The Way of Truth 

You have sung for the joy of Union,

and wept heart­felt tears for your Loss­es too.

You have sought that sweet promise, the Self-Transcendent,

For though Immor­tal, you still struggle…

To Under­stand and Mas­ter this Mor­tal Way.

Hav­ing scaled the heights and plumbed the Depths of your Feel­ings for one anoth­er, you have need to see all of this now in a more super­nal light, you look for some way to make sense, you search for greater clar­i­ty in the joy and solace for your pain…you seek the way that leads to Peace.

You must ever strive to reach a high­er, more encom­pass­ing view…And, if you wish to Under­stand, you will need to let go of what you think you know, for only by this will you find a way to a more accept­ing and inclu­sive path…Only by this will you find an answer…and if you assent and if you accept… well, then you will tru­ly Grow.

You must take your leave of Water now, and enter this last of the Realms of Fire, you will enter this Sanc­tum of Seren­i­ty, the way that is known as Sagittarius.

Now you will walk in the Halls of Wis­dom, and you will bow down before Sages and Seers. For though your jour­ney is your own sweet song of Spir­it, and you are here to make it authen­tic and true, you should know that many have come this way before and they sought what you long for too…

These ques­tions of life are the ever-return­ing reminders that in your essence you are a Sparkling Star of unfold­ing, awak­en­ing Self-Aware­ness. That your jour­ney is encom­passed with­in an ever-evolv­ing Hier­ar­chi­cal Host, seen as a won­drous Rib­bon of Light, in which you are as a drop in a con­tin­u­ous stream of Life-Consciousness-Spirit…And because this is the Jour­ney of Spir­it, a spi­ral­ing and nev­er-end­ing pro­ces­sion through time and space, count­less ones have come before you as they sought and won their way to a Greater Understanding…and because of this, because of what and who they became, you will find their Gift of the Spir­it, their offer­ing of Solace and Seren­i­ty for you.

Whether in the Halls of Sci­ence or Phi­los­o­phy, or in the Cat­a­combs of Reli­gion or Law, there abides behind them all the Ancient Teach­ings which form the true Foun­tain Source of Under­stand­ing. These teach­ings are revered and pre­served by those who form the Van­guard of Wis­dom and Love, for it is they who hold and pass on these Peren­ni­al Teach­ings that have been the hid­den Trea­sure, the Pearl of Great Price for count­less Ages.

It is your time to dip your cup of seek­ing into this Well of Wis­dom, to bet­ter explain and under­stand what you have expe­ri­enced thus far in your jour­ney. For you have need to har­vest the mean­ing of your expe­ri­ences so that you can accept and pre­pare for what is yet to come…

Yet, it is equal­ly true and won­drous that you are here to add your mea­sure of truth to this Well of Wis­dom too. For every sto­ry is a trea­sure that must be told, every hard-earned les­son should be shared to help anoth­er upon their path…For the core of the Teach­ing is that you are nev­er alone and that as you have been helped, so must you offer what help you can too.

You will expand your frames of ref­er­ence, find­ing much delight in those so-called for­eign ways. Though remind­ing you of your com­mon needs and nature and yet how you dif­fer in the way those needs are met, you will be giv­en by these con­trast­ing views a clear­er sense of your own ways of being, and how this forms and informs the way of you. 

The Wis­dom you seek is found in many forms and in many spaces. In halls of learn­ing and with those wise ones, yes. But also in the sim­ple yet ele­gant exam­ples found in the beau­ties of Nature, in Forests and Fields, in the rhythms of the Sea­sons, and the cycling of the Sun and Moon and Stars…and in that sim­ple neces­si­ty of learn­ing to live in har­mo­ny with your world.

The Wis­dom you seek is all around, and resides deep with­in you too…

And, if you sin­cere­ly seek for this guidance…

Then a way will open…

Your answer will come,

In the Light of a Dawn­ing Day.

The Path of Spirit

The Peren­ni­al Truth.…in Ever-Chang­ing Forms

The Absolute…in Time and Space

Divine Love…seen through one and All

The Way, the Path…

To Hold, to Let Go…To Grow Forever.

