Every birth that survives into true selfhood is a miracle, every mind that fully awakens, every man or woman who finds freedom and joy, everyone who becomes the individual in the creative center, all are miracles. And all are rare.

This awakening into real being is the prerogative of the individual alone. And this individual is precisely the one who is not the social ego, the one who has realized that there is no true life within society. The true life begins when the soul awakens to its solitary presence and power, realizing that in its outer social life it has been acting like a drunk, dreaming and redreaming the continual dogma taught to it by the surrounding social forms, while forgetting and neglecting its own true self.

But while we forget our truth and dance to the tune of someone else's game, we can never be fully alive, for our heart is not into the fakeries and forgeries of the crowd-following dance. So we languish in a tired, half-hearted attempt to go along with something that we truly do not want.

And here is where the reading comes in. When you begin to awaken and search for your own individual way, you tend to connect with those who are helpful in your quest. Right now, at this moment, you have run into an unusual astrology and an unusual astrologer who are also on this path, helping you to communicate immediately about what is most important to you --- a bit of road-map and help along the way from someone traveling in the same direction, who means what he says.

This is a mature and serious thing, a shouldering of personal responsibility as you realize that you are fully on your own. Looking back at society and its unconscious hordes, you finally decide to essentially abandon that mess, leaving it to its ever-unchanging deception and war, competition and usury, pillaging and confusion. You realize that the only reason that you joined in the mess was because you had a little bit of that messiness in yourself. But no more, for you truly want to be free and happy.

What will the reading provide? It will show you, in a manner that is reasonably clear and inescapable, a simple yet comprehensive view of who you really are, what you really want to do, and what you really can accomplish. The reading will try to bring you to yourself. In so doing, it will tend to pull you out of your cocoon, pointing out the wings on your back that are already beginning to unfold.

At the same time, you will see the earthian backdrop to your life, society's view of you and how it wants to use you in its game. This social perspective is what most people follow and obey, thinking it to be their true self. But it is only society's opinion, an opinion that goes nowhere except right back into the common runaround. So it is very useful for you to know this plan, in order to avoid it completely.

We will also focus on everything that might be beneficial and useful to your individual growth and freedom --- your right relationships, right livelihood, best location, and most efficient path to your happiness. When you order your reading, you may specify how much you want to examine these details.

From my own personal experience, I am confident of the following ---

The Universe is a conscious, continually-miraculous, self-eternally-regenerating expression in manyness of the underlying, quiet One. This unperceived One must be the source of all life, and therefore must be infinitely more alive than Life itself. Since it is the source of all virtues, it must be infinitely better than and beyond all such virtues. For example, as modesty is a virtue to us, so must the One have this virtue so infinitely developed that it shyly and eternally hides from sight, letting all of its visible, manifested children take the credit for everything instead.

With full faith in the existence of this necessary One, I see its representative symbols when I look out at the universe. For instance, I see the singular Sun beaming light-energy-life down onto the all-receptive planet earth, providing being and sustenance for its infinitely-numbered children. To my mind, the Sun is a reasonable symbol of the One, and the earth is likewise a reasonable symbol of the manifested universe. This tallies well with our experience, as we find it difficult to look at the Sun, and we tend to forget its all-important presence, even as we tend to forget the One itself. Meanwhile, we overvalue the ephemeral multiplicities of the earth, and we focus overmuch on the conventional interpretation of our misunderstood impressions, even as we obsess on Maya, the never-ending trickster-play of life, rather than inquire as to the singular, simple truth.

Instead, we should return to the original, ancient way of human life, wherein invention stands upon and transcends tradition, soul stands upon and reaches higher than the body that is its own perfectly self-made physical representation, and the individual comes up out of family, thankful to that family for its infantile and foundational support, but also thankfully going far beyond it. We need to realize that no one will accomplish this but ourselves alone.

Meanwhile, society (which necessarily includes our own inherited social egos) can only think according to its own ever-fragmented, insecure compoundedness, and must always and forever push for its own frantic dominion at the expense of the individual --- and the individual, understanding society's ignorance, must politely but absolutely decline the invitation. Looked at mathematically, this absolute necessity for the return to valuing individuation is nothing more than acknowledging the truth that, when counting, we must always and forever begin with the number One, and never with the many. In life, as in mathematics, the One is really the only thing there is.

In heliocentric astrology, we stand upon the one immediate Sun, and we see from the standpoint of the already-self-sufficient creating intellect. We also watch the planets move against the backdrop of the galaxy, and especially we study the drama unfolding on planet earth, for this is where our bodies are momentarily living, and our belief in these bodies causes us to be concerned for their future. We go on doing the bodily life --- we walk down the street and fall in love and accomplish great deeds --- but, more and more, we do so while remembering the Sun, remembering the detached, far-seeing mind. Even while still tied to the body, we begin to move into the eternal mind. Up there, where the mind is supreme and the body is minor, conditions are always happy and good.

When I listen to people talking about other people, I always realize that each person, limited and defined by his own concepts, is always and forever only talking about himself. Just so, I realize that when I speak of Sun and earth and Universe, I am really talking about myself --- I am describing the actual concepts within my mind wherewith I perceive my own mind. Gradually, as I perceive and describe the actual reality of my own mind, I come to understand that that is all we ever know --- the mind itself, existing who-knows-where in a world that it, itself, thought into being.

This condition --- the human mind as the divine, self-illuminating dreamer of its own world --- is the true human condition. This is the quiet, detached, intelligent state into which every baby is originally born. The problem is, the divine baby is immediately intercepted by loud and violent adult minds that have been overwhelmingly conditioned to some self-forgetting dogma that convinces them that they are not dreamers at all, but rather that they are some kind of helpless, fully-formed, compulsory robots who must conform to the dogma in order to escape the various terrors threatened by the dogma.

Thus does the godlike baby crash down to the earth, believing in and behaving according to ignorance and fear, spending lifetimes doing unnecessary things in order to fulfill someone else's prior misconception. Such is the genesis of the eclipsed, self-unknowing people who invent all of the collectively-popular religions, sciences, ideologies, and nations. These are all inconclusive, irrelevant, earthbound distractions in which the nobility and divinity of the individual soul have been repressed and forgotten.

When I read your chart, I see the original baby soul and its gentle little thoughts, and I also see the yelling, yawning earth with its various sophistic dogmas. The purpose of the reading is to speak to and reinforce this soul and to remind that soul of its noble calling. Then again, it is helpful to describe the illusions, games, coercions and tricks of the collective dogma, and thus to even the contest somewhat.

Sincerely,
