Clean Up Your Reacts

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY PlanetLightworker! You were born August 11, 1999, a most auspicious date. Let me explain why...

On August 11, 1999 there was a New Moon Total Solar Eclipse in Leo within a planetary Grand Cross in the power points of the Fixed Signs (15 degrees of Taurus/Scorpio, Leo/Aquarius). This combination hadn't happened for at least 3,000 years into the past, nor will it happen for at least 500 years into the future and it may be far more rare than that but my research tools only cover that time spread. There are regular Grand Crosses in these Fixed Signs, but what was very unusual was to have a Total Solar Eclipse in such a potent formation.

Beings on and off the planet had waited and worked for a long time for this event. It was a download of new software to shift the planet from a third chakra power basis to a fourth chakra love/spirit basis. That whole summer was an ongoing Grand Cross, not in the power points, but early in the Fixed Signs. This was burning through all the accumulated resistances and veils. The actual eclipse's Moon shadow stretched from the Isles of Scilly off the Cornwall coast of the UK, cutting through the heart of Europe into Turkey and then on through Iraq/Iran and northern India. It was erasing all the old programming of the patriarchal power of the Aryan based domination by the western/northern hemisphere that has pinnacled in our time (and is now falling away in favor of China and Asia).

The download was successful. On the Millennial moment of New Year's Eve/New Year's Day 1999/2000 cusp, the new software was initiated. The Y2K silliness (with supposedly no planes flying in the sky for fear that their software would crash and so would the planes) was the necessary distraction that accompanies these shifts in civilization. It was the Y2K jelly for the new installation, which was a tall order indeed. Yeeehaaaaa!

The End of the World was scheduled for that time, but we collectively decided not to have the mass ascension of mass extinction. Instead, we will be processing the end of the world internally and externally for many years to come, in the slow lane. That's why it looks and feels the way it does these days and as it trends into the future. The personal fears around death project out as the collective fear of collective death. Remember that life on the planet has been wiped out for large numbers of species, or for the whole face of Gaia, numbers of times before. The karma of those essentially unprocessable events lands into our current era at the end of the Piscean Age. The Sign of Pisces is the last Sign of the Zodiac, the end Sign. Now that effectively we are at the end of the Piscean Age, it is archetypally the end of the end of The End. All manner of pestilence and brimstone will make loud appearances in turn, but the world won't end anytime soon. Simply the process will process in very complexed ways and people will over and over feel as if the world or their world is ending but life will go on thanks to the Energizer Bounty.

In the body, there is a veil between the third and fourth chakras: the diaphragm. It operates the breath and keeps the dirty, septic, lower, earthy stuff from getting into the heart/lungs and such of the higher Pneuma. In the collective body, there is a veil between spirit and matter. When you incarnate/disincarnate, sleep/wake and such, you move through this veil which acts as a filter so that you cannot easily see the state on the other side of the veil from where you reside. Spirit and matter are not meant to merge in Creation because they are inherent in the structures of the game of Creation. Whenever you awaken the energy in matter ala E=MC2 or whenever you awaken the spirit in your material form... kapowie! It's the Bomb or it's the Balm, but either way it's a big deal with lots o' drama. The dissolution of the veil between the third and fourth chakras, between spirit and matter, made possible a mass spiritual ascension to higher dimensions and for the higher dimensions of spirit to descend into matter for the creation of heaven on Earth.

There was an unforeseen consequence of our collective intention to clear the veil between spirit and matter. At the moment the veil burned off, one could see into the spiritual dimensions without filtering/forgetting and what could be seen is that the beings upstairs in the ascended realms were just as unconscious as beings down here and it blew up the Game. As above, so below has been an esoteric teaching for a long time. But because of the ignorance of the lower mind and the higher mind what wasn't seen was: as below, so above. If we're goofy down here, so are they upstairs. Everybody went into shock. The jig was up.

The main distraction game in Creation is the endless cycling from material into spiritual into material forever and ever amen. The mind, be it spirit mind or material mind, always suggests that you can end suffering by getting to one end of the polarity, like getting to the Light at the end of the tunnel. This only maintains tunnel vision with the nervous assurance that some where some time the Light will come. Rots a ruck... It will come and it will go. The Big Wheel keeps on turnin' and the karma keeps on churnin'. The promised land proceeds beyond in the projections and you can chase after it, but it'll always project to the beyond. Heaven will be a hell on the way to another heaven beyond. God's gotta always have a god, etc. This is what are current era offers at the end of the Piscean Age. You can see the machinery of the Dream and realize that it just cycles, period. Are you tired yet? If so, claim your own consciousness as who you are and clear your own karma. You have nothing to lose except suffering. It's your choice. Nothing right or wrong about it. It's just your choice.

To the month of August 2006 at hand...

The Gates of Armageddon are now open. The insanity of the Middle East has gone ballistic. It always has been ballistic but now arrives the end game of it all. The ride will last a good twenty years or perhaps you'd call it a bad twenty years. Drama is the dharma of karma. If you like it, you're gonna have butt loads of it. If you clear karmically by direct intention, the drama will happen but you won't be sucked into it in identification. The drama largely will not stick to you. It'll be the noise in the background, but you won't have to be crushed in the stampede.

