Put Up Your Feats and Rest In Your Self

Happy Holidays to you. May the holy daze clear for you. May you be yourself, enjoy yourself and enjoy those that you are with. Christmas Day looks just fine, no big deal. The difficulty is the ongoing hangover of the dredging of the psyche in the Grand Crossroads. Family affairs can suffer accordingly. Just be present with whatever shows up and be choiceful. Karma happens, but you be fine.

Venus goes retrograde on the 24th at 4:36 am EST. She goes direct on Feb. 3, 2006. Retreat will be in the air. Going inside is the ancient strategy in the face of the suffering of the outer world. For you, has it been more nightmarish in the outer world or inside yourself? Probably both are true and one's karmic patterns illustrate one's favorite strategies. When one goes inside one's self one actually leaves the body and goes out to other dimensions. It's just change and in the long run changing seats on the Titanic doesn't solve that ancient sinking feeling. Blub blub blub. Changing your state never clears your karma. It just adds more layers. That has never stopped folks from endlessly doing it. It's the only Game in town but it is not who you are and you are not in it the way you think and the way it thinks you. You have a choice to realize your own being or too endlessly seek yourself in the house of mirrors. The vanities of Creation get you everywhere but to yourself. You can directly claim your own self, your own being and end the dilemma for you. All the rest is restlessness.

There is great fidgety, irritation running underneath in the psyche. It will be lessening somewhat this week, though the hangovers/trailing edges of the Cross put a huge variable in this trend. Lots of people will be dying in the week ahead or they will have those kinds of issues in their face. Numbness and inertness will be rampant. Overwhelm abounds. Death is a most popular change of state mechanism. Drama incarnate and disincarnate. Consider being through all of it. Ends and beginnings are very distractive. Choice often goes out the window when things end or die. Don't let the karmic wheel get you in a pinch. You can choose even when it seems like you have no choice. Choice unto itself will not set you free. Choice is simply the exercise of your inherent freedom in the Dream. Unfortuneately choosing in the Dream always is suffering. This is the cosmic joke and this is when it is helpful to laugh like a kookaburra. Weep and gnash teeth all you want but do remember to laugh, chortle and guffaw in whatever silly symphony of giggles you choose. It's just that goofy these days. Make it real and heavy and it's more bad noose.

Loneliness is the hallmark of Capricorn. Hiding, denying or loving over it finally doesn't work. How many relationships or Christmases or such have you had in which you felt oh so lonely despite the trappings of good cheer? Wring out the old year. Cut loose all the old strategies that have failed you endlessly. You are not bad. You have not been doing anything wrong. You are not dumb, though at times we're all a bit deaf and blind. You are your own consciousness. All the rest is the loops of goops in the cycles of Creation. Mind over matter won't fix the suffering. Mind in matter won't fix suffering. Being mindless or mindful won't work either. Claim your own consciousness and clear your own identification in the infinitude of projections. It is simply your choice. All the rest is complexes of ever greater entanglements.

Be with yourself this time of year. Get some moments to rest and recuperate. Consistently intend for yourself in the year ahead. Let go of getting into everybody's business. Be aware of the unconscious projections and reactivity of the mind. It's not you but is quite infectious. Here's to your clear being! You have done well in the last year. I appreciate your listening to me deeply, your listening to yourself. Let go and let be.

Best wishes,
Mark
