What is the center of you?
Today we move through one of the four portals of the Zodiac, one of four cardinal realms in this Circle of the Living Ones, who are the Lords of Fire, Earth, Air and Water. And whenever you move through one of these cardinal signs, you are guided and inspired to find the way to your true self.
Now you enter the sacred space of Cancer, that most special realm where you feel your way to the center of your being. Here you go inward, so that you may remain centered in your truth and draw upon the many sources that form your journey through time and space. But what will you find as you go to the root of you, exactly what is at the center of you?
Your center is forged in the story of Spirit-Life-Consciousness, it is the story of Creation, and it is the Life of the One. You and the entirety of Creation are essentially formed of Spirit, you are a spark of the Divine, a Light made of Love.
Guiding this unfolding story of the One is the Zodiac, which is really the fundamental field of energy-forms that form the Design Body of the Universe. This field of energy-forms creates what we understand as the subtle body for all beings in the universe, whether they be an atom, molecule, organism, planet, star or galaxy. The signs of the Zodiac are the Twelve Dimensions of the One and only Spirit.
There is a very real hierarchy in Creation, from the most infinitesimal of particles on up through the planets and stars. All of it is Spirit-Matter that is becoming something more, shaped, informed and guided by the Twelve. For us humans here on Earth, we are each held in our own auric field of the Zodiac, which is in turn aligned to the greater aura of our Earth, which in turn is aligned with zodiacal auric field of our Solar System, and then to the zodiacal field of our Galaxy. Each of these “zodiacs” is part of the One, and all are aligned to and correspond with one another.
The illusion of the material world is that everything is separate and apart from one another, and that we have to find and forge the connections or relationships between all these “things” and between one another too. But truly all of Creation is held within the Divine Space of the One, which means that we are, in so many wonderful forms and dimensions, inseparably related already. Actually, we are made of and by all of our weaving together with one another, growing together, becoming together, and with all of the rest of Creation too. The ordering of the Universe is formed by and held by the One, the One “whose Center is Everywhere, and whose Circumference is Nowhere”.
But, now in this time of Cancer, and forever present in your own space of Cancer too, you need to remember this story of your roots, of the meaning of Cancer in your life. You need to make your way to the center of you, and to do this you will, and you must, enter the world of intuition, and allow your feelings to guide you, as you move beyond what is known by mind and into what can only be experienced and shaped by your heart. You do this most deeply by following the gentle whispers which come from your own spark of the divine, your immortal light within your mortal frame.
What you will find is that the roots of you are deep and wide, stretching back into the mists of time, formed by many lives and shaped by so many experiences with others. You feel the memories and experiences in the enduring connection to the ever-present Archetypes, to lives lived long ago and to living beings here and now too. You feel and know Father-Mother, Grandmother-Grandfather, the warm embrace of all your present and past relations, who were and are the web of life that bring you back to your roots, back to the familiar space of being from somewhere, from someone, some people, in the just before and long, long ago.
Here in Cancer, in the vessel of your memories, the river of life and meaning that flows backwards into the mists of the past, and forward into what you shall someday become, you find your center, your ever-present sense of being on this great journey, with a host of fellow explorers singing our songs as sparks of the Divine, searching, seeking, caring and loving to be, someday, a star among the countless stars.
Here at the root of Creation, here in the shining light of your dear heart, what you will find at the center of you is the source of life. It is the spark of the Divine which is your true self, the center which is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere, and you will feel the essential truth of spirit, that we are all related, that we are because we care, because we love.
This is the truth of Cancer, that your origin is your destiny too.
And that you are here to love and be loved.
As always, Bill.. most beautifully , clearly said… Many thanks!
