In 📝The Gene Keys, the 8th Siddhi of Exquisiteness is the natural revelation and manifestation of all the siddhic states. Each Siddhi is holographic in the sense of being reflected within all other Siddhis. Exquisiteness is experienced when the divine essence begins to shine through the individual. In this superlative state of bliss, you fall in love with your own pristine manifestation because beauty is beyond all words. it is through this uniqueness that the divine currents can be accessed. Exquisiteness hints at beauty beyond all words. You shine like a diamond in the heart of creation and wherever you look, you see other diamonds in various states of clarity, each one unique and each one exquisite and incomparable.
At this rarefied level of consciousness, where all levels paradoxically cease, you come to realize the great joke of individuality and differentiation—despite its exquisiteness, individuality is an optical illusion created by the mind. You experience yourself riding in a genetic vehicle that is unique, but your being rests in the consciousness field behind all differentiated forms. This is the stage at which you achieve the transcendence of your genetics. You remain differentiated at the level of form, but at the collective universal level, your awareness permeates all forms, making you both a drop in the ocean as well as the ocean itself.
Your true nature is wildness. There is no taming where the divine is concerned, and thus this state of exquisiteness sees through mankind's many veils. All systems break down under this wild, ebullient energy that comes straight from the source of creation. The few who have manifested this Siddhi have been as fleeting and beautiful as light playing through clouds. Life never repeats itself and they are never the same from moment to moment. In every single second, they are new. This is the origin and meaning of the famous Zen saying: “You can never step in the same river twice.” This saying points to the truth of the gth Siddhi the truth of human nature. Like water, it is always moving, changing and evolving but the river itself is unchanging, and the river is consciousness.
People in whom this truth is reflected shine as bright lights amidst the grey background of history. The great avatars and sages who walked among us expressed the true nature of this Siddhi. Our most common mistake lies in trying to emulate such people, which immediately from our own uniqueness and drops us back into the Shadow of Mediocrity.
The people of the 8th Siddhi are not leaders. They are examples. They do not want anyone to or mimic them. Wherever such people see the inauthentic or imitative, their very nature exposes its ugliness. Because of this trait, they have a very powerful liberating effect on individuals. At the same time they are often criticised and spurned by society. Like Socrates, they wish for people to find their own answers and their own questions. Their very presence acts as a light to free individuals from structured systems. Their language is the language of the rebel, and they use beauty as a means to reflect an individual's true nature. They are not limited to any single form of expression but will play with science or art, yoga or tantra, logic or poetry, since to them all expressions can be a means to display the exquisiteness of the Divine in form. To the person immersed in the blissfulness of this 8th Siddhi, all life is absolutely clear. This clarity moreover is paradoxically found in the very uncertainty and wildness of life. These people leave no tracks for others to follow. They know life as a rush of contradictions and mysteries never designed to be solved.
As an aspect of the genetic family known as the Ring of Water, the Siddhi of Exquisiteness is chemically bonded to the 2nd Siddhi of Unity. These are the two great feminine Gene Keys in the human genome, drawing all human beings along their inevitable journey to self-realization. One of the great mysteries of the 21 Codon Rings is found here. The Ring of Water forms a kind of eternal genetic knot with its polarity, the Ring of Fire. These two chemical families and their amino acids phenylalanine and lysine move us human beings along the trajectory of our destinies, ensuring that our genetic material finds its opposite match. Even deep within the body, these chemical families set the primal blueprint for the balance of all the opposing forces inside us. It is in the crossfire of these two Codon Rings that the mystical figure-of-eight is forged within each of us. This eternal love knot deep within our planetary gene pool sets each man and each woman squarely on the human journey. The true symbolism of the number eight represents the timeless quest for the buried treasure that lies inside each of us — that elusive diamond of our true nature.
People of the 8th Siddhi sparkle like exquisite rare jewels. Such people create their path as they walk it. Their legacy to the world is to dismantle all concepts of how one *should *live or what one needs to do in order to attain any particular state. These are the only people who are not strangers in the world since they are inside existence itself. To them, the only outsiders in the world are those who look outside themselves for guidance or definition, and the only strangers in the world are those who spend their lives in imitation of someone else because that is what makes then strangers unto themselves. These people give you no hope of following them at all. The only thing they give the world is their own exquisite lovingness — their absolute delight in being abandoned to the mystery itself, with no need for method or meaning. Theirs is the rush of existence, the aching pulse of the passing moment, and the boundless joy that can only come from touching the core of your own existence.
