Saucy Wake Up Call To All

So, here I am irritated, aggravated, appalled, pissed off, insulted, and talking to my cats in my favorite Irish, which she absolutely hates. AGAIN! 'Tis the Season, or so "They" say, whoever the hell they are anyway.
Dreams. Rattling around in my head, like haunting's under the bed. None of them tangible, all of them with the same ole theme. The theme is what gets me.
Women who are strong, resilient, outgoing, and intelligent; Some of them run whole worldwide companies, are administrators, have all climbed up the ladders of success, the hard way. They earned every single bruise, and having arrived do not know the first thing about human nature, or specifically about men in general. How does this happen?
Amazing, isn't it? Life, Love, or the pursuit of happiness. What they do know how to do is Mother. They treat their boyfriends, husband's, co-workers, kids, like they are the "ALL GIVING COW MOTHER" so that is what they are? Then they get pissed off when they keep on getting stepped on. Why they expect to be treated any other way than their actions speak, I haven't the foggiest. After all they have made themselves into servants, haven't they?
How can a man; or even a boy; "See" a Mother image as a sexual partner, without guilt, or even disgust, at themselves, if they do. How can they see someone who projects, and enforces this image, as a real life, equal, partner, and friend.
Kali-Ma, the All consuming one is the Death Mother. Gaia is Mother Earth, and rules all in and upon it. Hera is over all of the birth, growth, orientations; Harvesting, storing, for winter etc. The lists are endless, and of course, there is the Crone, and the Maiden.
Now, the Maiden is in a totally different Catagory. She is full of her own self completely, and she expects to be worshipped, and taken care of, and for the most part she is not disappointed. They are lined up at her door, admiring, worshipping, and in fear of her.
Yes, thats right; I said FEARED! A new toy is always treated like it is priceless, and it is. It is also petted, maintained, out-fitted, in the very best that their money can buy, put on a pedestal, and shown off, with huge glaringly, invisible, (sometimes visible) protection surrounding her, and worry, and fear come from the fact that this tender morsel of perfection, could be damaged, taken away, become disatisfied, in any way.
We all  know about CHRISTMAS, right? All of those brand new toys, treasures, possessions, (feel the love) we are so satiated, we want to show everything off right away, but the thing is that generally, we do not want to share the wealth. We want to be the "only" ones for awhile. RIGHT?
The other side of the coin is that this "shine" does not last, unless respect is a part of the package deal, and how does respect happen?
It is learned behavior, cause and effect. If we do thus and so, this happens, if we don't do this and so, that happens.
Do you respect your Mother? Or, do you take her for granted? Do you even know the answer to this question?
I know. I know. Most of you said; "Well, of course, I do! She "IS" MY Mother!"
Really? Is that all that it takes to qualify? Absolutely, and Irrefutably, NOT So!
Respect is not a given. It is like so many other important things in life. It must be not only learned and earned in life, it must be demanded, and cultivated.
I think that the lack of respect in this country, and the world, IS the #1 problem that we have, simply because it is a major building block, and the majority don't seem to have a single clue how important that building block is to the basic foundation of life in general, or even what it means.
Remember that song "Respect Yourself'"? It wa so powerful, it made your heart and soul proud to hear it. I remember when and where I first heard it. We were the backup  band for a local high school band. It was amazing how powerful those girls were. They knew what that song meant and they put it out there with pure pride. They brought the house down. Want to guess who won the contest? Not only did they sing it, they got their whole body, soul, and attitude, into it. They knew who Mama was. That is how it should be.
Respect is a two edged sword. It swings both ways. Unfortunatly, in these days, it is used more for manipulation, than it is for praise.
How you treat yourself, how you think of, and treat others, says it all. How you feel is a barometer. Pay attention. Balance is everything.
Remember Vincent Price in that old movie "The Pendalum"? How close is that razor sharp edge to destruction, and how have you invited it in by your own actions and offerings?
To give everything to a loved one is not Holy. Its is stupid! It is supposed to be a partnership, and it does matter what they have brought to the table.
The way a relationship of any kind starts "IS" the way it will wind up being, or end. There is nothing to defend or justify. Why should you even try to do that? What is...IS. Oh, yes, there is that. Little Green Meanie on my left shoulder says, "If you're neurotic 2+2=5; All of the time. Really.
Well, I don't know about you, but I, myself, do not suffer fools, or neurotics, for longer than it takes me to step away from their dialog. My nerves are crystal clear when it comes to "Bull Shit Artists" thin veneer.
The terrible truth is in the mirror, whether you want to see it or not. It is there.
If you feel that you must defend your actions as an enabler. There is an Agenda. Both sides of the coin. Either reinforcing the thought process of how giving or over burdened you are, and how much you have done for so and so, or such and such or; "I loved them so much, and they just didn't understand...Understand what? Put a label on it, and your answer is undeniable.
Of course, victims seem to be the rage now. Look at all those "Wanna be Zombies" in the Mall. Does that mean that they choose Death over Life?
Responsibility for ones own actions is an inside job. RESPECT YOURSELF!

Naked in the Sunshine

I was in pain when I lay down and my mind confused, jumbled, restless, wandering. I read a story. Intriguing, although, everything was jumbled, and relatively, meaningless.

All the socially, morally, and politically, correct activities, pomp, pageantry, religious fever, government control, ownership, rules, and regulations.

What was their day to day life all about? Shit!

The women spent all their time deciding what to wear, how to act, how to speak, they did nothing except to be props. Their lives as meaningless, pawns.

