Happy Earth Day and a belated Happy Easter to everyone! Things are certainly returning to life in Michigan:
Whether this Earth Day finds you in the glories of Spring or the quiet rustle of Autumn, I wish you increased awareness of our Mother Earth, who nurtures and provides for us. May she know and feel our love! May she grow healthy and strong as we honor her.
Here’s another glimpse of our Kalamazoo Spring. Despite a 24-hour cold spell this Sunday into Monday morning, the blooms continue to unfurl. I am so excited to finally have ranunculus! I love these exuberant flowers but have never grown them before:
Candy tufts and daffodils:
Sometimes even my hair joins the party:
Different parts of the office get activated, like this happy bonsai …
… and 2017’s Kalamazoo Kal or one of his lookalike offspring arrived right on time:
Hopefully, this one remains on good behavior, unlike last year’s wicked smart and smell immune Wunderkind. I can handle backyard weed patrol, but I won’t plant lettuce into the front yard beds until my garlic deterrent grows larger and more fragrant.
One of the sillier and more exciting confirmations of Spring is an enlarged selection of locally available sunglasses. I love rose colored glasses on a gray day. They cut the glare without cutting the light, and they make fluorescent lights so much less obnoxious! My rectangular ones have a hairline crack in them, so I have searched high and low for a backup pair. I found these cat eye glasses on Sunday and –despite the photo’s expression — I could not be happier:
That’s my “tell the groundhog who’s boss expression” as I go on cat patrol until the neighbor’s outdoor kitty returns to remind the groundhog that dandelions are fine, but the garden is off limits. Fun times at Dra’Faven! Those rascally groundhogs are annoying, yet they provide hours of entertainment.
What signs of Spring are you observing?
Two weeks left for these April Specials. May’s will be different:
APRIL 2019 SPECIALS
20-Minute Property or Home Reading
In preparation for spring cleaning and garden season I’m bringing back the 20-Minute Property or Home Reading special. You email me an address and possibly photos of a property you rent, own or are considering purchasing or moving to, and I email you my findings and suggestions. I can focus on the overall energy, things to tweak to support life goals, and/or permaculture suggestions and resources, based on my Permaculture Design Certificate and creation of a 1/3 acre food forest.
This 20-minute email reading covers time spent reading your email, tuning in and typing up my reply. It may also be combined with a Property Clearing/Relocation Booster ($77) based on whatever I glean from the reading. $77 if prepaid on or before April 30, 2019. ($154 total if you’d like both the reading and the clearing. If you’d like 40 minutes, you can also double the email time.) Please contact me to sign up.
$555 Reiki Level 3 Master Teacher Certification Special
Every once in a great while, I feel led to offer this special. I’m taking $95 off the normal rate for in-person or correspondence/phone/distance training and certification for Reiki Level 3 Master Teacher.
This special obviously does not apply to everyone, as you will need at least Reiki Level 2 Certification from me or another Reiki Master Teacher in order to qualify for the training. I also require a casual but effective application process so that I get a sense of readiness for this next level. 555 indicates divinely guided positive change, so it seems like an appropriate number for certification to teach “divinely directed healing energy,” another definition of Reiki besides “Universal Life Force Energy.”
People considering this special might find this Reiki Master Teacher FAQ post helpful in answering common questions related to discerning your own readiness and our compatibility as teacher and student. You do not need to know for sure you’d like to teach Reiki in order to take this training. You just need to feel ready to learn Reiki from the perspective of one who could teach and who has committed to living the Reiki Principles as much as possible in your own life.
For more than 16 years, many students who already received their Reiki Level 3 training from another Reiki Master Teacher have completed their second Reiki Level 3 Master Teacher Certification with me in order to increase their confidence and knowledge before going on to teach their own students. Because many teachers don’t teach others to teach, preparing Reiki Master Teachers to teach their own students has become my specialty. I honor this training process as a sacred journey and transmission.
If you decide you’d like to apply for in-person (in Kalamazoo, MI) or long distance Reiki Level 3 Master Teacher Certification, please contact me, and we’ll start the short application process. The message to post this special was so strong this morning, that I’m excited to see who steps forward. Offer valid if prepaid on or by April 30, 2019.
Below is an updated version of a post I wrote in 2014, a time that seemed so intensely polarized. I have to laugh as I recall 2014, because the split grows wider and wider each year. Compared to today, 2014 was mellow!
