11 Obsidian (Mirror, Flint)

[Friday 17 March 2023]

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.

Obsidian is the dark mirror and the scalpel; Obsidian is used to look into the shadow and to cut out the elements of the psyche that are toxic. Day 11 is the energy of integration and on 11 Obsidian we look to find a doorway through the shadow.

Today, doors are opening into the holographic universe and an experiential realisation that matter is the intersection of coherent beams of light becomes 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 creates the different levels of existence. All levels of existence are reflections of what we might call God, refracted through the dimensions of apparent separation.

As we become more conscious, more levels of existence become transparent.

[Extra link from Laurence to contemplate on 11 Obsidian:]
I will offer this haunting and beautiful rendition of  Simon & Garfunkel’s classic, The Sound of Silence, performed by heavy metal band Disturbed. Something about this seems to capture the moment.
