As long as I can remember, I have been intensely drawn to the pull of the planet Mars. It is putting on quite a show right now – in "opposition" or alignment with the Earth and Sun; with the earth in the middle. Clearly, Mars is the brightest star in view. I look up at this stunning red orb and it seems to dance towards and through me. It always has.

I am thrilled by the its incredibly intimate dance moves, but I still find it challenging to deal with the attending vertigo. The "idea of Keshav'" is lost in the presence of the moment. Thinking and talking are both challenging while dancing with Mars!

We hover around friends and family, and try to speak with them, but they often cannot see us. They do not fully respond to us because we have not yet figured out who around us is dead and who is alive. We must be willing to experience ourselves as a form; made of light – before death, and before attachment to a personal point of view.

I found myself in a contentious mood this morning, regarding the "growing pains" of Democracy. I just put myself on time-out: specifically to feel the tension I was holding onto in my fingers, toes, and third eye area. That is the cue to make room for more of what I say I value (peace, love, freedom, and community) into my daily life-dream.

The only way to conquer war is to stand up to it and just say no. I am aware of the value of speaking out against "madness," but only when I am clear about what I am fighting (speaking out) for. That can only be clear if the way I conduct my life is in tune with what I say I treasure most.

Peace Trumps War!

Awareness has an innate capacity to reflect its surroundings, even if no object is there to reflect. Pure Awareness is a simple Knowing – pure creativity; knowing without a knower. We all reflect the light of awareness; even if we fail to recognize it.

Impatience with the progress of our spiritual transformation only prolongs it.

.to consciously view life through the eyes of wonderment.

Nothingness is full of creative energy that is neither dark nor light; at rest, or in motion.

We can only fully embrace peace and freedom when we stop trying to make the surface of the Ocean of Consciousness calm. Only then can we accept that the very nature of the Ocean is change. Meditation exposes waves of distractions; it is how we perceive or interpret them that changes.

It is disturbing that many of us are not wearing masks these days.

So far, however, the most entertaining reason I have heard for not wearing one was given by a woman, who said:

"I don't wear a mask for the same reason that I don't wear underwear. Things gotta breathe!"
