Braise the Lords and Pass Beyond Their Admonitions
Happy Earth Day to you. Happy Earth signs to you too. I trust that you
are a bit more grounded and that you are able to make more decisions
while you are getting on with things. Full Moon happens with Passover
on the 24th at 6:06 am EDT. The feel good vs. feel bad polarity is up
along with the juicy subtext of who is making whom feel whatever. The
cause and effect of karma and the mind are so popular. Blame/praise and
shame/pride weave through the warps and woofings of the Dream. Who's
fault is it anyway? Ever consider that it is simply the defaults of the
system of Creation itself? There is a Yod for the next ten days (which
will be followed by a different one) that consists of a sextile between
Uranus in Pisces and the Sun and then Venus in Taurus with retrograde
Jupiter in Libra at their opposite midpoint.
Relationships are under considerable pressure. Much of it has to do
with this feel good/feel bad thang as it is projected onto others. When
you get right down to it, no one makes you feel any particular way.
They do things or don't do things and then you feel. However.........
it usually plays out with more drama and suffering. So take a look at
these projections in your relationships. (Shameless plug: I offer a
wonderful Karma and Relationship seminar; check it out.) There is lots
of depression surfacing in people's psyches ongoingly. Remember that it
is not just the depression wherein you pull the sheets over your head.
This depression includes the manic end, of which America is so
representative thereof. It is not easy to do things right now because
one can feel the outcomes don't necessarily support the efforts. Back
to relationship itself, wanting somebody to do things for you is pretty
well threaded through existence but what is occurring now is the
awareness of the expectations projected in those wantings. Disappoint
can be pervasive. The grass is always greener on the other side of the
change, or, in the current mindscape, nothing is green at all except
weeds and too distant wild flowers.
Speak your pieces or forever hold off your peace. Don't let catatonic
get your tongue. You likely feel tender right now and unsatisfied with
yourself and others. You are fine; they are fine. But a bunch of stuff
that feels unfine is up. Speak of it and let it go in recognition that
you aren't going to actually control you or them in any way that gets
rid of suffering. Suffering is not who you or they are. It is the stuff
of Creation. Just let your self come unstuffed. I understand that you
may simultaneously feel as thought the stuffing is knocked out of you,
that you may be so empty without your suffering. You'll get beyond that
if you intentionally let go.
Shy feelings are prevalent. The fear that no one will listen is at the
base of shyness, not just fear itself. If you don't listen to yourself
first, others will not correspond. A great deal of supposed
conversation consists of folks talking unconsciously to their selves
while others are in proximity. As well, the mind itself is talking to
itself while you identify that you are that ad nauseaum conversation
that has nothing to do with you. You may be especially noticing this
these days. Silence external or internal only makes such noise go away
for awhile, then you have to do the cause again to get the effect.
Continue looping if you choose, but if you claim your own consciousness
directly, that noise falls away from you. You won't miss it.
We have a new Pope, Papum, Pontiff, Papa. I drew up his birth chart and
pontification chart. He certainly looks like an extension of PJII.
After all he has essentially been the Vice Pope for years now. But he
quite looks like an astrologic furtherance of PJII. Will this Benedict
arnold? If he lives long enough, he may change his stripe. Joseph
Ratzinger is no ordinary Joe. (His dad's name is Joseph; mom's name is
Mary; he was born on Black Saturday). As defender of the faith, he has
been a relentless zinger of the rats in the Church. No liberal or
revolutionary stuff for this junkyard dogmaniac. Once again we see the
confirmation of conservative fundamentalism. (I wonder where the UK
election will go next month.) The old, tired, white, defender of the
right, Northern European model carries on. Why exactly does this get
bought by a billion plus followers? When you consider that the large
majority of the Church is in third world colonial countries, it makes
sense. How long will they continue to buy it? It will be interesting to
see how it plays out. The oppressed are getting tired, even with those
that are deemed their saviors and shepherds. They are going to get
flocking mad one of these years and will no longer act sheepishly.
PBXVI was, under duress, in the Hitler Youth and the Nazi Germany army.
Interesting karma. He was in the belly of the beast and arose from it.
Could there be any beast left in his karmic belly? Since the Romans are
the namesake of fascism, is the Roman Catholic Church unlike fascism
itself. Like Bush's friendly fascism, the Church may carry more than a
little demagoguery with a spiritually benign appearance. For instance:
the Church's stance that condom use is very sinful while fairly
ignoring AIDS as some kind of heathen's doom. Women don't fare too well
in a number of respects either. And that uncontrolled birth boom for
the unwashed seems to play more into the sacred hands of the Holy
Fathers than is it comfort for the impoverished. Much, much more will
be revealed.
I must say that Pope Benedict XVI looks like a gay man in suppression
of his homosexual orientation, but that would be like saying: Is the
Pope Catholic? Oops. The powerful oppress what they deny and project.
He carries the feminine somewhat Like John Paul II but likewise, that
too is suppressed. Men will be men and women aren't; tough. Oh Papa.
Let it go. This patriarchal crap is sooooo old. Just let the folks be.
How about cutting loose the red and gold and jewel encrusted tape and
meet people where they truly live rather than deeming them sinners in
need of your saviorship? If only GBII would also cut loose the Heir
Forced One and fly from his anointed boy howdy duties. But alas this is
the stuff of the end of the Piscean Age. The Good Old Boy Network is
going for the gold right in front of what every body knows. Put it
under people's knows and they can only smell what the thought police
have spooned into their brain pan. The Heaven's will reign holy hell
for some years to come. That is not the result of sin. That is the
result of the reeking shadow of the righteous. Braise the Lords and
pass beyond their admonitions.
PBXVI is as bright as they come and apparently is a lovely man in
person, but he comes out of a matrix of thought that stinks to heaven
and that is the hell that gets propagated. Check out your own matrices
of beliefs. More violence and ignorance have occurred under belief
systems than just about anything else. Be and drop the beliefs and all
their convoluted, constituted branches that seek to root out wrong and
beget ashes to asses and dust to crust. Waves and waves of fear are
mounting in psyche. Dearth vedas of the dark side of enlightment are
using the force, Luke. The wars of the stars come to Earth. If you
gotta get saved, you are already lost. It's not permanent. Choose your
way out the wet papal bags of whatever thoughts hold you in suffocation
of your being. You are freedom, delight and peace. Pursue it outside or
inside of your self and suffering never ends while telling you that
suffering is good for you for some higher purpose of some promised land
of proper persons of pure perfection that perhaps, if you are
practically proper, and mind all these P's and cue all the way to
heaven's rest. It's pappycrock. Claim your own consciousness and clear
your own karma. The rest is getting real Gamey fast.
Be, that is not the question nor is it the solution, it is who you are.
Playfully,
Mark
