THE METAVERSAL FIREWEEK FORECAST
ATZILUTH
THE WORLD OF FIRE, THE SPIRIT BODY
FIRST QUARTER MOON
-FIREWEEK-
January 29th to February 2nd
This forecast has a fixed meaning that does not change, whether read out loud in a catacomb or read in silence in a control tower... it is not immune to polyglot shift - if it has been written, spoken or otherwise processed in any language other than English, a translation has occurred; in this event, please contact the manfacturer should you wish to be issued the original English language version. May cause reader's mind to light up like a firebombed motorcade. It may also be used to rouse someone from a deep slumber if spoken loudly enough - optimal volume will vary according to proximity of speaker to subject (and density of the sleepstate). The seed/ideas we have from the New Moon to the First Quarter Moon come from the kabbalistic world of Atziluth (Fire) and are the blueprints/seeds for everything that exists, has existed, and will ever exist in the physical world of Assiah (Earth), as an embodiment of the archetypal idealized apple (or a least the Core): The letters of Living Light, or fire writing, are activating in greater conscious awareness with this Fireweek.
These letters are first being seeded into the sub-conscious during sleep. These letters shape our lightcrafts vibratory structure on a small scale. Now imagine how this divine Language can quicken your craft to an even greater scale of creation where human language is replaced by a language of Light-specific pictures. Avoid any doctrine or religious movement that advocates a shameful wickedness with the alphabet. The words grow here slick and filthy and unhindered by enterprise. Linearity in print and thought has made language unable to deal with the Metaverse in any meaningful way, except as pathology. Now the Metaverse is returning to the language through people like us with one foot in each world. The human mind is haunted both by the many presences sensed within the self and by a confused sense of self. Wherever we turn in the world of nature and the psyche, we encounter life, animation, and a willingness to communicate that confounds the fragile pyramid of boundary consciousness and human values that have emerged over historical time through the suppression of our intuitions. It's like when the cicadas emblazon the trees with the sonority of their oversoul. The secret agendas of the Neocons--Oil, empire and Israel--now lie fully exposed and call into question their divided loyalties, like bleak, hateful locomotives rolling across our ancestors sleep-thickened hearts. Haven't you noticed the Grand Square of late? Everyone has. That is, everyone choosing to be honest about how life has really been going.
Consider that Mars now has passed by Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune. The Cross is done not to be repeated with Mars in Taurus. Sure later in the year with Mars in Leo we'll get more triggers and then more yet as he heads to home turf in Scorpio, but right now the tension eases leaving a three-legged stool of Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune. Three-legged stools, unlike four legged stools, never wobble. Remember the three legs operating for a large portion of the year's remainder in varying degrees of tightness. Establish clear beliefs that get to your total bottom line (Jupiter), be willing to work hard applying all your talents will elbow grease, sweat and whatever (Saturn) all the while remembering you had a vision when you incarnated (Neptune) as to how this life should turn out. On Tuesday the 31st, in large cities and small towns all across the country, the Lightcrafty join in rallies one hour before Bush's address as we make our determination to "Drive Out the Bush Regime" the political message of the day. At 6:00 PM PST, just as Bush starts to speak, everywhere we will BRING THE NOISE. In a cacophony of sound, we will drown out his address with music: from drums to violins, from hip hop and classical; and with noise: banging pots and ringing church bells, sound car horns and lifting our voices. Were we cast out of the Garden, or did we choose to come here as part of a grand Metaversal experiment? Are we born sinners, or are we Divinity playing hide and seek with itself? Is the primary purpose of life to discover what to do - or what to be?
