HAVE YOU NOTICED how every Aries head falls, without a trace, into its Pisces footprint? Yet, every day in the mirror, something untouched by time documents this collapse with absolute serenity. This timeless seer is who we truly are. I like to call it, “eternity-with-eyes.”
Exotic? Hardly. In an act of profound, pedestrian grace, we flicker effortlessly in and out of this “divine stare” all day, every day. The purpose of life: to make lucid, prolong and stabilize this unsavored seeing of our deathless being.
Why does life feel so absurd and pointless? Simple: Because we’re aborting our sacred curiosity:
How does eternity-with-eyes walk, talk, love, work?
On the surface this might sound like a rather whimsical way of moving through space, and – to the soul – it is. To the ego, however, it’s terrifying. Why? Because, by giving us a glimpse of life free from time and self-concept, the burden of the separate self is, by contrast, seen to be what it really is: depressing, heavy and intolerable. In short, this kind of practice exposes ego’s true feelings about itself:
This “blip with a lip” we call “me” is depressed by the belief in its own existence and until we meditatively mend the sharp cut of space with the One Being, we will continue numbing ourselves with gadgets and greed until we grind everything into dust.
Enter Chiron, the “wounded healer,” transformed on February 18th into the “wounded warrior.” For the last nine years, world events indirectly prodded us to feel and release our pain; for the next eight years, they shove it in our face.
Think of it this way:
Chiron in Pisces (2010-2019) is best personified by a brooding, empathic Nicholas Cage administering drugs to manage our pain as we slowly heal.
Chiron in Aries (2019- 2027), on the other hand, is best personified by the tough, chiseled face of Clint Eastwood (ruling planet in Aries) who, after lancing our festering wound of me-stories, tosses us a piece of wood to bite down on as he douses it with whisky.
“Chiron Clint’s” approach to the dharma? This:
1) Who are you?
Spiritual Ego:
God’s being is our being.
Chiron Clint:
Yea, yea, and so what? God needs hurtable human eye contact to establish His church down here on earth and that will require full-bodied confession and healthy regret. Prepare for more whiskey!
2) What kills soulful communion?
Spiritual ego:
The unfelt dirtiness of our me-story posturing.
Chiron Clint:
Nice try, clever coward! Stop talking about it and allow the lifetimes of built-up “self-betrayal shame” to wash over you! Prepare to bite down, even harder.
3) What is ego?
Spiritual Ego:
Ego is an Atheist guru, endlessly chanting in our subconscious, “No one directs the universe; No one directs the universe.”
Chiron Clint:
Sorry kiddo, dead wrong- not to mention pitifully intellectual. Ego is the refusal to feel the sorrow that comes with realizing that everything we previously took to be lasting and real is actually just about to disappear- and it never even existed in the first place. Bite down on that one, Mr. Mind, and the whiskey stops flowing, once and for all.
