Mourning Glories
Saturn enters Leo at 8:34 am EDT on the 16th. (It had been in Cancer
since 6/4/03; it will exit Leo on 9/2/07.) The collective background
orientation changes on the 16th. We enter a field of focus around what
gets called the heart, emotions, truth, power and money, children and
childhood and more. All the broken heartedness you have ever known will
arise. Let it. Upwellings of complex emotion will wash through the body
and personality. Let them. The endless battles of truth and lies will
scream forward in public and personal ways. Let them. Great unconscious
projections within the stories of power and money will be revealed. Let
them. The plight and might of children and the silly and savaged facets
of your childhood, all will come into light. Let be. Be. Let be.
The extreme cooking of very old files of drama has begun. The
distractions of the equally ancient reactions and supposed solutions of
Truth and Love and God will be cartoonishly illustrated. Truth will not
set you free. You are already free. Love is not who you are nor will it
finally relieve yours or their suffering. You are not suffering itself.
Your experience of it is the Game. If it is no longer playful for you,
claim your own consciousness and clear your own consciousness. God will
not complete you in the dance of Separation and Unity. You are not the
Grand Splits nor the Grand Unity which is the splits with glue on top.
God is a primary story in the Dream. You are not in the Dream, though
God is. This is a time of realizing your choice, your being, the
delight and peace of your own being. All the rest is drama, dharma,
karma on a Wheel which never ends but projects the Game of getting to
the end while justifying the mean.
You have a choice.
So harken drama kings and queens. This is your era. Rise up and have
fun with it all. Let go of believing in the stories. Share and express,
laugh and cry, curse and tremble but let go. You cannot fix what was
never broken. There is nothing to be saved. To quote a Tom Waits song I
heard the other day: "Why don't you come down from the cross? We could
use the wood."
Play helps to dissolve the Dilemma. I don't mean USA recreation, what
you do on the weekend stuff. Play is being your self and making
choices. Play includes the fields of difficulty and challenge and pain.
To realize the mind and to make real all the drama is to be lost to the
wicked wacky weird waves of weasely wiggles of it all. The tremors of
terror are mounting soon amis. Wave your ass goodbye. You will have
trouble finding it, so let it go. Let go of chasing your tail on the
Wheel, your tale in the Drama. The so-called problems of life and the
world are best met by being present, not by chasing the projections of
getting the bad to turn into Good(God).
The Light at the end of the tunnel is the endless looping Train of
Thought. Chase or be chaste? Who cares? Neither works. Give up the
Work, the Truth, the Love, the Path and you give up the grinding on the
Wheel. The squeaky Wheel gets the Grace, but then what? You can prey on
high or on others. but then what? Who eats who? Give up being right.
Be. And then watch all the noise and Gotterdammerung, the doom of
whatever considers itself Gods, the war of the whirleds, the end of an
Age, watch all of it melt into the vanity of itself.
Please see that what coming down is not a big deal but that it is a Big
Deal burning off. Remember that karma is simply all the past files of
stories and that they do want to be your present and future. Now the
excrescences of ancient plagues and pestilences, storms und drangs,
wars and wrongs will break the surface of conscious awareness. Laugh
and let go. Let the old mold unfold and fall away. Fight and flight
(materially or spiritually) will not save the day. It will save the
daze. Be. Unfazed, but at times awash in feelings in the phases and
phesters, you will see your way through and see that you are fine. Then
the world will match your being rather than your old and unconscious
stories.
This week is very complex and fascinating. Face it and unfacet. Shift
and get off the plod. The Full Moon on the 21st at 7:00 am EDT brings a
trailing edge wave of life and death drama. All manner of hero stories
will arise. (I refer again to the Tom Waits' quote above.) The more
choiceful you are, the more those around you will be so. It's fun,
despite the suffering burning off. You are the fun. "They" can be too.
All sorts of Light/Dark fights are flying about. The power brokers and
agencies want to fodder you. Spit them out before they chews you for
their mission. If you are going after the Great Destiny, heaven will
help you and you'll have more than enough adventures for the hell of
it. These bond fires of the sacred vanities will burn brightly. Where
do they/you think they and It are really going? Round and round the
Wheel doth go and It is just around the bend. You have a choice in the
Game. Compulsion is the running ahead of the bulls of revulsion.
There's ample trample to be seen. In this case the lemmings will find
that there is no cliff. Then what? The plot of goals at the end of the
rainbow is a tired trek. Come home to your self.
Unfasten your seed belt,
Mark
