Tran­script of Radio Show: Nep­tune in Pisces 2021 — The Truth of Uncon­di­tion­al Love, the False­hood of Separation

(If you wish to lis­ten to the show instead, here is the link on BlogTalk or Apple Pod­casts)

In my fourth show of 2021, we will look once more at the mean­ing and mes­sage of Nep­tune for us in 2021. In a world where there is so much con­fu­sion and illu­sion, how can we find our way out of the cacoph­o­ny of false­hoods and into the Light of Truth? It is real­ly quite sim­ple, and yet pro­found, and we will see how our time is not so dif­fer­ent from when Nep­tune was in Pisces previously.

So today I thought we should revis­it our dis­cus­sion about the plan­et Nep­tune whose jour­ney through its own sign of Pisces dur­ing our time is from 2011 to 2026. As I men­tioned, its pre­vi­ous pass through this sign was from 1847 to 1862, and we can cer­tain­ly appre­ci­ate (even more now) the res­o­nance and rhyming of the spir­i­tu­al chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties these pas­sages hold in com­mon as we bear wit­ness to the strik­ing par­al­lels of our own peri­od in his­to­ry with what hap­pened then.

Nep­tune & USA, 1847–1862
As I pre­vi­ous­ly men­tioned, the Uni­ver­sal­iz­ing, Com­mu­nal and Uncon­di­tion­al Love mes­sag­ing of Nep­tune was very appar­ent in the Unit­ed States, most notice­ably with the fun­da­men­tal spir­i­tu­al oblig­a­tion in the strug­gle for eman­ci­pa­tion and the abo­li­tion of slav­ery from the late 1840’s, through the 1850’s, lead­ing to the elec­tion of Abra­ham Lin­coln in 1860 and the start of the Civ­il War. That was the defin­ing moment in our his­to­ry; that “War between the States”, was sim­ply a war whose sin­gu­lar and spir­i­tu­al pur­pose was to end slav­ery in this country.

But Nep­tune in Pisces can equal­ly be seen, in its more delu­sion­al or neg­a­tive form, as fuel­ing the fevers of “Man­i­fest Des­tiny” and the drum­beat of con­ti­nen­tal expan­sion of the Unit­ed States which led to the War with Mex­i­co and the Cal­i­for­nia Gold Rush. That war of aggres­sion led to the seizure of what would become Texas, New Mex­i­co, Ari­zona, Neva­da, Col­orado, and Cal­i­for­nia. That was quite a land grab, and we should under­stand that this mil­i­tary con­quest was dri­ven by the deter­mi­na­tion of prop­er­tied white men. The prin­ci­pal wealth of many of those men was through ownership/enslavement of oth­er human beings. The slave­hold­ers in the South saw the dri­ve for abo­li­tion as an exis­ten­tial cri­sis, and their fer­vent cam­paign to secure more land was to main­tain the pow­er of the Slave Hold­ing states by main­tain­ing their major­i­ty in the Sen­ate, by hold­ing the Pres­i­den­cy, and there­by also deter­min­ing the make­up of the Supreme Court.

In these two con­trast­ing exam­ples, we can see the full range of uplift­ing spir­i­tu­al ener­gies of Nep­tune and the equal­ly Nep­tun­ian man­i­fes­ta­tion of delu­sions fuel­ing pow­er-mad dri­ves for impe­r­i­al expan­sion and dreams of instant wealth that played out here in Amer­i­ca. We must remem­ber that the Plan­e­tary ener­gies can be man­i­fest­ed from the very low­est of forms on up to the very high­est; the ques­tion of what will hap­pen in our human king­dom depends upon us, it is deter­mined by our indi­vid­ual and col­lec­tive lev­els of spir­i­tu­al development.

Nep­tune — Europe and Chi­na, 1847–1862
But this was not mere­ly hap­pen­ing here. In Europe, the late 1840’s wit­nessed one of the strongest advances by social and polit­i­cal move­ments whose aims were spir­i­tu­al­ly sim­i­lar in nature, and across Europe, peo­ple joined togeth­er to chal­lenge the exist­ing polit­i­cal and eco­nom­ic order, their efforts direct­ed towards eman­ci­pa­tion and more democ­ra­cy, and this led to rev­o­lu­tions against monarchial/absolute pow­ers in a series of pop­u­lar revolts from France to Aus­tria to Hun­gary to Prus­sia. These upris­ings led to reforms and a very real advance for human jus­tice and equal­i­ty. But these efforts most­ly end­ed with coun­ter­rev­o­lu­tions includ­ing the end of the French Repub­lic in the Sec­ond Empire of Napoleon III.

