Sun Enters Gemini (May 21, 2019)

The Path of Awak­en­ing 

When did you “wake-up”?
How do you know what you know?
What does it mean to be “Intel­li­gent”?
 

The sto­ry of Spir­i­tu­al Fire, the Light of Con­scious­ness, is found all over the world. Many, many ages ago the so-called “gods” walked among us. They came at the appoint­ed hour, for it was their hon­or and priv­i­lege to pass on the pre­cious Light of Self-Aware­nessAs it had been giv­en to them in an age long before our own, it was now their turn to pass this gift down to us; it was their sacred duty and hon­or to pass on the “Fire” that we know as our most pre­cious gift of self-aware­ness.  

Their names are numer­ous, but the sto­ry that is told is much the same around the world. We call them “myths”, these tales of Prometheus, Lucifer, Quet­zal­coatl, Loki and the Kumaras. The heart of this sto­ry reaf­firms and reminds us that we humans are part of a great rib­bon of Light, Love and Con­scious­ness, that stretches back­wards and for­wards, through Time and Space. All of Spir­it-Life-Con­scious­ness is on this nev­er-end­ing jour­ney of self-becom­ing, and one of the most crit­i­cal steps in that jour­ney was reached by us humans in this moment that her­ald­ed the begin­ning of our self-aware­ness. 

Their Light was passed onto us, and so they part­ly live on through us; just as you and I are made of one anoth­er too. In all the realms, from the phys­i­cal, through the emo­tion­al and the men­tal on up through the Spir­i­tu­al, through­out all these hierarchies of Ener­gy-Forms, you will con­stant­ly find that the great­est illu­sion you will need to break is the one which makes it seem as if every­thing is sep­a­rate and apart from every­thing else. 

The Truth is One; that there is but One Spir­it and each and every part of cre­ation is in some way formed, shaped, fash­ioned and brought into ever high­er self-real­iza­tions through the com­plex web of rela­tion­ships that form the entire hier­ar­chy of Spir­it-Life-Con­scious­ness. 

You cer­tain­ly have made you, but you are real­ly made and com­posed by a host of oth­ers too. From your par­ents and your sib­lings, from your class­mates and your col­leagues, and most cer­tain­ly by your dear­ly loved ones too, all of their feel­ings, thoughts and actions have become part of you, as yours has become an inte­gral part of them. We are all made of one anoth­er; we all need one anoth­er to be who and what we are, for with­out one anoth­er we would not be. 

What you know and how you know is formed by all with whom you jour­ney, in the present life, and all those many lives that came before too. You are made of all these sto­ries that we have told one anoth­er since we woke up. We told our sto­ries of where to find food, how to make fire, and how to avoid dan­ger. We laughed and cried, and shared our sto­ries and our love with one anoth­er. We made one anoth­er and are all in one anoth­er in large part because of these sto­ries we shared with one anoth­er. 

Yes, you and I made one anoth­er and this most cer­tain­ly includes our thoughts, our ideas, and that won­drous fac­ul­ty we call our Intel­li­gence. Many may think that Intel­li­gence is found­ed and formed by expe­ri­ence and knowl­edge, and so that the more you know, and the more that you can do is the way in which mea­sure how intel­li­gent you are. But this is not intel­li­gence at all. 

Our Intel­li­gence, which is an essen­tial part of our Self-Aware­ness, is one of the gifts we hon­or at this time of year, as we move through the realm of Gem­i­ni. The real essence of true Intel­li­gence is this: It is the abil­i­ty to con­sid­er the matter/question/situation or object being observed from mul­ti­ple points of views or per­spec­tives. It is quite sim­ply the facil­i­ty of your mind to move its focus around and con­sid­er what­ev­er you are try­ing to under­stand from more than one angle. 

I like to say that our aware­ness is like a light illu­mi­nat­ing the mat­ter before us. We shine a very bright light, and it seems we are see­ing so very clearly…but we are also, from assum­ing a par­tic­u­lar point of view or per­spec­tive, equal­ly cre­at­ing and cast­ing some very dark shad­ows of what we can­not see, of what we can­not know or under­stand. We are in fact blind­sided again and again by our par­tic­u­lar point of view. 

That is where “Intel­li­gence” comes in, and by it we are able to move our mind’s eye around to con­sid­er mat­ters from over here, and then over there, from above and below (and even from inside), and in so doing we slow­ly but sure­ly elim­i­nate the shad­ows and come to a more com­plete know­ing. 

When we are shad­owed, we often become stuck. The issue or chal­lenge seems almost bina­ry, there is only “this way” or “that way” to address the issue, and often nei­ther of them are “good”. But when we break out of our self-cast shad­ows and move our mind by intel­li­gence to con­sid­er mat­ters from many angles, often the prob­lem goes away or an ele­gant solu­tion is revealed. 

This is the Gift of Gem­i­ni, the gift of curios­i­ty, the adept­ness formed by being contrary and think­ing “out­side the ordi­nary”, the essen­tial need of an awak­ened mind to Ques­tion everything…it is the Gift of Intel­li­gence and it one of the prin­ci­ple instru­ments that dri­ve your sto­ry of the Self-That-Is-Becom­ing. 

