Change happens. This week is full of it.... perhaps in more ways than one. Venus enters Taurus on St. Patty's the 17th at 3:01 pm PDT. New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs on the 18th at 7:43 pm PDT in late Pisces square to Pluto in late Sagittarius. Also on the 18th, Mercury enters Pisces at 2:35 am. Equinox occurs when the Sun enters Aries at 5:08 pm PDT on the 20th. Mars opposes Saturn on the 22nd at 12:33 pm PDT. The shift is really hitting the fantastic.

Notice how you can't keep up with it all? It's been that way for some time, but now it's unavoidable. Some stuff you'll just have to shed cuz you'll never get there or that or whatever. There's grief in this. Shed tears too if you like. With the archetype of The End in full process, all manner of things will be ending. On the Wheel there never is any actual end/beginning. But the Alpha dogs come out at Omega time with the Hopes, the New, the Future. I suggest that you be conscious with the cooking off of the old so that you're not whip snapped into the new with a deeper trance than what you're already suffering in.

There's always the appearance of the New, the Shiny, The Way in the Dream. It's like spraying Glade in the outhouse. You believe and are sold the notion that everything is fresh. What's really going in is just added stink on top of stink. To paraphrase Apocalypse Now: I love the smell of Creation in the morning...... It all burns; it all revivifies. So what? Face the grind so that you don't have to believe and enchant it anymore. You can be your self while the Dream spins. If you believe and enchant the Dream, nightmares will gallop from here on. (Ever notice how that Chertoff guy, the head of Homeland Insecurity, the fellow that headed the holocaust of Katrina, ever notice how his head looks exactly like a skeleton head? I figure he's one of the four horseman of the Apocalypse.)

America is the poster child of New. New World..... New World Order. New world disorder is more like it. W functions as the great Disorderer at the time of the ReOrdering. He shuffles as the house of cards tumbles. Speaking of which, very soon there'll be one million home mortgages in default in the USA and growing. Nations are dumping the US dollar as the currency of their transactions, most notably oil. Debt do us part after partaking in debt and distraction for so long. We live in an economy built on projections called credit. The karma of those projections are backing up on us personally and collectively. Money doesn't just talk; it howls.

As we turn another leaf in the Sacred Rolodex of Life called Spring, I suspect that you aren't going to feel too springy. The weight/wait of karma hangs heavy. The contractions that always follow expansions come to roost. I reckon you will feel better than in recent months, but it likely won't feel scrumptious like it so-called should. Thus, face the old so that you're not addicted to the new and let it go. Then you'll just be yourself. You'll enjoy yourself, even as the Dream comes and goes with great apocalyptic fervor and rant. You won't have to spring forward and fall back. You'll be and choose and that's called play. Claim your own consciousness and clear your own karma so that the software doesn't drag you through the muck and yuck.

Natural cycles are scrambled now. No creatures are escaping this topsyturvydom. It stirs up deep feelings of instability and insecurity. This isn't faced in people; so it's driven down into their emotional body and then into the physical body. The collective and the planet will increasingly exhibit eruptions of this shadowed goop. It's gonna be a long, hot summer, a real riot, shake and bake. Take care of your dear self. Have a session with me to assist your de-cobwebing and to encourage the delight of your being. Cut your losses, don't depend on your gains. Stay liquid and fluid. Nobody is gonna figure it out from here on. We're roaring through the Cataracts (both meanings of that word intended). The drama is massive and dharma will appear to be the answer. That game would've worked by now if it was gonna work. There is no answer to the problem in the years ahead. There will be the grinder and struggle of all of That. It's not you and you're not in it like you think. You can realize your own dissolution from the machinery if you claim your own consciousness as who you are. The result is that you'll be present and choiceful with the phantasmagoria rather than buried alive in the material or spiritgawking in transcendent denial.

The Game is a projection. All of it. Soul, body, God, One, dharma, karma, planet, love, truth and the American Way. It's all a movie. To keep making it more real and enchanting the beauty of it all with an attitude of gratitude will test the desperate projections of your faith, your hope and your lucky charms. You'll get shredded in that. Then it's hard to find your self. That's the Game for you. Are you tired yet? Would you like to enjoy the delight, peace and freedom of your being all the time without effort or would you rather seek in the house of mirrors. It is your choice. That choice will soon be obscured by the smoke of smoldering karma and unfunhouse mirrors. I've been preaching to you for years because I recognized that the Obscuration of the Drama/Dharma would tsunami in such a loud and distractive way that you would lose your own being while wondering what JC or Buddha would do when Armageddon commences in all the rage of collective and personal madness. I hate to see you suffer. Your projections, any and all of them, will get you more lost while you think they're saving you. Waking up in enlightenment just adds some lucidity while you are still identified in the Dream. You were never asleep in the first place cuz you're not in the Dream. You just took the blue or red pill once upon a time. Spit it out or forever go looking for your peace.

Happy Spring,
Mark
