An optical illusion reveals perception to be a mutable force in our lives.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As usual, there are some excellent correspondences happening in the heavens to go right along with the happenings here on Earth. There are a few outer planets pushing heavy energy out into our consciousness. I would hardly recommend sleeping late at this stage of the game, especially with Neptune having stationed direct last week (November 2 to be exact). Jupiter and Chiron are planning a little get-together with old Neptune soon and I can tell you, it&#8217;s going to be a lively gig. This occurs in late May 2009, but it has been building for years.<\/p>\n<p>There are two kinds of people in the world today: those who are psychic and those who are more psychic. Okay, there are a few lizard brains who are totally, utterly shut down; the idea of communication happening &#8220;without the body&#8221; is too much for some to bear.<\/p>\n<p>One way to describe psychism is a different state of awareness in which a person experiences reality as a thin film over a multitude of possibilities. It is like walking through a forest, and seeing the tracks of an animal that was once walking before you with the corners of your vision. In states such as this, it is easy to see that the future is always on its way. It is the decisions we make in the present sense that bring us to the future.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The past has its role to play  as well: it is through former experiences, past lives, past personas, and memory that we become the people we are. Yet isn&#8217;t it strange to think that even those things are mutable? Reality&#8217;s flexibility extends through all sections of time and space. It took me a few doses of various hallucinogenics to understand this, but after seeing reality uncoil and waver before my eyes for the fifth time, I could honestly say, &#8220;I got it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one vision of the upcoming conjunction: reality as dictated by group perception; and the individual struggle to find one&#8217;s own perception. With Chiron in there, it&#8217;s very much NOT going to be about what everyone else around you thinks. Rather, Jupiter and Neptune will be working together to melt, dissolve or explode many barriers that have kept us under the spell of the shy, shade-drawing, online-petition-signing activists many of us have gotten comfortable becoming.<\/p>\n<p>I woke up in the middle of the night last night with a feeling like I was ready to run a marathon. My body, my thighs in particular, were tingling as though there was all this electrical energy in there, waiting to be released. I don&#8217;t know if I want to understand exactly where the wellspring is coming from. It is a welcome burst of optimism in the brisk morning air that I smell. I haven&#8217;t been listening to the news as much because I sense a time to withdraw my energy before the triathlon\/migration\/gala begins.<\/p>\n<p>Life often feels like an illusion, and reveals itself as such, and this is where Neptune becomes the most apparent. At its best, Neptune is about love and peace and the compassion that dissolves the barriers between villain and hero, right and wrong. And it is also about the power of the imagination, which is a real thing. It might not have the same power as a slap in the face, but it has the same power as the truth when you hear it, or grief when you let it descend. We are in that rare space of time where we can imagine something, and it can come true. What a wonderful time indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Merry Met,<\/p>\n<p>Genevieve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friend and Reader, WE&#8217;VE BEGUN WORK on Next World Stories, the 2008 annual edition of Planet Waves.
