  • Joggling fiery Space Balls

    Next swims the Southern Fish, which bears a Name
    From the South-Wind, and spreads a feeble Flame.
    To him the Flouds in spacious windings turn
    One fountain flows from cold Aquarius’ Urn;
    And meets the other where they joyn their Streams
    One Chanel keep, and mix the starry Beams.

    The Golden Age

    The coming of Pisces was long awaited and heralded as the blessed age, introduced by thrice-repeated Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Pisces in the year 6 B.C., that was the star of Bethlehem. Virgil announced the return of the Golden Age under the rule of Saturn: “Now the Virgin returns, the reign on Saturn returns, now a new generation descends from heaven on high. Only thou, pure Lucina, smile on the birth of the child, under whom the iron brood shall first cease, and a golden race spring up throughout the world!”.

    Iam redit et Virgo, redeunt Saturnia regna.

    – Virgil, Fourth Eclogue

    Virgo would indicate the autumnal equinox at the time when Pisces took over the celestial government of the vernal equinox, at the new crossroads. The ancients had enough instruments to detected this slow motion, that applied to the whole sky and Hipparchus in 127 B.C. named it The Precession of the Equinoxes. Modern archaeologists and scholars have been ignorant about this and there is not enough evidence, when exactly and which culture discovered first this astral occurrence. This ignorance is of course the beginning of split thought of separation on history, archaeology, astronomy, astrology and the whole story of myth and the creation of the World, that is of great value for better understanding of life. Today the Precession is well established fact, not effected by space and time continuum. The ancients believed that this great cycles could effect humanity as a whole. “They were astronomers and astrologers, that believed that the sliding of the sun along the equinoctial point affected the frame of the cosmos and determined a succession of world-ages under different zodiacal signs. They had found a large peg on which to hang their thoughts about cosmic time, which brought all things in fateful order. Today, that order has lapsed, like the idea of the cosmos itself. There is only history, which has been felicitously defined as “one damn thing after another.” – from Hamlet’s Mill book.

    Argo Navis constellation, known as the “Boat of Osiris” and from the myth of “Jason and the Argonauts” transporting the “Golden Fleece (of a ram), undertaken probably to introduce the Age of Aries. (see A. B. Cook, “The European Sky-God”)

    You are perfect

    Regardless of what the common schools teach our children, our fiery space ball has been traveling through many centuries, appearing in stories inspired by the different symbolic creatures, the fish, or the dolphin, or the shark… whatever you want to call the golden Piscean energy has tattooed the times we live in. This was the age of Jesus, Mohamed and Buddha. And you would ask, but why did this age marked so much wars and division and pains, far from experiencing the World as one consciousness? This loving warm fluff traveling through the void of time, was perhaps wrongly understood. What did we learn from all the religious teachings that separated us? Or did someone use it for purposes that were meant to fill our faith with illusion? And you would be right to ask all this questions. Perhaps not everyone was ready for the initiation of the golden fluff ball. Such is the mysterious nature of life, eternal learning, while dancing on the string of time, untangling universal understandings, while holding on to daily routines and survival.

    Somewhere along the path, separation happened. Because of the different experience, the two fishes divide. One going down and one up; where the bottom fish is in fear and there understanding cannot serve as empowering love glue, while the upper fish holds the key of higher frequencies. We often fail to see that Jupiter magic here can expand joyful realms, but could also bring out dark illusions, waters filled with fish tails bleeding out from ignorance. Such is the nature of dreams, they can be projected and serve as magical films, which guide us to certain realities, but if we are not able to see within, the subconscious penetrated by the light residing in our star brushed heart, we lose grip in this dream waters, mistaking illusions for awareness. To be aware requires you to navigate with your eyes within the dark realms of your inner ocean. It teaches you to breath and swim, instead of drowning.

    The ultimate task of the two fishes is to unite the Yin and Yang energies, melting the conscious with the milk of origin. The tripping mind, which creates fractals unifying the time clock, back into the sublime eternal momentum, might trick itself to do it for a purpose. This should be no escape for the mind, but a bliss of joy and purity washing the soul with white primal light. Here we meditate, not to go out of the realm, but to become one with it. To transcend the thoughtless dream and visualize the divine reality of emptiness stretched between the polarities of the fish sign. This request of no back motives and warrior heart. When in fear, tripping balls becomes a long journey down into the primordial dark.

    The drunken fish age brought us on a distant shores, far from our Earth center. Emerging from the waters, with fish belly woven on nano plastic sea weed. We have drugged the sea on pharmaceuticals, dried our rivers, exhausted our bodies with GMO foods, poisoning the soil we walk above. Contrary to forgiveness, unity and peace, we have experiences many wars. Instead of forgiveness, we have created asylums, jails and bars, where our emotions dance in the alcohol waters. This divisions begun with the conquering of lands, establishing colonies, creating weapons for mass destruction, while unifying lands under political flags. Our unity was expressed under nationalities, instead of tribes, divided by passports and newly written histories, demanding patriotic feelings. Erasing the awareness that once many of the languages we feel related to, emerged from larger language groups, living in amnesia of spelling and symbolism, we have forgotten how to connect back with our parents- the celestial bodies residing constellation worlds of stars.

    Observing the space through telescopes, the inner body through microscopes, we have lost our touch with the whole. Keeping animals in zoos- we have forgotten how to hunt and sit in owe with the setting sun. Seeking unification through smaller nationality groups, while globalizing economies, so land can be sold easier to enrich only specific cooperation and families. The false projection of unification under left and right political ideologies, has blinded us, separating us from far more richer in ideas human spirit. We have given communism and capitalism such a great meanings, without noticing how much both are the same coin different side. Today we can clearly see the structure of the matrix imposed, which serves as a net, where our Fish Age resides. The structure of illusions build to hold us captive, so much alive, that we can just serve as a dinner to the powers, that continuously exploit us and the Earth resources. We have given ourselves blindly to beliefs, that separate the two fishes in Pisces.

