Thinking about Mercury these days.

Mercury is a psychopomp; a Soul’s (psycho) + Guide (pompos/pomp). He is known as one who can travel between the lands; of the gods, of humans, of the underworld, and all others as well.

Mercury symbolizes the capacity to communicate between instinct, subconscious, conscious, and spirit, and beyond. Mercury is, in other words, quite at home in the world of subliminals.

Many times over the years, I’ve noticed a patient slowness to certain aspects of my mind’s functioning. I like fast movement, but I like slow change. An odd thing to say, but, so what, it’s true.

My planetary placement for Mercury is Taurus. And when I thought about that, some of my experiences over the years made more sense to me.

I’m thinking about Mercury in general as one potentially significant guide for how we process learning, information, experiences, and, yes, of course, for how we process subliminals.

There’s probably quite a bit of useful insight to be gleaned by reflecting on your Mercury placement.

Serving truth or serving lies has more to do with where you direct people’s attention than it does with the simple stating of facts.

When accurate facts are used to misdirect others’ attention from what is salient and important, then the truth can be said to serve lies.

Once you get done serving Ego and being a slave to Ego - I’ve got to win at all costs!

And once you get done cursing and rejecting the Ego - I can’t believe ‘they’ tricked me into playing that game that I didn’t even choose!

Then you can start to appreciate and befriend Ego, realizing that it’s one of the most fascinating phenomena you could ever investigate and explore - What an excellent vehicle for navigating Society and the world! I can drive it to my destinations, and then, whenever I’m not using it, I can get out.

What did you have in mind for alternative listening guidelines? I find it really interesting the diversity of everyone’s listening patterns on here.

I considered shortening the listening period and increasing the processing days. That would be my version of ‘microloops’: Microperiods.

Right now, I’m on a somewhat extended washout. I’m in the middle of a work task that’ll occupy the next 2 weeks or so. I’ve set the completion of this task as the boundary of my washout. Maybe that’ll give give me a bit more incentive to finish this task sooner.

I’ll see what approach I’ll take once I resume listening again in January.

You’ve got to understand how statistical averages and normal distributions work.

They’re describing average people trying to get average shit.

So, if that’s what you aspire to be, then go ahead and judge yourself by the standards of statistical norms. I’m this height. I’m this weight. I’ve got this salary. And so on and so on.

But as soon as you orient yourself to something other than what’s average, those numbers and charts don’t quite mean the same things for you anymore. It’s not that they’re meaningless or that they don’t matter. Sure they do. But they don’t accurately draw and describe the trajectory of your life.

To me, that sounds appealing.

She’s pretty?

That’s nice.

How does this pretty woman treat people?

That’s what you’re going to be left with.

Stop “being impressed with it” and start understanding it.

Ask. Explore. Study.

I’ve been noticing something lately (over the past 1 to 2 or 3 months), and it just hit me that it’s probably a Khan Black result. (Supported by Revelation of Spirit, I’d guess.)

I’ve been feeling more directly connected to people, and a deeper sense of care and openness. They’re living a little bit more deeply inside me and my mind.

Sexual energetic connection, though not about the ‘sex’ act.

Sensations and perceptions are mental patterns formed within and formed of the medium of consciousness.

We like to pretend that they’re Reality.

We’re equal-parts comforted and frustrated when those patterns seem to be stable, consistent, persistent.

When we feel too in touch with their stability, we generate oppressive frustration and attempt to destabilize them.

When we feel too aware of their instability, we generate fear and attempt to whip them into order

Fact of the Day…

Insight isn’t a new intellectual understanding and insight isn’t belief. Insight is an ‘inner-sight’ that changes the perspective from where we view something. When true insight is developed then our point of reference for knowledge of self is adjusted.

If you’re used to blaming other people for everything, then you’re carrying around a very big blind spot that is the exact size and shape of yourself.

Don’t just question what is before you

Question what is behind you

Beneath you

Within you

Around you

Eventually we must recognize that the root miracle, and the fundamental mystery, is nothing more and nothing less than existence itself.
