Be the Death of Me

Day of 6 White Rhythmic Mirror

Tone 6 (Rhythmic): creative power to Organize Equality, action of Balance

White Mirror (ETZNAB): Reflects and emphasizes Endlessness

I read astrological forecasts. (Probably not a big surprise if you've poked around this blog at all). I also read the news. I discriminate against both accordingly and on a case-by-case basis. Some news reporting is garbage, as are some forecasts. And then there are those that ring true.  

I've spoken to different people with varying beliefs on both subjects. And what I have said more or less consistently to everyone is, "I don't discriminate against the truth." Now, obviously I'm not perfect so this a generalized hope rather than an actual summation of my lifestyle. That being said, I have no problem with gathering knowledge, wisdom or truths from science, mysticism, elements, people, or evils. All these things can be teachers and, if experienced or encountered, will have influence of some kind. Even if that influence is apathy, disregard or dislike. 

So, long story short of the why: I wouldn't exist if the planets in our lovely little solar system had not aligned up exactly as they did, in that order, until "they were all" satisfied and became the round about motions we exist within today. If I only exist because the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Mercury and the other planets formed just in the way they did, then I don't see why such planetary bodies would not have occasional influence over my state of mind. I breathe but for the planets, why should my moods not also be affected by them, who made me possible? (They don't spin because we tell them to). 

I rule nothing out if it makes sense. I also try and live my life with integrity, intention, transparency and communication. 

So, when I read PowerPath's new monthly astrological forecast for November--which has the theme "forgiveness"--I had a "Stop Moment" ("come to Jesus") with myself.   

I am a 29-year-old person, who--for most of my life--has been "healthy." I have not been to the hospital often, nor for anything severe, and I have eaten most whatever I wanted for the entirety of my existence. This is due to my good fortune more so than it has ever been because of my intentions. I have done physical activities in the past and I have limited sugars, but for many years I have eaten foods (and drank drinks) I have allergies to and I have eaten with no thought to true nutrition or actual dietary consistency for my body. After 29 years, that self-indulgence has taken its toll on my fortitude.  

Now, I'm not sure exactly why reading an astrological forecast with the theme of "forgiveness" made me have a Stop Moment and think about my diet and the way I have been and known myself for the past 29-years; but I do know that is what I needed to reflect on. 

Let me be clear: I'm not changing my diet on moral grounds and, for as long as I can remember, my modus operandi has largely been to ignore prolonged bodily discomfort for temporary edible pleasures. But today I spoke with a 5th generation Shaolin Monk and read this particular astrological forecast and it just clicked in my head that, by gawd fuck it, some shit has to change. And that shit is my own behavior against myself! That little shit is ME! Thus, whether or not the astrological reading is "true," it has proven useful and it is because of reading the forecast that I can even admit the following. 

In a Purposeful Omniverse

Day of 4 Red Self-Existing Skywalker

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

Red Skywalker Seal (BEN): Explores and emphasizes Space

There are many theories on this planet as to how the Earth and the Omniverse came about. Naturally, there are also theories about why this all came about. I'm not here to converse about which of the infinite theories is "right;" I am here to make an observation of how one theory is impossible.

It is not conceivable, by any standard of genuine observation, that an Omniverse like the one we are in came from "nothing" or means "nothing." It is a conclusion formed from very little observation or from very little opportunity (and opportunity is relative). Whether Existence itself is a tangible creation and a conscious one, or just a conscious one - it is still meaningful. Existence is meaning full. Full of meaning. Meaning as a synonym for purpose. The very fact that we, as sentient beings, consider ourselves CONSCIOUS speaks to the necessity of a Conscious Creator. A Creator greater than any species we know or any living thing, because it has essentially led to the creation of ALL LIVING THINGS (this requires a root understanding)!

Even if all of Existence was "an accident," it was caused by a pretty fucking INCREDIBLE accident maker. An INCREDIBLY BIG accident maker.

This planet is AMAZING! I mean, really and truly if you just take a moment to look at it as a whole, as EVERYTHING on it and OF it. How can you deny that Planet Earth is SUPERB? There is not one thing our species makes use of on this Earth (aside from consciousness itself, which always has first dibs) that did not come from this Earth or adapt to this Earth. 

That pretty much makes Earth the
oldest authority we have on most things "us."

An Elder, in my knowing, is an older being with wisdom that you both respect and may seek out for understanding (and who learns to impart wisdom by the actions of their very existence). Planet Earth is our Elder. The Sun and several of the other planets are Earth's Elders. The Galaxy is our Solar System's Elder. And the Infinite Omniverse is EVERYTHING's Elder.

Collectively the Infinite Omniverse makes up Existence. Existence is to be respected and sought out for understanding. 

What I understand from observing this Infinite Omniverse is that everything has its place and its purpose. It doesn't matter how small it is (atoms, love) or how different it is or how you perceive it. It's doing something here and it's here to do something. Nothing can go to waste in an Infinite Existence because everything is needed within Infinity. Infinity negates nothing. It even includes 0. Infinity is "IT," it is the IT factor and IT is 

ALL

Don't Panic, Death is Organic

Day of 11 White Spectral Mirror

Tone 11 (Spectral): Creative power to Dissolve Liberation, action of Release

White Mirror (ETZNAB): Reflects and emphasizes Endlessness

Sometimes I sit around and think of what I might be doing, for my happiness and for the world, in the next 10 years. I consider making a 5-year-plan or a 10-year-plan. Then I turn on the News (from any area of the world) and I think to myself, "10 more decent years and I'll call us all lucky."

But seriously though, the Earth is not looking good right now. And I'll start this open thought process by clarifying that of course there are plenty of good things going on in both hemispheres; that being acknowledged, the majority of the things that are going on that are "powerful" enough to have immediate effects on the majority of peoples are not in that category.

It's making more sense to me now too, the reason that craziness takes hold of individuals so strongly and then spreads like wildfire among those not strong enough in their own knowing to resist the tide. And I'm realizing a lot of this bullshit going on around and on this planet has to do with PEOPLES OBSESSION/FEAR WITH DEATH!

I'm here to tell you with all the assurance that I have in me (which is quite a bit really):

DON'T PANIC! DEATH IS ORGANIC :o)

A wise author once wrote that putting the words "Don't Panic" next to or onto anything that is ultimately infinite and complicated helps to alleviate the worst of the initial reactions of basic instinct. You know, "Run!" "Kill!" "Hide!" "Die!" and so on and so forth. So I'm going with that policy.

I won't beat around the bush here. I'm going to lay out for you, bluntly, exactly why you needn't fear death in ANY capacity (though you should fear killing, it's icky and unnecessary and really who wants the extra karma that comes along with it?).
