Saturn square Pluto

Saturn is Square Pluto: Only discipline and intense focus will help to transcend insecurity and illusion!

With this aspect, it is likely that you will feel quite restricted by social and environmental constraints, and that the influence of the society in which you live will have considerable impact upon your life, often appearing to be a negative one.

Frustration appears to be inevitable; and you may feel that you are having to carry 'a burden for society', where you are involved in some way with a personal responsibility for some of society's troubles. This could be a form of work which takes you into problem areas, or even a sense of inner attunement to the suffering of the world. There is a form of linking between your personal unfoldment and growth and the struggles of mass humanity, one which you may experience or interpret in a peculiarly masochistic manner, or use as an excuse for personal failings.

Some of this tendency could arise from earlier life and parental relationships and conditioning, possibly from environmental deprivation of lack of fulfilling and meaningful contact with your parents and family. This can lead to a pattern of personal disappointments and lack of essential trust in life and the world, leaving you emotionally marked and feeling insecure in your own abilities and talents. You may feel 'hard done by', and feel envious of others who appear to be enjoying life and succeeding; there can be a 'chip on your shoulder' and a corrosive inner bitterness affecting your basic attitude.

When you do make extra efforts to make progress towards your aims, you often feel that you are being strangely hindered by events, people and circumstances which arise to frustrate, divert and block your attempts. Even though it may not appear so, this is likely to be the result in the outer world of inner projections, where through your own attitudes of defeatism and fear of success you trigger a reaction in the world to oppose you. You can create your own failure without consciously realising it.

You tend to be searching for status, power and the opportunity to influence people's lives, much in the same way that you feel your own life has been affected by nameless unknown others who make socially influential decisions. There is an element of wanting to dominate within you, possibly to 'get your own back' through blaming others for any problems that you have had.

To transform this oppressive pattern of limitation, you will need to radically alter your outlook on life and your self. The Pluto energy will help you to achieve this; and the first step is to draw back all the projections that you are overlaying on the world, and to recognise those that place the reason for failure 'out there'. You need to accept responsibility for your own life, decisions and choives, and begin to take control instead of being a frustrated, passive reactor.

Many have transcended difficult environmental barriers through assertiveness and effort of will, succeeding in breaking limitations and creating a life that satisfies them; and you need not be the exception to this possibility: the solution lies in your own psyche. Chooise to change, observe the repetitive patterns of excuses and lack of commitment to succeed, and then override them through discipline and concentrated will. You are that 'mysterious barrier' opposing your own efforts; release the negativity that you cling to, and it will seem that a new world will open up for you, where you can begin to make progress, a world where more light can penetrate and illuminate the darkness. Remember, it is your own choice to remake your own life.

I Stand in the Kingdom

Why am I so happy?

Because I stand in the Kingdom.

I don't have the money,

But I stand in the Kingdom.

There is darkness within me,

But I stand in the Kingdom.

I don't have all the answers,

But I stand in the Kingdom.

The beast runs amok in the world,

Still I stand in the Kingdom.

People are starving,

Suffering,

Weeping for the touch of spirit;

And I weep FOR them,

Because, they stand in the Kingdom, just like me,

They just don't know it.

Someone was born today;

I stand in the Kingdom.

Someone died today;

I still stand in the Kingdom.

The people's pain reverberates in me,

And their pain is being used to eat our beautiful planet alive.

If they only knew.

If I could only tell them:

"YOU STAND IN THE KINGDOM!

YOU STAND IN THE KINGDOM!

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE,

WHERE YOU ARE,

OR HOW YOU ARE,

YOU STAND IN THE KINGDOM!

A KINGDOM WITH NO BORDERS, BOUNDARIES, OR LIMITATIONS;

A KINGDOM IN WHICH NOTHING IS UNTOUCHED:

YOUR HANDS ARE THE KINGDOM.

YOUR EYES ARE THE KINGDOM.

YOUR ORGANS ARE THE KINGDOM.

YOUR EMOTIONS ARE THE KINGDOM.

YOUR THOUGHTS ARE THE KINGDOM.

SO, NOT ONLY DO YOU STAND IN THE KINGDOM,

IT STANDS IN YOU!!!"


I would go on and on,

But nothing and no one can teach them to see this;

To see this foundational truth that

We all stand in the Kingdom of the CREATOR,

So that makes this a paradise.

The Kingdom of the CREATOR stands in us,

And that makes us royalty.

