July Newsletter from Thrive by Design - 2015





Greetings Thrive Tribe.

 And so the Winter Solstice is over and Winter begins its slow retreat as Helios returns to us all. It is fascinating how all religious ceremony is built upon this cornerstone of reality, that we all need the Sun and without it there is no life – pure and simple – and how those who worshipped the Goddess – the primal feminine – the great and fruitful magnetic void – from which all creation flows – understood this so completely.
 
Of the 30 odd [some of them very odd lol] myths and legends of the risen sun god [the Sun returning to the world after appearing to die for three days at the winter solstice] who was born of the virgin [the constellation of Virgo which is apparent at this time] - that have arisen since the patriarchy and its madness of the rape and butchery of the planet and all life upon it that is not rich, old, fat, white and male lol – none has brought quite so much evil to the world as catholicism – and even that now is falling asunder as more and more abuse, corruption and scandal are exposed and as the current pope is abandoning his attachment to the institution and throws out doctrine as nonsense and denies war mongers the right to call themselves Christian. My sense is that he may will be the last pope by the way so it is good that he is a man of good heart attempting to expose them for what they are – a blot on the landscape of humanity.


 
The world as we know it will change dramatically soon – according to the travellers – in April next year it will begin with a vengeance – however the mutable cross this September is going to bring some wild winds of change also - the iconic institutions of corruption and greed will be seen to finally fall.

 Banks – who constantly create ever more debt [56 trillion and counting] to make more money off the interest and whom then look to [and receive from their toadys in government] the tax payer to bail them out – will collapse completely. The whole Greek debacle is bank created debt - them not taking any responsibility for that and expecting greek pensioners to bail them out while they keep their preposterous salaries and life style. 


 
Big pharma and their pimps in the medical profession, will be exposed by a scandal that is going to shake all faith in any institution from that time on - will be shown to have deliberately been poisoning the whole human population to create life long clients of ill health - through a vaccination system that has never been tested on humans and upon which not a single efficacy trial has been published in over 50 years. And that is just for starters. Interesting to see the vice president of Pfizer come out this week blowing the whistle on their reprehensible behaviour. 

The giant conglomerations of food poisoning in agribusiness and processed food will be exposed also. Monsanto is a truly evil organisation and the number of members of that group holding positions of high authority in the american government and that are in on debates on the TTP and TISA agreements - that basically turn the globe into a feeding frenzy for the corporations with no restrictions. It is powerful to see European states and Russia ban their products as unfit for human consumption. 



All religions on the planet will be exposed for the patriarchal nonsense that they are – the travellers assure me that Mohamed was a woman by the way and simply had all the material stolen by a man [it certainly explains why the males of that belief structure insist the women walk around either in a sack cloth and ashes or stay home completely out of sight – imagine the terror they must feel - innately knowing the truth lol] – from Buddhism to Judaism and all shades of new and old in between – all patriarchal nonsense – designed to keep women down and to rob the poor and keep themselves in power – to steal this life from all - on the promise of vestal virgins or harps and clouds in the next lol.
 
And governments will also been seen for what they are – compliant toady’s of the corporations and banks – the latter day sheriffs of Nottingham – and shall equally be consigned to the dustbin where they have belonged for a long time – they have almost completely destroyed our ability to live on this planet.

The planet will survive us fleas upon her back – this is the 6th mass extinction that has unfolded that us mere mortals can hazard a guess at [my sense is many more] and we have created this one with our wanton destruction of habitat.
 


 And the habitat is starting to bite back peeps. Again the most stable prediction for the ice returning seems to be from Nasa and other like minded sites – which predict December 2017 will see the ice come in a vicious winter [and one only has to watch the winters getting madly worse each year in the north] and then simply not retreat in spring.

From there it is predicted to march inexorably across Europe and north america and the suggestion is it may last for around 40 years [a mini one indeed] based on where we are on the elliptical orbit around the sun and predicted sun spot activity during that time. It may or may not be compounded by seismic or volcanic activity contributing to the nuclear winter scenario and anything is possible there with the nutbags in Alaska and here in pine gap, playing with scalar wave and HAARP technology on the planet - like it is their little toy!
 
Gender issues are front and centre again – violence towards women is on the rise, as the great feminine rises in all – terrifying men in particular – the projected rage at that internal reality is being played out on the female of the species externally in the world. Racism – that blot on the landscape that is inevitable when the world as we know it is built on white supremacy [which in and of itself is built on the back of the patriarchy] – has really begun to bite again as people say enough and no more!!

This applies to the whole 99% of humanity that is not the elite that has pillaged for far too long upon this world. The pitchforks are coming peeps – as they invariably do in the human condition – when people cannot be pushed any longer. And yet in truth this is not the answer – it just creates more of the same.
 
The only answer to this madness is unconditional love – for the perpetrator, victim and witness. It is the one weapon that humanity has that the system cannot do anything about. This headless beast that has become the post modern world feeds on fear and control – remove fear from the equation and you are free. Love unconditionally all things you encounter – no matter what the disguise [for in truth it is only an aspect of yourself you are yet to own and love lol] and the system loses all power over you.
 
And this is a difficult ask – because we have all been conditioned since childhood to loathe aspects of ourselves as unacceptable, wrong, incompetent, lacking in value and worth, inadequate etc. And once we loathe those aspects of self – we will see them constantly reflected in the world as they try to get our attention in order to heal. What ever it is you are most afraid of in this life – whether you are a racist, a homophobe or whether you despise men or women, smart people or dumb people – you are simply playing out the script and the parts of self you have rejected are trying to come home – so learn to love all aspects of yourself and it is much easier to love all aspects of the world in which you find yourself – in all its glorious diversity!



 
The point is when it all starts to go down [ and we are certainly seeing it all move in that direction now ] it will be important to just stay calm. What ever is going on around you it is not going to be helped – in the slightest – by you having a grand drama about the future and what might unfold.

Just be still and take care of those around you – be kind – to all – stay zen – for all – and the world and your community will be better for that rather than running around like a chook with its head cut off lol.
 
So with the normal summoning that occurs at the winter solstice celebrations and being mindful of what I have called for – it is now time for me to go within for what is left of winter – to simply spend time with me and my inner landscape.

Something I have been promising myself – or threatening myself with – for a long time. Busyness has been one of my prime distractions [right up there with be strong and perfectionism – both ridiculous and very common and all based on some neurotic belief that who we are is not enough] from myself and the inner work and while I have none the less overcome this regularly to do the work – it is always with snippets here and there.

This next three months is with not much else but myself as I prepare for what ever comes on that last blood moon in September.
 
I have already observed with some amusement the number of times I go to do something on social media – or watch the news – or look for other ways to distract myself and while that is already lessening – I am still slightly agitated with – look, over there lol. A more steady voice responds with – move along – nothing to see here. It is less of a distraction than I would have thought though and I was surprised how quickly it is falling away – I feel like I am on the edge of an abyss – and it feels kind of good lol. Who knows what winter will bring. A deep journey of some kind beckons is all I know.


 
It was lovely recently catch up with Tra-ill in Melbourne and to hear his supervisor in his 2nd PhD – Dr Cornel West – give a wonderful talk on the inherent evils of racism and any other kind of “ism” for that matter – and to hear on that same day that Tra-ill’s thesis has been accepted without reservation by both examiners at Princeton and Melbourne universities. They also gave a glowing report on his thinking and how it can return western philosophy to its roots – which rather than examining the meaning of life from on high – that his thinking creates arcs of meaning that the works of Adorno, Ponty and Heidegger point to but are here in taken further – and can provide a vehicle where the possibility of working with that meaning – through human suffering – can provide a possibility of transcending that suffering. Wonderful stuff – and none of us who know him are surprised – but I am personally utterly delighted to see him reach this space – and now to watch where he takes it from here lol.
 
