One way the greater spiritual forces gain our attention is through synchronicities. They may astound you and help you realize that there is a grand design, that things are not just chaotic and dysfunctional on a macro level. One of my greatest synchronicities happened when I had first gotten together with my girlfriend, Dana. She later became the mother of my first child. While we were together, I was sitting in her bedroom reading her journal (with her permission). I came across a sentence that had been written in August of the previous year. On the same day in August of that year, I too had written that exact same, very specific sentence in my journal. Even the commas were in the same place! You can’t have many of these synchronicities throughout your life and go on thinking that the universe is cold, void, detached, and uncaring. You have to feel there is some higher order and find ways to align with it rather than fight it. What synchronicities have you experienced?

Rudolph Steiner says, “When tempted to find an imperfection in the universe, you’ll make progress if you assume the flaw is more due to your temporary failure to grasp the underlying web of unity that connects all things rather than an actual imperfection.” If the universe is a web of unity that connects all things, then when you’re troubled, disheartened, or traumatized, you’re going to be behooved to search deeper to see how what is happening could be connected to some greater unity. This idea doesn’t remove the onus for action or awakening from the human being. Steiner doesn’t tell us to forget everything that’s wrong. He says if you look beyond those flaws and imperfections, you may find a reason for pain, a way to connect it to the things that are working in the universe and inside yourself.

What distinguishes my astrology practice from everyone else’s? My astrology aims at the soul, which is why I call it “Soul Level Astrology.” I knew I needed to give people new stories. And they needed to be stories of the soul. Other astrology practices get caught on the surface of the signs. They’re looking at the appearance of life rather than getting down in. Soul Level Astrology is simply that: astrology for the soul. It penetrates all the way. It’s like the difference between a frozen TV dinner and an organic feast. Will you choose to feast?

Astrology, when used as high art, is the best method I know of for getting to the soul of human beings and helping them grow. Unfortunately, most astrology falls into clichés and is not being used as high art. One of the key things that you need to do to understand astrology signs and transform the version of astrology that’s flat and clichéd into a high art, is to see the signs as journeys. They’re not fixed states that you’re supposed to already have but rather a journey toward what your soul signed up to learn. What journey are you on?

Each life is an art no less mysterious or demanding than painting or sculpting. The art of life is what you get to discover throughout the whole quest of your life by digging down into the soul and discovering what you’re made of. It’s the funny way you do things, the strange way you think of things. That’s your art. Once you stop holding your so-called flaws and faults against yourself, the places where you don’t fit in a dying system, you begin to send powerful messages down into your creative forces. You deserve to find your own unique creativity. The things that make you unique are not your problem. They are your art.

The Sufis have an idea called The True Human Being. As if the version we have is the prototype of a more advanced version who knows that we’re all going to make it to the bright future, or none of us will. As we awaken to realize that we came here for purposes of love, we begin to assist the great changes of our time. This allows the emergence of The True Human Being.

Pluto is reentering Aquarius in March. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was during the Haitian Revolution, French Revolution, and American Revolution in the 18th century. It is calling for a new revolution, but I don’t think the revolution of our time is going to be primarily political. Instead, I think this one is primarily an inner revolution, and secondarily an external revolution. The internal revolution comes with the questions: Who are you? Who are you going to be? What world are you going to create? The external revolution comes from the choice to live by love or fear. Which will you choose?

Most people don’t acknowledge the gift of depression and complicate the already low state with self-judgment. The gift of depression is that it’s a sign that you’ve gotten hyperextended in the world. You’ve left yourself behind, getting caught up in external energies that may not serve the growth of your soul. Depression helps you pull yourself in from the hyperextension in order to commune with creative forces inside. Instead of judging depression, consider it the beginning of a whole new regeneration. You have to go down far enough to come up.

Most people think karma is payback for things they’ve done wrong, or a reward for things done right. Neither is the main purpose of karma. The main purpose of karma is to wake you up in the places where you have been the most asleep and invite you to become present in the places where you’ve been the most absent. The catch is you can’t wake up or gain presence until an old situation reoccurs, revealing the dysfunctional pattern. When it reoccurs it’s easy to fall asleep at the wheel again. Instead, pause and recognize that this is an invitation. What karmic places are you being invited to explore?

Are you growing beyond obsolete levels of consciousness? Do you become frustrated with others who are staying in these old stages? If you are evolving beyond the people around you, consider The Spiritual Outlaw. The Spiritual Outlaw reserves their newfound higher consciousness for moments when it can really work instead of bringing it always into people who are resistant to it. By learning how to function within the old while shifting your allegiance to the new, you become a bridge, securing your journey and allowing others to catch up when they can.

Karma is to the soul what gravity is to the body. It brings us down into reincarnation. Why do we reincarnate? Your soul comes back from Spirit in order to manifest the tremendous love packed into you. Wake up to the message in the darkness. The gift in the shadow. Despite whatever judgment you’re holding against yourself, or the human race, or God, there’s a deep powerful reason why your soul came back. It’s not punishment and it’s not to become perfect. Your soul knew what it was doing when it decided to reincarnate. Being here is a tremendous gift, and this life you live is an art. Will you wake up to the creative force that you are?

People misunderstand karma because they misunderstand the purpose of reincarnation. Most views of reincarnation operate under the idea that we keep coming back to perfect ourselves so that we no longer have to come back. This makes no sense. Why would we come back if the whole point is not to be here? We’d just stay out in the first place. What if we reincarnated for the opposite reason? There’s a way of being here in the physical plane where you gain full presence and consciousness on the many dimensions that intersect with the physical. When you become that aligned, various forces join with you and become your allies in this great dance of awakening. Humanity has forgotten who we are and what we are made of. Every time we remember that we’re made of, love, we release the need to keep getting caught in the undertow of our karma. Karma is the universe's invitation to show up and arrive.

All over the world we need a new story. The old stories have run their course. Old stories of ego need to be replaced with new stories of soul. Love. Hope. Regeneration. There’s a bright futurefighting to come through. Every time an individual opens themselves up to new stories, it releases some of the barriers. This allows a new future to come in for everyone. That energy is supported by your own willingness to believe in a new story. Will you join me here?

Are you caught in a relationship bind, or a dead end between you and another person? Try an approach called, “I’m here and I see you.” This is the square root of all relationships. It’s not, I'm here and I need you to change. Rather it’s the energy of claiming your presence and inviting the other person to do the same. If you can accomplish this, you have a fighting chance to regenerate the relationship.

Right now we’re experiencing what I call, “The End of Everything that Never Worked Right in the First Place.” In the face of dramatic global changes, both hope and fear are swelling. Chaos informs new growth and we’re being asked to be a midwife, assisting the birth of the new, and a hospice worker, assisting the death of the old. Let’s find a way to respond to the call.
