CONSCIOUS CONVERGENCE: 17-18 JULY 2010

When I first heard that 'someone' had made up another Convergence for the humans on planet Earth, at first I thought it was rather amusing.  But after considering why, I realized it made sense. 

Back on the Summer's Solstice, we had the beginning of the formation of the  Planetary Transformational Quadrant:  Saturn on the  cusp of Virgo/Libra; Uranus and Jupiter in Aries; Pluto and the Moon in Capricorn (on 26 June); and the Sun and Mercury in Cancer.  This energy was most exact with a Lunar Eclipse on 26 June 2010.  This is one reason why I have been negligent about being more prompt with my posting - these energies have REALLY been clobbering me!  How about you? This is why it is so important to have an accurate birthchart so you can accurately place the Moon's position. 

In my birthchart, for instance, I happen to have the Moon right at the 1st degree of Libra.  So everytime a transiting planet enters Libra, it creates a tangible dynamic that I am capable of sensing, feeling, and being forced to emotionally respond to.  Predictably, I knew this was going to happen - I just did not know exactly what was going to occur. At this time, I do not feel comfortable disclosing the personal details.  The reason I bring this up at all, is that I want others to know that if your life is being bombarded with some rather intense feelings, then look at your birthchart to find out what is occuring. 

If you don't have a birthchart, please contact me at ron.starman60@yahoo.com, and I will gladly calculate, print, and send you a copy of your chart.  You need to know the DATE, TIME, and PLACE of your birth.  USA and Canadian requests are $5 (US currency); international orders will be based upon shipping charges.

So far this Summer of 2010, we have been witnesses to a lot of big media events, and much of the world has been bombarded by disasters and severe weather.  Here in the USA, it has been extremely hot temperatures and lots of rain.  With Pluto in Capricorn, look how so many people, businesses, and public figures have been falling from their lofty pedestals.  Lots of scandals, public disclosures of wrongdoings, and it all points out how these people/entities have been getting away with a lot of immoral actions over the past how many years.  These people/entities are being forced to be accountable, honest, and truthful about their actions. Hopefully, you are not one of these people, but it provides a good example of how we ourselves need to be honest, truthful, and accountable about our actions and interactions with others. 

And believe it or not, this does kinda bring us to what Conscious Convergence is all about.  I know that this is going to take some faith on your part, but believe me when I say that the angels, spirit guides, and spirit helpers are attempting to get each and every one of us to open our hearts, and project an aura of love upon ourselves, and all the troubled spots upon this beautiful planet Earth.  Conscious Convergence - CC - is about people connecting and utilizing the energies coming from the spiritual realms, and directing prayers and compassion to all the downtrodden, disheartened people and places upon Earth.  CC is about all of us coming to the realization that we are not separate beings just surviving upon this single globe. We are all members of a spiritual community which actually extends beyond our single planet. 

Allow me to go back and highlight the phrase that we need to project an aura of love upon ourselves.  Unless we love ourselves, how can we love someone else?  Love is such a crucial compenent of this equation of planetary love, and minds coming together realizing our true connections to each other.  The heart is synchronized with the energy of the 4th Chakra.  This heart energy becomes a portal for greater love awareness.  We can actually change ourselves and the world by expanding our awareness of love, and how it truly impacts our daily lives.

PART 2

Just as a "funny" aside...a few days ago I was updating this section and had written a lot of info about chakras.  Well, it was getting late, and I was falling asleep, and I accidently deleted it all!  Mad at myself? No. Disappointed? No.  It was an opportunity to consider what I had written so it would become more clear for this writing.  So, here we go...

One of the things that I have noticed about the masses of people in general, is that most people are socially functioning with a heart/4th chakra that is only partially opened, or closed.  Most of us unconsciously do this as a means of self-protection.  However, right now, the energies of the universe are increasing our vibrational frequencies.  And not just the heart chakra, but all the chakras are becoming more opened and operational!  Here, I wish to emphasize the heart chakra, because this one is crucial for activating and releasing the energies of the other chakras. 

The Ancient Vedics (yogis) of Tibet described the chakras as 'wheels of light'.  Chakras are energy centers, doorways to greater dimensional understanding.  Notice how each chakra is related to a different organ of the body.  These organs are known as endocrine glands.  If you have studied the workings of the body, then you know that all endocrine glands are governed by the pineal and pituitary glands.  The pineal and pituitary glands signal the endocrine glands to release hormones, which as we all know from going through puberty, can have amazing transformational effects upon the physical body. In fact, if you consciously block the current tendency of the higher vibrations wanting to activate and release the greater spiritual powers lying latent in your chakra-glands, then you will unwantingly create potentially harmful physical consequences! So, pay attention to your physical health, and seek help from others if necessary. 

