The Gift of Self-Aware­ness, The Path of Awakening

These are the first three steps on the path of Awakening,

Aries = I am

Tau­rus = I am that

Gem­i­ni = What am I; and what is That?

These are the first three steps you will take, on any world, in any life and every day. In Aries, you expe­ri­ence sub­jec­tive aware­ness, you are aware of you; in Tau­rus, you expe­ri­ence objec­tive aware­ness, you are aware that you are some-thing; and in Gem­i­ni, you expe­ri­ence the cre­ative ten­sion of this essen­tial dual­i­ty of you and of all Cre­ation, that you are a You, and you are a That.

You are in your inner­most, as is all of Cre­ation, a pre­cious spark of the one Spir­it involving/evolving itself through a con­tin­u­ous stream­ing of Spir­it-Life into forms of Mat­ter. All of Cre­ation is Spir­it involv­ing itself into ever more per­fect vehi­cles of Sub­stan­tial Being, which brings ful­fill­ment to yet ulti­mate­ly lim­its the fuller real­iza­tion of Spirit.

That is because the very essence of Spir­it or Life is to Grow, to Become or Change, and there is no final form or per­fec­tion of Mate­r­i­al Being to be had. These evolv­ing innu­mer­able forms of Spir­it-Mat­ter come into being for a lim­it­ed time, and they form the Man­i­fest­ed sto­ry of the One, whose Con­scious­ness and Body is formed by all of Cre­ation togeth­er. The One Spir­it and all Mat­ter-Forms togeth­er form Cre­ation; Cre­ation is the Jour­ney of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it cease­less­ly seek­ing more ade­quate worlds, forms and lives of Self-Realization.

Yet, the very Gift of Self-Aware­ness aris­es from or is formed by this essen­tial ten­sion between Sub­ject and Object. The quin­tes­sen­tial dichoto­my between Spir­it and Mat­ter forms the exquis­ite “ecsta­sy and agony” of the twin pil­lars of Gem­i­ni, and it is this which gives birth to your won­drous gift of “Know­ing”. The fact of your essen­tial Immor­tal­i­ty mov­ing through these mor­tal forms, try­ing to evolve ever more per­fect forms, it is this which forms your “ache of the soul”, your yearn­ing of you to know, grow and become.

Your essen­tial nature as Spir­it yearns to be whole, to find a way to resolve or bridge “You and That”. This is the thresh­old you cross every time as you move through the world of Gem­i­ni; this is what pulls and tugs on all beings who have crossed from unself-con­scious forms into ever more rar­efied forms of Self-Aware Con­scious­ness. This is you tak­ing yet anoth­er step on the Path of Awakening.

You have jour­neyed for a very, very long time. Many worlds, forms and lives came before you entered this realm of being human, of your begin­ning to be Self-Aware. You entered this spe­cial phase of your Spir­i­tu­al Jour­ney, one that brings you the abil­i­ty to under­stand and have real choice, pre­cise­ly because it begins to form and forge the rain­bow bridge of light between your low­er mind and high­er rea­son­ing powers.

And, this could only be accom­plished by you also mov­ing through con­tin­u­ous­ly refined vehi­cles of self-real­iza­tion that ful­fill your need to become a being with rea­son and choice. You have come to this aware­ness, where you are able to make adjust­ments as you encounter action/reaction, as you come to under­stand cause and effect. You are here to ful­fill your Spir­i­tu­al Des­tiny; you are here to take respon­si­bil­i­ty for what you think and what you do, and par­tic­i­pate as an ever more con­scious co-cre­ator of Creation.

But, trag­i­cal­ly and inevitably, and tru­ly act­ing as the essen­tial quick­en­ing to even greater evo­lu­tion of your spir­i­tu­al poten­tial, all these vehi­cles of your mor­tal life, all these mat­ter-forms will be inad­e­quate to the Spir­i­tu­al ful­fill­ment that you are and are yet to be. The ten­sion between your Divin­i­ty and your mor­tal­i­ty con­tin­ues with you through­out your many lives as human, as you steadi­ly climb the Moun­tain of Truth and Wis­dom towards Enlightenment.