I’ve received emails from some very anxious people begging me to blog about current events. I only do so when I feel led, and you won’t find me taking sides here. Some people have asked why I no longer blog directly about vaccines, BigPharma, GMO’s, and other Shadow topics. I used to, but at some point I found my blog getting censored. WordPress wouldn’t let me post if I included certain words; several search engines dropped my blog for two years. Even if I searched “Laura Bruno, Medical Intuitive,” my blog would not appear. My YouTube channel got censored into non-existence way back in 2011. I was one of the original ones booted off that platform for sharing non-mainstream, empowering information.
I consolidated five websites into this one blog. Forgoing YouTube and social media, this blog is the only online presence I now have. The risk of total censorship outweighs what I feel I can accomplish anymore by posting about certain topics. You can search the blog if you want to see what I’ve written over the years, although I removed some of that content, too. I feel like we’ve entered a new phase, where portal painting, orgone gridding, Reiki, energetic intervention and other under the radar actions produce stronger results with far less risk. And yes, more Divine Doorways and Portal Paintings are in the works. Those I’ll share. 
My own path — along with many clients and blog readers — involves embracing paradox and the integration of seeming opposites. Best of the old, best of the new: what would create healing, harmony, generous yields and soul soothing beauty? These are the questions I ask, and most public work I do occurs very much behind the scenes. I will always support free will to choose creation or destruction, realizing that many times creation follows destruction. That said, the opportunities to choose keep ramping up. In any case, here’s a post from 2014, which if anything, seems even more true today:
A Tale of Two Timelines:
I know it has become rather vogue to declare that “we’re all on one timeline now” because “we’re all one;” however, from my vantage point, this world continues to polarize in ever more dramatic ways. Clients, friends, family members, people I know through community volunteering — lately everyone seems to be receiving a mega-phoned, “Are you sure?!”
Revelations of betrayals have become so absurdly obvious that the levels of denial now required to ignore them truly boggle both mind and heart. Personal relationships reveal evidence of in-your-face double lives and months or years of deliberate, calculated lies. Companies that have demanded loyalty from good employees reveal themselves as totalitarian versions of the same old, same old, regardless of lip service to their “different way of doing business.” BigPharma and BigTech apply even more tyrannical pressure, and political hypocrisy now rivals theater of the absurd.
Yet somehow, even amidst revelations that have grown surreal in magnitude, some people continue to live in complete denial of the importance and responsibility of choosing something better. This choice hasn’t yet affected everyone; I’m not talking about people who are truly too busy to look at anything beyond their own three jobs to put food on the table. I’m talking about otherwise intelligent, reasonably capable and conscious people who’ve had their worldview rocked by what would be a rude awakening, if only that awakening occurred. It’s quite shocking how deep the Pollyanna programming can go, and meanwhile, their world creeps or runs ever closer to tyranny and dystopia.
This theme of betrayal is on the upswing. As Mark Twain said, “It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” Betrayal not only hurts our hearts; it hurts our pride. It begs questions like “How could I have been so stupid?” or “How could I have missed those signs?” It takes courage to answer those questions as real ones rather than rhetorical invitations to self pity and the downward spiral. Approaching betrayal as an opportunity to learn what went awry and how — and as an invitation to troubleshoot for a preferred future — also requires swallowing some humble pie. But the question of “getting one’s just desserts” has become so very urgent in our times!
When the Universe approaches you with a neon lighted, mega-phoned, smack upside the head, “Are you sure?!” please carefully consider your answer. The “elite” psychopaths running rough shod over our planet do engage in their own bizarre code of honor, which requires people give them permission to proceed with their diabolical plans. Through leaks, Hollywood films, best selling novels, symbolic actions, or direct quotes of elected officials, these “elites” broadcast their intentions. Similarly, everyday, run of the mill sociopaths, philanderers, thieves and cheats drop clues via behavior, Freudian slips, circumstantial evidence or those mysterious “can’t put my finger on it” triggers that unsettle our stomach, ring all the anxiety alarm bells, and put our intuition on hyperalert. If we feel ourselves saying and feeling, “Something’s just not right about this,” but we refuse to investigate and discover what isn’t right, then by the psycho’s code of “honor,” we become fair game. They’ve duly warned us; our taking and acting upon the warning is our responsibility, not theirs.
