All be improv- very much- not performance- but serendipitous group magic…
In Trickster We Trust!
Richard, back-stage Badger, be in the midst of moving – and for bonus points- floods!
in the Bay Area, so will not be able to produce tonight…
But we are plucky – we can do this…
and welcoming return of Green Wizard astro*mytho*colleague, co-cahooter
Jerome McGeorge, founder of Organic Valley and all- technologically a squosh daunted…
Until Now!
(knock on wood – dance around)
I told him, I thought 2 people cahooting makes it easier for all to chime in,
dissolves the polarity of presenter v audience…
opens the door for Council! Con-versing…
Everyone feeling safe and welcome…
Reciprocal to and fro blessing….
Bringing up micro + macro kerfuffles for Group Mind to gracefully resolve…
(and if emailing during call, feel free to just respond to this email, as Richard will not be there to forward from site… Eryn will be backstage this evening)
We are all in this dream together.
On to
Deep Delving Dilly-Dallying…
Mars in Libra-not in “fall”- that may be limiting cultural conditioning…
We love Mars in Venus’ sign, as necessary to now…
as Calm-weaver- Green Wizard,
dancing out of polarity…
Squared Pluto- so Let’s compost fear!
While acknowledging danger….
Trine Jupiter-Team conjuring desirable guiding story…to spiral forth into memosphere…
************************************
We continue to engage the two Venuses: in the Libra Realm of Culture (Mercury) – & the Taurus Realm of Participatory Animism.(Uranus) conversation…
That we plight our troth to be cultural agents for what we love in the wild…
This be an ongoing necessary miracle of an experiment…
So where be Venus? But at 19+ Sagittarius – the resolving climate crisis degree- via long-term collaborative Vision…
So we know that most eco-systems are close to collapse… Democracy, in all expressions be in danger…
Inhaling our Saturn – authority – sucks the chi out of authoritarianism.
“Tyrants don’t care if they are hated – as long as the people don’t love each other.”
Becomes
“Tyrants don’t care if they are hated – as long as the people don’t love the Earth!”
Let’s all love the Earth….
And wouldn’t it be grand (and we can do this back-stage) – in preparation for the Glasgow Climate Conference on Sunday,
if we re-frame the story (Jupiter) and Language crafting (Mercury) – so it not be
“World leaders gather to “fight/combat climate change.”
Yikes
But rather:
“Leaders gather to humbly cooperate with Nature!”
Small huge liberating into accord (“with the heart”)…
Let Janine Benyus and Bio mimicry be present…
The sine qua non for life on planet….
So while we are at it- let’s compost “privilege” which etymologically means “private law.”
Just finishing reading an excellent Judge Dee detective novel, (“The Haunted Monastery”)
so satisfying, as dangerous villain always brought to accountability.
Yea!
In this one, the Villain, a revered Taoist Sage- up to no good- says,
“law and custom are only for the common people, they don’t apply to exalted persons like me. I belong to the small group of chosen people, who, because of their superior knowledge and talents, are far above the ordinary human rules and limitations. We have advanced beyond such conventional notions of “good” and “bad.”…”
So, let’s compost all of that, resonant with the crack-pot cartoon version of tyranny currently assigned to us..
to serve as incentive, to call in our inner and outer ally- Liberating Trickster
******************************
Just for the quirky share,
sending for everyone’s private bemusement,
Cause too long and jangly to play to council, and
no Richard….
Fantabulous psychedelic lyrics – song..
our cultural heritage…”before entheogens were re-packaged as “therapy.””
And other forms of “taming magic”…”fending off wonder”

Lyrics
Bedouin tribes ascending
From the egg into the flower,
Alpha information sending
State within the heaven shower
From disciples the unending
Subtleties of river power
They slip inside this house as they pass byIf your limbs begin dissolving
In the water that you tread
All surroundings are evolving
In the stream that clears your head
Find yourself a caravan
Like Noah must have led
And slip inside this house as you pass by.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.True conception, knowing why
Brings even more than meets the eye
Slip inside this house as you pass by.In this dark we call creation
We can be and feel and know
From an effort, comfort station
That’s surviving on the go
There’s infinite survival in
The high baptismal glow.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.There is no season when you are grown
You are always risen from the seeds you’ve sown
There is no reason to rise alone
Other stories given have sages of their own.Live where your heart can be given
And your life starts to unfold
In the forms you envision
In this dream that’s ages old
On the river layer is the only sayer
You receive all you can hold
Like you’ve been told.Every day’s another dawning
Give the morning winds a chance
Always catch your thunder yawning
Lift your mind into the dance
Sweep the shadows from your awning
Shrink the fourfold circumstance
That lies outside this house don’t pass it by.Higher worlds that you uncover
Light the path you want to roam
You compare there and discover
You won’t need a shell of foam
Twice born gypsies care and keep
The nowhere of their former home
They slip inside this house as they pass by.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.You think you can’t, you wish you could
I know you can, I wish you would
Slip inside this house as you pass by.Four and twenty birds of Maya
Baked into an atom you
Polarized into existence
Magnet heart from red to blue
To such extent the realm of dark
Within the picture it seems true
But slip inside this house and then decide.All your lightning waits inside you
Travel it along your spine
Seven stars receive your visit
Seven seals remain divine
Seven churches filled with spirit,
Treasure from the angels’ mine
Slip inside this house as you pass by.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.The space you make has your own laws
No longer human gods are cause
The center of this house will never die.There is no season when you are grown
You are always risen from the seeds you’ve sown
There is no reason to rise alone
Other stories given have sages of their own.Draw from the well of unchanging
Its union nourishes on
In the right re-arranging
Till the last confusion is gone
Water-brothers trust in the ultimust
Of the always singing song they pass along.One-eyed men aren’t really reigning
They just march in place until
Two-eyed men with mystery training
Finally feel the power fill
Three-eyed men are not complaining.
They can yo-yo where they will
They slip inside this house as they pass by.
Don’t pass it by.
