19-25 July Neutrino Weather: interesting shifts!
This week the Nodes of the Moon are shifting to positions that can sidetrack us into judgments and opinions instead of learning to understand the patterns of life in a life-affirming and stimulating way that leads to joy. Human Rights are coming into the spotlight for the months to come… let’s try to uphold and defend them!
Reflection of the week: a good week to observe the beliefs we live by.
This week, the Sun energizes the energetic outlet in our Throat Centre that allows us to convert the images of the mind, and the ideas, and bring them into linguistic form. It allows us to translate mental imagery into a ‘story’ that can be agreed upon. It is a stimulating aspect of our expressive capacity, a ‘voice’ – whether verbal or not - that conveys a certain emotionality and stimulation.
The heading of the hexagram says: “Stability through movement. The perpetuation of continuity through the linking of short-term activity” and refers to the transitory nature of ideas, and how ideas are to be shared in order to stimulate each other, but not something to get stuck into.
When we approach the Throat Centre through the mind, we get caught in a mental stance that shifts the focus towards seeking external validation, or attention and distracts us from our individual experience and stance in life.
Here we develop mental convictions that shape our perspectives and behavior. These convictions carry the potential to disconnect us from our direct experience of the present moment. They may lead to ideologies that we end up living by. We get distracted into a way of life instead of experiencing life individually.
The binary of the mind swings between a collapsed stance, in the face of abstract representations, or becoming overly attached to them.
I find the documentary The Social Dilemma a good source of information that allows us to see the mind at play through this energetic outlet. The documentary explains the catastrophic consequences of teenagers standing in a collapsed way, in the face of abstract representations, while others stand more in an inflated way. Both positions have nothing to do with our embrace of awareness and the interconnectedness that results from it.
When we can witness our attachment to the ways of experience put forward through this energetic outlet, we come in touch with the phrase of John in the Bible: “Be in the world but not from it.” Our fulfillment does not come from our identification with the ways of experience laid out by the collective.
Osho reminds us to engage with the world, and participate in it while maintaining a sense of detachment:
“Living in the world but not belonging to the world is renunciation. Running away from the world in fear is not freedom from the world, it is a subtle but very deep bondage. Don’t run from the world; just be aware of yourself. If you try to run away even greater fear will grip you; if you stay aware you will find safety. Only fearlessness that has been acquired through knowing will give you freedom.”
(Osho, The Long, the Short and the All, Ch1)
