A NEW DANCE

Thank you for all the loving energy. I felt everything was a little better both yesterday and today; subtle but solid. It is like yesterday was a 'new' day and that feeling continues. I will provide an update from time to time.

Happy New Moon! I have often had downers during the New Moon, not today and during a Mercury Retrograde too.

My knowledge of Astrology is very thin. My experience with the New Moon is empirical and I don't know if astrology supports it. Some forty years ago I noted that I always felt uplifted when I first saw that sliver of a waxing moon as it sank in the West. Then I realized I was mildly depressed [or worse] around the time of the New Moon. It would usually come on me the day before or the day of the New Moon and last two or three days. I didn't know anybody else who experienced this. Several years later I consulted a guru type and was told all about the Moon's effect on the bodies water, much like the tides in the ocean. I was advised that it was related to the judgements I was holding onto and as I gave up judgement it would mitigate. That made sense to me as it was an angry depression. There was anger right below the surface waiting for some one to tap into it. It hasn't completely gone away, but it is much less frequent and rarely intense.

I don't know about Mercury Retrograde. There is probably something to it. It warns you of making new purchases, of signing new contracts, of possible machinery breakdowns etc. It also implies it is a good time to look over the recent past and prepare for renewal. Don't take my word for it, I am not a good source of information on the subject.

I am always concerned that if something makes you wary it could create a self-fulfilling prophecy. We shape our world with fear as well as love. Anticipating negatives can help bring them on. I don't like going through the day worrying that my computer could go out, my car could get a flat tire, I could be sued or the stamp could drop off the envelope I just mailed. Yes, we can take warnings without inserting our emotions or raising our fear level but it can be tricky. If there is something to these Astrological Events they could be expressed in a positive way to avoid triggering our latent paranoia.

Whatever the reason I feel marvelous today! I feel like I stepped out of the past and into the now. Everything is new. Everything is possible. Miracles are abundant. I know. I know. It might not last. In a couple hours I may be drifting down a shit stream. But, hey! Maybe not too.

I have been trying to understand our Oneness with Our Creator. I can grasp it intellectually. Everything is energy. We come from the energy of creation. We are the same substance. We are essentially the same mind. We are one with that mind. The mind of our Father/Mother God.

Intellectuality is not knowing. Knowing comes from the heart/mind. It is feeling the truth of it. It is experiencing the truth of it.

Last Night I read that when we accept our Oneness with the creator, the dance begins. I throw my arms up and say, “Okay Father/Mother God you lead.”

Love and Peace, Gregg
