9 Earthmover

[Saturday 4 February 2023. Imbolc (astronomical cross-quarter date this year): Sun at 15° Aquarius; see note at the end of today's blog post]

Today you can connect to the evolutionary impulse that underpins the present human condition.

Today, being a 9 Day, is about awareness of large cycles of time, as well as change and evolution through powerfully evocative yet abstract feelings.

Awaken to the changes that rumble in the soul. Soul memory is memory from beyond time–space that comes from your past, before your history. Do you remember how this moment was seeded?

Into every moment we pour a tapestry of stories; different threads that are rooted in timeless zones and archaic evolutionary pasts.

Today, you can potentially transcend your present trajectory and see the options from different timelines and with different outcomes. A good day to experience – through feeling – the multiple potentials of different timelines that are encoded into each moment.

If you have felt blocked for some time in any area of your life, today is a good day to see that you can open up to another reality.

Reality is an agreement. Agreements create structures of reality. If an agreement is serving us, we are growing. On the other hand, if we really are blocked – if there really comes a point where we cannot seem to move forward in any way – then we do have the option to renegotiate.

It is amazing when you look back on your life and see certain situations that felt so permanent at the time, which you subsequently liberated yourself from. Do you remember a previously solid situation with impenetrable walls from which you are now free? Reality tunnel.

Whilst you were in that psychological space, you had a particular future. Once you moved out of that space, the future changed.

If a situation you are experiencing is truly stuck, then consider dropping it and creating a new one.

The way to do this is to realise that any situation can only inhibit you with your agreement. We choose structures that do come with limitations, because the total experience rewards one enough to accept some compromises. This is wise.

So evaluate your situation honestly. If you find that there is no longer any growth or reward, then you have the divine right, the legitimate right, to renegotiate a new situation.

This is how evolution works. We evolve from one structure to another. Each structure becomes more inclusive of more of reality. Each chapter of our lives is a relatively steady state of existence, but things eventually have to change.

Change, evolution and growth is always an offer made by Life so that we may grow and live larger. It does mean letting something go, which is not easy, but the rewards outweigh the loss.

The human species is presently renegotiating its reality. The consensual world of the mainstream has served evolution and is still serving some people, but the rewards for the species are diminishing rapidly. It will take some time for the main culture to shift – luckily you do not have to wait for everyone.

In fact, it is important for the sake of the collective that some individuals who have woken up early enough take the initiative to step into the new unchartered land now.

Are you one of those pioneers?

The new landscape is relatively empty and is in a state of flux. It will take some courage, but the potentials are enormous – the first steps are tentative, the way ahead is unclear, and the going is slow. But the choice is there, if you have a spirit of adventure.

[Message from Laurence about Imbolc]

Imbolc (also known as Brigid’s Day or Candlemas)

In the Celtic Wheel and the cycle of the solar calendar, Imbolc traditionally falls on 2 February.*

This is a real gateway, like all of the pagan or Medicine Wheel festivals or markers, based on real astronomical alignments – in this case, midway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox** – and the annual cycles that directly affect our bodies and, therefore, indirectly affect our social year.

Imbolc is the early sprouting of the new energy first conceived at Winter Solstice. It is also the time for Spring cleaning of mind, body, feelings and our space. Space clearing is incredibly powerful. Each time I do it, I am reminded just how immediate the effect is – it literally creates more psychic space. We feel so much lighter. The clearing and cleaning is to make way for the upcoming Spring energy; it is preparation for birth with the Spring Equinox.

 

[Notes from Carey]

* These dates refer to the Northern Hemisphere. Imbolc in the Southern Hemisphere traditionally falls on 2 August.

** The actual astronomical cross-quarter date for Imbolc this year is 4 February 2023, when the Sun is at 15° Aquarius. ‘The solar events are determined astronomically, and vary a little bit due to factors such as leap year. The true cross-quarter days are actually a few days later than the traditional dates of Imbolc, Beltaine, Lughnasadh, and Samhain, and sources vary as to the exact dates of their observance as well.’ http://www.russellcottrell.com/celticdate/