The men, brutal, controlling, decadent, abusive, arrogant, and stupid! The art of being obedient, simple, deadening, small. All of it.

The most important things they threw carelessly away. Their passion, their joy, their love, laughter, and in the end, what was it all about?

The children of these unions, with so much available to them were crushed, bled dry, by a system that was unsustainable.

They had no grand passions except the pursuit of decadence. No dreams, except about death, or destruction. Nothing to give their children, except their freedom, and no life to them, after this fact.

And, yet, everything was available to them. Everything, but did they for a moment consider reaching out and grasping that golden ring, clutching it with a passion filled mind, burgeoning with dreams of the future times to come?

No. They sat down at an over laden down table, as if it were their last meal, and they took what was offered them, as they always did, and never for an instant even dreamed that a whole other world was being shown to them, the veil lifted, the confusion shifted, as if in a dream when suddenly everything is clear, clean, concise, and unbelievably, beautiful, as it appears, and all they had to do was to reach out, and enjoy what was offered, while in this moment, they were here.

Instead, they closed their eyes, the curtains of the Soul, and reached out for control, manipulated, the windows of the Soul, simply because it was all that they know.

They could have known passion, they could have experienced bliss, opened their hearts touched the lips of extended, fatefulness, with no ending and no beginning, stepping silently, over the boundaries, that do not exist.

Instead, the wheel of destiny was stopped, and someone stepped to an open window, and pissed.

“I know, said one, instead of being happy and ultimately fulfilled. I’ll create a world of confusion for every person that I contact with, Drama, That’s the ticket for this. Oh, yes! That’s it!”

Another peeled off their blood-stained gloves, and decided to be the designated killer, slaughterer of love.

“We’ll become nomadic, take our business to the street, no, need to worry, we will be discrete, no one will even wonder, what the vibration is of the music, or the ease with which we display all of our talents, in multicolored hues, all they will experience is dull neutral colors, as the pigments run together, over-lap, defuse.”

A family could have been, there were the main ingredients, but instead, they all went their separate ways. Never used any of it.

Falling apart around the edges, losing themselves, in the pain of it, unexpressed talent, dreadful malice. Perpetual decadence, wore out, and wasted, they spent their final days.

The one who insisted upon being left behind, like a watermelon left too long on the vine, its wonderful and refreshing bounty, oh, so very fine, exploded, and dripped away, as the fruit was exploited, ripped, torn, wasted, enjoyed by the never-ending hordes of insects, that carried it away. The final merger, seeds tossed into the wind, dried up, transplanted, refused, rotted. Hard to comprehend.

A suicidal conquest, never to be gathered together again, once it is used. Separated forever, for all time, and beyond.

She lay on the ground naked in the Sunshine, it’s warmth upon her face, as the Serpent of desire, spiraled down and around the length of her body, seeking the truth of her essence, in this place.

She smiled, eyes closed, breathing deeply, completely, of the heat, knowing that forever was seeded in this second, and beneath the edges of a breath, there is the final relief, in the letting go of all possibilities.

“Do you feel it? she whispered. Do you see me? I am finally free. Clarity is so very sweet.”

Little Red Riding Hood: "If your dreams don't scare you you're not dreamin...

Little Red Riding Hood: "If your dreams don't scare you you're not dreamin...: "If your dreams don't scare you you're not dreaming big enough.” You were attracting (magnetizing) conditions to you ...

"If your dreams don't scare you you're not dreaming big enough.”

You were attracting (magnetizing) conditions to you which compelled you to think that you had to make sacrifices for the good of the whole, luckily those energies are passing now. Now you have fully adjusted and are committing yourself (at last) to the break down, tear down, re-evaluate, and rebuild phase, the better part of the year has been spent doing this, now you come to the ultimatum’s (in your own mind for they are not yet ready to be totally unveiled) the base structural type of analysis.

“The truth will set you free, but first it’s going to piss you off.”

Strong individualistic tendencies indicate that you must and have established yourself as a leader in as many ways as possible. It is after all “in the blood” and you have done it “your own way” producing things that are original and unique in their presentation and utilization, or practice.

You must have something of a creative nature to do, as a distraction, or outlet, that engages the senses, or you will be wound up like a spinning top, all the time. Think of athletes, mediators, or even rock stars, who are in high profile positions. The ones who stay on top have outside interests, and hobbies, that take them out of their heads, allowing them to find a lovely balance within the world without giving anything up that is of value.

Too much pressure and you can blow, and not in a positive way. Without a focused directive, unused steam must go somewhere, sometimes it is projected onto others. This can be confusing and distracting for you, as there seems to be no motive or justification for these transmitting “mirrors” of you and their seemingly peculiar actions. You can spend a lot of valuable time trying to figure it out. Stop. Go inside. They are portraying the parts of the equation that you are in total denial of. What are they trying to show you?

You tune into new ideas that are ahead of their time. Opinions that are just stirring at the surface starting to filter through the collective, are already understood and practiced by you.

“The mind is free of illusions and you take on any kind of structure by choice only.”

You have strange sleep habits sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night, wide awake, with a ton of electricity running through your mind, something whispering, “Breaker, Breaker, one nine, hurry, hurry, hurry, you’re going to be late! Always be authentic!” Quite like the Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. “You don’t have much time!” This can be counteracted by some sort of “same” electrical energy, like dancing. singing along with music, “music soothes the savage soul” and all of that. You must always have a good stereo system wherever you roam. Music is your medicine.