I don’t know how this experiment called 21st century planet Earth will play out. All I can do is observe and extrapolate, but what I see happening worldwide is a sharpening of the divide between realities, not the blending of everything together into what I call the New Age Borg.
Some people — quite a high percentage in my sphere of influence — continue to experience incredible breakthroughs and freedom in areas that previously refused to budge, sometimes for decades. Those who make something of the breakthrough go on to experience exponentially faster and more powerful breakthroughs. By contrast, those who refuse to use the original breaking through of information as a catalyst to major change, become even more committed to the controllers’ trajectory of totalitarian dystopia and a drugged, brainwashed, Pollyanna populous to slave away on behalf of the self proclaimed elite. They continue to excuse those who reject the Golden Rule, and they continue to wonder why life keeps throwing drama at them. What they conveniently edit from their awareness is the reality of that blaring question: “Are you sure?!”
I don’t know when or if the deadline will arrive for making such decisions, but the frequency and intensity of that question seems to indicate that it will, and soon. What kind of world do you wish to live in, and what illusions are you willing to give up in order to embody it? Are you willing to transmute the increased effort it takes to continue lying to yourself and instead turn such efforts into creating a better life and world? Effort is effort. One type of effort maintains dissatisfaction and gives permission for misery and tyranny; the other effort actually generates new worlds and allows you to create a real version of your imagined potential.
A Tale of Two Timelines: which will it be? The choice — and the responsibility — are yours.

I’ve heard from several people who missed the live A Fireside Chat with Zany Mystic and me this past Saturday. Lance White sent me the link for anyone who wants to listen to the replay.
As usual, the hour flew by! We talked about permaculture, gardening, art, synchronicity, cultivating beauty, healing, spiritual initiation, and the power of creativity. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.

Spring has almost sprung in Kalamazoo! We’ve got Glories of the Snow and wild violets blooming today, with the earliest daffodils and hyacinths getting ready.
These seem all the more cheerful and amazing in contrast to our visit to still frozen Lake Michigan on Saturday:
I love these in between weeks when we can have sunshine and 60’s followed by snow flurries. How do you experience contrast? I find it invigorating!
One of my tasks as a medical intuitive healer is to first identify and then clear the beliefs that hold you back from an open-hearted experience of life. When you consider that heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, you have to wonder if poor diet and lack of exercise are the only […]

Just a quick reminder and links: this Saturday, April 6th, I return to A Fireside Chat with Zany Mystic. Lance White (Zany) and I always enjoy our conversations and look forward to discussing current energy archetypes, Faerie, and various esoteric topics TBD. We go with the flow!
Here’s the link to my guest bio.
Here’s the link to A Fireside Chat with Zany Mystic. We’ll be on Station 1 of BBS Radio at 7 p.m. Pacific/10 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, April 6. If you can’t listen live, you should also be able to find an archive on this page once they get it up. I hope you can join us live. We’re excited to see what comes through!
Here’s a different type of post from Timothy Glenn. It can appeal to artists and scientists alike, and it provides effective ways to hack your own inner programming. Tim’s article came through via email just after I posted yesterday’s Dolores Cannon video. As synchronicity would have it, they go well together like theory and technique.
Superconscious Technique
Sometimes we dust off an old book and reread it, discovering that it now offers a whole new experience. Sometimes we pull an old technique out of our memory banks, and find it works more effectively than ever. Such has been the case with the Superconscious Technique.
I initially encountered the Superconscious Technique back in the early 90’s through a group called Extraterrestrial Earth Mission. A lot of us adopted it, and then adapted it to suit ourselves. After retrieving it from the halls of memory a few months ago, I reworked it yet again to fit the current reality.
This is not presented here as though it were carved in stone, as if reality were a “one size fits all” proposition. Since we are an evolving species, it helps if our modalities evolve with us. You may find that some of the wording doesn’t quite work for you, but can be edited as you see fit.
The Superconscious
Even this term could be changed to accommodate your current picture of reality. Your Superconscious can be understood as the specific expression of your Spirit that creates your human reality, right at the point where your Universal Consciousness begins to express Itself as the human you now perceive yourself to be.
