Resilience is “the capacity to adapt to changing conditions and to maintain or regain functionality and vitality in the face of stress or disturbance.

The above was written regarding the resilience of architecture in case of energy interruptions or loss. Treehugger daily newsletter is written by an architect who focuses frequently on green building, small homes and eco architecture that support the environment (also on other pertinent subjects) It occurred to me though, how appropriate the word resilience is for all of us as we enter this year of 2017 more deeply in February.
Deeper does not mean that life becomes more complex rather more simple. Complexity arises as the mind attempts to ‘figure out’ how this simplicity can happen. When we are resilient, acceptance of what is allows us to motor on without becoming emotionally, psychologically or physically incapacitated. The mind is not in resistance; rather flows freely with circumstances and the natural movement of life.The energy of 2017 takes us to a higher high. February is the month of initiation. January was still mired in organizing details from 2016—the inauguration for example.As a number One this year is the Magician, having the ability to create and manifest based purely on the energy of alignment with that which is the source of everything; that which is everything. Energy is energy. There is distinction between this energy or that energy. Separation comes about as the mind begins to identify form from energy as something apart from Self.
Separation creates suffering. The energy of the Magician has no awareness of suffering only the vitality of life and limitless possibilities. The energy of the Magician has no awareness of ‘anything that is not okay; that needs fixing or improvement’. The Magician is the vital flow of energy that is necessary for creation. Thought is not yet present. Thought/mind in astrology may be associated with Gemini and the 3rd house. Mind is not involved in number One. Number One is source, essentiality, absolute and there, is only perfection.The month begins with Mars, the Moon and Uranus in Aries with an exact square of Mercury with Uranus (this as Mercury separates from a conjunction with Pluto). Aries as the first sign of the zodiac reflects the energy of One, the Magician and initiation, action or flow to be in the world in a way that is Truth; not to push against resistance but to create a powerful flow through hearts joining as one that dissolves resistance to. Nothing remains in the light of Love except Love. As Mercury has been experiencing a purification process (conjunction to Pluto and a square to Uranus the enlightener) and our thoughts based on social conditioning lose ground, we are freer to embrace everything here to create what we want rather than fighting against what we feel is not for the highest good. That which is, is and is therefore Love too!Everything is a reflection of us. Our elected leaders are a reflection of us. As one we cannot deny the beauty of what we create in Love. As one we cannot deny what we create in Fear. We all know this—if we want peace then know the peace in our hearts. If we want Love then know the Love in our hearts and Be that—always. Give this always. The rest we cannot know!
The Six of Cups is a ‘special card’ that has been described several times over the years by this writer. I call it the card of unconditional Love. An older child is handing a bouquet of flowers, the gift of their heart to a smaller child who is in the act of receiving. It is a representation of the perfect flow of energy that allows everything. Love is palpable. Very little needs be said. Six is the number of, as above so below—spirit manifest as form in physical reality—still ‘spirit’ and always spirit--Love.
This is your own creation so enjoy It: Love everything, Be and radiate Love. As Love you are seated in the Heart of all Beings and they in yours. Here within the Heart you can see everything because everything is projected from here. The rose is Silent, yet it attracts. So those in Love have faces shining with Beauty. If you cannot hold the Love, if you cannot contain it, then distribute it to all, for it is always Full. Love all, no matter what, Love all. It will win all ‘battles’.~Sri H.W.L. Poonja, Papaji from This
There is a ‘malady’ within us, ma-lady, that is a great disturbance to our psyche and sense of Self. It is the conditioning that we have inherited from one generation to the next. It is the denial of our greatest fears and least admirable qualities that are just as much a part of human nature as anything else. These qualities were attributed to Lilith in mythology and she, the serpent in the garden, was vilified and cast into the desert.
These days if we wish to move our creation into deeper awareness the ‘lady’, the mother denied, must be embraced. It is no wonder that she shows up so prevalently now. She is begging to be loved. The Devil number fifteen of the Tarot asks us to look at the fears that limit us. We are chained to our suffering through fear. We become powerless in the face of that which we deny or resist. To Be Love everything must be embraced, nothing can be denied.Do we trust our selves? Only when we are completely transparent. Do we Love Self?Only when we are completely naked then Truth cannot be hidden. When all the cards are on the table there is trust, there may not be agreement and that is okay.
If you are honest, truthful, and transparent, people trust you. If people trust you, you have no grounds for fear, suspicion or jealousy.
