9th house work ahead March 1, 2010
Posted by Liz Mead in : Matters Blue , trackbackApparently we have a higher mind.
I don’t know whether that’s true for everyone. Sometimes I’m not sure it’s true for me and I’m damn sure it’s not true for the low-life I saw being interviewed on the pseudo news show 60 minutes on the topic of stalking children online.
Although I could have turned off the show I didn’t – maybe as witness to the children – some of whom end up dead at the hands of these sick mothers.
Now, unfortunately, I can’t forget or shake the image of this particular man. But It’s not the individual that I loathe – it’s the common man nature of them.
They are everywhere and anyone.
We spoke about one last night at a party. A random hopeless conversation about a man some of us knew who had been arrested for this same crime. A man who reminds us with waves of sickening horror, of just how close we come to evil everyday.
We have a responsibility to make sure that our own house is in order.
To that end, I’m in the process of changing the work I do. I’ve prepared all I can, and as a break I reviewed an astrological “progress” reading I had done when I was on holidays recently. A sort of QA that my choice of paid work would ultimately inform the life I’m striving to live.
A progress report means a snapshot of where the planets are placed against the planet “baggage” we carry around in our lives from the time of our birth.
For instance, my twin and I have 5 planets in the one area of the chart – the higher mind of the 9th house – which means everything we do is to encourage consciousness, Whether it’s maintaining intellectual independence and discernment whilst managing relationships to ensure that integrity of purpose, meaning and direction.
It’s also about personal power.
Higher consciousness enables and requires not not giving power away. It also means not taking power off another.
We’re all potentially on a spiritual path; the path to being a better person. To be a better person we need to take responsibility for our own growth. We need to maintain our integrity and strength of life purpose.
If we become dissociated from that centre of truth – the thing that gives us meaning – we end up doing all sorts of things – like lying, stealing, hiding, bartering, bullying. Pretending the job we do is good enough. Or bluffing our way into a new job based on the money it offers or the sense of temporal status it afford us.
Separated from our centre we’ll fail to recognise the authentic choice. We’ll be stuck in the swing between stealing power from others or giving our own away.
That’s why some find themselves at the end of February 2010 trying to rescue people buried in the tossed up grounds of an earthquake and others loot supermarkets.
Poverty, crisis, child abuse, catastrophes are the stimulus, all we can actually control is our reaction. We can’t be sure of a when an earthquake hits, or a Tsumani results. All we can be working towards is making the world better for each of us. Safe, joyous, abundant, creative and alive by the choices we make.
I would like to honour the children who are stolen before time and those in Chile who can’t be found. And wish all of us a safe year to find out what we should and could be doing right.