The term Superconscious has been interpreted in various other ways, and perhaps you would even prefer to rename the technique itself. Whatever.
In this technique, we address the Superconscious, which supercedes all of our conscious claptrap and subconscious programming. You might envision the subconscious as our installed software, and the unconscious as our Matrix hard drive. The part of us that is eminently qualified to alter these levels of our human reality is the Superconscious.
Optional Number Codes
In the mid 90’s Proterrian channelings, we were encouraged to employ number codes drawn from our names, preferably the full name at birth. This personalizes the practice for enhanced effectiveness. The numbers are taken from the old Pythagorean Soul’s Dream process, based on the birth name.
We start with the Access Code, which is derived from our initials, using the full numerical value determined by where each letter stands in the alphabet. For example, my initials of TJG are T=20, J=10 and G=7. This gives me an Access Code of 37.
Then we take the last letters of each name for the Activation Code. Just a cute little aside here: back in the early 90’s, a mathematician took my numerology course, and asked what we call these. I said we didn’t have a name for them. He said, “You have to have a name. I’ll have one for you next week.” And he did, so now we have our initials and our finishals.
My finishals are Y=25, N=14 and N=14. So the Activation Code is 53.
For the Manifestation Code, simply add the numbers for the Access Code and Activation Code. In this example, the Manifestation Code is 90.
When including these number codes in the practice, it feels more powerful to say right out loud: “Access Code thirty-seven.” And so forth.
Setting the Stage
You might wish to arrange your environment and create an atmosphere. Anything that helps you feel centered, balanced and empowered will enhance your experience. If you want to recruit the support of crystals or other tools, go for it.
Since our Matrix programming is exactly that, it tends to require plenty of repetition to deprogram and reprogram. This isn’t about waving a magic wand and doing an instant presto change-o. This is most effective as a practice. Fortunately, it doesn’t require a lot of time. And most of all, throwing your heart into the practice helps more than all else combined.
Since you are an evolving entity, you can experiment with any part of the process. Those of you who learned this back in the old days will recognize key words and phrases, as well as notice modifications.
The template that follows will present the current wording in quotation marks, and suggested insertions in brackets.
The Technique
[Access Code]
“Superconscious, in a state of Divine Grace, let’s manifest the highest possibilities of me now [insert intention here] so that the full power of this can and will be made completely manifest here and now in my experience as the [insert name here] entity. So be it.”
[Sample intention: completely transcending all conscious, subconscious and unconscious programming that fails to support my Ascension into Infinite Creatorship…]
[Activation Code]
“Bring it! And manifest in me an ever-expanding capacity to accept, assimilate and utilize all of this as swiftly, as smoothly and as gracefully as possible. So be it now.”
[Manifestation Code]
“And so it is. And so it will be through all Eternity, now and forever more, life everlasting in the flow of infinite love, wisdom and power.”
[It is recommended that we conclude the technique with an expression of sincere gratitude.]
A Big Thank You
The practice can be done silently or aloud, with tools or without. It can be done seated, reclining or standing – stationary or moving.
It has felt most effective by getting centered while standing, facing east and holding a specific crystal in each hand. Then I face the south for the Access Code portion, west for the Activation Code, and north for the Manifestation Code. Gestures and movements are common and usually spontaneous.
My favorite regular practice is Wuji Gong, the basic form of the Emei Qi Gong system. The form ends by bowing and saying, “Xie, Xie, Zhong Shi,” which simply says thank you (in Chinese) to the earthly teachers. This is followed by bowing and saying, “Xie, Xie, Lao Shi,” which says thank you to the universal teachers.
For my closing expression of gratitude, I love to bow and thank the earthly teachers while still facing northward. Then I turn to the east and conclude by thanking the universal teachers. At the end, you can inhale fully and slowly through your nose, and then relax into however you happen to assimilate the energy shift in that moment.
What you do with the Superconscious Technique (if anything) remains for you to choose.

For some reason, I felt led to find and then post this Dolores Cannon video. I’m sure it will speak to some of you, reaffirming little whispers and longings of the soul. This is not a new or unique message, but it remains an important one!
Happy April Fool’s Day! Despite today’s date, these are the real April 2019 specials.