There's several hundred million fundamentalist Christians on the planet intending precisely the same scenario. This has the coherency of a laser and therefore the collective is powerfully steered by this mass intention. In order for the fundamentalist Christians to get to heaven, they have to have the world go to hell. Certain aspects of the Muslim community see some similar drama and some Jews chime in with the First Coming of their Messiah. Collectively they all are putting the mess in Messiah. Messianic Ages are messy. In the New Age, in the Aquarian Age, everybody gets to be the messiah, avatar, god, Oneness and so on. How's about everybody just being their selves? How's about being? The Less of S'mores roasting on the fires of global warming offer the opportunity to tell scary stories while we let go of wretched excess. If we stop and smell our neuroses, we may have an opportunity to stop and smell the roses too.

As the month of August proceeds, more will be revealed. Efforts to make peace manifest war. War can lead to peace. But the peace of the inner or outer worlds always come and go. Claim your own consciousness and you will realize the peace of your own being without the comings and goings and trappings of the dharma karma drama.

The Sun and Saturn conjunct at the power point of Leo on the 7th while squaring to Jupiter. The battle of haves and have-nots will be exploding. So also... the fight over who owns the Truth and The God and such will be evidently absurd and bloody. The heartbreak of sore tribalness will fester and folly. The identification in the games of power, be they material, religious or spiritual, begets the very thing that power covers: powerlessness. This is the very stuff that all of uncivilization gags on. The bones of contention stick in the throats of clear expression. There is dominoeing in the political/religious affiliations and this daisy chain blooms into strange fruit. It's all the same old story but the old story can now be faced consciously! The dregs of flight and fright are churning in the collective and personal adrenals and the battle royale will rage until the players say enough. Yikes! Getting keel hauled under these ships of state lead by heads of state out of their heads leads to the mess that requires messiah. All messiahs come with mess and this one is the messiest of them all. They actually unconsciously create the mess that they then purport to clean up for the followers and that process leaves a further mess all around. I suggest that you drop your messiahs and promised lands and take responsibility for your own dilemmas. Be yourself and play with the old powerless feelings and beliefs and drop the powerlessness of higherpowering. It just makes an endless mess of things.

On the 9th there's a Full Moon aligned with Neptune which amplifies and exclamates the above. This dandy war hole cans the soup and the poverty and pestilence line up for more. Gad zooks! Denial will get you more. Transcendence will double that. Be. Face your own shadow. Clean up your reacts. If you're looking for a savior or looking to save, all you can save is more drama for another daze. Drop the magic bullet. Give up gunning for trouble or shooting the moon. You've been saved more times than you can remember and it never finally got rid of suffering.

Come mid month, Mars in Virgo opposes to Uranus in Pisces roughly square to Pluto in Sagittarius. All manner of old master/slave gunk is upchucking. Let's hand out some sincere and deep apologies for oppression and make amends through some genuine reparations. It won't fix what happened, but it'll further the dissolution of fixating on the endless rounds of victim and tyrant. On the 15th the Moon passing through Taurus reconstitutes the Grand Cross. This is a window when so much can be burned off from this hateful mess that is cauldroning. Let go of all the drama! The 15th is Sri Aurobindo's birthday upon which India's Independence Day was placed in honor of his early and key efforts to oust the British Raj that Ghandi finished off with his leadership of collective resistance. India is awakening but it's cycling terror with the Muslim community and all the other intense complications of that area of the world can lead to nuclear lobbing. This remains the most dangerous place on the planet. It's time to take the infidel out of the infidelity. India can pull it off. Its increase in material wealth, if it is shared amongst its vast population, could institute a most important democracy in actuality rather than in cruel coverup of obscene wealth. If this mass of humanity can tend to all of its humanity instead of continually shoving its head up its crown chakra, the syndromes of oppression have a real chance of melting.

On the 15-16th, there's a stellium in Leo. Moon, Venus, Saturn, Mercury and the Sun are all in the Big Kitty. Take some time to purr. Play. Kid kindly. Laugh and the world laughs with you and cry and the world will cry with you too. Our being is inherently present with the upsets that pass through our bodies and personalities. Embrace without belief. Be with instead of projecting your unhealed inner child tantra of tantrums upon the other. Giggle under the covers where the silly bits await being touched with clear kindness.

Fun is available all month if you just let go of the drama and dharma addictions. Do what you want and you won't be conflicted with your own self and thereby have to live it out upon a lovely world.

Virgo shows up with a New Moon in the Sphinx Point of its first degree. Don't buy into Silence. It only covers the noise. The peace of your own being supersedes it and does not draw in noise. Accept the suffering of the human condition with whatever humor you can muster and kvetch if you like. No harm in that. Complain, but with some responsibility for your victimesque condition. Let go of striving for perfection. There ain't no such thing. Let mistakes happen and be present when they do so that you can make a new choice.

No worries mate,
Mark
