The moon is a feminine symbol, universally representing the rhythm of time as it embodies the cycle. The phases of the moon symbolize immortality and eternity, enlightenment or the dark side of Nature herself. It might reflect inner knowledge, or the phases of man's condition on earth, since it controls the tides, the rains, the waters, and the seasons. It is the middle ground between the light of the sun and the darkness of night, and thus often represents the realm between the conscious and the unconscious. In astrology, the moon is a symbol of the soul, and in the horoscope it determines the subject's capacity for reflection and adaptation. It also provides analogy for the stages of human development: the new moon is infancy, the crescent is youth and adolescence, the full moon is maturity and pregnancy, and the waning moon represents the decline of life, sleep.
Jason Silva's Existential Bummer
"Man is literally split in two: he has an awareness of his own splendid uniqueness in that he sticks out of nature with a towering majesty, and yet he goes back into the ground a few feet in order blindly and dumbly to rot and disappear forever"
-Ernest Becker
The Purpose of Life is not to Transcend the body, but to Embody the Transcendent.

New Moon Rising: Sacred Sound Vortex

For the October 30th New Moon Ceremony, we are in Sagittarius, which is associated with freedom and spontaneity. Our ceremony will begin with a group blessing, grounding meditation, and setting intention to align with the energy of the dormant new moon, for generating increased capacity toward embodying our divine freedom, as well as letting go of doubts and inspiring spontaneous intuition in our lives. After preparing the body and mind with movement, a sound healing ceremony will begin with a variety of beautiful sacred sounds, where you will be guided to relax and experience the elevated vibrations we will be creating together. It is recommended you bring your own mat, blankets, and pillows to maximize your relaxation. Please sign up in advance online! Due to popular demand, spaces fill quickly. :-)

Weekly Foresight
Here is brother Kaypacha sharing his views, astrological insights and guidance for this week…
Mantra:
“It’s time to forge relationship,
As hard as that can be,
For the Other will test and prod and push,
That my truth I may clearly see.”
He says:
“Jupiter in Libra is calling for social justice, while Saturn/Mercury in Sag, (soon to be joined by the Sun) is demanding the truth.
“The only hitch is the chaos being revealed from deep within the reservoir of the collective unconscious releasing all the illusions, injustices, and BS from thousands of years of His-story.
“It is our closest relationships that can help us sort out the propaganda from within and without in our search for what ‘should be’ self-evident truth. What a merry-go-round!
“Wishing you the best as you hang in there, deal with the uneasiness and the challenge of direct communication to uncover new truths about yourself, your soul, and Its purpose. Injoy!