    Yet, we have lived to hear progress of music and development of electronic sounds. Powerful new spiritual teachers have spoken, Sufi poets have inspired, dervish dancers and singing styles have emerged from this Piscean Age. Many took their subconscious glimpse to the outer, crafting eternal beauty from the many colorful shells found in their subconscious delirious realms. Perhaps the fishes gave us deep emotional knowledge, stretching from painful to loving and kind. During the Age of Pisces, we did create magical shrines, books of rhymes and songs of soul, kneaded breads feeding with beauty. This was the age of new spiritual sciences and revival of many freedoms in the shape of artistic expressions. We have seen fashion and art, music, dance, architecture and academia and technology bloom in most eccentric ways. We have experienced space travel, culinary phantasiertes of intercontinental tastes and communication in almost intergalactic manner. But we have forgotten from where we once emerged.

    Only through my fourtytwo years of living in this momentum, I have experienced two major political systems, evolution of medicine, possibility to talk via screen, to record my thoughts digitally and store all in virtual cloud space. But does not this sound already like the Age of Aquarius?

    Yes, apparently we have entered the Aquarius Age in the beginning of the 19th century, while the Aquarius Cycle will officially begin in year 2338. Some say it begun in 2309 BC, or in 1912, others in 1960s after the Dionysion Wave. I think that for sure with the discovery of the computer, the progression of communication services and devices, with the uniting power of social media platforms, we can recognize the workings of the Aquarius magic. Unfortunately at the moment this workings cannot display the level of universal consciousness, simply because selective algorithms empower only certain information to be received by the individual, guarded by medias, corporation businesses, ruled by politically operated strings of the fisherman. This is the same fisherman, who erased purposely the divine message from the ancient times, turning it into religious dogma. This is the double faced fisherman, who had interest to captivate the fish, feeding it with deception. The internet is as corrupted, as dark fish from the Pisces combo, which resides in the net, somehow alive, but unable to swim free. These fishes, that have managed to escape the matrix, have brought back knowledge of the origins, reviving old memories, stored inside our bellies. This is the beginning of how we want this World wide web to be spreading, while catching freely pears from every level of the sea. We are our own prisoners of the rules we have have given power to.

    Sweet child of the stars

    Many humanly questions need time to be resolved, that would allow us to transit into the Aquarius Age, progressing together as human race. But this Ages are given names and meaning by us humans? They do not exists, unless we create calendars and calculate the Precession of the Equinoxes and have religious backgrounds. Perhaps this calculations are important to us? The ancients knew of this calculations and used them as navigator through time, to measure what are the energies of the stellar current, which effects the overall symphony of the Earth songs. This is a wisdom knitted in our myths, legends holding a key to the mysteries of life? Perhaps this cyclic mysteries help us remain on course, not bothered by the outcome. Because every cycle has inevitable beginnings and endings. Knowing this circuits, would free us from expectations. As long as our mind is imprisoned and our authenticity- masked with false beliefs, disconnected from our true heart desire, we will be unsuccessful to define the parameters of our dreams. We would create false moral and dilemmas, rejecting freedom of thought and speech. We would not be able to rest in the cosmic cradle and enjoy the ride as it is. If the Precession was seen as the great clock of the Universe, the sun, as it shifted at the equinox, remained the measure of all measures, the “golden cord”, as Socrates says in Theaetetus. We cannot control the space, even if we calculate it in linear time. What could be useful, is simply to be aware of this cosmic pendulum and its processions. Because as we learn on the way, becoming more aware of the skies, which are hard to see in our big city lives, we should not trust the historians, who claim that Stonehenge was build by “howling barbarians”. It is time we look closer as above, so below into the ground. This is the Age of occultism and the time to lift certain illusionär veils imposed on us. If we can con-spire, or “breath together”, we could expand our universal consciousness. But this journey begins of course first from within.

    In this frame of reality, Aquarius asks us to forget gender, status or occupation, but it does speak of integrity, cleanness in ethical principles, asking us of inclusion, only after detachment from what does not serve well. Aquarius acts as liberator, the carrier of knowledge, while pouring the stellar plasma, which is our unified Ida river of energy flow, connecting our left and right breathing channels of Pingala and Suchumana, our circulatory system, streaming through our higher mind, that activates through the nervous system with our motor, the heart. This plasma is the electric circuit of the blood river in the body. The heart, ruled by opposite sign Leo, is considered by the ancients as the Main Brain. Even if you brain is dead, the heart still remains working. The heart is the precious stone, which Egyptians weight against feather. Encrusted with our golden memories or sour kraut anger? The heart emitting yellow light, creative Prana, is the center of our own Body-Planet. This central point, from which the upper and the lower part stretches. This heart axes are the strength and will power, that Leo sign presents. Are we ready to enter this Aquarian Age? Are we unified and yet independent enough not to feel lonely in World, which is full of contradictions, while all seems to function upside down? Are we ready to be responsible drivers of our solar ships and extend our rays far and beyond? Before we can fully enter the colors of the Aquarian space and dance like a fireflies in the night skies, we have to master transmutation of sexual energy, or power yoga. We have to have master pranayama, mantra and prayer, so we would be able to emit light, while collecting honey for the service of flowers to enjoy honey eating. We have to know the higher principle of love is the intelligent love of truth and compassion.

