Do you ever feel like life is just totally overwhelming? Like you are having so many experiences – sensory, emotional, intellectual – that it sometimes feels like there’s no way of fully digesting it all?
I get that feeling all the time.
The other day, White Self-Existing Mirror day in fact, it was a beautiful day here in southern Oregon. The smoke had been gone for at least a week, and we had finally gotten some rain to at least begin quenching the land. The fall colors had begun.
Going on a walk with my co-workers during break I was struck with just how beautiful a day it was! Especially to the eyes. Everywhere I looked was a picturesque masterpiece of visual beauty of the natural world. The mountains surrounding the valley floating vividly – a perfect frame to the sites of autumn beauty right in front of me.
As I took in this lovely vision, I remembered at that moment it was a White Self-Existing Mirror day. Mirrors are something you look into. Today was filled with visual beauty. I had this kind of feeling like my mind was being organized a little bit more clearly, or like my experiences were being sorted in a way in which I could more fully appreciate all its facets. In other words, the White Mirror was literally reflecting to me not only the stunning vistas before me, but the order and harmony coded into our very senses…
It occurred to me the 13 Moon Calendar often does this. Through its codes, the daily galactic signature and the cycles of the 13 Moons, often speak to a certain wavelength, or category of human experience. Almost like a kind of cosmic pre-school! Today we’re going to be learning about Breath, or Art, or Magic, or Love, or Reflection, or Energy. Then those elements of your day naturally become amplified – assuming you’re paying attention.
It’s not so much that we should all be thinking about the same thing every day, but that the codes of the galactic signature give you an opportunity to pay closer attention to how that code speaks to you during that day.
This can allow you to, on a cyclic basis, better digest all the myriad experiences you are constantly surfing through – and ideally offering you a kind of hand and foot hold as you ascend the mountainside of wisdom, clarity, perspective.
Or, in terms of the cycle of 13 Moons – called the planetary service wavespell – we, every 28 days, begin a new stage in a year-long process of reflecting: How can I serve the planet? It progresses in stages – the first Moon asking “What is my purpose?” Then: “What is my challenge?” “How can I best serve?” “What is the form my service will take?” And so on.
True, this is kind of like a programming device, but it’s in sharp contrast to the regiment of Hallmark and Government Holidays we’re already programmed with anyway – so why not upgrade? 😸