Along with all of that some sort of exercise that relaxes the body is therapeutic. Take this little test. Holding your arm out stretched out in front of your body, form a fist as tight as you can make it. Tight, tight, tight, the gritting your teeth kind of effort is what I am looking for. Feel that? Now release. Now, think about this, if you held that position for any length of time, do you think that you would do some damage to your body? Relax. Breath. Do this several times, deeply and completely. Feel that? What is the difference?

An explosive temper is the impulsive action to a passionate feeling that has been blocked by the mind, and must find an affirmative action. It is called madness. This is it’s demi god or goddess.

If it is not expressed in some affirmative way it turns on itself as some sort of illness physically manifested, or as depression. Depression is anger turned inside and wild.

Rather than try to control an unstoppable force that is headed for an immovable object (or two, or a hundred) you must give yourself permission to be different, rather than always trying to adjust to the whim, or demands of others. You must follow your own personal path. (If you have not already realized this, it is why you are here) Yes, even if it is disruptive. Let’s face it, if you don’t follow your own bliss, it will burst forth at seemingly the most inopportune moments. It always has, and it always will.

“You are just different.”

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, or you. Let others adjust to you or not as the case may be, it will also be a whole lot more convincing, and effective. You were meant to be a bit shocking, or a lot, and disruptive now and again. This is a much more honest approach and less painful for all concerned in the long run.

“Just be who you are, with no explanation or apology.”

You will then be amazed at how your life will change, after all “like attracts like” and all that jazz. If you feel that you don’t really “know” the people around you, this is the reason for it. It is because you don’t. They are, however, your creations. Stop feeding them and they will go away. Think about that little skit called 3-fiddy, about the Lochenest Monster.

One sure fire way of knowing that you are trying to control your senses (and the circumstances around you) is when you find yourself to be accident prone, and frustrated at the slightest inconveniences. When something “IS” over everything is the pits. Those little ideo-syncrazies that used to be “so” cute, are now infuriatingly, unacceptable behavior.

When you walk in a room your magnetism sparks, expands, and enlivens other people. They are attracted by your enthusiasm. This situation is to be expected in the beginning, and it is a great way to start a project, or class, as long as, you are all growing together toward a common objective. There must be a focus. A game plan. A growth oriented experience, where you are the original inspiration, but as the projects and unfolds they must get their own, or be on their own. You cannot, nor were you meant to carry their weight forever. That is their job.

“Be sure you are right, and then go ahead”

You are not quick to form an important opinion, usually (there are exceptions) but usually you think things through thoroughly. Once you have chosen a directive that you feel is the right course of action it is nearly impossible to make you change your mind.

One of the most positive things about this is that over a period of time you impress people with your convictions, and your ability to remain true to yourself, and your decisions.

You have an awareness of the subtle intricacies and under currents in any given situation, these are details that average people miss. You know this. It amazes you.

“TUNING ROD”

You are tuned into the problems of others, the concern is always there, whether you can take, or encourage action, or repress it, or not.

If you allow yourself to get carried away with it, you can get wrapped up, or around, in some pretty serious, (and some) illogical schemes to help others, perhaps doing more harm than good, your intention initially, being to solve the problem. It can get lost in the turmoil, confusion, and ultimate pain of the individual involved. Also, sometimes you “see” their potential and not who they truly are.

There is something “otherworldly” about you, and yet the projection results in a “pied piper” kind of theme, that makes others “want to” follow you to this other world.

Sensitivity to suffering, vivid imagination. Need to shield and protect yourself in order not to become overwhelmed by what you feel. Once you learn how to do this for yourself you are enabled to experience it as a real spiritual leader, teacher, healer, guide. You are the dream and the dreamer.

How you “see” and experience the universe as you have structured it. Yours is being examined and you are being tested at this time.

You personally need to pay attention to your physical body and its base needs. It is not fate that put you where you are but your own choices and actions.

You got what you wanted, didn’t you? What did you do with it once you got it? Manifested dreams.

Whatever the losses seem to be, whatever is not working needs to be let go of, especially in the relationship area, whether physically, mentally, spiritually, intuitively, or emotionally. Perhaps all of these.

If you are in a good position it will firm up, the structure secure itself. If not, be prepared to change.

“What you resist, persists.”

Don’t allow it to become exhausting. Depression, as stated before, is anger turned inside against yourself, instead of rationalized, mourned, and consciously dealt with in good form. I think that wallowing in it is a good way of putting it. When you make the adjustments, the emotional, mental, and physical losses will shore up.

“What does not destroy you make you stronger.”

This is a new beginning. Celebrate it. Last year you did a personal “Spring Cleaning” on many levels (people included) that were no longer working for you. Congratulations! You completely launched some long held dreams, opened up to breathe, so to speak, bringing in the possibilities, and the opportunities.

Your responsibilities are heavy, but as you know the end results justify the means, and you have a lot of accomplishments just at the harvesting stage. Carry on. The outcome will be huge. It is a tough time but you must stick it out, even though sometimes you feel that it is too much to ask. It is important that you finish the things that you have started before you start anything new, long term, projects. Your creations need your full attention to launch them or finish them properly and successfully. No one else can do this without you.

The concentration should be internally. What is it that you want or need? What things have you learned about yourself over the last fourteen year period of interaction with others within the social world? You must fine tune and transform, integrate and destroy (where needs be done) keeping the best of you firmly.

The better you can chisel this into perfection, the more successful you will be. Smooth and sleek like a Panther, accomplished, distinguished, and proud.

If you feel exhausted, as if you do not have enough energy to cope. Slow down! Take a break. Cut your commitments. Turn off your phone. Your greatest investment is in yourself. without you there is no world. No success. No dream, and no projects.

