| Pride Goeth Before the Fall
PRIDE IS A PROJECTION from worthlessness. As shinola, it covers a lotta shit. The truism
September brings the shift from Leo through dear Virgo and on into Libra.
... Maybe in the New Age we'll shift the calendar to correspond to the
Signs of the Zodiac and every other month we'll have a get-out-of-time-for-free
day. You could say that you were born on the fifth of Pisces instead
of saying February 26th. The psychic weather would be as well understood
as the terrestrial weather. ... Leo is the poster child for pride (by
which they even name a group of lions). Virgo is the poster child for
humility (perhaps it should be renamed Forego, as in All of the hopes and vanities and distortions of our infancy develop and cultivate in Virgo. Evolving is inherently humiliating because of the coming and going of everything whilst we attempt to trudge toward some sacred, desired direction on the Wheel that endlessly loops despite our best efforts. The bottom line is that incarnating is embarrassing in and of it self. It was spiritual pride, ala Bodhisattva or sent Angel or Doing Our Work or such, that brought the fall to Earth in the first place. The original bad feeling arises from not being your own being in the Dream, but instead we long after flickering projections in Creation of some supposed self that you are supposed to be, like your higher self and so on and on and on. This begets the chase for the good and the ultimate projection: God, which is another name for Good. This game is boring and meaningless which is why stimulation/change and meaning are all propped up and you get prodded to be prided in the purpose driven life. Go for it if you like the Dream and want your dream to come true. True dreaming just makes the Dream true. What about you? Even if you can get well evolved, there is always the lonely and confusing recognition that there's still something missing. What you miss is you. Claim your own consciousness and clear your own karma.
This is the fastest changing time of the year. The momentum of your
karma can have you feeling like things are getting away from you, especially
these days! The planets are shifting to one side of the Zodiac, more
the autumnal side (given our northerly dominant culture). Life is getting
real busy. Cultivation fosters more cults. The cults are going at it
like never before. Whether internal or external, one tribe of something
or other is going after the other tribe. Your head or the Middle East,
either way it's war. One side of the mind endlessly picks on the
other side. The world displays this. It is This time of the year elicits much activity to be some one, to succeed, to climb that ladder (that is circular). You can't stop it nor can you stop your activity on the Wheel. The spiritual vanities suggest that you can if you just purify enough or some such. If you like that endeavor, carry on and enjoy the carrion of the cycling system. If you are tired, claim your own being beyond the game of Creation. The Game will fall away from you. You'll be letting your soul go rather than retrieving it and you won't miss a thing about it. Consider this month: that you are not any of your stories or identities. Consider this month: improving your self here or beyond is the improvement of something that isn't you. Consider this month: you have choice about your being and you have choice about your life. This September is less tumultuous than the months of the last year. However, the tumult that went unprocessed for the last year will now get processed, or rather, acted out in a grandly tumultuous manner. There's a lag if you are unconscious. You won't know what's going on when it is going on, but you'll find it out later when you'll relive it over and over again. This is life and this is karma. If you aren't conscious, what came around will come around. With such massive unprocessed crap in most folks, guess what's going to be coming up. Thus the harvestness of Virgo becomes apparent. How's about not sowing or reaping? How's about being and choosing instead? There is a vast difference.
There's nothing special to report as to the unfoldment of the
month. It's business as usual but what is unusual is that all
the old, ancient crud of the psyche is upwelling. What isn't processed
gets acted out in the body and in the body politic and the body of the
planet. The deeply stirred emotions are clotting in the narrow squeeze
points like the Straits of Hormuz or the family budget/credit or elections
of the unfittest. The emotional congeals into the physical if it is
not faced. Weirder and weirder things will be taking place in people's
bodies and in the world. It becomes pointless to predict the details.
I'm more interested in reminding you of the bottom line of the
machinery of the Dream There is one elegance of play in the Planets. When Mars enters Libra on the 7th it is followed the next day by the Moon entering Aries and opposing to Mars. There is a fine window open now to have your creativity be met by your audience. You may not see anything at the time. Intention is the key. Get intentional about who you are and who you are not and about what you want and what you don't want. Feelings of impotence and indecision will be predominant. Carry on in your intention. The old stories of karma will melt in time. Your intentions will come manifest. Live your life as an art form. All the while you'll enjoy your self.
With the gates of Armageddon now open, civilization is on a traction
beam of silly sallies into sin and salvation that hav

pride going before the fall illustrates the looping of karma. If you
want to feel really good about yourself, expect to eventually feel really
bad. It all goes around. The notion of the Deity punishing you when
you get uppity is simply fancy stories piled on top of the fact that
everything goes around on the Wheel. Good will be followed by bad and
so on. This equally applies to the Deity, which is how gloriously she
begets our sorry lot. She carries our goodness/Godness and we carry
her story of low and beholden. You can't have one without the
other and you can't get to one end of the Game and expect to lop
off the other half of the Game. However, everybody (Her Highness included)
dreams in all these believed projections that you'll get to the
promised land after you graduate from the accursed land. Ironically,
once upon a time the accursed land looked like a promised land. Welcome
to incarnation.

fix it but you can fixate in it if you continually attempt to fix it.
You are not in a fix like you think. The Game is fixed and it is fixin'
to keep you lined up in it; not because it's evil or Good or whatever,
but simply because it is an elegantly designed Game that will hold you
in the loopiness forever unless you choose to dissolve your identification
in it.

with anything. The spiritual/religious and nationalistic/corporate pride
shall especially be going before the fall. They all talk in projection.
Whatever they talk about, they are actually talking about and to their
selves. Example: Bush pointing fingers at Evil Doers. Crashing and burning
in major ways are from henceforth the dominant theme. Get on with your
life. Living as you choose is more potent than jawing for changes or
wishing for the best. Be your dear and wonderful self. It cannot be
taken from you. It never comes or goes. You don't have to get
it right and you aren't wrong in any way. Be and the world be
with you. Do and you do and do in the do do while feeling like a dodo.
There's nothing, NOTHING that you have to do to be your self!
You are yourself. Claim it and clear your karma.