And so, you lift your eyes and look to the stars, and your cry goes out to the Universe:

“Why, why must I suffer?”

And the Stars reply:

“Because, because you are not yet what you will one day be.”

How can you bridge this unbridge­able gap between Spir­it and Mat­ter? By fol­low­ing the path of Spir­it, by lis­ten­ing to your own qui­et and lov­ing voice with­in, by shar­ing your expe­ri­ences and thoughts with those with whom you jour­ney, and by fol­low­ing the great ones who came before, whose lives and works have illu­mined this path that you fol­low too.

At the cen­ter of each par­ti­cle and mote of Cre­ation, in the cen­ter of all the mol­e­cules and atoms of your body, and in own your spir­i­tu­al heart too, there in that inner­most sanc­tum is the guid­ing pres­ence of you. It is there you will find the spark of the divine, and it is known in the Ancient Wis­dom as your Mon­ad of Spir­it-Life-Con­scious­ness. And it is this, this Divin­i­ty that is at the cen­ter of all cen­ters, it is this that gives birth to and dri­ves for­wards and upwards all of this, all that is and is becom­ing. It is your high­er self, it is your uncon­di­tion­al love, and it is also your High­er Con­scious­ness too.

What­ev­er form Spir­it takes on is ulti­mate­ly inad­e­quate to contain/express the truth of spir­it which is ever unfold­ing, ever-becom­ing some-thing more. This impass­able space, this Divi­sion of the one into the many, this is the source of your spir­i­tu­al unease. It is known as Divine Dis­con­tent, your yearn­ing to grow clos­er to the Divin­i­ty with­in and reach out­wards to the Divin­i­ty that is all around too…but how to do this. What­ev­er the form of self-real­iza­tion, it will ulti­mate­ly be unable to sat­is­fy Spirit.

But there is a Way; and the reward is great. Knowl­edge will lead to Wis­dom, and wis­dom will bring you Peace of Mind. This is the gift of Intel­li­gence; the Fruit of Rea­son is Under­stand­ing. You as “Spir­it Self-Reflec­tive”, you will move beyond your pain of dual­i­ty, and be a ful­filled Spir­it mov­ing through mate­r­i­al or mor­tal worlds, forms and lives. Yes you will still feel the ache in your soul, often more for oth­ers than for your­self, but you will also be filled with the Joy of Under­stand­ing too.

Your way through this dis­con­tent, the path­way toward peace, is by the devel­op­ment, or bet­ter put, the align­ing of your low­er mind with and by your high­er mind, with the spir­i­tu­al pres­ence found in your High­er Self. This process, this mov­ing through the por­tal of Awak­en­ing is what begins with Gemini.

Here you will find once more the Path. This Path is found in the awak­en­ing of your Gift of Intel­li­gence, and it is this that will even­tu­al­ly bring you to accep­tance and under­stand­ing. It is by Intel­li­gence and Wis­dom that you will even­tu­al­ly and con­scious­ly expe­ri­ence your One­ness with­in and the One­ness that sur­rounds you too. This is how you “meet your beloved”, for it is this Divin­i­ty with­in your­self which will keep you cen­tered in your Truth as you walk the cir­cuitous path of curios­i­ty, of ques­tions, con­trasts and com­par­isons. Yes, this is the Way of Intelligence.

But what is this gift; what is Intelligence?

Intel­li­gence is the fac­ul­ty of com­par­ing-con­trast­ing, of con­sid­er­ing the dual­i­ties the Self encoun­ters in Subject/Object, and of all the divi­sions with­in and with­out, as your spir­it cease­less­ly seeks to find a way out of divi­sion and back to the One. This is the pulse of Cre­ation on any plane of man­i­fes­ta­tion: It is The­sis ver­sus Antithe­sis, which is resolved by a more mean­ing­ful, ele­gant or beau­ti­ful Synthesis…and this unfolds con­tin­u­ous­ly, and for­ev­er and ever on all planes of existence.

But in truth, espe­cial­ly in your human form, this process of deter­min­ing what is more or less true, to sep­a­rate out (con­tin­u­ous­ly) the “wheat from the chafe” of your expe­ri­ence of real­i­ty, so that you might con­tin­u­al­ly work towards more encom­pass­ing and ele­gant answers on the Path of Life, does not, it real­ly can­not take place in separation.