    After the achievement of unity of the two Piscean polarities, whether done through yoga, dancing, devoted work or use of natural medicine, the unity within should have freed us from the need of methods by now. Mastery through sacrifice, practice of forgiveness and exercise of imagination, symbols of the Aquarian gates. When done correctly, under the supervision of the opposite of Pisces, the sign of Virgo, the result is purified by separation of the bad grains, leaving only what’s useful and serves. This is the Mercury intelligence that nourishes and trades, without depleting others and the Earth. Watching my grandma in her garden, plucking out the dry leaf and grass around her crops, throwing the bigger stones out of the dirt to preserve and give space for the plants to grow. This is the Virgo observant hand, which nourishes the soil, while separating the undesired from what prevents the flowers to grow. This kind of earthy control, is the very foundation of Virgo, which has been pulling the Pisces paradigm in order to succeed its spiritual path. Just as a parent would select the child what films to watch. There are films in this Neptune inspired Age, that support the imagination in us and other which provoked fears. As we transit the borders of this Ages, our imagination will be the tool for creation and our fears, setting the limitations upon it. As emotional purity and intellectual hygiene give strength on this heroes journey crossroad.

    But are we ready to embody this knowledge, or we fear the “illuminati”? Giving them the power, instead of accumulating it, would be a mistake. Likewise, stretching in yoga postures, eating soy beans and drinking rice milk, does not justify purity of the soul. As anything else, the path of the occult and enlightenment is like a rabbit hole. Not everyone can be initiated and not everyone will be ever prepared for the harsh reality, revealed for those who reject to exist in otherwise submissive position. Everyone can choose to bite the apple or remain obedient to the imposed reality. As a children we were told about monsters and bad witches and yes, they are real. But what do they mean to you, it is ones own journey to define. In each of us there is a shadow residing. This shadow plays initiation role, once we are aware of it. This quality is perhaps one of the main tools in the processes to distinct truth from illusion. Requiring experience and vision through the veil, that is hard to attain, unless strengthening practices have kept the child within alive, while the body and the mind well stretched.

    Imperfect balances

    Aquarius ask us to reconnect with the imagination of spirit, authentic, inspiring and free from any conditioning intellectual parameters. While Leo asks us to be brave, innocent like children, curious to learn through play, to become our own Suns. To master your inner Sun, one needs to develop energy balance, mastering the magisterium of fire, streaming golden Buddha light, sitted in protective triangular Padmasana pose. To be unbreakable, while calm and yet full of energy. Padmasana is the pose which grounds our fiery relational energy to the roots, while letting our stream energy, to pull us towards the skies, beyond the stars. As a golden flower, we open for the cosmic bees to collect from our knowledge, remaining calm within our own solar center and joyful for anyone who comes along. We duft aromas and with curious mind communicate with other flowers, while swimming in the dirty pond.

    We are perfect within our imperfections, because we understand that all is subliminal owe, every minute the conditions might change, but our soul remains… and no matter how dry our stems become, we are connected through the juices from the Earth below, streaming intergalactic knowledge. Every yoga Asana we will ever make, every movement, every coffee, jump, walk and yawn, will align us back with skies. Creating mirror projections in different dimensions, we never stop breathing. Each breath, is life within. Each inhale, is healing on cellular level. And yet, we do not need to heal. We need to just put breath into pain and open memory leafs. Every leaf, stored history in dew drop shape. Memory is painful, because it is attachment, which programs us to believe in I. Who is I? Human has only specific amount of breaths. Make every breath count in the making of your solar sword. The warrior of light, has to build through this pain the truth sword, that no one else can carry for. This is the sword, that protects the soft child within. Because you is I -Leo, the child and I is ALL-Aquarius, we are one-collective consciousness, build upon the swords of truth we carry.

    Brave heart temple

    In the next age chapter, we will define who is I and who is We. And how every individual consciousness, realm of intelligent thought materialises. We will work with the High Mind yellow chakra, which is the lens towards the heart. Our eye is often blurred with trauma stains. What withholds us from having crystal clear inner eye, are many strings, energy attachments and false color lenses. Seeing reality as it is and yet contemplating with our own growth. It is a interconnection play. Play of how we see the World and dance through the Maya curtains. Most of us conditioned by parents, society, status, school etc. have lost the child power of creativity. We all can create. We are all powerful to make any action in the form of art, creating sacred geometrical alignments. We were not born to choose between servant or master. Architects of the future, this is were we came to be active participants in the play of life. Parents learning from children and not vice versa. Children radiate pure creativity energy. The kind, which humanity needs now for empowerment of recreation. How to bring back our inner child using the “lion’s roar”, while channeling our dreams? Dream yoga practices is one powerful practice, which could serve anyone and everyone.

    When we fall asleep, we drop below the dualistic ego. We temporarily disconnect from the superficial layers of mind and connect to our shared awakened nature—our collective buddhanature.

    Leo symbolizing the guiding parent, creative love and care, while holding on to own sovereignty. Being your own king, making your own kingdom shine. Today we live in cities, close to each other and yet, separated. Leo string ask us to create and empower our inner Kingdoms. Expressing dignity while standing for our beliefs, like the white lions of Africa, who carry the torch of light high. This flame can burn cities, if the Leo power is badly dignified. The dark side of the fiery sign, represents the Dogma of the Church, which killed millions in the name of Christianity religion, building churches on the hills, were once pagan rites adored the mother Goddess. Badly dignified Leo, acts with arrogance, revengeful and full on pride. The kind of tyrant, pictured in the face of many Roman Rulers, where noble honor was displaced by thirst for domineering power over the World in need for glorification. The other kind of Lion’s dark side was seen in the Wizard of Oz. Representing the self pitying, hurt self, which could not recognize his own powers, does acting cowardly. The lion, which needs lot of attention, seeking through admiration to fill up the gaps in his own belief, lacking self love, which is the ultimate ignition for the Lion’s heart.

    Without self love, narcissistic tendencies appear and as we see often in humanity, trauma creates more trauma. The difference between the Parquet Lion and the White Lion are in their action. One is only to shine for the crowd amusement and the second one is to serve. Because only through service to its people, the King truly shines. And Leo is the crowned brave heart, the power, which resides only in the taking of the authority, expressing courage, generosity and compassion, in order to become royal guard of the tribe and the dignity he presents. This is the mythological king who punished himself, when someone in his kingdom did wrong.

