Wtf! Is going on in this world right now? The seasonal evolutionary heat is on. Turned up so high our outer and the inner realities are synchronized in perfect accelerated chaos for nearly everything and everyone. It’s like hell and heaven existing in the same point of time and space dancing some crazy-assed prophesied evolutionary floor-stomping salsa.

The unfolding absurd events of the moment seem to be reversing in strangely hypocritical jaw-dropping proclamations. Lines are now blurred. Left-right, victim-perpetrator, winner-loser — who is which? It’s a real yin-yang tango. But this blinking of reality, this mirror of opposites becoming the other is how consciousness evolves to dissolve addiction to outdated ideals of solidity and bring more joyful and adaptable states of being. This shifting of ground, of doubting what we count on as secure is a seasonal evolutionary act of deep cosmic nature moving as She does. So everything we know is turning into something else. Transformation is no joke.

Here is the RX. To our inner selves, we pay close attention to signals from our bodies and act in our physical best interest. We watch our emotional reactions, track our mental addictions and take stock of our spiritual yearnings. Every day take small changes to nourish these parts of self. Ask yourself what is serving your highest good and then tend to yourself with the same care you give to your children, pets, plants and relationships. Art, dance, journaling, napping, walking in nature, meditation and finding ways to laugh and play are keys to keeping your energy replenished.

As far as the outer collective reality of media, political and global pandemonium urgently grasping for our attention that keeps us traumatized and suspended in debilitated fear states — take it in small sips. Stay on your eagle’s perch of objective awareness. Act deliberately where you are called, but remember the cacophonous clown car world drama doesn’t define us. We are spiritual beings, much bigger and more connected to the divine power of nature than we have been told. Live in the world, but not of it, as my spiritual teacher used to teach. You are much grander than this nonsensical narrative and your wisdom is needed.

Blessings to all sentient beings, ancestors, beloved dead and planetary and cosmic relations. May we grow in accordance with our highest spirit and share our light with the world. Namaste from the Blue Dog Temple.
