The 6th Shadow of Conflict is the single most influential Gene Key in regard to the issue of human communication. At its highest potential, the 6th Gene Key is the archetype of peace on earth, whilst at its lowest potential it is the root cause of all human conflict. This conflict stems from the human emotional system and our inability to handle the voltage of extreme emotional states. Conflict breaks out whenever two or more people agree to identify with their emotional state. As long as you surrender your will to the emotional system, then you will be trapped by its volatile nature.
Within the human body, the 6th Shadow relates to the pH level of your blood. Its job is to maintain an optimum balance of acidity and alkalinity so that your cells can thrive. As a metaphor on a wider scale, we can see that the 6th Shadow is about the loss of this balance in the world at large. In particular it is about the imbalance between male and female and over time has given rise to the notion of the battle of the sexes. This battle or conflict is not just about men and women — it is about the balance of all polarities — religion and science, east and west, rich and poor. The world itself has its own kind of pH level, and wherever it is imbalanced, conflict ensues. In the same way that an overbalance of acidic body tissue becomes an environment for viruses and cancer to thrive, so do social imbalances result in upheaval, corruption and at their worst, war.
The 6th Shadow can be interpreted individually through relationships or collectively through communities. At an individual level, this Shadow manifests through your emotional state. If you have ever been emotionally repressed through shame or guilt or abuse, the entire culture within your being has been disturbed. Likewise, if you are utterly ruled by your emotions, there can be no sense of harmony inside you. It is well known how much your emotional state influences your biological health. If you are stressed emotionally your body will suffer. Emotional problems are the greatest cause of illness on our planet, and the 36th Shadow of Turbulence, the programming partner to this 6th Shadow, reinforces this fact. The 36th Shadow conditions you to be nervous when you feel uncertain or insecure about anything in life. It is this nervousness that forms the background frequency of our whole planet. The biofeedback loop between these two shadows is rooted in nervousness and defensiveness. The 36th Shadow makes you nervous, feeding the 6th Shadow, which responds through making you behave defensively. Likewise, your own defensiveness makes other people behave in a nervous manner around you.
Human beings are unconsciously addicted to conflict. We long for peace individually and globally, but our collective low frequency ensures that we keep reinforcing the patterns of conflict. Nowhere is this seen more clearly than in our relationships. The conflict between male and female is part of the oldest wound there is, and it is hot-wired into our genetics. You are genetically sub-programmed to defend yourself from the opposite sex, and until your frequency rises above the emotional gravitational pull of the opposite sex, you can never really know peace. This is the deep irony of the 6th Shadow — to bring an end to conflict, you have to give up your attraction to the opposite sex. Sex and war are deeply interrelated. This is a profound and perhaps disturbing truth for many people, and especially so because there is nothing we can do about it. Human sexuality can only be transcended through physiological mutation, which is dependent on the extent of your connection to the higher planes of reality.
When the 6th Shadow is viewed at a social level, it dictates the relationships between different racial groups. Here the genetic defence reflex becomes truly dangerous, since we are subprogrammed to distrust other gene pools and cultures. It is this 6th Shadow that first gave birth to the idea of national borders and boundaries, and it is the 6th Shadow that is responsible for war. War has been a by-product of our genetic makeup for millennia. However, the 6th Shadow is not as frightening as it sounds when viewed in evolutionary terms. It is an ancient part of our genetics, and it has been a necessary part of our evolution. It ensured that racial diversity existed in the first place, allowing different gene pools to expand and thrive without too much inbreeding. Only relatively recently have all the gene pools begun to merge with each other, which suggests that the human race has arrived at a very important genetic axis point.
The 6th Shadow is about maintaining boundaries and borders. It is about who is included and who is excluded, and its entire basis is defence. The 6th Shadow causes you to believe that you have to defend yourself from danger. You can see this at both an individual level and a national level. Your emotional defence strategies are primarily laid down during your second seven-year cycle — from the age of 7 until 14, as you navigate puberty. An enormous amount of life energy is tied up in protecting ourselves from the volatile emotional situations we felt as children. Unless we enter some deep process of de-conditioning, we will continue to carry these defences throughout our adult lives. In the same way, on a national level, we invest the majority of our energy in defence. The aggregate world defence budget is equivalent to well over one thousand billion dollars. One can only imagine how different the world might be were even one tenth of this sum used in a creative way.
The 6th Shadow is the reason we cannot create world peace. Until such time as human beings move through an emotional revolution at an individual level and find peace in our relationships, this Shadow cannot be transcended. However, as we shall see, it is also written into our human story that revolutions do occur, and in fact one of the biggest is beginning right now.
The repressive nature of the 6th Shadow is concerned with maintaining peace between people, regardless of the cost. This pattern is based entirely upon fear and means that these people will totally compromise themselves in order to maintain control of their emotional environment. This is the defence pattern of over-attentiveness, and these are the people pleasers. The repressive nature will sweep conflict under the carpet by adopting any behaviour that will keep it at bay. The problem here is that unless conflict is dealt with transparently it tends to eventually explode. The over-attentive nature is at its core deeply false, which means that it will invoke unconscious distrust in others. Over-attentive natures also tend to draw tactless natures to them, resulting in some spectacularly dysfunctional relationships and family dynamics. When these people finally develop the courage to face conflict, they realise it is never as bad as they feared.