The pineal and pituitary glands are also LIGHT SENSITIVE.  Light is also a vibration.  So, when someone such as myself tells you that the vibrational frequencies of the universe in general are increasing, we can then realize that "aha! My pineal and pituitary glands are also being activated, modified, and heightened" - YES! - and creating vibrational-physical changes within our bodies of which we may not be consciously aware.  It now becomes obvious that we need to be more conscious of what kinds of changes we want happening to ourselves. 

Meditation is such a good starting point for facilitating the changes. At a minimum, please allow yourself to slow the hectic pace of your life.  If you already have - congratulations! For instance, I like to start my morning with total quiet, stepping outside (weather permitting), checking the garden, admiring the flowers, and remembering the contents of my dreams.  

Each of the chakras corresponds to a different planet.  Believe it or not, the angelic forces which created our Solar System INTENTIONALLY set these physical components - and by that, I mean the planets - for just such a purpose. 

I find it funny that we have movies, like "The Matrix", which suggests that we are 'programmed'. But hidden - right in plain sight - within each of us is a means of sending and receiving messages and commications with the Divine.  Right now, the universe is sending all of us on planet Earth - and by that I mean ALL OF THE REALMS: plant, animal, elementals: air, water, fire, mineral - highly transformative heightened frequencies.  Our chakras are in direct, constant communication with these frequencies.  In fact, I don't know if you ever thought of this, but the sign of Aquarius represents 'THE DOWNPOURING OF COSMIC ENERGY'.  Currently, we are approaching the Age of Aquarius, the downpouring of cosmic energy, the incoming energies of light-induced vibrational frequencies. 

If we consciously slow the pace of life to where we can sense the interchange of energies having a transformational moment with us, then we can consciously welcome this input from the Cosmos. For instance, let's go back to the highly transformative energies which were present on 26 June 2010.  This was right  after the Summer's Solstice, so we know that these energies will strongly influence us throughout the entire summer months.  Right now, we are right in the middle of this process!  And although the Fall Equinox sets off another wave of energy which strongly influences the next 3 months, this Summer's energy will remain active until the Eclipse on the Winter's Solstice of 2010!!!

Saturn, representing the 1st Chakra of Survival, wants us to find balance in how we integrate these survival techniques into our lives.  Pluto, representing the 2nd Chakra of Creativity, wants us to be more creative as to how we govern ourselves.  Pluto is also about 'who is in control'? If you know you are not in control, then how can you creatively change your surrounding to allow for more self-created 'author'-ity?!  See how this fits in with the survival energy of Saturn?  If all you are focused upon is your own survival, then how can we create a culture consistent with our dreams of love and universal brother/sister-hood? An Eclipse was occuring this day (26 June 2010), so the Moon was a temporary partner with Pluto.  THIS was the day to release ourselves from all of our negative emotional attachments to the past.  Truly, a new day - a new era has begun!

Jupiter relates to the 5th Chakra of Teaching, Communicating, and expressing the spiritual power of the spoken Word.  So, speak your mind - even if your knees are shaking!  Right next to Jupiter is Uranus - ruler of the 7th Chakra, and represents where you allow yourself to let Divine Spirit enter your being. Now think about that for a second.  If we could intuitively be like animals and allow our very spiritual selves to work through us, we could get rid of the mental chatter which blocks our access to greater wonders, and we could realize potentials naturally provided to us through Spirit of which we don't normally utilize!  Even Jesus the Christ states in the biblical Book of John,"that which I do, you can do also; and even greater things."  What are we waiting for?  We've already been given the invitation 2000 years ago!

(Actually, everything is occurring 'right on time'.  Whether you know it or not, these changes will and are changing your very DNA.  ALL OF US will experience changes physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - all based on great cosmic cycles.  And just so you don't forget - the Mayan New Year begins on 26 July 2010.  The energies of this Mayan New Year fit in precisely with what I am discussing here.)

And, as I've already stated elsewhere, on 26 June 2010, the Sun was eclipsing the Moon. The Sun rules the 3rd Chakra of Sovereignty (Self-Awareness, Self-Assurance, Self-Confidence).  This is where you tell yourself "I will", and it will get done! Mercury, also a princely ruler of the 5th Chakra of Communication, was in partnership with the Sun, so we can see where what you were telling yourself or others about yourself was of extreme importance to you. 