Intel­li­gence and Know­ing will not func­tion by you and for your­self alone or apart from those with whom you jour­ney. As with all of Spir­it, in all of Life, we are part of the Greater Whole and we are made up by and through our inter­re­la­tion­ships with one anoth­er. The way you devel­op and engage your fac­ul­ty of rea­son­ing, the neces­si­ty for your intel­li­gence to func­tion, is through com­par­ing, shar­ing, con­trast­ing and cor­rect­ing your thought-forms in your inter­ac­tions with many, many others.

This Truth of the Way of Know­ing is revealed in your very lan­guage. The word “Con­scious­ness” is made of two words, “Con” which means “Togeth­er” and “Scious­ness” which means “Know­ing”.

Con­scious­ness means lit­er­al­ly “Togeth­er Knowing”!

You real­ly, on your own, know very lit­tle. Your way of think­ing, your cat­e­gories and labels, con­cepts and sup­po­si­tions, have been impart­ed to you by all with whom you have direct (and often indi­rect con­tact). Our thoughts are made by one anoth­er, and we are all mixed up with and entan­gled with one anoth­er. You may not wish to acknowl­edge this, but most of what you put forth as your own fact, thought or ide­al is real­ly the pass­ing on from some­one else, (who also passed that on from some­one else, and so on).

Yes, unfor­tu­nate­ly, we alone and divid­ed from one anoth­er will know lit­tle and less over time. But togeth­er, striv­ing and shar­ing we can come to under­stand a very great deal. But this requires each of us to engage with one anoth­er, to share, dis­cuss, argue, con­trast and com­bine so that we lift our thought-forms for one anoth­er. This is in fact anoth­er aspect of our love for one anoth­er. You need one anoth­er to refine your under­stand­ing and love for one another.

It is as if you are a light-beam, shin­ing your par­tic­u­lar per­spec­tive upon the mat­ter at hand. It may appear per­fect­ly illu­mi­nat­ed, but you will also cre­ate a shad­ow from this lim­it­ed point of view. You can­not know what you do not see; and, you will not see what you can­not imag­ine or under­stand. So, by hav­ing another’s point of view, by adopt­ing a dif­fer­ent per­spec­tive from your own, you can reduce the shad­ow and see the ques­tion in a more well-round­ed and com­plete man­ner. And by shin­ing many minds/lights upon the mat­ter at hand, you will slow­ly but sure­ly help one anoth­er to step out of the shad­ows and into “the Light”.

The pow­er of Intel­li­gence is the abil­i­ty to see a sit­u­a­tion more com­plete­ly, to see it whole and make it whole. Between one way of see­ing or approach­ing a prob­lem or ques­tion, and anoth­er way of see­ing the issue at hand, the Intel­li­gence seeks for the “Third Way”, the path that usu­al­ly encom­pass­es some­thing from both those oth­er ways and by so doing ris­es above them too. And though you cer­tain­ly can do this by rea­son­ing with­in and for one­self, the process is most cer­tain­ly quick­ened when two or more of you put your minds togeth­er and find a bet­ter way.

So, help one anoth­er to under­stand “That”.

Lis­ten to one anoth­er, dis­cuss and share with one anoth­er and move togeth­er into the Greater Understanding.

Give thanks to those with whom you trav­el; For they are a Light unto you.

Give thanks to those who have secured their Awak­en­ing; their exam­ple will light your way now too.

Remem­ber always, you are here to grow…

You are here to learn.

Keep ask­ing questions.

Live your life with Wonder.

Love one another.

And for­ev­er and ever,

Shine on.

 

The Bud­dha — The Path of Enlight­en­ment, The Path of Love

It seems quite appar­ent to many if not most of us, that we are going through a time of great Polit­i­cal, Eco­nom­ic, and Cul­tur­al Cri­sis. The Warp and Weave of our world seems to be com­ing undone, and the pre­servers of our way of life, the very insti­tu­tions that we expect to embody and pro­tect our very lives and loves are buck­ling and bend­ing. There is a grow­ing cho­rus for some answer, some solu­tion that will secure a way out of these shad­ows and fears that grow longer every day, we yearn to find a path­way for­ward to a bet­ter time and place.

