As you wake up in the morning, imagine that simply opening your eyes and greeting a new day is an act of power: you are affirming, perhaps unconsciously, your natural place in the great planetary cycle of day and night, sunrise and sunset. It’s one of the most basic sources of energy and vitality for life on the planet.

The many cycles we can see inside of us and all around us do not just describe how human and planetary systems function; they enable life itself, at all levels. Cycles are a building block in the universe’s brilliant operating system that brings order and structure, which in turn enable conscious life (like us) to grow and refine. 

We further deepen our appreciation of the meaning and wonder of cycles throughout the universe in the latest “Current Openings” conversation between Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis.

If cycles are natural and all around us, it might be tempting to then think, so what’s the big deal? What more do we need to understand? As Aviv and David explore, the more we are consciously aware of the logic throughout creation, the deeper we can integrate with far more potent sources of universal intelligence and energy.

Other insights in their conversation:

• Two different energy states work as a cycle in harmony with the planet: daylight, when we're awake and doing; and night, when we enter a new polarity and recharge.
• We can bring our awareness to a special practice each day of asking what we feel ready to shed, or sunset, and what we hope to sunrise, or begin new.
• Cycles enable continuity, renewal, and evolution; without cycles, there would be no decay and replenishment, no death and rebirth.
• The ‘big bang’ is a masculine origin story, rather than a natural birthing theology of the universe, with inherent purpose: life, conscious life, and evolution of more advanced conscious life.
• Creation logic can free us from the trifecta of the human condition: unconscious habits; reacting from the emotion of the moment, and being locked in what we ‘should’ do.
• There is overlapping harmony in cycles: us with the planet, herself synchronized in harmony with the sun, as they move within the bigger cycles of the universe.
