Life is a Battlefield and How to win this Battle
Life is a Battlefield and How to win this Battle
As Paramahansa Yogananda, the Indian guru, said, “Life is a battlefield.” The ultimate advice to the soldier on the “battle field of life” comes from Krishna to Arjuna in the Bhagavad-Gita, when He said:
“Therefore, Arjuna, you should always think of Me and at the same time carry out your prescribed duty of fighting. With your activities dedicated to Me and your mind and intelligence fixed on Me, you will attain Me without doubt.”
Life is indeed a battlefield because we have to battle the forces of the lower self and negative ego within and without. We have to battle the forces of the media which is constantly trying to grab our attention with gossip and sensationalism, we have to battle the forces of commercials and TV which are constantly trying to sell us lower self addictions and consciousness, and we have to battle all the people in our lives that drag us down if we are not careful. And last but certainly not least, we have to battle our own negative ego, negative thoughts, feelings, emotions and energies! So life is indeed a battlefield!
And the only way to ever and truly win this battle is by keeping our mind, intelligence and activities fixed on God/ Brahma/ Allah/ Dharmakaya/ The I AM THAT I AM.
The way to live in this world and win this battle is to live a life of sustained meditation. It is to focus our mind, consciousness and activities on Spirit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. This is a prerequisite to becoming a living Integrated Ascended Master in this world!
The Integrated Ascended Master masters every battle in life by staying attuned to the God Self within.

Mercury Return,Carol Anne Ciocco
Mercury Return
Tree limbs rise and fall like ecstatic arms. Leaf sounds talk together like poets making fresh metaphors. ~ Rumi
At the water's edge, the same veined leaf returns, back and forth. - @semaphore
Today, September 12, Mercury stations direct. (There is much rejoicing in the land:) This means that in a few days we will have a more forward-moving feel to life. Mercury Retrograde at the end of the summer of the Cardinal Cross offered an opportunity to take a break and review. The problem is, not only is September a *new beginning* time, but the Cardinal Cross provides an incessant urging toward action. Mercury Retro just sorta through a monkey wrench or two into action-taking for some. So we might have felt like we had one foot on the gas, one foot on the brake. Stop - Go - Stop - Go. Luckily that will be shifting out now.
Just a heads-up in reference to the astrological landscape of this fall. I recommend that we move forward with our projects (as best we can against a chaotic backdrop) between now and December 10, with a special eye to Thanksgiving weekend as far as culminating what we start now.
This is because Mercury will go Retrograde (yes, again) on December 10. It will then go direct on December 30, and a new beginning will dovetail with the well-known Gregorian New Year-New You in January. So, this year, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah and New Years are an invitation to take a holiday in a true sense. Don't expect to get much done between December 10 and 30. This is often true every year but more so this year due to astrological patterns.
P.S. see below for information on Venus Retrograde which adds a twist to this.
Cardinal Cross Culmination
The equinox is when the Sun is balanced in all four directions, between North and South, East and West - and Heaven and Earth. - Aluna Joy
During the days surrounding the equinox in March and in September the axis of the earth neither tilts towards, nor away from, the Sun. - wiki
The Cardinal Cross has now been set in motion and it will reverberate into time and space for literally decades to come. Like the ripple from a pebble thrown into the lake of consciousness and human events - it will live on, perhaps forever. (To read about the Cardinal Cross in more detail click here to read my newsletter on the subject: http://conta.cc/9r1Pu3)
The Cardinal Cross is a throw-down to you, to me, and to all humans in these pivotal times. We leap the divide between ages - and the divide between 26,000-year cycles - we have to decide collectively what we want the new cycle to be like. Your own personal decision contributes. Turn the Wheel.
The Cardinal Cross ascends. It is no longer mundane and visceral as it was this summer. Now it is the Galactic Cross. Now it is the Cross of the Turning of the Ages. As such it's indelible etheric imprint will be activated at every Equinox and Solstice from here on in.
