Crossing the Great Water
How are you? The psychic pstorm psurge has moved through allowing the
surface to quiet a tad. The Big Uneasy is becoming the Big Diseasey.
Most of the emotional shock of the horrors and traps of recent and
collective trauma doesn't get processed or cleared. That results in all
thosat feelings somatisizing into the body. There are the germs of the
microbe variety, but more significantly, there are the germs of
thoughts and emotions and syndromes. This latent load is ready to
snowball. I suspect a rough winter around the planet in terms of
illness. Take care of yourself. Nourish, rest, be gentle.
This is the week that the Grand Cross in the Fixed Signs begins. The
Moon is in Scorpio from the 7th to the 9th, filling in the fourth point
of the Cross. At 12:14 pm EDT on the 9/11, Venus enters Scorpio. We'll
have a planet in that sign until mid February of next year. All of the
other Fixed Signs hold throughout the entire six months:
Neptune-Aquarius, Saturn-Leo, Mars-Taurus. Venus, then Mercury and then
Jupiter will be, in turn, in Scorpio over that half of a year. There's
a sixteen hour blip 10/7-8 when Mercury tag teams Venus switching from
Scorpio into Sagittarius.
This Grand Cross in the Fixed Signs formation is quite unusual and very
intense. It will burn your karma like mad. If you make that process
bad, you'll burn longer and with foggier results and finally just layer
on more karma. Letting go is the key. Let go of everything. Let go of
your identification in Creation, the mind, karma and all of your
stories. Claim your own consciousness and clear your karma directly. If
you do, it will all be so much simpler and easier. If you don't, you'll
be ground in pulp friction of great dramas with intensity, at times,
like what we witness in the New Orleans horror. All manner of double
bind stories will be arising in people. They will go into extreme and
relentless reaction. You will begin to see folks shell shocked, and I
don't mean just the folks of the Gulf Coast. You will see it in the
ones you love, your work situations, your neighborhoods and all those
voices in your head. Numb and number. All the while as this shock state
pervades, big dramas will be playing out along with grotesque grinding
in the psyche. I say all of this to you not to gloom you with doom but
to aware you with the recognition of what is playing out in the End
Times dreamscape. Make neither fear nor love nor Light nor darkness
real.
Be.
This is an extraordinarily creative time. So much can be brought into
form, articulated and seen. If the crud don't git ya, you can cut
through so much crap and upon that compost, raise fertile produce of
all manner. Love is really in the air too. Don't buy into the
projections. Enjoy yourself with others who are enjoying their selves.
Whatever else is going under the bridge is just life. If you buy the
projections of who's going to make whom happy and yada yada yada,
you'll both be in Sink. Tuned but dissonant. Tenderness and mercy for
yourself and others will go a looonnnnggggg way in the years ahead.
Humor is priceless and precious. Your clear intentions are essential.
If you are letting your karma and the mind and your unconscious
manifest your life for you, whoa/woe nelly......
I'm now out on tour: Omaha, NE; Estes Park, CO; Aspen, CO; Los Angeles,
CA; Sedona, CA; Nevada City, CA and parts unknown. I'll be speaking and
consulting. What I have to say is: Choose. Intend for yourself
directly. Cut out the muddlemen, the projections, the loopiness. These
are grave and gritty years ahead. Not bad, unless....... hear me now,
unless you are trying to make it good. The polarizations of yea and
nay, heaven and earth, knights and daze and all the blessed mess are
going to reek of havoc. Great hopes will be propped and defended to the
detriment of so many. Happiness will be an old luxury, spent and torn.
But the delight and peace and freedom of your being is who you are.
Claim it and let the game of happy/unhappy fall away without the denial
of transcendence and it's thin veneer of dumb bliss. Tough times come
and go. Your being is, eternal, beyond the Dream.
Hope to see you in the days ahead,
Mark
