Mirrorcles
Ahoy, land lubbers. How ya be swimmin' in Pisces land? Getting the
drift yet? Likely you've been feeling various degrees of depression in
different areas of your life. Things just haven't been flowing. People
tend to disappear or not show up these days; or they're just asleep at
the wheel. Mercury retrograde adds to the disjointedness. On the 25th
at 5:33 pm PST, Mars enters Aquarius. We'll then have no planets in
Earth Signs, except for the Moon once per week, until March 17 when the
luck of the Irish returns. So these are spacy days and more so with no
planets in Earth Signs for some weeks. Thus you are likely to feel
adrift, ungrounded and incapable of getting any traction in your life.
Meanwhile the heaviness and annoyance of the body looms and dooms
noticeably. The Equinox will help with getting things flowing, but
that's several weeks away.
Consider some vacation time. Cleaning out the old cobwebs (not to
mention your karma!) is useful these days. Sorting out feeling out of
sorts is helpful. Just don't re-embed by flinging to the other side of
the polarity. That doesn't work and really, really doesn't work in
these days of instant karma on the rapidly spinning Wheel. Do what you
want to do. That's your nature, but your nature was buried alive long
ago. Doing something to be somebody just continues the charade. Don't
improve. Be and choose. That's your nature and your nature is playful
without effort. Claim your own being and clear your own karma.
Have a session with moi. Good time for that in the flux that sux. My
work with clients is very catalytic and will help you burn off the
sludge so that you can be the you that you've always been instead of
chasing some dream that is supposed to come true and make you happy and
holy. It's also a lovely time to spa, to get in water, to go weightless
and maybe party a bit too. Americans of the New Age variety tend to be
wrapped so tight with all manner of correctnesses. Fuck that shit!
Doing good to do good so that you and they will be good just flat out
does not work. If you want to ground in being ground, go ahead, but
you're just chasing the other side of the (r)evolving door.
Enjoy yourself and drop all the embedded rules and regs of dogmas that
have kept you catatonic. What does good have to do with anything
anyway? You are not an original sinner bad turd that must reclaim your
golden goodness. Shit can that stuff while you can. With each marching
year, it will be more difficult for you to find your ass in the morass.
The mad dramas will obscure you before you know it. I don't think you
really want to live in an Hieronymus Bosch painting for the rest of
your life, but that precipice is where folks be hangin' these days.
Armageddon is full on and the echoes of the hoofbeats of the Horsemen
are sounding louder. If you make it real, it'll really hurt for you and
all around you. If you realize you're own being, you'll be present and
choiceful with what appears in your life and you'll play your way
through it. I reckon that you'll find that much more fun and much less
scary.
Saturn opposes Neptune on the 28th at 4:01 am PST. The tension seems to
be reality vs. dream; or the hope is in getting your dream to come true
in the world of hard knocks. We love these stories of rags to riches
and riches to rags. There's the possibility of imagination and then
there's dreaded reality. Everything seems so amorphous these days while
at the same time everything seems so stuck. The old software Piscean is
null and void as we come up to speed on the new and improved promise of
the Aquarian software. I am saying that you are not in the Dream of
matter becoming energy/spirit and vice versa, like you think. This is a
wonderful time to see that you no longer have to struggle to get your
dreams to come true. You can just go ahead and do what you want to do
and with less obstacles than you can imagine. However, the software
wants you to struggle for meaning or hope or what have you, to fight
and win. Just do what you want to do and drop all the dramas of
projection. It's just another day on the Wheel. Why enchant for the
better day which is simply leftovers warmed up again = karma? You can
enjoy yourself in the mad matrix of it all. You can realize your own
being while the change machine frolics and fractals, fritters and
frets.
If you live for drama, no worries matey; you'll have a cornucopia of
all That and More! I suggest that you don't live for drama. The
software, the mind stuff of all of Creation, lives on drama. Creation
just creates more drama that goes in circles. If that makes your boat
float, then tally ho. If you think you can finally get the Game right,
march on. If you think you can be a Somebody someday and that'll make
the bad go away and the Good to be real, then heaven and hell are
cycling for your very Desire. If not, if you are tired of all That,
claim your own consciousness and clear your own karmic cocoon.
