This may be the first time in my entire ten years of writing this blog that I have started to write my next post apparently before anyone at all has read my previous post. Given the significance and enormity of this weekend's events, given the personal and philosophical nature of my writing, and given the powerful energy of this current shift upwards, I guess I am not surprised. Too much is happening. Tomorrow's full moon/eclipse is yet another portal, and all of us are, in one way or another, "hanging on for dear life".
Still, I continue to watch these events as if through clouded glasses. When you arrive at 70 realizing that you are completely "post-duality", the utter absurdity of the concept of war becomes the most unbearable thing, not the pain of knowing that people are being killed and all life on earth disrupted. The biggest tragedy is philosophical, the outmoded belief that anyone can ever win a conflict, the belief that any side will ever be victorious, or prevail, or gain anything longterm from war.
Originally, I had planned to write today about volcanoes. I've started to do something that I might previously have considered a waste of time, but at the moment feels calming -- filling in "adult" coloring books. Oddly enough, the first image I chose to color was of an erupting volcano. It resonated with me. Even putting aside the events in the news, Mother Earth is clearly undergoing profound shifts of her own. My hunch is, She's probably just about had it with having the surface of Her skin cratered by bombs, Her people pointlessly killed, Her air and rivers poisoned by weaponry and toxins. Her consciousness is expanding just as ours is, and what was trapped within is pouring outward and will do so at an ever-increasing rate. Some might say that the consequences of natural disasters are as tragic as manmade events, but I don't see it that way, especially at this moment in history. I guess my bias slants firmly in the direction of the Goddess, and the survival of Earth itself. Whether it remains habitable for life, any form of life, is Her first priority, and because we don't seem to be able to put Her safety first. She may end up acting quite radically to do it Herself. Nature is ultimately in charge here. It is too bad our leaders and generals don't seem to understand that.