And Dr West also reiterated that love is the only answer – not one minute would he waste on hate – but his compassion was infinite. So be loving peeps – be kind – to yourself first and foremost – and then out into the world. Delete your negative mindset – and be ruthlessly disciplined with this – it is just an old loop tape running and it is not even yours – just the voices of your caregivers [who were equally - if nor more so screwed over] and a society that needs slaves and unhappy ones at that – to function in keeping the elite in power.
 
There have been some changes in our household also – Old Vajra – the Tibetan trained monk – has finally found his place in the hills to live and now returns here just to run the meditations twice a week on Sundays at 9.30 am and Tuesday evenings at 7pm.
He has been superseded in the house by the gorgeous Nasrin – an Iranian refugee who followed a tortuous path to arrive in this country – went through – in some ways – the worst of it – at the hands of our government – in terms of not knowing what is coming and having absolutely no power to determine it – which she assures me was truly the most demoralising aspect of all her journey – including the escapes, the violence – all of it. And after sharing the house with a couple of blokes for so long – it is truly delightful to have a clean freak, fabulous vego cook, utterly delightful woman back in the house lol. She has totally re-organised the kitchen [for the better lol] – has scrubbed and cleaned corners I have barely had time to glance at – she is doing her degree in environmental sustainability and so is a quiet pottering human like the rest of us.

We have had the company of her equally delightful son Pouria – who made the journey with her – and is studying madly for his second year exams in engineering – and it is quieter to do that here rather in his house full of lads lol. What a rich blessing they are to this mad country of ours and yes we still have a lot of growing up to do to be able to welcome such formidable travellers with open arms in the future. They both do lots of walking and running also so Loki is in malamute heaven at the moment getting heaps of attention and walks.
 
I find it hard to imagine what it must be like to leave all family and connections behind and come to a strange country with different language, cultures, ways of being. It was telling last night when a few of the grandkids slept over – Nasrin was saying how nice it was to see children again – to see them as part of a normal life – happy and having fun – that it was good for her and her son. It nearly broke my heart to hear her say it and I have no comprehension of the pain they have endured and continue to do so - but while here we will do what we can to eliminate it from their systems – a small thing to do – to say welcome and that you matter just as much as everyone else.
 



 
We have had our second weaving circle – to while away the winter – there is truly great magic in this by the way – real magic – that we are going to learn all about as we relearn the crafts of our great grandmothers and make healing quilts and other goodies. 

It is truly a wonderful thing to sit in a circle of women sewing, knitting, basket weaving while we learn about how to do this from Vicki - quilt maker of excellence. 
 
I think I may have bitten off more than is simple in the design of my circle but if we knew then ....... 
I could have said the same thing about businesses I started - but where is the fun and growth in that and each step has prepared me for the ultimate goal in the Diamond Heart Academy - festering and percolating along lol x 





The Diamond Heart Academy 
 
The Diamond Heart Academy will offer, over time, and present, many tried and true, valued and trusted ancient systems of learning for training and education for the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual well being and evolution of all who attend.

The purpose of the Academy is to bring that which has been hidden but maintained, in terms of education and training, over countless centuries into the 21st century.

Whilst under an umbrella of very real sacred and practical exercises that have been proven to bring forth the connected best of all who participate, there will unfold a series of exacting and methodical fields of study that will approach the human in its care from every level.

The correct approach to this will facilitate an academy of learning that will not only bring out the best in the students that attend – it will also facilitate these same students in moving beyond the teachings into their own creative endeavours that will in turn feed back into the hermeneutic of the perfect unfolding spiral of human genesis in and of the mirror of the Dharmakaya.

As the foundation is created in the mold of what is possible in perfection within the diamond consciousness and mind - what can unfold is a vehicle of transformation and transmutation in which all desires and passions of the human egoic state can be forged and directed into a gestalt that is much larger than the sum of its parts.

This will incorporate real magic and alchemical tools from the ancient blood rites and proven masteries of energetic reality to enhance all education, training and work that will flow from the academy.

The philosophy and mission of this Academy flows from a committed and motivated desire for a better world for ourselves, our children and grandchildren and for all life that dwells on this planet and beyond.

The workings of the Academy will be to move beyond the current outmoded forms of education that are filled with blockages to the energetic systems in order to hold an empire in place, into a new free flowing energetic system in which there are no limitations to what can be manifested - outside of the limitations of our own imaginations.

The duality of this consciousness and its judgments about what is good or bad or right or wrong will be superseded within the Academy, to facilitate a free flowing of energetic reality beyond such mundane concerns; and the denial of powerful energy such judgments create within each individual attempting to grow and evolve. As this is achieved for each student then the chaotic turbulence of thwarted energetic fields may begin to flow in a coherent fashion as a powerful river that will facilitate much that is beyond visibility at this point.

Every step of this foundation and building of the Academy will be guided by meditations within the Vajrasattva principles of existence to ensure that all builders and facilitators may not get lost within their own egoic desires and thus can continue to work for the group mind for the betterment of all that lives.

This will be critical due to the countless incarnations of all of us in the individual need and greed training that has beset this planet during the last Yuga that is critical to overcome.

The alchemical education and training provided by the Academy in its wisdom and potential - will indeed bring the real magical and mystical path into being - in which we are all connected to the diamond light and power within the inner planes of our existence – this then being the blue print for what we bring forth into the world.
What can be harvested or brought into fruition from this is indeed magical and will result in things at this point beyond comprehension.

As we gather with one thinking heart and one feeling mind so then shall we open the doors to other realms and dimensions, through which will come profound teachings and guidance facilitating a loving and compassionate form to arise.

The SambhogaKaya and the NirmhaKaya – the perfecting Yoga reality shall unfold, bringing into being an academy built on impeccable integrity and trust.

Built on the Elemental considerations of Alchemy and its practice, this will incorporate an innate insight and understanding and training -



In the principles of Earth – in which the extension of form is through which a being occupies space.



Through the principle of Water – which is the cohesion or the glue which holds it all together.



Through the principle of Fire – the dharma of energy exchange – a combustion in which the full range of temperatures facilitates different realities.



Through the principle of Air – which through the process of vibrating the periodic cycling facilitates movement of all things.
And this all falls into space and cosmos which includes relativity and spatial relationships.

The principles that will be brought to light and life through the Academy apply and are found in all life, in all forms - and it is for the betterment of all that lives that the Academy will be formed and maintained. 

While it is early days yet and we are still receiving, downloading and cncoding the lessons from the Vajra Universes and many other helpers besides - it begins this year - and the first programmes on offer are the "Meditation with the Masters" and the "Circle of Love" for the children - both starting this month and the details of which are in the Whats Coming Up section below.  It will also be behind the "Conscious Parenting" webinar series on offer soon. 


 

 Simone Douglas at Social Media AOK continues to provide excellent programmes in all platforms of social media - both in setting it up for your company and managing it - and in training your staff to maximise the fastest growing sales strategy in the business now. 

The Business Review Weekly said that social media is growing sales in business at a rate of 20% compared to mainstream media sales growing it at 1.4 to 1.9% per annum. Its a no brainer really so check them out!! 
  