But this particular Equinox - falling so close to the perfected Cross events of July and August - is especially loaded with its energies (just as the Summer Solstice was back in June as the Cross was building to it's click-point).
The Cross is activated by the Full Harvest Moon on September 23 and this closes the portal of the Cardinal Cross Eclipse Summer of 2010. The CARDINAL CROSS says to The FULL MOON: YOU COMPLETE ME.
The Full Moon of September 23 (see below for info on the Full Harvest Moon) will be right next to Uranus and Jupiter on the Aries cusp of the Cross. The moon will be opposite the Equinox sun (which is always at Zero Libra) and the planet Saturn is at that same point, Zero Libra. Intense Pluto will be at a 90* angle to this Full Moon.
In general the Equinox is about balance; and the Full Havest Moon of September is about gathering and winnowing. Falling within hours of each other, and with the heavy star-crossed planets of Saturn, Pluto and Uranus involved -- we will feel the heat of the Cross again, this time with a mandate of balancing and letting go. The action required of the Cross is being delayed due to our old baggage. Time to jettison it and balance our consciousness. (See below for more info.)
September 22: Autumnal Equinox
You're what the autumn knew would happen / after the last collapse / of primary colour / once the last absolutes were torn to pieces / you could begin. // How you broke open, what sheathed you / until this moment / you amaze me / now that I watch you / starting to give yourself / away to the wind. - Adrienne Rich
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun. But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone. - Terry Jacks, "Seasons in the Sun"
The Autumn Equinox occurs at 11:09pm on Wednesday September 22. The Equinoxes are the seasonal time of balance and harmony when the days and nights are equal in length.
The Equinoxes are also a scientifically-provable doorway or opening of the magnetic field of Earth. Twice each year, at the Equinoxes, the Sun rises and sets exactly over the equator, tracking exactly due East and due West, no matter where you are on earth. The Equinox Solar Effect produces a reduction in the magnetic field of the Earth, providing easier access to other dimensions, beginning around 24 hours before, and ending around 24 hours after the exact Equinox point.
It is as if the thick veils between earth and dimensions beyond the physical become their thinnest, and a Threshold forms. It is a Magnetic Threshold, charged and pulsing with energy as the walls of density collapse.
Sacred sites such as Chaco Canyon in the American Southwest and the Mayan temple complex at Chichen Itza are examples of ancient sites that were built specifically to capture the light at the time of the Equinox. The ancients had clear knowing of the importance of this bi-annual collapse in the magnetic field of earth. A time to collapse our own conscious boundaries and listen for messages - or send messages of our own through the opening. Equinoxes are a powerful time for doing ceremonial activations at sacred sites or anywhere you happen to be.
The theme for the Equinox is balance, in every sense of the word. The Spring Equinox is about balance as well, but it is different in tone from the Fall Equinox.
In the Spring we are heady with the vibrant lifeforce energy - dormant for months - now pulsing from the earth. We seek balance in how we plant our seeds, how we visualize our game plan to make hay while the sun shines in the spring and summer.
At the Fall Equinox, we seek the balance of discernment as we look back on how the seeds we planted at the Spring Equinox have grown. Have they produced fruit? Was the full bloom what we intended? What do we need to tweak in our process for next year's planting season? We may need to abandon certain projects, realizing that they died on the vine or perhaps the fruit is bitter. Perhaps we have changed so much since the spring (which, with the Cardinal Cross, we certainly have) that our perfectly blossomed flowers and delicious fruit are no longer what we truly desire.