Do not remove the special goggles just yet. What appears as blackness in this case is a visual field so rich in data you can't see the florist for the bees. So just surrender and take things [It's not necessary to write this down -it will happen to you again, in the same way] shaggy muzzle of a perfunctory dispatch nuzzles your crotch and growls at the same time you look out the window and realize its pane is really a liquid crystal display of something much nicer than what actually exists beyond the frame. This New Moon shows us: We are at the junction of love and fear, and if we stay on the all-too-familiar path of ScareCity - we're totally forked... we can do the same old same old and get the same old results, or... we can try something different for a change. Instead of ScareCity, we can go for ABunDance. That is when we get up off of our assets, move our buns, and dance together in rhythm and flow. Can it work? Well, consider what hasn't worked. There are two reasons to do this. One is a secret and the other is a lie. Our Metaversal thunderbolt of revelation resembles a corkscrew'n more ways than 1.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 29th
Today is the New Moon in Aquarius marking the Chinese New Year that always begins on the Aquarius New Moon. This is the year of the Fire Dog or Red Dog. Any New Year point especially at a New Moon is a time for planting seeds or clarifying and energizing intentions. This provides additional support for dreaming the dream of a new reality - restructuring our experience of life through the sacred geometry of the Metaverse, as a time translation where Heaven and Earth unite. As in Goethe's Faust, the paradigmatic scientist sells his soul to the devil in return for unlimited knowledge and power. The guiding spirit of modern science, according to the Faust myth, is a demon, a fallen angel called Mephistopheles. How seriously do we need to take the idea that our whole society and civilization is under the possession of such a spirit, worshiped through sex, money, addiction and power? We're near the midway point between winter and spring, known in ancient times as a cross-quarter day - an extra-potent time for prayers and ceremony. As the Sun moves through the sign of Aquarius, daylight grows in the Northern Hemisphere, associating this sign with hope and progress. Aquarius is the third air sign in the zodiac, concerned with ideals and innovations affecting the collective. Several factors turn our attention toward envisioning the future and our place in it. Not only are the Sun and Moon in Aquarius, but also Mercury, Chiron, and Neptune, generating a strong tailwind for reform. The Moon transits Aquarius once a month, and the Sun and Mercury are in that sign once each year; however, Chiron visits the eleventh sign only every 50 years, and Neptune even less frequently: every 168 years. On a much larger scale, the precession of the equinoxes aligns the destiny of the Earth with the revolutionary energies of Aquarius every 26,000 years, a period known as the Platonic or Great Year. Is this the dawning of a Metaversal age? Although there are various markers for
when it actually begins, there is little doubt that - environmentally, politically, financially, socially - we've reached a critical time and a critical mass. Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius and the planet of revolution, conjoined Pluto, the planet of evolution, for most of the 1960s. Since that decade, there has been a steady increase
in a group termed the "Cultural Creatives" by researchers Paul Ray and Sherry Anderson. Attributes of the Cultural Creatives parallel those associated with Aquarian ideals: equal rights, freedom of expression, valuing relationship and community, working toward unity in diversity.
Cultural Creatives now comprise at least 26 percent of the U.S. population and an even higher percentage of some European countries. They cross all demographic divisions of age, location, religion, and economic status, and they may not realize that there are millions of people who share their values. Jupiter at 17° Scorpio squares Neptune at 17° Aquarius, challenging us to release our fears and reown our projections. Because of Jupiter's retrograde motion, he will closely square Neptune until the end of April and will continue to unmask fabrications and reveal new truths until his third and final square with Neptune on September 24. Saturn at 8° Leo opposes this New Moon, focusing our awareness on where we have abdicated our authority and where we need to see others as they really are. Venus is nearing the end of her retrograde stay in Saturn's sign, turning direct at 16° Capricorn on February 3, the same day that Mars reaches his shadow point, the degree where he last stationed retrograde (23° Taurus on October 1, 2005).
All these aspects are illustrated by the Sabian symbol for this New Moon, 10° Aquarius:
"A man who had for a time become the embodiment of a popular ideal is made to realize that as a person he is not this ideal; the need to deal with human beings as persons rather than as screens upon which one projects one? dream and ideal."
With the focus on privatization, public-private partnerships, (dismantling local control); anyone with any common sense about them can see that; incrementally the power of the people is being given over to corporate control through various venues. Once upon a time we were subjects, then citizens, and now consumers. Everything is for sale. TV 'programming' is set up to entice "consumers" through the 3000 daily ads to buy, buy, buy. Utilities-waste-nursing homes, and even the people's water (once in local control) is open to the highest bidder or those with the most influence. In "public private partnerships or privatization" (despite the lofty high pitch sales rhetoric) means only one thing. A plundering of the people's money. Profits take precedence over any and all health or environmental concerns. It's pigs at the trough time, locally-state wise and nationally. This is not just happening in one or two isolated places but across the nation. Because we are narrowly focused (many times only one newspaper) parochially; we have little to no idea of the larger picture and what is being set in place. Is a great war between the good and evil angels being acted out on Earth? We hardly know how to think or talk about such possibilities since they are so alien to the official, standard models of Western history. You may need to recite a liturgical formula of praise to a mischievous, ugly demon rigid from sexual excitement today. Lucky you.
MONDAY, JANUARY 30th
The Moon moves into Pisces this afternoon and conjuncts Uranus tomorrow energizing the mysteries of radical compassion especially when we practice acts of kindness.