    There is the royal star of the Leo constellation, Regulus- the “heart of the Lion”, which recently moved from the Leo’s Heart, into the constellation of Tropical Virgo. Due to the Precession of the Equinoxes, this major shift created something, which can be translated as a change of Royalty from masculine to feminine sign. I wrote about it, at the time of this shift, which for me signifies the empowerment of the “Virgin Mary”, in all of us. The beast after all acts in direct motion, lighted by this intuitive yellow beam. But we have entered an new paradigm of intuition, which requires precision and nurturing, the kind which the Madonna of the skies can provide. Perhaps this marks a new beginning for the Matriarchate, challenging the direct masculine actions, which carry in negative motion assertiveness, competition and destructive energies, when not channeled properly. We have entered age of fixed masculine signs Leo-Aquarius, that should create inspiring, creative and intelligent fire. The new way of governing, will be the one without ruling. It will be done in a manner of simply carrying.

    One cannot serve for the greater good unless he is detached and able to see the full spectrum. The negative trails of Aquarian magic can be division of society, while disregarding others. The danger is also in this Aquarius inspired humanism, that we help and support the “dark side”. Meaning, that at times Aquarian energy acts as it “knows all” and is “better than others”… being smart pants and letting “lower mind” hang. Here we need the warm caring heart of Leo to empower “progress for all”, but under the supervision of Saturn, who teaches in distinction between right and wrong. Saturn as the Lord of cause and effect, acts as grand separator for what is not serving well. Leo’s can act as “needy for reassurance children”, that they are doing right and are good and here Saturn can be the teacher, so they can channel ideas, creativity and passion and radiate for all. The Aquarius independent approach, can often lead towards detachment and coldness, which prevents mutuality and stagnates the heart. Both astrological signs, have hard time on learning, because their energy is fixed Yang, they express in a ways active warmth. Their power is in the “original thought” and one of the most useful tools in the World is “imagination”. Perhaps we are not even in the Age of Aquarius, but in whole new constellation we never birthed from before? Let us stand on the ecliptic and imagine our ship.

    Are we brave and open enough for new ideas, learning and loving with detachment? This is the call of this “New Age” paradigm. The call for unification of purpose, interconnection, so we can explore space and live on Earth as is the Paradise, which is no were else to be found, but here now and within. We have much to do before we can get to this point of “freeing our minds”. Saturn asks us to serve and work hard, so nothing will be freely given without steady work towards common progress. But Saturn here should have already learned from the previous sign Capricorn, everything about Location Astrology, sacred geometry, masonry, planning and tribal responsibilities. Here in the sign of the streaming water of knowledge, we pour the concrete base of our temples and start building the monuments, from which we can be closer to our stellar Gods.

    But what are the false presumptions and dangers of this New Age movement? It is the intelligence of a nurse, that can serve and care, without being emotionally involved. It is the soul purpose to be able to distinguish between compassion and toxic relation. Healthy boundary needed in order to prevent trauma bonds, that seem to come with this New Age movement. What about the yearning attachment towards reaching “enlightenment”? Hopefully by now, we have grounded our desires through yoga practices and feel perfection in the space and time we experience. By now we should never feel lonely, misunderstood and isolated, instead we have reached powerful unity with our three bodies and stand firm in our own truth.

    Let your mind on Brain Adventure

    Sometimes you don’t have to go far in order to encounter magical synchronicity and visits from spirits. As a little girl, I was mesmerised by the crystal clear surface of mountain lakes. As eyes reflecting the skies, they seemed of a intergalactic openings, where I would camp on large rocky stones, creating villages for my heroes. They were imaginary friends found in stone cracks, flower buds and chopped wood sticks. Plants, insects and stones made perfect heroes. I could spend hours lost in the mountain lake areas playing with fairies.

    How to preserve the child inside needs its own story. If you still read this, then you must appreciate my almost automotive channeled instinctual blabber, where my pen dipped in the space ink. It is so hard to write without purpose, to detach from reason. And I remember as a painter age around nine, my “making art abilities” became corrupted. How? Well, I painted since I was five years old. I had my first exhibition age seven and sold most of my works. My drawing circle teacher would kept me isolated from the other kids, so I did not disturb them with my endless story telling mind fart. In my drawings humans had huge black hands with long extended fingers, reminding of tree roots. This very hands gave me this distinct signature in drawing. I loved to draw trees and at age of seven, my work shows first signs of ecological thinking and compassion towards animals. Soon after I started to change my style, copying other girls, who I visualized as more clean and precise in their work. I begun painting typical girly princesses, getting lost in their ideas and what “nice painting” should look like.

    Collage by Mariano Peccinetti

    It is approximately at this age of seven, I would say, that I begun questioning myself. Disbelieving in my craft and the World around. The World rejected my natural ways, my visions, were restrained. Some teachers pushed this process even further by telling me I “write as with my feet”. I was confused… I did not fit the “norms” I wanted to fit so much into. Put in between the need to stop or copy, I decided to stop drawing, soon after two of my best friends got into art college and my application was rejected. They had “important contacts”, who gave them the chance to study art. I felt deeply hurt, realizing the unfairness of life. My idealism and expectations, created so many contradiction emotions in the heart. Rejected and abandoned children grow with inflicted pain, toward the society. This was very heavy on my imagination and I begun declining in curiosity and passion to learn at school. I hated school and did everything in my capability to show it. This turned me of course into troubled teenager, growing dark gothic hidden feelings. This is what the “System” does to us…. at least some of us. And this is the moment we loose “ourselves”, in order to fit. We become children of obedience, in order not to disappoint. We start punishing ourselves and hide our true nature. Developing all forms of addictions and attachments, to cover this inner pain. We start “self loath processes” or other traits, which does not necessarily end badly, because many take this feelings of “society rejection”, making the best of it. But many are not capable of finding this strength. Turning into sad old children, who live unhappy lives, seeking pleasure in short term joy. Perhaps goths are the natural sensitive children, who still resides in many of us, who see through the system cracks. This are the broken kids, which I speak about. This is where the Authority Saturn needs to approve that imagination and curiosity as the most precious attributes one should preserve at any cost and push gently for achievement. This is where the Leo joyous smile resides, when the spirit is left to create freely. Leo is the basic ruler of the 5th house of joy, creativity, talents and children. It is the house before the cycle turns into duty 6th.

