Are You Working for It?Merry Everything. May your year end shed graciously, your celebrations with loved ones be delightful and your new year be a manifestation of all that you want. Next week I'll take a look at 2005 with you. Mars enters Sagittarius on the 25th at 8:04 am PST. If you aren't burdened by all your commitments financial and familial, you'll have a great time. Encounter the celebrations with a simple, easy stance. The crass commercialism obviously pulls heavily and pollutes the calm waters that this time of the year naturally offers. Santa comes down the swine flue and all are infected. Take a dose of simplicity and shit can the complicity. There is considerable abundance this year, for the majority. Many suffer grievously and mostly go unnoticed despite remarkable kindnesses this time of year. What's new? Sometimes I see it as the guilt assuagement season when token efforts stand in for eleven months of ignorance. Faith based righteous doing it is. I'd rather see the social evils addressed by the people, for the people, of the people all the year round. Enjoy the abundance now. Next holiday season will be a stark contrast with its gnarly Grand Cross. The economy is going to unravel, or at least people's faith in it. Economics in the marketplace is always something of the collective mind. Money itself is make believe. This ground of existence will be shaken at root in this next year. The collective is pregnant with it now. Many suffer in it already. More to come, and go. We have a Full Moon on Kwanzaa, the 26th, at 7:06 am PST. It's still very Sagittarius with Mars, Venus, Mercury and Pluto therein. Capricorn Sun is all by its lonesome and that evokes a very Capricorn feeling of loneliness. The holiday season always has this grinding juxtaposition of much to do about everything side by side with the deep desire for solitude. Even with all the loved ones and hoopla, the chronic sense of being alone persists. What you are lonely for is your self. Love of any and all sorts will never cure that ache. Claim your own consciousness and the hole/whole of the soul no longer needs to filled and fulfilled. You'll never miss the ancient reeking seeking. As we end the year and begin the new, what remains is the semi-conscious recognition that it doesn't matter one iota. All celebration, ritual, meaning and blah blah blog are the cover of the existential dilemma. Depression, with some notable personal karmic physiologic exceptions, is simply the recognition that the Dream depresses one's own consciousness so that you can play the game of the mind. It's that path that leads to nowhere/everywhere whilst supposedly getting you somewhere that will make you happy, whole or holy. Is it working for you? Are you working for it? In light of the end and such, here's a quote from the great and wonderful Scots artist Andy Goldsworthy. He spoke this in the precious documentary film about his work entitled: "Rivers and Tides". "The very thing that brings the work to life, is the thing that will cause its death" During Capricorn you can especially recognize and savor this obvious characteristic of Creation, the mind, the Dream. There's nothing to do about. You can let it all come undone for you. That undoing is not a deathing. It is an undeathing, an unliving, an unafterlifing, an unkarmaing. It's your choice.
