Between the poles of the conscious and the unconscious, there has the mind made a swing: thereon hang all beings and all worlds and that swing never ceases its sway. Millions of beings are there: the sun and the moon in their courses are there: millions of ages pass and the swing goes on. All swing! The sky and the earth and the air and the water and the Lord Himself taking form: and the sight of this has made Kabîr a servant.
Sant Kabir’s words take my breath away. His poem puts things into perspective and brings us to the realization that whatever our present day troubles and concerns are, they are fleeting ripples in the sands of time. As the great poet William Blake penned, “Eternity is ever in love with the products of time.”
We won’t be able to measure the impact of the radioactive material being dumped into the ocean for a while, but we do know the outcome cannot be good. It may very well change the course of our lives and the planetary indicators are saying the same thing.
Regardless of how much we acquire, it is never enough. Greed, lust, anger, ego and pride trip us up all along the way. Soon, we will grow weary and we will have had enough of this hectic and stressful lifestyle. Neptune has just commenced his 15-year journey through his own sign Pisces and is a harbinger of a spiritual awakening. The negative connotation is within the realm of any form of escapism, such as drugs and other forms of addictions. The positive side of this Neptune transit is that it will open our eyes and hearts to humanity’s sufferings. Our yearning for peace and love will increase and we will long for the day in which we rest our head in the lap of the creator. We have all the technology in the world to stay in touch with each other, yet we confoundedly fail miserably at it. We have not figured out or come to the realization that we are one people on one planet. Instead, we continue sabre rattling, strutting and showing off our powers to annihilate one another. Well, we sure showed those guys, didn’t we?
The short of it is there will be no rest and then we’re put to rest and the cycle of awagawan continues throughout time. Awagawan is a term describing the transmigration of the souls through the myriad 8,400,000 species, called the cycle of “84.” Only love will do.
