Winter Solstice "2016"

Day of 4 Yellow Self-Existing Star

Tone 4 (Self-Existing): creative power to Define Form, action of Measuring

Yellow Star (LAMAT): Beautifies and emphasizes Elegance

I curated and penned my first write-up concerning an "astrological day" (such as Solstice, New Moon, Full Moon, etc.). You can find that writing below!

*Sources will be below this write-up in case you wanna do further reading.

This is a write-up for the entire Winter (Solstice); 

Feel free to take your time reading it!*

0. The first thing that occurred to me was the number 4. 4th Season of the year, 4th dimensional Earth and 4 corners to the boxes we place ourselves in when actually we live in concentric circles. No surprise, then, that when I pulled each of the 3 cards I will be presenting below, the first card I pulled was #13, so 4. 

~~~

1. From the Gaia Matrix Oracle we gain the wisdom of Card 13: Judge/Oracle 

We run through 4 stages in the learning process of this card...

a) Cosmic Law: The inevitable. The future of your actions. The response to your call or action, no matter how many years out. The last ripple. The entirety of creation coming together to meet you from moment to moment. The things you cannot make up yourself. The things you created but in their own rite. The things you've done when they're carrying on by themselves. 

b) Self-Conflict: The final battle of recognition. The process of taking bitter medicine. The looking in the mirror when you'd rather just run and yell. The incoherence of your circumstances in those moments when you cannot deal. The world rushing up to meet you when you are convinced you are all by yourself. Dealing with your self. Tending to your own problems. Knowing you need help. 

c) Trials: The tests life presents you with so you can prove to yourself and existence whether you've actually learned something you claim to have gone through already, know already and gotten over. The things that fall apart regardless of how many times you've convinced yourself that you did the thing that needed doing to fix them. The going through hell. The knowing what you've made of yourself and, thus, of what you are actually capable. The making of your current self. 

d) Conscience: The acceptance of your trials. The quiet moments of self reflection that you don't battle. The wondering what else you didn't know about yourself and being willing to find out. The hearing other things than the voice you've always known to be "yourself." The wondering without knowing or needing the answer. The thing that shows up all by itself without your constant "tending" and forced "help." The letting; letting happen, letting go, letting something else. The reward for doing battle against what you've known to be your self. 

Some good quotes from the write-up on this card that may prove useful to you...

"The JUDGE/ORACLE archetype is that power of awareness and justice within you that enables the finest tuning to your own karma, or accumulation of past thoughts, feelings and actions. Some thoughts and deeds may be positive and others negative."

"Now is a time when you can see exactly the source of error in yourself, and by this precise insight, any blind spots will be revealed and will vanish through your confrontation of them."

"There are seven minds in the heart and seven hearts in the mind." (How many do you allow yourself to go through before making a decision you consider important? How many reflections do you allow yourself before you decide?)

"Examine your life, asking always, 'What is at the source of why I thought or did that?' Ask deeply of all the things you have hidden and don't want to see."

If You Can Read This, The Choice Has Been Made

Day of 12 Red Crystal Earth

Tone 12 (Crystal): Creative power to Dedicate Cooperation, action of Universalizing
Red Earth Seal (CABAN): Evolves and emphasizes Navigation

If you are a member of the dominant species on the planet Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy, then it is important to acknowledge that as far as Consciousness is concerned, you've already made your choice. 

All this talk of Darwin, Capitalism, "Survival of the Fittest," being animals, etc. IS ACTUALLY NO LONGER RELEVANT. As conscious beings, living out an existence where our Consciousness has become an understanding and a choice of expansion or stagnation, it makes no logical sense to live our lives out like animals. Animals are animals because they haven't yet made the choice to expand their consciousness. They have not yet acquired the knowledge to shed off their animal skins and progress into a higher dimensional existence (2D to 3D). This is a reflection of their progress. It is what it is and it's not for our species to judge. Animals live by the rules of survival of the fittest because that is the way available to animals in order for them to exist and progress. It's rough, but it is a dimensional stage in the constant expansion of infinite consciousness. And even in their animal forms they are teachers to all that are willing to recognize their power and place in this great Omniverse. Further, some animals have removed themselves from the survival of the fittest framework (some have also been moved unwillingly). The ones that have likely made a conscious choice to progress are the very animals we love to have in our homes and nurture and feed.