    Let us support originality and different visions… even if they don’t make sense. Let us build that rainbow, we all so much need today. Let us look around, nature has such an amazing creations, gifts, we are blessed to have in our lives. There is so much color, shape and mysteries, which the child wants to discover. Lets play!

    Origin of originality

    All this questions arise, ever since stone fell over man’s head producing sound of weeping awe. “No one here will get out alive”, shouts Jim Morrison and exposes his finger. The publicum responds extatically, chaos outbursts and naked breast join in dance towards the ledderhosen zipped Dyonisian God. But the cops disguised from this explict spectacle, collect the masked theatrical man, with following claims of inappropriate behavior. Exhibitionism is a normal conduct of exposing naked parts to disturb, to violate or to seduce. Back in antiquity most statues in the museum depict barely dressed or full on naked humans standing on city blocks. Children do this in kindergarten in order to compare their intimate parts. The human body has been subject of comparison and amusement, since we existed. Who got the big one alpha? Through the developement of social life structures, the birth of clothing and later fashion, the need to define our status became of major evolutionary importance. As philosophy grew in prominence, so did the characteristics of the Greek Gods, depicting human and super natural atributes, through which we could identify.

    But what is identity? Is it something we born with? Can we decribe simply people, by appointing them with some standertized conditions, which they embody and this way classify them like bugs on a needle in the natural history museum? Since the days of first documented human analyzis, man has spend plenty of time to generate archetypical symbolism. There are various of methods used by ancient philosophers, modern psychologist, mediums, criminal detectives, military strategists and so on. Starting from simple numerology, which corrensponds with the color map, which in itself corrensponds with the musical notes, the alphabet letters, the chacras, the electric frequinces and so on, we had open the Mysterium door of existence.

    Some humans are curious and this curiosity is the very foundation of seeking answers, attaining knowledge through experience and perhaps wisdom at some point. Those humans, who still hold the child inside, unnattained, always seeking answers, they become the researchers, the astronauts, the poets, sailors and sometimes the drifting from society drunks, mad scientist, animal saviours. How did our great-ancestors discovered the connection of planetary bodies, cycles, stars and gave them names? How did they drew whole constellations in their caves, if they were naked and had no tools to develop further eye sight? Perhaps the absence of electricity, smart phones, drones and other games, gave them simple time for full awareness. Or an alien races educated them on the basics? Obviously originality is extracted from the origin of all, back to base major Tom. Perhaps originality stands for being in union with all non formal and non pretencious… and wild.

    Ever since man existed he was looking inside, to find the answer within.

    Show me the way to the next absinth cave

    Perhaps the early drawings of Pleiades, sacrificing of animals and other mysterious rites, was after all ignited by spiritual herbal mixtures, jungle smokes and earthy dopes, involving one or more psychotropic worm, mushroom or herbal component. We know that taking psychotropic substances alters our state of mind, often done in initiation process, which requires to be naked in cave, in half a sleep state of trance, where one penetrates fear in order to meet his shadow on the other side. This is one story. For sure, our human mind has the capacity to expand or shrink. For sure the practices of observation wheather through telescope, absinthe, yoga or climbing, freezing naked in meditative pose for days, are giving us the possible answers, triggering our need for quest towards the higher realms and distant truths. This could happen also during near death experience, after great loss or even breathing technique. But we can be certain, that humans have since ancient days calculated, marked and worshipped the effects of the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus, which are our closes Planetary bodies. Amazingly they have also noticed the further bodies and not to mention that there are proofs that they knew and especially worship certain stars, constillations and even Pluto. The planetary cycles and other major events in the skies, were connected to human sacrificial ceremonies and other mystical rites. And they did not even supposivly had telescopes back in those cave days.

    The four elements of the Earth with the twelve signs of the zodiac, from ‘Des Proprietez des Choses’ by Barthelemy l’Anglais, 1445-50 (vellum) by French School, (15th century); Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, France; (add.info.: Les quatre elements dans la terre autour les douze signes du zodiaque; ‘Livre des proprietes des choses’; translated by J.Corbichon into French; Bartholomeus Anglicus (1203-72) was an early 13th century scholastic scholar of Paris, a member of the Franciscan order. He was the author of the compendium De proprietatibus rerum, dated at 1240, an early forerunner of the encyclopedia. Bartholomew the Englishman; Bartholomaeus); Archives Charmet; French, out of copyright

    It is apparent, that humans were sacrificing and self medicating since day one. Was that born out of fear and because our ancestors were simple minded? No matter how advanced or impeded, they saw the World and the night skies and the life on Earth with honor towards the forces beyond their power. They honored the “Gods” and their Gods were the wind, the trees, the water and the clouds. The knowledge of the dark sky fathers, the ancestors who looked at us at day and night is as old as we can imagine. Perhaps this honoring and fear are most important values we have lost as mothern idustrial population. The knowledge that everything evolves, nothing is eternal and the gratefullness to be be alive, share and taste this life, humbly and respectfully. We have lost this with our distractions. Man became the all mighty or submitted his power to system, relligion and something that it is not that simple anymore.