“The is no S_ccess without “U” in it. Right?”

Withdraw, reschedule, redirect, delegate, refocus, realign, limit your physical time. Remember that you are the Creator of the team. Your time is precious. Put the time that you need for yourself in your datebook as a standard, not to be rescheduled for any reason other than a real emergency (think 911) appointment.

Mother Nature will force you to keep this appointment with you one way or another. It would be easier on you if you cooperated with her by making your own time with yourself a very real priority. It is that important.

You need to unlearn all of the incorrect and inaccurate ways of being, and thinking about yourself from others. It is time for a massive “head enema” type of thing, get rid of the residual chatter and find the “REAL” you. Then you can consciously restructure your life accordingly.

Exciting times, confusing times, major growth periods, you are rediscovering the power of your mind.

The problem of course “IS” other people. Isn’t it always the case? They seem to deliberately misunderstand and confuse, the simpliest things, don’t they?

If this seems intentional, that’s because it is, but perhaps, not for the reasons you think.

“People love their rituals, they make them feel safe.”

This is an illusion as you know, ever notice that? Think about it; The majority of the world right now is angry and confused because they are afraid of the truth, and they always have been. It is so much easier to dress it up in a lie and swear to it than it is to put forth the time, effort and energy that it takes to change. That would mean that they had to take responsibility for their own actions and decisions.

Be very careful how you communicate with these seemingly confused and befuddled “Nay” Sayers. Even though they seem to be “Cotton wrapped” they are dangerous contenders who will bite you eventually, if you engage. Especially if you feel sorry for them. They are the ones with the “little knife in the back” or the ones who always swear the loudest and the longest; “It’s not my fault” while the murder weapon bleeds down the front of their clean white shirts.

Ouick, look closely, see that little glint in the eye, that quick quirk at the tip of the lip? Dangerous! They are fully aware of what they want to know, see, do, or be, and they will use any manipulation to get it and to keep it. Got it?

Pay attention to what you say and do, any kind of negotiation is to be kept in neat form. Misrepresentation could get you involved in things you wouldn’t want anything to do with, and could cause losses on many levels.

When you are confused, or feeling as if you are about to over-react, take a moment to step back (behind a closed door) if possible, detach, allow your momentum and your mind to settle down, concentrate on your feet being firmly planted on the ground, breath. When you are clear, you will “see” a new view, and know it as truth. Without “knowing” at a gut level, that you are right, what is the purpose in making a solid transformational decision? You cannot afford to second guess you.

You immediately understand ideas that are foreign to the so called “rational” mind, this is where the sixth sense of psychic abilities kicks in. If you are not prepared to receive these message’s you can and will be confused. Try acting upon them instead. It is pointless to try and explain how you know what you know. Just smile that knowing little smile, and look wise. They will just think that you have insider information, which of course you do, but why bother, it is better sometimes not to “open mouth and insert foot.”

These last six or seven years have resulted in massive changes in your personal life as well as the world around you. Your very real base of operations has been fragile; dealing with intimate family matters, members, parents, moving, relocation, and death, just to name a few.

You are now released, free to be, and you may be asking yourself; What’s next for me. Nothing is as it was, everything is open for change, as new beginnings aspire to be acknowledged, there are deep changes in the unconscious mind, an opening of the ways, uncovering of the roots for inspection. Where will you plant them, if at all?

Can you allow it to just “simmer” from time to time? A balancing of the energies is needed. As in “All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl.” Make time to play just as much as you work.

You know exactly what you are capable of. Feel the buzz? Travel, increase in your dealings with foreign persons. You are learning lessons about how to go beyond self-inflicted limitations in order to manifest your own true will, your own reality in all areas of culture.

*This is the add in that I was telling you I would insert. It is transformational or destructive. Pluto is a force that compels us to die as a child and be reborn as an adolescent, to die as an adolescent to emerge as an adult…the death of one phase gives over to the birth of a new one, whether we want it to or not. There is no way to stop this from happening short of killing yourself.

Mars may keenly want a particular job, relationship, or situation, but Pluto may have something else in mind for you. Pluto might say; “I think not getting that (whatever-fill in the blank) offers more of what “you” need, and is more in line with making you develop certain traits, strengths, attributes, supporters, which you would not develop or make if you readily landed the other situation that you think you want right now.

Mars complains, gets angry, bangs things about, shoots the garbage can, and cries out; “I’ve done everything I was “supposed” to do! I’m still not getting what I want!

Your ego self can choose something that it wants, but if it is not in line with the deeper Self, you just won’t get it. Or, if you do get it, you discover it is not all you thought that it would be.

With Neptune aspects to Mars it may ask you to sacrifice or give up something that has to do with Mars, so that our personal will can adjust to something higher.

Mars reacts by pushing harder, to get what it wants, tries to pull out all the stops, by being ruthless in to win out against all of the odds. Mars tries to turn its will to law.

“Have you ever tried to fight against cosmic law?” Isabel Hickey says. “You will break your neck in the process. Have you ever tried to jump out of a ten story building because you thought you could fly? Good luck with that.

Last but by no means least; A little Greek Mythology. Saturn castrated Uranus and some of the blood from the dismembered phallus dripped back onto the ground (Gaia’s womb) giving birth to the Furies. Remember them? This is the configuration that is in Fred’s chart that is holding you both back. The Furies have names which roughly translate into envious anger, retaliation, and a sense of neverendingness.

So something is inhibited or suppressed, something need to be changed, we hold back, then the energy backs up that would have been expressed and it festers creating frustration as we become angry and depressed and envious of the people who are doing what they want to do.

