50 not out

I celebrated my 50th birthday last year, and am currently experiencing another important milestone, my Chiron Return. This occurs when the planet (that isn’t a planet) Chiron returns to the position it occupied at birth, bringing with it the opportunity for deep, inner transformation and healing. It takes fifty years to travel round the entire chart, so I probably won’t see another one, and that’s what makes it special. Of course, being aware of this sometime in advance I set things up so that I could max out this magical portal, and I am happy to report that so far it’s been a very rich and beneficial, though occasionally challenging, experience.

Spiritual Excellence

We live in a society that is increasingly devoid of excellence, a period of history where high standards (or sometimes any standards at all) seem to have gone AWOL.

This is partly because excellence is hard, partly because people who cannot do it are jealous of those who can, but also because excellence is discouraged, made to sound off-putting by those who seek to wield power over us. The lowering of standards – be they of education, morality, discipline, speech, culture or appearance – is, according to some, merely one link in the ongoing demoralisation strategy well explained by Yuri Bezmenov

Guest Post: A Message of Hope, from Hope

From one of my students, called Hope…

I can’t find it in me to understand

How 2 years on, your head’s still in the sand.

Is it fear that keeps the majority silent?

It must be an easier life to just be compliant.

Will you still bite your tongue when they push more and more?

If your friends and your family are dragged from their doors?

22/2/2022

As we home in on two important dates – the USA Pluto Return on 20/2/2022 and the Terrible Twos on 22/2/2022 - I thought I would try to provide some clarity about what is going on in the world.

If you were born in the West in the twentieth century then you arrived into a society ruled by the number 1.

Pick a year - 1994, 1972, 1961, 1945, 1933 – all the years of the twentieth century began with a 1, but they also began with 19, and 1 + 9 = 10 = 1. 1 was the energy of the masculine, the element Fire, of pioneering innovation and invention, but also of short sightedness and selfishness. 1 = Me. 1 = The Magician in the Tarot.

Sameness is the problem. Uniqueness is the cure.

Uniqueness is the reason Coronavirus affects people differently; why one person feels crap for two days before bouncing back, while another gets put on a respirator. Everyone is different.

Uniqueness is the reason for vaccine side effects. Give two people the same dose of the same vaccine in the same place at the same time and one will skip out of the room and the other will be carried out in a trolley. Everyone is different. And denial of uniqueness is the reason side effects are under-reported. People who do not understand human uniqueness, who think we are all just blades of grass, cannot grasp how Dave reacts one way while Steve reacts another.

I finally realised...

I finally realised. The other day, in a flash of light, I finally understood what spirituality was really all about.

Spirituality is not just about love, light and peace. It is about rebellion. At its core spirituality requires that you reject earthly authority.

You cannot claim to be spiritual if you comply with anything that runs counter to your conscience. In short, if you do as you are told by those in earthly power then you aren’t following God, you are giving way to fear. And compliance is the exact opposite of spirituality.
