I am sure that many of you have noticed a certain degree of irritation, a level of futility and/or frustration probably not seen in a while. Well, for those who've been keeping up with the astrological configurations, the reason for the frustrations experienced by many, are plain and simple. Some of our most powerful planets out there are in aspects that one may consider "Argumentative". So, just in a nutshell, Saturn is getting ready to go direct, Pluto is also involved, and Uranus is bouncing around having unexpected effects on both of those guys, of which Jupiter is involved blowing things out of proportion.

It is been said, of these planets, Saturn can be considered the taskmaster; Pluto has a do with the change of consciousness from one to another. When Pluto is affecting an individual and/or society, change will occur. Uranus can be the planet of surprises. Jupiter is the planet of expansion. Just for definition here, when a planet, like Saturn, is retrograde, anything associated with things that need to be completed are likely to be reviewed and/or repeated. When Pluto is affecting things, the desire to move forward is very strong, yet the requirements set by Saturn must be examined, causing delay in the forward motion / movement desired.

So, if you noticed that there is a great temptation to blow things out of proportion, feeling the need to move forward, but feel like you have or you’ve got a 800 pound gorilla hanging on your shirttails, and, you're finding things are coming out of "left field", do not worry, for you’re not alone. You may have, also, noticed an increase in erratic behavior, leading you to come to the conclusion that many of our more stable and presumably well grounded individuals are starting to lose it.

Despite all this craziness, there is some relief this round the corner. At the end of this month, Saturn is going direct. That is the equivalent of removing the eight hundred pound gorilla from your back.

Now, while it has never been the policy of this work to attribute all of our frustration and/or delays directly to some planet in bad aspect one to another, we cannot in all fairness, deny the realities observed, where the astrological conditions in the skies can, and do have a direct effect on things here on earth.

There is another aspect of this that must also be considered. We have freedom of choice.

When we are presented with a challenge, we can choose to act and/or react. For example, if we're under these aforementioned aspects, desiring to move forward with Pluto's influence, but being held back by Saturn, recognizing that Uranus is bouncing things all of the place, and with Jupiter blowing things out of proportion, we can decide not to directly interact with those influences. You see, the key here is; while there is a great propensity to get frustrated and angry in face of these delays and/or anomalies, we can recognize things as they are, and choose not to react, but, rather, act when we find it beneficial for our purposes.

While we all are under different aspects of the above conditions, there is another thing that we can do to help not only in our situation, but those of others.

·         When erratic behavior or stupidity is observed, be kind. Do not ask the question, "How can they be so stupid?" But, rather, realize that the answer is quite simple. Their right, or stupidity, is guaranteed by the right of genius. I may be wrong here, but if memory serves me, I believe it was Albert Einstein who stated, "The distance between stupidity and genius is one thought".

·         Do not use erratic or stupid behavior to make assumptions. Before going further, for purposes of this work the definition of assumption is a conclusion based upon incomplete and/or incorrect information. Therefore, one should always be suspicious of any assumption, by yourself or anyone else. Take the time, if you would, to trash all opinions based upon assumptions, and redefine those opinions and/or realizations by determining their validity through the process of provable test and/or observations.

·         Do not fall into the trap of belief, for belief is a byproduct of assumption. Rather, it would be better to examine the information presented. Then, upon such an examination, if the information is valid, you can then say, "I know these things to be true; because I have tested these personally, and have validated their properties and/or conditions". This is also known as the Gnosis, and/or the Gnostic Way.

There been times when people have asked the question, what is the nature of transcendence?

Transcendence is a process and/or policy where you give attention to those things, based not upon a reactive nature, but, rather, based upon determining the time which you wish to act.

Well, many times we have found that our emotions may cause us to react immediately to a situation, we may have also determined, after the fact, that the course of action may not have been beneficial.

This is where transcendence comes into play. The primary purpose is to recognize the conditions existing prior to (take out comma) responding, and/or taking any action that may have the possibility of emotionality.

If you do find yourself in a difficult situation, where you are tempted to react harshly to something of an emotional nature, it would be a good idea to "stand down", examining the information, and choosing not to react at that time, but, rather, resolve to re-examine the information, and/or stimuli at another time, when you're less likely to react harshly.

The spiritual process can be a very difficult process, if we're unwilling to give up those judgments and beliefs that do not serve the angelic characteristics of human beings. It is those very characteristics that become a thorn in our side, prompting us to move forward towards a manifestation of those very angelic characteristics evident in every human being out there.

Even though we may be in great difficulty, others can have convinced us that we are without value. It is likely due to environment and/or beliefs determined by such environment, (societal, religious, and/or family dysfunction).  Yet, each individual has those angelic characteristics within them.

In closing, let us consider these characteristics that are the core of our existence: Love, Understanding, Compassion, and Honesty, Honor, and Humility. If you can conceive of these conditions, and/or definitions, then we have just proven the fact that these characteristics exist within you, also. For that which is not part of yourself, cannot be realized. Therefore, whether you like it or not, you are a carrier of light.

Again, you may complain, protest, have multiple level temper tantrums, or destroy computer hardware. It matters not. You ARE a carrier of Light.

Peace,
