Black Panther ~ Embracing the Unknown (contrary)

Tweet

Today's message from contrary Panther and contrary Bat warns that we may have allowed our fears to hold us captive, preventing us from moving on and embracing our true Life Purpose. We have "what if"ed ourselves into a corner and now feel trapped with no way out. Black Panther advises us to release our expectations about how the world "should" be and learn to see it through eyes of wonder, expecting miracles and magic around every corner. Learn to embrace the unknown and see your life path as a grand adventure instead of a trail swarming with obstacles and boogymen. Only when you learn to release your fear will you be able to truly embrace your life. Let it go so that you can begin the adventure!

If Black Panther is appearing contrary, you may be seeing situations as black or white, good or bad, with no middle ground. Be free of mental presuppositions and expectations. It could be time to do some housecleaning. Let go of negative people, limiting thoughts, or any fear of being alone. If you are out of balance your shadow may be creating demons of fear. Enter the stillness and refuse to surrender your personal authority to avoidance mechanisms, justifications, or mental gymnastics. Remember, the fear of "what if" will always keep you from enjoying the present moment and life's gift is the present.

Feeling jumpy, nervous, confused, paranoid, afraid of being alone, or somehow at risk? These feelings are the shadow's domain. Tell your shadow to get lost! Then acknowledge and release any feelings of discomfort. Find the emptiness of the void and snuggle into Black Panther's midnight fur. In all cases, you are reminded that every human being emerged from the darkness of the womb; you once felt that the silence and ebony void of this nurturing space was the safest place to Be.