The other side of this 6th Shadow is unable to contain its emotions at all. Lack of emotional tact and timing betrays a low frequency nature that inevitably results in a backlash. These people are always finding themselves in difficult emotional situations, which they make worse by giving vent to their anger, as well as projecting it onto others. They are unable to take responsibility for their own volatile feelings. Their most common defence is to lash out and then storm away. The dilemma of the tactless nature is that it is deaf to its own lack of tact. These people assume that the problem is always in the other person which, unfortunately, earns them no friends and makes it very difficult for others to get close to them. The only kind of person who will remain with such a pattern is the over-attentive nature described above. The secret to breaking this pattern is for reactive natures to take full responsibility for their emotions, instead of remaining stuck in a teenager mentality.
At a heightened frequency, the 6th Gift pulls rapidly away from the world of conflict and argumentation. This is the Gift of Diplomacy — the ability to adjust your own behaviour to create a harmonious exchange with others. This gift is a by-product of opening your heart to another person. As you become clearer about your own emotional conditioning, you begin to feel more peaceful. Because this Gift is so deeply connected with the pH balance in your physical body, it also has the effect of stabilising the emotional aura in your environment. In other words, when one is able to see and own their unconscious projections, they actually rupture the collective Shadow patterns wherever they go. If one person is not playing the reaction/blame game, the other is forced to come to terms with his or her own demons.
You can see how the balance of pH in the body can be further understood through this Gift. For a relationship to be healthy there must be a balance of yin and yang, of receiving and giving, listening and expressing. Conflict ensues when this balance is lost. The 6th Gift has the effect of instantly applying the required amount of give and take in order to maintain peacefulness. As an example, if one person in a relationship becomes aggressive, the diplomatic countermeasure is to absorb the aggression and then pass the energy back without adding anything to it. This may be done in any number of ways, but tactful honesty is one of the most common. Honesty carries an extraordinary power and is one of the keys to Diplomacy. The other key is timing. You have to be honest in the right way and at the right moment.
People displaying the 6th Gift are always attuned to the right timing of how to act and what to say through the strong resonance field of their aura. These people can physically feel into another person’s aura. They can do this because it is a specific genetic gift and also because they are emotionally mature. Emotional maturity means that your awareness operates even during the most profound emotional states. As you become more and more aware of your own emotional patterns, the frequency passing through your emotional system is released and quickened. This makes you much more sensitive at an energetic level, like an early warning system for conflict. When you are operating out of this 6th Gift you can sense conflict in others before it even arises. This enables you to temper your own actions and/or words to disperse the conflict.
The Gift of Diplomacy is far more than the ability to speak the right words, however. That is a mere surface skill that can be mastered by anyone even at a low frequency. True diplomacy is an energetic gift operating through a person’s aura. Because this 6th Gene Key is so embedded within human sexuality, it is about the penetration of borders and boundaries. Because of the 6th Shadow, there is tremendous friction between the opposite sexes. Both sides are so busy defending their individuality that there is very little real love or connection. But this friction is maintained only as long as each party hangs on to its defences. As the 6th Gift enters into human relationships, the emotional barriers begin to break down between people. The 6th Gift catalyses the process of dissolving the natural friction between opposites and in doing so, it allows a far greater exchange of energy between them. This is exactly what the experience of falling in love is.
As part of the chemical genetic family known as the Ring of Alchemy, the 6th Gift is playing a pivotal role in the transformation of the human species. This codon ring is formed by four Gene Keys — the 6th, 40th, 47th and 64th — whose themes are Diplomacy, Resolve, Transmutation and Imagination respectively. This is a very powerful genetic grouping. The 6th Gift is breaking down the barriers in human relationships, the 40th Gift is forging this new openness into our communities, the 47th Gift is allowing us to transform our old ways and the 64th Gift is opening us to a fresh set of possibilities for living in a new way. At a collective level therefore, every person manifesting the 6th Gift is a participant in this deep alchemical process of gradually bringing peace to earth. These people realise how throttling defensiveness can be, both in individuals, cultures and whole races. As this Gift enters the world in a more widespread manner, as indeed it must, we shall begin to see the dismantling of the many types of borders and barriers that keep people apart from each other.
The ultimate defence is emptiness. This is the essence of the wisdom taught by the great sages. Defence maintains the illusion that we are separate. As such it is truly futile because it protects against something that doesn’t really exist in the first place. There is a famous story called the Empty Boat told by the Chinese sage Chuang Tzu. One day an old man was crossing a river in his boat when he mistakenly collided with another boat. The man in the second boat began shouting at the old man, cursing him. However, to the second man’s dismay, the old man did not react in any way whatsoever but just stared at him impassively. The old man was an enlightened being who had transcended all sense of his own individuality. For him, there was no one in his boat to be shouted at, thus there was no one to defend and therefore no reaction within his being.
