Wake Up!

This sequence started with an exchange between me and a publisher who wears a second hat as a major RFK Jr. supporter:

ME: How are you?

TL: Great. You?

ME: Greatly heartened to know you are well!

As for me. Long story short, it’s said God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle. But sometimes wish he didn’t trust me so much.

Bottom line. On the same day RFK Jr took the oath of office, I swore a parallel oath to God to honor/fulfill the responsibility I’ve been given to support his mission. Will survive to do so.

As for TQS [The Quantum Solution], it’s still writing itself. Have very strong feeling an event’s coming down the pike which will influence content/approach. Waiting for its arrival.

And within a day, the event arrived.

It wasn’t at all what expected. Nothing related to world events — neither politics, wars, nor natural disasters.

It was personal.

I took a fall which triggered an avalanche of Aha moments.

Over night, half asleep, I reached for a door frame to support my weight, but misjudged its distance. Leaning forward, I missed it. And went down.

Crash! Shock!!

No injuries, thank God. But seriously shaken.

As is my way, after settling down, I queried the I Ching, my go-to mentor, seeking to understand the implications of the fall. What message was to be taken from that surprise? What adjustment called for?

The answer came back, unequivocal. No changing lines. Hexagram 21, BREAKTHROUGH. It looks like this:

When I searched my conscience, what surfaced was a paralyzing tension in my attitude towards publishing. That’s what I’m being advised to correct.

Yuppers. In the past, my now deceased teacher took a dim view of my writing, citing the biblical warning against casting pearls before swine.

But in my musings now, when I returned to the classic tale of humans turned to swine, it reminded me that, at least in this case, they were eventually changed back again. This has relevance to my reservations, as well as potential solutions.

In Homer’s Odyssey (a classic story of the archetypal hero’s journey), Hermes, the healing god, supplies the medicinal remedy that returns the ship’s crew back from spell-bound pigs to their original, true selves. He also, by the way, forewarns our hero of the sorceress Circe’s dangers, giving him an herb that makes him immune to her dark spells. (To the best of my knowledge, what that herb might be isn’t named. That would be an interesting rabbit hole for someone to explore, don’t you think?)

Remember Hermes? He’s the winged messenger (Mercury) who carries the caduceus, familiar symbol of the current medical profession, which (sadly) has forgotten its origins and is long overdue to remember, restore and perhaps upgrade itself! (But that’s a subject for a different, lengthy discourse.)

When I search my soul, the nagging, pessimistic part of my psyche feels that life’s too painful. Wants only to withdraw. Have nothing to do with the majority of barbaric humans driven by appetites, all too easily seduced by black-magic temptations of the dark side.

What I recognize is that my BREAKTHROUGH must be to replace remnants of pessimism and self-doubt with this awareness: IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.

It is ignorance instilled and enforced by dark-side slave-masters that drives bestiality, cruelty and viciousness. Education driven by a positive paradigm shift has the potential to change that!

And that’s exactly my job. From now on, I’ll focus on this KEY. According to the Quantum Paradigm, we are each made in the image of God. Inherently, at our core, each and every one of us — even savage murderers, thieves and exploiters of every stripe — remains in deepest essence divine. We each carry the magical seed potential (albeit latent and forgotten) — to transcend illusory limitations. Therein lies certain hope of a better future.

Like Lambert, the sheepish lion, we each have the potential to WAKE UP! To remember who we truly are.

As of now, however, the vast majority of humanity remains, as I was, half asleep. Staggering, they reach for support, but miss the mark and fall.

And it’s my given job is to serve as an awakener. A messenger. A reminder that according to the complete and correct Quantum Paradigm (towards which humanity now has the opportunity to shift), divinity rests at the eternal core of who we’re born to be.

More than once, it has occurred to me that in a generation’s time, these changes will be accomplished, whether or not I publish. They’ll inevitably come to pass, simply because astrologically, all the attitude-shaping outer planets will have changed sign.

Pluto, the powerful planet of transformative personal and political change, recently shifted from earth-based Capricorn into air-ruled Aquarius. The day after the March 29th radical New Moon eclipse in Aires, Neptune, the creative planet of inspiration, intuition and devotion follows suit, moving from water-based Pisces for a 14-year transit through fire-ruled Aires.

After that, over the next two years, stern, conformist Saturn, the planet of rules, structure and institutional authority, will leave the water sign of Pisces to enter fire-ruled Aires. Eccentric Uranus, the planet of invention, foresight and genius, will exit the location where it’s been stuck in earth-bound Taurus to reside in more compatible, air-ruled Gemini.

So, in the future, no matter where in the world a child is born, into whatever cultural milieu, its astrological markings will be radically different from those of its grandparents and even parents. Without anyone having to do anything to bring about this change, one-hundred years from now, no one left will be of the current imperial, conquest, control and dominance mindset.

But that too-easy cop-out doesn’t let me off the hook. That’s then. This is now. Humanity still needs to make the (sometimes messy and painful) transition from here to there. And replacing the current empirical science model, mainstreaming the Quantum Paradigm, is a necessary part of the process that will lead humanity into its long-foreseen better future.

In The Leviathan, first published in 1651, English philosopher Thomas Hobbes posited that in its natural state, human life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.” On this assumption, he rationalized the necessary existence of absolute governmental power.

This serves as an example of the dynamic that the beliefs people hold have very real consequences. “Thinking makes it so.” Believing humans are bestial not only gives them license to act that way, but also to treat them as such.

Fortunately, beliefs remain a matter of personal choice.