Your jour­ney through the Stars, your Self-Unfold­ment in Time and Space has brought you to this won­drous time, this most crit­i­cal moment in your Spi­ral Jour­ney upon this lumi­nous Hier­ar­chi­cal Rib­bon of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it. The Beings who fol­low after you as well as those who extend a help­ing hand from above, they trem­ble with awe and rev­er­ence for what you face now…For the Human King­dom of life forms is most spe­cial, for here you have reached “The Cross­ing” of the Spir­i­tu­al Jour­ney, here you face the Awe­some Challenge…For here you are giv­en the great Gift of Choice, here you will learn, for you must learn this here, you will learn to Choose to do the Good, here you will choose to face down your fears, it is here that you choose to Love.

The beings who fol­low you, they have not yet ful­ly come into their self-reflec­tive aware­ness, they do what is right because of what you call instinct (the guid­ance of their Group Soul), and those Shin­ing Ones ahead of you, well for them they made their choice long ago, and part of that choice was their sacred deci­sion to abide on this side of Cre­ation and extend their help­ing hand for you…for in the end it is only this…it is All about learn­ing to Love, you are here to choose Love.

This Full Moon in Tau­rus is the com­pan­ion, the nec­es­sary com­pli­ment and “answer” to the Full Moon in Scorpio…For that is the way of this, each and every Sign and Plan­et are in a won­drous Poly­phon­ic Har­mo­ny of Song and Dance with one anoth­er. They are of and form a Whole by inte­grat­ing, com­pli­ment­ing, inform­ing and bal­anc­ing one another.

Each Full Moon illus­trates a Great Truth that you must know and live, each pro­vides you with anoth­er mark­er so that you may stay true, to hold to that One True Path, The Way.

The Full Moon in Scor­pio six months ago was offered to help you, lov­ing­ly embod­ied in the great Exem­plar and teach­ing of The Bud­dha, so that you might Under­stand and Accept the tran­sient nature of your Phys­i­cal Forms and Life Expe­ri­ences that you will encounter upon these many Worlds and Forms through which you trav­el. For you must accept the Wis­dom to find and fol­low this Noble Path of Non-Attach­ment. Your True and Abid­ing Nature is Spir­it, and though you will pass through many, many Times and Spaces, your nev­er-end­ing jour­ney is beyond any Fixed Form of Self-Becoming.

This Full Moon in Tau­rus offers anoth­er of these annu­al gifts that mark your Jour­ney through the Stars. For as much as you need to accept and under­stand the ephemer­al nature of these worlds of Mat­ter when the Sun is sweep­ing through that most Earthy Realm of Tau­rus, you need this Lov­ing Offer­ing of Tau­rus now to find your way in this time of Water, in this Realm of Scor­pio. As you face the Joys of Union and the Pains of Sep­a­ra­tion and Loss, as you seek to find your way when all is Chang­ing and you fear there is noth­ing that will last, you need to know that there is Hope and there is Light, for there is an Abid­ing Love that will nev­er fade away.

The Mes­sage for you is this: That as much as these worlds of Man­i­fes­ta­tion are Ephemer­al and Tran­si­to­ry, they are also the very embod­i­ment of the One made man­i­fest by and through the many. These Hosts of Light and Con­scious­ness form the Radi­ant Rai­ment, the Robe of Glo­ry of the Divine that resides at the heart of each Spark of the Divine, for each is a Self-Unfold­ing Pres­ence, each is an ever becom­ing Life-Con­scious­ness Spirit…and you are one of these ones…

For at the Core of every sin­gle instance, at the heart of every Infin­i­tes­i­mal Speck of Cre­ation there resides the One, the Spark of the Divine, who you know and you will feel, and so you will Smile and you will Sing for Joy, for you shall live for­ev­er and ever in this Pure Uncon­di­tion­al Love.

This is your Destiny…

To be the Ever-Chang­ing, Yet Changeless…

To Be, and Not to Be…

To be One, and to be Many…

To be Love, and be Loved.

