Addendum, I Ching

Rhythm and Flow – “that’s me !” Says Saturn (Captain Rhythm) in Pisces – (flow)…..

encouraging us all to find our rhythm…

As The Art of Peace (Morihei Ueshiba) guides….”Do not gaze at your opponent’s eyes, he will mesmerize you, do not stare at his weapons, he will frighten you. Create your own magnetic circle – then you can sit anywhere you like.”

Where do we focus…(1st aware of the horrible…then focus on the desirable Beautiful resolution…)

Saturn stationing—that we be agents of accountability.

Binding- the harmful,  protecting the good….

Imagining the pewter shield of protection, around ourselves…and anyone, anything in need of safe self-possession… 

Dedicating:

Tossing old vows that were once a sane assessment of how we needed to be- 

But then went blub blub blub into the shadowy depths, becoming binding spells,

identifiable, by any chronic (from Chronos- Saturn) kerfuffle in our lives….

Fun to find, but not necessary,

That we simply say, “if there be any vows I may have taken, that were once useful, but are no longer, I toss them into Pluto’s caldron, and ladle out some new, more fun vows….

Hence our ongoing dedication craft….

Our Manifesto of Dedicated Devotion…

On our way to Solstice wedding:

We divorce the part of us that got us into a pickle (Personally and collectively)..

So that:

The way opens to Solstice Sovereignty….

“Kiss the bride – for you are she – re-wedded to your destiny!” (Or  substitute groom/he )

.

And on behalf of the Leonard part of all of us, as Saturn stations opposite his Sun, 

(and many in our council are having intimate dances with Saturn, probably all of us…)-

(If resonates) We may experimentally step in….wheel and deal…(for instance:) if this (Leonard emerging free ) then this…

We vow to honor his dedication to humans humbling cooperating with Natures guiding Genius, as opportunities arise….

So deftly-

I Ching chimes in:

50 ting – the Cauldron…

“Ritual vessel that connects us to the spirit world, and the ancestors

Fate conferred by heaven, that is also a duty.

It means becoming a true and responsible individual.

The Vessel. Transformation.The Way to the Source is open.

Make an offering and you will succeed…

Contain and transform your problem through an image.

See deeply into what your problem means.

Security and a new beginning will come from this awareness.

It is a time for refection, for slowly turning and examining things.

This is the origin of great good fortune and meaningful events.

It releases transformative energy…is pleasing to the spirits.

Through it they will give you success, effective power and the capacity to bring the situation to maturity…

6 in the first-

“Do something out of the ordinary to establish a connection to the spirit world.

Turn things on their head. Get rid of the obstruction.

It will bring you happiness…

A great and flourishing time is coming. Be resolute. You are connected to Creative force.

9 at 2nd: 

“You have something real cooking inside you, a spiritual transformation.

Some around you are afflicted with negative emotions.

Stay with the transformation.

Don’t fear.

The Way is open. Proceed on your own.

30: Radiance makes people go in pairs….

Bring together what belongs together….

You have fallen and hit bottom…

Radiance shines above you.

Connect your idea with this brightness – to spread clarity and care to the Four Corners of the world .

…

This is how change occurs in the world…

Nurturing  receptive strength is so important…

Hold the heart fast and the the risk.”

Ok- then…

– Wilhelm Reich 

https://wilhelmreichmuseum.org/about/biography-of-wilhelm-reich/

Wilhelm Reich was born on March 24, 1897 in Galicia, in the easternmost part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Ukraine. He grew up in the Bukovina on a large farm operated by his father. His first language was German, and until 1938 he was an Austrian citizen.

According to The Bibliography of Orgonomy–prepared at Orgonon in 1953 under Reich’s supervision–his “interest in biology and natural science was stimulated early by the life on the farm, close to agriculture, cattle-farming, and breeding…Between his 8th and 12th years, he had his own collection and breeding laboratory of butterflies, insects and plants under the guidance of a private teacher. The natural life functions, including the sexual function, were familiar to him as far back as he could remember, and this may well have determined his strong later inclination as a bio-psychiatrist toward the biological foundation of the emotional life of man, as well as his biophysical discoveries in the fields of medicine, biology, and education.”

 

June Jordan

https://www.junejordan.net/ 

 

 

June Jordan (1936 – 2002) was a poet, activist, journalist, essayist and teacher. Prolific and passionate, she was an influential voice who lived and wrote on the frontlines of American poetry, international political vision and human moral witness. The author of many award-winning books, she traveled widely to read her poems and to proclaim a vision of liberation for all people. Dynamic, rebellious, and courageous, June Jordan was, and still is, a lyrical catalyst for change.

 

“My life seems to be an increasing revelation of the intimate face of universal struggle. You begin with your family and the kids on the block, and next you open your eyes to what you call your people, and that leads you into land reform into Black English into Angola leads you back to your own bed where you lie by yourself, wondering if you deserve to be peaceful, or trusted or desired or left to the freedom of your own unfaltering heart. And the scale shrinks to the size of a skull: your own interior cage.

And then if you’re lucky, and I have been lucky, everything comes back to you. And then you know why one of the freedom fighters in the sixties, a young Black woman interviewed shortly after she was beaten up for riding near the front of the interstate bus––you know why she said, ‘We are all so very happy’? It’s because it’s on. All of us and me by myself: we’re on.”

