I remember this symbol in an oracle reading exchange which I drew for someone. I spoke of detachment, of strengthening the will of ‘standing still’ at the top of one’s hill.
Last night I watched The Pursuit of Happyness. It seems so fitting so for this symbol.

It was if we were watching the mystery of the crucifixion being reenacted and instead of succumbing to this fate, Will Smith fought back with all his might. He didn’t allow one brief moment to overshadow his life or his spirit. He clung to the conviction that nothing and nobody could put out his spark that alone shone within him. Although outside forces said otherwise, Chris Gardner and his son were able to withstand greater and greater tensions from others. They endured hardships and pain, but together they learned the importance that nothing is done in a hurry and that the pursuit of happiness is something we work progressively towards, patiently and regularly. Never once did he stop nurturing and caring for his son even though constrictions and obligations continually weighed him down.
I think with this symbol we can resist change by clinging to old ways. Chris Gardner was for a time in denial. There were changes and turning points in his relationships. And this went beyond love relationships…….it can be applied to any one on one relationship in our life, whether they be customers, clients, mates, business partners or open enemies.
Will Smith helped his son through their transformation by providing guidance when it was most needed. There was a turning point in the way in which he saw the importance of material values in his life. There were breakthroughs and dissolutions of existing contracts such as his self-employment, marriage, his home etc…..
His idealistic goals were filled with high expectations and he worked towards these diligently and with the greatest of integrity. His intentions regarding responsibility were of the highest moral order and still he acknowledged and listened to the validity of another person’s point of view. But he stood his ground at all costs. He never undermined his spirit or his son’s. Through his many limitations he learned to listen to his intuition, he learned discipline, structure and manifestation.