In Chi­na, a Chris­t­ian Chi­nese man set out on a mis­sion as the “son of God”, a younger broth­er to Christ, and cre­at­ed a move­ment to save the world by shar­ing wealth and land redis­tri­b­u­tion. His cause swept across cen­tral and east­ern Chi­na to over­throw the Manchu rulers in the Taip­ing Rebel­lion. It was very much their own Civ­il War and last­ed from 1850 to 1864 (par­al­lel to the peri­od of the US Civ­il War). Yet dur­ing this same peri­od, the colo­nial pow­ers of Europe were deeply involved in try­ing to main­tain their trad­ing priv­i­leges and exploita­tion of Chi­na, and their strug­gles to extract wealth by export­ing poi­son to anoth­er peo­ple that became known as the Opi­um Wars, (of note to us is that Nep­tune is also said to be the ruler of drugs and intoxication).

Nep­tune, Part of the Tri­ad of Spirit
Yes, the pas­sage of Nep­tune through Pisces is quite pow­er­ful, as it is the hold­er of this pro­tean agency that moves us beyond the bound­aries between one realm of forms and into anoth­er, lead­ing to ever greater and more inclu­sive and encom­pass­ing ener­gy-forms. As I have repeat­ed­ly stat­ed, Nep­tune is the Avatar for us of one of the three pri­ma­ry attrib­ut­es of the Divine. Nep­tune holds the Ener­gy-Form that con­nects all with the One, or is the One in all, and which we under­stand and expe­ri­ence in its high­est human form as Uncon­di­tion­al Love. The Truth is there is but One Life, One Love and One Mind, and we are all just sparkling dew­drops in the Life, Love and Mind of the One.

The ulti­mate Truths flow from what we have been told which is this, that in the begin­ning there was the One who was as yet unman­i­fest, and who came into Space-Time by becom­ing the many, and all these innu­mer­able ones of the One, of which our human king­dom is a host of these ones, that all of these ones are on a jour­ney of the “self-that-is-becom­ing”, and that path of becom­ing is guid­ed by the Mon­ad of the One in each of us. We are con­tin­u­al­ly seek­ing our monad’s self-real­iza­tion by mov­ing into ever more per­fect forms, as we fol­low the many paths that lead back to the One who (in Truth) is with­in and behind all these more lim­it­ed ones, for it is we who are the body of the One.

Para­dox­i­cal
Yes, I know it seems con­fus­ing and para­dox­i­cal that the very root of Cre­ation, the Love of the One in all of us “lit­tle ones” can both lift a soul to the most sub­lime expe­ri­ences of com­pas­sion, empa­thy, and noble self-sac­ri­fice, and that this very ener­gy-form of ego-tran­scen­dence and self-unfold­ment could also be one of root sources for con­fu­sion, delu­sion, decep­tion and even what we might expe­ri­ence as mad­ness too.

But Spir­i­tu­al Truths, and Spir­i­tu­al Ener­gy-Forms are often para­dox­i­cal because, well frankly because the Uni­verse is on the one hand so supreme­ly sim­ple and yet also extra­or­di­nar­i­ly com­plex and won­drous too! That is why many mas­ters and teach­ers will use var­i­ous tech­niques to help their stu­dents break up more fixed and lim­it­ed per­spec­tives and under­stand­ings by speak­ing para­dox­i­cal­ly. It is a tech­nique that is their lov­ing attempt to lift our aware­ness from a more lim­it­ed, less encom­pass­ing real­i­ty-form or struc­ture into the next lev­el of what I call “the Greater Understanding”.

This is one of the great ben­e­fits bestowed by Nep­tune, the pow­er of Clear-See­ing or Clair­voy­ance, and it is why Astrologers have often called Nep­tune “The Uni­ver­sal Sol­vent”, for it dis­solves the bound­aries and so opens our minds and our hearts to wider expe­ri­ences and deep­er under­stand­ing. But in that very func­tion of dis­solv­ing, we are forced to “let go” of that which has formed our real­i­ty, an old­er par­a­digm that has giv­en us the com­fort and secu­ri­ty of a true but lim­it­ed under­stand­ing our world, but which has equal­ly kept us bound to a less­er con­scious­ness of the “Greater Reality”.

