Metaversal Fireweek Forecast (Nov 20-25)

Brought to you by Johannes Ayres...



THE METAVERSAL LIGHTCRAFT
HYPER-ABYSSIC ASTROLOGY FORECAST
AND LIGHT SPECIFIC YOGA PLATFORM
THE METAVERSAL FIREWEEK FORECAST

ATZILUTH, THE WORLD OF FORCE/FIRE
-FIREWEEK-
NOVEMBER 20 to NOVEMBER 25

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 prepared and written in luminous tiles across your retinas. May it shine forth upon all who meet your gaze. The words grow here slick and filthy and unhindered by enterprise.

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). On swift wings are these seeds conveyed these shaggy muzzles of perfunctory dispatch, nuzzling my crotch and growling at the same time, like voices made out of chemicals (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 celestial lottery tumbler would shuffle god-tickets by the revolving of its holy drum.) For I am a servent of the same your god, a servant of the most holy...

Fireweek is the time to remember we're in the pilots seat of our own personal Lightcraft and make some course corrections if we've veered off course. What would you like to boost in your life? And what would you like to reduce or eliminate? New Moon in Scorpio brings attention to letting go, to transformation, to resurrection, further energizing the Metaversal matrix now emerging at this turning of the great wheel of time. If we’ve successfully completed our underworld journey, we feel pardoned and emancipated by the New Moon on November 20th, when five planets again converge in Scorpio and signal that we’ve reached another spiritual crossroads. Optimism (and hubris) run especially high as the Sun conjuncts Jupiter exactly on November 21st and then enters Sagittarius on November 22nd; Jupiter begins its yearlong passage through Sagittarius on the next day.

This is considered to be a highly favorable astrological event that supports education, risk taking and travel. An optimistic wind can blow away doubt and fear as you catch a glimpse of a more rewarding future. With four planets in Sagittarius for the rest of the month, it’s time to set a new course and remember we reconnect and rise here to generate terrific monuments made of heavenly coloured data-stream, as we storm the edifices of a dream more incredible than the blooming of a thousand hearts amplified through the vacufazers of the all mighty at full speed.
Amen.

“The wind of Grace is always blowing/but you need to raise your sail” (Vivekananda).

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20
Well, Your Name, have you come this far (to the end of the planetary dog-pile in Scorpio) to spread intricate sadness with all possible combinations of dour gesticulations and complex facial contortions? Didn't think so. Another light turns green just in time for the New Moon. At 1:08 a.m. Uranus, always full of surprises, turns direct. It is in the 6th house of service, and it connects now with freshly-direct Mercury to fill us with new ideas. It also connects with Juno, the abused wife, to promote our own desires for justice and fair treatment. Expect more speaking out from military personnel. At the very same time Mars squares Ceres in Aquarius. Their conjunction occurred in September 2004 in Virgo, when the U.S. bombed Fallujah to smithereens, and when the unthinkable happened: foreign countries all turned down U.S. bonds for sale. This was a sign of things to come. U.S. arrogance may be receiving a come-uppance on a number of fronts. Duty calls on this significant day, but it may be slow going until New Moon at 29 Scorpio, which occurs at 5:18 p.m. These late-degree new moons indicate a finishing of cycles, in the case of Scorpio a transformational cycle.

This New Moon in Scorpio is a magnificent bridge between past disappointment and future fulfillment. Its conjunction with expansive Jupiter late in the sign of elimination helps us let go of unhealthy habits. Scorpio's sharp eye for resources reveals opportunities in the midst of loss or conflict. Emotions may be extreme now, but the force you feel is the awakening giant of potential, one that can deepen relationships, nurture undeveloped talent and increase income. Expansion and luck characterize our new births, for Moon and Sun both conjoin Jupiter, who dominates the action now. Moon’s conjunction with Jupiter, which promotes good feeling, will be exact in an hour. Sun’s conjunction will be exact in 24 hours. A pervasive good feeling and optimism prevail now. We look ahead to possible benefits and opportunities. Finally, hope lights the darkness. Business opportunities are especially favored. Move quickly, for Saturn, another business planet, turns retrograde in early December. We now have the rare circumstance of all of the planets moving direct! Even Chiron, the wounded healer, has a fine connection with Venus to encourage relationship healing. Take advantage of all these open doors to do your thing now.

The Sabian Symbol for 29 Scorpio is:

“AN INDIAN SQUAW PLEADING TO THE CHIEF FOR THE LIVES OF HER CHILDREN. Love as a principle of redemption. Here the soul is presented as a mother whose sons (i.e., her active energies) have become disruptive forces in the life of the tribe. She seeks to counteract the karma of their misdeeds through her love and implorations. The soul is responsive to the experience of unity (the spiritual king or chief) but the energies of human nature often follow their self-seeking, divisive tendencies.

