Another World is Probable

I have only told this story to a handful of people but now seems like the right time to share it more broadly. It's about how I was zoombombed by neo-Nazis a few weeks ago and what it taught me about the way I show up in the world. You might be able to guess based on the title of this episode. . .

I've heard a few people say they're scared the U.S. is going to break out into another Civil War. I'd say we're already in one but the battlefield is on the internet, in people's homes, and on the streets. More in this week's post. 

In this week's post I talk about individual needs and collective needs. My viewpoint might get me branded as "un-American" because I'm not valuing freedom and liberty above all else. You've been warned. . .

I’m upset right now. I’m upset by callousness, by selfishness, and the expression of various -isms (racism, classism, antisemitism, etc.). It hurts my heart. I have so much grief that people can be this mean. I brought all of this sorrow to my meditation, holding the question, “What can I do about all of this?” and the answer that came back was the peace prayer that is often misattributed to St. Francis.

I had a whole thing with one of my succulents. You can hear the drama in this week's podcast, but you will not be surprised to hear I feel inspired by the outcome. And I tie in COVID-19. For this post, you'll want to visit www.anotherworldisprobable.com to see pictures of the succulent.

We're in an interesting time highlighting power and powerlessness. In many ways we're repeating history, including astrologically, and that means we're at an important point for a planetary revolution. More in this week's post.

We're seeing a lot of inequality, a lot of selfishness, a lot of callousness. All of that adds up to an opportune moment for a revolution. (Yeah, I said it.) More in this week's post. 

I learned some interesting things this week, including four possible scenarios for our future after COVID-19. These come from a professional futurist so they're legit! More in this week's post. 

This week I draw from Passover and Easter for inspiration on our current pandemic. They remind me we will eventually get through these hard times. More in this week's post. 

The other day I watched a facebook video from evolutionary astrologer David Yarrow Wood. He spoke about the current transit we’re all experiencing – Saturn conjunct Pluto. He said Pluto brings up fears so we can see through them, so we can no longer be motivated by them. Oh boy. This process of learning a new way of being started for me before the pandemic, but COVID-19 is upping the ante. I am learning to no longer be motivated by my fears. It’s hard though because I have a lot of fears and so does the worldwide society. More in this week's post.
