^Enchanted Land^
(Daily phenomena and star ratings at the end of this report)
DHE, August 10 through October 5. MR (at the center of the DHE): August 30 through September 21.
I don't think anyone, anyone, anyone, including you and me, understands the depth and importance of the Dark Hermetic Epochs with Mercury Retrograde periods at their core. These are major major changes, and times with a different dimensional reality: we actually enter some other dimension, neither past nor present nor future, during the DHE, which is somewhat less than half the time. We enter an Enchanted Land.
Today I wanted to get out of the house and relax, after a difficult week. Instead I fell into a deep slumber, which was very good for me. I repeated prayers and mantras before and during it. We do enter other dimensions during these periods, more heavily and concretely and imperatively than during the Bright Hermetic Epochs.
Then, when I finally did get on a bus to the beach, for a little sunset excursion, it was fairly nice, although a woman waiting for the bus with me was screaming into her cell phone complaints about her working conditions and co-workers. She didn't stop until she finally got off the bus. The working schedule was all mixed up and she was being done wrong. I don't disbelieve her but wished I could have explained to her that this stuff just happens more during the DHE and MR periods.
Then, at the beach, I had some sublime moments, and ordered a sandwich and a beer. Both were delicious, excellent. I wrote a friend on my mobile phone. I read an article about the impossible scenario of 9/11/01, when three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition and the media and the government, and now Facebook, will not even allow us to read about the evidence for that. (That day was the very first day of a Dark Hermetic Epoch, which began, demonstratively and mathematically, that morning before the buildings were struck.) Then after my sojourn I tried to get back on the bus, could not find the stop, asked about it, finally was told by a lone gentleman in the advancing darkness that I had to take the bus in the same direction I had come, and it would turn around because it was the end of the line. Mercury retrograde! Quite literally: Get on a bus going in one direction to go in the opposite direction!
I did this and asked the driver of the new end-of-the-line bus if we would be waiting 20 minutes and he said, "Well, exactly 18 minutes." That was interesting because it was the night of the Full Moon (actually it happened around noon my time) and I was at a beach and the Tarot Card 18 shows a pool with crab and crayfish coming out of it and a full moon and is ruled by the sign Pisces and the moon tonight was in Pisces, void-of-course. I thought it would be a good time to go to the beach for no purpose except relaxation and natural luxury, and it was. But still there were the MR complications of waiting for the bus, for example. The moon is still in Pisces as I write, and will go into Aries in about 20 minutes. I do not refrain from writing these reports when the moon is void-of-course, as it is now, any more than you refrain from going to work or putting on your shoes when that is happening. But the atmosphere and mode are different.
The bus driver was talkative, in accord with the Full Moon when people are more aware, and went on and on about how he loved discovering new areas in Seattle. He told me that some people tonight were going to take the same bus I was on back to the beach at night with lawn chairs to observe the Full Moon. I thought that was a good idea but had to come home to write this report.
WE REALLY DO NEED TO THINK MORE DEEPLY ABOUT THE DARK HERMETIC EPOCHS AND MERCURY RETROGRADE PERIODS. They do put us in a different dimension. That is why things often get bollixed up in our workaday world. We are trying to live in two different dimensions. It is not easy and we need instruction in how to do it. I have been struggling for four decades to explain this to people, with very little success; and here I go again, with my latest explanation in condensed version, improved from a couple weeks ago:
DHE, August 10 through October 5. MR (at the center of the DHE): August 30 through September 21.
1. Heavy side of it: MR-(and DHE-)Heavy: Uncertainty, confusion in plans, wondering if one has any plan at all that makes any sense. Plans look like they are failing. Dithering, slacking off, feeling out of it. At worst, despair and self-contempt.
2. MR-Lite: Not too bad, just a lot of extra stuff to do which seems trivial. Odd stuff for me with Twitter (someone mentioned me in a tweet so that everyone who "liked" the tweet or retweeted it automatically had an email sent me by Twitter telling me so--utterly meaningless and annoying to me so that I stopped following the peculiar person responsible). Trying hard to keep up with schedule and finding it almost impossible. Extra pointless stuff seems to come up. Taking a shower or finding an article of clothing has extra complexities, wasting time. Technological problems, online glitches which waste so much time. And on and on. Mind-wandering or daydreaming and not even recalling what it was all about or why.
3. MR-Nice: Relax a little! Slack off in a good way. Give the world and G*d a vacation, and yourself, so we don't have to be hassling everyone and ourselves all the time. We need to do free-form, "out-of-pattern" stuff every day. You have lunch or dinner somewhere you usually don't. You read things or watch things you ordinarily don't. You switch your schedule around without thinking much about it just because it feels better that way.
4. MR-Revise: You see how to improve things you are doing. Yet you may not be sure. So you try a little bit one way, then another way. It is experimental. That is fine, but my advice is, BE CAREFUL that you do not go too far in some presumptive scheme which will fail and leave you out of money or time or feeling like a fool. Experiment, but be cautious about putting any results of your experiment into full effect. Wait and see. Probably the practical plans you had going for you before the MR period began are the best.
5. MR-Psychic: You have vivid dreams, which might be on the astral plane as subjective realities (philosophers in general do not understand what "subjective realities" means unless they are strict phenomenologists). (Google puts a red line under the word, not even knowing what phenomenologists are or that they exist!) You feel you are in telepathic communion with people at a distance or those who have passed from this world. Probably you are.
6. MR-Exalted: You can even rise above all this, everything, into a spiritual state of consciousness you don't reach at other times. Meditation or prayer, or silent musing, leads you somewhere real which you would not be able to put into words or explain to anyone. The Supreme seems more available, for those who care about Him or put their minds on Him or Her. Atheists could think of that as reaching out toward Infinity. Consciousness has greater possibilities than we usually assume.
And I will leave it at that, although there is so much more that could be said. Please try to understand that this is a basic distinction in consciousness, that between the Dark and Bright Hermetic Epochs---for the human race and for you and for me, as long as we inhabit this planet and have not evolved into some being other than human, for every human is the manomaya purusha, the mental being. The cycles of the earth, Mercury, and the sun (Sol) are very important to us.
Enough for now. I hope you have a happily Enchanted weekend.
