The moon has just passed first quarter. Having to wait three days for the
Crescent, in order to perform my ceremonies, makes the waxing moon an
abbreviated phase. Diana rules the
waxing moon. I am only just now
learning to discern her vibes.
Hecate has been so powerful with me over the years –she is the only one
to have had sex with me, for instance.
And she always helps me clean house.
It took me a few days to regain my energies after the Kooti Despacho,
but today I’m feeling much more energy.
Jesus entered my RDSE sequence this morning, exclaiming in the rush of
energies, “I DIE!”. I’m not happy
to have him back with me, but maybe there’s something I can learn from this
phase of the experience. New Moon
is several weeks away, and I won’t be able to execute another Kooti Despacho
until then. I did make a start on
a Mojo Box to hold his spirit, just this afternoon.
With Diana, I’m energized to make some gains in the outer
world. My experiences are so far
out of line with anyone else’s, it’s hard to find a way to present them. As the energies move and change, I seem
to have discovered a point of entry, and a way to organize my material, so that
I can “turn the heads” of my audience.
I really don’t present what they’re looking for. The glut of Shamanic Practitioners and
other new age healing modalities has warped the noosphere. It should be interesting to observe the
fallout from this twist. New
things are always bred from bad beginnings.
I inadvertently referred to Michael Harner’s phrase, the
OSC, or Ordinary State of Consciousness, in another article. It seems to me that this phrase is
sufficiently ‘psyche-neutral’ to slip past the spell-check on the Ordinary
State of Consciousness which holds my readers.
The Shamanic State of Consciousness (SSC) is so much vaster,
and so much more in touch with Reality, and has so many ‘risky’ doorways, that
it’s no wonder so few really venture into it.
The ‘paranormal’ craze has many people trapped in a sort of
pseudo-Shamanic state –a state paralyzed by birth defects of the psyche. Any time you see the words paranormal,
or occult, run like crazy! These
are dead-ends of the psyche.
Harner hit on such a beautiful entryway into the SSC, with
the simple drum-induced state of the Shamanic Journey! I’ve always regretted that I was taken
away from this mode, but the experience of psychic union with the Gods has been
stupendous. No one really wants to
go through what I’ve had to go through, to get there, though!
It always amuses me that people with spend thousands of
dollars to travel thousands of miles in a cramped airplane, being groped by TSA
agents, to a jungle hut, a Shaman they don’t know, and twenty other strangers
all puking and shitting in the jungle to get high on ayahuasca, when all they
have to do is get a pendulum, a pair of divining rods, and do several years of
work with crystals and vortexes, and they can take their own OSC into the realm
of the Gods. Where’s the glamour
in that?
And they end up trapped in the awareness of the ayahuasca or
peyote deva, instead of flying on the wings of their own consciousness, --their
own Medicine Energies.

Just what is the
OSC? The Ordinary State of
Consciousness; you could call it the Ego, but that would be misleading. We are so far wrong in our bad attitude toward the ego! More on that later….
The OSC is the monster-child of the Second Natural Enemy of
the Spiritual Warrior –Sociology.
The OSC is a paraplegic amputee.
It can’t see upward, it can’t see downward, to the right or the left,
and it’s nearsighted. With such a
limited focus, it’s a miracle we’ve achieved anything at all! But very predictable that what we have
achieved is on the verge of destroying our wonderful planet.
The OSC is the step-child of the Christian paradigm divorced
from the pagan/indigenous universe and remarried to the Industrial
Revolution. The OSC is a prisoner
locked in the skull.
The beauty of yoga is that it provides a way to form an
energetic bridge between the mind-trapped-in-the-skull, and the energetic
aspects of the physical human body.
The beauty of Shamanic Practice is that it provides a way to
form an energetic bridge between the mind-trapped-in-the-body and the mindspace
intelligence of the physical universe.
The beauty of observing the phases of the moon is that they
form a bridge from “being (trapped) in the moment”, to an extension of visceral
time as the energetic psyche transports itself through time and space in the
physical/psychic body. Linked with
the phases of the moon through the time-space-psyche of the human body, the
human awareness (OSC) becomes a multidimensional extension into the infinite
doorways of infinity.
