The Eclipse November 2013--Cosmic Influx Filtering Down into Mainstream--Increasing the Psychic Conductivity of the Environment

Overview

As we move further into 2013--and the 2012 effect increasingly unfolds with the cosmic influx manifesting in the sociological realm--it is time to hold onto our emotional response, whilst in the thick of it.  As things move forward it is tempting to look for the easy solution, to get lost on the euphoric waves of energy or mass hysteria.

However the overall feeling is positive, vital and magical. It is undeniable, if you have been paying attention to the news outside of the mainstream, that a shift is occurring.
Time to let go of outworn fears, yet stay alert, proceed with stealth, determination and utilize careful magic, find your words of power--words that are imbued with magic for you. Time to subtly and benevolently use the evocative magic of the imagination within your activities to walk forward, responding to the fluctuating flow of energy with attentiveness. Move through the maize of polarity by calling upon the inherent goodness of life to lead you safely and creatively through the dramas of a world going through a fundamental transformation.

The cosmic energy is being stepped down one significant increment from the subtler planes into the world as we know it, the astral seeps in as boundaries loosen and social structures continue to dissolve. The world can be more easily moulded, if you want to do something new, that is in alignment with the emerging values then proceed.


The Eclipse


A solar eclipse is a new moon, where the Moon is aligned both by longitude and latitude and hence covers the Sun. Although the Sun is 400 times larger than the moon it is also 400 times further away!
Solar Eclipses occur fairly often so of itself an eclipse is not hugely significant. An eclipse always brings a degree of change, which mostly unfolds over a few months, and yet also appears within the moon cycle seeded.

We are now moving into the Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, this being marked by the astronomical cross quarter, Halloween on the 31st October and Samhain or Day of the Dead on November 1st (the civil calendar markers), whilst the actual astronomical cross quarter is on Thursday 7 November at 6.07GMT. This is the time of the year when the astral world of ancestors and spirit entities are closest to us, it is like a portal in time opens. It is an opportunity to feel some of our shadow elements, release dead wood out of the subtle energy field, to let go of outworn emotions and connect to the reality of the continuity of the soul after death. This ancestral and spirit entity portal is celebrated and acknowledged even with our modernity, albeit largely unconsciously.


The Solar Eclipse is on November 3rd at 12.51GMT this integrates with this annual portal opening of Samhain.






 Astrology of the Eclipse

If that was all we had to say about the Eclipse, then it would not be such a big deal. However, as we see on the chart, the Sun and Moon are in a conjunction with Saturn and Mercury which is retrograde on the North Node and most significantly in a neat angular relationship to the Uranus square Pluto configuration as well as Mars and Chiron.
Furthermore the Uranus square Pluto configuration is in an exact 90 degrees relationship TODAY Friday, Nov 1, 2013 at 10:30am GMT, 6.30pm Hong Kong and 3:30am PDT with Uranus retrograde 9° 26' Aries and Pluto direct at 9° 26' Capricorn.
The 2012 influx is represented on the sociological and environmental level by this square of Uranus with Pluto, it started during 2012 and ends 2015 this is the 4th of the seven exact squares that occur  and it speaks to us in general of the creative friction and conflict of values. The conflict of innovation and zealous desire to lead humanity in a new direction with the enduring social structure and hierarchy, it speaks to us of power battles and the need for an evolution/revolutionary change of the global social order.
If we take a moment to register our sense of the world we can all feel that the 2012 effect is unfolding, the cosmic influx is filtering down into the social realm. If we wanted to give an easy example of this manifestation we could point at the recent social phenomena that has gravitated around Russell Brands article and interview with Jeremy Paxman. 

As eloquent, intelligent, sharp and entertaining as Russell is we do need more than one voice and we do need some deeper thinking when it comes to this enormous change that is being undertaken by human society.
I will elaborate upon that another time, it Is not quite the right energy to fully get into that right now


The presence of Mars at the 12th degree of Virgo is confrontational, it is provoking social issues with an attitude of ‘show me’, ‘make it happen’, ‘bring it on’.