Simone is running once a month Mentoring groups all of this year in which you get an opportunity to really maximise and understand all the social media platforms out there - and to make them work for you - this is a wonderful programme in which through out your time in the group you will learn many skills - not just in social media - but in how to manage your business well - the cycles and ebb and flow of all modern business and how to navigate through them. 

I am very impressed with what I am learning here and strongly recommend you sign up for one of her programmes - they are truly worth their weight in gold 

Follow the link to contact her and make an expression of interest. They are amazing - follow this link for more information - info@socialmediaaok.con.au




The Conscious Parenting Webinar Programme  is still being revamped as we keep coming up with improved ideas for the programme and at this stage we are looking somewhere in the spring to kick off and there will be details about that in next months newsletter - the programme is being fully revamped to make it more interactive and to facilitate more activity based learning for children from all areas of life - especially the new kids on the block who society as a whole seems to struggle with - so imaging what it is like from their end as they choose not to be put in the same little box as the rest of us lol.

This will continue as a webinar programme as again we realise the very busy lives young parents lead and the difficulty in getting child care to come to a class - this way it can be done from home over one evening a week and all attending get to keep a permanent copy of the course for their own future review etc.

This Programme will also in future be run through the Diamond Heart Academy due to many of the changes unfolding within it. 




What's Coming Up


The Diamond Heart Academy and Thrive by Design are delighted to present:


A direct channeled meditation by the entity known as St Germaine - greatly evolved these days - as everything in the cosmos is expanding and changing. 

"The Vajra Violet Flame" - by Vajra St Germain



I have been working with this energy pretty well daily for over a year now and it has led to the most wonderful changes in my life - and I am very grateful to Lama Vajra who shares this abode and his ever present willingness to be available to channel these remarkable energies who are here to help us make the transition. 

Through this entity - known as St Germaine - although they are all evolving now - I have met a cosmological pantheon of energies - from those involved in the crafting of the blueprint of our existence and creating the simulation of Earth, to those who have assisted over the aeons of our known and predominately unknown history. 

I have met dark and primordial forces through this - and learned much about our nature and the nature of the cosmos we inhabit. I have locked horns with them occasionally and their patient good humour with my human foibles and fantasies, combined with their consistent, unfailing loving presence in my life has changed me in ways I cannot begin to explain. 

So it is my great pleasure and privilege to offer you a remarkable CD - the real deal - that is accompanied by a booklet of ancient chants and mantras for clearing the samskaras - or emotional wounds from countless lifetimes and this one. 


Ihttp://thrivebydesign.com.au/?p=11043

Follow the link to purchase directly this amazing transformative CD - that opens the door to the inner planes of existence and takes you on a journey to your own Divine Sacred Mystery - this is an opportunity to set your self free from life time patterns of blocked creativity and freedom. An opportunity to change the way you relate to the world. It will be posted within 24 hours.

MEDITATION WITH THE MASTERS -

a profound meditative experience with beings from alternate realities. 


http://thrivebydesign.com.au/?p=11016

Sundays at 9.30 am

Tuesday every week at 7pm


 

contact Prue on 0419819089 to book a place x
 

New time table for these mind blowing sessions with the Channeled Masters from the Vajrayana - check them out - come once and experience what it is to know true peace - come again and awaken from the slumber of your mortal existence lol

 

The meditations are deepening and expanding at each turn now and people come back from them - just going WOW lol - what was that - no point in asking - we are being prepared is all lol - fabulous!!
 

These powerful meditations are unfolding beautifully and each session we are being taken deeply into the centre of being where powerful lessons about the nature of reality and consciousness are imparted on many levels.

diamond heart academy

Yes we hear the words however they are heard on all levels of being - emotionally, psychologically, physically and spiritually.

They are heard in all three minds - conscious, sub conscious and super conscious.

arcturian 5

The physiological sensations that unfold through the meditations are extraordinary - and are described by all in varying degrees that attend. Suffice it to say one drops into a place of vast peace and awareness that nothing in my life, in all the transpersonal and shamanic work that I have done over 30 odd [some of them very lol] years has ever brought me close to.

We are being educated about and released from the Samskaras or emotional scarring that brings us again and again back to an old pattern of relating in the world.

We are brought to the Tree of Life - in front of the river - to become the tree - the focus and awareness that allows for the vipassana to arise within the space of one session.

sep diamond 3

We are brought to the Zero point of the breath and of the heart beat of existence - the perfect point of balance from which all movement occurs - ancient chants accompany this which we are assured have not been heard since the days of Gautama Buddha - and the effect of them is whole of being and extraordinary.

We are taken on journey work to the vast realms, universes, galaxies and systems of worlds that exist within this fathom long body and whom have no idea that they are being carried around inside an entity - any more than we comprehend that we are but a cell of a world of a system of worlds and galaxy and universe that is being carried around in another being and on ever outwards lol. There is such a profound peace that comes with this awareness of reality.

We are shown the madness of the mind - driven quite insane by the overload of responsibility forced upon it when humanity chose not to listen to the Logica [rather than just the logic] and demanded the poor simple mind - a beautiful tool designed to create the reality of existence in matter - to do this without guidance from the inner planes - and you only need to look around to see the chaos and disorder and dysfunction that this has produced.

aya chod3

We are taught how to awaken the diamond heart and diamond mind and how to dwell therein - certain breathing techniques that absolve pain - for perpetrator and victim for there is indeed no separation.

We are taught how to create the over-mind for travel on the inner planes and how to navigate them - we are shown remarkable discrepancies in what is possible and what we have been allowed to access and how to bridge the gap.

We are taught amazing alchemical practices that change the nature of things - the crucible of creation and what it really is - and what the flame really is - and the mandala palace of the body and its vast possibilities - and we encounter beings and energies that are here to help us make the transition but whom have no vested interest in whether we choose to awaken with the planet or not - those choices and consequences are ours and ours alone lol.

dependent originaton

 

We are learning what the divine source is and is not - with many amazing surprises about that along the way lol.

And most sublime of all we are learning about freedom - what that really means and the responsibility that goes with it.

aya workshop 7

These mediations now have a new time table. 

 

Every Tuesday evening at 7 pm 

 

Every Sunday morning at 9.30 am
 

If you wish to attend and experience these amazing possibilities of awakening and growth - contact

Testimonials

"My daughter - 
enjoyed this beautiful 4 day retreat. I found her to be more confident,  balanced/grounded and less sensitive.  She was excited to go every day and loved to discuss the things she was learning and creating while there, acting, painting, sculting. The guidence she was given during the activities has taught her not only how to deal with her own emotions, dreams and behaviour but how to assert her boundries with others. Jelena has said that she feels happy and enjoyed the activities, especially the plaster balloons, aswell as making some gorgeous friends.  She is looking forward to the monthly classes and joining the next 4 day retreat."

"I would like to express my thanks to you both. My son absolutely 
loved the program and made lots of lovely new friends that understood him and let him be him. He came home every day tired but extremely excited to go back the next day. I haven't seen him this happy to do a program in a very long time. He was extremely excited up and ready to go each day. He learned a lot.
I look forward to watching the movie they all made.
He felt very important everyday with jobs and tasks to do.
He wants to come back every day. He would love for this to be his school.
Thank you both ever so much for letting my boy be who he is and letting him express it."

 Sacred Women's Weaving

Circle  - next August 2nd  2015




Continuing on August 2nd - we still have spaces if you wish to join - learning about all kinds of interesting things. 

We will meet monthly - for a good part of the day and share a meal - we shall weave the tales of the stories of our lives - the initiations - the blood rites of women - long let go of and now making a call to return for a new weaving in a new age unfolding. 