"The principle of wholeness in humans—the soul—acts to offset or attenuate the dictates of karma. The mother is seen in constant acts of INTERCESSION for the sake of waylaid individuals.”

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21
The Day of Mars in Fireweek sees the red planet in Scorpio. Tenaciousness is common with action-oriented Mars in this fixed sign. The positive is the ability to persevere and work through difficult challenges. In fact, it's been said that Mars in Scorpio doesn't like doing things the easy way. Resistance (to a degree) is just another obstacle to test Mars' power here. Uncover the inner dynamic at the core of your Lightcraft and follow its instructions implicitly. The language or system used is completely unimportant as long as it reflects and supports balance within your body.

Mars hasn't always been a god of War. More powerfully cool to ejacaulate dragonbreath fireballs at the mainstream media charade, to shoot fireworks out the buisness ends of elf flamethrows at the fleeing asses of neo-conservative goons. Our failure or unwillingness to alter our ways, our inability or refusal to change the direction of this nation and the continued indifference or complicity to the plight of billions has unmasked us all. Lost from the memory of tens of millions of Americans, whether conveniently or from the general amnesia now prevalent throughout society, are the myriad of excuses used to justify the illegal invasion and occupation of Babylon, from WMDs, mushroom clouds, connections to 9/11 and Al-Qaeda. Lost is the reality that we are the invading Red Coats fighting against American Revolutionaries in the Iraqi version of the Revolutionary War and War for Independence, that the truth behind the Iraq war is freedom fighters trying to cleanse their lands of the imperial invaders intent on dehumanizing Iraqis, raping their women, killing and brutalizing their children, conquering their oil fields and possessing their geostrategic lands. We cheer freedom fighters in expensive Hollywood productions, yet not when we are the invaders and occupiers. Such is the power of propaganda. Thanks to incessant propaganda, however, tens of millions of Americans will continue to live in the illusion that we are fighting the so-called war on terror against Al-Qaeda, that Iraq is the central front in this mirage, that we are the defenders of humanity, pursuing evildoer bogeymen with no interest in controlling the vast oil fields deemed vital to the continued expansion both of our economy and the coffers of the military-industrial-energy complex.

After years of propaganda and conditioning, and thanks to continued and incessant brainwashing by the mainstream media, we readily accept war as an institution, as a product re-introduced every few years for the benefit of the state. War thus becomes a necessary component that we inherently associate, perhaps subconsciously, with the continued health of the nation and its economy. By association, then, war is good not only for the country but for us as individuals, assuring our children of continued excessiveness. Inside our minds exists the charade that without war we would not possess the vast wealth we have or the comfortable lifestyles we live in. Yet we also know that without war, without our reckless grab for land and exploitation, the nation would stutter and cease to be the power that has allowed us to dominate the globe, pillaging the world's people and their resources in the process, in wanton fashion exacerbating misery, regional wars, global warming, poverty and thus further imperiling the security of the planet. It is this reality that we are fully aware of yet refuse to accept or openly talk about, becoming the ugly truth that must never be allowed to escape its dark closet. It is better to live in denial and in hypocrisy than in the shantytowns exclusively reserved for billions of our fellow human beings.

We are a nation asleep at the wheel, drunk off our self-exceptionalism and gluttony, ramming head on into the massive trunk of unthinking self-destruction, our arrogance blinding us to the giant cancer in our midst, addicted to materialism and television, every day dumbed down further, unwilling to learn about the world outside our infallible bubble, creating a snowball rolling downhill, gaining momentum and growing in size, in its path eviscerating the dreams and hopes of the future as well as an American past that once offered humanity a glimmer of hope in an ever-dwindling and myopic world. The Bush environmental policy -- dealing with air and water pollution, mineral extraction, national parks, and so on -- is an unmitigated disaster, giving pretty much free rein to corporations whose bottom line does better when they don't have to pay attention to the public interest. It's the worst sort of Vernacular slope. A flossy chisel- grab-the-money-and-run scenario. What an implosion alchemically in the glands- maximum insensitivity / no perception of the true science of euphoria and bliss.When did the golden light of the sun abandon its position in the eastern horizon and begin rising, each morning, from out of your silly, neo-Iron Age Ass. Mr Bush? Molten negligence. All that remains is a dead man with an accordion.