It is clear to most of us that the divi­sions with­in and the divides between var­i­ous indi­vid­u­als and groups is at the heart of all our “trou­bles”. The fun­da­men­tal cause of our fears and woes, is to be found in our seem­ing loss of com­mon­ly held mean­ings or truths by which to find our way out of these length­en­ing fear-filled shad­ows. We grow increas­ing­ly anx­ious and des­per­ate for the gift of ever­last­ing light, we long for truth and love to shine upon us once more, so that we might bind our wounds and bring us “togeth­er as one” once more.

Fun­da­men­tal­ly, we are (yet again) in a time of a great spir­i­tu­al cri­sis. We have been here before…and the great good news is that our ances­tors found their way through in their time of unrav­el­ling too. The answer to our woes does not lie “out there”. It is not to found in some polit­i­cal reform, or eco­nom­ic pro­gram, or as some mod­ernists may hope, in a tech­no­log­i­cal “deus ex machi­na”, that will pull us back from the deep­en­ing dark­ness and doom. The answer to our self-cast shad­ows of doubts and fears is not out­side of us at all.

No, the answer always lies with­in, in each and every human heart. What we require, as always, is a spir­i­tu­al return to “source”. We need to remem­ber: “from whence have we come, and why are we here, and where are we going”. We need to restore our­selves to our soul’s true pur­pose, to remem­ber our true spir­i­tu­al nature and so calm our minds and heal our hearts.

We can do this wher­ev­er and when­ev­er we need to, by a return to our spir­i­tu­al source found in the ever­last­ing waters of life, in the spir­i­tu­al heart found in every speck and mote of cre­ation, and so equal­ly in the heart of each and every one of us. These Liv­ing Truths are also beau­ti­ful­ly pre­served and passed down in the great teach­ings of the Mas­ters or Great Souls who peri­od­i­cal­ly come forth to remind us again of these immutable truths and of our true nature.

Yes, we need to remem­ber that the answers to all our trou­bles were revealed long ago. Many of these Seers and Teach­ers are unrec­og­nized and name­less to us, known by many appel­la­tions but per­haps the best for me is their title as “The Lone­ly Ones”. For they worked (and still work) “in the shad­ows”, qui­et­ly doing the work of Spir­it where it is need­ed most, ask­ing for noth­ing but to serve.

But some were des­tined to stand pub­licly in the Halls of His­to­ry as exem­plars, as pil­lars of Strength and Truth, and we hon­or and revere these Great Souls to this day: Con­fu­cius, Lao-Tzu, Zoroast­er, Pythago­ras, Christ, and the one we con­sid­er today, The Buddha.

The fun­da­men­tal spir­i­tu­al teach­ings that form the Ancient Wis­dom, are found in the life and work of each of these mes­sen­gers. All came to reaf­firm and restate the Ancient Truths. They did not come for or intend to “start” a reli­gion, that was left to less­er souls. They came not ask­ing for devo­tions or prayers to be offered up to them, for they need them not. They came to remind you that we are all on the same path of ful­fill­ment as they fol­lowed. Their life and work is a reminder to us that we are all here for one thing only…we must all, every one of us, we must each wake up and be ful­ly human too.

That is why you can and should both lis­ten to your own heart and fol­low their exam­ple too. You are to here to ful­fill your­self and help one anoth­er to cre­ate bet­ter lives that are formed and guid­ed by Spir­i­tu­al Truth. A tru­ly human life is guid­ed by Uncon­di­tion­al Love, by kind­ness­es and con­sid­er­a­tions, because it embraces the Liv­ing Faith that we are all the “ones of the One”.

We are the cre­ators of this World and of our­selves and for one anoth­er too, and it is our true pur­pose, duty and spir­i­tu­al ful­fill­ment to make life bet­ter for one and all. Because this is “The Teach­ing” that springs from your heart and from the Wis­est of the Wise: you are insep­a­ra­ble, you are all one, so that,

“What you do to the least of these, you do to me, the One”.

