There is nothing we can say, or anything we can do that will change the truth. No matter how many ways we look at what goes on here the truth is incontestable. Everything else is a story. The truth is.
With Saturn now retrograde in Sagittarius (since March 14th) there is an awareness of truth permeating everything and the realization that this is “I”. Our vision sweeps across the vast landscape of experience stopping nowhere and defining nothing. Suddenly all is a glow with light. Words drift in and out. No meaning is attached to the little strings of thought that provide us with analysis. It is simply being aware of the moment without thought, without judgment.
When one sits in nature with a panoramic view of the surrounding area, the limitlessness of our true nature overwhelms any thought that this is a tree or a flower or a pebble. The bench upon which I sit disappears as does this body, from the mind that would rather cling to the structure of definition for security. Whether nature or people, there is no difference, the habitual need for referencing past experiences desists. There it is or rather here it is—freedom.
Day by day we bump up against each other, cells colliding and floating freely in all directions, all possibility, infinite potential. Only words deny our liberty; otherwise limitless expression of the Absolute.
With Sun in Aries until the 20th and Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius, there is additional motivation to discover Self and to share that, be that. In Sagittarius we seek truth. And whilst Saturn is in slow motion there, the desire is to ‘seek’ inward—Self inquiry—as the potential answer to every question.
Every living being longs to be happy…hence, in order to realize that inherent and untainted happiness…it is essential that he should know him self. For obtaining such knowledge the inquiry “Who am I?” in quest of the Self is the best means.
~Ramana Maharshi
Life is simplified, simple and is lived with the eyes and heart of a child prior to conditioning; pure innocence in the absence of judgment, the Page of Wands standing with confidence, looking ahead and knowing with youthful enthusiasm that all that comes to him is exactly as he wishes. Nothing else is possible.
The only instruction that is left for us to follow is ‘to be of service’. And what does this mean? Authenticity, unwavering truth and the expression of this which is represented in the King of Wands. Wands are fire, the fire of passion. Wands are intuitive knowing that precedes all expression and is therefore without judgment. The King of this suit epitomizes truth and sharing that so that all may receive the benefits of his wisdom. He is recognized for these attributes and shines like a beacon for all to see.
We have crossed a threshold recently, March 20th when the New Moon was at 29 degrees Pisces bringing to completion a long human experience of suffering to be of service. No suffering required, no effort required and as such the Ten of Cups testifies to the completion of a cycle of emotional experience. Tens are endings. The work is finished and we are ready to move on, without baggage to the freedom of not being driven by insecurity or self doubt. There is no ‘self’ to be in doubt. There is the ego that would have us believe in a separate entity here but it is an accumulation of thought, not what is, everything and therefore the terms more, better or different do not apply.
In April, may the raw enthusiasm and sense of adventure that imbues this time of year ignite the desire for freedom that moves you not from anything but to the realization that freedom is here, right now, unending and available in this moment! The only thing to overcome…is the notion that it is not…