Whenever the subway train rumbles past beneath God's apartment, it shifts him just enough that he plays a single note of Quarantino's Rigor Mortis in D Flat. By our silent complicity and cowardly reluctance to oppose and stop this homicidal behavior in the name of profit, we are all accessories to mass murder and the destruction of human society, not to even mention the extinction of individual human freedom and the God-given right to be safe and secure in the homes of our choice. So now that you know, what are you going to do about it? You know if you do nothing, these same things will one day happen to you. In an environment where the true physics of charge implosion, and life essence is discouraged Lack of respect for life in our young 'uns arises directly from not understanding the true electrical alchemic principles of time compression at the end of solar ages- alchemizes the heart - is because the charge densities which accompany the solar maxima (2000- 2012 - climax of the Mayan / Solar calendar) formerly called RAPTURE by Christians - permit only those biological structures ABLE to non-destructively (and ALCHEMICALLY) compress / implode - to survive. In a sense - being squeezed - teaches us the biological hygiene techniques for immortality of infinite compression / acceleration thru the Heart of the Sun.. (When the phase fronts of biological magnetics - particularly the ultraviolet component of DNA emissions - blue fire - interface successfully with the superluminal - faster than light speed - the resultant electrical sustainability is the physics of immortality / ensoulment).

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22
The incenses attributed to Mercury and the sephirah Hod are Storax and fresh White-out. The Power of Mercury in Atziluth (Fire) is THE ABILITY TO CONCEPTUALIZE. Mercury is the Word, the Logos in the highest, the direct means of connection between polarities: yet he is in himself indifferent to all things, as the electrick current is indifferent to the meaning of the messages which are transmitted by it's means. Mercury teaches (by demonstration), the animation of Eidolons, the magick indwelling of icons by Spirit.. This planet of communication gets down to the depths whenever it's in Scorpio. The mind melds with emotions, descending into the body, into the past and into life's mysteries. This can be a very powerful period for talking about difficult issues regarding relationships, money and mortality. Psychological awareness is more acute now, as perceptions take us under the covers of the obvious, seeking hidden meaning and motivations.

The Sun's entry into Sagittarius today can be especially uplifting. With Sagittarius' ruling planet Jupiter about to cross the threshold tomorrow, a wave of expansion lifts us toward our goals. Self-righteousness, though, is the shadow of this sign, the dark force of judgment based on the absoluteness of one's beliefs that condemns those who act or think differently. The oceans part for the holy ice-cream vendor, while the condor circles in the vapor up above. The mistress cheering as the worm departs the apple, the old machinery is registered as Love... We can expand the horizons of awareness by recognizing that no faith or philosophy answers all of life's questions. Truth is not a fixed set of rules, but a spirit of discovery and a never ending willingness to learn.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Fire, Atziluth. The giant planet returns to its fiery home sign inspiring the faithful during its one-year stay in Sagittarius. This is considered to be a highly favorable astrological event that supports education, risk taking and travel. An optimistic wind can blow away doubt and fear as you catch a glimpse of a more rewarding future. The challenge is to turn vision into action now, instead of just waiting for tomorrow to arrive. It's better to aim high, fall short and try again than to decide that what you desire is beyond your reach. If you don't have a good laugh today, you are missing the point. There is a whole division of the Angelic Hierarchy assigned to the sephiroth Chesed (Jupiter) whose purpose is divine inspiration through laughter. And there is no vision more critical in the career of the adept than the Metaversal Joke. Did you here the one about the astrologer who broke his arm and attributed it to an accident? This is a time for dreaming and visioning giving the incoming visions space and recognition without necessarily acting upon them until you feel clarity from your inner guidance. What is the nature of this inner guidance? First, it is a twin child, the male-female Holy Spirit of the Gnostic Mass, the living fruit of two sexual partners.

The Book of Lies teaches that seed and child and parent are mystically one, and that the seed represents the innermost and highest expression of the parent. In the Star Sapphire, a ritual form of the IX, the invocation brings father, mother, son, and daughter (YHVH, above) into one point of mystic union, referred to as Ararita. This daughter-son, the living elixir, is made a sacrifice to the magical goal of the working. Note that it is not metaphorically alive, but literally alive, containing a great quantity of living cells. Thus, for the male magician, it is the sacrifice of "all that he is and all that he has" into the "Cup of Babalon", which is held by the Scarlet Woman of Babylon and in which the blood of the saints is said to be mingled. The inner incubation time is important and knowing when to intuitively act is a part of the process. Even projects already in motion may benefit from releasing attachments to specific pictures or outcomes and allowing for the possibility of even greater expression to unfold.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24
The Day of Venus in Fireweek. If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey, surviving compression, sometimes known as the rapture, or death, or solar maxima in being able to follow your bliss. Because the DNA, being a self-organising magnetic shape-shifting worm, when it has implosion at the centre is able to become self-organising, and self-steering electrically. And that gives the ability to lucid dream, travel in time, survive death, and all the fun stuff. But if you haven’t found a path which includes passion and bliss, then literally your DNA is not ignited and it costs you that tornado we call getting a soul. What that boils down to is the hygiene for bliss which in principles is a simple science replacing religion in that sense. We don’t need the fairy tales, the miracle worship, or the personality worship. We need the hygiene for bliss, we must be able to teach our children bliss, and ultimately groups, like soul groups, that form and do bliss process together, and fusion experience is then what enables soul groups to migrate and travel through the sun into stars. So it is survival related to be able to find your bliss and follow your passion.

