Expressly Polar

The planets are in perhaps the most sophisticated geometries I've ever seen. They are subtle and profound. So are these times. Listen: you may be feeling shitty but you are fine and things are fine and finally you can let go of your identification with that noise of the mind. War is the temper of our time but all war is simply the mind warring with itself. As the layers of the chronic insanity build, the stories of war become more believable. So strange it all is, but at the bottom of the suffering is the same stupid mechanism that runs the Dream. It is not you, never will be you. You have believed it is you for a very long time. Give it up and: Be - Free.

New Moon is in Scorpio on the 12th at 6:27 am PST. Mars is in Scorpio, which it rules, until Christmas Day. Fight or flight adrenalizes the psyche. Crazy spins of aggression turned outwardly and inwardly rake through the unconscious. Guilt and resentment fester and foster fractured frenzies. Emblematic of these deep currents is the suicide of Iris Chang, the dear author of "The Rape of Nanking" and other works in which she brought forward to the collective consciousness some of the worst war crimes of all time and their cover-ups. The war inside is the toughest of them all. May she rest in peace. May the world appease its unrest.

If you are now suffering with great turmoil, please reach out to people and express yourself. Do not believe the voices, the feelings, the numbness. I understand how difficult it is to break through, but you will and it's okay. You are closer to being done karmically than you may know. You can never defeat the noise, the Weight, the wait. You can let it go and realize it is not you. A recent client of mine who works with suicidal patients told me that occasionally when she sees a window in the patient's psyche, she reminds them that they actually cannot die. This scrambles the suicide game; it just takes the life out of that way of death. The burden of our body weighs heavily and so there are many heavy ways to unburden from the flesh. Even the healthiest, happiest person is at some level marching directly toward the grave. This gravity, this grave concern is now raw in the personal and collective psyche. Getting rid of your body by any means suicidal or ascensional does nothing to clear your karma. Changing seats on the titanic Wheel still leaves you with that sinking feeling. Blub blub blub.

Get mad or you may become mad. Let the juices flow. Anger is healthy when you don't believe it. Do you believe in farts? Why believe in anger? Let it rip, with reasonable regard for those around you, but let it rip. Ya, it stinks some times. So..... so does perfume. Be direct in all of your expression. You won't be rude. You'll be present and playful and a whole lot lighter than if you keep that silly crap inside.

The death of Yassar Arafat is also remarkably lined up with the current astrology. The Palestinian fight for sovereignty is authentic, as is Israel's. Mr. Arafat fought the good fight with awfully bad tactics against an establishment who fights the good fight with awfully bad tactics. Lashing rehashing lashing...... so goes the shadow of Scorpio. The results are bile and vile. When will we get tired of it all?

Freedom is never actually won. It is exercised. Freedom is who you are. The walls and weapons keep in the fear while purportedly keeping out what one fears. Powerlessness is its own power but power leads to more abject powerlessness. A caricature of such is the fact that Mr. Arafat dies with an estate worth some hundreds of millions of dollars. Poor leadership keeps people poor. If people lead their own lives, leaders must earn their keep instead of keeping the people's earnings.

I've just returned from two months of working in England and Scotland from Penzance to Findhorn, Kent to Edinburgh. (Thank you to all my hosts and clients and to the Brits in general.) The war in Iraq and all the other treacherous US policies are universally deplored in the UK and Europe. Britain's own role in the boondogglery is hotly debated and is seen as a Blairing mistake. I watched the US campaign and election from the lens of British journalism and that is a fine point of view. The state of journalism in America is totally pathetic and ignorant. The propagandization of the American public couldn't be more obvious. America is a commercial culture dominated my corporate mass trance. It's only going to get worse. The burning Bush is talking in the desert. He thinks he is Moses but is only a charlatan Hessian. This war will behead him and his kind. It's going to take years though. Big scary shit will hit the fan by Christmas. The new year is foreboding of things to come. Don't buy the doom and gloom. Be present with it. If you look at your own now, you won't be subject to the king's curses. All of the grotesque dregs of the Piscean Age are coming up seductively. Do not sleep with the Fishes.

The Cartoon of Creation is expressly polar. Dense contraction leads to etheric expansion leads to dense contraction. This pulse is coming conscious to you. Things aren't actually getting worse. Things are getting conscious which means that all the unconscious prior worsenesses that were buried in the shadow come forth and froth. The end of the world, personal and collective, is being processed and processed in the psyche and in the manifest life. Being scared to death and being sacred to death are the polar sides of the coin of the surrealm. It'll keep you buying another Game. Goodness and rightness and lightness are killing you and them. Jump off the polar express. Give up believing in Santa Claus and satan claws. Wean from the tit for tat. Express yourself directly. Make choices directly. Claim your own consciousness and clear your own karma. The magic of our time is that you can let go of the illusion and play with the Game.

Really you are,
Mark
