Crawling, Walking, Flying
As we know, humans have consciousness. An important purpose in this life is to elevate consciousness. From an astrological point of view, it means first recognizing our natal conflicts and working to eliminate them, and second, equally important, understanding that our upbringing and environment have created a virtual universe for us that is most likely not real, but rather the vision of those who created it for us.
At a certain point in our lives, we must stop, breathe deeply, and remain still. It is in this state that we can begin to analyze all the layers that comprise our personality. Nobody is as they are; everyone is as they choose to be.
This is clearly seen with people who have been clinically dead and come back to life.
Family, work, friends, pets, finances, and the house are things that generally absorb ninety percent of our waking time and part of our rest time. The rest of the time left in a day is used for entertainment or leisure.
And so we go through life, which becomes about ‘just maintenance,’ to maintain the structures we created or that were imposed on us in some way.
If one of our purposes in life is to elevate consciousness, it is apparent that there isn’t much free time left to dedicate to that. And so, life goes on until an illness, accident, or any unforeseen event takes the person to another plane.
All day-to-day concerns cease to exist; those left behind will grieve because they feel the loss, but let’s be realistic, there’s also an intrinsic worry about who will take over all the responsibilities of the one who departed.
The departed moves to another plane, and since the universe’s only purpose is to evolve, that is when a life summary will be reviewed to assess what contribution that person made to the common good, not just of the Earth but of the whole.
If the person only had a life of ‘maintenance,’ going to work, cleaning the house, cooking meals, paying bills, and so on, and they managed everything neatly, they will leave this plane with some local recognition and perhaps even be mentioned outside the family circle. However, in terms of the universe’s functioning, the summary of a maintenance’s life can be compared to brushing one’s teeth in the morning. Beyond personal hygiene, it does not add any outstanding value to anyone, much less to the universe.
Consciousness elevation on Earth’s plane helps to gather similar energies that will attract each other due to synchronicity. This begins a process that not only tends to expand but also contributes to the common good, transcends the Earth, and contributes to the universe.
Each person’s purpose is born and dies within them. It is not true that there are group purposes with a leader and followers. The sum of equal’s energies is the basis for growth and expansion; there is no other type of bond. If they exist for other reasons, they are earthly, mundane and we’re back to the beginning as they do not contribute to the whole.
Among leaders and followers are all religions and political parties, for example. How many religious and political leaders have existed throughout history, and right now, as we navigate the 21st century, we can see the results. Complete failure. People still have the same issues as in ancient times, but now we have the internet and artificial intelligence…
We want to colonize the Moon and go to Mars, yet we haven’t resolved the potable water issue (which used to be drinkable in all rivers and streams around the world until we contaminated it). Today, some humans die from hunger, war conflicts, lab-created diseases; need I say more? And we fear extraterrestrials? Total incoherence.
That is not evolution; it is distraction. It is the distraction in political, religious, and economic discussions that keep us in a ‘maintenance’ mode and consume precious time that could be used to evolve.
Each one of us has a clear purpose, we are part of the symphony of the universe, and as we can see, we are playing out of tune and out of score.
We are like adolescents, challenging rules because of our out-of-balance hormones, justifying all the mistakes by blaming who knows who. We’ve been in this stage and looping for quite some time, and the local environment doesn’t help.
We have the innate capacity for change and adaptation, but for that to work, we need to handle detachment. We either do it consciously, or the universe will adjust it for us.
Let’s listen to the music we produce ourselves, not that of those next to us. To do so, we must close our eyes, breathe deeply, and strive to be honest with ourselves. The answer is within us.
Astrology can help us with this change of path or, rather, reality change.
To fly, you must first walk, and from what one sees, as humanity, we are just crawling…