So, Saturn throws the dismembered phallus into the Sea. Merging with the foam, it gives birth to Aphrodite Botticelli’s painting of Venus rising out of the Sea. What does this mean? Other than the Goddess who has invisible balls, and a steel will, beneath that soft feminine form.

We need to try and be diplomatic about change. Diplomacy makes room within the old structure for new things to happen.

Keep the best of the old, but make space for whatever new needs to come in. “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.”

Of course this is easier said than done. Aphrodite is also the Goddess who re-dresses imbalances. there are times when conflict and disruption are needed in order to restore a greater balance and harmony.

Also, we may have to challenge and disrupt the existing structure in the name of making our lives more harmonious. A good fight might clear the air, or be more in tune with what we are meant to be doing, especially if we are settling to try and keep the peace.

Never allow yourself to be a prisoner to any type of structure, nor a victim of past conditioning. You are here to make your own way in your own time.

I love you. Blessed Be.

What of the Instinctual Nature?

What of instinct? What of nature? What of the possibilities that make us who and what we are, without censor, or apology?

I am you, and you are me. The connection is high technology, beyond logic, it is pure empathy, an energy, as ancient as time, and beyond, the mortal portal of the known world in which we supposedly exist. This is where everything exists.

There the control mechanisms of the so called “man-made” “human-kind” world does not exist.

These are the illusions that are used to twist, mold, control, erode, the very real reality of what “IS”.

That we are compelled to do certain things without censor, or logic, says it all.

How many try usually without success, to control, rationalize, compartmentalize and file away these inclinations?

ALL

My question is; Why this is, what is this senseless equation based upon? What is the real “reason” behind such obvious “social aerobics”?

These are the worst of the social diseases.

Running away from the truth that “Is” ourselves, the catalyst. We drown ourselves in decadence, so that we have 1001 excuses not, to simply “Be”.

Why is this? What are we so afraid of that we would twist ourselves upon the proverbial fires of constant pain, blind ourselves with thoughts of unworthiness, to give escapism it’s social name, and play a game, so deep, dark, and full of personal pain, that we lose our very finely tuned perceptions, and forget our worldly names?

What are we so afraid of? What is our real shame? What is wrong with just being? Re-sponse-ability is not a given theme. It must be cultivated, employed, elevated, enjoyed, and accepted on all levels. It is not a given. It must be learned. It is all about choice.

We stand at the crossroads, we alone must choose. Naked Fools. There are no rules, except the ones that we ourselves make self-evident. Your choices, your tools, your life.

Why is it that it is always ourselves that we are the most afraid of, and yet, the very obvious is never as clear to us as the so called projected reasoning that we perceive causes our discomfort, and this comes generally in the embodiment of a “Kindred Soul” that we refuse to acknowledge who is being and doing exactly what and how we ourselves would love to be and do?

We spend so much of our time being uncomfortable in our denial of our own Souls that when the bare and pure essence of what we are hiding behind, or within ourselves is reveled through the projected actions and inclinations of another, we are compelled to be appalled, and this in and of itself cause the “trigger dis-ease” that finally must needs come to the surface and be addressed, or it will destroy the very beingness that is within us.

This is when our control mechanisms break down, wreck havok, go off the rails, destroying the façade that we have created, we think, to keep us safe.

Safe from what and whom? Ourselves, of course, and our ultimate purpose.

Who are you? Who is it that causes you the most personal discomfort? Why is this? What do they do that repels you? Intrigues’ you? Magnetizes you? And, infinitely forces you to change? Or, more specifically, to wake up! Be who, what, where, and how, you came here to be.

It is in the reflection, that the truth is first recognized. The projection is always animated.

How we see things is personal. Our gift is in the calling to us of our own messengers, who give us general “wake up” calls.

“ALL ARE CALLED FEW ANSWER”

Do you know this one?

When will we be known? When we accept without apology, without surrender, our destiny. When we stop pretending to be something, someone, somehow, that is not our own truth.

When we can stand at the crossroads and comfortably, even enthusiastically, make our own kind of choices, without censor, with joy, faith, love, hope, and will, as our own constant companions, for a life that is extraordinary, and completely, positively, and creatively, our own way of being, doing, living, and giving.

This life…Are you ready for it? Do you crave within your own skin to be free? To be touched by the Infinite hand of fate, and turned upon the fires of creation, inot what is known as the real “Alchemist’s Gold”.

Well, then, reach out your hand, yes into the fire, open that gate, and walk into the garden of your own Soul, and know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, what this life is all about.

“YOU ARE THE TRUTH, AND THE WAY, WITHOUT YOU THERE IS NO WORLD FOR YOU”

Full Moon Gemini

I remember the Gypsy girl reading our cards and telling us that "Acceptance and Surrender" were the only things that she saw.
We both looked at each other, "Acceptance and Surrender?" We said in unison. "What does that mean?"
Then at a Sweat Lodge hosted by Brother White Bear, I asked for both, "Acceptance and Surrender". He was horrified, as he told me "Oh, no Sister, you do not know what you ask for. Nor how it will come. It is not an easy road. I know, I have done this."
Well, we had to ask, didn't we, and as always, "The Spirit does deliver."
The journey began that day. It has not been an easy one, sometimes, it has been excruciatingly painful. A real life roller coaster ride on all levels. Trying to hold on, always is, especially, when there is no real way to avoid change. I got exactly what I asked for.
I saw mirrored images the other day, left, right, front, back, the left ruled by the feminine, nurturing self, the right side, ruled by the masculine, aggressive self. Inside, outside. I had to think about all of the twists and turns, it was like a puzzle to me. Astrologically, and Metaphorically, of course. It is how I see things.

