FREEDOM

     Uranus turned retrograde this morning. Liberation turns inward and I detach from the hideous noise of the news industry, purveyor of fear, distrust and unease. The culture of weird ego dramatization. Returning to the nurturing wisdom that is here now, the wisdom of being present. Consciousness expands. Emerging awakening feeling of peaceful spacious living, you can feel it right? You can feel the awakening right in the swirling mists of bullshit and fear. You can know that this deeper truth is always here, as the sages have written. 
     I awake in the middle of the night to write this. The newspapers describe a culture deluded and hostile and afraid, a world of suffering. And yet we are free together, on this deeper level, as we have always been, what incredible good fortune to know it!
In spite of external ego terrors, imaginary demons, archetypes of despair, icons of cruelty, fascination with death, strange metaphors for disappointment. 
     In spite of all this chaos, I have an underlying faith in life and an ever expanding experience of healing! The enduring values of dignity and respect, those qualities that sustain us. Ego is fading, dying into solemn serenity and the experience of peace. Incredible confusion breaks open and yields to deepening connection to reality. Such spiritual wisdom as we find when we quit trying to name and analyze the problem, and we fall in love with the solution, that reality is already complete.