Looking at this portal of personal power that was available to us on 26 June 2010, we can see that only 2 of the major chakras were not being dynamically activated.  Or were they?  The 4th Chakra of the Heart (Venus), and the 6th Chakra of the Third Eye (Neptune; where we are able to see God in ALL things) were silent partners. 

Let's bring this full circle back to CC.  By being spiritually open and seeing God's mysteries within all of creation, and having our hearts open with compassion and sensitivity for ourselves and others, we were welcoming in a new time of great change that will help to undo all of the old negative, destructive patterns from our collective, cultural pasts that were preventing us from acknowledging ourselves as powerful spiritual beings. 

So, I now welcome all the gods and goddesses out there who have finally realized that you are in fact a god or goddess.  This is your gift from God.  It was never meant to be taken from you, and now that you have the ability to re-claim it, do so with joy, wisdom, and knowing that you will do great wonders while you are on this Earth!

Peace and Blessings to All.  Ron.  

 TIME...

What is time?  Have you ever gone camping for an extended period of time?  Like 2 weeks or more.  Then, when you go back to work people will be talking about something that happened in the news, and you're wondering, "What are you talking about?  I haven't heard anything about that."  It's because your personal sense of time has been on vacation.  The outer experiences of the Social Collective Conscious were not allowed to infringe upon the interactions your soul had with the forests, rivers, and mountains. Your senses are still remembering and luxuriating in the chirping of birds, crickets, and the babbling of streams.  Hearing all that "bad" news really does get to be a shock to the systems (the various dimensions of reality that compromise the human existence).  And because we grudgingly (?) go everyday to our 9-5 jobs, eventually, the sweet, soulful remembrances of the wilderness fades away. 

Expanding further on this camping experience, imagine that in the near future you will be permanently out there camping!  What would that be like?  You could always be doing that which your soul longs to be doing.  Now, think and feel, if you could be doing that which you would really like to be doing as an expression of your soul, what would that be?  You would not have to worry about, "well it's Monday, and I hafta go to work now".  What would that be like?  Not compromising your soul's interests by laboring for a few dollars at a corporate job.

Try to envision such a situation extending to other aspects of your life. If you were truthfully aware of what your soul needs and longs for, you would be able to focus upon and fulfill those desires and passions.  Ideally, you might feel spiritually complete.  "I am being that which my inner soul and God has envisioned what I may be doing".   Imagine still that you are beyond mere survivalism.  Others in your community share the same experiences of soulful intent.  Life is not a struggle.  It is a blessed experience where others share your love and concern for each other's welfare and security, and the whole idea of fear does not exist.  All of your physical needs are taken care of because each person is doing that which they feel compelled to do to fulfill the longings of their soul.  Everyone is glad to be of service, mutually helping each other feel fulfilled, cared for, and needed within their community.  And yet, individualism and diversity are welcome, because each separate perception is needed to supply all the various wants and needs of the community.  Wouldn't that be fantastic!  

So, I ask you, if our socially agreed upon concepts of time were no more would you want to live in such a world?  Or, would you rather come home from work, put your feet upon the coffee table, crack open a beer, and hypnotically numb yourself by watching "American Idol" on TV?  Which is it?  

What if I told you that the previous scenario that I'm describing is what the Mayans were describing with their 2012 predictions of Time Coming to an End?  What if after 2012 was to be meant as the Time of Living With The Soul?  Forget your credit cards...and your cell phones, too.  Such an event does not sound apocalyptic to me...it sounds wonderful!  Please don't tell me that your desire to be entertained by a TV is greater than your desire to fulfill the deep, inner longings of your soul.  To be the spiritual expression of yourself that you truly desire and dream of being.

Does this scenario sound too far-fetched and impractical?  

Since 2008, I've noticed that many celestial events have been conspiring to bring about such a reality.  Now, remember, you are not living my dream...you are living your dream!  But to accomplish this, you need to wake up from your socially imposed slumbers of denying your truer self, and discovering who you truly are.  Who are you?  Every day, do your self a favor and ask your self, "who am I, truly?"