We all have Gem­i­ni in us; some­where in your nature there is that need to ques­tion, to not set­tle for the ordi­nary or expect­ed point of view; to con­sid­er a mat­ter from a dif­fer­ent angle; to adopt a point of view and debate the issue, and then, to turn “on a dime” and be able to argue the exact oppo­site point of view too. That is what Gem­i­ni and your Intel­li­gence is about; what a gift of spir­it to be open to the won­der of it all. 

This is the time to cel­e­brate Gem­i­ni. To ask why, and why not. 

The abil­i­ty to hold two, exact­ly oppo­site points of view, and then some­how to find anoth­er. 

It is the gift of Intel­li­gence, and it is the key to your awak­en­ing. 

Always and for­ev­er,  

Keep shin­ing. 

Sun Enters Taurus (April 20, 2019)

The Source of Value

What is the val­ue of you?
How do you find the way to your measure?
Do you under­stand what makes you “you”?

The Spir­i­tu­al approach to under­stand­ing these (and many oth­er pro­found ques­tions) will inevitably lead you upon a “rad­i­cal jour­ney of dis­cov­ery”, (“rad­i­cal” because the heart and true mean­ing of “rad­i­cal” means going to the “ori­gin”, so that such a jour­ney takes you to “the root of one and All”). All Spir­i­tu­al dis­cov­ery, any true Awak­en­ing will bring you clos­er to the core of the your­self, and like­wise to the heart of every­thing else too.

Because it is here, at the “Cen­ter that is Every­where, and whose Cir­cum­fer­ence is Nowhere”, it is here at the Root of all, that you will find the answer to the fun­da­men­tal ques­tion of what is behind all of “THAT”, and so equal­ly what makes you “you”.

You will under­stand the Truth of where you come from, and you will smile, because you know and you feel this to be true, in your mind and in your heart, as it is lov­ing­ly affirmed by the gen­tle whis­pers of your own High­er Self. You will feel and know, that this truth is so sim­ple yet so utter­ly pro­found, that the entire Uni­verse is sim­ply the One.

That Spir­it or the One is the source of all Light and Love, and it shines through the entire­ty of Cre­ation, from the most infin­i­tes­i­mal to the great­est of beings. This Light and Love is found in the core or heart of every speck and mote, of each and every par­ti­cle and being, on up to the great­est lords form­ing every plan­et, star and galaxy too.

This is Truth: The Whole of Cre­ation is Alive and Con­scious, for it is quite sim­ply the body, heart, mind and all-encom­pass­ing spir­it of the One.

Yes, the Truth shines through all this Uni­verse, and you will know and feel this because you and the All are insep­a­ra­ble from one anoth­er; just as you are each one of many ones, and each of you are inti­mate­ly and inte­gral­ly made of and by one anoth­er too.

You are not a “thing”; you are a field of Ener­gy-Forms; a Hier­ar­chy of Spir­it-Mat­ter. You live in the Truth that behind the phe­nom­e­na of all the realms of life, behind all of this, is the Val­ue behind all of “That”. What holds the whole of Cre­ation togeth­er as One, what gives Life to the many that form Life-Spir­it Con­scious­ness, is pure­ly and sim­ply the Uncon­di­tion­al Love of the One.

Today you begin the month of Tau­rus, and some­where in your chart you have some part of you that res­onates with this fun­da­men­tal truth car­ried by Tau­rus. The les­son and strength of Tau­rus is found­ed upon this immor­tal truth of your worth…that your val­ue is tru­ly beyond mea­sure, you are “price­less”. Because you (and quite frankly all) of cre­ation are formed from and by the very essence of the One, you are for­ev­er one with Spirit.

But of course, the ordi­nary expe­ri­ence of your val­ue will vary con­sid­er­ably from day to day and year after year. Some days you feel on top of the world, and on some you may feel as if the world is on top of you! Regard­less, even as the arc of your life and the val­ue of you wax­es and wanes it will sure­ly bend towards the inevitable, as the phys­i­cal strength of youth will yield to the gifts of spir­i­tu­al wis­dom as you age.

Indeed, this very arc of your life, of pow­ers wax­ing then wan­ing, brings the fun­da­men­tal truth home to you, that you will only find ever­last­ing peace in the val­ue that will nev­er diminish.

In the very heart of you, you remain as you will always be, the source of all mea­sure, beyond all mea­sure. Yes, you are human now, but that is mere­ly the form of your self-real­iza­tion at this point in your nev­er-end­ing jour­ney. You are a spark of the Divine who is on a nev­er-end­ing jour­ney of the “Self-That Is Becom­ing”. You are a mon­ad, an unfold­ing Spir­i­tu­al Fire of Life-Spirit-Consciousness.

Yes, it is in Tau­rus that you appre­ci­ate the Divine made real, the infi­nite poten­tial of Spir­it made to shine in the flow­ers and trees, in the oceans and moun­tains, in the moon and the stars…and in you.

Behind it all, shin­ing through one and through all,

Is pure, uncon­di­tion­al love.
