[The Cosmic Connection] Astrology and Reincarnation with Astrologer Rick Levine. On Death, Saturn, Pluto and the Phoenix.

Last night, after another full 'on board' day, of busyness...

(regarding what is playing out for me to live through at this time...which is a hot pot of evolution through sticky Karmic energy)

....that gave my legs real physical strain, I only had the energy to read a couple of sentences before I was totally wiped out and fell into a deep sleep, and the short paragraph I was able to read really stuck out....and it was the energy of this statement that escorted me into sleep. which was really nice. 

...Historian Robert Turcan wisely observes that Pagan initiation "did not consist in 'returning to oneself,' but in becoming quite different by absorbing the TOTAL OTHERNESS which is divinity." This comment says more about the Mysteries than volumes of breathless hype for the God-self equation. page 137, Not In His Image, Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief, by John Lamb Nash. 

 This made so much sense to me that it is this constant absorbing of ALL, all the happenings, the responses, the light and the dark, the seemingly good and the seemingly bad, All the occurrences that arrive at the door between the inner and the outer life, are all of the ALL THAT IS. And it is the EGO who stands at this door as a security doorman, who in times of stress, finally gives up the ghost of trying to be Same As it Ever Was, broken down by many mini deaths as it struggles to keep in charge of its human. But the human is not allowed to stand still, the human is being woven into the path of superhuman which straddles many dimensions. 

Today its coming clear that : It Is the huge amount of happenings, and obvious and not so obvious, energy responses and energy interactions that we are in the middle of, from minute to minute...

all that observing, doing, enlightenment, thinking and experiencing that is all rushing IN and AROUND us now is flooding our systems, appropriate to each person and their potential evolution and expansion.

We have, luckily, a filter system that takes care of the myriad light information interactions that we participate in, so that for now we are only conscious of a few, and therefore can only respond consciously to these these few. 

But we are, all the time, responding to the not so obvious creations that unfold all around us. These are like light cascades, that burst through our nervous system synapses, that we are unaware of and that deeply affect and effect us.  

It is particularly during times of extreme stress, extreme action, extreme need, extreme contraction (Pluto) that when we 'get to the resulting expansion that follows' there is almost a bliss state, a phoenix-like 'out breath'... as we have enlarged ourselves to take in ALL the energetic comings and goings. Mostly these machinations are subconscious,  while we focus on those affects and effects that we can deal with consciously. 

Together this gives us a range of 'experiential energy participation' that is like receiving and processing thousands of light information packages that effect us and we release in 'feelings', and  where every nuance of  every 'variable of feeling' is accounted for and thus goes into  enlarging the self. 

Whereas before it was a trickle, now we are deluged to take in the 'expansive floods that allow us to become bigger.

So its funny, I woke this morning and remained sleepy/drowsy for ages, but Pluto came into my mind. 

I was wondering why Pluto appeared in my mind. Then later checking my emails, I came to a link to this Youtube and it wasn't until I watched it that I got the message about Pluto. The whole film by the way is awesome, the information is deep and wise about reincarnation and... I got to know Pluto better.

Pluto, (the destroyer) acts to give us those Phoenix-like moments that are the bliss moments only after the deep diving and extreme contractions in life that give us those mini deaths transformations to the EGO....

and then we find we have absorbed even more of TOTAL OTHERNESS.
