This month's reading is emphasizing our ability to see things for how they truly are by seeing with the heart. In the past incarnational cycles, humans were often blinded by their desires for life to be a certain way. Now we are learning that desire is not enough to take one into God's new kingdom; it is important but must be complemented with the aspect of knowing and seeing objectively, without the bias of our personal lens. Subjectivity and objectivity are a vital complementarity that cannot be broken apart without ensuing distortions. Too much subjectivity leads to overidentification with our separate ego and distances us from the everlasting wisdom of God; too much objectivity leads to negating our sovereign sense of being which also distances us from God, because without a unique identity there is no way to come into relationship with our Creator. Basically, the mind is meant to be unified with the heart for the deep awareness of Spirit to be born.
The mystic has synthesized both of these aspects and can thus read the subjective signs and symbols of life through the One mind of God. We are being shown currently how this archetype of the Priestess is connected to that of the Lovers; we cannot make a real soul choice and hear the call of our heart (versus making lower choices, driven by fragmented desires) without the mystic vision. Creation from the lower vantage point will naturally result in lesser realities rather than that which anchors in the trajectory of the divine plan. But of course every experience is a step on our path and can be seen as an initiation for our soul when there is a realization of how we have been sidetracked momentarily.
We are asked at this time to become much more attentive to our surroundings and our inner state, for spiritual warfare and trickery always has its entrance point when we take our focus away from our own here and now to absorb ourselves in the inconsequential distractions of the matrix. Know your baseline vibration and take note of when something disturbs that, understand why and try to return to your natural state-- through silent meditation and disconnection from chaos, or through joyful creative practices that get you back into the body and out of the churning mind. It is also important to see why we have this susceptibility in our mind and body in terms of past traumas and experiences and work to heal them-- so we can return to the zero point, original template of our spirit being.
Spiritual warfare starts on the individual level through the thoughts that convince us they're our own. When it becomes truly difficult, we can pray and ask for the protection of God's love, to stay within the great cosmic heart at all times. Grounding and connecting to nature is also, as always, essential for staying in the natural rhythms of divine design and distancing ourselves from the manipulative structures which exist not just in cities but anywhere through a being who is not doing the work to unhook themselves from enslavement dynamics.
It's about no longer giving our life force, our energy, to these things and being able to distinguish between the tricksters and the true forces of Light and Truth. As we get more and more squeezed between the two paradigms, the absolute faith in God grows. When we learn to be inconstant communion with the Divine, we know when to move, when to rest, and how to weave seamlessly through the tricks and traps. Flexibility and a willingness to play and create are what will purify us from the forces of control who want us to be only in our minds, judging and analyzing experience rather than living in it fully. The present moment is where the alchemy can occur between spirit and form. To be caught up in mental projections takes us away from this living process of merging light and shadow. It's time to surrender to this.
Surrendering doesn't mean we have no will of our own but just that we connect this will to what God is really asking of us and gain the humility to release those fantasies which don't serve life, to be content with the simple and graceful way of living, our natural potential. By becoming committed to spiritual alchemical marriage, we can plunge into the depths and see reality without getting shaken up by the profundity of truth revealed. It is the loyalty to the Heart of Christ.
