Frog's Legs
How's your Mercury retrograde going? Doesn't seem too gnarly so far
this round. There's mucho flow with planets in four or five points of a
Fire/Air Grand Hexagon throughout the week. Mars squares Saturn on the
31st at 9:57 am EDT. Battles Royale are forming. Major turf wars in
one's psyche and in the world arise noticeably. Remember with all of
this, all of it, it all goes on all the time. What I illustrate to you
each week is what is coming to the forefront, what is coming up from
the unconscious into light. Clear your identification in all of it.
New Moon in Leo on the 4th at 11:05 pm EDT. Mercury is retrograding in
with them and the whole lot is opposed to Neptune in Aquarius. This is
potent. The usual stuff is all about the Heart and Love and Light and
so on. However, what gets ignored generally in this view is the shadow,
the polar opposite, the unconsciousness in those royal, glorified
notions. As the karmic wheel spins faster and faster because of
desperate gerbiling after the projections of the so called
good/positive/divine ends of polarizations, the shadow comes up grander
and more horrified. Do you see?
This is the key to the next twenty years. If you want to push out an
Ideal and go chase after it, the devil be on your tail! The Shadow gets
thee behind you when you go for the Light, but it will be directly and
roundly connected to your ass. Give up the seeking. Give up the Light.
Don't give up on yourself, silly. Let go of the projections. Let go of
your identification in all that higher business. It's fool's goaled. Be
chaste and be chased. Climb high and be slammed low. It'll stink to
high heaven. The good and the God and the glory and the power and the
LOVE all are riddled with their opposites which are duly ignored and
thereby duly acted out. Oh is there going to be a whole lot of acting
out!!!!
These are very clear but very amorphous days. It's hard to get
traction. You are perceiving the split between the etheric/energetic
and the incarnate/material. The laminations are coming loose. (Reminds
me of Schwarzenegger's Austrian-soaked line in a Conan the Barbarian
movie about the "cries and lamentations [laminations] of the women".)
The Rapture and New Age notions around 2012 and such all suggest that a
parallel system is occurring. The Glorious Higher and the Forlorn
Lower. What I find silly is that there are infinite laminations,
layers, dimensions. Oh how the spiritual agenda can make the obvious
mole hill into the sacred mountain. The Rapture will actually behave
like a Rupture. The End of the Mayan Calendar looks more like the End
of the Zion Colander. It's all leaking and a bit smelly too. It's ripe
Piscean Age Cheese. What would cheeses do?????
If you are tired of being in the same old mold, be aware of inoculating
a new Wheel for yourself. You'll have to grin and camembert it, hoping
it'll be gouda. Soon the muensters will follow.... It will all look
like a painting of Elvis on Velveeta. Only you can cut the cheese,
whether you are an old fart or a new brie. Pass aghast at the
opportunity to create the Promised Land in the microcosm or macrocosm
or galactocosm. It's all projections with ultimately the same result
every time. Rebirth is death warmed over.
Claim your own consciousness and clear your own karma and clear your
own identification in the Dream. I can share with you how to do that.
It's my specialty. Not a big deal but very effective, simple and
essentially effortless. It is intentionful. Go for it or forever hold
your pieces. The Heat and Drama are upon us. The beaker of cool water
has been warmed slowly for some time on the little frog and she doesn't
quite perceive it, but........ if you're smelling frog legs for
dinner......... be done or you will be done unto. You can be done with
the Game.
Ribbing it,
Mark