    What is Astrology? Do we need it? Does it work?

    Was Astrology man made? Of course and of course not. All native people and tribes, have creation stories of the Gods. Astrology, Astronomy, Mathematics, Geometry, Physics and Chemistry, they are all projections. Humans projected all over the world same visions, which through the ages exchanged meaning and the story has its circles and waves, which takes us through labyrinth of self-discovery, which eventually eats its tail in order to create space for new discoveries. The ever expanding and contracting roller-coaster, whos dragon head wagon chaises its tail in spins. Dizzy yet? Astrology is like a map or game board. There are players and we are the observants. One should never become too attached with the game, but through playing one sees certain rules and when applying them, he can enjoy with less loss, maybe.

    Who decided the meaning of Astrology, such as the Planets etc. Well, obviously it runs between humans, that they attribute and give meanings, which surprisingly maybe slightly vary, but in general seem to speak of the same celestial bodies. Everyone seems to be charging from the same collective big umbrella brain, calls collective consciousness, or sucking from the matrix tit, if you like. Don’t agree? Well, then how do you explain that the meaning of Venus in so many stories is almost same? How come all this archetypes described by the Greek mythological drama, fit to be same as the heroes from the Egyptian stories, the Sumerian and Etruscan, Nordic Sagas and Celtic druid stories? Who was the first to tell this, maybe the rest copied it? Well sure, but this automatically means, we are preconditioned, we have archetypes and there is no were to run wild in ideas, so ideas repeat. Hm.. Do cats ready astrology?

    The stars created the Planets and the Planets created us. Really? The Constellations gave birth to the Zodiacal signs and the Signs gave birth to the meanings of this comedy-drama called life, by introducing us into six houses of play, which are then duplicated to create double vision reflecting another 6 houses, calculating all together 12 houses. After all, our own duplicity in the body creates division. Two eyes, two hands, two legs, two ears, two sexes, two brain hemaspheres, just as the Earth has two as well. This division creates all this wonderful pendulum of on and off feelings. Black and white dance of the negative-positive, weaving the carpet of life’s wonder through negative exposure. You can never see all of this carpet, while it is simultaneously been waved. But you want to find out, who is playing behind. Who is making this carpet? Or is it projection of your own imagination? Maybe you believe someone is making all this. And this is holographic image of whats happening elsewhere? The curiosity, the need to have explanation and to progress mentally, by giving an answer to all by discovering who made us is madness in a way. Do we need reasoning in order to proceed and feel secure in life? And yet, there is logic in all. The logic lies in the rhythm, the rhythm of the sound of the drum. The universal drum, which is roar of creation. Each celestial body creates sound. Each sound collides, resonates and merges with others. Each merging alchemical reaction makes a key, which is a symbol. An opening for a door.

    This is the secret of the celestial song. It is the symbiosis of the coexistence of all. The dark matter surrounding. The light projection creating matter. The egg incubating and from the darkness reborn into matter. All vibrates, dances in certain rhythmic steps, flowing into chaos, distortion and melody to bring things in order again. It seems that, the whole Planet would have been going on in this frivolious mysterium dance, but we the humans had to get smart and create our own movements, which don’t match the vibration. Now we have over ruled ourselves. Checkmate, maybe. Maybe it is not so good to know it all. To put our hands and minds behind the curtains. To ask too much. That is why this occult knowledge, was named that way in first place. To keep us playful kids hands out of the candy jar. Too much candy can cause sickness, for those who’s stomach is not prepared to swallow the plastic. Sugar feeds the hungry ghosts. In the wrong hands, knowledge could cause sickness.

    Information is power, but awareness is selective transmission shield needed

    And yet, if we don’t empower ourselves, like the first humans did. They were communicating through the dark space, making sounds, drawing elks, building stone circles to resonate cyclic energy, making pyramids to accumulate earth magnetic flow and were even howling on the Moon light as woolf would. Maybe. There was a common symbol language written throughout many caves around the World, which people used for communicating. This means, people were connected even before language and before cars and before internet, they were broadcasting same feelings. Now we can build AI, but we have had always within us the possibility to use telepathy. We just lost the tunning. We still make offerings to the Space-Lords, aware of the cyclical times dancing in trance in techno clubs on neon light, dressed in vinyl. So nothing changed. We still shoot rockets in space and write tales of comets destroying the earth. We are the actors now. We just play and speculate. We are so much more advanced. We have robots, so we don’t need to connect with the nature, but nature serves us.

    We all know that things in life are not linear and that the recordings of these cycles, are clear evidence of our human evolution and the corresponding changes in our history, which are strictly connected to astral fenomens. Yes, this records have amazing significance in how accurately the point out certain changes. Unfortunately most were burned, some saved and others belong to rare colelctions of the Vattican library, where no one can enter. We sit on the verge of great history cross-over bridge to a new era. We are becoming more and more aware of this surrounding mysterium and many people have awaken in thirst for that knowledge. We dig back into the dusty books, we listen to bold old man, who have over half life of style into the mathematical numbers and circular charts. Some prefer the thick accent dark skinned Vedic story tellers, others like academical approach with their astral coffee news, third enjoy hairy legged yogi mamas, who have embraced the stars as their chakras, reading cards, lining up precious stones with symbols on a mango smoothie carpet jungles. There is a revival of astrology, herbalism, holistic way of positivism and this is natural reaction of the clear misinformation, mass fake news, earth polution and rise of internet. After all, astrology is about connecting the dots, the stars and your skin moles. Everything has its sacred geometrical resonating meaning.