We shall do this while we are sewing, weaving, beading, crocheting, knitting, cross stitching, felting or any other form of sacred taking of the threads of existence and making a new tapestry with - both individually and as a group. The group piece we will make will be a patchwork - for healing - there is much alchemy in this that I am learning about. 

The old ones knew what they were doing with this ancient craft and we shall discover together what we are capable of for the sake of tribe and the community of which we are all a part. 

So together we shall reclaim this sacred rite of women and weave new myths - new forms of knowing and healing and anyone interested in joining us - who has a skill not yet lost in time - then contact me in the usual way and book a place for this fun and creative endeavour for the winter days. 



Services Offered by the Diamond Heart Academy and Thrive by Design:


Anxiety and Depression are exploding in terms of diagnosis and severity - and the main stream models of "treatment" are struggling under the weight of it. 
There are other approaches that are much more effective in getting to the root cause of what ever is out of balance in your life and causing these symptoms - and releasing them from the system - dare to be different - to heal your self - from the inside out - rather than from the outside in [ie meds] which will only serve to numb you against the pain - but do nothing to resolve the issue in the heart of things!

What is Transpersonal Counselling - What is it and Why would I. 

Appts available by contacting Prue at prue.blackmore@thrivebydesign.com.au or on 0419819089

It can be quite hard to describe in some ways however here are some of the things that are often repeated to clients when working in this way. 


 

What comes out of someone else’s mouth is not about you.

People do not see each other – they see a projection of the other – all the things they are yet to resolve or understand within themselves, are projected out onto the other and disliked, rejected, hated or fought about there.

We are of course all in active acts of creation and co-creation with self and others so it can be useful to hear what is being said with honour – however take out of it only what is of use to you and let the rest fall on the ground without reaction or even comment if needed. Some times we teach best by saying nothing at all remember.

When someone is pointing the finger at you and saying “You……….” – simply change the word ‘you’ to the name of the person doing the speaking and you are quite close to what is actually being said at this point lol. Remember when one finger points out – three fingers point back – that is where the truth lies. For the person doing the talking and pointing. This applies to us as well as them – when you catch yourself doing this – stop and own it work it out for yourself and once the emotion is dissipated and the communication is open – there may not be much left to say at all lol.

How do you know when you are in a projection? If you are having an emotional reaction to what ever is going on and the communication lines have broken down – it’s that simple peeps – if either of that is going on then you are caught in your own pain – step back and sort it.

counselling post - zen

Stay in the Moment – dwell there.

This is difficult but absolutely necessary. Most people live in the past or the future. In the past anguishing about what went wrong or caught in a sub conscious wound that simply wont let go. When we do that it is a powerful entrapment for we are living and behaving as if that ancient process were still going on and if we do that – it may as well be. Patterns of wounding and pain will give you clues to when you are doing this – ‘not this shit again’ – type of thing. We all have them and we all recognise them however without help we are often struggling to free ourselves from them. There are many powerful tools that can immediately help with this, however as a first regard – stop and witness it. Here I am in this rubbish again!

When ever we do this we are using the past to recreate painful aspects of it, again and again in the present and we will keep doing it until it is resolved - for each of the wounds in our subconscious must heal and will continually recreate themselves in the current moment in an effort to bring them selves to conscious awareness. However each time it appears it is as painful now as when it was created and we push it away again – it is how we end up in patterns of the same shit, different day, different people, same shit. The wound constantly recreating itself and us constantly pushing it away.

Or we are dwelling in the future in the fear it is going to happen again. The ‘what if……” questions [always foretelling the worst possible outcome by the way] and the predicting of negative outcomes and worrying about it all. In other words using the past to recreate the future built on unresolved or inherited wounds while bypassing the present [the only reality we have] altogether – no wonder the world is in such a mess lol.

counselling voice

The Voice in your Head is Not Yours.

The voice in your head – you know the one – the nasty little fucker who constantly tells you that you are hopeless, useless, incompetent or guilty – and you may as well just do the world a favour and top yourself. We all have it. We have been listening to it all our lives. The Hold Fast Tyrant! The Super Ego or the Voice of Conscience are some of its names.

It is not you – it is the voices of your parents, your siblings, care givers, teachers [ a lot of whom should never be allowed near children in my opinion] and your society and culture about what you “should” or “Should not” be doing or being in order to maintain the status quo of the power brokers in your world.

It is just that you have been listening to it for so long you think it is real and if you think that? Guess what – it may as well be as you are a creator god and you create your reality absolutely with your thoughts.

And of the 50.000 thoughts you had yesterday – 49,999 you had yesterday and the day before ad nauseum and they are not your thoughts – they were put there by other well meaning, well intentioned people who had the same thing done to them when they were small children – all completely ritualised and stupid and all completely unconscious.

The single most destructive thing you do in your life is listen to that crap and the most useful thing you can do first up is learn to delete it. There are powerful healing processes that eliminate that driver from the system however in the first place stop listening to the rubbish. There is not a word of truth in it!! Think of all the terrible things it has told you over the years – not a single one of them has come true however you have been running around your whole life as though all of it is true having a pretty miserable time of it – stop it

counselling emotion

Just because you are Feeling something – does not mean it is Real.

Your emotional body has a conditioned response to certain stimuli – as outlined above as well as other ways – a bit like Pavlov’s dog really. [google it if you don’t know] So every time your partner, child, sibling, co-worker or employee behaves in a certain way and you are having a very predictable patterned reaction to that – remember what is outlined above. Most people when they feel something – usually painful, negative or overwhelming – simply believe it must be true and therefore I have to react to it – no you don’t. stop – own the feeling – this is mine – breathe – ask the question – what is this about - really. Breathe it up – let yourself feel it deeply and then simply go to the terrified child within you [the one that is caught in the unresolved wound] that is feeling this and simply reassure them that a] this is not happening any more and b] you are there to ensure it never happens again.

While you are in the world of pain and observing it you can acknowledge the emotional body for a moment – put it outside of yourself for a bit and say to yourself – “well that is what my emotional body is feeling about this situation now – what does the rest of me want to do. Step back and breathe – look at your projections or unresolved pain and do something about it – unless you want to take this garbage to the grave – and worse – into the next life or ten lol.

counselling perception

It is not what Happens to You that causes Pain – It is How you Perceive it. 

Most of the events in our lives that cause pain and ongoing suffering in our current existence, are perceived through the eyes of fear and pain and so when ever we get any kind of tweak that reminds us of that event [consciously or unconsciously] so does the pain and fear get tweaked along with it.

This will continue absolutely until the fear and pain are resolved and that can happen permanently in the space of one hour. Yes it can. There are simple and powerful tools to move the pain and allow for a shift of perception from fear to love.

counselling love
 

There are only two emotions – love and fear.

Fear comes in many disguises – hate, greed, envy, jealousy etc however it is all fear. However there are only two emotions and each of these has a magnetic pull to them. [the work of Buckminster Fuller and Dan Winter is interesting to look at – sacred geometry and heart math]

We are indeed creator god’s who create with our thoughts and most people are constantly preoccupied by what is not working for them – so guess what they are constantly creating over and over again – more of that which is not working for them – magnetically drawing it in until we learn not to be afraid of it for that is how the universe teaches us that some of our patterns are not useful – when the boredom with the pain outweighs the pain itself the situation will resolve.

When we look at the situations we are in through the eyes of fear that is the reality we create for ourselves. When we look at the situations of our lives through the eyes of love – that is the reality we create for ourselves – your choice – each moment – what will you choose – love or fear.

counselling - cant handle

You are never given anything that you cannot handle.