Animal consciousness being acknowledged, there is also hominid consciousness; and that consciousness is ours. We too, as homo sapiens sapiens, have a way available to us that allows us to exist and progress. That way is not the survival of the fittest framework. It is a different way and, largely, it is a way we have done very little to know in the way of exploration. Historically, our ignorance has largely been informed by this ridiculous idea that homo sapiens sapiens are the apex of Omniversal Creation. This perpetuated ignorance has led to arrogance that has given our species the impression that, "this is it!" And that all that we do as a species is the very best existence has to offer. Such a notion is ludicrous.

If it were true, that what we have created here on the planet Earth as a species is the very best that Omniversal Creation has to offer...I would be...DEPRESSED. Fortunately, I know better! And what I know, without a doubt really (and I'm not saying that casually as if it's easy to arrive at this understanding), is that arriving within 3D existence is the advent of choosing your understanding of Consciousness. Even that I must say with some disclaimer; because if you can read this, the choice has already begun being made. Whatever you may hold to have come before your birth from your mother, arriving into your consciousness as a hominid was an act that you made in order to further progress through Conscious Infinity. So to reject the expansion of Consciousness available to us in hominid form, particularly at this stage when we are ALREADY HOMINIDS, is illogical.

In an infinite Omniverse, THE ONLY WAY BACK IS FORWARD. That's why the shape is cyclical. Maybe there are some Omniverse's that work backwards, but...not this one. Sorry. You're here, DEAL WITH IT.

The Omniversal Picture

Day of 8 White Galactic Wizard

Tone 8 (Galactic): Creative power to Harmonize Integrity, action of Modeling

White Wizard Seal (IX): Enchants and emphasizes Timelessness

When one is encouraged to look at the "bigger picture," it often depends on where there head is at to determine how big that picture actually is.

But I wonder, how often are people asked to look at The Biggest Picture? And even if they were, is it possible to agree on what the "biggest picture" actually is?

The Omniversal Picture is pretty big - even if you believe in multiple Omniverse's.

Because the Omniversal Picture is a VERY BIG picture, it encompasses a lot.

There is the history of planets in it, the history of those planet's evolutionary species, the history of those planet's species' sciences and cultural developments, the history of that planet's Solar System's development, the history of that Solar System's Galaxy, the histories of the galaxies that came before that Solar System's Galaxy. And all these infinite creations are steadily, but consistently, leading you back and back, further into the Omniversal Picture. All the way back to the big question that inspired the big picture.

Naturally, it's a manifold big question.

The Big Manifold Question

1. Where Am I?

2. What Am I Doing Here?/How Did I Get Here?

3. What Am...I? (Often confused with "Who Am I?")

4. What's My Purpose AKA Why Am I Here?

5. What's This All About?

Research, Stew/Marinate, Apply, Observe

Day of 5 White Overtone Mirror

Tone 5 (Overtone): Creative power to Empower Radiance, action of Command

White Mirror Seal (ETZNAB): Reflects and emphasizes Endlessness

When it comes to pursuing the conscious manifestation of our intent, there is no designated rulebook. The conscious manifestation of your intent is bound to be very personal and ultimately as unique as your own conscious energy. That being acknowledged, it may assist individuals to have a very loose rubric (defined as a statement of purpose or function). Toward that purpose or function, I offer mine.

In the act of watching myself, which I do constantly and - nowadays - almost unconsciously in normal circumstances; I have picked up on a pattern that works for me. "Works for me" means that when I apply this pattern, things generally go as I wanted them to (if not as I planned). In fact, I find it's better not to "plan" the way I want things to go. Rather, I've found it more effective to focus on the outcome I desire rather than what it will "look like." For example, if I'm in a confrontation with someone I set my intent that we resolve the conflict with a greater understanding between us and as unique entities. I do not try and design what that understanding will be, because if I did that I would ultimately suffocate the plethora of outcomes that might transpire (many of which are likely to be greater than what I can even imagine).

The pattern that I've observed that I use effectively is as follows:

1. I research what I'm seeking to understand
2. Depending on how much of my energy and focus is required for my research, I either stew on the research I have acquired; Or, for the longer term concepts I'm trying to grasp, I marinate on the research I have acquired. (When in doubt, marinate).
3. After what seems to me to be an appropriate "stew" or "marination" period, I apply what I've researched and stewed/marinated upon into my actual existence (this is a key feature of consciously manifesting your intent. That is, to act purposefully and with awareness).
