PHASE 278 (CAPRICORN 08°): IN A SUN-LIT HOME DOMESTICATED BIRDS SING JOYOUSLY.

KEYNOTE: The wholesome happiness which subservience to the ideals and patterns of a well-established culture brings to those who accept them unreservedly.

In various ways this section of the cyclic process brings to us images glorifying the power and benefits which a steady and well-integrated society brings to its members. Saturn rules Capricorn; Saturn was the ruler of the Golden Age before he became a symbol of binding limitations. He who accepts willingly or—even better—takes for granted the value of these limitations can lead a serene and happy existence, whatever his social status.

The third stage of this five-fold sequence suggests to us how we can enjoy our life condition by allowing the spiritual values it embodies to fill our consciousness. In every condition provided by a healthy culture—which hardly refers to our present chaotic world!—human beings can find ENJOYMENT in the roles they are born to play.

Girlcapsule's Response:

Möglichkeit, meaning "possibility"

I had a moment of resistance at the concept of willing subservience. Isn't that strange? I realized almost in the same moment that the Utopia I so ferociously am pulling toward myself with all my heart's confusion would require exactly this of me: willing subservience, or acknowledgement of the often debilitating limits of my comprehension and understanding.

One thing I am becoming persuaded of,  is the importance of trusting my own judgment, and especially increasing awareness within myself of what is really coming through me. I can feel such terror when I perceive the world through the lens of evolutionary cosmology. We are a failed species and we're taking down a lot of really beautifully evolved others in our terrifying descent.

Then I feel some deeper wondering come up within myself that causes me to feel that in a world where the capacity of conscious embodiment has extended itself to me in this homosapien-sapien/human body form, I feel I can trust that wisdom to catch up with me in appropriate measures, or that some aspect of me (as I am relatively related to you and yours,) will be able to retract back a bit—back to some other experience of being.

What I am persuaded of, in any case, is that with each act and in each moment that we find to add our prayers into the wish-list mix, we can draw towards our collective self the kind of world that will blow our minds with all its creative ways of saving our collective ass and growing us into something more attuned and refined in purpose. This will look differently for each of us as the wisdom of our respective emergent lineage will rise up through us. The generations to come will draw it out, and with a snap`crackling-pop we will find the world still holding us and asking us to add in the learning of our own experience by living into it.