This is despite every thing the lunatic in your head will tell you to the contrary – remember we discussed aspects of the voices before. The conscious mind is a seriously disturbed unit. It was given far too much responsibility in the west, where we made it god king – a job it simply is not equipped for.

The whole being must make decisions really – however we are cut off from our emotions so they don’t get a look in, we despise our physical bodies predominately as too old, too fat, too ugly, too skinny or whatever else the mind tells us is wrong so we don’t listen to it – despite the fact that every atom in your body was once a star and remembers everything it has every done or been – they are connected to everything and know what the weather in Africa is doing but we have so learned not to listen to it either.

And as for the soul’s musings – start listening to that and the main stream medical model wants to medicate it into submission. We must reconnect with the whole – allow the feeling mind to be guided by the thinking heart – allow the whole being to move us and then we know absolutely that what ever challenge we have created or co-created in our lives – that all answers to that challenge lie within the challenge itself – that is what it is to be human.

But when we let the mind rule – to attempt a job it is not equipped for – then it becomes paranoid and over zealous and becomes a poisoned chalice – filling us with fear and dismay. All suffering comes from the mind. Take charge of it – stop listening to its insane mutterings and get rid of the distortions and lies and let it go back to what it was created for – logic and reason – to guide and support the souls journey. The four bodies – emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual must all work in unison for us to move in the direction of our responsibility – the ability to respond to what makes our heart sing.

 

counselling - enough
 

You Always Have Been, Are and always Will Be – Enough.

The great terror in all of us is that who we are is not enough – a message that has been reinforced to you throughout your childhood by constraints and script messages placed on you that tell you not to be you – to be what your parents and society need you to be in order for all of them to feel good enough as parents and to maintain control.

This has become so seriously screwed up now that we are carrying generations of fear, war, horror and what ever else your genetic line is carrying and that you will willingly unconsciously shoulder, out of a deep love for your tribe – and that will stalk you throughout your days as you attempt to wrestle your way through the nightmare.

Each infant is born perfectly into a world that is ready for it, into the arms of the person contracted to bring them into the world – however the pain is so great that is being carried around that the mother and father feel inadequate, overwhelmed and unable to instinctively do what they are born to do because of all this garbage – it is then fed into the next generation obliging them to do the same.

Each generation of children is the most advanced of the species – this is logical as each infant takes all of its’ mothers’ blood line knowledge and all of its’ fathers’ blood line of knowledge and takes them forward – however we are so busy controlling and containing children – putting them into the same little box that we were put into as children that we rarely stop and receive the wisdom on offer. Why do you think old people and kids get along so well? Because old people are remembering and working out what they knew instinctively when they were children – before it was pummelled out of them.

Remember who you are – get up off your knees and unshackle yourself – anything less is unworthy of the great soul that you are.

There are wonderful techniques now available for pregnant mothers that allow this to happen in utero – where the mother loses her fear of childbirth [a race memory carried by all women understandably] and releases the baby in the womb of all the inherited fear in the process.

counselling - feelings

No one ‘Makes’ you Feel Anything

We live in a world that is so dysfunctional emotionally we are literally drowning in misperception about what is real. It is quite simple really – if you are feeling something it is because it is internally generated. No one makes you feel anything – ever. You may be programmed or conditioned to have certain emotional responses in certain situations however they are still your responses and your responsibility to deal with them.

The minute you say to some one “You make me angry” – you have just given all your power to them for if they are doing it to you then they are the only ones who can change it. Much better to say “When you do that – I feel angry” for then you are feeling it, it is in your control and you can change it when you are ready.

Conversely the opposite is true. Do not let other people load you up with the responsibility for their emotions in the same way. When some one says to you “You make me angry” – simply say to them – “Actually I am not that powerful – if you are feeling angry at anything I am doing that is your choice and your responsibility and you need to deal with it because I have enough shit of my own to deal with thank you very much”

It does not mean things cannot be discussed – it just means things can be discussed without projection and hooks being brought into the process.

These programmed emotional responses by the way can be removed very easily and it really does make day to day communications with your nearest and dearest much easier to manage and facilitates peace.


counselling - pain
 

You can Trust the Love of a Human however you Cannot trust their Pain.

The love that exists in humans is very powerful and very real and it will stand by and support you in all things. What you cannot trust in your parents, your partner, your work colleagues or others is their pain.

That pain will sacrifice the very life of a child in order to protect itself and that says a great deal about the pain in the other and nothing at all about you. People really do terrible things to each other to protect the internal wounds – it is sometimes impossible to imagine the kind of pain that is going on in someone that would have them be cruel to an animal or a child – and your inability to imagine what kind of pain could do that, gives you some insight into just how huge that pain might be.

This is not to offer excuses for such things – only understanding. As the great Philosopher Terrence said, “Let nothing that is human be foreign to me” – meaning there but for the grace of god go anyone of us for each of us is fighting the same great battle between the polarities inside. And if we were raised in a different family with different outcomes we would be as capable of anyone else of horrific things – don’t kid your self to the contrary. Every time you are judging something in some one else – taking the moral high ground or looking down your nose at someone – it is just the story you were given as a child about what you were or were not allowed to be and so you bury that deep inside – reject it, project it and judge it as less than – in the other. Beware of such hubris dear ones for it is always – without fail – followed by nemesis.
 

counselling  love 2
 

Love is the only thing that is Real

Coming back to the two emotions – it is true that the only one of them that is real is love. Everything else in the universe – even death – is an illusion created for the experience of it – for the sake of compassion. Each is a step back to the source from which we came and the only way home is through love. Letting go of our minds determined beliefs, its ability to pick the scabs and ruminate over past injustices, future fears – seems so real that we live it as though it is and while we are believing it – it is. That simple really.

However when you begin to see that there are parallel streams running with you all the time with different possibilities, different beliefs and different outcomes – then you are free to manifest a different reality, built in love and not fear.

Unpacking some of the pain can be a life time journey because of all the successive lifetimes and genetic lines of wounding – however it can be done and it behoves you to move in that direction for that is what you are here for.

Do not doubt the perfectness of your being here – no matter how wretched it may seem. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience and only humans judge – we create the gods in our own image – not the other way around and when you perceive that – suddenly a lot of the mad gods we have created begin to make sense. We made the devil in same way – we are not yet grown up enough to own our own divinity or own our self created demons so we build a god and a devil and make them responsible – see how pervasive it all is?

If you are going to be free then that requires you to take responsibility for all that you have been in, done, think, feel, say and do and the only way you can do that is by developing self love and self compassion for all that you are – which is a divine note in a divine symphony that would not be the same without you. You matter a great deal more than you realise.

There are billions of entities lined up to be here at the moment – why else do you think there are so many humans currently – more than at any other time in human history [which goes back a damn sight longer than you are currently told lol] – they are all here to experience the evolutionary shift – not a physical shift but a shift in consciousness.

You made it to this planet – many will not – so trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be doing exactly what you are meant to be doing – otherwise you would be somewhere else doing something else – trust me.

So if you wish to experience counselling - therapy of a different kind, steeped in a back ground of 30 years in mental health, deep immersion in transpersonal techniques and shamanic practice, art therapy and energetic paradigms then contact Prue and begin the journey towards authenticity.


 
Healing with Sound

Whole Being Healing - [Harmonic Convergent Vibrational Healing]




There is a technique for healing that is beyond transpersonal counseling, beyond psychotherapy, beyond mindfulness and cognitive change, beyond behavioral challenges. This has flowed from experiments with sound in the recent past but also many years of gently playing with this that in a way is all now coming together.