Audre Lorde

 

Audre Lorde (1934-1992) was a self-described “Black, lesbian, feminist, socialist, mother, warrior, poet” who dedicated her life and talents to confronting all forms of injustice, as she believed there could be “no hierarchy of oppressions” among “those who share the goals of liberation and a workable future for our children.” [2][3]

 

https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2020/09/17/the-legacy-of-audre-lorde/

 

In one of her most fiery essays, “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House,” Lorde asks, “What does it mean when tools of a racist patriarchy are used to examine the fruits of that same patriarchy?” She quickly answers her own question: “It means that only the most narrow perimeters of change are possible and allowable.”

 

Rethinking and reframing paradigms is a recurring theme in Lorde’s writing. As the child of immigrants who came to the United States for their American dream only to have that dream shattered by the Great Depression, Lorde understood the nuances of oppression from an early age. It was poetry that gave her the language to make sense of that oppression and to resist it, and she was a prolific poet with several collections to her name, including The First Cities, Cables to Rage, From a Land Where Other People Live, Coal, and The Black Unicorn.

 

Her work took other forms—teaching; cofounding Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press; public speaking; and a range of advocacy efforts for women, lesbians, and Black people. During her time in Germany, she gave rise to the Afro-German movement—helping Black German women use their voices to join the sisterhood she valued so dearly.

– Neil Douglas Klotz, Aramaic translation of the Bible “Blessed are those who plant peace”

This translation comes from one of the most fascinating spiritual books in my collection, “Prayers of the Cosmos: Meditations on the Aramaic Words of Jesus” by Neil Douglas-Klotz. It contains multiple alternative translations of the Lord’s Prayer, the Beatitudes, and three sayings of Jesus, based on Jesus’ own language, Aramaic. The original source for the Aramaic text is the Syrian Aramaic version of the Gospels known as the Peshitta version, which the church of the East regards as one of the oldest and most authoritative versions of the Bible, or at the very least, much closer to the thought forms of Jesus than the Greek versions on which our translations are based.

“Tuned to the Source are those who live by breathing Unity: their “I can!” is included in God’s.

Blessed are those in emotional turmoil: they shall be united inside by love.

Healthy are those who have softened what is rigid within; they shall receive physical vigour and strength from the universe.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for physical justice; they shall be surrounded by what is needed to sustain their bodies.

Blessed are those who, from their inner wombs, birth mercy; they shall feel its warm arms embrace them.

Aligned with the One are those whose lives radiate from a core of love; they shall see God everywhere.

Blessed are those who plant peace each season; they shall be named the children of God.

Blessings to those who are dislocated for the cause of justice; their new home is the province of the universe.

Renewal when you are reproached and driven away by the clamour of evil on all sides, for my sake…

Then, do everything extreme, including letting your ego disappear, for this is the secret of claiming your expanded home in the universe.

For so they shamed those before you:

All who are enraptured, saying inspired things – who produce on the outside what the spirit has given them within.”

Pre-Council Themes

We belong to the land….

(Rather than “this land belongs to us”)

The Solstice is where we wed the land, plight our troth….

Tis still a bewildering journey…..
to the Solstice wedding 
of all that’s been falsely estranged ….

(liberating  mazes into  labyrinths)

First the sacrament of divorce…to clear the path…(maze into Labyrinth)

Uranus always chimes in:
“We want you to divorce the part of yourself that got you into this pickle,
and then whether you stay or go – is a minor detail….we leave to you….”

We be deep delving into ancestry, personal and collective  history of humans, Hello again “Dawn of Everything” …..
What ancestral befoiblements shall we divorce dissolve in Pluto’s cauldron, and ladle out liberating dedications….….

Liberating Trickster says : “We are Big Intelligences dancing with you
We don’’t care what you do, but the manner in which you do it…
that it arise from freedom, rather than dread…..or grumpy resignation….

Honoring

Satyrn-Saturn (am keeping the initial typo)

Stationing….
in world, and somewhere customized in each of our charts/lives….

Stationing opposite Leonard Peltier’s Sun
as Jupiter trines his Neptune….
how we can best support the him part of us all…
his hearing is all day today….

decision within 21 days….
Deliberating begins now….

“deliberate”from “Libra…” librare to liberate and libare to balance …

Hence to be deliberate is to be in a state of Liberating Balance….

to see the desirable (Jupiter-Neptune…)

Tis wheel and deal with Trickster back-stage , to take on the Saturn with Leonard….

As Leonard goes free, I vow/dedicate to (fill in the blank)
and no matter  what… we keep it all going……

And always.. ..
Expectation is the partner of disappointment –
but
Willingness is the dance partner of Life….

Saturn – first fear, dread depression –
then negotiation – 
dedication…. is the antidote…..to bleakness….

(will dust off Gurdgieff’s levels of consciousness )

(and Visionary Activist Guidelines….)

So let’s continue to craft our inner dedications that we be outer agents on behalf of what we love….

Let’s animate everything, so as to be intimate…
Robert Bly quoting many, about  the “black dog of depression…”
Make everything an animal or plant….that we befriend with honor….and negotiations….

What deal can we work out?! we wonder….

Considering the Gemini-Pisces square – to give vernacular expression to deep mystery….
To give outward visible expression to inner invisible dedication…..

and see the portals whereby our inner vision enters the world (via the occipital pathway) into incarnational actuality….

Our tonight  Moon, at an especially celebratory degree – “Mardi Gras pageantry fills the streets”… quintiles Jupiter (“Holly and mistletoe – druidic life force”….

Our incentive is to express, or feel depressed and crazy – take your pick…

Mars in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius ….needs a mission –
that we, and human society wed the earth…..always returning to this….

Honoring the yod, betwixt the Moon and Ceres and Saturn….

We cannot live through the dead, but we can invite the best in them to enter our lives….

Sean has a dear team-mate, recently departed – to honor….

and we may have beloved dead whom we wish to call upon….
