As I continue with my water fasting, I have been experiencing a profound shift in my awareness. Not only is my connection to my Life Work and Purpose becoming clearer, but I am also learning new depths about surrender, effort, and balance—concepts that were once abstract but now feel more tangible. The process of fasting has opened a door to heightened consciousness, allowing me to see things I couldn’t have before. For example, I thought I had fully let go of cravings, that the usual urges for food had dissolved.
But as I sit in stillness, contemplating, I noticed something unexpected. Twice, for just a fleeting second, a craving surfaced in my mind on Day 1 and Day 2. It wasn’t like the cravings I used to experience—this was subtle, almost imperceptible. If I hadn’t been in such a heightened state of awareness, I would have missed it completely. But in this quiet space of fasting and deep contemplation, my heightened consciousness was able to catch it.
This experience made me realize something profound: our normal consciousness moves so quickly, and the subtler shifts in our thoughts often pass by unnoticed. It is only in stillness, in moments where I am truly present and attuned to my body and mind, that I can catch these fleeting cravings.
They are not the overpowering urges but rather quick, passing thoughts or sensations. Recognizing them for what they are—temporary and impermanent—has been enlightening. It is a reminder that our awareness plays a huge role in how we experience the world. When I slow down and become present, I can observe these thoughts without being swept away by them. This subtle awareness is part of the transformation that is happening within me.
This connects deeply with the lessons I am learning from Gene Key 35—the key of Hunger, Adventure, and Boundlessness. As I fast, I have realized that true freedom comes from surrendering to the divine flow of life, letting go of the need to control. The craving I experienced briefly was a reminder of how our desires often arise from unconscious conditioning. But in this heightened state of awareness, I am able to surrender to the present moment, to the unfolding process, and to the natural rhythm of life. I don’t need to force or control. Instead, I can simply allow life to flow through me.
This brings me to a significant realization: surrender and effort must be in balance. In the past, I believed that effort was the key to achieving my goals—that by pushing and striving, I could control the outcome. But through fasting and deep contemplation, I have learned that surrendering to the universe or divine will is just as essential as effort. Effort, in this new understanding, isn’t about pushing or forcing; it is about showing up with intention and presence, while surrendering to the divine flow. The craving I experienced, so subtle and fleeting, was a reminder that effort is still required—staying present, staying aware, showing up for myself. But the surrender comes in letting go of the need to control the outcome.
The integration of Gene Key 30 (Desire, Lightness, Rapture) with this understanding feels deeply significant. I have noticed that, as I continue to observe cravings, something unexpected has been happening. The desire for food, or anything external, is no longer something that controls me. Instead, desire itself has started to feel lighter. It arises, like a whisper, and then fades away, as if it is no longer tied to any intense need or craving. This is the rapture that Gene Key 30 speaks of—the ecstasy that comes when we release the heavy weight of desire and allow it to transform into something light, something fleeting and natural. The subtle cravings that I experienced earlier no longer feel like something to resist. Instead, I am experiencing them with a sense of lightness, allowing them to come and go without attaching any significance to them. This is the beauty of desire as seen through the lens of Gene Key 30—it is not about avoiding or suppressing desires, but about seeing them as part of the flow of life, observing them with rapture, and letting them dissolve without clinging to them.
This shift in how I experience desire also aligns with Gene Key 26, my Life Work, which speaks to artfulness and invisibility. I am learning that my creativity and expression don’t need to be rooted in the intense, sometimes clinging desires for external validation or achievement. Just as Gene Key 30 teaches, desire can become light, flowing, and joyful when we allow it to be. The art I create doesn’t need to be forced; it can simply emerge naturally, with intention and presence, but without attachment.
The rapture of creation comes from surrendering to the process and allowing the expression to unfold without needing to control how it is received or how it will be viewed.
Similarly, Gene Key 36 (Humanity and Compassion) has been teaching me that desire is an inherent part of the human experience, especially in our relationships with others. I have often viewed desire as something that pulls me outside myself, creating attachments. But now, through the lens of Gene Key 30, I see that desire—when it is observed with awareness and without attachment—can become an expression of compassion. As I fast and experience moments of discomfort or hunger, I am learning to be compassionate with myself, to allow these desires to pass without judgment. I am also learning to hold space for the desires and emotional turbulence of others, offering compassion without needing to fix or change anything. The rapture of compassion is in the deep, unconditional acceptance of both my own desires and those of others, without trying to control them or make them go away.
Through the lens of Gene Key 30, I see that desire—when it is allowed to rise and fall without resistance—becomes something that lightens the soul. I am no longer driven by cravings, but rather, I experience a new kind of rapture in simply allowing life to unfold. The process of fasting, which once seemed like a test of endurance, has now become a journey of surrender and joy. The balance of effort and surrender, the freedom from craving, and the lightness of desire are now interwoven into my life, guiding me to a deeper understanding of my true self and my purpose. Desire no longer pulls me in a heavy, unbalanced way. It is light, it is flowing, and it is part of the great dance of life—allowing me to experience the beauty of the rapture in every moment.
Amazing how Gene Key 30.weaved in when I was studying Dream Arc.
Everything in life—our surroundings, the people we meet, the situations we face, animals, insects, trees, and nature—serves as our teacher, guiding us through every experience and action.