We all carry things that have accumulated within us both genetically and over life times. Things that erupt in our lives in patterns of familiarity ( not this again!!) and in patterns of pain. As the veil is thinning and we are evolving more and more of this is ‘bleeding’ through into our current existence for healing.

Anxiety, guilt, shame, inadequacy, powerlessness, frustration, rage, resentment, loss, grief and despair.......


Utilising deep emotional release, personal connection with your own Higher Self, body mapping, hands on balancing of the fields around you and harmonic sound – this process reaches you deeply at the heart, mind, body and soul aspects of your reality in a profoundly healing way!

This work has grown out of many years of work in psychiatry and mental health, Psychodynamic and Lomi Lomi bodywork, Harmonic Overtones, Shamanic Practice, Transpersonal Counseling and Art Therapy – amongst many things in my life time of learning and unfolding.

This process follows the pattern of pain around the body, then takes it to the core emotion of that pain and using joint toning, ancient instruments of vibrational healing, ancient words of harmonic power, intent and symbology – a process is set up of a vibrational movement in which nothing that is disharmonious to the system can reside within.

Shamanic Healing - what is it and why would I...

shamanic healing 2

Shamanic healing is a very ancient form of working with a client and these practitioners have been around in recorded history for over 60,000 years - from the Tungus in Siberia, from the rock art deep in the mountains of Europe, to the living art of the first people of Oz - in fact they are recorded in all cultures that have occupied this planet through the rituals and ceremonies handed down through the ages.

This profound and powerful way of release and renewal is based upon the principle that what ever is occurring in your current life - break down, break up, illness, grief and loss, guilt and shame, addiction, anxiety and terror, inadequacy and feelings of lack of worth or value - what ever pain or life circumstances you are currently dealing with - it is all based on a disturbance of equilibrium within you.

Something is out of balance. And if it is manifesting in external or internal symptoms to point this out to you, it is doing so that you may do what ever is required to restore balance.

shamans mask

This presupposes a very deep truth. That you are never a victim. That what ever is occurring for you is being co-created by you - with others or with your own physical, psychological, emotional or spiritual reality in order for you to heal [not cure] yourself of the imbalance and allow your life to return to equilibrium.

And you have the power to do this - absolutely. The placebo effect is a classic observation of this ability.

We are taught in the west that an illness is beyond your control and must be medicated or cut in order to subdue it, control or eliminate it and the same with your emotional and psychological world - that it is like a Newtonian clock in that when it breaks - replace the broken bit and all will be well.

Again let us drug the heart and mind into submission. And as for spirituality - well we actually don't get much of that on the planet currently - we have religion instead which is all about giving your power to the priest and they will get you to "god" lol. Crowd control really.

We-are-a-stand-in-this-web-of-life

From the moment of your birth unto the moment of your death everything is connected to the web of life - of all creation and your life is a rhythm of ebb and flow, waxing and waning and we are forever experiencing the 'little deaths' of life's changes, release and renewal.

But we are also taught in the west that we can only flow - forward - forcefully - and that change is to be resisted at all costs and the only movement allowed is expansion - there is no room for letting go, for the cycles of life, the seasons, we are death deniers and terrified of our own mortality and this whole process creates an immense imbalance that leads absolutely to the pain and heartache that has become the given norm of the world we currently dwell in.

When a client comes to a Shamanic practitioner for a healing - all of this is understood and woven into the experience. Where the client is - in the long journey between life and death - in the fabric of their social world, included or excluded, valued or not - in the balance of their physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual bodies - is all taken into account as they present - willing to change.

shamans journey

A Shamanic healer will have already done a divination for the client before they present for the treatment - to see what is there in the landscape of the soul's journey.
And when the client arrives and the process begins - the healer enters this landscape to see what is there - they meet the client as their medicine - their connection with spirit nature - bird, animal, a creature that may swim or crawl - and if that creature is bound or trapped or wounded in that landscape - that deep and primordial landscape - then that is resolved in that world in the service of the client.

The are the earliest navigators of consciousness, skillful to a high degree in journeying and bringing back the resources needed to aid the client in the ‘here and now’ process of their lives.
They have many resources and skills at their disposal to ascertain what has led to the client’s symptoms – as they present to them. No matter what the problem, while addressing those symptoms and restoring balance to the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual realms of the client – they are always at heart observing the flight of the soul and where the client is in the journey of their life between birth and death.

soul flight

The Shaman is a healer, a priest or priestess, a medium and story teller, an actor or entertainer, a trickster and prophet, a world builder and sorcerer, a mage and magician and many possibilities besides. There is a great deal of misinformation out there but in truth it is a lens through which the world can be viewed in new and visionary ways and is the oldest medicine ways practiced in human society.

This profound and deep healing will then flow out into the external world of the client - over the next hours, days, weeks, months and years and it continues to flow into the river of their life.

BlueWaterDropBalance

There may things that the client needs to do after the treatment - what is there is there and instructions are given as required however the balance is restored in a deep and powerful way that then allows other things of imbalance in the clients life to fall back into place.

If you wish to experience this unique and powerful way to discover the depths of your being and journey to that which awaits you - contact Prue on 0419819089 or at prue.blackmore@thrivebydesign.com.au to set up an appointment x

Testimonials

" I do not know really what happened however there is a great cloud lifted from my life - i am more present in the moment and more aware of being here - quite remarkable"

" I have been wrestling with this issue for many years now and have tried many approaches over the years - I cannot believe the difference this has made and I am very surprised and grateful for what happened"




 

Cosmic Connections 

 
Well the cosmic chaos continues as we move towards the great square in September but more on that in another issue.

July begins with a glorious full moon in Capricorn – midnight our time peeps on July 1 – and on the same evening Venus and Jupiter line up to ignite what will unfold from here on in.
 
This powerful energy has you be here now – fully present and fully aware of the absurdity of your existence in all its stupendous glory. And with this of course comes the possibility of manifest goodies from the great beneficiary and its alignment with Venus. Trust your idealism and intuition tonight peeps and for the days that follow – you can weave real magic here lol.
 
And at the same time the sun is trining Neptune so be zen and go within this magical evening – there is great power here for knowing. Listen well to your inner voices – they will be all available for guidance now.
 


The Full Moon in Capricorn itself brings many powerful forces together – the sun is in Cancer – mother energy. The Moon is in Capricorn – its opposite sign and the Father energy. Home vs nation – how we feel and what our purpose is. What are we and how do we relate is all present here.
 
Cancer – the great Mother – is full and present here – she who brings life and she who sustains it and she is feeding all women on the planet now and she is feeding all men however mostly they remain terrified of her and are yet to feel it except to deny it. So rise up women – rise up and take your power to bring and sustain life and bring that into the world of which you are a part – for this is what this moon offers you.
 
Mars in Cancer here gives you the power and authority to wrestle with these ideas and to bring them home to the world of which you are a part. Mars will give you the energy to protect and defend all that is held dear here and we can do this in the home and also to demand change from our government when we see it acting in ways that are so contrary to what the mother recognises is required for good living.


And because of Pluto in Capricorn [ you know – the force that has pulled the plug on all institutions of patriarchy] then this will be felt in the world now as more and more of the desperate old schemes for keeping the elite super rich at the expense of all life come crashing down and can be seen for the emperor without clothes that they always were.
 


