Dazed and Confused
By Cal Garrison
I'm not sure what's going on anymore. There was a time when I thought I had it all figured out but these days, I feel like the world is changing so fast and so much is coming to light all at once there's no sense trying to make sense of it.
Were it not for the fact that I make my living trying to explain everything, none of this would trouble me. Some days I wake up totally amused by my new found cluelessness — but on the days when I have to sit down and be articulate enough to put the universe into words, it becomes a bit of a problem.
Without going into the details of what being unable to think has done for my perspective, I am here to tell you that for the past few months writing anything has been harder than usual. Collecting my thoughts used to be a linear, one-thing-at-a-time affair. At this point whenever I attempt to focus it feels more like trying to hold light in a basket.
When it came time to think about doing an article for the June issue I realized that if it was going to get done I would have to approach it differently. With everything coming in spherically and simultaneously since I haven't figured out how to write holographically, at the moment the best I can do is record one flash at a time. Forgive me for assuming you want to be part of this experiment. I don't know how, or if what follows will wind up being connected, but if you can bear with me let's try this and see where it goes.
What about the oil spill? How do we identify the deeper meaning in a catastrophe that could very well lead to our last gasp? This thing is so huge it makes all of our other considerations seem inconsequential.
I don't know how it works for you but when things get too big to explain, I thank God I am an astrologer. On the day that plumes of crude oil started gushing through the pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico all I could think of was, 'Pluto rules oil. He also happens to be stationed at the root of the Cross of Matter. Holy shit! This is the Lord of Hell broadcasting live from the bowels of the Earth'.
How perfect that he would decide to unleash his life's blood just in time for us to remember that, for the Hopi wisdom keepers, this was the Seventh Sign.
"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."
All kinds of stuff is going on with the magnetic field. We are currently under the influence of anomalous radiations from inter-stellar space, radiations that are a little different than what we normally receive from our Sun. The resultant increase in magnetic storms has had a huge effect, on the planet and on all of her elements and bodily fluids. Could these magnetic field fluctuations have something to do with the volcanoes in Iceland and the disaster in the Gulf? Do things like this trigger the lava flows and alter the way oil courses through the pipelines? Could the same geomagnetic storms have an effect on the meters and gauges that help us measure these things?
I am no scientist but I trust the Hermetic Axiom. A little common sense tells me that all of these things are related. And when I remind myself that every aspect of the human organism is not only magnetic and polarized but intimately connected with the rest of the cosmos, is it any surprise that our blood pressure is up, our hearts are palpitating, and our senses intensified in a way that makes us feel like we too are coming unglued?
If you're wondering why you're not in the mood to keep up appearances, stick to the program, or pretend that you've got it all together, blame it on the magnetic field. No, you're not losing it; you're stepping out of the box. Shifting into unity, maybe it's time to relax and surrender to the fact that it's no longer our job to know which end is up.
Speaking of which end is up: I have also heard that the magnetic field is no longer circulating in its normal fashion. The magnetic field is a lot like the human auric field. Toroidal in nature, it circulates around the Earth, in through the North Pole and out through the South Pole where it travels up, around the planet and into the North Pole again.
Of late, scientists have grown concerned over the fact that, instead of following its usual pattern, the flow of magnetic energy is now exiting the South Pole and returning back from whence it came, up through the axial channel. It's as if the poles have decided to meet in the middle — which would seem to cancel both of them out. Could this be part of what happens right before a planet shifts out of polarity?
We are moving through a period where the planets are doing some really interesting things. The one that has my attention right now is Uranus; because he is about to cross the Alpha and Omega point in the zodiac. Also known as the Aries Point, this is the place where everything begins and ends and everything that issues forth has an impact on all of humanity.
That the planet that not only rules the Aquarian Age, but also governs electricity, higher consciousness, flashes of insight, new inventions, eccentric behavior, lightening, thunder, earthquakes, eruptions, revolutions, polar events, 180-degree turns, and things that exist beyond the boundaries of custom and belief, is about to conjoin the point that has direct rulership over the masses is no small thing. What the outcome of their latest conjunction will be is something every astrologer I know has been speculating upon for at least ten years.
Sometimes it's better to think less about the aspects and pay more attention to what happens in the outside world whenever they form. Looking back at what happened the last time Uranus transited the Aries Point, the Stock Market crashed. Within a year The Great Depression was in full swing. I find it interesting that eighty-one years later here we sit, wringing our hands over inflation, exchange rates, the collapse of the dollar, and the whole matter of our survival, confronting the very same thing.
If the Uranus-Aries Point conjunction was the only aspect we had to contend with life would be so much easier. This time we've got a number of other planetary configurations going on simultaneously; all of them have apocalyptic overtones and all of them are hovering over the Axis of the World. These are not what you'd call 'easy' aspects and they involve three of the heaviest hitters in the solar system, also known as the 'Malefics', let me introduce you to Saturn, Pluto, and Uranus.
