Message for Thursday 18 April 2024

\A Portion of a Parable/

Reminder: People tend to be very confused while Mercury is retrograde, April 1-25. Often VERY confused and that means they don't even know they are confused. That includes politicians of all stripes. It includes you and all with whom you attempt to communicate. We need to calm down.

Frankly I don't feel like writing a message just now.

As you might guess, I'm blaming Mercury's retrograde motion (April 1-25). It can be honest laziness. It can be weighing inner values (peace of mind) over outer values (continuing with these reports faithfully for the sake of the readers). Or it could, at best, be rising into a higher beyond-the-mind region of spiritual awareness. 

"A Consciousness that knows not its own truth,

A vagrant hunter of misleading dawns,

Moves here in a half-light that seems the whole

Or runs upon a road that has no end;

In some huge void Inconscience it lives,

Like a thought persisting in a wide emptiness.

As if an unintelligible phrase 

Suggested a million renderings to the Mind,

It lends a purport to the random world.

A conjecture leaning upon doubtful proofs,

A message misunderstood, a thought confused

Missing its aim is all that it can speak

Or a fragment of the universal word.  . . .

Thus is the meaning of creation veiled;

For without context reads the cosmic page;

Its signs stare at us like an unknown script,

As if appeared screened by a foreign tongue

Or code of splendor signs without a key

A portion of a parable sublime."

-- Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, pp. 55-56
