Part two of your triple play unfolds as Hermes skips into Scorpio…but
this is no ordinary trip, (not that any excursion through Scorpio could be ordinary!).
There is quite a lot of looping and swirling ahead…any and all communications
are likely to become even more complicated, as you will see…
Mercury is heading for another reversal on November 6, (the day of the
Election no less…hmm, that sounds like “trouble”), and although
Hermes will have managed to make it into Sagittarius by October 30, he will
retrograde back into Scorpio on November 14, then turn direct on November 26
and return to Sagittarius on December 10…whew!
That is a lot of swirling, diving and looping…Mercury will end up being
in Scorpio for about 50 days, which is rather long. Let us save all those turns
and twists for when they happen and just focus upon this focus on Scorpio…
When Mercury dives into the Watery realm of Scorpio, your mind is no
longer satisfied by the pat answers that come from accepting matters as they
appear. You are moved to plunge deeper, beyond the ordinary and delve into
discovering, (if you can), the noumena that stand behind, that create the
shadowed reality of, your phenomena…you seek to truly understand…And for
this you must become one with what you seek to know…For you can only transcend
through Union.
That is a tall order because your wondrous instrument of understanding,
your mind is most certainly circumscribed…by itself! You can attempt to see
things for what they truly are, but wherever you go, of course…there you are!
Your Principles, Theories and Laws, your Assumptions (and Prejudices) go ahead
of you and reveal to you what you were expecting to find anyway. Or, at most,
your higher mind may take you somewhat outside of the ordinary, to glimpse
something beyond the safe and familiar.
But do you really understand? Are you
really moving towards Wisdom, or just building more Sandcastles of Knowledge? For
each and every age claims that it had found the Truth, only to face an
inrushing Tide of Mystery…for Isis must ever be Veiled if you approach her in
the ordinary ways…you will not lift her veil, you cannot know her, if you
remain separate and apart.
The path to greater understanding, the path to Wisdom, depends upon you
developing those higher faculties that take you beyond the acquisition of more
information, of more knowledge. Yes, the acquisition of knowledge, of rigorous
training of your marvelous mind is essential…it prepares you to carry out
many functions in your world. But Knowledge cannot take you across the divide
between yourself, the other and your world…for that you need to develop other
powers that are hidden, sleeping and wait for a sign…
To truly learn the lessons of life, to truly know yourself and your
universe there is only one path…Becoming. The only way to experience the
Truth or Reality of something is to become THAT…And that is why you journey
through all the forms of this marvelous Cosmos…becoming, growing,
learning…Understanding…This is your beautiful journey in
Life-Consciousness-Spirit.
But the remarkable truth is, that having reached this Human form you are
prepared to take a most important step. You have it within you the ability to consciously
move into the spaces of others and see as they see, feel as they feel, know as
they know.
What…what is this you ask?
It is true, it is not yet fully formed, it is still developing and
unfolding within you. For many but a dim awareness, for some a steady support,
but yes, you have this ability that those who have gone ahead of you have
mastered…the Buddhas, The Krishnas, The Christs, all the Masters and Teachers
have shown you the way. They have become who they are through this most wondrous
faculty that you exercise more or less everyday…
Everyday! Whatever do you mean? What is this power, this gift, this
wonder?
It goes by many names and manifests in ever more exalted degrees. Some
call it Compassion, many call it Empathy…and for those who have just begun to
tread the path it is known as Sympathy. But in every instance these Bridges of Understanding
form between yourself and the other…and the veil is lifted if but just a
little.
For you have taken a step closer to the Truth…You have come closer to
the realization that the fundamental longing that your Higher Self has for you
is this: That you come to Consciously, Empathically and Lovingly recognize the Oneness of the Creation that you and every other spark of the Divine are part of.
Let Mercury in Scorpio take you into the depths…
Let Hermes help you to lift the veil that separates you from one
another…
It is time to bridge the divide, to dispel the illusion…
It is time…
To Be One with One Another.
