Make Choices Not Judgments
This is a most cranky weekend. The Moon moves through Aries
thereby forming a weekend Grand Cross with Sun/Saturn opposition
squared to the Moon opposed to Jupiter in the Cardinal Signs.
It's a mind grinder.
Get on with things! Don't think about it. You can bring things in
to form now. Be intentional and choiceful. You will be burning
all manner of fears, judgments and insecurities. The mind wants
you to shut down and shut up. Fuck the mind. Burn the bastard.
Are you tired of that weasel yet? The crank in this weekend's
crankiness revolves around relationship/family layers. There's
good dollops of work/money/security kinda of goop in there too.
Let it peel, as always. It's the smelly stuff on the bottom of
your soul. Let it go. Let your soul go too. It's smelly too;
maybe frankincense and myrrh, but it stinks. It's not you. It is
an unconscious projection of your own being. Get on with your
life while realizing it's a Dream at every level. Play with it
all and it will less play you.
You don't have to do anything. Make choices. There is a vast
difference in what seems to be semantics about all of this.
Aren't you doing something when you make a choice? Yes,
eventually you are doing something. But doing is loaded with
projection. The Dream is endless Much Ado About Nothing leading
to The Tempest of drama while you feel like Richard III, thrice
dicked. Choose first. Be intentional in your life, while
realizing that it is all projections. Doing is the state of
believing that what you do will make a difference on the way to
getting yourself, getting yourself fulfilled, getting yourself
enlightened, etc. Give up realizing the mind, the stuff, the body
and spirit and all. Realize your own consciousness. You are the
fun. The rest suggests you in the in-trancing hypno-optimist of
it all that you are going to get pleased, whole and holy in it
all.
Has it worked yet? Do you actually believe that the upstairs
beings have graduated, that God is Good and Great? And therefore,
you are not? That the angels and saints and such are in the happy
hunting grounds? And you are in the unhappy haunting grind? It is
all a dream. New agisms and cosmologies glibly speak to this
world being an illusion while the fantasies above their crown
chakras are supposedly real and eternal. How surreal can you get?
Well........ the worlds, here, below and above are beginning to
generously reveal the silliness of the whole presto chango cycle.
Belief in any ascent to anywhere as some most excellent Holywould
will leave you holding a large bag of shadow. Meanwhile, and I do
mean mean, your righteous hand acts to correct what your left has
done, badly. Go unfigure.
An aside: Now and again I am corresponded to concerning my use of
naughty words and general blaspheming. Words is words. Take them
or leave them. If you take them seriously, you have been taken by
beliefs made real. Make beliefs real in the years ahead and you
will reel in the ever surreal. The Bardos have come to Earth and
you can't bridge it. How seductive it will be. How old it will
feel. How drowned and out will be your being. If you find what I
say offensive, so be it. My work is to bring whatever is
unconscious in2light, to consciousness. My writing and speaking
and consulting are intended to pop the bubbles of karmic patterns
that you are suffering in. But finding what I say as offensive is
a defensive reaction. Project blame on to me or anything and
you've slipped deeper into the belief box, that cozy coffin of
the mind.
I love hearing what folks have to say and I do not object to
anyone's opinions and views. Expressing what we feel, see, think
and so forth is natural and well. I respond how I feel, see,
think and such. But buying into defensive reactionary beliefs in
the name of being offended is just plain unconscious projection.
Say what you see, but don't believe it. All that I write and
speak to you, I do not believe. I calls 'em as I sees 'em. I'm
glad you do too. Beliefs, those complex projections of the mind,
are the blasphemy. Speak out, but forever unhold your pieces.
Peace be what you are, as well as freedom and delight.
The mind is judgment boxes ad nauseaum, all the noose that's fit
to imprint.... Tighter is supposedly security and surety. Ya,
right......... while ignoring what's left. Be aware of the
unconscious and projections. These are the last days of the Sun
being in Capricorn. It goes into Aquarius on the 19th at 6:22 pm
EST. More on that dear Sign next week. Mercury and Venus are
cruising in Capricorn so the theme of judgment and control goes
on.
