Let your instinctual shadows
Turn into the words that
you whisper
in your morning prayers
A ritual offering to your fears
Let the darkness seep through
And witness how it becomes wind
Let it be
a stepping stone
a work in progress
a servant without chains
Enter the wild places within you
Like you enter the forest
Humble and open
without apologies
You are the hunter
and you are the prey
There is no perfection
And that in itself is
perfect
Man of this earth,
Your hands are busy crafting, shaping ideas into forms
Touching wood, feeling for perfection
Turning romance into a work in progress
Your habits becomes an hymn
Whisper in my ear, your to-do list,
messages from the gods.
A healthy dose of fresh air, makes you a careful lover.
The Sun is setting, you make a fire
with your hands, you shape tomorrow.
There is a lot of work to be done
and you will rise with the Sun
birds chirping and all.
There is two side to the story
The beauty of an idea, reflected in everything.
Your mind becomes mine
Thoughts scattered on a mirror
and reflected back to the world.
At night, you talk in your sleep
Words whispered in your ear
Playing the telephone game
with God and his friends.

Happy New Moon in Aries!
The problem with being polite and considerate of others opinion is that it can eventually lead you away from your goal. Do not confuse the dreams of others for your own. Even a well-intentioned advice from a friend could be totally wrong for you.
Sometimes you just have to ignore the opinions, the advice, the pros and cons, the incessant wavering and just GO FOR IT.
How can you create the life that you want if you constantly vacillate
between the would, should and could, of other people’s perspectives?
Your life is: your path, your dream, your creation and your vision.
Sometime you just have to let the world be, and do your own thing.
Sometime you just have to say fuck off, and get on with it.
Lots of love to you all

Something totally new is emerging from the depth of your being. You can perceive the first rays of a new awareness but you can’t put a name on it yet. It’s too early to see the shapes that are lurking just beneath the surface. Let it be that way for now. You can’t force the flower to grow. Soon enough, the dreams will become matter and the fantasies that fuel your soul will become another cornerstone laid in the foundation of your existence.
You thought you knew because you read it in a book
The words fed to the masses and traded for faith
The ideas of the prophet translated as memes
Blinding beliefs sold as merchandise
Making profit on the devotees.
Beyond the frontiers of dogma,
there is an unrestrained freedom
but to get there, you have to forget about
the uncivilised freedom of the old school rock star.
What you thought was the truth
is only the beginning of a lie.
Go back to the body, go back to the rhythm of the heart.
Loose yourself in the purifying fires of not knowing with the mind.
Faith is a big word
Freedom is even bigger
The Word distracts you from the truth
into the exquisite pleasures of description.
While the real you sits quietly knowing,
filled with every single spark that shines forth from the Sun.
The teacher shapes you into an anxious contradiction.
A skilled puppet
Who is in charge?
Is it the Donkey or the Spirit Rider

O Nut! You became a spirit,
you waxed mighty in the belly of your mother Tefnut before you were born.
How mighty is your heart!
You stirred in the belly of your mother in your name of Nut,
you are indeed a daughter more powerful than your mother…
O Great One who has become the Sky!
You have the mastery, you have filled every place with your beauty,
the whole earth lies beneath you, you have taken possession thereof,
you have enclosed the whole earth and everything therein within your arms,
As Geb I shall impregnate you in your name of sky,
I shall join the whole earth to you in every place.
O high above the earth! You are supported upon your father Shu,
but you have power over him,
he so loved you that he placed himself – and all things beside- beneath you.
Poem spoken by Geb to his wife Nut in the Pyramid Texts
And it was morning as God stood before his twelve children and into each of them planted the seed of human life. One by one each child stepped forward to receive his appointed gift.
To you ARIES I give my seed first that you might have the honour of planting it. That for every seed you plant one million more will multiply in your hand. You will not have time to see the seed grow for everything you plant creates more that must be planted. You will be the first to penetrate the soil of men’s minds with My Idea. But it is not your job to nourish the Idea nor to question it. Your life is action and the only action I ascribe to you is to begin making men aware of My Creation. For your good work I give you the virtue of Self Esteem.
To you TAURUS I give the power to build the seed into substance. Your job is a great one requiring patience for you must finish all that has been started or the seeds will be wasted to the wind. You are not to question nor change your mind in the middle nor to depend on others for what I ask you to do. For this I give you the gift of Strength. Use it wisely.
To you GEMINI I give the questions without answers so that you may bring to all an understanding of what man sees around him. You will never know why men speak or listen, but in your quest for the answer you will find my gift of Knowledge.
To you CANCER I ascribe the task of teaching men about emotion. My Idea is for you to cause them laughter and tears so that all they see and think develops fullness from inside. For this I give you the gift of Family, that your fullness may multiply.
To you LEO I give the job of displaying My Creation in all its brilliance to the world. But you must be careful of pride and always remember that it is My Creation, not yours. For if you forget this men will scorn you. There is much joy in the job I give to you if you but do it well. For this you are to have the gift of Honour.
To you VIRGO I ask for an examination of all man has done with My Creation. You are to scrutinize his ways sharply and remind him of his errors so that through you My Creation may be perfected. For doing this I give you the gift of Purity of Thought.
To you LIBRA I give the mission of service, that man may be mindful of his duties to others. That he may learn cooperation as well as the ability to reflect the other side of his actions. I will put you everywhere there is discord, and for your efforts I will give you the gift of Love.
To you SCORPIO I give a very difficult task. You will have the ability to know the minds of men, but I do not permit you to speak about what you learn. Many times you will be pained by what you see, and in your pain you will turn away from Me and forget that it is not I but the perversion of My Idea that is causing your pain. You will see so much of man that you will come to know him as animal and wrestle so much with his animal instincts in yourself that you will lose your way; but when you finally come back to Me, Scorpio, I have for you the supreme gift of Purpose.
SAGITTARIUS, I ask you to make men laugh for amidst their misunderstanding of My Idea they become bitter. Through laughter you are to give man hope, and through hope turn his eyes back to Me. You will touch many lives if but only for a moment, and you will know the restlessness in every life you touch. To you Sagittarius I give the gift of Infinite Abundance, that you may spread wide enough to reach into every corner of darkness and bring it light.
Of you CAPRICORN, I ask the toil of your brow, that you might teach men to work. Your task is not an easy one for you will feel all of man’s labours on your shoulders; but for the yoke of your burdens I put the responsibility of man in your hands.
To you AQUARIUS I give the concept of future that man might see other possibilities. You will have the pain of loneliness for I do not allow you to personalize My Love. but for turning man’s eyes to new possibilities I give you the gift of Freedom, that in your liberty you may continue to serve mankind whenever he needs you.
To you PISCES I give the most difficult task of all. I ask you to collect all of man’s sorrow and return it to me. Your tears are to be ultimately My tears. The sorrow you will absorb is the effect of man’s misunderstanding My Idea, but you are to give him compassion that he may try again. For this the most difficult task of all I give the greatest gift of all. You will be the only one of My twelve children to understand Me. But this gift of understanding is for you, Pisces, for when you try to spread it to man he will not listen.
Then God said, “You each have a part of My Idea. You must not mistake that part for all of My Idea, nor may you desire to trade parts with each other. For each of you is perfect, but you will not know that until all twelve of you are ONE. For then the whole of My Idea will be revealed to each of you.”
