Tele*Coyote for Monday, February 4th at 6:00pm Pacific
Adorable that Next Week we have a coinciding of
Chinese New Year*Mardi Gras*State of the Union Address
(Dragon passes energetic Grail to Snake),
Metaphors Be With You!
We love and are agents of syncretism….and metaphor (meaning “to carry across.” So metaphoric banter be encouraged.)
Mars conjoins Neptune, squaring Jupiter and the Moon, in exact opposition.
Woo-Hoo, we shall delve into the current parade of delusional distractions to transform them into liberating illusions.
Practice: Our intimacy with the world is deepened by symbolic and mythological literacy…reading all as though it were a dream….
Divination is one form of restoring intimacy with the world, an on-going co- respondence.
The Dark makes itself known, verily unto Super Bowl in the Realm of New Orleans. (witty black-out possibly caused by mega-pop hyper-yang masculinizing machinizing of the feminine, hyper-electric half-time show.)
The Ravens won… (Our collective cultural animism has been relegated to sports teams and cars —”Until Now.”) The Ravens call themselves “Team of Destiny.”
This was the last game for retiring Ray Lewis, who said he had a prophetic dream, with the feeling of winning.
Ray Louis’ past shrouded by decade’s old accusation of murder. In the Mystery Play of pop culture, many men heroes (?) are accused of murder and bad things (“Downton Abbey,” “Homeland,” “Elementary,” and more! who are supported by loyal women…We shall ponder. Even unto Obama, who carries the shadow of those killed by drones. Our leading men are accused of murder.
Enter Sheherezade, the quintessential Woman Trickster Redeemer, who’s dedication extends even unto her sociopathic murderer-of-women dingbat husband, King Sharyar, whom she redeems.
We shall explore the theme of murderous men and the stalwart, oft crazy, women who seek their redemption.
To be effective, let’s forego finger-wagging condemnation- for deeper dream discerning of the mythic communique’, for all is speaking to us.”
Both Mallala (young girl shot in head by Taliban) and Gabby Giffords are speaking now.
Hilary Clinton enters “private life” on Candlemas.
“From Darker places of the heart, we rise to play a greater part,”
says Bre’r Leonard Cohen.
“What if fantasy is not an escape (as the Reality Police would dictate) – but an invitation into deeper effective participatory Mystery.”
(hybrid quote of me and Alex Slack)
“Some things always true, times when they are truer:”
(Neptune-Mars =) Neptunian-animal shape-shifting as personal and social strategy:
become like Coyote to form reciprocal blessing protective alliance with Coyote.
Become like Wolf to save wolf, like water to ally with water…
Wolves: Our allies who taught us silent hunting, without whose cooperation
(checking caves for saber-tooth tigers etc.), and who proffer inspiring intelligence of leadership and pack well-being.
Water Restoration of the Waters of Life and the realm of money, all of our metaphors for money are watery, currency, cash flow, rising tide lifts all boats. (but not for those with short anchors)
Draw upon the Native Intelligence and Mythological Metaphoric Resonance of Life’s Ingenuity, especially available now, at this true Candlemas, One of the Four Gates of Power, where dreams, images are especially eager to enter the manifest world.
Let “Until Now!” be our rallying cry, for all that is cruelly lacking loving kinship.It be woof woof wanna play wizardry time, decrying first, then magnetizing the irresistible invitation to the desirable story.
I can really hear my buddy Robert Bly voicing this, so wonderfully him, who lives in the Inner Council of My Heart:
Kabir trans-lated-formed by Robert Bly:
“I talk to my inner lover, and I say, why such rush?
We sense that there is some sort of spirit that loves birds and animals and the ants–
Perhaps the same one who gave a radiance to you in your mother’s womb.
Is it logical you would be walking around entirely orphaned now?
The truth is you turned away yourself,
and decided to go into the dark alone.
Now you are tangled up in others, and have forgotten what you once knew,
And that’s why everything you do has some weird failure in it.”
