“Same Boat Samadhi”
(Stephen Joseph’s phrase and guiding practice)
Inaugurating the Guiding Story-
It’s happening. Dynamic history. Taking shape.
Out of the con of conflict – emerging from emergency –
a sane reverent manifesto about water,
democracy, integrity.. Encouraging everyone to watch.
We will discuss and delineate.
Thanks to fellow Trickster Lynne Burns
for posting in our Trickster Facebook page.
(And splendid postings Facebook team, great gathering
of Medicine.) There’s a dynamism available to all of us now.
Magic is a willingness to collaborate with everything.
Watch Josh Fox Unity Amendment on CSPAN:

and to extrapolate further:
Let’s imagine that when we hear that people
“were treated like animals,”
that it refers to something wonderful.
1st quarter Moon in Libra square Sun in Cancer –
encourages us to tease kinship into all our relating…
Tonight we have 28+ Capricorn Rising =
“gypsy reading tea-leaves.”
(Rudhyar:) “The ability to see the signature
of hidden meaning in every occurrence
drawing one’s attention.”
(sextile) Mars 24+ Scorpio
“X ray photograph, the capacity to acquire
a knowledge of the structural factors in all existence;”
encouraging us to delve deeply.
Mars is energy eros.
We access our Mars in myriad ways.
In fairy Tales the Wise Animal
is a metaphoric animation of our Mars,
and an etiquette guiding to appropriate respect,
for the unique experiment of each being.
And in the Mythic News, to which we subscribe,
the energy we run on, personally and collectively,
metaphorically and literally (the fuel)-
is related to our animal kin.
A mythic mystery to explore.
(150 degrees exactly to) Uranus at 24+ Aries
(the other Mars sign) –
the possibility of evolution for all beings…
“Be jaunty, even though fully informed.”
(Wendell Berry)
What a hot chart we have to navigate,
running on the cool sizzle of Mars in Scorpio:
a grand cardinal square, a mutable T-square,
myriad double “Thors Hammer”s
(or some better name we might come up with.)
(two 135 degree angles with a square.)
Tragic circumstance elicits
predictable certainties and judgements,
running on the same fuel of hot reactivity,
that occasioned the tragedy.
A friend works this way,
“What would have had to have happened to me,
for me to do such a thing?”
Another colleague is a forensic psychiatrist –
called in to horrific circumstance to understand
and learn as much as possible.
“Let us not lose kinship –
even with the guiltiest among us.”
(Nathanial Hawthorne)…
The drone bomb is a literal monstrosity
of a sociopathic doofus dim-witted
limited repertoire of reactions culture.
Requires guidance…
No, your/our job is having
an ever expanding repertoire
of responses to cool out hot circumstance.
As Eddie Izzard guides:
“Star Trek, a very advanced civilization.
And yet their phasers had only two settings – stun or kill.
We need many more settings. Sudden interest in botany setting.
Bit of a limp setting. Left tea kettle on at home setting…..etc…”
As a species, we gotta have more settings than “kill.”
So let’s go way deep into the dream world of complicity.
We are all dreaming the world into being.
And as Rev Ike says: “If we can dream it up – we can dream it down!”
Solve et coagulal – dissolve and re-imagine.
All the energy being released by disruption
is available for dedication to animating a desirable story.
