This is the day that FDR said would live in infamy. He should have seen these days and this daze. We are becoming aware, again I suppose, of just how much infamy goes on all the time personally and collectively. The current administration of the US is beyond the pale. We are becoming aware collectively that there is a lot of funny business that goes on in the background; the funny business doesn't have our best interests in mind. Finally, I hope, that you can see that the mind doesn't have your best interests in mind. Claim your own consciousness and clear your own karma. The inherent lie of the mind is what you can see all the time now. If you identify in it, you'll feel like you are the lie and you'll go looking for the truth, when all you wanted to be was your self. End the Game and claim your own being.

The Mutable T-cross just came to a head as the Sun in Sagittarius just went through the mid point of the opposition between Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces. Mercury will do likewise through the weekend and then Venus will go through in the early half of January. All manner of revolutions are being established before the triggers are pulled on them. Half the planets are in Sagittarius for the weekend. This only exacerbates the have/havenot split. We all participate in this. We step on the fingers below us on the economic and ecologic ladders, just as ours are stepped on from above. The trouble is that the whole ladder is dissolving. Ecologies and economies are dismantling. There is no apparent replacement other than the feared chaos. It's helpful to note that it is all chaos with apparencies of order. We praise the order, theological or political, and get in line to keep the chaos at bay, yet the random reaper reels on. Disorder is the order of the day. People's bolts are coming loose in their personalities and communities. The anxiety is mounting.

Faith is the classic answer. Can you see that faith is denial with a feel good on top? Faith will not set you free no more than Truth will. They're just part of the machinery in the software. When you hit a rational limit and the sirens are going off, voila: switch to the higher mind for hope/peace/love. The problem is that these mechanisms aren't working. They never actually work ultimately, but now at the end of the Piscean Age, you can see that they don't work. This leaves you raw and refugeless and likely depressed. This is good news in the sense that you are seeing through the Game and realizing what goes on all the time. Claim your own consciousness and clear your own karma. If you don't, you will be driven more deeply unconscious with fancy forms of denial called faith and belief. These are the very patterns that are clearly dragging the world way down. Fundamentalism just reveals the fun that everybody is having when they identify in da mental, i. e., the mind. You can't get over it if you are identified in it; it will only take you higher, while you think the same old same old will still work. Then you have to get still. Then you have to work. Then you have to get still. Tired yet?

Dear old Sagittarius is the poster child of faith, hope, belief and understanding. These things are balms to the suffering, but they do not clear your identification in the software that runs the suffering. Balms away, these days. The daze is clearing and you can see the hopelessness that is the core of hope. You can see the denial in faith, the misunderstandings in belief. And likely you can't understand a thing that is going on these days. However, you can realize what is going on rather than understand it through the mind, which will always obscure the software and leave you running on suffering with a handful of hope. Oy vay and Happy Hanukkah.

There's a New Moon 12/9 at 9:40 am PST in Sagittarius, which adds to what I've been speaking of. A wealth of lovely aspects occur all week, but Jupiter conjuncts Pluto, near the Galactic Center, 12/11 at 11:26 am PST and this dominates the flavorings. Transform or die to the endless limbo of hope. Realize your own consciousness and being or be cursed to the sacred path that goes in endless circles of tempting upspiraling. If you think going anywhere, including here/now, is going to get you to peace, then prepare to meet your maker the mind and prepare to hear it grind ad nauseam ad infinitum 'til your undying daze.

Enjoy your wonderful self and let go of the projections,
Mark
