ELON MUSK/TWITTER DRAMA — and more: Will tomorrow’s Full Moon offer illumination?

April 15, 2022

See this.

I can’t help but get the sense that this extraordinary power play by Elon Musk to buy Twitter may be a defining moment, not just for U.S. history, but for the millennial long history of our entire civilization. For I assume that the looming End Game, global tyranny (and WEF Great Reset), is simply not possible, if the majority of the human race actually opens to what’s really happening. That goes for info and disinfo about Ukraine; that goes for the U.S./Mexican border wide open not just to those who wish a better life, but to criminals, cartels, human and drug trafficking; that goes for raging inflation, supply chain issues and looming food shortages, hitting the remains of small businesses and the poorest people first and most; that goes for whether or not the virus is actually a venom — all of it, all of the above being skewed, by all sorts of forces, both epistemologically and ontologically, in directions we know in our hearts and souls, are downright Evil.

Re: the extraordinary Musk drama: I’ve been following at least some of the moves by various players — major stockholder nasty Prince Alaweed rejecting the offer; Vanguard buying more shares just to get more than the 10% of twitter stock Elon Musk bought a few days ago that led to the invite to join the board of twitter, topped by Musk’s last minute refusal to do so; and especially, including the damned if you do, damned if you don’t trap Musk has now handed twitter with a single seemingly off-hand tweet:

Or maybe it was a troll?

For those who don’t know what “420” signifies, here you go:

Just as marijuana users want freedom to drift in and out of this harsh world, so does every sovereign soul on earth want freedom to speak our minds.

But is Musk’s “420” reference a signal that he’s just trolling everybody here?

Trolling, with what aim in mind? Free speech? But isn’t he also the man who wants to implant “neurolink” computer chips in human brains, turning us into transhuman robots?

Personal speculation: Is Musk using this entire drama, including the contradiction at the heart of it (free will/free speech or no free will/programmed AI), to teach himself something about the human world? Which is why he seems to play both sides? More than anyone I have ever wondered about, this singular being feels to me like an extraterrestrial force of mysterious nature, who tunneled himself into this “reality” (this simulation?) to fulfill some kind of requirement for his own training.

Tucker Carlson, who is still employed by Fox News, seems to be able to speak his own mind, more and more. Is this because his platform is so big Fox can’t cancel him? Tucker claims that world’s wealthiest man Elon Musk is actually putting his entire life on the line, since his enormous ventures are entangled with governments that want to keep twitter the way it is, an enormous platform for government-ordered censorship.

True?

Tomorrow is the Full Moon in the diplomatic sign of Libra. Might both the Musk drama and many-faceted, nightmarish, near-nuclear? global hell on earth reach its tipping point then? Might polarized, warring parties begin to see themselves in each other’s shoes? Might we each recognize how we project out unconscious aspects of ourselves that we need to come into conscious relationship with in order to heal?

See Laura Bruno’s post on the Full Moon. It starts:

I ask to become an airplane that sails, high in the clear sky. I ask to begin to be able to ignore the din below, not by “getting high” on marijuana, but by centering, over and over again, within that sweet, spacious awareness of the present moment, simultaneously breathing up from Earth and down from Heaven into the wide open heart, swirling out to nourish all suffering souls,  the divine LOVE the fills and fuels the universe, no matter who we “think” we are and what “side” we “think” we’re on; yes, no matter how confounding or corrupt the confusion here below.

To aid me in this practice, I call upon generous Jupiter and empathic Neptune which, during these few days, for the first time since 1856, are conjunct in watery Pisces.

 

 

Marion Woodman: “THE SUN RISES IN THE EVENING.”

April 14, 2022

Oh my! This site went off-line yesterday just as I was composing this post on Marion Woodman (1928-2016), which frustrated me no end . . .  the uncanny resonance, and even resemblance, that I feel with her, has me utterly riveted. As if we are members of the same soul group, with similar missions, among them: 1) to continually recognize the shadow and work to integrate the opposites wherever we find them; 2) to honor our own bodies and their connection with the earth mother as locus of not just physical illness, but via illness,  great wisdom and healing (i.e., the body as basically coterminous with the unconscious); and 3) this one delighted me, as I’ve never heard anyone speak this way except me — to view embodied life as an experiment, something that I concluded when I was 24 years old.

How it happened: I had been an unusually obedient, even “saintly” Catholic girl. Then, in graduate school, after coming across Skinner’s behaviorism, I decided to do an experiment, which was to NOT attend Sunday Mass three Sundays in a row. I figured that if the “guilt” I expected to feel was simply the result of operant conditioning, then it would recede. Well, guess what? I felt not one iota of guilt after the very first Sunday! “Wow! I’ve been duped all these years into thinking that if I disobeyed I would feel guilty?” This recognition floored me: right then and there I instantly generalized: what if I viewed my entire life as an experiment? Which I have done ever since, over 55 years now.

Other uncanny similarities with Marion Woodman: 1) lack of appropriate mothering, with grave consequences later on; 1) teaching abstract concepts via stories from my own life, 2) chronological ages when big changes happened, 3) willingness to step off cliffs and trust the universe, over and over again; on and on. I won’t bother to list them all here. Suffice to say that though I never read any of Marion Woodman’s books, from my 40s on (the same age that she entered the Jungian world in Zurich), I was steeped in Jungian thought, and while living in Jackson Wyoming, I knew a local female psychologist who had attended several of Woodman’s week-long programs. Thus, even from afar I could appreciate her more grounded, embodied approach to Jung’s largely theoretical depth of focus on the personal and collective unconscious.

I was going to look at her astro chart here, but will save that for another day.

Here’s the video that held me, all the way through. Thanks to SophiaCycles on twitter.

And in case you want to get a fuller perspective on her life from someone who knew and worked with her:

By the way, nice title, eh? She uses that phrase, “The Sun rises in the evening” several times in the video lecture. Originally a Zen koan, I see it as the story of my life; so that now, in the “evening,” in my crone years, my own Sun is finally rising, shining high above nearly 80 years of continuous, what she termed, “blossoms blooming in the fire.”
