Launching Our Coyote Goat Boat

 

Expanding Our Repertoire of Goat Retrieval Responses:

whereby our goat returns more frisky than before it got got. Akin to “Loving disharmony back into harmony creates a greater harmony than existed before.”
The choreography of spiraling an attack into an opportunity for strength: Grand Square in Cardinal signs!
(We shall delineate.)

 

With Mars in the last degree of Cancer, we have the opportunity  to build up psychic muscle to defend ourselves. We transform any family-ancestral toxicity into strengthening protective anti-inflammatory mojo.  Let all yarghh be embraced as an opportunity to expand our Trickster adoptogenic responses.
The necessity of focusing on an external attack appropriately re-directs any habitual self undermining, and can occasion a healing of inflammatory self predation..As long as we transform hot reaction into cool response.

 

Psycho-immunology reminds us that shame etc. create an inflammatory physiological response. Sometimes it’s good to export the inner into the outer on-stage for resolution, while simultaneously creating the desirable back-stage template.

 

Let’s explore the mystery of predator-prey dance as evolutionary assist:

(Lewis Hyde’s Trickster makes this World:) “Coyote [trickster] can imagine the fish trap precisely because he’s been a fish himself, as it were. Nothing counters cunning but more cunning. Coyote’s wits are sharp precisely because he has met other wits, just as the country bumpkin may eventually become a cosmopolitan if enough confidence men appear to school him. Some recent ideas in evolutionary theory echo these assertions. In Evolution of the Brain and Intelligence, Harry Jerison presents a striking chart showing the relative intelligence of meat-eaters and the herbivores they prey on.

Taking the ratio of brain to body size as a crude index, Jerison finds that if we compare herbivores and carnivores at any particular moment in history the predators are always slightly brainier than the prey. But the relationship is never stable; there is a slow step-by-step increase in intelligence on both sides. If we chart the brain-body ratio on a scale of 1 to 10, in the archaic age herbivores get a 2 and carnivores a 4; thirty million years later the herbivores are up to 4 but the carnivores have gone up to 6; another thirty million years and the herbivores are up to 6 but the carnivores are up to 8; finally, when the herbivores get up to 9, the carnivores are up to 10.

The hunter is always slightly smarter, but the prey is always wising up. In evolutionary theory, the tension between predator and prey is one of the great engines that has driven the creation of intelligence itself, each side successively and ceaselessly responding to the other.”

“The trickster myth derives creative intelligence from appetite. It begins with a being whose main concern is getting fed and it ends with the same being grown mentally swift, adept at creating and unmasking deceit, proficient at hiding his tracks and at seeing through the devices used by others to hide theirs.

Trickster starts out hungry, but before long he is master of the kind of creative deception that, according to a long tradition, is a prerequisite of art.”

 

3,3,3: And the chart for tonight is so spicy;

MC 3 + Capricorn reminds us we be “A Party of Campers Packing Their Canoes at Twilight – the ability to Navigate Dark Water”

exactly trines Mercury 3+ Virgo -“Black and White Children Playing Happily Together.”
