The Neutrino Weather 5 - 11 April 2024
This week the neutrinos are clicking into different gears. We have a Solar Eclipse coming up on Monday in the 51st gate in the Heart Centre, we still have quite a lot of melancholic positionings forming definition and later in the week Neptune is moving into the 25th gate in the G centre. In this video I’m sharing my musings on this week’s weather with you… enjoy!
Reflection of the week
This week’s Solar Eclipse will take place in Gate 51 of the Heart Centre. It is where we find the strength to adapt and face the unexpectedness of life. It is a gate of competitiveness that imbues our heart with a warrior-like quality that imbues our heart with courage.
The heading speaks of ‘the ability to respond to disorder and shock through recognition and adaptation’ which is a matter of willingness emerging from our hearts and reminds us of the saying ‘Where there is a will there is a way!’
The hexagram’s drawing – Thunder over Thunder – symbolizes thunder echoing through the sky, creating a powerful and dynamic energy. Stagnant energies are jolted into motion and a wake-up call brings both opportunities and challenges. It represents the energy of shock.
When we approach the Heart Centre through the mind, the process of losing contact with our essential nature results in a belief that we are not inherently lovable, valuable, significant, meaningful, or worthwhile. This belief then prompts the mind to engage in various behaviours to prove oneself, often leading to a competitive or defeatist mindsets.
Here, the mind creates a form around our ability to respond to disorder and shock. This can involve exaggerating, proving, or underplaying one’s wilfulness in responding to the challenges of life. The mind’s binary oscillates between extremes such as ‘with everyone but me’ or its opposite, ‘whatever you say’ taking on a competitive or non-competitive stance. One side can manifest as more intimidating, while the other side may look more cowardly. Given the individual nature of this minor circuit we can see the melancholic, disempowered stance of the mind revolving around a lack of excitement.
Osho reminds us how this competitive mindset arising from the mental survival agenda results in suffering and misery:
“If you look at your life, if you watch closely, you will see what a fool you are, what a jerk you are! To live without meditation is to be foolish because whatsoever you do then is going to be wrong. You cannot do right without meditation because right only grows in the soil of meditation. In the soil of the mind’s ambitions, desires arise. And when there is ambition there is competition, and when there is competition, you are not a friend to others. You are an enemy and others are your enemies. The competitive mind lives in an inimical way, lives in hatred, lives in jealousy, its whole function is out of jealousy. And because of this kind of life man suffers, he remains in misery.
Only one who has started living from the centre, who enters into one’s own subjectivity in deep silence, will have happiness showering on him.”
(Osho, The Dhammapada, The Way of the Buddha, Chapter 7)
Another psychological and emotional consequence of a mental approach to dealing with the challenges of life highlights the potential for disassociation, or shock, instead of adaptative responses. Such a disconnect from one’s essential nature can hinder an effective coping with life’s situations and undermines emotional connection.
Approached with awareness, though, this energetic outlet is not about a competitive mindset but rather about aligning our intelligence with Existence and creating through it.
It is about our creative genius and the positive and constructive use of our unique life force to respond and adapt. It is the courage to stand up for our uniqueness and its intelligence. It is the courage to be exactly what our consciousness guides us to be.
So, this week, on Monday, let’s take the time to contemplate on this positioning of the Sun and Moon in the fifth line of the 51st gate and take the opportunity to tap into our creative and adaptative genius!