Also, heads up that I’ll be on “A Fireside Chat with Zany Mystic” this coming Saturday, April 6th at 7 p.m. Pacific/10 p.m. Eastern U.S. time. I always enjoy talking with Lance White (aka Zany Mystic). We’re never quite sure what will come up, but likely topics include Black Moon Lilith, faeries, devas, tuning into the Otherworld and other practical/mystical topics. I’ll provide the link and reminder closer to Saturday — just wanted to let you know about the live show.

Another new article from Timothy Glenn! In his email to me, Tim notes, “2020 is going to be Global Metamorphosis on steroids, so there might be more than one update of this series during that year.” Meanwhile, 2019 promises to be quite the wild and revelatory ride. Here’s Tim with some cosmic perspective on human evolution and the New Earth:
Global Metamorphosis 2019 Update
The Global Metamorphosis articles focus on Pluto’s 16 year journey through Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, emphasizing two of the main facets of this phenomenon:
Removing and replacing structures of the old world control grid in all areas, including (but not limited to) Government, Economy, Academia, Religion and Science.
Bringing to light, facing and dealing with the reality of everything that has been deep, dark, hidden and secret for millenia (thus allowing the old control structures to remain operative).
Saturn to the Rescue
From the original 2008 Global Metamorphosis article:
“Again seeing Pluto wearing the hard hat, it will help if we understand that the entire old system has to come tumbling down; the religions, the governments, and even the economy. Perhaps the prospect frightens most folks, but the old world must make room for the New Earth. Period.”
Our contemporary prophets of doom suggest that Pluto will have to destroy all existing structures before any restoration can even begin. They paint a rather grim picture for the transition. To some degree, this might have been the case if Saturn had not entered Capricorn at the end of 2017.
Unlike Pluto, Saturn is willing to do remodeling jobs. Saturn wants everything to work efficiently and maintain optimum functionality. While Saturn can get picky about results and seem overly demanding, quality is what matters.
In our Global Metamorphosis, Saturn is currently transiting through its own sign of Capricorn, and is working diligently to phase in many of the new (or merely transitional) structures before the corresponding features of the old system have completely collapsed. Unbridled mayhem is not the name of Saturn’s game.
Saturn’s modus operandi involves patiently playing the long game; trust the plan. Saturn oversees our quality control department, and flitting about willy-nilly doing haphazard work never assures quality.
A quantum leap in evolution will not be facilitated by half-assed, slipshod applications of obsolete methodologies. Saturn in Capricorn is making the necessary adjustments, heedless of the pissing and moaning from those who think that if it was good enough for the dinosaurs, it’s good enough for us.
As Above, So Below
The expunging and restructuring is also taking place in the personal lives of everyone living within this biosphere. So far as any of us know, there haven’t been any exemptions granted.
For any species to achieve a quantum leap, there must be individuals within that species who devote themselves to the process. The first requisite would be a willingness to let go of all patterning associated with the old ways of perceiving, thinking, feeling and acting.
Albert Einstein and others have emphasized that we cannot solve our problems at the same level of thinking we used when we created them. A more expansive state of consciousness must be reached before the quantum leap can burst into reality.
Step 1: Relax into a state of neutrality.
Step 2: Render all the external rubbish completely irrelevant.
Step 3: Allow yourself to accept this beautiful state of transcendence that has been right here inside you the whole time.
Homo Something-or-Other
We have categorized ourselves as homo sapiens because we think we’re smart. Some have taken on the more pretentious label homo sapiens sapiens because they think we’re really smart. Perhaps their next step is to declare us to be homo sapiens sapiens sapiens, because we’ve become really really smart, and really really know how to trash a planet.
Some in the scientific community (the homo sapiens sapiens crowd) have been referring to our next level as homo superior. Oh, please. Why not just go for homo super sapiens sapiens sapiens sapiens?
In the metaphysical community, we hear terms like homo galacticus or homo spiritus. A personal favorite since the mid 90’s has been homo luminens. When that one started spreading around, it also morphed into homo luminous.
Rather than fussing over what to call the next level, let’s take the leap to that new level. Maybe then we can decide what to call ourselves, if it even matters then.
But first, Pluto has to finish bulldozing the control structures of the “old guard”. Their death grip on our world has already been broken, the tide has turned, their resistance continues to weaken, and before long we will see the mopping-up operation begin.
