ESOTERICA—Earth day is Everyday

Michelle Lea McCann

It is important to remember this: although humans have destroyed much of Earth, she has been in a constant state of self-repair. She is infinite and ascending, with or without us, To think we are powerful enough to kill her off first is ridiculous. The Earth will take care of herself. She loves no one creature, sentient or otherwise, more or less—this is why we have to for-give. Give for her, give gratitude and love, to be better able to carry on.

Since the return of the Divine Feminine, all the humans are treating her with the respect and love she has given us. It is a balancing time. With all the hits Earth has taken, a tsunami, earthquake, or flood seems a small punishment for the reckless, irresponsible children we have been. To make a mockery of the gifts that are ours, thinking we could create nature by destroying it, is heinous. People who keep the old energy of greed are lost in finite delusions based on gain without balance. Those who insist on lounging in the old energy of duality will perish.

The Earth has been steeped in a dense third-dimensional illusion of reality which we humans created. It’s time to move into a perspective of unity and oneness, with mastery of the Now. In the Now, there is no duality; in the infinite love that Mother Earth gives us, there is no duality. It is only man and woman who de-sided. In the Now, as above, so below; as within, so without.  Stop de-siding and get on the side that’s winning. There is no debate anymore about whether we have to smarten up.

ESOTERICA–All Fired Up

by Michelle Lea McCann

How does one pay homage to the most dynamic of elements? 

“FIRE!!”, “You’re fired!” “Fire it up!” “It’s so hot, I’m on fire” Clearly we fear and respect the word even before we know its story. 

 Let’s light up the fire signs for a moment.  We’ll refer to the element to understand the signs, and the signs in turn will help us understand the element. 

 Each of the three fire signs holds a unique, fiery energy. Aries (a cardinal sign) is the first fire sign on the wheel, ruled by Mars, the “fiery planet”. 
'Leo, the second (fixed) fire sign, is ruled by the Sun, our fiery centre, our source—we all benefit from this luminary, whether we have our sun position in Leo or not.  Sagittarius (a mutable sign), ruled by benevolent Jupiter, is the last of the fire signs on the astrological wheel.

 If you remember someone you know who is an Aries, Leo or Sagittarius you may be having some revelations here. A great many innovative actors, entertainers, and inventors are born under one of these three signs. They’re, well, metaphorically on fire; so sometimes, taming the flame may be an issue; a person could be consumed by any of these passionate creatures. Aries is an explosive but innocent fire, quick to heat, but also quick to cool.  Leo is a magnanimous though self-centered fire. Sagittarius is a complex fire: they’ll argue this, but Sagittarius can be the most dangerous.  Their self-aware fire has its eyes on the horizon. Noam Chomsky is a perfect example of Sagittarian grace under fire. Look him up.

In many ways, with the fire signs, as with fire itself, one must manipulate and even capitulate to get what one needs. Just as with fire, the cost of disrespect can be extreme.

 Capitulate: to surrender, especially under agreed conditions.

H2O: Acronym for "Happy to Oblige?"

Take one part hydrogen and two parts oxygen—what you get is the vessel through which all life flows. Water puts out fire; makes earth mud. The airy element becomes mist or rain.

Water is life or death, the most powerful element, so versatile yet so fragile. This element founds all that is, as manifested in fountains for drinking, viewing, hearing and the healthful negative ions it adds to the atmosphere. For therapy, value steam caves, or take a simple facial when you open the dishwasher and enjoy its sterilizing steam. Water is the cooler of beverages and preserves food and resources by merely lowering the surrounding temperature.

At 0° Celsius, water becomes a solid; at 99.97° a cooking and sterilizing agent. Water as steam powers vehicles—this is the power of water. Our bodies are made up of approximately 80% water, the hydrator and quencher of thirst. In the last twenty years, it has taken over as the #1 choice of beverage—it’s what your body wants most. Our precious oceans our lakes are not to be taken for granted or abused.

Although Water seems moody under the influence of gravitational forces, in its crystalline structure, it is an accurate and beautiful holder of information. Yet Water seems sensitive to the positive or negative influences of the collective unconscious. Dr. Masaru Emoto (author of Messages in Water) has found that when water is blessed by a Zen Buddhist monk, and then frozen, in a laboratory, it creates surreal shapes, “snowflake-like” in appearance, which can only be described as of breathtaking beauty. In contrast, if the water is subject to negative words and threats, the shapes resemble cancer cells under a microscope. Dr. Emoto is continuing his research on the power of water and its ability to store and respond to information.
