Would you close your eyes if you learned astrology isn’t what it appears?
Maat
Could it be that there’s an enhanced way of looking at astrology that makes it more useful because it connects you to the present? Astrology isn’t what it appears when you understand how fractals are perceived.
At which equinox do we stop being the dream, going along with the dream, to dream ourselves?
Understanding the true essence of how and why 'mercury in retrograde'… or any fractal 'position' is a key to making your next transition of awareness.
‘Cause and effect’ are not what they appear. release attachment to their programming and find yourself in a different space.
Commentary
It’s important to remember that one set of planetary alignments, or universal occurrences are not the cause of any effect. In this place, we move our power away from pure opportunity to make changes within the perception of internal and external environments. Even with this knowledge, our language implies subtle cause and effect by its mere emphasis. Such ‘events’ associative power can be minimized by making fun of their opposites… stating things such as, ‘We cause Mercury to go into retrograde’. We know that’s non-sense! Fortunately, our language holds a contradiction which allows us to see the fractal universe, without artificial templates being superimposed upon them which infer a ‘solid’, unquestioned time.
CONSIDERATIONS
The ego is not something you kill. When we say ‘ego death’, it’s placed and posited in a language that’s reinforcing. You cannot kill some-thing and have it not be reborn. The ego is a tool, a merry-go-round in the playground. In the natural, un-inflamed dualistic dream, it supports all experience, both pain and joy… and is far away from being a tool that binds. There is no right or wrong here… the I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, science, human design; all is all born of thought, a symptom of ego. All religions, all systems, all that can be perceived is created by thought (yours or some other Wills). It’s challenging to admit when we ascribe undue honor to ‘thought’, as if it defines ourselves, but doesn’t.
There’s emancipation when you realize astrology to be a fractal based mirror borne of thought. We choose to land in these fractals, mistaking them for something outside of thought. In the present, there is no thought. From the vantage of the present, astrology then is a symptom of ego. Yet the ego can be what ever it wants when launched from the present. It can reset its birthday (or fractal), it can ‘die’ and be ‘reborn’… which changes the fractal. Nothing is set when you reside in the present.
The ‘i’Ching and Astrology tells you what ‘you’ are and how you will behave… NOT as a subscription, but as a mirror of what your self in the present has chose. But the higher-self in the present can be whatever it wishes. The objective and the subjective, the public and the hidden, the traditional and the esoteric… none are truly present. They are but suggestions and reflections of higher-self choice. In this place, astrology does not exist ‘outside’ or ‘inside’ you.
We need not define ourselves from the symptoms of our higher-selves tentative choice, for it’s just a costume.