Air: ruler of Gemini,Libra, Aquarius. The thought. What you think you become. The breath.

Fire: ruler of Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. The act of creation. The Activator.

Water: The Intuitive feeling of Nature. What you feel, you.

Earth: The Physical Builder. Manifestation.

In combinations: A+W=Detached Feeling. A+E=Detached Builder. A+F=Detached Creator. And so forth. 

What do you think about? How do you think about it? Why are you building? What are you building?

What steps are left out? Planning, Building, creative, feeling, visionary?

What is the plan? Too much of a good thing is destructive. 

Example: Water and Earth create together with Air and Fire, making up the whole of the world in harmony, and beauty.

When it is all working out, the Sun shines and warms the Earth, and the Waters, the Air blows giving the breath of life, and cooling energies where needed, the Water flows lending its moisture, hydration, and promoting growth, bringing the cleansing rain.

When there is too much of any one of  these elements, there is chaos, which entails extreme conditions, bringing mandatory changes that must happen to either bring back and restore the balance, or eliminate the situation that is causing the trauma to the natural system.

Sometimes it is the inevitability of being the silent observer that is the only thing we are supposed to be experiencing.
The quiet listener. The witness to some obscure need to vent.
These require no input, no answer, no understanding shoulder to cry on. These simply need to be seen, heard, felt, acknowledged, by proximity alone.
Much like a confessional, without the need of being officially blessed, or the requirement of saying "Hail Mary's"  sets the person free, to simply be.
Cleansed of all turmoil, at last there is peace in the Soul, validation in the Spirit, a quieting of the Mind, relaxation of the physical Body. The vision clear, at last free flowing.
 Something so seemingly simple, shared, is forgiveness, in ones own mind, for the unbiased clarity, or the realization of "I am not alone" there is someone out there who "knows" me.
The importance of this connection is priceless.
"You are not alone. We are all One. What you have shared, I have heard. I accept you as you are. We are "ALL" connected. Believe It!

Astrologically Yours

Aries:  Actions speak louder than non-participation. Make the effort, be surprised at how much you enjoy being "out there". Remember to listen, as well as to express your own opinions. Try and keep a balance between the two. It is time that you started to practice what you preach, and teach, on a daily basis. Your services are not free.
Taurus: All work and no play, makes Jack, or Jill, dull companions, and friends. Take it easy on yourself. Pay attention to your health, get professional help when you need to. Do not think that things will " just go away" specifically, when they are insistent upon being aggravating, or painful.
Gemini: Love, passion, creation, work, service, health, business, partnerships. Wow! You've sure got a lot of juggling to do. Draining your resources, in all areas is not progress. Slow down. Take a moment to engage that fine mind, priorities first, right?
Cancer: Secure your home base, all else will follow. Family first. Smooth out the groundwork, and reprioritize your original momentum. Your creations are at their best when you get personally involved in their "care and feeding". Seriously transform, your field of vision, open up the most minute possibilities, allow these to speak to you on a personal level. Amazing isn't it?
Leo: You are not a disposable, instamatic, power tool, that operates all on its own computerized, Android. You are a human being, and you do need people to perform at you optimum capacity, efficiently, it is a group "thang". Breathing fire and taking names is a little bit harsh, when you play the age old "martyr" game. What "Is" the real reason for this? Who are you really angry with? Surprise!
Virgo: Anger about the past is holding you back from stepping gracefully into the future. It is what it is. You cannot change the past. You can decide to make better choices in the now. Catering to selfish, fragile, egos of family members who are a part of the old problems, is self defeating, kind of like trying to make a "silk purse out of a Sow's ears". Impossible.
Libra: Personal business, thoughts about past ventures, investments that didn't pay off, things that should of, would of, been, if only, makes you realize just how very important taking care of the details is. Sometimes, all it takes is being willing to pay attention and listen. Nothing is one sided. Ask questions if you need to. Get profession opinions. It is important that you gather all of the facts, before you make any sort of decision.
Scorpio: It is time that you got your finances in order, procrastination is over. Yes, it will be ruthless. Hire yourself a good attorney to help you through the process, and allow them to do their job, by handling the details. Being a Martyr does not become you. There are no victims here, only your choices.
Sagittarius: Memories of the past, friends already gone, do not allow yourself to follow this train of thought. Get out of the house, make some new friends, get involved in your neighborhood. "You don't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need." Sometimes that means going hunting for it.
Capricorn: Friendship is very important to you, as is business, if there is some mix up or misunderstanding on either end, cut to the chase and ask specifically what is going on of whomever is obviously responsible for creating this situation, and you do know who it is. Gossip, is one of the ugliest, and most ruthless tools that there has ever been. Nip it in the bud, by shining the light of truth.
Aquarius: If there are legalities, or problems, within your business sector, seek counsel, so right to the top, if need be, don't mess around, get the goods on whatever is not Kosher, and take care of it, right away. Love rarely mixes well with business. Neither does trusting someone to have your best interests at heart, if you are not involved with it yourself. Scrutinize these two factors carefully.
Pisces: Taking actions to level the playing field on jointly held resources so that they are more balanced, maybe taking a trip together, that you both enjoy planning out, and orchestrating, can smooth out the rough edges, bringing you more together as a couple. Romance is in the air. Seize the moment. Balance can be restored.