    Even if you don’t buy this incarnation story, it can teach you on self-empowering and how you can use the potential of your time. Forcing you to be the mathematician of your life’s formula. Reveling the secrets of paths and crosses, where you realize how timing is the most important occurrence. Everything has its time. You would appreciate much more your life and see that everyone has struggles. You would understand how to deal at best with those issues and be prepared. You would see the mysterium string waving all your life connections towards greater appreciation of this gift, that life is. Understanding that, you will discover when to do what and surprisingly you would safe energy and resources and achieve more. Being the architect of your dreams and participating honestly in the creation of empowering common dream, which is less imprisoned in false solutions. Nothing coming from technology, politics or other money-ideology born idea, would be as valuable after realizing the mystery and appreciating the knowledge of cycles. Living more healthy life and experiencing all as it is, is just one side of astrology. You might forgive those who had hurt you and might appreciate more the hardships. Seeing the changes with greater wisdom and letting go of upset why some people are not on your wave length. Everyone vibrates on their own journey. But collectivly, we have also the further planets which connect this journey into the big boat. This is the cruise, which marks generational changes and bigger wheels of evolution.

    The story teller of your story, Astrology is the birth, life and death map, which holds numerical coordinates, color biorythm diagram of your life symphony. How you would use to navigate, through your life with the colors, is question of choices made. It takes clear mind to be able to read. One can know more, but if the mind is clouded and the heart has no pure intention, it could bring “wrong” direction.. suffering, roadblock. This means hygiene in way of experiencing life is required for one to be able to make great use of the star knowledge. You are the driver of your own ship. The numbers are just Morse code from the Gods. The translation can vary, depending on the language. That is why most favorable is, to learn interpreting the meanins by yourself, so no one would read or “describe” it for you. It is important to “hear” it with your own ears. There are astrologers out there, who take themselves too seriously and sound like they know it all. But being able to work as a medium, serving simply as pure metal wire, through which one can channel synthesia of sounds… It is the art of becomming the Astrologer with theremin like instrument. Navigating knowledge should come from inside, invisible touch, tasting the weather with tongue… this kind does not born from book shelves alone. It takes years of practice, just like any other work, but most of all it requires wisdom, curiousity, gift of playful observation without attachment and purity in hand.

    So should one believe in astrology or not? Whatever. It is not important. Astrology works with or without believe. If you think that one will react and change his life accordingly to an opinion, then people must be helpless, brainless creatures, who have no power and instinct to think for themselves. This is not true. Some people can get tricked. Of course. Ever since man existed, there are trickster too. But perhaps its just one part of our subconscious playing the shadow game. So we can trick ourselves into all kinds of conclusions. But they are in the end our own pearls. If Astrology is charlatanism, then any political, economical or other ideology should be considered as such as well.

    Then why NASA still claims Astrology is for fools and it is pseudo science, if most of the ancient astronomers like Kepler, Newton and so on, were firstly Astrologers. How come all ancient monks who dedicated their lives to write scriptures, the civilizations which carved stones and megaliths according to positions of the lights above, where not considered as astrologers or astronomers? Did not Astronomy emerge from Astrology? Did not Modern Medicine emerge from Astrology? Was not Paracelsus, the man who once claimed:

    All things are poisons, for there is nothing without poisonous qualities. … The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy. Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.

    Do we need further validation of the value and potential capacity which Astrology has given to the humanity in the way to understand the things in life, which all together are not separate sciences, such as psychology, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, physics, humanistic studies, social and historical studies. All this separation has only brought the humanity in to cycle of unfortunate events. The main separation of technology-science and religion has caused major disruptive thinking about life. We have to decide between good and evil, between reason and hypothesis, between the invisible and visible, between the heart and the mind. Why? When they can all work together hand in hand and explain the world and life to us and our children in most marvelous ways. Why are we not willing to teach children the magical process of life, without disecting it through science studies?

    The magical song of the Spheres is the message from the far out distant spaces, where sounds translate life in new levels of understanding. Or the need not to understand and know all. But just to trust our inner clock, our body machines were designed to be the perfect astronomical clock. But we have forgotten to listen to it. If we want to, we can simplify in numbers, colors and waves. We can ride on the speed of sound. We can embrace the images of the star lights, projecting invisible trajectories, webs through which we connect with our milking mother breast. The stars are the grandparents and the galaxies are the relatives. The Milky Way is only one vein, one capillary, one cell of the rest. And the rest is in it. Does this knowledge help us? Yes. It makes us feel small. It makes us feel at the same time living a significant moment of life, which is in the spam of cycles a hair drop in the ocean. And yet, with our vibration we effect the movement. We might be grain of stardust sand, but we are part of the bigger “we” and together “we” form dunes of life.

    Jim Morrison did not believe in Astrology. He was himself embodying the Godly Pan figure, riding the snake, being the demon, the lover, the everything which the shaman can transform into. His immaculate star, inspiring ancient visions in his fan dreams, is forever living through his music. Jim maybe was not original after all, he was just a passing comet, who appreciated art, love and booze. He had speed, he had charm and cinical glory. He definetly lifted curtains, opened the doors to the mysterium cabaret, exploring the dark tunnels of human psyche. Those who still breath fully from this star dust, inhaling the music of the Gods, will always be reading and studying. They know that the story flowers between archetypes and madness and never forget to stop gazing at the blooming processes. The flower itself, is small galaxy to be discovered.

    Incredible book work by Malena Valcárcel

  • Setting my program on “not famous and still alive”

    My tribe recently lost young female in ayahuasca ceremony. The Peruvian shaman must have been fake… I tried to explain to her family over the phone, what dmt is and that not all shamans are careless dopers…. but it was too late.

    Education, experience, sometimes not enough to understand… well not all people are ready to open their eyes for the world… everything goes fast. What do we even know about medicin and shamans? Or yoga? Listen to your inner voice… my dear friend said.

