RESOURCING YOURSELF
With so many planets retrograde in a narrow section of the zodiac, how is your personal focus, re-evaluation, reckoning and self-auditing going?
This week, as Mercury turns forward in Virgo and Pluto squares Ceres, ask yourself:
in what and whom am I currently investing my skills, money, possessions, time and love?
Is all this effort congruent with my values and priorities?
do I need a rethink about how I use my precious resources?
Change is written all over September 14th’s New Moon at 22° Virgo. It forms a Kite pattern with Pluto, Neptune and Uranus while Mercury - ruler of Virgo - is stationing ready to turn direct on September 15th.
All New Moons are an opportunity for a new beginning, but this New Moon in Virgo is an especially helpful time to start new habits or to stop harmful ones.
The New Moon’s trine to Uranus in fellow Earth sign Taurus means becoming even more flexible, responsive and innovative in the face of unexpected change. The Sky God operates by delivering unpredictable shocks, reversals or insights that electrify you out of your comfort zone, teaching you to collaborate with the inevitable.
It's also a time to become much more innovative in your work, your craft, your service and your routines, experimenting with new methods and modalities that take you out of your comfort zone.
This will mean shedding and moving on from outdated New Age modalities and techniques that attempt to change others from the outside in - so many of the old ways of working, processes and procedures that you have relied on, which always got results in the past, are no longer working….

SPIRITUAL TRAPS
Question: What are the biggest traps in spirituality?
Answer: Relatively speaking, there are several major traps in spirituality. By far the biggest one and the first and foremost because if you fall into this trap all else follows:
Is taking the illusion to be real.
Believing this is real.
Once you fall for that trap
The second trap follows:
And that is, working and trying to make yourself into a better mirage,
more embodied
purified
more connected
more integrated into your life
transforming bad into good
trying to have a permanent state
changing vices into virtues
in order to enhance the experience of
"You" In THIS WORLD

Meditation, singing, music-making.
"Love is the most healing force in the world, nothing goes deeper than love. It heals not only the body, not only the mind, but also the soul. If one can love then all one's wounds disappear. Then one becomes whole -- and to be whole is to be holy."
This is from an ePub book I opened at random just now.
It doesn't really matter who wrote it because, in my own experience, it is an eternal verity.
Over breakfast, I explained the idea of #value4value and #defi to my wife who is *highly* sceptical.
When I'd finished, she simply said, "Yep, sounds like a great idea".
Some reasonable points, but IMHO the "rehab list" is a bit *too* Zen (no nuances). Life just isn't that binary.
My son is Gen Z, and he, his mates, and their girlfrends are nothing like you describe.
My #1 son is a barber, so I get my haircuts for free - but he doesn't need a website. Told him about Nostr though - and he's interested. :)
No, daddy-o.
I actually was a student of Dr. John Diamond for 2 years. Hawkins went to one of Diamond's workshops and claimed he (Hawkins) "got it".
The testing is *fraught* with difficulties - the least of which is having a high enough calibration to use it (that's a myth, BTW).
It takes a lot of practice and skill to test and it's *very* easy to influence the outcome.
I only use the testing occasionally - but for *local* things only (a supplement, remedy, or food for example.)
Good morning. ☕
Although not much of a TV viewer, a friend recommended "Russian Doll" on Netflix.
I'm enjoying both the concept and the acting.
In other news, narrating stories that are written in antiquated English for #librivox is fun, but hard on the tongue.
I'm currently narrating a #SciFi story from the Victorian era. A lot of the speech is quite stilted.
Lots of editing required. 😀
Overall though, my main focus is living life from my Centre.
I hope you have a day with as little conflict as possible. 🎶
Note to self: Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Happy Monday.
Don't for forget - Projection makes Perception.
I used to practice rebirthing (conscious connected breathing) back in the day. Yes, what a trip. :)
