What is Beautiful and Vital?
This weekends powerful full Moon continues to highlight our relationship with transpersonal planets Uranus and Pisces. Whether it’s a news story or your everyday encounters we are reminded we are not alone.
Unfortunately or fortunately Uranus is in Aries the sign of individuality. For some that means opportunities for creative expression and revolutionary spirit. There lies the archetype of the Cowboy, the knight, or the Lone Gun man in As you can imagine some become isolated and desperate thinking no one is there for them and lash out. I am thinking of the isolated and picked on man who killed 7 people in Oakland last week is an example.
The cry We Are Who We Are Waiting For rings so true right now. But I say What you came here to do is not always what you think it is. The Neptunium mystery is, that we don’t know what it is that we do that may save the world.
A kind word, a smile, a gentle firm boundary set at the right time may may change the trajectory of an unthinkable act. The act of asking for help also can give a needy being confidence that they are of use. You never know and that is what I believe faith is all about. Keep living a kind and gentle life in the face of adversity.
Aries likes action which suggests we need to exercising our spiritual muscles:
“Whether you find the sacred in a sense of something transcendental, even divine, or in nature, a child’s vulnerability, the sheer inexplicable extraordinary existence of the universe itself, or in anything else that you cherish, I believe that a feeling for the sacred and a heartfelt willingness to make room for it in one’s life is at the center of what is beautiful and vital in being human.”Rick Hanson author of Buddha’s Brain
a lot of shaking up seems to be going on lately. People are not sleeping everywhere I look. It’s a great time to be here.
This feels very accurate.
