NEW MILLENNIUM BEING


A TIME TO LET GO AND FEEL LOVED

Number 51, October 3, 2002


Sunday October 6, 2002 the New Moon graces us at 13 degrees Libra at 4:17 AM
PST. Later that day at 12:25 PM PST Mercury goes direct at 28 degrees
Virgo. We are already feeling the impact of these two planetary cycles
reaching completion and starting anew at almost the same time. At the end
of a cycle, we feel the withdrawal of energy. In the last few days I have
felt almost a cosmic void. It feels like there is little or no energy to
make things to happen. Any efforting seems counterproductive. Trying to
take direct action seems to produce more stress and anxiety than results. We
may feel empty or sad and want to retreat. The energies are pulling us
inward. It is time to "re-treat" ourselves to time alone in nature. It is
time to meet ourselves in our hearts.

This phase in planetary cycles is not a time to take action, to be
aggressive or to be assertive. It is a time to "let go and let God." It is
a time to release the past so that we can begin a new cycle, clean and
clear. It is time to make space for something new to be born. What is
appropriate now is to withdraw into our inner womb, access and befriend our
zero point, find shelter in our hearts and let ourselves be nourished by the
Earth and nurtured by the Divine. It is a special time when we can feel
connected to both Mother Earth and Goddess Universe. If we give ourselves
time to connect with both, we can experience the physical and etheric
energies merge in and open our hearts.

In our hearts we can drop our control trips for a moment and enter another
dimension of reality. We can experience that there are bigger forces at work
than our personal ego. Of course, our personalities want things a certain
way. But we notice that they may not be that way. We also realize that we
need to let go of our self-styled plans. We don't want to try to figure
things out at this time. It is a time in the cycle of life to surrender to
the divine plan and higher powers of the universe and our soul.

The more we let go of our ideas about how we think things ought to be, the
more we will feel taken care of. We can feel very content, if we surrender
to what is and simply enjoy the unconditional feminine space. We want to
open ourselves to listen and to be guided so that we can plant the most
appropriate seeds at the New Moon. It is a time to stay tuned, connected to
the Divine and available for whatever comes our way. It is not a time to
take action and it is not a time to despair. It is a time to regroup
ourselves and our lives by simply being present to what is. It is time to
reorient by being ready for what will be.

Mercury is stationary before it goes direct. It feels like the clock has
stopped. It is about to be reset. The time before the New Moon is a period
of death and release. Both are very feminine, inner times. When the
energies are masculine, it is appropriate to ask, to give and to take
action. When the energies are feminine, it is a time to listen, to receive
and to simply be. The energy at this time is very soft and sweet. To take
advantage of this gentleness, let yourself be nurtured and taken care of by
the Divine Feminine. Give yourself time alone to be receptive to universal
love and let it open your heart. In your deep inner exploration, let go
enough to peak into your own soul.

Now is the time to experience that when we can't be in control, the best
thing to do is to allow ourselves to be and feel loved.


Many blessings to each of you,

P.S. I am working on the next NMB on the Aries/Libra polarity. My intention
has been to have it completed in time for the Libra New Moon Sunday.
However, since I have surrendered to universal energies and given up
controlling the exact date, it may come out a bit later. In any case, I
wanted to be in touch. My guidance told me to share these insights from my
meditation with you today.
