In the marriage of Heaven and Hell, Love is the key, as always

Kapow! Here's a gestalt that's been dawning in me lately. I hope I can convey it accurately. It's been coming together like a puzzle under its own gravity, yet it's incomplete, I know. Writing it out is difficult because it's made up of collections of fuzzy feelings, personal experiences, your voices, various facts I've collected, and abstract impressions over time, ones which do share a distinct resonance though. So writing in modern English is a translation at best. It's also spontaneous, and may require some iterative reconsideration. But having said all that...

The synchronicity of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill with Chiron's exact entry into Pisces on 4/20 hit core. The immortal healer with the immortal wound penetrates the depth of the collective unconscious and rends the innermost membrane that keeps raw toxic power from erupting uncontrollably through to the surface, threatening everything we know, unleashing all the demons and angels held at bay by Neptune. Everyone knows oil and water don't mix. So what does this mean?

"Fractal in time is called synchronicity." -FractalBob

I think we might all agree that the synchronicities are in crescendo lately, yet arching over all of them and seeping into our dreams is this thunderous wake up call. What I'm getting somehow, is that it's time to encounter the darkness and the shadow self of our collective being. This time, it will not be controlled, locked in the closet, or swept under the rug. Ignoring will make it much worse. We are now on the wondrous Wonka boat together. But how do we embrace our shadow?

Know thyself.

Our shadow aspect in the unconscious mind holds everything we say we're not. Our repressed weaknesses, instincts, and shortcomings. Greed, Envy, Guilt, Deceit, Denial, Expectations, and Assumptions, all fed by fear and neglect. Jung said, "the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."

To understand the shadow better, we can know I Am. All there is is I Am. Every experience in life is held together by a mysterious luminous thread of now. From our birth, through all shades of consciousness at all ages, in every possible circumstance, and even in unconsciousness, there is a coherence of infinite awareness which is I Am. The awareness is you, but it's not your idea of yourself. And it is all that is. Except that it's me too, along with almost seven billion complex human fractal cohorts and countless countless others, all looking back at you, and vice versa. This is where the mesh communication network idea starts to come in handy.

The dark side in modern western monoculture has been rather brutally repressed because many have been taught early that it is unruly and not nice. It's wrong and should be suppressed, destroyed, that it is evil, and dangerous. This side can indeed be like a wild and eternally youthful horse (or spirit animal, generally speaking) with flaring nostrils and power in its breath, possibly quite scary, possibly a dragon. Empathy, firmness, and loving patience, however, are a different way to establish the subtle and compassionate bond that beckons it to stoop low for the first time, inviting you on for a ride. A truly wondrous chance moment.

As within so without

And vice versa. Here is where I speculate, however. Based on my own experiences, I have a hunch that external reality, or the matrix, if you wish, is somehow a perfectly beautiful expression of our inner nature. What we are seeing as we breathlessly witness current events together is a vast symbolic representation of ourselves, in the patient and loving panopticon of space time (or time space). The occult observers and the empirical sciences both seek to discern patterns in our reality. Both agree that there is (internal) self-consistency and coherence, albeit strange, in these patterns. Disagreements arise however due to language. Any language will hide as much as it reveals.

Transitions to a Systemic Reality

I also have a related hunch that our shared language of reality is about to move its baseline pulse from a dualistic oppositional perspective to a systemic or ecological one, en masse. Again, I'm speculating on the basis of my own intuition, observation, and experience, but what that would mean is that the old pistons labeled dark and light in opposition, and all the fear that exhausts itself from those engines, would move into a new systemic orbit, where learning to surf the motion of the whole system is more germain than fighting with each other for the self-presevation of individual identity. We are becoming the dance?

Where there's Fear, there's power

yellowseed mentioned just the other day, that god placed cherubim and the flaming sword at the gates of eden upon our exile into knowledge. Jester has eloquently asked "What if we're all wrong".

I think any sense of our reality as a prison, or of the diabolical other as an enemy to be destroyed, must be created by the collective shadows of our conscious awareness, just as John Milton suggested, and as William Blake later expanded upon. (sorry, my wasichu school is showing).

What if, on a symbolic and energetic level, we're actually about to catch up to our shadow (or vice versa) and cleanse the doors of perception together, globally? Wouldn't That freak everyone out?!

Having experienced a kundalini awakening at one point in my life, I can tell you honestly that flipping that trip switch propels you into a very different luminous reality. Literally, surfaces crawled with blue information waves like the code of the matrix, and flowers had rainbows. Dancing and music made a lot more sense, and prevalent social values made far less. But it is bewildering to lose the boundaries of your self-identity. If it weren't for information about kundalini available in the far corners of the internet at that time in my life, and my partner who was experiencing and discovering this high weirdness along with me, my family would have likely checked me into a psych hospital.

What if the transformation of reality and the prophesied end of time as we know it is actually a mass awakening of latent human perceptual potential? What if we actually can raise the frequency of earth by no longer repressing our awesome natural power? I think it may be flying right in front of our faces, in the shadow of the splinter in our mind's eye.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

I just love the foregoing quote by Marianne Williamson. But I also see that we will need a radically different kind of society to bring its promise into manifestation. That we can actually help each other in this deeply challenging process is one of the gifts of the communication network. The blind observers each can put their hand on a different part of the walrus and tell what they discover. koo koo ka choo!
