How are we? We are okay, but not okay, we are fine but we
are disturbed, our sleep is disrupted, we retreat into a safe corner only to
find that there is no peace and then we seek something else reassuring.
The world is offering us plenty of entertainment, there is
much to inspire us in the moment, or very long term, but the general conditions
are in a state of flux and transition and this is being prolonged too long for
comfort. Temporary solace and interesting vignettes are bountiful right now
whilst the deep slow rumble of a reality being reconfigured incessantly
continues.
Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn have been locked in
conflict, ultimately creative conflict, for the last 3 years and we are now
reaching the culmination, or close to the culmination of this psychological and
sociological intensity. Not that we can expect the social situation just to be cured, but that the intensity will dissipate, maybe...
Uranus in Aries provokes novelty and distraction, the mind
is also inspired to detach from the ways things are to explore and excite a new
concept of life, but Pluto in Capricorn has more power.
Pluto in Capricorn compels a desperate need to control and
maintain the status quo and impassions the desire for total control, absolute
control, in response to its ultimate effect which is to dismantle, destroy and
transform the social structure, the traditions, the status quo and the established
reality.
We are locked into looking back to find the reassurance from
the past or from commonsense or some mystical wisdom that is timeless. Yes the ageless
wisdom of eastern mysticism is always relevant, but still the energetic condition
of life right now keeps demanding our attention. And so we apply ourselves and what, no full answers are supplied. We cannot fully transcend without a
radical ignore-ance of the churning wheel that is squeezing our whole reality.
“We as a species have the choice to continue to develop our bodies and
brains in a healthy upward trajectory, or we can follow the Western
example of recent decades and
intentionally poison our population with genetically altered food,
pharmaceuticals, vaccinations, and fast food that should be classified
as a dangerous, addictive drug.” Vlad Putin who seems to be a voice for truth?
The economy has become an absurdity and politicians have
become an Orwellian parody, the authority of science and religious institutions
are a joke, but not particularly funny. The collective need to maintain the illusion
of our social structure and its pretense of democracy, or to maintain the
illusion of a free market of money, ideas and innovation and of the ideology
that anyone in real power is actually trying to solve any of the world’s
problems, is… understandable.
The change required seems much too big for us, so we push it
away.
Within this emotional furnace, new qualities within human
beings are emerging or attempting to emerge. We have largely adapted to the realization
that the world is a crap house that rewards those that conform and take the
corporate phallus unto themselves.
Life is still offering goodness, the corporatized
monstrosity of the mainstream corrupted structure still inadvertently supplies.
The rational position is now fully rationalistic, a self perpetuating logic
that is consistent within the mind and yet totally divorced from the empirical
evidence of reality.
It sucks, but technology
is the reward and yet better is the appreciation of nature and of those we love
and share with.
For as the malfunction increases it pushes us to love that
which is worth loving.
An existential crisis that offers us the opportunity to enjoy or rather quietly appreciate the simplicity of existing with others and with the world as it is.
Trust in life itself.
Trust in life itself.
