We choose our way, our path, our life with every breath, and the Full Moon sitting esoterically in the sign of Virgo on Monday is a reminder to us of our absolute power and personal responsibility to direct our human journey.

Today, 22^nd August, brings the second Full Moon in August, one filled with renewed lunar strength and energy, and one that is pivotal for each of us as we share the pain of the disintegration of Afghanistan.  Through the collective consciousness and as members of the human race, we have responsibility for what is occurring everywhere, and we have work to do to put right what we have wronged.

A two acre plot in a remote part of the Upper Wye valley has been my home for 18 years, and my focus of attention from the start has been to transform it from a much-admired weed-free and highly controlled show garden to a place that is a haven for wildlife.

The Cosmic Rays affect everything, highlighting inherent strengths and weaknesses and forcing change through our reactions.  All opportunity and challenge in life are a result of how we see and use the Rays, particularly those that are significant to us personally.

As July starts to have form, the clash for survival between mind and heart is becoming stronger, the one increasingly aggressive and the other intent upon emergence.

The energy of long Solstice light woke me early today on this the longest day, along with the pre-dawn song of early blackbirds and the chatter of bats returning to their roosts in the cedar shingles under my windows.  It feels momentous, infinite, rich and transitory, a day to remember but which in the human passage of time I am likely to forget.  It does not matter.

As you remember that you comprise three levels of being, which are spirit, soul and your humanity, and as you remember too that only the aspect of being human is transitory, it is easy to take the latter for granted, particularly where it relates to the body.

Wednesday’s Supermoon will be the strongest and brightest in recent memory and for many months to come, exceeding even last month’s powerful and painful manifestation.  Unusually, it will be accompanied by a total lunar eclipse, and so it will be a Blood Supermoon.

In the recent Deep Time project, fifteen people lived in a French cave without clocks, light or external communications, to test the effects of living as a group in isolation without any indicators of time. 

“I see, and when the eye is opened, all is Light.”