Notice how Mr. Ridged is leaving Homeland Security perchance to
be replaced by Mr. Jerkoff. Right makes might. It's the shower of
power hour, praise the lords. Fascism deepens in the US. Bush has
created social insecurity out of Social Security by his grotesque
fiscal decisions. Now he is selling a great plan that will
supposedly secure future financial benefits for our young
citizens. The only thing this reform is about is the most obvious
effort to mandate driving trillions of citizen's dollars into the
securities markets to prop up the shaky state of the paper
hanging corporate titans' stock markets. This could be the rudest
assault yet. Watch the public get flimsy shares of the stocks
that will dry up and blow away first in the Crunch, while the fat
cats retain the preferred stocks that get the skim off the top
when things go sour. First Social Security money will be
laundered into their pockets and then they'll cash out by
stripping the employees' pension fund after downsizing their
paychecks for years. Greatest country in the world, right? It's
just a country. So what? Be aware of the robber barons material
and spiritual.
I watched the Frontline show about Osama bin Laden. Curious
karmic parallels. His father was a fabulous rags to riches story
as he created immense wealth through his construction business.
He refurbished all the holiest mosques in Islam in Saudi Arabia.
Osama's father died in a helicopter crash when Osama was ten. Now
his son, Osama, wants to tear down the Saudi princes all around
the sacred sites; he wants to jettison the infidels from his
father's handiwork, his natal father and his god the father.
George W. Bush is likewise wanting to tear down the moderates and
liberals of his father's coalition. The infidels will be
banished. His father in many guises, in various semi direct to
indirect ways, funneled money and power and encouragement to
Osama, his al Qaeda and the Taliban. Now W goes to tear them
down. He quotedly spoke of doing his Father's work beyond his
father's work. Have we got some ridiculously dense, crazy-making
projections in the collective as the Piscean Age makes its last
gasps, or what? Don't stay tuned. Be present.
Something is going to happen in the financial markets this week
that is a foreshadowing of what is to come. I expect some extreme
smoke blowing and shining of the mirrors. There is deep covering
up. I don't know that we will see it per se. It may be felt and
only seen in some retrospect. The greed of the West, of
Capitalism, of so-called free markets is hitting impenetrable
snags. The old ways are faltering. Not even finally that they are
wrong but that they are dissolving. The new Aquarian forms are
still nascent and it all feels perilous. You are fine. Don't buy
the fear. Don't buy the sizzle. Let buy gones be bygone. Be
financially liquid. Be emotionally and ideationally liquid if you
will. Be present. There's no other way around it that wouldn't be
a shift load of dramatic suffering.
As to the relationship stuff..... This is a perennial hot bed of
denial and drama. It's coming to light big time this week. Don't
be still. Express. Don't be permanently mad. Listen, to them and
you. Soooooooooooooo much can clear now. Claim your own
consciousness and clear your own karma. The projections of
intimate relationship are amongst the thickest and most
persistent of them all. They are not set in stone nor are you.
Ya, maybe you've been a stoner high on the love thang. Haven't we
all? What goes up does come down. Don't put it back off. Let it
burn off. Be with the one you are with as the stories of love
with the one you are with go their merry way. Love keeps you
apart in projections. Enjoy being together. It is fun. If your
week has loveitis, gargle; take two assburns and let 'em go, get
plenty of unrest and see that that's some old shit that can be
cleared. Hire me for a session about your relationship with or
without your significant other. Come to my seminar on Karma and
Relationship. This mating stuff is not hopeless but it is if you
are being hopeful over the top of your being. Be. Be with the
ones you love. Be with them as they are being with you. It'll be
lovely in due time. Easy undoes it.
Thanks for being with me,
Mark