In addition, this Autumn Equinox has special energies on a galactic level:
"The Zero Libra point marking the Autumnal Equinox is currently aligned with the North Galactic Pole. The North Galactic Pole lies 90 degrees north of the Galactic Plane in the constellation of Coma Berenices. Astronomers consider this region of the sky to be one of the best for studying other galaxies, because the conditions here are favorable for seeing beyond our galaxy. When the Solar Gates (in this case Equinoxes) align with the galactic poles, an intergalactic doorway is opened. This Timing allows for easier access to the intergalactic energy codes coming in through this doorway via the Sun. We can maximize this Timing by choosing to anchor the incoming energy codes of love and light that are intended to assist us and the Earth in the ascension process." - Cayelin Castell
September 23: Full Harvest Moon
Each fall the trees "sacrifice" their leaves. They let them fall to the ground to be recycled. Trees benefit greatly from this "sacrifice." - @Share_This
We have to break the code of mind and free ourselves from thoughts. Wind outside rustles branches. Candle inside is still. - @LaughingBaba
The Full Harvest Moon occurs on Thursday September 23 at 5:17am EDT. The Full Harvest Moon is a sight to behold and it's shimmering light brings abundance, grace and holiness - blessings flowing out to us 100 fold.
At the December Winter Solstice, within the darkness of the womb of creation we gestated unformed intent - dreaming of the upcoming growing season. At the Spring Equinox in March the seeds became formed and were planted in fresh soil. Now, nine months later in September, we gather our harvest.
From this point on, we rush to the dieing, to the point of Winter Solstice No-Light which will be the womb of a higher octave of creation at the next Spring Equinox.
Our ancestors were often frantic in their efforts to bring in the harvest before winter arrived. Without electric lights as we have, the Harvest Moon was the one night during peak harvest when the fields were lit up as if it was daytime. The people labored anxiously to store up as much food as they could for winter. In modern times, we know that winter is always followed by spring, we know that the seeming disappearance of light at the Solstice is not permanent. But the ancients were never quite sure and the winters were harsh. Many wouldn't survive.
The racial memory of this time of preparation gives fall a bittersweet quality. If we are tuning in we might even sense our own mortality. Many people have a fear of winter, and dread the darkness of the short days. So as we frolic in the fall, the exquisite beauty of the dieing leaves reminds us that fierce beauty lives alongside loss, darkness and death.
"We are witnessing a swan song of unparalleled brilliance and beauty, a last hurrah before the world falls asleep and gathers its energies for the year to come. Across the years, we join hands and nod to each other in greeting, ancestors and moderns moving to shared and timeless rhythms in the great dance of time." - Catherine Kerr
So: tend to the harvest and seek to bring your inner and outer lives into balance.
Reviewing our actions is an ideal exercise at this time of year. Where did we miss the mark of our ideals for our own behavior? Do we need to forgive ourselves? Do we need to forgive each other?
Forgiveness involves letting go. It can be difficult to let go of past hurts. Many of us may have been stimulated to anger by the strong war-like Aries energy that is a part of the Cardinal Cross. I have found this affirmation from Doreen Virtue to be especially helpful when dealing with anger:
"I am willing to let go of that part of me which angers me when I think of you."
We can substitute any other negative emotion for the word "angers" : the part of me which is frightened when I think of you; the part of me which feels shameful when I think of you. The part of me which is resentful when I think of you.
It's time to let go and bring our consciousness into balance, not weighed down with heavy emotions that lower our vibration, prevent us from living love and compassion, and block our evolution and enlightenment.The journey of letting go is always a work in progress, but the seasonal energies of this time of year support the process if we are willing to let go in this now.
Venus Retrograde
All the hate being spewed into the world right now is self hatred that refuses to recognize itself. - Christine DeLorey
Our deepest fears are like dragons guarding our deepest treasure. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Above I mentioned that *systems are go* from now until about December 10. Well, Venus does complicate things a bit on this front, as it will be retrograde from October 8 to November 18.
Venus went into Scorpio on September 8, 2010 and, except for a brief retrograde retracing into Libra, Venus will be in Scorpio until January 13, 2011.
Venus Retrograde lasts for approximately "40 days and 40 nights". And the Venus Retrograde period is a very significant cycle: Venus retrogrades approximately every eighteen months and has one of the rarest retrograde cycles, retreating only 10% of the time (as compared to Pluto which retrogrades about 40% of the time).