As it is was invoked six months ago at the Sacred Turn­ing of the Full Moon of Scor­pio, and should be lived and reside in the Heart of all of the Ones of the One through every step in their jour­ney, hold now in your mind and heart and may your steps be guid­ed by 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.

You are the Dreamer…

You are the Creator…

You are the Archi­tect and the Builder,

You are the Cause and the Effect,

You are the Sleep­er who is Waking…

To the Dawn of your New Day.

I wrote about this shift of sub­lime ener­gies in the 2013 Fore­cast:

Nep­tune Direct (Novem­ber 13 until June 9, 2014)

The Lord of Faith and Imag­i­na­tion bids you bring your dreams into Reality…You have been trav­el­ling upon those inner path­ways of Inspi­ra­tion, but now Nep­tune will show you the ways in which you can weave those numi­nous webs of what might be into your Real­i­ty. 

You have dreamed and imag­ined much in the past 5 months, as Nep­tune in ret­ro­grade encour­aged you to turn your awe­some pow­ers of Clear-See­ing Illu­mi­na­tion back upon your­self. This was so that you might re-con­sid­er the ways in which you per­ceive your­self, to dis­cern and grow in wis­dom, to pierce beyond the Illu­sion and be hum­bled by the Insight of your true nature.

For it is only from this Greater Self-Aware­ness, only by remov­ing anoth­er lay­er formed by your Assump­tions and Mis­per­cep­tions, only by approach­ing your High­er Self with Greater Humil­i­ty and Faith, only in this Path­way of Self-Per­fec­tion can you pre­pare your­self for what you are meant to be. For by Seek­ing, Striv­ing and Gain­ing this Self-Knowl­edge you are then pre­pared to address with Brighter Beams of Illu­mi­nat­ing Wis­dom these Won­drous but Illu­sion­ary Worlds through which you must travel.

Clear­er now, wis­er now…Lord Nep­tune, your Avatar of Illu­mi­na­tion who helps you to dis­solve the Illu­sions of Sep­a­ra­tion, your Blue Orbed Mys­ti­cal Muse is call­ing upon you now to turn more of your Dream­ing-Clear-See­ing pow­ers upon the world around you. For as much if not more than your mis­con­cep­tions of your­self, those shift­ing pat­terns of appear­ances are great­ly mag­ni­fied by the myr­i­ad con­fu­sions that will be encoun­tered when you attempt to under­stand one another.

Nep­tune, as before, will offer aid and com­fort here. For as much as you need­ed to for­give your­self, to let go of your mis­un­der­stand­ings about your true nature, you must equal­ly approach the ques­tion of the one before you with even greater Humil­i­ty and Grace. Nep­tune reminds you that what divides you from one anoth­er is so much less than what holds you to each other.

For Nep­tune is the Avatar of Spir­i­tu­al Love, found­ed upon the Awe­some Truth that you are of One Spir­it, you are of and for one anoth­er, and that the Source of Light and Truth in this Uni­verse, what holds all of Cre­ation togeth­er is this Love, this force that Binds one and all to the One Everlasting.

You must lead with Nep­tune now, you will lead with Com­pas­sion and Kind­li­ness, for this is the only path you can take if you are to tru­ly meet one anoth­er as it was, is and will always be, in Spir­it and Truth. You must humbly look beyond your mis­con­cep­tions and lit­tle dif­fer­ences and see the Greater that is there before you, for what you behold is but a Mir­ror and Muse of your own true nature.

You must look with Nep­tune, to look through and beyond this Veil of Mat­ter, you must step into the Light and the Shad­ows will fall, these Veils of Earth­ly Fin­ery will be swept away to reveal the Glo­ry that is before you.

And if you do, if you look with no expec­ta­tion, no preconception…

If you look upon one anoth­er as you were made to do,

With Uncon­di­tion­al Love and Understanding…

Then, you will gasp and you will bow…

You will drop down on bend­ed knee and declare,

“Oh, what a won­der, what beauty…

This Pres­ence, This Joy,

This Divin­i­ty”!

