The Path of Awakening<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it is that time once again.<\/p>\n

Many will com\u00adplain about all the trou\u00adbles, snafu\u2019s, mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00adings and mis\u00adtakes that have been surg\u00ading late\u00adly, and they may seek to find some cause or scape\u00adgoat to blame, like some dis\u00adtant mem\u00adber of our solar sys\u00adtem. But real\u00adly, and quite sim\u00adply, this is a mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00ading about what is going on. All of this is the sto\u00adry of spir\u00adit, and this is how the uni\u00adverse works.<\/p>\n

Remem\u00adber, you are here to learn one thing tru\u00adly, to know yourself.<\/p>\n

You are also here to dis\u00adcov\u00ader that you can only mas\u00adter and exer\u00adcise con\u00adtrol over one thing too. Again, that is yourself.<\/p>\n

This is the Law: Know Thy\u00adself; Rule Thyself.<\/p>\n

By stay\u00ading upon the path of spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal unfold\u00adment, that is by steadi\u00adly increas\u00ading your self-knowl\u00adedge, (which will elic\u00adit from you an ever greater sym\u00adpa\u00adthy and under\u00adstand\u00ading for all the lives and the worlds that sur\u00adround you), you will slow\u00adly but steadi\u00adly rise into self-mas\u00adtery. There is only one thing you can tru\u00adly con\u00adtrol, it is your\u00adself. And those who live this truth are revealed and revered by their wis\u00addom and humil\u00adi\u00adty. This is the roy\u00adal road of truth, the path of self-ful\u00adfill\u00adment for all souls, whether they be human or planetary.<\/p>\n

Yes, it is time for you to slow down, and to take this oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to step back and recon\u00adsid\u00ader: What do you know; and, how do you know it?<\/p>\n

Three times a year, the plan\u00adet Mer\u00adcury catch\u00ades up to Earth, pass\u00ading us like a rac\u00ader on the inside track as both plan\u00adets cir\u00adcle around the Sun. When Mer\u00adcury does this it appears to be \u201cloop\u00ading back\u00adwards\u201d against the back\u00addrop of the heav\u00adens, and then, after three weeks it appears to move for\u00adward once more. As in all things, it takes dis\u00adcern\u00adment and a more encom\u00adpass\u00ading point of view to see what is real\u00adly going on.<\/p>\n

That real\u00adly is the point of Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade for us too. We need these reg\u00adu\u00adlar reminders of the essen\u00adtial neces\u00adsi\u00adty to do some inter\u00adnal \u201chouse\u00adkeep\u00ading\u201d, to clear our minds of mis\u00adper\u00adcep\u00adtions and mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00adings. We need this gift of Mer\u00adcury so that we might pause and take this gift of time, to reflect upon and to ques\u00adtion our assump\u00adtions of how we think, and what we think we know.<\/p>\n

Yes, we need to reex\u00adam\u00adine our thought-forms and men\u00adtal pat\u00adterns, to ques\u00adtion our modes of obser\u00adva\u00adtion and analy\u00adsis. We should strive to strength\u00aden our pow\u00aders of dis\u00adcern\u00adment and delib\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion. We need to endeav\u00ador to re-work and restore our men\u00adtal frame\u00adworks of under\u00adstand\u00ading and our path\u00adways of com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion with one another.<\/p>\n

All of this should be some\u00adthing we endeav\u00ador to do each and every day. You should begin the day with reflec\u00adtion and prepa\u00adra\u00adtion, and end your day with review, repair and renew\u00adal. But most cer\u00adtain\u00adly, dur\u00ading any Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade, we must all remem\u00adber that \u201cthe weath\u00ader out there\u201d has changed, and that this won\u00addrous realm of mind is going through a strong shift of ener\u00adgy-forms. You must strive to be even more mind\u00adful and care\u00adful in these next three weeks.<\/p>\n

Since each and every one of us is affect\u00aded by this shift of ener\u00adgies, that we are all more intro\u00adspec\u00adtive and inward\u00adly focused, we must be even more atten\u00adtive to what we observe and receive from oth\u00aders. And, we must equal\u00adly be more care\u00adful in how we reach out to con\u00adnect with oth\u00aders by word and by deed. The chances of mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00ading and mis\u00adsteps are high\u00ader now, but if we stay alert, we can use this time to make great progress with one another.<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury is ret\u00adro\u00adgrad\u00ading in Scor\u00adpio for the entire peri\u00adod. It is cer\u00adtain\u00adly going to be a time that will reveal deep and com\u00adpelling secrets; and, it will shift the path of life and love, turned by soul\u00adful truths for you and for your world.<\/p>\n

Emo\u00adtions will run high\u00ader, and the need to stay in con\u00adtrol of your\u00adself, to remain cen\u00adtered and calm despite the bat\u00adtles of shad\u00adows and light, will be more essen\u00adtial for one and for all.<\/p>\n

Do your part\u2026<\/p>\n

Watch calm\u00adly, lis\u00adten care\u00adful\u00adly, think deeply, and ques\u00adtion thoroughly.<\/p>\n

When you find your\u00adself in that tru\u00adly Scor\u00adpio space, where your words will fail you.<\/p>\n

Be grate\u00adful, and wait patient\u00adly, for this means you have reached the moment where the veil will lift a lit\u00adtle higher.<\/p>\n

There is only one way to move ahead now, in humil\u00adi\u00adty and grace,<\/p>\n

You must let go\u2026and grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