Systematic Unveiling
If the Whole Truth were simply dumped on our heads all at once, too many people would short circuit. Those who call for Full Disclosure might pause for a moment and consider that incremental revelation will achieve the desired results more effectively than blasting people’s illusions into an unconscious oblivion. Ultimately, the choice to know will be yours.
For the average Earthling, the unveiling of this planet’s Reality still might pose too great a leap. But let’s leave the doors of possibility open. Maybe the sleepers in our midst can pleasantly surprise us; or not.
The most important part of the Global Metamorphosis is the shift from the fear-based old world into the love-based New Earth. And that starts within the hearts of each of us as individuals.

Four days left! (April will have different specials.)
This month’s specials reflect increased attention and interaction with the Soul. They can be done individually or combined for extra insight and depth. The natal chart reveals many indicators about previous lifetimes, while a past life reading gives details and story line. I find both astrological and past life factors contribute to health, financial and relationship challenges and success. Understanding background influences frees you to live much more in the present moment, living the life your soul most longs to live.
MARCH 2019 SPECIALS
40-Minute Astrology Special
$133 instead of the usual $177, this 40-Minute Astrology Special can address “why you’re here,” deep soul longings, how to bring more soul into the workplace or your relationship, and/or how your natal chart and transits may be affecting your health or finances. More importantly, the reading offers clues to maximize your own unique Soul’s process, so that you get the most growth…

Today’s post comes from friend, permaculture village pioneer and astrology mentor, Ann Kreilkamp. I’m sharing it because these themes have often surfaced during this week’s sessions and personal interactions. Combined with other planetary energies, this extra Neptune/Mercury influence can feel spacey and out of it … or it can lead you to expressing big dreams. Are they really so fanciful? Allow yourself some quiet time to journal, paint, and creatively express those dreams.
You might also find new perspectives on older intentions. Have some of your dreams already come true in ways you didn’t recognize before? Here’s Ann with much more:
Ann Kreilkamp ~ Mercury Conjuncts Neptune in Pisces: SO WHAT IS REAL?
On Monday last, when I was preparing a post on the then upcoming Spring Equinox plus Full Moon, I also looked at other configurations in the Equinox and Full Moon charts, paying attention to aspect patterns which were exact or within one degree of exactness. Thus, one of them, Neptune conjunct Mercury, escaped my view, since it was only within two degrees of exactness.
Nevertheless, as I realize now, that aspect was of tremendous importance for especially the next two weeks, since Mercury then at 18°59 Rx, stops, turns and goes forward during this time, all the while remaining within close orb of a conjunction to Neptune.
That I framed my inquiry to just include aspects within 1° of exactness is a good example of how our conceptual frames dictate just what realities we are going to find. We see what we are looking for! Which is why I always say that no map, no matter how precise or immensely framed can adequately cover (and therefore, predict and control) the territory we call “reality,” which itself is infinitely small and large, so that any single infinitesimal point, when focused upon, expands to become an infinite space.
This way of talking is “Neptunian,” recognizing the inherent mystery that we call (even 3D!) “reality,” and that the religion of science (scientism) foolishly pretends to be able to comprehend.
Meanwhile, back to the current Mercury/Neptune conjunction. This aspect will continue within 2° of exactness through April 6th. And, the day that it turns to go direct, March 28, it does so at 16°06 Pisces, exactly conjunct Neptune at 16°56 Pisces. In other words, the conjunction is moving closer and closer day by day until March 28, when it turns to equally gradually move out of exact conjunction.
So if you feel as if you’re immersed in the dreamtime, despite your best efforts to ignite springtime Aries action during these weeks, don’t be surprised.
In the screenshot slice I took from the Equinox chart above, I included the Saturn/Pluto/South Node conjunct, since Saturn at 19°14 Capricorn closely sextiles Mercury/Neptune within 3 degrees. Saturn, the planet of discipline, form, focus, will help us to flip out of the dreamtime when necessary; however since both Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces are in their own signs, they are both very powerful; there is bound to be a tug-of-war, no matter how “harmonious,” between the intention to focus and the tendency to space out — and, with Mercury involved, to be able to talk about it, think about it, wonder about it . . . but perhaps in a somewhat garbled manner (Neptune)!
Which brings me to a selection from an A.K. Reader post on Neptune that, I’d say, pretty well describes what has happened to us since Neptune went into Pisces, a recognition that no matter what we think we know, we probably don’t know anything about what’s really going on, given the panorama of conflicting, agenda-ridden perspectives ratcheting up with fake news.