Chiron’s position in opposition to Mars and tied into the whole Eclipse configuration complicates the straight forward desire of Mars and its call to action and evidence. The sense of powerlessness and self sabotage can be expressed by Chiron which requires a more subtle approach to the issues of change, the need to connect to the overall feeling, the larger holistic picture, rather than a simplistic approach  we have to feel our way through it and we cannot see the whole outcome of the change emerging, but we need to feel the totality as best we can.

Connect to energy first, before acting.

Saturn is to some extent inhibiting the speed of change and yet also forcing the change to be real, forcing us to engage and do the work, to grapple with the intricacies of polarity and astral energy, the essential existential complexity of changing the world--or changing our own life.

Mercury Retrograde on the Node is revealing that the narrative is tied to an ancient evolutionary script and that the challenge is to refer back to large frames of time to see the story of what is unfolding.


Deucalion 12 degrees of Scorpio (Noah) and Ceto 14 degrees of Scorpio (monsters of the Deep) either side of Saturn tell us of the depths of the collective emotion that are seeking to surface and with it the dangers of flooding, tsunamis and mob madness, we are asked to ride the swells. The social boundaries, the structures are being threatened by the depth of the collective feelings. This is good, brings change and not so good, brings instability.

This eclipse is a another big push forward that requires effort and willingness to go over the polarity issues, engage with the dynamics, the opposite pulls of our needs, to reconsider them time and time again. A discussion that requires a continual rehashing and re-evaluation of what the issues are. The world is being forced to engage with the complexity of polarity within the global drama, to dredge over the entanglements of power, dependency and desire.

More than that though, the way forward requires the magical approach that unites with a cool mind to carefully evoke energy to utilize in our everyday world. 

The Eclipse chart speaks to me of a malleable reality, right now, more malleable than has been experienced for a long time, we can alchemize and be creative with the interconnections we find. Find the thread of logic that conforms to your creative imaginative and benevolently abundant vision. The astral energies are being infused into the everyday world, an astral fog is descending as the cosmic influx is stepped down into society, the world will feel that bit more surreal, this requires protection and yet utilization of this emotive, imaginative, penetrating energy.

The Planets as seen through the appropriate Sabian Symbols
Sun and Moon an embassy ball... the privilege of the elite being eclipsed

Saturn telephone lineman at work...hard work to maintain all structures
Mars a bride with her veil snatched away... forced exposure and the veil between the worlds being opened
Mercury Retrograde/Node the Moon shining on a lake.. evoking magic, with care and attention, listening to the feedback from the energy field
Chiron aviator in the clouds.. connect to source, or the larger feeling in order to navigate the energies

Neptune a petrified forest... dissolving rigidity

Uranus retrograde a man teaching new forms for old symbols...old things dressed up as new things, manipulation by the social engineers and old things reinterpreted

Pluto an albatross feeding from the hand... help others if you want to soar, give of yourself and your energy and be elevated, a big shift of values within the system trying to come through
Jupiter in a weak trine with Saturn is largely un-aspected, a prima donna singing...a show being put on for the public that has nothing to do with reality.

oh yes and comet Ison is coming an enormous amount of speculation around that, whatever the truth of Ison it is certainly part of the 2012 effect...


I will continue to edit and improve this piece and I will continue the exploration of this eclipse energy during this moon cycle...there is much we can do with this energy...

The World’s Biggest Storm--Effects Contained





I am not just talking about Usagi. Usagi, meaning Rabbit, was the hurricane that was heading straight for Hong Kong that miraculously softened at the last moment. It still caused plenty of Typhoon chaos, but it certainly was not the disaster it could have been. 



The title of this blog is a also metaphor for the flux state I talk about that is congruent with the 2012 effect.

The typhoon took us through the Western Gate--the Autumn Equinox--which is the portal of the last quarter of the Solar year, its effects are symbolic. 

The Worlds storm threats are WW3 and Economic Meltdown, as have we have see recently the disaster that was Syria seems to have been averted. 

The USA’s position  as the dominant nation is rapidly decaying, there can be no doubt about that now, but simultaneously a self organizing global consciousness is emerging albeit slowly.



We are being kept on alert, the positive consciousness that is inherent within our global village is containing the storms, yet there is no comfort, no easy relaxation.

The new terrain requires attentive, responsive adaptability, a continual process of re-grasping our centre.

