My friends! This week brings go-power. Multiple Cazimis + conjunctions in Aries asks that we are willing to KEEP MOVING, as a way to break out of the confusion + fragmentation that our own dis-memberment creates within.
"You will freeze in place if you remain this way. You must not, dear. You have to move.” — Rainer Maria Rilke
So many messages in this reading that I want to leave for the recording itself. My ancestors have been VERY passionate about staying wakeful, being active and allowing movement to create clarity IN PROCESS. It is not about knowing where we’re going, it’s about moving for the sake of no longer staying stuck in the liminal. This is the movement from Pisces into Aries; out of the dream and into creation.
"Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final". — Rainer Maria Rilke
Colonial history has stripped us of our Ancestral + Spiritual Maps, to be able to see this moment for what it truly is. At face value, we see chaos + destruction. Without a framework for initiatory processes, we stop here and succumb to the utter overwhelm of this terrain.
When we reframe this moment of destruction as a Rite of Passage, we open to the possibility that CREATION can be born from its ashes. That this is part of a transformative process. Destruction is the first necessary phase of any creative generation. Keep going; no feeling is final.
One piece that my Ancestors have been very vehement about is recognizing how much the dulling of our sense organs gives way to this overwhelm. It exaggerates it, keeps us frozen in place. The antidote is in staying wakeful, recognizing that everything we take in through our eyes/ears etc is actively shaping the Nature of Mind. And the Nature of our Mind is thus creating our experience of reality.
‘Your thoughts create your reality’ is the subsequent, externalized piece to a process of creation. The former piece that is so often overlooked, is the internal awareness that what we take IN to our mind is actively influencing our unique vantage point of reality. Whatever we are creating outwardly comes from this place. Thus, our awareness of what we are allowing to shape the Nature of our Mind affords us the choice to more intentionally have agency over the reality we are creating. The conditions of our mind field create everything else.
It is not actually very complicated. Staying wakeful, being mindful of what we’re taking in and how that’s shaping our experience. Yet, also recognizing that in repairing our relationship to the world around us, we become more available for new maps to be born of this moment.
The myth that our maps are lost to the distant past is a form of colonial erasure. The truth is, these maps were renewed with each new generation. They were born of relationship; to place, to the land, to the spirits + ancestors that surround us at all times. Our only task is in LISTENING. From here, we uncover the maps that can actively help us MOVE into action, creation, and generative will.
Without this, we resign ourselves to fear, overwhelm, and accepting destruction as an end to our creative agency. No thank you. I will not go gentle into that good night. Love you. Take care of yourselves + each other.