    We just want that it works and hope it does less damage. Once we see “the other side”, we think we got powers, and yet we stuck in the same reality mud. “No one can get out of here alive…”. At the same time the society we are living in likes those who are fake and praises the death on opiates, but even when it seems to be tribal, or family oriented, it is more of a gazliting kind of a tribe, rather than serving from the source of truth. Perhaps by praising the ones dramatically death, we ignite long lost connection with the spirit… which tells us, how far we exist from the center of our true self. Perhaps the beauty is in the vulnerable act of letting life happen to you, rather than push it and be strong and alone somewhere plugin your motor in service of solitude. Hard mix.

    Our current issues are devaluation of the health and simple care of the whole of our humanity. As long as we separate body from mind, family from the whole, we will not be able to combine our resources and treat this disease of dissecting the human as we should. All matters of why we ended being at this situation are intertwined. It is time to discuss all this matters and not pretend how cool is to post about dead famous people, without digging into the misery they most likely felt while dying. There is no glamour in being famous and dead… The irony here has repeated since the times of Van Gogh, his sliced ear creates the classical image of suffering genius, whose souls was locked in mental box and yet expressed by the most tender of colors. We can observe the fresh tree blooms, translucent light impregnating sound of innocence he painted, and yet we cannot heal the artist from the isolation. This the juxtaposition of suffering child sight, through which the nature innocence was eternally preserved from decay.

    Did he had to suffer in order to be great artist? In a way yes and no. Unfortunately the common death in your vomit was almost a symbolism of the most cherished “Club 27” rock-stars. Rock-star hitting the rock bottom kinda goes hand in hand for the symbolism of some true rock’n’roll. This of course changed with the way music sold its soul not for the devil, but to the dollar bill. And this is socially excepted. Artists can flourish and be famous bling-bling instagarmmers, with or without musical talent. Nowadays, we count what is seen to be the truth of the stardom. In reality, what we don’t see, is much more and highly valued. Because as we know, what we first with the eyes, but we eventually we have to see with the heart. The front is like art deco front yard on Miami beach 1999. All pink, peach and white. While behind the scenes, rats are walking over breaking bad leg. We are alone while we type here on the face of the book and slurp on the medicine to feel better. Facebook is the cocktail enterprise that masturbates us entertainment to sleep. Its goo to be back umph. I want o rejoice before vomit.

    How do we loose ourselves and how to reconnect and find our way back home… to our “sleeping tiger”. To awake our breathing dragon we first need to recognize the trauma, which prevents us to be fully functioning being. Every each of us was born with one or more trauma. Over life time we are suppose to adapt and grow out of this trauma. Trauma is a base of all this negligence of ourselves, addictions, loneliness and isolation. The western capitalistic way of existence deepen this traumas, or if I may call them cracks. If one is able to regenerate and fill up the disconnection-crack with meaning, faith… then we have gold in the crack as the Japanese Kintsugi pottery makers did. Unfortunately most of us, don’t have the time for self discovery or have too much time on their hands, to play victim, to play with medication, alcohol and desperate slow suicide games. Most of us have been trapped years in emotional turmoils, which prevent the spirit to run free in joy. We are bond to material or other desires, from which we slurp happy teas, but if someone removes our joys, our fancy homes, cars or toys, we will be naked children crying out loud.

    There is Chiron child inside all of us, which has been reborn in the sign of Aries, where he currently transits. Chiron is changing signs in different periods of time. All this periods are not systematic in a way, which means that Chiron reside in some signs longer than in others passes through rather fast. The Aries lamb is ready to burst new life from all this old sorrows. Reborn from the internal piscean ocean, now each of us has to incorporate the meaning of self service in the name of our own true believe. No more social, family, racial or other external believes will be valued. Rich, poor, female, male, we all have to develop and stand for the believe we have with a strong sword. It is not sword to kill. It is sword of honor. Our own spine cord to hold. The emotional Pisces dream is now transforming us as individuals. Can we create from a place of vulnerable open wound, while spreading tender emotion, without burning all behind. Can we be emotional, sensual human beings, who help and care one another, without enslaving our own believes, without corrupting our reality with someone else projections? It seems that we are awaking from this dream collectively and girls can get angry and be loved and boy can cry and be loved too.

    Can we also stop being liking and start being real. We cannot like and love all, we cannot be all the time just having pleasure and escape all the pain. Pain makes the colors of the paint, which glow in the dark. If we could channel the pain and channel it creatively, this is what makes our world better place. That is why art is so important and saves lives. Not the career of the artist, not the success an artist achieves. Why? Because we all know how tragically the king of Rock-Elvis and the King of Pop Michel their life met the end. Because they needed that validation from the outside, or they lost connection with themselves, or they were consumed by the system… It is a sad story to pressure artist for an outcome. To stop creating from the heart and to start producing, trying to fulfill someones outside needs. But the things you don’t see on social media, the ritual of artist’s work, the feelings he has… while creating… the emotions and dreams he aspire before an idea arises. This are the moments we have to understand are invisible and shy from the other eyes. We should not control this moments, instead let the creativity brewing through the inner wounds, where magic happens. Magic happens before this point of expression. And no one should see this magic, otherwise he interfere with the quantum physic motion of the atom.

    And that is why psychotropic plants work, because even if we have expectations, even if we try to control, after we consume them, we do not know what will happen. They inspire the unknown, they pull parts within us which were hidden. They heal us. If someone sells bad medicine, if someone pretends to be a healer and kills out of negligence… he will have to pay heavy payment. But let us not prevent the possibility for medical plants to become popularized way of healing addictions and trauma. They have serve the human race since ancient days. We have lost touch with the plant kingdom. We have to reconnect. There are no bad trips, there are people and their conditions. There are true shamans and healers and there are charlatans. I do believe the psychotropic plants are the fastest way to reconnect with our truth. But I don’t want to advertise them. On the contrary, I believe that humble work, discipline, sharing, loving, meditating, nature and care and faith, are the best way to heal an open wounded heart.