Timeless

http://todayilearned.co.uk/2013/06/13/classical-sculptures-dressed-as-hipsters-look-contemporary-and-totally-badass/

We are living in the post historical era
Multiple time frames and units of time co-exist
Be cool with time
Own your time
Time is the commodity of the world
Time is not money
Time is attention
Payments are made with time, time is your payment
Pay attention to time and plnty of time will attend you on your journey

Understand Your Life from Your Soul’s Perspective and then be Creative with Your Life as it Unfolds...



...this is the intention with the work I do for individuals.

The Big Cats have a shamanic resonance with our sovereign nature, will you let your free, fearless and regal self out into the world?

I use a combination of astrology, psychology and shamanism in tandem with my developmental model of human progress (The Enchantments of Life). When I work with a client I call upon the spirits that guide me to contact the spirits that guide the client, so that we can establish a higher level of relationship. 

I do consultations rather than readings, this means that the sessions are very interactive as I honour the fact that the individual has power over their life. Within the psyche of every person lies the truth that they need, as well as; the white noise of doubt and information, emotional energy that is absorbed from the world that does not serve their life and momentary excitement that will fade quickly.

Everyone will speak their own words of power if given the right space, I create that space and mirror those words of power back to you, if you were the client. So although I do make some judgements on your behalf, I emphasize that the inherent wisdom you are already have is the most powerful. No matter how charismatic or seductive any healer, therapist or astrologer is their magic on your life will not last as long as the magic you own. This is your sovereign power.

Understand Your Life from Your Soul’s Perspective and then be Creative with Your Life as it Unfolds


Having a one off reading has very limited value and many people can get stuck in a pattern of going from reading to therapy to shamanic session and so on, without recognizing or connecting to the essential sovereignty and authority within, that individuals have over their own lives.
We all need other people, we all need guidance and help, but there is an essential subtle sovereignty of the soul, that you need to evoke.

Doing two years with a counselor can lead to a co-dependent relationship that actually can reinforce some deep problems and victim mentality, rather than encouraging the creative adaptive approach to what is the adventure of life.

We never get rid of our complexes, this is one of the great misnomers, our past is part of the kaleidoscope of our character, what we can do is understand the programs and patterns we have and through acceptance and awareness we can express more of our self and gain some transcendence rather than being stuck in our small compartments of self, that live within the multi-leveled psyche.

Life coaching has its place, it can be very effective for short term success but all too often that is based on externals, unbalanced positivity and unsustainable ‘fixing’ of problems or relatively easy short term solutions and often has a materialistic personality bias. This is fine, but many people need something more integrated to suit the human condition in these transitory times. 

I have developed a new approach over the last 20 years that allows for the organic emergence of awareness from within you whilst you learn to creatively engage with the external reality and adjusting internal consciousness through the feedback mechanism of life.

Instead of a one of session or an unending habitual program I have found that a six-eight session process can give one the time to make real sustainable changes and most importantly give you, the client some tools that you can use for your life. It is economically more efficient, it is satisfying and empowering.

I look at life purpose, the past and the present whilst listening attentively to the clients own experience and perception, it can be thought of as a negotiation, life itself is a constant negotiation. This is the creative nature of existence based on the feedback mechanism between the internal and external reality and the constant unfolding energy that powers life itself.

I give the client exercises to do on their own, utilize intentions and recapitulation of the past where appropriate.

If you have already done some journeying through the spiritual hypermarket and feel a real need to make a deeper connection to life and take spiritual responsibility for that which you can be responsible for, then email me and tell me a little bit about yourself and I will design  a program for you.

If you desire to feel connected to yourself and accept that life is more like a creative flow, a river that we are navigating, an adventure that we have chosen to undertake rather than a problem to be fixed then let me help you.

I have 22 years experience of working with people on this level.

How to Navigate the Flux: Living with the 2012 Effect



Join me on Lamma Island this October for a direct learning experience, evoking and using energy from the environment we live in.

The flowing syn-chronic order is jagged, the magic gets interrupted, the zone is punctuated...  

Are you feeling it, most people I know and have met are experiencing the challenge of holding their centre, staying on course, making things happen or sustaining their emotional equilibrium. There is a holding pattern that is stopping our reality from dissolving into complete chaos, but within this there is a flux state. This polarity flow state is due to the influx of high energy from the cosmos which  includes the interstellar plasma which is largely the cause of the weird global weather and continuing environmental instability. 

