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