I wrote that post in 2011, in preparation for Neptune’s entrance into Pisces in 2012. Neptune will remain in its own sign until 2026.
Excerpt:
I have a sense that as we move more deeply into Neptune in Pisces, especially starting next year when Neptune slips imperceptibly and subtly into that ocean where it feels most at home for 14 long years, that we will become more and more rabid on this subject of needing to come down one way or another: “reality” or “illusion.”
We need to know! There’s got to be something solid to stand on in an ever-shifting world!
But what if there isn’t? And what if it doesn’t matter? What if energy crystallizes and dissolves into and out of form endlessly, creatively, spontaneously, with no breaks, no clear demarcations, and no end? What if even names become useless?
I predict that, by that end of those 14 years, we will have come to a radically new understanding of both reality and illusion.
After all, what is “reality v. illusion” but yet one more 3-D duality, and as such just another illusion that keeps this (so-called) reality afloat?
The entire debate reminds me of the final question during my infamous oral examination for the doctorate, back in 1973. The dear old professor who agreed to be my second reader after all the others had refused (the dissertation, titled “This Is Not A Book about Wittgenstein,” had become a political hot potato), asked: “Well then, since you think that there is a fine line between fiction and fact, give us an example.”
“Just yesterday,” I responded, “my six-year old son Colin said to me, ‘Mommy, which is more real, my dreams or yesterday?’”
That was it. I was dismissed after only 20 minutes of what was supposed to have been a two-hour exam.
My response embarrassed the professors. But which is more real? And what does real mean?
Happy Spring Equinox to those in the Northern Hemisphere! (And Happy Fall Equinox to my Southern readers.)
I’ve been meaning to post a recap of our March 7-11, 2019 trip to San Antonio, but between Mercury Retrograde and Uranus moving into Taurus, life keeps redirecting me. Despite “delays,” large and little sync winks confirm the perfect timing of everything. As giant snowflakes fall outside my windows right now, my San Antonio photos will give a much better taste of Spring.
Another sync wink occurred on March 5, just as I finished selecting clothes to pack. For context, on Valentine’s Day, I decided to read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings —back to back– with no other books or coursework in between. I finished The Hobbit in about a week, but I am still reading LOTR! Depending on the edition, that’s around a 1,200 page book, so this next part seemed significant. Just before David pulled into our driveway on March 5, I reached this part of LOTR on my Kindle:
I read this on the fifth of March, right before a seeming mishap occurred. The astounding sync wink in a 1,200 page book made me laugh and provided immediate perspective that all was in Divine and perfect order. As predicted, the mishap turned out be no big deal, especially for the chaotic energies of that day. This synchronicity set the tone for our entire trip to San Antonio, which went smoothly, despite Mercury Rx, Uranus zippy zaps, and perfect timing “delays.”
David needed to go to San Antonio for work training the following week, and we took advantage of a company paid flight for him with me tagging along. His daughter Allie lives in nearby Austin. We planned for Friday in Austin and a weekend in San Antonio with Allie and boyfriend Matt. Such fun! I’m not going to write a full account of our trip, but we enjoyed some amazing vegan food in both cities. Big synchronicities continued to pop through along the way.
On Thursday, March 7, Tania Marie and I began texting back and forth. David was driving us to a mission I learned about long ago in the movie “Still Breathing,” — one of my favorite love stories with themes of creativity, dreams and synchronicities. As soon as Tania’s reply came through, we drove past Nestors:
Nestor, aka “Nestie,” was Tania’s twin soul bunny who expanded way beyond body back eleven years ago. She still comes through at key moments, especially for Tania. When David and I arrived, the tourist part of Mission San Jose had already closed for the day, but I noticed these cuties at the foot of St. Francis:
Tania’s beloved tortoise Gaia and rabbits Joy and Cosmo, all no longer her in physical form. The bunny looks more like Joy, but Cosmo had more white fur. I sent both photos to Tania, knowing they were messages for her. The animal messages from beyond continued on Saturday, when our parking garage looked out on “MAVERICK,” the dearly departed dog of another friend of mine. I sent her the photo, and sure enough, she had just asked for a sign from him:
We happened to visit both Austin and San Antonio on their busiest tourist weekends ever, so our trip involved a lot of waiting. Waiting for tables, waiting for tours, waiting for a light show, needing to loop back to places we just missed: yet everything felt so in tune that we didn’t mind.