For instance, when you see yourself in the mirror each day, do you truly love the image that you see there of your self?  Or, do you analyze, criticize, and blame yourself for being too fat, having blackheads and zits, and wondering why you are bald?  All of that self-negativity is just a start.  How often do you criticize your self for not having a better job, not making enough money, or even feeling unloved, and unloving to those close to you?  "I would be so much happier if I had a new (girlfriend, boyfriend, lover, wife, husband, or job...you fill in the blank!)."  Or, do you accept who you are?  "Yeah, I was quite mean to the wife the other day.  I wonder what I could do to get her to realize just how much I truly regret hurting her feelings the other day?"  Believe it or not, I actually spend a lot of time wondering what I could be doing to improve the physical lives and emotional well-being of my family, and even my co-workers!  I feel good about who I am, and I just wish I could get others to feel emotionally and physically better about themselves. 

However, I've been around long enough (almost 62 years) to know that I can only change myself.  So, just like the character "Phil" in the movie Groundhog's Day, I do what I can to change myself, and act as a template of inspiration for others to do likewise.  And believe me, it is a struggle.  Undoing years of engrained socialization is challenging, but the end result of finding out who I am is so freeing, liberating, and exhilirating!  My job, for instance, demands that I stand a lot waiting on customers, and when they think that I'm bored...how wrong they are.  If only they could be in the space that I am occupying...where I'm at is full of Light, Love, Eternal Stillness, and visions of a reality that are entirely different from that which others occupy their time and actions.  "Is this a quality item?  Do you know where I get one cheaper?"  I laugh because they take their trivial concerns so seriously, ha!

"But how does one get to such a self awareness?"  Thank you, thank you, for understanding such an important question to ask for one's self-understanding.  Believe me, this is not an easy task for the timid and faint-of-heart.  First, you need to get out of the social perspective that others insist that you share with them.  Ask your self, for instance, why do people drink alcohol and do drugs? (At this point, I really want you to believe that alcohol and drugs are a crutch!  By releasing yourself from socially imposed restrictions, putting your self in the NOW MOMENT, and just breathing, you can realize the creative, innocent moment of being child-like, where endless possibilities exist. As Roger Waters of the rock-group Pink Floyd once stated, "with drugs I could fly, but they took away my wings."  Just breathe, be in the eternal now ment, and you will fly. ) Intuitively, we all sense a need to alter our awareness and experience a reality that is denied to us otherwise.  Our socially entrained perceptions of reality are so limited.  They are of the 3rd dimension, where everything must be seen, touched, tasted, heard, and measureable through time, space, and physical form.  But there is so much more!

SUMMER 2010...at least what's left of it

Are you feeling like you are 'stuck in the mud', lately?  It might have something to do with all the Retrograde planets.  Currently, Mercury, Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto are all in Retrograde motion.  So, mentally, philosophically, and spiritually, it may seem as if everything is going no-where fast. 

For instance, normally I feel like my spiritual presence is just right there beyond my reach.  And lately, it seems like it disappeared...or so I thought.  Early this morning while meditating I briefly opened my eyes and had the distinct realization of seeing the outer reality as all a hologram.  In the light of daybreak it all seemed so ethereal.  My next sensation was vastly expansive, as I realized that if - and it is - the reality around me is all an illusion of lightwaves, then who am I experiencing this holographic realization?  This insight sent me into an even deeper realization of my spiritual essence. I was no longer just me in the body, but a non-point of awareness that was vastly more expansive than I realized.  

Dreams lately, have also been quite vivid and prophetic.  (Oh, by the way, for those of you out there who are new to tracking your dreams for clues and insights into this apparently more solid form of reality, if you track your dreams for several months you may notice a pattern of greater dream awareness corresponding to the Lunar phases. And you men out there thought you didn't have 'periods.' Ha!)  About a month and half ago I had a dream about being outside of my house, and I was aware of all this particulate matter floating before my vision. It reminded me of swimming in river water, opening your eyes, and seeing all the particles floating before you.  Then, just 3 weeks ago, we decided to install new windows and siding on the old house.  Watching all the sawdust floating before my eyes brought back vivid memories of the floating particles dream.  This has been a daily experience for the past 3 weeks, and I can't help but think of the dream everytime I see the floating particles.  I was even able to tie-in the emotional realization which was present in the dream of feeling stuck in time and not progressing in the directions which I wanted my life to move in. Taking on this big project meant setting aside all of my personal goals and efforts for a while.

