Wednesday - The Moon
Saturday’s Moon returns! What does it mean Basil? The last shadow card in the trumps returns to
tell us we are once again at the Gateless Gate.
The very last passage and it’s right before our eyes.
The moon is feminine…
That means lots of
emotions and tides… being pulled back and forth. There is swirl of illusion and deception…
This is the long
journey toward death… toward the final release.
Consider the Salmon swimming upstream toward their spawning grounds…
That bear is the
universe, and you are the fish. You must
return home, even against long odds (waterfalls, bears). You have to be creative and flexible to find
the way past that damn bear…
This is a very
solitary journey. No one can take it for
you. No one can take ANY journey for
you, but more than ever before, you are truly alone in this final test. All great people in the world traveled this path. They went against conventional wisdom, swam against the stream, faced great peril, to achieve freedom.
Consider Buddha. He left everything his entire Kingdom. He had
enough of it! It was time to get to the
bottom of things, and so he searched, finally sitting down and saying: “I ain't moving till I figure this shit out!” And
that’s what he did. He figured it out, all by himself.
Yes, I understand
this looks a little crazy. And this is
just the Thoth Tarot card of the day… but in the big picture this card really
makes sense. It’s the final test of life
to leave everyone behind, go on by yourself and trust the universe.
In Star Wars, Luke is
heading down the trench of the Death Star.
His computer is whirling telling him when to take the final shot. But he realizes that the test is to do it
without the computer. He shuts off the
computer, surrenders to the universe. He
looks crazy. Stupid. A true fool. The only who tried it this way.
But that’s the way it
works. Luke takes the shot blind… and
that’s how it has to work. You have to trust, because this life is really all
about only one thing: SEEING CLEARLY.
Seeing what is, and seeing what is not.