The 6th Siddhi of Peace is one of the truly great Siddhis. It is the underlying nature of all the Siddhis. In point of fact, it is the underlying nature of form itself once its true essence has been realised as consciousness. The 6th Siddhi is the final result of the process that occurs in the 6th Gift. The 6th Gift is marked by a constant balancing of opposites. In this sense, diplomacy requires a subtle effort since it is juggling within the realms of duality. However, at a certain point, this process spontaneously gives way to the 6th Siddhi and duality itself is transcended. You might say that whilst the 6th Gift is the activity that maintains peacefulness, the 6th Siddhi is peace itself. Peace is the reality that is experienced once all boundaries have dissolved. It is the true nature of humanity.
So many great teachers have spoken of the Peace of the 6th Siddhi. When Jesus stated that the Kingdom of Heaven has already arrived, but that people simply cannot see it, he was talking about this Siddhi. Peace is an auric emanation that surrounds anyone in a Siddhic state. In this siddhic state the awareness within your being separates from your emotional nature. It rises up and floats upon the vibrations of your emotional longing. This is a spontaneous process that cannot be caused by anything within your individuality, since it is that very individuality that has to die. The underlying emotional energy that was previously experienced as longing is now experienced as peace. Awareness is no longer trapped within the vicissitudes of the emotional human drama. In the deepest sense, something utterly wondrous happens inside you. The final boundary — the boundary of your body — dissolves. When this occurs awareness is no longer localised in the body, but is experienced as travelling through all forms. You realise that all of life is alive and that, even though the awareness within a form may dissolve as the form passes away, the consciousness behind this game of life and death always remains.
The sense of peace that emanates from these revelations is indescribable. All your defences disappear and your boat becomes empty. Paradoxically, at the same time, this very emptiness is flooded by everythingness. Profound changes occur within your physical body before, during and after this realisation. Since your outer walls have dissolved, the process is mirrored within your body chemistry and all inner conflict comes to an end. It is as though all the cells within your body make peace with each other and experience their own inner Garden of Eden. In this sense, the true Garden of Eden is the body itself. The waves of peace that accompany this event travel deep into the collective consciousness of all humanity. To be in the physical presence of the 6th Siddhi is to bathe your body in its truth. It is to experience greater awareness than your own, travelling physically and emotionally through your body. Because the current human form is not designed for these heightened states of consciousness, some strange phenomena can occur within the body of someone experiencing this Siddhi.
The 6th Siddhi is the original and future state of humanity. From it stem our myths and memories of paradise and our intuitions and highest hopes for the future. When this state dawns inside you, your body begins to mutate. In a sense, it is trying to build a better vehicle to house this intense new frequency, but the raw materials are not fully present yet. Humankind is still evolving the new energetic circuitry that can carry these frequencies. This is why so many great sages suddenly become diseased. In particular they can experience problems and imbalances within the body’s pH. These things occur because the body is trying to catch up to its future state. Regardless of what is experienced physically, the sense of utter peace does not even flicker. In certain rare cases, the elements of the future body are available through your genetics, and the process of building the future body can and does continue. This involves the 47th Siddhi of Transfiguration, part of the Ring of Alchemy mentioned earlier. The 6th Siddhi has a very special quality in this sense, in that it contains instructions on how to build a new genetic form. It is interesting to note that glycine, the amino acid for which the 6th Gene Key codes, is one of the only amino acids discovered in interstellar clouds in deep space. The suggestion is that this amino acid may play a key role in the formation of new life in the galaxy.
The new form of humanity is connected to this issue of the body’s pH and also to the boundaries within the body itself. The ultimate boundary is our skin, and one effect of this Siddhi can be mutations in the skin. These mutations affect the way in which skin cells trap light, so that the skin of someone manifesting this Siddhi can appear to be translucent. If the 47th Siddhi is also involved in the process, an even more extraordinary phenomenon occurs — the Transfiguration of the human body into what the ancients called the rainbow body or the body of glory. This Transfiguration will eventually overtake our entire species. The builder of this process is the 6th Siddhi. As our skin cells learn to capture light, our digestive system will gradually become defunct, since light contains the ultimate nutrients for the subtle body. As far as the pH of the body is concerned, this spiritualisation of the physical form will gradually weaken the extremes of the pH scale, thereby reducing the acidity and alkalinity of the body. Eventually, as all the solutions within the body become neutralised, the hydrogen ions that form the very basis of the pH scale will evaporate and the body will disappear altogether.
On a collective level, the 6th Siddhi will be the very last Siddhi to fully mutate in the coming shift in global consciousness. Only when peace is recognised on earth as the natural state of our collective consciousness can the future vehicle of humanity be built. In other words, the myth of world peace is the pretext for building the future body that will take us beyond form itself.