People of the Crack

Past the lines of civilization, to the murky waters of lost control...we find ourselves in situations where we do not understand our roles.
What are they? Where are they? Why are they? How are they? So important seemingly, to the status quo, they are little more than made up boundaries that keep us hostile, stranded without any kind of natural flow.
Loss of conscious obligations, rigid, moral, patrols, we look around and see the fabric of our lives take on the look of wasps nests, hives, and we, little more than moles.
Myself, I have watched this "shock factor" gaged the ether, and the fear, known without realizing, or even "knowing" just how threatening it can be to people who must maintain a certain façade to exist, even if it is this extreme.
Why is this? I wonder. I have never had the luxury of choice. I have "lived" in complete and total chaos, without a thought of the should of, could of, would of been's, although, I have been told often that these options surrounded me, while I lived in a bubble of non-conformity.
Perfectly oblivious, I only did the next best thing logically for me, never knowing about the options I have not been disappointed in the outcome, or annoyed by what I have heard other's call a certain intangible impasse or void. Overtones of Freud? I wonder. Could he be the one that has done so much damage, seeking always to analyze, label, and control this very human elemental?
Acceptance and surrender have long been my most sustainable keys. I have known no other way to live, or how else to be. I now see it in the eyes of the people around me.
Lovely, normal, people, pillars of the community. No, really. They are.
Their reasons for being, their constant obsessions; folded towels, just so, laundry on certain days, the grocery list, always stocking the same items in triplicate. Never, ever, without clean underwear, always saying and doing the "right" things, whether they felt like it or not. Cooking, cleaning, grooming, feeding, crying, pleading, going that so called "extra mile" in someone else's shoes, (how so?) All the while worried to absolute sickness that all of their many well laid plans will somehow fail.
Their house of cards will fall apart, an interloper will intrude, someone not a part of the original "pride" "brood" or plan, one who does not "know" instinctively or practice all of the "known" official "golden rules" of polite society, proper mannerisms, responsibilities, and techniques.
It is an amazing thing to wake up one day and realize beyond a shadow of a doubt that one is surrounded and drowning slowly, the breath being squeezed out and you never even knew it. You were just trying to live. When did it become a prison, a jail, a maximum security of living, dying, hell?
How did this happen? You solemnly ask yourself. I do not know. I must have been given a shot, or slipped a mickey in my coffee. I could have sworn that I was just looking in the mirror and there I was. Now I ask myself; Who is this stranger that is standing in the space that used to be my reflection? The eyes look kind of like mine used to look only they are no longer alive, animated, there is no sparkle, no life there at all.
What happened to that person with the banana boat shoes, that great big, bright, grin, that welcomed everybody in to share the dreams with? Where did they go? Does anyone know? Because, I want her back again. She has my life's blood.

Metaphor

Alembic or Retort

 "Glass vessels rounded at the bottom to rest in a metal rack, and with a long neck, sometimes curved, and corked. This, suggestive of the womb in alchemy, and sometimes referred to as the uterus. The idea is that the "work" "opus" is like a gestation of new life, and is performed with a sealed vessel, secured."

 What ever is contained inside is subjected to "the heat" and great pressure, but the seal must under no circumstances be removed, or compromised, or the work will be spoiled, and lost.

The alembic must be strong enough physically not to crack under this pressure. You can see what this means in psychological terms.

 The alembic is the symbol of being able to hold on to the affects, emotions, and conflicts, as they come to the surface, without exploding, and running around acting, (reacting) all over the place. If the seal breaks in the process, then the individual has relinquished responsibility, for their own choices.

  This is the cause of all problems, with commitment of all kinds. Many people have a great fear of involvement which keeps them from "staying in the fire" until the "stone" foundation can be created permanently, this happens only when you do the work, whatever it takes. 

   The stone being one's own will or focused directive, for commitment, which can only be "found" or "created" from the very real ingredients, and these are all of a very formative, and personal, preference.

   

   Messenger: You say that you say, and do things, that wake people up, and, or, challenge them within their restricting viewpoints, by freeing them in some way to be their very best, naturally

your mind does not work in ordinary ways, you see things in a different light, through your heart chakra.

   The mind probes deeply, past the superficial, probing for answers, through the visceral, the pivotal point being that you know that thoughts have power, intensity, and the strength of your convictions. You learn about this strength and courage through your most intimate relationships with others. You can be transformed through love, torn down and gutted, totally reconstructed from the inside out. You meet your own power in this way. It is what is buried with the Alchemist Stone in the psyche.

   However, in working with these deeply held complexes, by integrating them, even if they are projected, gives you the opportunity to heal, grow, transform, and dissolve, all of the trauma, imagined, or otherwise.

   The superconscious expresses itself through actions; how you assert yourself with power, will, and clarity of reason, changes the entire entity, or physical .

   There may be gut level, and extreme expressions of violence, tyranny, brutal control mechanisms, even if they are buried deeply within the psyche, their power to heal, or destroy, is felt in what it attracts, blocks, or repels. 

   When there is a need to walk away, take it. Come back clear and tranquil, there are any number of invisible forces that can, and will, try to confuse, and destroy this process. Yes, even in your dreams.

   You know "things" and you cannot be compelled to "see" them any other way, nor should you allow yourself to be compromised in this. You just "know" as if an electrical surge, or "lightbulb" has gone off inside of you. It is that fast. Accept this process.

   Sudden flashes of intuition that are like lightning (upper chakras) Mercury/Uranus different than a standard "Gut" reactionary level (lower chakra) ruled by Pluto, or one that is "in your bones" ruled by Saturn. You "feel it" and are adamant about it. Do not disregard.