I had a new client this week who found her way to what I offer when she
googled on some phrase about being tired of being frozen inside
herself. in2light popped up in the googling. She heard what I had to
say to her. It's what I say to all of you all the time. You are your
own being, your own consciousness. If you claim that consistently and
persistently, the Dream melts away from you and you enjoy yourself
without effort and struggle. The Drama is optional for you. The delight
of your being is just a choice away. No magic or bullshit, just direct
choice.
Now for something completely different.......
Every couple of years I Google on my name, astrology and in2light.com
to see how the search engines are doing with it all. Mark Krueger is a
common name, so when I search on that, tens of thousands of hits come
up that are not me. I like checking them out for the sake of seeing the
parallel universeness of it all and to see how un-unique we are in the
house of mirrors. Here's a weird grab bag of Mark Kruegers on the web:
Here's the French Mark Krueger; my genetics are perhaps part French,
though mostly German. http://markkrueger.free.fr/En/bio.html
One MK says this: "We're seeing a lot more interest in the darker tones
in general," says Mark Krueger, ... of Plato Woodwork Inc., ...
There's kruegerforjustice.com, a MK ran for Justice of the Peace in
Carson City, NV.
Milwaukee, WI has had an accomplished heavy metal DJ name of Mark
Krueger for years. I was a DJ twice at university radio stations.
An off road racing driver MK is on the Pro-Lite team. A very
accomplished professional social worker MK gets this written about him:
"ANYTHING BY MARK KRUEGER. Whether writing from the perspective of the
system, the program, the youthworker or the youth, Mark Krueger gives
us a sensitive insightful vision of how things are and how things could
be." Same professional MK, this time a talk at some symposium: Mark
Krueger - Presence as Dance in Work With Youth. Another MK wrote a
critique of a paper by Princeton's James R Beniger, "Using the
Principle of Least Interest to Derive a Dominance Hierarchy from
Interaction or Exchange Data." That just strikes me silly in the way
only academia can do.
Some kind of engineer MK worked on the video game: Cadillacs &
Dinosaurs: The Second Cataclysm
One of my faves is an MK who testified at the OJ Simpson criminal and
civil trials: "prosecutor Marcia Clark introduced a witness who may
help explain why those bloody gloves seemed small when Simpson tried
them on in court. According to witness Mark Krueger, a man who took
photographs of Simpson wearing similar gloves, the gloves looked small
to begin with."
Out of St. Louis University, an MK academic writes: Mark Krueger - “The
Influence of the 1960’s Counter-Cultural Values of Individualism,
Anti-Materialism, and Community on a Contemporary Intentional
Community.” I lived that shit.
I'm quoted on a site called Meaningful Quotes: *Make choices, not
judgements.* Mark Krueger. I still agree with that.
An education site has: Recommended Books for Parents - On Being Gifted
by Mark Krueger aaahhh... the fragrance of the ego....
Years back I clicked on one that took me to a genealogy site. There was
an MK whose grandfather was my oldest, bestest friend's name, an
unusual name at that. I googled his name and up came a parallelism of
this unusual name living in Canada that was a doctor like my same named
friend. I reckon all these odd echoes are like degrees of separation
and such. They're just artifacts of the Dream.
My all time favorite is a link to the site of an artist. I clicked on
it and what unfurled was a painting of a Mark Krueger, son of Robert
Krueger. My dad's name was Robert Krueger. I emailed the artist who was
an immigrant from Siberia who could barely type English. Turned out the
portrait was of a dead man, so I didn't pursue that Mark Krueger. He
was a MK with a dad named Robert like me and they lived in Chicago at
the same time that I was growing up in Chicago. As a side note, I once
gave a reading to a man in Cape Town, South Africa who had the exact
head of my father. Very surreal. Also, a friend's father in Australia
looks precisely like my deceased friend and webmaster Pat; but he
didn't just look like her; his mannerisms, voice and the way he
expressed himself were identical.
When I was young, I realized that there are only so many kinds of
faces. I would see people and realized that they look like someone else
in my memory. I'm always curious about these mirroring things,
mirrorcles, for the obvious vanity and narcissism of it; but finally,
it just illustrates what a strange trip it all is, even without quantum
mechanics. So enjoy your own mirrocles, the wonderments of it all.
While you wonder what the hell you're doing here, you can enjoy the
wonders along the way. You are the wonder. Claim your own being and
enjoy your wonderful self.
Giggles in the wind,
Mark