In this light, the Make America Healthy Again movement now afoot in the U.S. has great potential to shift widespread beliefs and therefore results. It’s no accident that RFK Jr. openly says “spirituality” is a necessary component of a nation’s health.

Better, more awakened beliefs emerging now will lead to better results in the future. This is the hopeful premise of The Quantum Solution.

The Path of Love – 012721

Overriding Love of Life as well as the lesser loves of liberty, family and country are values shared in common across the board. They’re not exclusive to any time, place or people. While focus on lesser loves changes, fundamental Love of Life supports them all.

On January 28th of 2021 we have a full moon in Leo, seat of heart energy, sign of leadership, courage and creativity. It sets the tone for year. Astrologers agree that we’re being given the choice (and responsibility) to focus on the heart as we continue to swim through oceans of conflict creating profound changes on every level — personal, social and economic.

Today, I’m focusing on Pam Gregory’s powerful message. While the technical analysis is complicated, her conclusions are easy to understand. I can’t put them any better, so I’m offering the highlights here with all credit to her.

In sum, the influence of full moons affect us a few days prior and post. They serve to shine a light on what we haven’t known before, bringing emotions to a head, along with feelings of culmination or closure.

The broadest pattern continuing through 2024 is the deconstruction of old systems. There will “breakdowns in order to breakthrough” in government as well as the professions of law, healthcare and education.

In 2021, we can expect to experience layered realities with two broad choices (she calls them “trajectories” or “timelines”). In the lower octave, there will be chaos: drama, polarity and negativity, shocks, high speed twists and turns of events, including social unrest. In the higher octave, there’s an extraordinary opportunity to upgrade consciousness.

At the 3D level, it’s going to get very confusing. We will wonder, “What true? What’s not? What can we trust, what not?” For this reason, its more important than ever to cultivate mental clarity balanced by kindness. If you get a challenge, take a step back. Ask, “What would LOVE do?” Let that be your mantra. “What would LOVE do?”

My own conclusion is that nations across the board have become separated both from their own cultural roots and from a fundamental awareness of humanity’s common ORIGIN, where all meet at the center on the higher road, the path of unity which Pam recommends.

For today’s reading, I asked about the I Ching’s view on choosing the higher path, returning to the path of love. I also asked about the consequences of failing to choose this path. See the following post for the answer to that second question.

PERMANENCE is the original, dynamic answer to the question, “What is the consequence of choosing the higher path?” It reads:

Search for PERMANENCE in the timeless wisdom of all ages. Human events repeat themselves in well-ordered patterns over many generations. Although the actors change, the values they pass on through their examples endure. Nothing of permanent value is ever lost. Live worthy of your heritage. Avoid disrespect for traditions.

Love as a timeless value is the starting point of this dynamic reading. For example, Patrick Byrne senses and returns the enduring love of life which pervades the philosophy of the Tao and its underlying I Ching wisdom. It’s written (despite a relatively recent communist overlay) into the very DNA of China’s people. Despite a similar communist overlay, that same love, though with a shift of focus towards liberty, is inherent in America’s genes.

Alternating lines in the first, third and fifth places all change. Advice of the bottom, first line reads “Great works require long growing time. Patience is worth it.” I’m understanding that both China and the U.S. are works in progress. The jury isn’t out on the fate of either country. However bleak the immediate present, hope remains that love of life will prevail in the long run.

When the advice is heeded and patience preserved, it changes to Responsibility, which reads:

The RESPONSIBILITY which comes with holding a powerful position is an important test. You can use authority over others to benefit them or to feed selfish pride. In either case, you will experience the results of your actions later on. Exercise responsibility with thoughtful correctness and restraint. Avoid inconsiderate behavior.

Impending consequences of selfishly abusing political power are fearful to behold and close at hand, a lesson to future generations.

* * *

Advice of the third line reads “Indecision and lack of consistency will ruin whatever you attempt.” This is not a time for sitting on the fence. When this warning is heeded by cultivating decisiveness and consistency, it changes to Forgiveness, which reads:

Through FORGIVENESS, old debts are canceled and harmony is restored. Free yourself from outgrown habits. Don’t be afraid to let go of the past. Releasing tensions will produce health. Mental blocks will be resolved. New clarity of vision will lead to important decisions. Peace of mind will follow. Avoid anxiousness.

This is the potential reward of choosing to return to the path of love and unity.

* * *

Advice of the fifth line reads, “Choose methods by purpose. Visionary projects require creativity and courage.” Breakthroughs throughout the service professions call for a small army of innovators to come forward. When the advice is heeded it changes to Inner Strength, which reads:

When difficult situations come to a head, rely on INNER STRENGTH to endure. If it becomes necessary to retreat, do so with courage and self-confidence. Make sure your inner and outer resources are secure. If you must begin a new life, you will have to depend on them. Avoid helplessness.

Inner and outer resources include practical skills and life lessons learned as well as the wisdom traditions internalized through consistent practice.

* * *

When advice of the three changing lines is heeded, the combined final result is Inspiration, which reads:

When minds are moved by INSPIRATION, nothing is impossible. Misunderstandings can be cleared up, problems solved and hardships overcome. Inspired speakers can move others to acts of heroism by well-chosen words. Reminding people of their common goals and deepest desires gives them the courage to continue. Avoid unkindness.

In the immediate context, the courage and creativity of heart-centered love is the source of inspiration that will see us through immediate hardships. It has been said that “Love heals all.” We’ve also been taught that “With God, all things are possible.”