What is interesting here is that the sun and moon in both signs are at 10 degrees and the symbol for this in Cancer is the large diamond in the first stages of the cutting process – how do we want to facet and cut ourselves and anyone connected to the diamond heart academy knows how vital this force really is!! And for Capricorn at this degree the symbols is the albatross feeding from the sailor – a sign of luck and good omen.
 
A grand cross is formed here with the lunar nodes in Aries and Libra and all this again is about rising above the outmoded – outworn madness of the separation and cruelty of a patriarchy and to allow the mothers energy to nurture all of her children – without differentiation or judgement.
 
We are being called to feel our deepest for the world with this moon and to rise to our highest ideals with this energy. There is an amazing energy that comes with all this and it feels divine – the sky is the limit – we can do anything – and we wont sell ourselves out to play small any longer.

With the Mothers love behind and underneath us and the Fathers wisdom to guide and direct us to our highest ideals then we can share without fear, love without need, help without needing anything back and be calm and disciplined as we do this.

So surrender to these energies – go with the flow – enjoy – with all the magic here – trust. Don’t try to figure it out, we know the mind is quite mad and does not have the wherewithal to do it – plus it will be clouded by Neptune’s energy here – so let that diamond heart do the clarity thing.
 
On the third there is a rare opposition between Chiron and another asteroid which facilitate a lot of bridge building activity being possible between you and another – look for forgiveness and letting go around an old wound here. It is a great opportunity to heal the past or to be able to walk away from something once and for all.
 
 

Over the next few days up to the 6th when the Sun in Cancer opposes Pluto there will be an intense build up of energies as the Self is pushed to transform lower order reality into something more altruistic – and this can lead to aspects of yourself being revealed that you may have much rather wanted kept in the cupboard.

This forced awareness though is necessary – showing you what is needed to heal. It can lead to power struggles with authority figures in your life – where it is required for you to assert your own power and this can be very uncomfortable for some.

 Or in truth it may be you that has become pushy and righteous – creating these situations with loved ones and community or employment. What ever it is this alignment will bring it home to roost. We are being shown here that we cannot ignore things and coast through life – saying it is not that bad – or not my problem – the days of ignoring things and hoping for them to pass you by are done.

This energy will bring things home to you so be prepared and be prepared to be open and have a dialogue from an aware place.
The thing is that the separating but still very alive Uranus-Pluto square is activated three times this month due to the Sun, Mars and Mercury sojourn through the sign of the inner ashram – the keynote for which is “I see the lighted house and dwell within” – Cancer. Challenging t-squares to the radical and revolutionary outer orbs continue to demand transformation and hit powerfully on the 6th, 10th and 15th of the month
 
 

On the 8th Mercury [which has led us a long and merry retro dance once shadow is included] enters Cancer which will allow our minds to slow down and for the pace to lessen a little. The planet of the mind enters the sign of deep emotion and will allow for a greater intimacy and a sharing between lovers and other relationships of what is actually real to us and encouraging reciprocity here. Perfect conditions for the building of the thinking heart and the feeling mind.
 
The energies ramp up again on the 12th when Sun in Cancer squares Uranus and creates a very powerful and chaotic energy rising within all of us [look to your own chart to see where this will impact] and again it all points to the hidden elements of your psyche wanting expression.

 What have you swallowed for far too long perhaps? What have you endured from others or what have you done to yourself to keep you in the little box that was created for you in childhood so your caregivers could feel safe with you? Or what are you doing to others that has reached its use by date? If you are dishing it out or are tolerating it [what ever personal version of it all that yours is lol] you can be assured these energies are going to have it in your face front and centre with a strong command to stop it now. There is a strong push with this alignment to shake the dead wood out of the tree – to stretch and grow.
 
Immediately past this time on the 14th Venus squares Saturn requiring us to examine our values and how foundational they are to our existence – and do we walk our talk or just chatter but change nothing. So this will continue the deep examination of your relationships and how they serve you or harm you. It is so important at this time to remember that everything you encounter in the external world is a reflection of yourself that you are needing to address, heal, release or own.
 
 Everything we think about and witness and relate to - is ourselves beckoning us to integrate all things within - so that we may know the truth of who we are and release the story that we were given. Everything is within – and this incessant and childish need to find the “other” or wait for the “saviour” is just that – the things of frightened childhood. Everything is within and you are all you need and can recognise that when you release the story of your existence. There is no one coming to save you – you are either going to save yourselves or not – the choice really is up to you – and these energies are here to help with this.
 
 

The 15th – New Moon in Cancer [my personal favourite next to the Aries new moon] arises this day and many other cosmic alignments occur here to ramp up the gifts the cosmos offers us this month.

Here the Great Mother dwells – in all her fecund, primal, intuitive wonder! So work this moon accordingly peeps! Do the ritual for the Great Mother in you!! For this is what is being rebirthed in all men and all women – the sacred feminine. Know your power – the power of love – the power of the deep abyss - of the waters of your deepest, darkest unconscious self.
 
And with all else that is happening this day here is the opportunity to reach deep within and welcome her home – no matter what your gender! What do you need to know from her that will allow you to finally love yourself unconditionally. She will give you the grace and power you need to transcend all stories – about what you are and are not – what you can or cannot be – all pain and all suffering can be seen for what it is here – the concentrating of the black diamond in ever more intense ways – that will facilitate such a birth of light when the time comes, life will not be the same ever again.
 
 Here is the time of preparation beloved brothers and sisters – here is the time of incubation and this moon is a time of intuition and illumination for all that is the divine love within you. This will bring balance to the mad patriarchy – that has brought the world to the brink of destruction.

 Here is a time to gather your loved ones around you and celebrate all that you hold dear and close – to remind yourself as she reminds you – the only thing that matters is people and life around you – the things of the mad consumerism are all illusionary and empty. Nurture yourself and all you love at this moon and open yourself up for more.
 
On this same day with Mars opposing Pluto – you will again be required to work out what matters – will you follow your thinking heart and feeling mind? The power of this connection will bring things to a head – you are moving in the right direction and will get a boost for continuing to fly – enhanced by the sacred feminine moon or your egoic structure is going to hit the proverbial wall cause you have been leading yourself [or others] up the proverbial creek without the paddle. You choose.

 And with Mercury opposing Pluto here you will have all the support to nut these things out – to get to the very bottom of conflict, change required, recognition that it is over once and for all or all of the above. What ever it is be gracious – there is no point in going to war here – it achieves nothing – simply generates more energy to be resolved – so don’t. Just be mindful, this day of deep feminine power, of any attempts to manipulate you into something you don’t want or to accept something that just feels wrong or any desire in you to do that to another.

 The likelihood of it blowing up in your face big time is here now and while Pluto demands transformation of any pattern you have that denies the feminine within you – it can be as graceful or as messy as you determine.

 The hidden and secret will be revealed between the new moon and all this cosmic alignment with it – remember the illusion of all things – don’t get caught in the drama – either way.
Don’t get fixated on anything – the energies may invite you to do so and if you see that arising in your mind – delete it – forthwith. Use the power of mind that comes here today to focus on what you want instead – use it to produce the results you want.

 These really are beautiful and powerful energies this day of the moon and well worth engaging – know you will be invited to the dark side as readily as the light side – polarities will abound – the path lies in the middle – use this for the raising of self.
 


On July 18th Venus moves into Virgo and this transit fires up a restlessness and a desire to bring things to a head – to move – to let go. It is a real opportunity here to recognise the absurdity of thinking that you have any control over anything. Ever. Be flexible here and learn to dance on the moving carpet. The more you can do this – be in the moment – dance and fly – the greater these energies are for creation.