4. This is probably the most difficult of my "4 step" process, as observation can be very subjective when it involves other people. That being said, after I apply my stewed or marinated upon research to my actual existence, I take time to observe the outcome to see if the concept I've researched and manifested into my life is actually conducive to my personal progress.

Clearly, the same processes do not (and cannot) work at the same level of effectiveness for everybody. Additionally, steps 3 & 4 are rapidly interchangeable. For example, in an argument/debate/confrontation with someone, you may apply your stewed upon research and immediately have to observe the outcome - interact again - and then continuously apply the research until you've observed that it is either a) effective for you, b) ineffective for you, or c) either but not properly researched (c is the feeling like you're banging your head against a wall in your attempt to communicate and be understood...but you don't know why).

Choice

Day of 9 Blue Solar Night

Tone 9 (Solar): Creative power to Pulse Intention, action of Realizing

Blue Night Seal (AKBAL): Dreams and emphasizes Abundance

There is this insidious quality of contemporary (and by contemporary I'm referring to, at least, the past 800 years) societies/World Society that effectually convinces many that choice is not a personal option. Instead, choice has been commandeered by institutional conceptions of "appropriate grouping."

Under this guise, choice is delineated first by Nation, then by Society, then by Community, then by Family, then by Educational Institution and eventually by Work Environment. At some point far at the end of these - at least in the USA - we also claim that individual choice is possible...when it comes to...shopping....and... buying things.

This is incredibly problematic for an array of reasons. I shall attempt to go through each "appropriate grouping" one at a time.

On Nations

It is very difficult for me to even translate the horror I feel about Nations into conceivable text. I am utterly disturbed by the flamboyant means by which our species decrees that other equal members of our species are not included in our conception of "humanity" and access to it.

Having been born on Earth as a member of the conceivably dominant species, it has always occurred to me that the Earth is my home. THE WHOLE OF IT. Undivided by trivialities like, "this side of the line is mine" and "do you have a book of arbitrary numbers and stamps that says you can be at this place on your own planet?"

This isn't even to speak of governments that compile endlessly self-indulgent and incessant divisions via paperwork that explain why Patch of Land A cannot conceivably trust, be open to, or employ individuals from Patch of Land B.

Nationalism is just Bureaucratic Fascism

Considering this, it is outrageous that government representatives tell you that you don't/can't know what's good for you when it comes to "National Security," when it is in fact "National Security" that effectually causes you to be unsafe.

If all "borders" on this planet were open for passage by anyone who desired to traverse them, why would anyone spend their time fuming over one area of the world and its culture when they could EASILY become a member or resident of said place WHENEVER they desired and effectually assist in redefining that areas culture????

If "Nations" didn't exist then individuals couldn't spend time attaching themselves to arbitrary social conditioning belonging to one province of the planet because all land would be a potential home to them and nobody would stop them from being and experiencing wherever they wanted to be and experience! They could just apply their nationalistic allegiance to THE PLANET.

Thought Pursuit "11.27.10"

 Day of 12 Red Crystal Skywalker

Tone 12 (Crystal): creative power to Dedicate Cooperation, action to Universalize

Red Skywalker Seal (BEN): Explores and emphasizes Space 

Thought Pursuit on the Conscious Manifestation of Intent...


The conscious manifestation of intent has a striking subtlety within our current illusion/illusions. It is completely natural and it is completely unique. To those that recognize it, it shows itself to be tangible and powerful. But it is not necessarily the easiest presence to perceive.


We're all very capable of manifesting. There are masterful manifestations and crude ones, even cruel ones; and often all those manifesters reside within each of us as individuals, as we reflect what we conceive possible back into the societies we create together.


It can be difficult to grasp our conscious manifestations of intents because the traces they leave behind are our constant acts and reactions. Our habits, our practices, our setbacks. Our triumphs too, but they are harder to remember because we are so present in the exultation of them that we only recall beaming light/love or love/light. Because of this, the paths we persist through on our way to our setbacks, habits, and triumphs are the roads most significant to our experience. When we begin to recognize those paths we choose to walk down (on the way to our setbacks, practices and triumphs), we begin to focus our intent(s).


Considering this, intent proves itself to be a primordial omniversal tool that is free to be used to your chosen degree of proficiency. I think of intent as the conscious investment of thought/action/energy in all energetic exchanges or interactions. Basically it is our sculpting(s) of our existences - uniquely and collectively.