What I am attempting to convey by sharing this dream sequence, is that my spiritual awareness is still "right there", and perhaps even more strongly than I previously realized. I now realize that the dream was about the current house re-construction which we are doing. It's tough work, which is where each one of us is right now in our cycle of emerging greater spiritual awareness. For me, personally, all of this house re-construction has been simultaneously occurring with deeper realizations about my close personal relationships. The close personal relationships have also been experiencing a major re-construction. 

The Universal Energies which have been strongly influencing all of us this past Summer.  Perhaps you, too, have been undergoing a similar deepening of your sense of time, personal goals, relationships, and who you really are in this celestial playground. 

Mercury will be Retrograde until Sunday, 12 Sep '10.  While in the sign of Virgo - which highly emphasizes INTEGRATION - this is the time to synchronize your THOUGHTS, WORDS, and ACTIONS!  Remember, this Mercury Retrograde creates an extended stay for Mercury in Virgo. "Getting it together" is now more important than ever. You know you still have a lot of personal work to do in those areas where you are still experiencing fear:  do you fear losing your job?  losing finances? losing a lover?  Do you fear a global Armageddon? Because we are imperfect humans, we all have some degree of fear - no matter how small - impacting our greater spiritual growth and awareness.   

The main emphasis of the Cardinal Grand Cross energies this Summer has been about realizing who you are as a spiritual being, and to make the necessary permanent changes to align ourselves with the Higher Realities.  Up until now, most of us have just been thinking about these things.  But now the universe is saying, you need to pay attention to your words, and the spiritual actions will follow. Thoughts can seem more distant and fleeting, but our words are right there in front of us every time we speak.  How many of us just say something without thinking about it?  Probably a lot. Others may be more aware of these personal tendencies than we are. 

The waves of energy emanating from the Galactic Core are changing all of that.  Greater spiritual power is being provided to all of us, and in the near future we will all begin to realize just how much power our words have - not only upon ourselves, but upon the world around us!  And not just the spoken word either!  Those of you reading this are being influenced by the words I write, whether you agree with me or not. Either way, you are expanding your awareness! 

The day after Mercury goes Direct, Pluto also turns around and moves into Direct motion on 13 Sep.  (In some time zones, Pluto won't move Direct until 14 Sep.)  The inner realization that your thoughts can change and alter your reality become even stronger still!  Although not exact, Mercury and Pluto will be in a favorable trine angle to each other, highly supporting those personal, social, and global changes of which you desire to partake.  Thus, mid-September promises to be a time of intense desires for personal changes. 

When I sat down to write this message, I was not intending to delve into this next topic, but I see that it fits in very appropriately with what has been discussed so far.  IF you thought that the Summer's Grand Cross was just a thing of the past, then the Fall Equinox on 22 Sep will knock you for a loop.  Saturn is still at the early degrees of Libra, and when it is conjoined by the Sun in Libra, a very intense opposition is created with Jupiter and Uranus (both of whom have just moved back into Pisces temporarily). 

The pivotal point between these planetary energies is occupied by transformative Pluto in Capricorn. Believe it or not, the changes that we make with ourselves, and in our relationships with others, will also have a highly transformative effect upon the established world around us!  In other words, whether we realize it or not, we are either consciously or unconsciously changing the dyanmics which rule and control the world around us.  For instance, I am in the process of changing how I am perceived by others in the area of a career.  But in doing so, I will not only affect myself, but I will also influence the corporate dynamics which are in the world around me.

To take this concept a little deeper, have you ever thought how your 'working for someone else' was a giving away of your personal power to do what you have always wanted to do with your life?  The older perception ties us strongly to the physical restriction of 3D.  The new perception lifts us up into the more spontaneously creative energies of manifestation which are within the 5D.  (4D will be a temporary bridge of emotional empowerment and self-confidence as the Galactic Energies of En-Lighten-ment will attempt to sweep us right into the higher dimensions of 5D.) In the old perception, we have allowed others to control us; in the new reality, we will each be responsible for the creative controls which we place upon ourselves, and utilize within our social structures for the greater well-being of each other. 

So, if you were under the mis-guided perception that your life was going to get easier in the near future, just be aware that the forthcoming changes in September and October (and beyond) will occur at an even more rapidly accelerating pace. 

If your life is going through a change right now, embrace and nurture the transition.  If you block the needed changes, you will only bring about karmic situations, or physical illnesses, job losses, and painful relation-shifts that only make your present situations even worse. Think of it as watering a garden:  the hose gets kinked, the water does not flow, and garden fails to grow.  

May you all find great inner peace in your current struggles to discover a deeper spiritual reality of which you hold a greater role.
