Episode Details

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.

~Carl Jung

Leading with affection

This article will be short, I need to take off for a few days during this wonderful Venus retrograde. We just hit the midpoint on August 13th when Venus will initiate the journey back to being a night star.

For me, this 42-day period has been and still is a chance to reflect and dive into the depths of my being. It's an opportunity to uncover the hidden treasures that define my uniqueness and creativity, allowing me to integrate them more fully.

I find myself in a profound connection with something genuinely invaluable to me: my freedom. Every facet of it, from the tangible to the intangible, the purpose of my creative expression gives me an incredible amount of joy, even when times are challenging.

The upcoming New Moon in Leo is intended to emphasize Venus' journey through an awareness of the capacities we hold as individuals to create a unique journey of creative expression, yielding and igniting inner radiance.

Between paragraphs and quotes, there are bits and pieces, connected and disconnected, making sense or not. This sense-making belongs to the eye of the beholder, for the aim of these writings is purely a reflective, personal inner dialogue that I happen to be willing to share.

Prior to the emergence of something new that could evolve into significance, a juxtaposition is often crafted.

Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change but in the dialectic between the two.

~Octavio Paz

Dialectics or Polemics?

Within the realm of metamorphosis, a captivating interplay unfolds—where juxtaposition, dialectic interrelationships, and clashes of perspectives meet. This convergence fuels the pursuit of harmonious integration, delicately attuned to the nuances of time and space.

Evolution is influenced by the environment in which it takes place. Organisms need to adapt to their surroundings and find ways to integrate new traits or structures in a way that suits the demands of their environment. These principles encapsulate the essence of epigenetics.

When humans attune themselves to the frequency or vibration of their surroundings, the evolving outcome might encompass qualities of heightened awareness.

This state of being extends to how we interact with ourselves and those nearby, as their presence can shape our behaviors and responses. We could engage in polemics, or decide on civilized ways to diverge and explore a variety of outcomes without having to unload the weapons.

In ancient Greek times, the crafts of rhetoric and polemics were used to convince audiences and dismantle opposing arguments.

-Can we as individuals immerse ourselves in the practice of dialectics, attentively embracing a range of perspectives and nurturing an environment for open dialogue?

This pathway has the potential to spark innovation, catalyzing a transformative shift that results in a harmonious realignment of all life forms.

Open emergent space gives way to creation. The Sun is our light, without its life force, we cease to be. Thus, I dedicate myself to honoring its rhythmic journey, synchronizing my inner time with the changing seasons. I enjoy Venus’remaining time in the underworld seeking a reconnection and brand new relationship to my essence, a preparation for whatever humanity requires of me as a human being, all for the greater good.

There is a time for everything,    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,    a time to plant and a time to uproot,a time to kill and a time to heal,    a time to tear down and a time to build,a time to weep and a time to laugh,    a time to mourn and a time to dance,a time to scatter stones and a time to