Lust for life and expansion of the boundaries of pleasure are supported now, what with Vewnus now in Sagittarius. Love is about expanding limits here. We may give up some of the comfortable patterns of the past and risk relationship safety for new levels of experience. Love needs to grow now; it will not stand still. Travel, learning and a taste for all that's foreign may be heightened. It's hard to stick to the old routine when the planet of pleasure hits the road. This desire for the new and exotic may reveal some weakness of judgment. Purchases are more likely made with joyful abandon rather than with an eye on long-term value. People, too, can be overrated, particularly if they offer the promise of adventure or enlightenment.

SATURNSDAY, NOVEMBER 25
Moon is in freedom-loving Aquarius, and we may feel like being off and flying. The Moon in Aquarius today is doing it's own thing Aquarius represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between 12 weeks to 28 weeks after Conception, when the electrick nervous system of the fetus switches on. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Meteversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Aquarius represents the higher Self projecting itself to the world tribe, through media, groups, circles of friends (your Tribe) and utopian aims and idealistic pursuits alter the prevailing social systems. On the World scale, Aquarius occupies the period between AD 1840 and 1910. This was the time when the established dominance of the material world in Capricorn quickly required more sophisticated planning, spurred by Schopenhauer, ideas and beliefs from the east began flooding the West through such diverse channels as the Theosophical Society, the Golden Dawn, and the operas of Wagner. This was the time of Crowley, Nietzsce, and the early works of Freud. With the Moon in Aquarius we have the ability to combine East and West, Light and Dark, Sun and Moon. This is where we are compelled to reach out to others and network Venus squares Uranus (Aquarius’ ruling planet) in the afternoon. This could represent a social schism or bring new energy to an old relationship. Don’t hesitate, meditate! The essence of meditation is simple, you need to have a very long wave that can then embed short waves. To embed yourself in a long wave is the function of ritual and meditation, as is myosis and mytosis, embedding in a long wave. So that process of getting yourself phase aligned with very long waves is sometimes called rapt, or rapture, or raptor, where you have a vice like sort of grip that you feel electrically when you get really still. And that is a way to commune with the infinite. The risk is that if you do that communion without coming back and bringing it into the world which is called grounding, and grounding is access to a fractal for psychologists or electricians. That if you come back without finally delivering that information you’ve picked up by entering the stillness, it becomes fractionating, that the only way you avoid the hive mind is when you come back and individuate what you’ve learned and find a way to share it practically.

One simple technique where you can experience the spin path to the zero point the wave of collapse which produces fusion and embedding is called the Phi Breath, the Golden Mean Ratio Breath. And if you were to visualise a caduceus where you have a long wave, and then a shorter, and then a shorter, which is a spin path to a zero point. The caduceus is the symbol of the medical profession. And if you were to do a breath based on that geometry, you take a very big breath, and then a smaller breath 0.61 as deep and as long, and a smaller breath, and then a tiny breath, you create a continuous spin path into stillness. And from the stillness you can enter the field charge.

Noise For Tots

Experimental Music Made by Kids
via Paper Thin Walls

After PTW ran a piece on the WTBTN compilation a few months ago, I got into a little back-n-forth about other ideas for noise/experimental features with the editor and tipped him off about all of the families I've found out about who are doing experimental music with their kids, tossed out a few who I knew about like ctephin, DJ French Fry and a few others that my friend Leporidae sent me. After about an hour of endless chat, it was decided that the subject would definitely make a great feature, which indeed it did, including a fantastic interview with the ctephin family. Nice work to all of the writers and editor at PTW!

Read reviews and listen to tracks from:

MONSTER DUDES
LARI WHITE
THE CTEPHIN FAMILY ORCHESTRA
ROCK JACK
DJ FRENCH FRY
EYEBALL SKELETON

Three cheers for noizer-kids of the future! The future is NOW! Long live NOISE!