So from October 8 - November 18 we are revisiting Venusian issues of LOVE, MONEY and VALUE, the triple energy signature of Venus. Venus is the quintessential feminine in all her faces and forms, representing love, art and beauty. Because Venus is associated with Taurus in astrology, Venus also embodies our values, how much we value ourselves, our money (i.e. our valuables) and how we handle our resources.
Venus Retrograde is a good time to release what simply has no value to you.
Self-esteem and net worth, as well as our heart's desire (both in life and in love) will be on the docket pretty much through the end of the year.
With Venus in the intense sign of SCORPIO we will be going very, very deep (into our own personal underworld) during this time. Obsessive relationships. Self-hatred. Using money to control people, or being controlled by money. How we work with joint finances, dealing with inheritance/estate issues. The desire for intense sexual relationships where we merge and raise powerful spiritual (kundalini) energies.
The ubiquitous vampire movies and books of late fit perfectly with the theme of Venus in Scorpio. Is that the kind of relationship you want? If so, why? Look at your deepest darkest motives and be honest with yourself. Also check to see if there are any *psychic vampires* in your life.
The goddess that applies here is the powerful *dark* goddess: Creator-Destroyers Kali and Pele, the mystical Dark Madonna, the goddess of the crossroads and 'tween times - Hecate, and the goddess of kundalini and shamanistic sexual connections, Shakti.
We will be wading into parts of our subconscious that we rarely visit. A femme fatale may visit you, or you may become a femme fatale who visits others. This Halloween is an especially good time to get your vamp on!
When Venus re-emerges from her retrograde passage in January, we will begin a new Venus cycle. Mercury will also be completely out of its December retrograde period then and the energy will lighten up.
So this fall it's not necessary that you hold back on your projects but I do recommend that you meditate on the issues of love, relationship, money, values, resources. Especially revisit your investments (or lack thereof) in GOLD as Scorpio (Pluto) is associated with gold and with all treasures that come from deep within the earth. Where does your treasure lie? Are you willing to visit dark spaces, to dig in the dirt, to get it?
Winter Solstice Full Moon Eclipse
Just briefly: coming up in December we have a signnificant astrological event capping off the year 2010: we will have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the exact day of the Winter Solstice. This combination is the crown on a year of intensity and change.
So, just as this month's Autumn Equinox is amplified by the Full Harvest Moon falling within about 6 hours, so our Winter Solstice will be amplified by an Eclipse falling within 3 hours!
As described above, the Solstices and Equinoxes - 2 of each happening every year - will be eternal touch-flames to the Cardinal Cross. This Winter Solstice, the first after the Cardinal Cross perfected in the summer, will be eclipsed and heightened. More to come on the eclipse as it approaches.

So, just as this month's Autumn Equinox is amplified by the Full Harvest Moon falling within about 6 hours, so our Winter Solstice will be amplified by an Eclipse falling within 3 hours!
As described above, the Solstices and Equinoxes - 2 of each happening every year - will be eternal touch-flames to the Cardinal Cross. This Winter Solstice, the first after the Cardinal Cross perfected in the summer, will be eclipsed and heightened. More to come on the eclipse as it approaches.

The Lunar Month of September 8, 2010 - October 7, 2010
Creative Energy Must Express &
The Earth-Jupiter-Uranus Synodic Synchronization
Lunar Planner Synopsis
Our New Moon of September 8, 2010 occurs in sidereal Leo and conjoins fiery and expressive Mizar of the Great Bear (Ursa Major), with adjoining Alcor, also of the Bear; and a dynamic Seyfert Galaxy in Canes Venatici. This is a windy and fiery area of the zodiak, one that can stimulate dynamic creative expression. Mizar of the Great Bear, the overseeing and predominant star, articulates raw fiery energy that must express one way or another. Mizar must have a creative outlet, but for its proper expression, we must apply it with creative vision. Mizar brings attention to use of our creative energies; creative and destructive tendencies, and the fear to create lest it may result in destruction. Here we learn the nature of such volatile forces. Mizar, with averted alignments is also known for catastrophic fires or massacres. Mizar can however express quite artistically--just as gunpowder can express as beautiful fireworks or devastating explosions. The expression of Mizar tends to express in a grand way, in character with showy and dramatic Leo.
