Constellations

Looking up at the sky on a clear, bright night the constellations can be vividly seen. The conditions must be right for this crisp view. One must first be conscious enough to observe nature, the stars must be bright, and the sky clear. Yet the stars are there, whether or not we are able or willing to view them.

Alignments and constellations (patterns and arrangements) are the foundation of our lives, and they, like the stars, are there, regardless of our ability or willingness to view them.

We are all constructing, and at the same time contained within, a constellation of energies. These constellations are created by our relationships, our work, our thoughts, our emotions, our consciousness, our complete engagement with our interconnected world.

Our lives don't happen to us. Our souls gather what is necessary to create the conditions for a clear, crisp view of the constellation called our life. Everything there is necessary for our journey into a deeper alignment with the eternal.

How do we create the ideal conditions to view what we are in the midst of?

Individuation—the process of becoming one’s Self—is a radically different growth process when consciousness is applied. We all age and move through the stages of life according to our culture. As a collective we choose a career, marry, parent, take care of the old, and become old. An acorn becomes an oak. It is in itself the seed and the tree and the seed again. It's internal code directs it toward it's next stage of growth.

Humans too are the seed, the tree, and the seed again. This is the eternal return. A conscious individuation process allows our soul's internal code to guide us forward. Our soul's codes are archetypal, and archetypes can either act as guides and sages, or as possessors, depending on our ability to differentiate from their power.

And the energy of an archetypal alignment is a most powerful force to be honored.

Light to you all,
