Tis an improv time,
Minutes before air time, Victor told me that he can only do 20 minutes…
So Patricia Ewing joined me…ha-ha!
adorably…
rapid respone team…
in our honoring of what our Gen Z team-mates carry:
“enjoyment of pluralism”
and tolerance…
immune to compromising ideals via the lure expediency…
Everyone rise
to the occasion of now – confluencing of generational allies…
*Disciplined Dedication to Collective Well-Being…
“Grax” is a biological term that, according to Rupert Sheldrake, describes the action of individual bacteria, or slime mold or anything coming together as an intelligent community to address a challenge that cannot be resolved alone. Myriad expressions from Arab Spring, American Autumn, to Occupy Everywhere announce, “We are in a period of Global Graxing!”
(from below essay)
*Gen Z turn-out….
Gen Z-
1997-2012 (age 10-25)
“Duty to Warn: Wow. JAW-DROPPING numbers that bode well for Democrats, Planet Earth, AND sanity going forward.”
NEW: jaw-dropping initial youth voting numbers out of University of Michigan. 94% of students voted for Gretchen Whitmer. Only 6% voted for Tudor Dixon. Here’s the bottom line: young people were—& will be—key for Democrats’ success. Time to pay attention & invest in Gen Z.
Gen Z Turn-out…
If you think this is the last of Gen Z, think again. We are the third-largest generation in America & on track to be the largest generation in America. What happened on Tuesday wasn’t an anomaly—we’ve been turning out at historic rates since 2018. Gen Z is just getting started.
*Disciplined Dedication to Collective Well-Being…
No path to sanity without Gen Z…
“We know what’s up. We know Republicans are coming after us. We know our civil rights and liberties are under siege. And we aren’t afraid to make our voices heard.
It’s up to Democrats and President Biden to now meet us where we are and engage us in the political process. Because there’s no path to victory in November without us.
We don’t need more political parties. But what we need is a democracy in which everyone participates. I write about why Ranked-Choice Voting is the voting system we need in my latest for the Chicago Tribune 👇. Hope you’ll read & share. https://lnkd.in/gHFXEaKJ “
So, have oft wondered, who determines dates and names of generations…
And surely there must be better names, and significant timing…
However
Gen Z-
1997-2012 (age 10-25)
is kinda significantly cool:
Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction January 1997 26+/27 Capricorn –
Pluto Transiting that conjunction now…
A generation on mission.
And, of course nothing be exclusionary…
We are all in this Dream together…
=Positive Intrigue….
“Take the Zircon to Foppa, and tell him we move tonight…” (Richard Farina)
In 1998 Uranus enters Aquarius——
Ingenuity and Vision to animate true Community
Neptune in Aquarius (T Pluto, upoin entering Aquarius – will soon trine)
As Victor said, this “is a generation that is digitally connected.”
DNA diverse, hence tolerant, inclusive…
T Saturn on Neptune….
Now, dedication to the Vision.
Feb 2008 Pluto enters Capricorn- 2024-
We are all navigating this structural collapse of whatever not based on cooperatingwith Nature’s Guiding genius.
(2015 Pluto-Uranus Aries square)
This precious opportune time: Uranus enters Taurus – May 2018- April 2026
necessity of participatory animism,
bio-mimicry in all human forms of gathering, designing…

We note Sun at the gather & repeat useful things – degree, Mercury at “Woman draws back 2 dark curtains leading to a sacred pathway”degree, Venus at the “giving a Sermon on a Mount”degree (Terrence McKenna’s Sun- bless his ancestral collegial bardic self)

That be all of us . dedicated to Democracy now….
Being Agents of Cool Response in hot reactive field…(Dementors feed on strife.
Please don’t feed the dementors..
There be a yod: Venus etc in Scorpio, quincunx Mars R in Gemini, who quincunxes Pluto,
who sextiles back to Venus…
what fun : the assignment to spiral sizzily deep guiding insight, the mission of re-designing human culture to have cooperatuve manners,
into (Mars) rousing vernacular accessibility… whoosh….
Orb a little wide
but a lovely thought…
Holy Golden Yod!
A perfect Golden YOD forms today, with Chiron and Mars connecting to the Sun and Mercury. A golden YOD is created by 1 x Quintile 72° and 2 x Bi-quintiles 144°.
Quintiles vibrate at the 5th harmonic dividing the circle into 5, replicating the 5 pointed Venus Star in the zodiac. The 5th harmonic is found in the charts of radical creatives and magical thinkers.
With Chiron in Aries in (Mars’ day sign), finding strength connecting to Mars in Gemini (in mutual reception with Mercury in Scorpio), which in turn point their fingers to the Sun and Mercury (in Mars’ night sign) come together in an unexpected way.
The trilogy speaks of magical and creative solutions, of thinking and doing differently, of seemingly impossible tasks that can uncover solutions hidden in plain site!
With the Sun and Mercury square Saturn and Venus trine Neptune as well, we are tested to find solutions and discover outcomes!
Be creative with this one!
From the way back machine, but so good:

11.11.11
“Believe nothing-entertain possibilities”
Living in a world of call and response, we consequently experience re-assuring delight when synchronicity responds to our call. Often through numbers. Even the most secularly rational among us have favorite or frequently recurring numbers. And we are reassured by numerical patterns that we are part of something vast and mysteriously ordered and not merely pathetic weenies in a vast un-caring universe.
We are pattern-tracking beings, in love with symmetry. Our yearning for redemptive symmetry is currently swirling through the memosphere.
And people are just crazy about 11.11.11.
The calendar becomes a slot machine, lining up and paying off.
Mythmatician (history of math and myth guy) Michael Schneider once said, “one of the greatest losses of intimacy in the modern world occurred when the study of math was divorced from the study of nature.” In his splendid book “a Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe,” he remedies this false estrangement by teaching how each number is to be found in nature, and what it has come to represent to humans over millennia.
11 has traditionally been associated with a mysterious threshold, passageway, door. That resonates. We know we are all at an archway leading to darker woods, and not wanting to be too alone.
“Grax” is a biological term that, according to Rupert Sheldrake, describes the action of individual bacteria, or slime mold or anything coming together as an intelligent community to address a challenge that cannot be resolved alone. Myriad expressions from Arab Spring, American Autumn, to Occupy Everywhere announce, “We are in a period of Global Graxing!”
Simultaneously we are in Apocalypse-fest, in myriad dire and happy face versions of simple certainty imposed on complexity. So let standards of merry discernment guide us to navigate this rising tide of beliefs. Because there are some nutty predictions, presumptions, and hubristic assumptions flapping around in the cultural wind.
“Whatever makes us passive is toxic, and whatever makes us active is tonic,” is a good start.
Doom and Gloom predictions are for people with balloon payments due.
In the Book of Thomas, not only does Jesus not speak of “End Times,” he mocks the very idea. “Are you all so fulfilled in participating in on-going creating, you can afford to waste time pondering the end.” (Aramaic scholar Neil Douglas Klotz’s translation.)
Things to compost: the Apocalypse meme, a 3000 year con.
Specialness, chosen people, deriving status from any belief,
fetishizing dates or anything – as “this one thing will do it.”
Let creative whimsy eclipse earnestness…
Let’s honor patterns (versus fetishizing.)
Collective focusing on a desirable world – what a good idea!
Absolutely, let’s re-assume imaginative responsibility for dreaming the desirable world into existence.
Our task is to cultivate, animate, magnetize the most all-inclusive irresistible story and spiral it forth into the memosphere. If we sublimate our silliness – then 11.11.11 can be sublime.
