Stay Strong #Occupyyourheart

We as a nation have been at war for almost 10 years. With times of war, our foreign policy is on the offensive to articulate our national needs and will.  Meanwhile back in the US, every individual in this country embodies the effects of the violence perpetuated to maintain US dominance over the rest of the world.  The higher up in the socio-economic strata, the more material possessions are used to guard against the personal responsibility to global humanity as a whole.  Individuals are encouraged to represent notions of superiority, happiness, and fulfillment with their consumer choices.

As the world economy continues to suffer at the hands of derivative bundling schemes that are crashing, the wealthy class scrambles that much harder to justify their lifestyles of excess in the face of economic crisis.  The ones without are experiencing trauma from desperately trying to to fulfill a broken dream in a country that isn't valuing the majority of their citizen base.

The 99% are TIRED OF BEING LEFT OUT, TIRED OF BEING USED, TIRED OF BEING USED UP AND DISCARDED AS IF NON-HUMAN. THE ECONOMIC TRAUMA OF THIS COUNTRY STOPS NOW!!!

Science Tarot Exercise

Yesterday, I read my tarot cards for myself, for the first time. This is what I did: I shuffled the Science Tarot deck, I cut the deck twice, I spread the deck. I chose three cards. I flipped over each card, right to left, looked at the image and wrote down what the image feels like. One at a time. Then looked at all the cards together and wrote down how they all made me feel. My three cards were: Supernova; Reductionism; Relativity. I wrote down a bunch of words and thoughts for each card and when I put them all together left to right it became:

Relativity, Reductionism Relativity.
Some times I feel in motion caught in balanced coordination - Seeking perspective to the context of my truth delayed the gateway to weightless transcendence, I am brought back to the basics.  Slowing my linear thinking, dry to the touch - I measure with great clarity.  This I learned: the mundane, of the world, purposeful deeds will continue with love.  Exciting, yes! Buzzing chaos!! generating warmth for the uncertain nexus.  Sensing instability, and supernova potential - Love erupts.

It feels reckless and out of control, but it won't always...

We’re driving across a bridge. Its snowing wildly. A white out of snowflakes impedes all visibility.  We’re crossing a bridge and we can barely see our hands in front of our faces.  But the driver is telling us that we can make it! We need to just trust that the driver knows how to drive in extreme weather conditions.  Extreme weather conditions can freeze blocks of ice onto your windshield wipers. When the wipers stop working, that’s your cue, as the passenger, to put your head out the window and assist the driver.  You look down ahead of the car and make sure the car stays in the lane.  Hopefully there’s not too much snow covering the paint.  Even if you can’t see the line, you can see the car tracks ahead of you and you can help the driver stay on the road.  This usually happens at the height of darkness, new moon time, but it wouldn’t matter anyway because it’s a snowstorm and clouds are covering the sky. Dark and snowy, limited visibility on a bridge, freezing cold weather and dangerous driving conditions is how it feels right now in 2011.  Its hard sitting in the backseat without all my muscles shivering to: fight off the fear of crashing; shake off the cold air streaming through the car; keep me present in the moment.  Everything that begins, also ends. It always stops snowing, and driving conditions become less hazardous.  The moon shines.  We’re not always able to realize, though, that while our head’s are sticking out of the car in the snowy night helping the driver, we’re actually just being reckless. It is ok to pull over, to wait it out, to let it snow.  It is ok to not be in control of everything.  However, it is not ok to pull over on a bridge. Thus making 2011, equally reckless and out of control.