I had a very powerful dream this morning. I dreamt that I was a young man, son of an African Queen (It felt like Egypt). There was news that her baby was gone. The feeling was that it had been kidnapped. I ran amongst the female messengers to the Queen, and once she was told, she began to take the many-colored jewels around her neck and seemingly begun to try to choke or hang herself. I cried out "No, no" but it turned out the Queen was not doing so. She was simply taking off her jewels and dropping them to the ground. They partially shattered upon impact. Then she began to wail, and all the female advisors followed suit. I was caught in the emotional of pure pain, grief, and loss as women began to chant a hymn in another language with a beautiful melody. I felt so connected to all who were weeping, and even in the midst of sorrow, my heart opened so much. I woke up from the dream crying.

What does this dream mean? I think it was a past life, something/someone I felt I'd lost--my younger sibling.

Crazy!

WHO IS SATAN?

Why is this a subject for me? Because I have experienced a slice of a new level of awareness in which I sense in my being, beyond mental babble, that all is illusion.

Using my mind to dissect this feeling further, I see that the being known as Satan, Maya, The Devil, and other various names is simply a master of illusion. He knows that life is but a dream at a deep level, and uses this knowledge to manipulate the ignorant into creating hellish realities for him. He will use any tactic to get his prey to believe that this is all real, and that they are powerless against him.

However, since Satan is master of illusion, nothing could be further from the truth. He is, in fact, infintely WEAK. Why? Because like all things, Satan is an expression of the Creator, but because Satan thinks himself the enemy of the Creator, it is safe to assume that he HATES the Creator within himself. In hating himself, he denies his true divine power, and because he is so polarized in his hate, he becomes completely powerless. Nevertheless he retains his knowledge of the nature of reaity, and understanding it is completely fake, he seeks out those with tremendous creative potential, and plots to make them ignorant of how existence really works, if they are not already.

To make powerful creators ignorant, Satan must implant a special tool: fear. Fear is as illusory as the Devil himself. It is the false premise or excuse that something is more powerful than you, and thusly you must give you power to it. The irony is that Satan is POWERLESS! And when you give your power to him, that is the only power he has. But Satan is also a magician. He pulls those sleight-of-hand tricks all the time to get you to give him your creative power--the very same power that he has denied within himself.

But why does Satan feel the need to manipulate? Satan is but a step away from creating his own paradise as a fully-realized Divine Being. BUT. Satan himself is AFRAID of this state of awareness. Yes, he has fear. He fears he will not exist, because, of all his wealth of knowledge into the workings of reality, he firmly believes in separation. He wants to always exist as he is, and not to merge into BEING that he TRULY is. He also thinks he doesn't deserve this awareness, though he's way too proud to admit it. So he takes his own fear of true realization and implants it into beings that are less knowlegable than he. If the beings are not AWARE, they can be easily deceived, and Satan has the go-ahead to create hell whereever he 'goes'.

Of all these things I have told you, this last point will shock you: SATAN IS US. How could anything else be true? How would he know what to tempt you with? How would he know your weaknesses, your fears? Does he have spies in the spiritual realm sneaking in on the distortions of your soul? I say no. He IS you, and you ARE he. Satan, in the respect I am writing about, IS THE ILLUSION FEAR, the mechanism that fools you into giving up your power. (Giving up power is another illusion because the power is always yours, you are just made to believe it is not.)

This post reminds me of a story I read about the Buddha a while back. One day, the Buddha was meditating under a tree, when Maya, the master of illusion (another satan figure) attacked him. Maya created a barrage of 'missiles' to destroy the Buddha. The Buddha knew this attack was false, so, unmoved by this display, placed his hand onto the grassy earth. Upon doing so, all the missles became beautiful flowers.

Because Buddha understood Maya's nature, because he had mastered himself, he had mastered Maya. Maya/Satan is part of us all, and will use any tactic to keep us in illusion. However, if we remain steadfast in who we really are, and intimately understand our patterns that don't serve us, we will see Satan for who he really is, and alchemically transform him into light that DOES serve us on our path to know ourSelves better.

Do not fight Satan. Fighting Satan means you have already made up in your mind that he is an opponent to be fought, and this very thought ALONE gives him power. Keep your power which has never left you. FOCUS! Focus on who you are: the good and the bad--judge neither. Even when the times get rough, and it seems the illusion is looming over you, ready to consume you, remember who you are. Remember the unspoken. Remember the Source--remember the TRUEST TRUTH of all things, and you can whether the storm; you will transcend all lies.

ISDIIY,
