Creating Alternative Realities/New Moon Meditation

As the weekend begins, it is a week since the Hurricane arrived on the Gulf. Today also marks the New Moon at 2:45 p.m. EDT. The time just before the new moon is used to discard anything that is not serving us at this time. During the New Moon, we plant seeds of intention to bring to fruition during the next moon cycle.

Since i am hostessing Daniel's Shamanic Astrology three-day weekend, i am currently aware and attuned the the prospects of what the celestial timing means to me and the questions i have been asking. discarding what no longer serves, and asking the universe for the opportunity for new beginnings, without judgment.

On a very basic level, this can mean throwing out the old stuff in the refridgerator and going to buy new food. On a personal level, i find myself in an 'empty' place, where many of my agreements have been fulfilled and i am waiting for the universe to engage me in another 'storyline'. So, for today, i will enjoy the company people who are intelligent with cutting edge ideology and perspective.

There have been e-mails distributed with prayers for the world, and that the angelic realm would like us to listen closely today. Skeptic or not, it really does behoove me to quiet myself and listen. There is also a silent meditation retreat going on in upstate New York, i will try to attune into that for support as well.

As within so without. As above, so below.
Know thyself.
Everything in moderation, including moderation.

I would like to be open to hearing what the universe says about creating a new paradigm. i wrote about the victim/perpetrator/hero and love/lover/beloved in another essay. Today, i would like to see something else. i would like to see how i can help humanity reach another level of 'beingness'. the universe needs 'players'. i have volunteered to help. i would love to see humanity continue to evolve. Everything is connected. it is most probable that man is the newest organism on the planet and as slow learners, we can ask for another chance to grow and be closer to our ideal. This may mean receiving suggestions on how to help people through disasters, it may mean creating new communities, and it may be both of those things and more.

the seeds of new beginnings can create an opportunity for me to open up to hearing, learning and experiencing the different possibilities that arise out of my actions or indeed, inaction. J. Krishnamurti wrote an interesting book, Freedom From The Known, which i will keep in mind.