Research indicates that acts of kindness benefit not only the person who receives the kindness and the person who gives it but also anyone who happens to witness it bringing feelings of richness and fulfillment to our lives and Kindness promotes good health and longevity. Well, Your Name, have you come this far (to the end of the Lunar year) to spread intricate sadness with all possible combinations of dour gesticulations and complex facial contortions? Didn't think so. Is there any way Moon in Pisces could please you without resorting to the obvious? By the time we come to Pisces, no one ever knows what time it is, but all have the sense that it must be getting very, very late. Hey, we could rename skyscrapers cloudsnaggers. Punches could be thrown out of windows, showering spirits upon those living below the party line. Nightcaps could be dislodged an hour later on holidays, extending daylight for the revellers and looters. We've been and are everything. Identities and boundaries get very fuzzy at this stage, and they're supposed to. Moon in Pisces reminds us that we are on an infinite journey, ever leaving, ever returning. Where have we been? And who are we? We are a raindrop. We are the ocean. As warm jets, we are ever slow here and glide lusciously, just overhead, spreading our Lightcraft's auralchemy over the topomorphic fields. We are the particles and waves that blink in and out of existence. This is the enigma of Pisces. Paradox. Mysticism. Madness. The longing for Home and the realization that we never left.
The glyph for Pisces, two fishes swimming in opposite directions, symbolizes the imperative to integrate two dimensions - the finite and the infinite. Neptune, which rules Pisces, was the mythic God of the Sea; he is associated with the swells of emotion and the vast mysteries of the collective unconscious. In the modern Western world, this is largely misunderstood territory. Chickadees have been known to fornicate with badgers here, for christsakes. We're trained to trust logic and reason, not dreams or feelings. We're rewarded for achieving material gain rather than developing our imagination or our compassion. It's no coincidence that those who struggle with addictions are often idealistic, artistic souls who have a strong connection to the twelfth sign, the 12th house, or its natural ruler, Neptune. Eventually, we realize that spiritual longings cannot be sated by food, drugs, sex, or the right deodorant. So, what will satisfy our deepest desires? This Pisces Moon calls us to remember our soul's yearnings. Why did we incarnate? What have we come to give? Each of us signed a prenatal contract, which can be delineated by the degrees of our natal planets and their accompanying spiritual principles. Everything seethes and churns in this region, but that's okay: it's all part of Pisces, and soon you won't notice it anyway as you enter into your own state of turbulescent grace.
Whatever calls you from outside the curtain can wait. You're here now, and ready at last to open your eyes. When you do, you'll see that Time is a soft jagged wave moving through you and Space is a malleable domain sculpted by perception. Rest assured: the voluptuous terror you feel swiftly gives way to splendour. Suddenly you will re more awake than you've been since retiring from the womb. The secret phenomenological truth, encrypted against corruption at your birth but now transmitted lucidly across every synapse, is that the World is determined by imaginative volition. How much love can one being express? Now that this has been revealed, your purpose is clear. You might as well get used to it: How much light can one craft carry? How much truth can one being speak?
TUESDAY, JANUARY 31st
This is the Day we discovered the Door
that was open to all from the Start
this is the Day we traded in War
in exchange for a wide-open Heart
This is the birthday
of Love and of Light and the Child
the Day when we took off our diapers
and entangled our lives with the Wild.
Messenger Mercury moves to conjunct Neptune tomorrow (17 Aquarius) inspiring new visions and dreams from a grand Metaversal perspective. This is a good time for looking larger away from what has always been toward a whole new and perhaps even more magickal life expression. Mercury and Neptune together remind us that a truly magical life is possible when we are willing to embrace and experience it. It's time to match the surplus of what bakes your schtick. Consider this a call for self exploration. It's time to scratch the surface of what makes you tick. Consider this a call for self exploration. Each time you notice a strong reaction to the stimuli in your life, that's notification to examine why you feel the way you do. All hurt feelings, personal injustices and insults to your ego require back peddling in the psyche to determine the point of origination. Try changing your mind about the assumptions you made in situations that did not work out well. Try believing that others meant to preserve their needs and meant no affront to you. Express everything you want, allowing others to respond as they can. Imposing your will or trying to maneuver the response of others will backfire, creating more hurtful feelings. Some people cannot help you. Others will be glad to rally.
Hold your flag high, and so those who follow can find you. At 5:00 PM we rally at Union Square. At 6:00 PM PST, just as Bush starts to speak, everywhere we will BRING THE NOISE. In a cacophony of sound, a severe outbreak of senseless veneration, we will drown out his address with musick: from drums to violins, from hip hop and classical; Untimely script from the loom of oneirica. Don't own an area in the nano era. A molecular tremendum with noise: banging pots and ringing church bells, sound car horns and lifting our voices, in a state of torpor induced artificially by motor-driven resonators and metal tubes. This Saturday the 4th, after the State of the Union address, massive numbers will protest at the seat of government. Prominent voices of conscience will help deliver the people's verdict on Bush's criminal regime with our demand: Bush Step Down And Take Your Program with You!
