Who, What, How, Where…
There are four turnings you will make every year. These four gateways mark the seasons of life in the Circle of the Living Ones, forming the “four corners” of the Zodiac and your life. Today you enter a most special moment in our Zodiacal year, today you enter the realm that is the root-source of you, as you find your way beyond mere knowing, by feeling the presence of the Light Divine shining in the heart of you, and truly in the heart of every being that forms this beautiful Creation.
The first four signs of the Zodiac create the foundation for your journey through the Stars. These first four of the sacred twelve hold the primal questions and answers to your Journey of Awakening, which is your ever widening, ever deepening, self-luminous circulation through the stars.
It is in Aries that we experience the beginning of the circle of life. Aries forms the experience of the re-emergence of your spirit into a new form of beingness. In Aries you consider the first question of life, which is “Who am I?”. Then it is in Taurus that your initiation of being becomes manifest in countless forms of self-realization, as you are made aware that “you are you” by becoming many, many “some-things”, and you consider the second question of life, which is “What am I?”. Then by Gemini, you move inwardly and outwardly, making, finding, and connecting the “who you are” and the “what you are” into a host of relationships within yourself and to the world around you too, as you consider the third question of life, which is “How am I?”.
But today you move through the next turning of the Zodiac, today you enter a new season of Spirit as you experience a most special realm of your being, as you must now move beyond what you merely know. Why? Because it is by this wondrous realm of feelings that you will find the answer to the most consequential question of them all, which is “Where do I come from?”.
The question of origin has been before every spark of the divine who has become self-aware, which for you was long, long ago. Whether outwardly met in the halls of the Ancient Wisdom or inwardly felt in the whispers of your heart, you hear and feel the truth behind all the countless lives that form Creation, which is this. Our story is part of the Life of the One, the Story of Creation, which is the story of Spirit-Life-Consciousness. Shaping and 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 the subtle body for all beings in the universe, ranging from the monads at the heart of all, to Atoms, Molecules, Organisms, Planets, Stars, Galaxies and finally to the source of all, which is the One. The Zodiac is the Noumena behind all the Phenomena of Creation, like a field of meanings behind all manifestations in this Universe, a spiritual-electro-magnetic field of energy-forms. What we actually experience in our physical world of forms is a Hologram, where intersecting energy-fields are aligned and formed into patterns of meaning that create the matter-forms or bodies that we experience as substantial and real.
But now you enter this eternal space, what are you to experience in this first realm of the “holy waters”, what is it that forms and stands behind the essential nature of Cancer? The answer you will find in Cancer is “where do I come from”, from where did this energy-form we call our feelings come, and how do these intimations help us to find the center of ourselves, and to feel ourselves in one another, and to feel our deep connection to our entire world. Cancer holds the source of our nature, as we move in and out with our feelings, to experience the truth of ourselves as being one and whole, and as we equally open our hearts to care for one another too. Yes, all of the water signs deal with this fundamental truth, that we are all connected to one another, cared for by one another, and shaped by one another, because we are made and guided by this love, by our feelings, by the ever-burning light of the divine in us, by the Love of the One that we are.
What you will find by Cancer is that the roots of you are deep and wide, stretching back into the mists of time, formed by many lives and shaped by the infinite variety of experiences with others. You feel by these memories and experiences the enduring connection to ever-present Archetypes, to lives lived long ago and to all living beings in the here and now too. You feel Father-Mother, Grandmother-Grandfather, Sister-Brother and the warm embrace of all your present and past relations. You feel and know the web of life that brings you back to your roots, back to the familiar space of being from somewhere, being from someone who cares, as you now feel and care, of being and belonging to some people, then to many peoples, and truly to the One, in the present day, and just before this life, and so very long ago too.
Yes, in Cancer, the vessel of your memories, you swim in the river of life and meaning, which flows backwards into the mists of time, and forward into what you shall one day become. You feel and know that you are secured to your center, nourished by your origin and guided to your sense of being part of a great journey, with a host of fellow sparks of the divine, all singing our songs, searching, seeking, and caring and loving to be, as we are destined to be some day, a star among the countless stars.
By Cancer, you will feel and find your way to your center, to the Divine “Whose Center is Everywhere, and whose Circumference is Nowhere”. In Cancer we understand that we came from the One, and that this spark of the Divine is our true self, and we are here because of love that is forever and ever to the end of days.
You are here because of love, and we are here to love one another.
Where do you come from?
From Divine Love.
