Dare to Dream
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
February 20, 2008
1 Virgo 52′
Dare to dream. Dare to think your best and noblest thoughts and stand by them. Let your dream be reflected in the works of your hands and in how you do the work at hand. Let your most audacious dreams be reflected in your humblest actions.
Dare to think the thought. Dare to back it up with action.
Lately, when things irritate me, a voice tells me that I am giving those things power. I am talking about things like my health insurance going up about two-thirds, the designed-to-be-hypnotic dance of credit card offers, and the stuff they tell me I need, including insurance for when I get cancer (as if this is a certainty), and the peddling of drugs on TV that disclose they might cure me of one thing and give me cancer as a side effect.
These things I might sum up as “the system”. Nothing can be done about them. Or if something is going to be done, it is going to involve a fight that might get ugly, and I might lose where I sought to gain.
The inner voice tells me that these things do not have power over me, though they seem to. My very irritation keeps me in line, because I’m irritated and either hopeless or constantly fighting.
“Don’t be irritated. Start there,” a voice tells me. “Instead, affirm truth.” This is not a dog eat dog world, though I heard my mother say this often. This is a beneficent universe designed to bless its citizens, if only we will remember and not forget. If we only can remember that love is the rule of law, not cruelty. If I am not irritated, then I am not being controlled by external forces or events. Things may change, but I stay true to my dream–true to unchanging universal laws.
Lately the inner voice is suggesting to me that what I see as the system is in fact designed for my material aid and well-being. There is no system that is not God, no arrangement that functions independently of God, of good, unless I keep giving it the power to.
The big lie is that our world is under the rule of the cruel. It is easy for us to imagine that this is so. The truth is that the world is ruled by those who work for improvement of the lives of others. (Pluto in Capricorn sextile Sun and Vesta in Pisces.) The overall look of the world is based on our overall consensus. When enough of us change our minds and agree on the truth, we will see the true world unfold by the grace of God.
The source of the irritation is the feeling that I am bound and not free and that all around my fellow human beings are bound and not free. Losing the irritation is losing the bounds. Knowing it is I who dream the lie allows me to dream the truth, that I am free.