You are here quite sim­ply to Love one anoth­er. This sim­ple yet pro­found Spir­i­tu­al Truth is the Foun­tain-Source, the well­spring for all our Moral Imper­a­tives towards one anoth­er, and in fact to all of Cre­ation too.

Among these “Great Souls”, the Bud­dha is held to be most spe­cial. He is said to have been “the first” of our human type to find the path to self-illu­mi­na­tion. He came and showed us how we can free our­selves from the illu­sion of mat­ter and form. He lived his life and shared the wis­dom that Life is Spir­it, and Spir­it is Life.

The fun­da­men­tal core of the Buddha’s teach­ing in the Ancient Wis­dom is this: The essence of Spir­it is to become, to evolve or real­ly to release from with­in the divine nature behind the form. Thus, the first fact of exis­tence is Change, or as the Bud­dha stat­ed, the “Law of Impermanence”.

Every­thing that exists, from the build­ing blocks of atoms, to the atoms them­selves, to ele­ments and mol­e­cules, to min­er­als, plants, ani­mals, humans, plan­ets and stars, in fact all of Cre­ation, all of these pass through the same cycle of exis­tence: Begin­ning or Birth, growth, decline and the death of that form…and then Rebirth into the next form.

This is the essen­tial eso­teric mean­ing of the Scor­pio Full Moon; it is the dynam­ic inter­play or Jour­ney of Ever­last­ing Val­ue or Spir­it-Life (Tau­rus) evolv­ing cease­less­ly through the hier­ar­chy of Mor­tal Forms (Scor­pio). It is the old sto­ry of Spir­it “falling into” mat­ter and striv­ing to return to its home with the One; yet equal­ly this is the Jour­ney of Spir­it mov­ing through all these forms of Mat­ter which lifts or evolves those mor­tal ves­sels into ever more ethe­re­al­ized forms.

This is the Dance of Spir­it; this is the Song of Life. Spir­it is One and Undi­vid­ed; Life is the Eter­nal mov­ing through ever more rar­efied forms. Though there are many, many forms, there is only one Spir­it. Mat­ter cre­ates the Illu­sion of Diver­si­ty and Separation.

Awak­en­ing-Enlight­en­ment shat­ters the divi­sion between the Know­er and the known. The indi­vid­ual dew­drop or spark of the Divine rejoic­es in Cos­mic Con­scious­ness, swim­ming through the Ocean of Life-Spirit-Consciousness.

You are on the path of Immor­tal­i­ty; mov­ing through count­less worlds, forms and lives.

Cel­e­brate tonight, as you watch the Sun set and your Moon rise; this is the dance of spir­it, this is your dance too.

Know that Spir­it is Beau­ty, and Beau­ty is Truth; that these are Eter­nal, as is the spark of the Divine that is the true heart of you.

The Les­son of the Bud­dha is to flow, to not hold or attach one­self to any par­tic­u­lar form of your­self, for these forms are not you.

Yes, live life as it is…Flowing, Grow­ing and ever Awakening.

Whether you are with a friend for one sub­lime after­noon, or with your love for many, many heart-filled years, your time togeth­er is pre­cious and so you should give of your­self to one anoth­er, share all that you can…because you know this, this is part of the bar­gain you made in mov­ing into mor­tal realms, you must also part from one anoth­er too.

But your love will hold you, keep you for one anoth­er, to the end of time. Your love will hold you to one anoth­er for Eter­ni­ty. So, when you must you will smile, and just say to one anoth­er, “fare thee well my love, until next time”.

The promise of the Full Moon of Scor­pio is the Age­less Wis­dom, it is your Free­dom from fear. For death has no hold over we Immortals:

We are ones of the One, and we are made by love.

We are ones of the One, and we are here for love.

We are ones of the One, and we are here to love.

Remem­ber, when­ev­er you are in need, or you have some doubt or feel you may even suc­cumb to fear, remem­ber always, that you are nev­er alone and have noth­ing to fear.

With­in you is the One, your high­er self, and you are equal­ly held by the love of the Wise Ones, the Lone­ly Ones and by all with whom you journey.

Cel­e­brate a fel­low one, who showed you the way, let us give thanks to the Buddha!

Remem­ber, you are on the path, be not afraid.