This lunar cycle may stimulate expansive, radical, and perhaps spontaneous change. It should shift the emphasis from what has been a challenging and strenuous time to one of refreshing movement and expansion.
This lunar cycle also embodies the "Earth-Jupiter-Uranus Synodic Synchronization" (the alignment of the Sun, Earth, Jupiter, and Uranus); occurring on the Full Moon Equinox. Jupiter and Uranus began their (geocentric) conjunction in June of 2010 and which continues into January of 2011. The Jupiter-Uranus synodic (heliocentric) conjunction, occurring now, in September, marks the ending of the previous 13.5-year Jupiter-Uranus synodic cycle, which began in March of 1997. It also marks the beginning of a new 13.5-year cycle, with an entirely new theme....

"The Wisdom Teachings of the Ancient Incas"
"The Wisdom Teachings of the Ancient Incas"
The light of idealism gleamed in his eyes as Dr. Alberto Villoldo described how an earthquake in 1949 underneath a monastery near Cuzco, Peru, had rent the ground asunder, exposing an ancient Incan temple of gold. This fulfilled a sign that the prophecies of Mosoq, the "time to come," were now to be shared with the modern world.
Dr. Villoldo, a psychologist and medicinal anthropologist, has lived among and trained with the Q'ero shamans and has played a key role in bringing their ritual and prophecy to the awareness of the modern world. The Q'ero are the last of the Incas - a tribe of 600 who sought refuge at altitudes above 14,000 feet in order to escape the conquering conquistadors. For 500 years the Q'ero elders have preserved a sacred prophecy of a great change, or "pachacuti," in which the world would be turned right-side-up, harmony and order would be restored, and chaos and disorder ended.
The Q'ero had lived in their villages high in the Andes in virtual solitude from the world until their "discovery" in 1949. In that year, Oscar Nuñez del Prado, an anthropologist, was at a festival in Paucartambo, in southern Peru, when he met two Indians speaking fluent Quecha, the language of the Incas. The first Western expedition to the Q'ero villages then occurred in 1955.
Four years later, at the annual Feast of The Return of the Pleiadestaking place in the Andes, the gathering of 70,000 pilgrims from South America were awed, and the crowd parted to let the Q'ero, unannounced and wearing the Incan emblem of the sun, make their way forward to the mountain top to make known that the time of the prophecies was at hand.
They were welcomed by the assembly and were told,
"We've been waiting for you for 500 years."
Recently, Q'ero elders journeyed to North America in fulfillment of their prophecies.
In November 1996, a small group of Q'ero, including the tribal leader and the head shaman, visited several cities in the US, including New York, where they performed a private ceremony at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
The shamanic ritual had not been performed for 500 years. But in the very home of those who symbolized the former conquerors of their Incan ancestors they shared their ritual and knowledge, not only with interested Westerners who were learning their ways, but also with the Dean of the great cathedral, thereby symbolically and spiritually linking the two continents of North and South America.
According to ancient prophecy, this is the time of the great gathering called the "mastay" and reintegration of the peoples of the four directions.
The Q'ero are releasing their teachings to the West, in preparation for the day the Eagle of the North and the Condor of the South (the Americas) fly together again.
They believe that "munay,"
love and compassion,
will be the guiding force of this great
gathering of the peoples.
"The new caretakers of the Earth will come from the West, and those that have made the greatest impact on Mother Earth now have the moral responsibility to remake their relationship with Her, after remaking themselves," said Don Antonio Morales, a master Q'ero shaman.
