What Isn't You Falls Away
Is it your lucky day? Don't buy the Friday the 13th bit. It's more likely
to be lucky than not. So have fun and walk under whatever you choose while
the cats and mirrors are doing whatever they choose to do.
The Sun and Venus conjunct on the 13th at 3:58 pm PST. Have you hugged
yourself today? You are really cool. Take your self out on a date. Embrace
just how wonderful you are and who knows...... maybe you'll get
lucky....... wink, wink. Full Moon in Capricorn/Cancer occurs on the 14th
at 1:48 am PST. Don't get buried in that internalized judgment shit! You
are fine. You are! Mars opposes Jupiter on the 15th at 1:28 am PST. This
is a culmination of the Grand Cross this weekend. Mars, Jupiter and
Neptune are all within one degree or are spot on with three of the exact
power points of the Zodiac. Yeeeee haaaaaa! Go get 'em tigers.
Mars squares Neptune on the 18th at 5:54 am PST. This rounds out the Grand
Cross which leads us to the next stage: Sun enters Aquarius on the 19th at
9:16 pm PST. Now the Sun will be in another corner of the Cross for a
month. Shocking events will be prevalent. Next week the Sun will oppose
Saturn. Lots of death, big bunches coming up, this year in general and in
the weeks ahead. The portal for leaving this world is very greased/graced
for the next month. It's an easier time to leave than usual. Let 'em go.
If it's you, let yourself go.
Remember that death does nothing to actually resolve suffering. It is a
change of costume. Be with whomever before, during and after death as you
so choose. Likewise let whomever may be dying have the space that they
choose for their own exit strategy. We now can be much more conscious of
how we go about dying. The medical system often interupts this process,
just like the ways they muddle birth. But be clear with the process as
best you can. We don't prepare for death much in the US culture because
it's that dirty body thing that only rubber encased professionals should
touch. Let your fears shed around the dread with all of this. Be with the
life you have or haven't had with the dying person. Meet them now wherever
they may be. Be with your ancestors if you choose. Say hi to them and let
them go. You can't be with anybody if you don't let them go! Cling not
lest thou be clung unto for the Klingons clang amongst their colonies of
clones beseeching - Long Live the Cling. So to hell with cling. Be baby be
and be with the ones you love.
Pain is often a big part of the dying occasion and it gets a lot of the
attention in the psyche. Pain sucks. If you have or have had much pain,
you know. It'll suck the attention right out of you. Be clear with your
own body that you mean it no pain and that you don't want it to present a
bunch of pain to you. Then carry on. As to your loved ones with
pain........ it is their business like it or not. Our bodies are ours to
choose but the conditioning has been so greatly the opposite. Pain is
usually given to us by God or others or unknown factors, so it appears to
be a thing that happens to us. Inflicition is very popular as a drama
gambit in the Game. I can feel inflicted about practically everything that
exists. I often complain out loud to those who love me. Not about them but
about the general inflictions in the day to daze business of Creation. I
highly recommend conscious complaining. You can take it too far and
continue to believe in it all, but in the fine art of complaining, you can
let it rip like an old fashion fart. To air is human; to hold it in is
Divine. Consider letting go of swinging from Divine.
Here in Australia they have a term for complaint: whinge. Whinging is a
fine art. So whinge on ya bloody bastards. This is all meant in the
fullness of humor. If you aren't complaining, you aren't paying attention.
If you aren't laughing at your complaining, you are making it allllllll
too real. If you have a genuine concern with someone, say so directly. But
in general, whinge away. Play with all the silly sufferings of mundane
existence. It'll leave you with much more room to be present with any big
and real appearing suffering as it comes along. Chuckle so you don't
buckle. Whinge before you singe. Holler if you're hot under the collar.
Let them steam off. Be with what is as it is. Things aren't as bad as they
appear and you don't need to get good. You are just fine, despite
appearances and all the lot. Shift and get off the plot, the drama and the
drudge.
What isn't you falls away,
Mark