Have Faith, give of your­self and remain Cen­tered in the Truth that is Love.

Give thanks, and with all the Wise Ones tonight, repeat the Great Invocation:

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of light with­in the Mind of God

Let Light stream forth into our minds

Let LIGHT descend on Earth.

From the point of love with­in the Heart of God

Let Love stream forth into our hearts

May LOVE increase on Earth.

From the cen­ter where the Will of God is known

Let pur­pose guide our wills

The PURPOSE which the mas­ters know and serve.

From the cen­ter which we call Humanity

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out

And may it seal the door

where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Pow­er restore the Plan on Earth.

Astro­log­i­cal Obser­va­tions May 2017 — The Full Moon in Scor­pio (The Bud­dha Full Moon)

Today we will con­sid­er the mean­ing of the Full Moon in Scor­pio which is also known as the Bud­dha Full Moon. The rea­son for this name comes from the sto­ry of the Bud­dha, who was said to have been born in the month of Tau­rus at the Full Moon of Scor­pio, and who after much striv­ing achieved enlight­en­ment or Cos­mic Con­scious­ness at anoth­er Full Moon in Scor­pio, and final­ly, when his work was done, laid aside his phys­i­cal vehi­cle at yet anoth­er Full Moon in Scor­pio. The essence of these Teach­ings of the Bud­dha is won­der­ful­ly illus­trat­ed for us in this dynam­ic inte­gral rela­tion­ship between the Sun in Tau­rus and the Moon in Scorpio.

This cycle of the Sun and Moon, (from New Moon, to Wax­ing Square, to Full Moon, to Wan­ing Square, to the next New Moon), forms the arche­typ­al pat­tern of all the plan­e­tary cycles we expe­ri­ence here on Earth. By exam­i­na­tion, reflec­tion and cor­re­spond­ing appli­ca­tion, we can bet­ter under­stand the mes­sages and mean­ings of our unfold­ing lives as informed by these inter­weav­ing cycles of life-con­scious­ness-spir­it. This intri­cate dance of the plan­ets is the weav­ing of mean­ing formed by the spir­i­tu­al hier­ar­chies of our broth­ers and sis­ters, the beau­ti­ful plan­e­tary hier­ar­chy that is our home among the stars.

The Twelve Signs of the Zodi­ac hold the arche­typ­al myths and mean­ings to guide our jour­ney. The jux­ta­po­si­tion or reflec­tive com­par­i­son of signs that are oppo­site to one anoth­er, helps to inform or illu­mi­nate the mean­ings of them one to anoth­er. Life or Spir­it is formed by this jour­ney through the Signs, each res­onat­ing with its own mes­sages, but these indi­vid­ual mean­ings can only be tru­ly under­stood by con­sid­er­ing each one in their rela­tion­ship with its oppo­site, and then ulti­mate­ly with every oth­er sign too. Each Sign is formed and informed by the oth­er, as we do like­wise for one anoth­er here on Earth too.

As before, I will answer your ques­tions dur­ing the show, whether on this sub­ject or some oth­er mat­ter, includ­ing per­son­al ques­tions about your astro­log­i­cal chart.

The jux­ta­po­si­tion or reflec­tive com­par­i­son of signs that are oppo­site to one anoth­er, helps to inform or illu­mi­nate the mean­ings of them one to anoth­er. Life or Spir­it is formed by this jour­ney through the Signs, each res­onat­ing with its own mes­sages, but these indi­vid­ual mean­ings can only be tru­ly under­stood by con­sid­er­ing each one in their rela­tion­ship with its oppo­site, and then ulti­mate­ly with every oth­er sign too. Each Sign is formed and informed by the oth­er, as we do like­wise for one anoth­er here on Earth too.

As before, I will answer your ques­tions dur­ing the show, whether on this sub­ject or some oth­er mat­ter, includ­ing per­son­al ques­tions about your astro­log­i­cal chart. If you do wish to ask a per­son­al ques­tion, please be ready to pro­vide at least your birth date and birth place, and time of your birth if you have that too.

If you wish to sug­gest a sub­ject or top­ic for a future show, please email me as I would be hap­py to hear from you.