Astrology - Alchemy - Metaphysics

Jung had a picture of the cosmos in one of his books that depicted outer space filled with floating and propelling big rocks, asteroids, star constellations, planets, and their planetary symbolic ruler-ship symbols, in the Zodiac; The Ram, Bull, Twins, Crab, Lion, Virgin, Scales, Scorpion, Centaur, Goat, Water Bearer, and the Fishes going in opposite directions. All were fighting with their solar opposites in the midst of all of this "Final Frontier" back ground.
Ram was kicking the Scales, instead of trying to balance them out, and find a middle ground of compromise and compassion, or learn something about charm. The Scales were totally unmoved by any of it, perfectly happy to ignore anything that did not concern them and their interests of the moment, instead of actually noticing that the lessons of taking action and doing something, instead of waiting for it to happen to them, was passing them by, (or kicking them out for failure to engage, which ever the case may or may not be)
Bull was busy fighting the Scorpion, much like Michael and the Bull, in that movie with John Travolta "Michael" with no thought at all except to destroy and prove to the whole world just how powerful and strong he is, while Scorpion was trying to find a way into the soft tissues in order to sting Bull where it would hurt the most, both oblivious to the "knowing" of their own personal powers to build, transform, create, and do it with love, and will, transforming any negative into a positive.
The Twins were trying to "break" the Centaur by playing games with him instead of honoring his wisdom to teach and heal, and the Centaur, was trying to throw the Twins off his back in total frustration, aggravation, and basic humiliation, instead of utilizing his fine mind in order to negotiate with them, and bring it all together for the good of all mankind.
Crab was busy doing her one step forward, one step sideways, one step back, kind of dance, while digging and planning the down-fall of Goat, while Goat stomped around butting, biting, chewing, and trashing, just about anything that moved, trying to destroy Crab before she could do it to Goat. Instead of the two of them acknowledging one's capacity to lead only if it's base was secure, and doing the PR work needed to insure success for both of them, neither being anything at all without their solar opposite.
The Lion was roaring, and pawing, having a fit, at the Water Bearer, in anger and frustration, wanting to be watered with wisdom, and treated as a friend, while physically demanding to be served as a King. The Water Bearer calmly pouring the water on the Lion's head, instead of acknowledging that in each of them was the keys to heal whole groups of people with their combined power to lead, entertain, educate, soothe, invent ways of making changes, and getting others interested and involved, that were so desperately needed to survive, and flourish on this planet and beyond.
The Virgin was tangled up, way over her head, in the watery abbess of the Fishes domain, trying to figurer out the details, while everything kept changing, in a kaleidoscope of hypnotic colors, so very confusing and luring, as the Fishes swam in opposite directions all around her, and in parallel  to each other, while leading the Virgin deeper into a wild goose chase, as the Virgin became more and more agitated with the feeling that she was all alone in a strange world, where no one spoke, or even thought, in her language, and the Fishes became depressed, with something that started out as a game, and then they both got lost in the illusionary factors, so much so, that they could not find their way out of the very tangle, that was self created, by both sides, this because of their refusal to communicate, be considerate with each other, try a little understanding, and share the wealth of knowledge, and resources they had between them, to heal and illuminate others, as well as each other, instead, in pride and confusion, they were making an Island in the sea, and of the land, by staying stagnant and limited, and it was going to be the death of them yet.
These of course are my take on the picture in Jung's book, and they are extreme, as they are meant to be. Only extreme explanation's can get people's whole attention sometimes, however, this is exactly the kind's of effects I have been seeing on a daily basis with the people around me. Mars is prominent, and it rules the adrenal glands, and in the psyche aggressive, instinctual natures, fire arms, knives, hand to hand combat, without thought, think "Rambo" in the body, it is iron. A deficiency of this vitamin in people who are predominantly "Arian" in nature can cause exactly these kinds of frustrated actions in people.
Saturn within the body rules the skeleton, bones, and any kind of disruption here can cause a catalyst of pain and aggravation as well as a whole lot of pain, sometimes you might check out exactly what you are surrounding yourself with, in your mouth for instance, metal can do all sorts of things to the nervous system that is literally wrapped around those bones, and this logically causes "short outs" resulting in things like Osteoarthritis in the system, and of course, along with this goes our patience.
Without the Sun in our lives we are not getting the nourishment we need for the heart and soul to survive, much less thrive, without this vitamin D in our system we can feel as if there is no love or creativity in the world, and exactly what is the point in doing anything at all. In other words we are what we think, feel, create, build, and believe we are. The work we are being called to do at this time, and within the range of these two Eclipses is to deal with the deficit's in our lives, not ignore them, or point our finger outwardly by blaming others, or a system on the choices we ourselves have made and supported up until now. The work or "Opus" as Jung so appropriately calls it, is the defensive, dark, depressive, barren regions, of the Nature within ourselves, in order to release that "Solar Gold" that is a joyful vision of life and love.
We are here to balance, to deal with things as they come, to transmute ourselves, and to learn, that not one of us is an Island. It is not in the best of times that we learn and grow the most, but in the worst of times, when we are forced to go just one step further, in order to make the grade. The choice is ours, and it always has been. Why we would ever point our fingers outwardly and blame anything, or anyone, on the state of our lives, and the responsibility of our choices, is a real eye opener, and a supremely personal acknowledgement of imminent defeat. Remember that when you point that finger out, there are three pointing back at you. Take care of your own business first and foremost. Leave what does not need doing alone. Conserve your energy when and where you can, you will need it sooner than late. Why waste it on conjecture, or violent oppositions?

Love and Light.