The plasma effect has been documented by many scientists and although NASA has indicated that the whole Solar System is experiencing disorder, all planets are experiencing energy chaos, it has not been owned by the mainstream. Manmade pollution is secondary to the environmental problem, but human consciousness is the key to the energy changes that are happening as we are in the midst of this decade’s long shift of consciousness on Earth. 

The 2012 era has manifested, the political tension and social fragility of the global situation is just a symptom of the energy field change. As we change the core value system at the centre of human culture so we will come into resonance with the changing energy field. Effectively we have more energy for everything, but our present social system is running on an old program that is blocking access to the higher energy and consciousness. The problem is that this extra vital force is not being expressed by the human population, due to the old social program. This blockage, old thinking, fear based economical system and lack of trust in the natural evolution of our species is causing the systemic problem. People are needing to progress, instinctively many are feeling the staleness of all mainstream media and entertainment which is product of an out of date leadership.

The change has to be effected from the roots, bottom up, not top down, it starts with the individual, learning to live with the energy. The way to do this is through observing, defining and measuring time and space. I have perfected a course that makes all of the energetic complexity of Earth’s system very easy to understand through direct experience. Having applied myself to experiencing, researching and navigating energy on a daily basis over the last 22 years, I have found away to share this with people in a six day workshop course, that is totally applicable to your own  life and your own situation.

This is the best course I have ever created as it integrates so much, yet is not overloaded with information, but is based on experience, simple practices and shamanic ceremony that enable you to actually change your energy and it gives you these tools for life.

I am running my course Claim Your Power: Own Your Time andSpace on Lamma Island starting October New Moon Saturday 5, then second workshop Sunday 13, Saturday 19, Saturday 26, Saturday 2 November and Sunday 3 November.

The course includes some homework and is ideal for those ready to bring something new into their lives and step up their life. I do not make this claim lightly, preferring to undersell things normally. There are only 8-9 places maximum available so please email as soon as possible.

The World is Not Only Stranger than We Imagine, it is Stranger than We Can Imagine





The Integral movement seems to ignore a very important subject, namely the issue of an ancient advanced civilization. 

Atlantis.

There is a general sense that the Integral Movement wants legitimacy within the present framework, and that requires that certain subjects are to be avoided in an integral view.

I am speaking in a broadbrush manner, I am sure there are those who study such things as Atlantis within the integral communities. (Quietly)

The Integral position is still well in advance of the mainstream perspective, so perhaps it is understandable that many do not want to be ridiculed? 

However what I read from Ken and others is that Astrology, UFOlogy, Atlantis, Psychotropic journeys, Yeti, or Fortean Phenomena--where astral entities cross over into our world, are all essentially subjective.

The truth of the immanent energy field is that the subject-object divide is transgressed.  Spirit is most easily found within, but once the constructs of self are seen, then we start to become aware of the toroidal flow of consciousness from inside us to out side of us and from outer to inner. Once the self starts to become transparent we see the connectivity between the personal and collective psyche.

The term subjective suggests fantasy, but the imagination is a two way osmotic plasma screen with personal filters of belief and ideology. We can create a fantasy on our plasma screen but the screen also receives energy, information and imagery.

Emotions and thoughts are substances, less dense than matter, so here we are already transgressing the objective-subjective divisions.

The term projection is a misnomer, we are always projecting or as I prefer to say, we are always filtering.
 
These subjects push the buttons of defensive psychology. Even those who might have an intellectual position in one of these ‘lunatic fringe’ areas can express disdain for astrology or conspiracy or such like.

In the Integral view the 'woo woo' realm belongs to Green vMeme (Spiral Dynamics designation of psychological level), the new age, idealistic, pluralistic position.

Having looked at all of these challenging areas over decades I have found that there are intellectual systemic researchers within the paradigms. All of them have a basis in reality, objective-subjective reality.


Quite simply the subjects themselves cannot be reduced to one level of psychology because there is very strong evidence underpinning the passionate interest they arouse.

Unless one immerses oneself inside the subject you cannot really know the truth of it.

All of these contentious areas are extremely complex and are very much unfolding mysteries that require more and more intelligent questions, but from my experience they are all extremely valid areas of inquiry.