Spir­i­tu­al Gifts, also a challenge
Yet it is also true, that in the release from one form there is always the dan­ger, that by becom­ing unteth­ered to what was real, an indi­vid­ual or group or even a nation may become enam­ored of ener­gy-forms that are not famil­iar, and although they may even seem quite beau­ti­ful and full of light, it can also be true that this illu­mi­na­tion is some­times but a frac­tured reflec­tion, a shad­owed-form of fear that is not an advance­ment but a diver­sion into false and decep­tive path­ways. The his­to­ry of human­i­ty is lit­tered with manias, delu­sions, and erup­tions of false­hoods that took pos­ses­sion of a peo­ple and often end­ed in great sor­row and destruc­tion. There are some books and stud­ies about this his­tor­i­cal phe­nom­e­non such as “Manias, Pan­ics and Crash­es: A His­to­ry of Finan­cial Crises”, or the equal­ly sig­nif­i­cant phe­nom­e­na of mil­len­ni­al move­ments in cults and reli­gions, and less­er or greater con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries through­out history.

What we need as we walk the path of awak­en­ing is, on the one hand, to main­tain some nec­es­sary con­nec­tion to that which is true and at least for us more per­ma­nent and ever­last­ing, as we let go of oth­er old cer­tain­ties that stand in the way of our enlight­en­ment. If we can remain root­ed to the essen­tial nature of the Uni­verse, and fol­low its guid­ance, then we may more safe­ly explore the path that can lead to a more encom­pass­ing par­a­digm and way of being that is the path­way to the Greater Under­stand­ing that is held in the One.

The Way is found through Ever­last­ing Truth
As I often remind my clients, there are cer­tain truths that are “Truths”, that is Truth with a cap­i­tal “T”. Num­ber one: This Uni­verse is formed by one pri­ma­ry Ener­gy-Form, The Uncon­di­tion­al Love of the One for all the ones; Two: That made by Uncon­di­tion­al Love, we are here to Love and be Loved Uncon­di­tion­al­ly too; Three: Giv­en the Ener­gy-Form that holds all of Cre­ation as One is our Root Ener­gy-Form as well, then we are here quite sim­ply to Love One Anoth­er, and it fol­lows that we should Love the oth­er as we Love Our own true Self for there real­ly is no dif­fer­ence. Each one of us, all of us are in Truth sparks of the One and so we are here to live by the light of divine with­in each of us, indeed in all that we do, it is by this Love that we bow to the Divine that is the entire­ty of this won­drous Cre­ation too.

If root­ed and ground­ed in Love, we can explore this Uni­verse care­ful­ly, car­ing­ly, lov­ing­ly, and wise­ly. We can grow, guid­ed by our High­er Intu­itive Self (again, held by the Avatar that is Nep­tune) by let­ting go of our old but more lim­it­ed cer­tain­ties that held us togeth­er but may now hold us back, as those old cir­cum­fer­ences of real­i­ty-forms are cir­cum­scribed by what have become our crys­tal­lized fears that are now hold­ing us back from what we are meant to be.

Nep­tune 2011–2026
So, for exam­ple in our present-day cir­cum­stances, as Nep­tune jour­neys through Pisces from 2011 to 2026, we have seen that many of the com­mon­ly held real­i­ty-forms that held us togeth­er “as one”, whether with­in and between our fam­i­lies, com­mu­ni­ties, cul­tures, nations and even as cit­i­zens of this world, that our com­mon and shared real­i­ties became less cer­tain for many. Around the world and in our coun­try, for many indi­vid­u­als and groups, the old “Bub­bles of Belief” were replaced by an erup­tion of alter­nate and often quite con­flict­ed and con­fus­ing real­i­ty-forms, and some of these emerged out of delu­sions, mis­in­for­ma­tion and decep­tions that were spread at the speed of light via the myr­i­ad net­works of social media platforms.

Where­as the manias of old like the Tulip Mania in 1636–37, or the South Sea Bub­ble invest­ment bub­ble of 1720, were spread by let­ters and news­pa­pers, our present-day engines of viral prop­a­ga­tion, the social media plat­forms with their log­a­rithms of desire and fear, cre­ate an infor­ma­tion­al wild­fire of delu­sions that are much more potent and mes­mer­iz­ing, sweep­ing through indi­vid­u­als, groups, nations and often around the entire world.

