for those interested in this journey
so much is happening now that I’ve chosen a while ago
[in a mercurial fashion]
to post methodically one bit at a time

we are on our last yards before the switching point
the Great Alignment .. the Shift

I’d like to speak about Mercury (again)
Mercury represents our lower mind
the mind that allows us to function on the earthly plane
the mind that facilitates our daily interactions with our environment
that forms a playful bond with our siblings
that emulates them in order to learn from each other

it feels at ease with limited forms with language speech reasoning intellect
our capacity to gather or transmit information
our capacity to gather or transmit information
it tries to understand reality it feels at ease with boundaries
with the familiar the delimited
with the familiar the delimited
it creates concepts it puts things into boxes
it seeks practical results it is a problem solver
it can be very inventive curious wandering investigative and tricky
it can be very inventive curious wandering investigative and tricky
it is smart it is knowing it is adaptable
Mercury relates to others as transmitters or receivers
Mercury is the perceiver the messenger the orator the magician the manipulator it can become a master at computing bending forms at projecting itself leaving traces patterns at storing thoughts
archiving models

it identifies easily with social codes with the notions of success and failure with the controllable
the comparable the measurable the duality
the comparable the measurable the duality
Mercury is very good at convincing itself at tricking itself at justifying
and binding us to the unnecessary
but it feels lost with the formless the boundless
it feels helpless with silence eternity infinity unity
until the day comes that Mercury reaches its own limits
as it can’t make sense of what’s happening it then stops making noise and shifts its perspective
as it can’t make sense of what’s happening it then stops making noise and shifts its perspective
it opens to a more subtle realm beyond the physical beyond polarities it becomes a vessel
for consciousness
for consciousness
and after much going in circles it finally releases control it becomes detached
it stops identifying with its perceptions or its thoughts
it stops identifying with its perceptions or its thoughts
it surrenders
and it becomes a transparent silvery vessel for the soundless
blessings to all
on this
