A NEW ANARCHIST MOVEMENT is forming. The crimes they push against are so unspeakable, so urgent, that the cleverest, most media-grabbing protest sign would only defile and spit upon their cause. Impossible to co-opt and more frightening than the Black Bloc, these protesters do something far worse than destroy physical property; they deface the [...]

DO YOU BELIEVE IN ASTROLOGY? Careful how you answer: It’s a trick question — the sound of a disorientation-phobic mind attempting to induct you into its tidy, dualistic paradigm. My answer? “About as much as I believe in Hunter.” Why must The Mystery be so mercilessly and mechanically nailed down? Because ego feels so desperately [...] THE ONLY healthy reason to peer at personalities through the lens of the astrological archetypes is that, upon doing so, we happen to find ourselves more compassionately attuned to their style of awakening– more able to hear and skillfully respond to their muted cries for love. Thankfully, as so many structures and paradigms topple [...] PERHAPS THE SEARCH for a compatible partner is akin to the search for enlightenment: the most we can do is make ourselves vulnerable to its grace through regular, heartfelt witnessing of our otherwise excruciatingly automated body/mind (a.ka. meditation).

To him, your best chance at tuning into the mystery [...] MOST PEOPLE think astrology is a way of languaging the infinite shades and textures of personality. Astrology subdivides — and thereby makes more “real” — the illusion of separation. Astrodharma takes a different approach. There are only two shades of personality: the self-liberating hues, spontaneously dissolving themselves into love, and the dense, hard-edged hues, [...] IT’S HARD TO LET GO of duality. Our ego doesn’t know who it would be without its judgments. Critiquing gives us coordinates. It also keeps us numb to our true nature. Judgment is simply a form of self-forgetting and it happens mostly in the mirror of our fellow mortals. Need a way to track your [...] RECENTLY, I FOUND myself pacing inside a prison cell. Penned in by a grid of creepy world trajectories, all personal and planetary options looked bleak. Day after apocalyptic day, my automated Moon in Sagittarius would swing between preachy panic and adventure-junkie distraction. There was no way out and no way I was going to stop [...] |
