Dissolving practice

The dream of the future spills lazily out of the elaborate glass vase you've made for it, and it isn't as horrifying in the moment as you would have expected. Like a slow motion explosion there's nothing to do for it anymore.

The boat comes to rest against the shore, unmoored, in the mud.

I'm handed a snake, which has another snake inside it, facing backwards. The outer snake, which is not alive, slips off easily and the inner snake is free. It's harmless for now, new and soft.

All the separations I've maintained are pooling together. I can no longer remember who was in which enclosure. In my head the blank pauses fill with rainbow oil.

Stones

Opal has ‘new’ energy. A rainbow amorphous crystal from the deep past. It magnifies emotions, it has so much water. Amorphous crystals, those without structural lattices, like obsidian, like opal, are good for unforming something that’s hardened into place. They are good for letting all the walls go. Take down the invisible walls, and open into the spaciousness.

Astrology, Tarot: Scorpio to Sagittarius

After we have taken down all the walls we didn’t need (The Tower), we can experience the void after the storm. The openness and depth after the release of emotion. It doesn’t always feel good while taking down the walls of your previous house, but when you see the space created, you can breathe again.

Then we can expand into the new spaces without limits.

We can find that the limits we had grown used to and contorted our thinking around do not really exist. The training we had submitted to is released and simply disappears. The trick is now to notice that it isn’t there, and move into those spaces. Expand where you thought you could not.

Nothing is hidden from you on purpose. Expand, and look, where you couldn’t see before for the limitations or walls.

Sometimes what you see is clearer for a moment, then less clear, then more clear. Your internal eyes are adjusting, or the conditions are calibrating around you. Seeing without certain filters is like getting new prescription glasses. You move in and out, less and more focus, more and less blurry. You start to see what you couldn’t see before when you give yourself space to adjust your lens, your mind or ability to sense what is there now.

Acoustics, meditation, floating on water

Because this is mental, or seen with imagination’s eye, and the limits and walls were patterns of thinking, this is also about brainwaves. In which states can you repattern your brain, and relax enough to see without conditioned reactions?

Yes, we’re not there yet but why wait?

Scorpio season, upcoming and already on its way, can be a time to pull down the walls and limits, to remove all that has become overgrown and overweighted. You can follow that with Sagittarius season, the opener and seer of space. The one who will go out past where the walls and limits used to be.
