Love Penta’s journey had two distinct parts: half in the visible presence, and half in the invisible silent presence. It would be unrealistic to try and put the whole second part into words, but we trust that all was infused into the field, in support of future Stars. What follows is our best attempt to honour and distil the harvest of our voyage. 

Our story was a lot about journeying. Love placed us all into wild and unexpected movement – travelling extensively throughout these 6 months and also stretching to maintain some stability to prioritize the garden of our Penta and our Star. For us, the movement became a theme of the coming shift, opening us to patterns of relating via nomadic and wild authenticity within our intimate relationships, our local communities, our Gene Keys fractal family, and our SoC geometry. We dove deeply into the cauldron of Love, facing dissonance and resonance, control and valour, notions of hierarchy and heterarchy, and masculine and feminine poles. 

Meeting together in sisterhood supported us to digest, surrender, and contemplate while weaving with freedom, gentleness, and transparency. Intense themes arose for those of us in relationships and formed the basis of much of our sharing and contemplation. Also, our relationship with our ill and ailing parents, duty vs freedom. The rhythm of monthly keys empowered our dynamic and helped us to focus inwards, outwards, and back again. 

We learned how to flow more freely and transparently with the SoC membrane. At times, this felt like an introvert journey, not feeling a communion with Hive or other Pentas. The practical manifestation of our potential project felt more in the background, relative to what Love was catalyzing and opening for us personally, and interdependently. Yet this revealed the deeper nature of SoC, and taught us much about collective dynamics of this geometry and structure. The potential for clarity here is enormous but still needs to be reached. Complete surrender of human dynamics into a whole other spaceship of interaction, in the name of a philanthropic mission (where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts)… it is there, yet to be built in the invisible world, as embodied Love, Wisdom, Action, Hive vibrations here now, uniquely, as inner truth. All future SoCs are the building blocks of these invisible vehicles, to be launched in the collective after the great shift. 

We also acknowledge some of the recurring challenges we faced, for the sake of supporting future Stars. While our inner experience of Love Penta was enriching, nourishing, and intimate, we found ourselves the focus of on-going critique and concern from the Hive. This included doubts about the nature and quality of our investment, judgements around the form of our interaction and exchange, reproach for lack of perfect attendance, accusations of selfishly re-writing the rules for our own benefit, and recurring concern over our perceived lack of cohesion/commitment. This created a sense of fracture, resentment, and injustice, persisting until the end of the SoC, with feelings and issues not fully resolved. 

This was our greatest challenge to meet and transform throughout these 6 months. Our diplomatic skills were tested and stretched, grappling with deeper dynamics at play. We felt unfairly singled out and pathologized, with criticism tending to land less like constructive feedback, and more like interference, micro-management, distortion, projection. We respect that the Hive was doing the very best to fulfill its role, but its public critique contradicted the authentic inner truth of our journey, personally and collectively. A journey which bubbled over with commitment, surrender, sacred mirroring, frequent engagement and sharemony via Telegram (beyond bi-weekly meetings), and sacrifices made by all in service of the Star. 

Prioritizing where Love needs to be directed in any given moment became a central focus for us, and we felt choicelessly surrendered to Love’s course, even if this meant missing a meeting. We found refuge in the unpredictable and untameable nature of Love, which is difficult to box in, pin down, or confine. Love felt hard-wired to defy any sort of grasping or structure we attempted to contain it within. 

We affirm that the nature and quality of Love Penta’s offering to this Star was powerful, fluid, and flowing freely, as Love. Our commitment was at times unconventional, non-linear, and paradoxical, like Love. Despite any confusion, doubt, or perceptions of inadequacy around our investment – we felt the texture and volume of Love circulating within, among, and through us. We appreciated recent clarifications regarding correct boundaries of Hive jurisdiction, and clear orientation around not overreaching or dictating how Pentas operate. 

Mostly we experienced our Penta as a field of nourishing communion and sisterly care. Our inner experience of this feels clear and resolute. We feel that we fulfilled our higher purpose here precisely, with a purity that cannot be tarnished by external interpretations. We are grateful for the opportunity to practice sounding our truth, meeting every wave with radical trust and acceptance. We found ourselves often pondering the shadow of seriousness, and the inevitable constriction it causes. We returned again and again to the quintessential truth that commitment only exists in the now. And people don’t want/need to be fixed, they just want/need to be loved. 

Among our inquiries – understanding love as connection, but what is connection? Where can we be more loving? How can we communicate and connect through Love, even when the core of our message may be that we aren’t available for connection or reflection? How can we embody graciousness and courtesy towards our sacred mirrors when our own cups demand refilling? How does deepening self-connection harmonize and empower our outer experience of connection? The external criticism we met seemed to distract us from dancing more fully with these questions, though it also served to foster greater unity. 

We also explored inquiries around disassociation within organizations, and the fear of being trapped. We pondered points and lines of weakness within the greater Gene Keys matrix where reciprocity has shifted out of balance. Discerning dissonance and transforming discord, through Love’s discriminating wisdom, was our curriculum. 

We feel it’s important to highlight the lack of shared agreement around the duration of our SoC. More clarity here is essential for future stars. For some of us, it came as a surprise that there was any mention of a “3-6 month” goal, ideal, or prospective timeline for fulfillment/completion. We think boundaries such as this should be honored, and more whole group discussion would have been good. We pondered if our Love Penta crash-landed the SoC, with most of us desiring for it to draw to a close. 

One of us named a sense of weight, carrying our Penta while other members were physically absent for the flux of life and pilgrimages. We fully supported our fellow sisters’ journeys, going off-grid, etc… but in the future, perhaps it would be best to ask people to either wait, or drop the expectation of perfect attendance at meetings. 

We feel graced by the revelation that Love does not demand perfection or self-sacrifice. Love honors the innovating pulse of innocence, and the imperfectly perfect integrity of our altruistic hearts. We celebrate the freedom we gave ourselves to bend and adapt, the permission to explore and mutate within the SoC form and structure, particularly in this beta testing experiment. We venerate the banks of the Delta river, remaining mindful that we are all here to learn, evolve, and mature. 

We acknowledge the theme of initiation voiced by many in this first Star, and we understand that as pioneering initiators, we are like warriors on the frontlines… daring to venture into the unknown, boldly leaning towards the cusp of the new. As we tread this untrodden path through a dense and overgrown jungle, we inevitably face danger and discord, resistance and agitation, interference and obscuration. As agents of Love, we strived to embrace the wound with great care, harmony, and innocence. We did our very best to transform and transmute its tangles, to return non-Love with Love. 

We hold a prayer for all future Stars to achieve deep, abiding alignment with ease and grace. Remembering the vision of teamwork, and graciously holding the Hive accountable for embodying its role as listener, distiller, synthesizer of data, not as an authority on Penta function. And because our journey unfolded during a progression of 42 NN / 32 SN transit, we also take the wisdom of these keys to heart as formative influences in this first birth of the Star. We invite future Stars to release expectation, to hold space for Love’s fluidity, and to trust that divine detachment will support the preservation of whatever is truly fertile. To honor the potency of endings as a vital element of the process, to trust the cycle of life, death and rebirth, to not mistake mutations for failures, and to see any “destination” of this SoC process as an emergent, evolving, co-creative vision. We honor this collective experiment of synarchy and celebrate its alchemical harvest.
