11 Obsidian, Tuesday

Doorways, reflections and dimensions

Transparency and integration.

A good day to be transparent or to see through everything, to see through the data and the one thousand interesting things that arise, to encounter the flickering light that reflects the unity of all life. The flickering light of creation is akin to the shimmering light of the sun on the sea.

Today, doors are opening into the holographic universe and an experiential realization that matter is the intersection of coherent beams of light is possible. In other words, look through the form, events, occurrences and people who are mirroring you today to see beyond the illusion. A day of penetrating clarity of consciousness, a clarity that emerges gradually out of the smoky mirror.

All forms are just energy vortexes giving the impression of solidity. Energy is a reflection of the movement of consciousness. Consciousness spins at different speeds which create the different levels of existence, all levels of existence are reflections of what we may call God, refracted through the dimensions of apparent separation. As we become conscious more levels of existence become transparent.

Imbolc

Today is Imbolc, the time for preparation, further space clearing and the early sprouting of the new energy first conceived at Winter Solstice.

Obsidian is the dark mirror and the scalpel, that is used to look into the shadow and to cut out the elements of the psyche that are toxic. Pertinent to the energy at the moment below are three links that turned up this morning, reflective of the social environment. I offer them without further comment, but this is a good sample of much of the deep social sentiment.

Day 11 is the energy of integration and 11 Obsidian we look to find a doorway through the shadow. Remember we are in the last week of this powerful moon cycle, which was a Sun conjunct Pluto square Uranus new moon, so we are integrating any deep transformation that has occurred in our emotions.

The message of Imbolc for the year, seems to be about how we come to terms with the now exposed shadow of the world, how in this year do we learn to live with the hideous truth of our mainstream's society decay and corruption, duplicity and manipulation. The key maybe found in the upcoming Chinese New Year of Monkey...more on this soon...

1. “No longer possible to believe much of clinical research published”

2. “Positive Attitude” Bullshit: On the dangers of “radical self-love”

3. Flip Flop. Big change from "the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails." to Bernie: Clinton Emails 'A Very Serious Issue'

To end, I will offer this haunting and beautiful rendition of  Simon & Garfunkle's classic "The Sounds of Silence" performed by heavy metal band "Disturbed". Something about this seems to capture the moment.