Time
to Turn…

This turn­ing was men­tioned in my Gen­er­al
Fore­cast for 2013:

Jupiter Ret­ro­grade (Novem­ber 6–7 until March 6, 2014)

Jupiter,
who ever encour­ages you grow beyond your for­mer frames of ref­er­ence, takes you
on anoth­er inner jour­ney of growth, to explore your beliefs and truths as you
lis­ten for those whis­pers from your high­er self. This time he is in Can­cer, so
you need to reex­am­ine the root beliefs that nur­tured your begin­nings and may
still inform, inspire and guide you now. Pon­der a piece of wis­dom in this very
old say­ing, “That it is a very good for­tune to be born and brought up in a
belief…but it is a ter­ri­ble mis­for­tune to die in that belief.”  

You are here to Grow, but not all of
your growth will or should lead you to some­thing High­er, Larg­er, or Greater in
scope…

In fact, you will find that your most
impor­tant growth will take you Inwards, as you trav­el with­in and experience
those Infi­nite, Inner Worlds and more Sub­tle Dimen­sions that are the source of
all these out­ward forms. Your great­est explo­rations and dis­cov­er­ies will take
place in these realms, that lie beyond and behind this phys­i­cal­ly beau­ti­ful but
often Illu­sion­ary plane of your Earth­ly vehi­cle. For you must remem­ber, and you
should lit­er­al­ly “pinch” your­self and say, “This is not what or
who I am, this is mere­ly the form I must take to be in these worlds of
Matter…” 

When­ev­er a Plan­et turns ret­ro­grade, its
func­tion and pur­pose for you is turned too, turned so as to bring the focus of
its Mean­ings upon your Inner Worlds, to bring more aware­ness to you regard­ing your
Sub­tle Bod­ies and High­er Nature, to bring you back to your Truth in Spirit.

In fact, because of this (or some would
add, because all Plan­ets will make their clos­est approach to Earth when retrograde),
the Pow­er and Strength of a Plan­et’s offer­ings for you are that much greater
when Ret­ro­grade, because it is now focused upon and help­ing to elic­it and bring
forth the very Noume­na of your Being, the Under­ly­ing and Undy­ing Truth of what
you tru­ly are…For you are Spir­it, who at this time hap­pens to be learn­ing and
grow­ing through and upon this mate­r­i­al plane…but you need to remem­ber from
where you came and to where your Jour­ney will take you…you need to live by
and you need to be your Truth. 

So, though many projects, functions
and activ­i­ties of your life over the next four months will con­tin­ue to grow in
and through this Mate­r­i­al Plane, of course they will and must, for you have
giv­en them Ener­gy and Form and they will con­tin­ue upon their own path of Material
Unfoldment…It is you, The Dream­er and Cre­ator, it is you who will need to
turn your inten­tion and atten­tion to con­sid­er more what is behind and within
your­self and your world.

Jupiter is your Avatar of Prin­ci­ples, Truths
and Under­stand­ing and helps to form the Atti­tudes and Inten­tions that direct
you upon your one True Path, which is to grow. This turn­ing is for you, and
being that Jupiter is in Can­cer, you are offered anoth­er oppor­tu­ni­ty to understand
what forms the Foun­tain Source of you in this part of your Jour­ney. What are
the Spir­i­tu­al Foun­da­tions of your life, what Root Prin­ci­ples, Beliefs, Truths
or Reli­gions inform and guide your ways? What do you stand upon, Where do you
come from…and Where are you Going?

Take this time to look with­in, to
con­sid­er what forms your Foun­da­tion in Truth, what holds you to your Intention
to become and grow…

For you are ever Seek­ing, to Find your
Way, to Find your Path…

You will go here and there, ask­ing of
many Seers and Read­ers, Wise Ones and Teach­ers, Guides and Gurus, seek­ing to
know, “What should I Do, Where shall I go?”

When all along, of course, the answer
was there waiting…Within.

The ques­tion you need answered is not
Where are you Going…

The ques­tion is, Do you know from whence
you came?

For Know­ing this, you will smile, and
you will turn…

Point­ing to your Heart, as you look up to the Heav­ens, you will say…

“Here is my home, there
is my Destiny”.
