Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance.

Number 2

Element: Earth
Polarity: - (negative, feminine, cool, dark, internal)
Quality: fixed
The 2's element teach us that it is stable and firm. It is confident and strong. From the earth (2's element) we can learn the power of silence and giving. The earth is not judgmental and provides for all. The number 2 is the same.
From its polarity we learn that 2 is a power that is cultivated internally. We first need to learn how cooperate with ourselves before we go out into the world and try to promote cooperation. cooperation can not be forced onto someone it has to be willingly taken. that is where wisdom comes into play. By plugging into the #2 we get access to the wisdom to bring people and systems together.
From its quality we find that the #2 is fixed. This means that its axe'(power) is released in our lives by using patience. This power does not bend, or adapt to the world. The world eventual bends to it. This power stands like the earth firm and unmovable.
Embrace the 2 and see what you can find in this wondrous symbol and release its axe' (power)n your life.