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1st
What do you want to accomplish? Your gonna start a Magickal project. Today is the day to get it moving. Start out by clearly delineating your goals, and then go for it. The Metaverse will help you get rolling , when at 2:46 p.m. the Moon enters Aries. You can, in fact, create the kind of transformation which will represent a major positive step in your life. The Action vibe continues until late tonight. In the cities there will be talk of rain and fire. Reach through the television haze and strangle your archetypes. They were beginning to wonder if they'd ever feel your hands around their throats. The drums roll, and imbued with Aries determination, we march right ahead. We demand justice and fairness, even if we have to fight for it. Mercury conjuncts Neptune in Aquarius today and inspired thought comes our way in a series of bursts that last four minutes and fifty-two seconds. Making some sort of indelible imprint in your consciousness of these nuggets of ingenium reminds you for the next one hundred eighty-seven days that you must apply a chunk of time to your project each and every day. In this manner, the passion for the effort builds. The ultimate satisfaction comes only with completion of the project. The matter here is that of sustaining a craving in your soul to do what it is you felt you incarnated to do. The opening allows creating a dimension of Metaversal access leading to a direct fulfillment of your dharma. Pretty Cool, huh.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd
CANDLEMAS: Groundhog Day
Moon continues in Aries, with energetic aspects. This is a day to be physically active. Give yourself some retreat time and bless your Magickial candles for the year and remember: I am just a voice made out of chemicals and you can interrupt this dictation by rolling over onto your back then returning to the original position, if you can find it again. This resets the words as a lottery tumbler would shuffle tickets by the revolving of its drum Even so, evening will be intense. Security problems continue to show up in the financial sectors. Likely part of this is manifested as the government's desperate lunge to get their hands on our assets. Paraluminary incantations wafting, nipped at by polluted dogs who know not what they do. . In new horizon, in golden swarms, in comes tomorrow, it's thunder storms over the hill... The future falls, beyond these walls, Destiny calling, like the dawn a sweeter thrill...

Express everything you want, allowing others to respond as they can. Imposing your will or trying to maneuver the response of others will backfire, creating more hurtful feelings. Some people cannot help you. Others will be glad to rally.
Hold your flag high, and so those who follow can find you. At 5:00 PM we rally at Union Square. At 6:00 PM PST, just as Bush starts to speak, everywhere we will BRING THE NOISE. In a cacophony of sound, a severe outbreak of senseless veneration, we will drown out his address with musick: from drums to violins, from hip hop and classical; Untimely script from the loom of oneirica. Don't own an area in the nano era. A molecular tremendum with noise: banging pots and ringing church bells, sound car horns and lifting our voices, in a state of torpor induced artificially by motor-driven resonators and metal tubes. This Saturday the 4th, after the State of the Union address, massive numbers will protest at the seat of government. Prominent voices of conscience will help deliver the people's verdict on Bush's criminal regime with our demand: Bush Step Down And Take Your Program with You!
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1st
What do you want to accomplish? Your gonna start a Magickal project. Today is the day to get it moving. Start out by clearly delineating your goals, and then go for it. The Metaverse will help you get rolling , when at 2:46 p.m. the Moon enters Aries. You can, in fact, create the kind of transformation which will represent a major positive step in your life. The Action vibe continues until late tonight. In the cities there will be talk of rain and fire. Reach through the television haze and strangle your archetypes. They were beginning to wonder if they'd ever feel your hands around their throats. The drums roll, and imbued with Aries determination, we march right ahead. We demand justice and fairness, even if we have to fight for it. Mercury conjuncts Neptune in Aquarius today and inspired thought comes our way in a series of bursts that last four minutes and fifty-two seconds. Making some sort of indelible imprint in your consciousness of these nuggets of ingenium reminds you for the next one hundred eighty-seven days that you must apply a chunk of time to your project each and every day. In this manner, the passion for the effort builds. The ultimate satisfaction comes only with completion of the project. The matter here is that of sustaining a craving in your soul to do what it is you felt you incarnated to do. The opening allows creating a dimension of Metaversal access leading to a direct fulfillment of your dharma. Pretty Cool, huh.

CANDLEMAS: Groundhog Day
Moon continues in Aries, with energetic aspects. This is a day to be physically active. Give yourself some retreat time and bless your Magickial candles for the year and remember: I am just a voice made out of chemicals and you can interrupt this dictation by rolling over onto your back then returning to the original position, if you can find it again. This resets the words as a lottery tumbler would shuffle tickets by the revolving of its drum Even so, evening will be intense. Security problems continue to show up in the financial sectors. Likely part of this is manifested as the government's desperate lunge to get their hands on our assets. Paraluminary incantations wafting, nipped at by polluted dogs who know not what they do. . In new horizon, in golden swarms, in comes tomorrow, it's thunder storms over the hill... The future falls, beyond these walls, Destiny calling, like the dawn a sweeter thrill...

I'd actually first heard about this last month on the G4 network (cable teevee) but it hadn't sunk in that the film really IS in production as of now, and has been slated for release in 2007. I can't believe it's TRUE!! It's TRUE!!! They're making my favourite Neil Gaiman novel into a film!