Here are some photos from Mission San Jose, which we got back to on Saturday morning before Allie and Matt joined us in San Antonio:
Above and close-up below, you can see the famous “Rose Window,” a great love story enfolded into a the love story of “Still Breathing,” which takes place in Los Angeles and San Antonio:
We sat in the cathedral before heading to San Antonio’s Riverwalk:
This gardener loved all the tropical plants and waterfalls.
Besides just visiting with each other, we each chose the Riverwalk Architectural Boat Tour as the favorite part of our trip.
We remembered the Alamo and paid our respects, but opted not to wait in the massive line for a tour. Instead, we hung out with the Live Oak. This historic tree is so massive, I could not fit much of it into photos. No picture does it justice anyway. If you ever visit the Alamo, be sure to pay your respects to the Live Oak. It feels like a tree from Middle Earth:
We browsed a huge crystal selection downtown, then had dinner and browsed more in the quaint Pearl District. Of course, this gardener marveled at the size of the publicly planted chard. Maybe everything is bigger in Texas!
Same general area after sunset:
San Antonio has gorgeous architecture! Even just walking or sitting outside brings a feel of history and charm. Good thing we didn’t mind sitting outside, because our one activity planned to occur at a specific time … did not occur. At 8:30 p.m., we Uber’d our way to San Fernando Cathedral, which David and I had walked to earlier that morning. The famous Cathedral Light Show runs every night at 9:00, 9:30 and 10:00 p.m. We got there early in anticipation. This was Saturday, March 9 — a fact that becomes important in just a bit.
We waited and waited and then Matt noticed some statues across the street. Since not many people filled the plaza, we figured we had time to check them out. The first grouping showed “The Founders.”
“56 Canary Islanders founded a village, ‘San Fernando de Béjar,’ after arriving March 9, 1731.
“They walked nearly 1,200 miles from Veracruz, with children, livestock and all their worldly possessions, for more than six months after a previous six month journey across the ocean in a small wooden vessel.
“Sent by Spanish King Felipe V, to found the first official civil government in the province of Texas, they were greeted by a Franciscan friar, soldiers from Presidio de Béjar, and indigenous people of the nearby missions.
“Today, the village is the city of San Antonio.”
Matt noticed the date first. “March 9th! What are the odds?!”
I then told Allie and Matt about the March 5th LOTR synchronicity. As I type this up, I notice even more synchronicities: 1,200 pages, 1,200 miles. Both stories tell of a year long journey …
We returned to San Fernando Cathedral just as an evening service let out, and lots more people gathered for the 9:00 show. Minutes ticked by, as we all enjoyed the warm evening air. A half hour went by. No show. Allie and Matt checked their phones and saw that the first show was cancelled but the others would occur on time. 9:30 came and went. We laughed and visited, the weather so pleasant that everyone in the crowd talked and laughed.
Allie started playing a visual/mind game on her phone, which she and Matt had plateau’d on for months. As we sat and chatted, we all watched her play and somehow, she broke through! Months of trying and just sitting there with us marveling at her skill, she leapt to long awaited the next level. We all cheered as 10:00 came and went. No light show, but all the colors, forms and celebration of Allie’s game filled us with delight. The unexpected breakthrough while waiting seemed so symbolic. Very Uranus in Taurus.
The next day brought more schedule shifts, delays, good conversation and perfect timing. In the bigger picture, everything always aligns. Here we all are at the top of the Tower of the America’s looking over San Antonio:
This long post gives a tiny glimpse of pervasive synchronicities and blessings in disguise. So lovely to visit with Allie in Matt where Spring had already sprung, and a Michigan visit will feel mighty nice for them come Summer.
Whatever season you find yourself in now, I wish you well. May those touches of the Divine, what I call sync winks, fill your life with peace and wonder. Happy Spring, Blessed Be … and be the blessing!
I just got back late last night from a three and a half day writing retreat where I completed the rough draft for my ninth book. This book, which I am declining to name at the moment, had been wrangling with me for over a year now. I must have asked guidance 100 times, “Are […]