Spir­i­tu­al­ly, the psychological/emotional root of how manias and con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries take hold is that vul­ner­a­ble indi­vid­u­als have become sep­a­rat­ed from oth­ers and from with­in them­selves, and often more or less unteth­ered to their high­er spiritual/intuitive self. It is that high­er self which holds us upon the mid­dle path of love, rea­son, and sym­pa­thy, and it encour­ages us to approach any sit­u­a­tion (and any oth­er being) with a self-crit­i­cal, self-aware­ness, while equal­ly main­tain­ing an empa­thet­ic, open, and hum­ble con­sid­er­a­tion of the mat­ter or being before us.

How We Fall Into Error
When we lack this anchor­ing with­in our high­er self, we fall prey to the attrac­tion to and entrap­ment by the low­er emo­tion­al mind, which oper­ates in a very bina­ry fash­ion, (good or evil, truth or lie, us or them). This low­er mind is fun­da­men­tal­ly shaped by Fear not Love, and it is this fear­ful nature that dri­ves many who become cap­tured by manias and con­spir­a­to­r­i­al delu­sions. Their fear-shaped con­scious­ness con­stricts their self-crit­i­cal and self-cor­rect­ing fac­ul­ties, and their nar­rowed per­spec­tive dri­ves them into some form of com­pen­sa­tion. One clas­sic psy­cho­log­i­cal mech­a­nism to neg­a­tive­ly cope with fear and feel­ings of vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty is to find some means to cre­ate a false sense of superiority.

Instead of remain­ing in the larg­er com­mu­ni­ty of com­mon­ly held beliefs, truths, and facts, indi­vid­u­als who are pos­sessed by their low­er mind find like-mind­ed oth­ers and form a sep­a­rate com­mu­ni­ty, whose mem­bers feel that they are privy to a spe­cial, secret, and greater knowl­edge than those who do not agree with their bina­ry and fear-based claims. With­out the root­ed­ness in eter­nal truths and val­ues, their spu­ri­ous claims of supe­ri­or knowl­edge become increas­ing­ly warped and bent beyond all rea­son, since they are unteth­ered from the bedrock of our rea­son, which is our true and uncon­di­tion­al­ly lov­ing spir­i­tu­al self.

Here we find revealed the dis­tinc­tive dif­fer­ence between a spir­i­tu­al or “liv­ing” faith that is root­ed in the Uncon­di­tion­al Love of the One, and a fear-based, shad­owed faith of rigid dog­mas that sep­a­rates the true believ­ers from those who are “oth­er”, and which fun­da­men­tal­ly divides their believ­ers from the rest of human­i­ty. The prin­ci­pal dif­fer­ence is the spir­i­tu­al error of sep­a­ra­tion, to divide and sep­a­rate humans from one anoth­er, to place human­i­ty into sep­a­rate and unequal group­ings, class­es, eth­nic­i­ties, and beliefs.

The Noble Path of Awakening
Yes, Nep­tune is one of the keys to under­stand­ing our path of awak­en­ing; and the fun­da­men­tal Truth of this Cre­ation is that there is but One Mind, One Love and One Spir­it. By Uranus, we find the way by our Freer Minds to Indi­vid­u­a­tion, as we become a unique one in the Mind of the One; by Nep­tune, we live by what made us, in the Uncon­di­tion­al Love which is the Love of the One in all of us; and by Plu­to, we find our way by Cen­tered Wills to align our will with the Will of the One. This is the Noble Path of Awak­en­ing, and it is the Way of the One held by the Tri­ad of Spir­it found in every par­ti­cle of Creation.

The Ancient Wis­dom holds that the Love of the One is Uncon­di­tion­al and All-Encom­pass­ing. And we, who are sparks of this One Divine Light, we are equal­ly called upon to strive to treat one anoth­er, and indeed all of life, as our broth­ers and sis­ters, as our moth­ers and fathers, as dear to us as we are to our­selves; that we are here quite sim­ply to learn and so become that Light which is Love; and that our entire Jour­ney in Spir­it is for us to awak­en to our true nature which is to love and be loved in this Cre­ation, a Cre­ation in which we and count­less sparks of the Divine actu­al­ly form that liv­ing embod­i­ment of Love.

Let us find our way through con­fu­sion and fear in the present moment by lis­ten­ing to the gen­tle voice of our High­er Self; by remain­ing in the Light of the One, by align­ing our will with the Will of the One, we will walk on the Path of Uncon­di­tion­al Love for­ev­er and ever.

Let it be so.