 The more you resist this the more the universe will grind inexorably over you to teach you to let go and surrender to what ever is there in your life requiring attention now.
 
As the sun moves into its own sign of Leo we can all expect a boost of energy on the 22nd.  And on the following day Mercury joins here also adding a lot of oomph to ideas of transformation and transcendence that are occurring now. A day or so later depending on where you are in the world – Venus turns retrograde unto September 7th and these are always great gifts albeit double edged and challenging ones.
 
Here we are being asked to turn inwards and examine our personal values and because of everything else going on this month there is real possibility of connecting with the divine source of yourself – true love – unconditional love of self for self from the most expansive of concepts.
 
This is an interesting cycle with Venus that we are currently in -  a cycle that includes the transits across the sun – and we wont see that again in our life time – that facilitate true manifestation of what was unfolding for you about 8 years ago. And focus this analysis upon your relationships – manifestly the one with your self, that all other relationships you have are simply the mirror to how well that is unfolding.

 Are you in integrity with yourself? Are you walking your talk? Any relationship where this is not happening will be pushing at you. Because this is really deep process unfolding – if there is an opportunity for you to be by yourself for a few days here – to go within – I highly recommend it – for it is with alone time that things that do not yet have words will find them.



 
The other interesting aspect of this is the opportunity to know the opposite sign to yours – to experience the quality and identity of the opposite to you and this can be very illuminating. So Cancer can know Capricorn and vice versa and so with all the other signs also. These oppositional attributes are often hidden from us but become more apparent during this retro period. A bright light will be shone into areas of your existence where you are not living your creative potential, not engaging your imagination for freedom, not focusing on death over life or love over fear and you will then be asked to step up to the plate and become more of yourself – it is coming – it is up to you to determine how challenging this is going to be. Pay attention and work with these energies – they are a great gift.
 
And then there are the usual admonitions for a Venus retro – do try and avoid illicit affairs during these 40 days [think wilderness – temptation – you know the drill lol] and do not cling to relationships that this transit will show you are at their use by date – wont help and will probably make things worse lol.



Do know that karmic connections and old past flames may appear here and try and remember they are in the past for a reason. So this may be a golden opportunity to let go properly – a little ritual of release and renewal might be more appropriate than another rumble in the hay as it were – for it is quite likely during the early phase of this retro that you may see old love through rose coloured glasses.

 Then when Venus becomes the morning star during that final phase you could be prompted to stray as your reproductive organs take leave of your sanity and decide to run the ship for awhile. There is a real risk of some dark trouble emerging here and while casual flings may seem harmless – during this transit – you may be drawing in much more than you bargained for. And pay the price for it for months while you extricate yourself from something not in your best interests. Period. Be warned.
 


Also through this retrograde we may see a strong continuation of the rise of the sacred feminine against the patriarchy. The empire that has become mad, diseased, destructive of all life and love – is coming to an end and this transit can well accelerate this potential.

  This is a deep movement of consciousness that will allow those at the ground floor to see the feet of clay of those who cling to ‘power’. It is fascinating that 76% of people want marriage equality but ¾ of coalition members of the government do not – that 85% of people want recognition of 1st nation people in the constitution and removal of the section on race and the ‘elected’ officianado are still prevaricating over this.

 While it is true that parliament is always about 10 years behind the population – it is getting much worse now as the truly desperate and terrified, rush to cling to ‘power’ – and this transit will show even more how the tawdry and inauthentic are all we see now in the corridors of the political class that 92% of the population despise and distrust. During this transit we will be asked to assert both sides of our nature – to come forth and protect each other and us from the sorcery that is fed to us through the media every day by the ever increasingly exposed psychopaths who currently rule the patriarchy.
 

A day later on the 25th Uranus goes retro in Aries until December 25th. This behemoth of the shocking and the unexpected means we are going to discover the shocking and unexpected within ourselves. This really does mean emotional storms of a wild and unruly kind, big shifts of consciousness, ‘Aha’ moments most profound.

 This really is the tree being shaken of all the deadwood – the grand ‘unhousing’ of our natures. We are all being redirected for a new way of being and some will be excited by this and others will be terrified of it. You will feel uncomfortable with this – it is a given – just allow it to happen and remind yourself you are never given anything you cant cope with – no matter what that lunatic in your head tries to tell you. It can sod off lol. We have to find a more functional way to connect to ourselves and each other – and as Uranus rules technology – watch for either break throughs or break downs here – occurring with lightening speed. Sudden and shocking always remember.
 
 This is a good thing and not to be frightened of. We don’t do change well we humans however it is [forget death and taxes] the one constant in our lives and all of creation is constantly unfolding and evolving – making the ludicrous tragedy of black religion – still waving some mouldy book around from thousands of years ago as the “truth” for todays world – truly epic in its destructive power of the creative force. And all of the old defences against change wont work any more peeps – what ever crutch you have been hobbling about on trying not to go with the flow – well Uranus will rip it out from under you and hit you over the head with it – if that is what it takes to wake up. Many of you will have been getting practice with this on the outside world with the mad Pluto – Uranus square hits that have unfolded over the past few years – this time it is internal so get ready. And let the creative juices flow – seriously during this transit be open to all possibilities and get out all mediums for explorations – it will help – being open will help these subterranean tsunamis coming your way.
 

Then on the 31st we have the second Full Moon of the month in Aquarius [no tis is not a blue moon – that is when there are two new moons in a single month – it will be a good day when we go back to the lunar cycle and have 13 months of 28 days per year – the mad patriarchy displaying its terror of all things feminine with the introduction of the stupid Gregorian calendar with its mad leap years etc – tossers lol] and again points to continuance of enforced awakening.
 
This one is for the group mind and again all things must be exposed, all boils must be lanced, all darkness must be seen, we can hide from our darkness no longer and during this 8 cycle in feng shui also – we will continue to see the innocent suffer here – which is what opens our hearts to compassion – children are the most innocent of all and we are seeing ghastly things being done to children around the world now.
 
What is of concern around this time is the leaning towards mental illness. As change becomes more and more apparent and the institutions of the patriarchy continue to fall – many will be overwhelmed emotionally and fragment psychologically.

 With Neptune in Pisces we have seen the predicted rise in both drugs administered by the state [including forced vaccinations of children that we are going to see the innocents pay a terrible price for - now that they get up to 84 of these before school – in terms of long term auto immune and allergic conditions] and in drugs created for and supplied for recreation and mind exploration. This too will add to the psychological fragmentation of people for not many know what they are doing with any of that.
 
It will behove you to stay zen, calm, collected and detached with what ever comes for this is the only answer to avoid getting swept up in the chaos. Learn to trust your instincts and stay away from peeps that are outside of your tribe and are clearly off the rails. You don’t need the mad and bad and untrustworthy in your life right now – if they are in your tribe then seek real help [not limited to drugging it into submission] and hold loving kindness towards them.
 
All of this is building up to the Saturn – Neptune mutable square in September at the last of the four blood full moons – which will shake the foundations of all things – more on that later – preceded by Jupiter’s entry into Virgo in August and Saturn’s ingress into tropical Sagittarius. This will be a difficult time – trust you are ready. This Moon in Aquarius under Leo Sun brings the catalytic energy required for the race mind, the group soul – to continue to awaken in service to all life – to become the giver without requiring anything back, to become the great mother of unconditional love for all – within our own diamond hearts – so let it be. This is also the first Super Moon of this cycle and so it’s effects will be more strongly felt than usual.