The prophecy holds that,
· North America will supply the physical strength, or body
· Europe will supply the mental aspect, or head
· and the heart will be supplied by South America
When the Spanish conquered the Incas 500 years ago, the last pachacuti, or great change, occurred. The Q'ero have been waiting ever since for the next pachacuti, when order would emerge out of chaos.
For the past five centuries they preserved their sacred knowledge, and finally, in recent years, the signs were fulfilled that the great time of change was at hand:
· the high mountain lagoons have dried
· the condor is nearly extinct
· and the discovery of the Golden Temple has occurred, following the earthquake in 1949 which represented the wrath of the sun
The prophecies are optimistic. They refer to the end of time as we know it - the death of a way of thinking and a way of being, the end of a way of relating to nature and to the earth.
In the coming years, the Incas expect us to emerge into a golden age, a golden millennium of peace. The prophecies also speak of tumultuous changes happening in the earth, and in our psyche, redefining our relationships and spirituality. The next pachacuti, or great change, has already begun, and it promises the emergence of a new human after this period of turmoil. The chaos and upheaval characteristic of this period will last another four years, according to the Q'ero.
The paradigm of European civilization will continue to collapse, and the way of the Earth people will return. Even more importantly, the shamanic elders speak about a tear in the fabric of time itself. This presents an opportunity for us to describe ourselves not as who we have been in the past but as who we are becoming.
Pachacuti also refers to a great Incan leader who lived in the late 1300s. He is said to have built Machu Picchu and was the architect of an empire the size of the US.
For the Incas, Pachacuti is a spiritual prototype - a Master, a luminous one who stepped outside of time. He was a messiah, but not in the Christian sense of the only son of God, beyond the reach of humanity. Rather he is viewed as a symbol and promise of who we all might become. He embodies the essence of the prophecies of the pachacuti, as Pacha means "earth" or "time," and cuti means "to set things right."
His name also means "transformer of the earth."
The prophecies of the pachacuti are known throughout the Andes. There are those who believe the prophecies refer to the return of the leader Pachacuti to defeat those who took the Incas' land.
But according to Dr. Villoldo, the return of Pachacuti is taking place on the collective level.
"It's not the return of a single individual who embodies what we're becoming, but a process of emergence available to all peoples."
The Q'ero have served as the caretakers of the rites and prophecies of their Inca ancestors.
The prophecies are of no use unless one has the keys, the rites of passage. The Star Rites, or "Mosoq Karpay" (The Rites of the Time to Come), are crucial to the practical growth described in the prophecies. Following the "despachos" (ritualistic offerings of mesa, or medicine bundles) at the ceremony in New York City, the shamans administered the Mosoq Karpay to the individuals present, transmitting the energies originating with the ancestors of their lineage.
The transmission of the Mosoq Karpay is the ceremony representing the end of one's relationship to time. It is a process of the heart.
This process of Becoming is considered more important than the prophecies themselves. The Karpay (rites) plant the seed of knowledge, the seed of Pachacuti, in the luminous body of the recipient. It is up to each person to water and tend the seed so that it can grow and blossom. The rites are a transmission of potential; one must then make oneself available to destiny. The Karpays connect the person to an ancient lineage of knowledge and power that cannot be accessed by the individual. It can only be summoned by a tribe.
Ultimately, this power can provide the impetus for one to leap into the body of an Inca, a Luminous One. That person is connected directly to the stars, the Incan Sun of cosmology.
The Q'ero believe that the doorways between the worlds are opening again. Holes in time that we can step through and beyond, where we can explore our human capabilities. Regaining our luminous nature is a possibility today for all who dare to take the leap.
The Andean shamans say,
"Follow your own footsteps.
Learn from the rivers,
the trees and the rocks.
Honor the Christ,
the Buddha,
your brothers and sisters.
Honor the Earth Mother and the Great Spirit.
Honor yourself and all of creation."
"Look with the eyes of your soul and engage the essential,"
This is the teaching of the Q'ero...