If we consider Mother Earth to be a living entity, picture Saturn in his hooded cloak holding his scythe over her body. Now picture Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld rising up from the depths of Hades, confronting her with eons of pain and trauma. Last but not least imagine Uranus, the most unpredictable character in the solar system, cooking up one catastrophe after another right under her nose. Is she flipping out? Wouldn't you be?
That we happen to be living here now is no coincidence. If we are indeed the ones we have been waiting for our survival would seem to depend on our willingness to find the meaning in an experience that promises to be unsettling at best. There is always more than one way to look at things and theoretically, if our awareness could expand to embrace them, these malefic combinations have the capacity to generate enough wisdom for us to transmute all of it into an awakening, or a rebirth.
During a bout of insomnia, on a night when the oil spill had me thinking that things couldn't get any worse I was reminded that Drunvalo's broadcast, "The Birth of a New Humanity" would be aired on the twenty-sixth of May. Dates and times are always on my mind and it later occurred to me that on that day, Uranus would move into its conjunction with the Aries Point for the first time.
If there's anything to the widely held belief that this conjunction has the capacity to generate a consciousness shift on the part of the masses, don't you find it interesting that the man whose purpose is directly related to the evolution of human consciousness will be speaking about the new humanity to a worldwide audience on the day that the transit is within three minutes of a conjunction? Hello! Unless I am reading too much into it, the summer of 2010 could see all of us opening up to things that are totally out of this world.
Another sign that blew my socks off immediately prior to the Uranus/Aries Point conjunction happened earlier in the month of May. You may or may not have heard about it but the "X-Conference 2010" was held at the National Press Club, in Washington DC on the same day that President Obama was parading his latest Supreme Court nominee around town, elsewhere in the Capitol.
Eclipsed by 'more important things' the story of the century didn't make the headlines. Those who attended the conference report that it was publicly acknowledged that the alien presence is now officially recognized by both the government and the military. After over sixty years of suppression the big boys finally blew the lid off of one of their top secrets. I have a feeling the news didn't make the front page because someone upstairs would have been left with the task of letting the Pope know he was out of a job; and then they would have to go and tell the public why we weren't informed about the alien presence to begin with. Aside from that, whoever delivered the message would probably be lynched for wrecking all of our core beliefs; because that's what this ultimately comes down to.
If they drew straws to see who would get stuck with that chore, what do you bet they took pity on the poor guy? Or perhaps they woke up and realized that it would be better to down play the whole thing. Without even considering how the world might react to the news that the Pope wasn't blessed with the divine right to do anything, if the masses were suddenly informed that they had been duped into believing that life on this planet is all there is to it, it might trigger off a revolution. My God, what would happen if all of humanity woke up to the truth simultaneously? We can't have that; or can we?
Weeding through the intricacies of the alien disclosure scenario, the Uranus/Aries Point conjunction is all over it. For starters we've got secrets to awaken to at a time when the planet that is otherwise known as The Great Awakener will sit on the point that governs all of humanity. Hmmmm; if those secrets have to do with our space brothers, it would make perfect sense — because according to myth, Uranus is not of this Earth; he is 'Of the Stars'. You don't need to be an astrologer to see that this conjunction could give new meaning to the word 'contact'.
As the higher octave of Mercury, Uranus also holds rulership over our higher mental centers which means it's quite possible that with a little help from our friends we will begin to understand more about who we are in the universe. Even under enormous pressure from the three malefics, I am optimistic. In its highest expression this configuration could very well translate into a consciousness shift on the part of the masses.
We are in the early stages of this experience; who knows how things will proceed? Even so, it heartens me to know that the powers that be have finally come clean about the alien thing. It's about time. My sense is that we will observe many miracles in the months ahead.
Other events give me a reason to suspect that we might be waking up. Back in April the citizens of Slovenia and Lithuania volunteered in both nations in a public effort to clean up all the illegal waste dumps. The project was spearheaded by ordinary people who took time out of their lives to coordinate something that went beyond whatever they had to do for themselves. Beautifully organized, when the day came everyone knew exactly where they were supposed to go and what their job would involve. It took ONE DAY for two countries to clean up their own mess.
This tells me something is happening in the grass roots. It's as if a light went on and the general public, the masses, all of humanity, whatever you want to call us, all of a sudden realized that we don't need permission to clean up the planet. It also suggests that the people who inhabit this world care enough about it to want to heal it. Regardless of who we are and where we live, that desire is something all of us have in common right now.
Is part of this Uranus/Aries Point thing about all of us remembering that we're connected to all life everywhere? Are we beginning to reunite the human family? And what about our cosmic family? Could the fullness of who we really are, individually and collectively, be evolving away from self interest and separation into a greater sense of purpose and belonging? In spite of all the horrendous issues that confront us right now, as we cross over the point that governs the soul of humanity, it seems that way to me.
