Truth or Tricks!

Night breaks, moon rises
The worst nights
Wretched sighs, damn mornings
The worst mornings

"Les Plus Mauvaises Nuits", Indochine (1992)

Next Saturday at 2:49 pm BST is the time of the second full moon of this month of October. A 'Blue Moon' — which happens when we get two full moons in one calendar month — is a rare enough occurrence (hence the term 'once in a blue moon'), but particularly so when it falls on Halloween night — last time was in 1944.

The Witch-Hunter Moon

A couple of days prior to the presidential election in the United States, this highly symbolic epic night is most likely to bring about a major turning-point in the final battle of the spiritual war raging in the invisible worlds and affecting us all in the physical world in a more or less conscious way. Note the cognitive dissonance in all the Kafkaesque, counter-producing, conflicting measures and counter-measures; in all the official lies and informal truths; in all the denial and epiphanies; and in all the endless (anti/pro) divisions and sub-divisions where each and everyone is dying from asphyxiation in their own cataractous plexiglass bubble.

I'm leaving it up to you to savour the fact that this Halloween 'Blue Moon' is also a 'Hunter Moon'. Its symbolism resonating both politically (as the colours of the two opposing parties) and esoterically (as the colours of air/mental realm vs. fire/spiritual realm). Especially when, in addition to being in the spotlight of the Sun hosted by Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld, the lunar orb will join forces with Lilith, her own shadow and Uranus, the Father Sky, in a counterbalancing effort.

Lorna Bevan from Waking World explains that this Halloween Full Moon across the polarity of Taurus and Scorpio (which in astrology represents tangible vs. intangible and material vs. spiritual) “is a reminder of the eternal Law of life and death, of impermanence and regeneration. The Great Awakener Uranus is conjunct the Moon in Taurus. This Uranus transit through Taurus is Universal Mind imploding into Matter — shocking your awareness back to your physicality, rattling your bones, your heart, your electric circuit. As it wakes from the trance coma of unconsciousness, your body is the carrier of your soul. The Awakener in Taurus — symbol of the Tree of Life — has all the makings of a resurrection of the highest order. During such an influx of deep space light, your embodiment experience needs constant grounding as Uranus stimulates change via electrical currents in the Nadis (energetic channels in which circulates the Prana or Vital Energy), acting as a lightning conduit for intuition sensory acuity, Knowing/Gnosis direct from the Noosphere (literally, 'mind-sphere' or Earth’s mental sheathe)”.

The Awakening Of The Serpent

“Expect constant energy fluctuations as your body becomes electric and kundalini rises” she writes. “Paradoxically, this level of awakening requires so much sleep, essential to allow the rewriting of form to occur. Acclimatise to your new energy flow by attuning to whatever your body needs — perhaps a few knock-out days followed by very physically active ones. Drink lots of water.”

In my case, perhaps means 'surely, definitely'. I can even feel the flow of electricity and the vibrations coursing through my body, and my mind is a constant struggle to use as all the information is now diverted to other channels of communication. The great thing is that it can no longer distort messages and instil its own doubts, fear, and confusion. The downside, however, is that I have great difficulty communicating in the physical world and am constantly lost for words. I can't wait until we can all use telepathy!

The karmic Chandra (Hindu moon deity) symbol of the Taurus full moon also resonates a lot with me. It depicts a large ruby inscribed with a prayer:

A beautiful dream that comes true. Conceiving in your heart that a fresh life current is here to be met in the physical. Being magnetised to the spot where the New Earth arises. You feel deeply drawn to give yourself over completely to what the new life-wave asks. Sensing acutely that this is all that counts, and suffering for all of those who are shut off from the bounty. Knowing how hard it is to feel dejected and forsaken and never forgetting the ache, the longing, the distances, and what it takes to earnestly clasp new life and realise you belong to the heavenly kingdom in the Earth and will never again be out in the cold.

~ Elias Lonsdale, Inside Degrees

Heaven And Hell On The Loose

But wait, there's more. As mentioned, the Moon will align with her shadow, i.e. a virtual point corresponding to the second empty focal point of her elliptical orbit around the Earth, known as Black Moon Lilith. The orb is quite large, but the karmic overtone of this aspect should no less be felt. The Black Moon represents our quest for perfection. This is where we both experience suffering and repression, but also sublimation where we can grasp the deep finality of our existence. Her glyph is actually the combination of a moon crescent upon a cross representing the soul transcending physicality.

It is thus very difficult to know what to expect as it mostly depends on the level of evolution and awareness of each and everyone of us. However, as French Canadian astrologer Danielle Clermont writes in her October monthly report, “astrology-wise, this is an all-Uranian full moon we're heading for, i.e. an unpredictable, erratic, perhaps 'shocking' full moon”.

“This Full Blue Moon in Scorpio on October 31, 2020 combining with Uranus retrograde in Taurus will have a very strong impact and may create opportunities for unexpected encounters, sudden shocks, exceptional circumstances, and perhaps 'accidents'. Adaptability, caution, and patience are in order” she says.

And as if it wasn't bad enough, a T-square in cardinal signs (the most active ones) should spice up this highly electric atmosphere. To give you an idea: Mars, the god of war, at home in Aries (and therefore at the peak of his power) is opposing Mercury retrograde in his air element in Libra, the sign of balance and justice, while both are also engaging in a show of strength with the three colossuses squatting Capricorn, the sign of power, authority, and establishment.

This configuration reeks of karma from all ends. At collective level, it presents “an increased risk of economic instability, stock market shock, random policy decisions, rebellion and violence. The world's hot spots are more likely to further inflame. And since Uranus in Taurus is also associated with the Earth as Gaia, there is also an increased risk of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions (or of other natural disasters).”

No need for astrology to see it all coming, you may say. Know that the dark forces, who are still pulling the strings, will be the most affected by these strong turbulences as they are being exposed and brought to light. And seeing is believing! Keep in mind that Halloween hallmarks the moment when all the boundaries between the visible and the invisible worlds are temporarily removed. And most and foremost, that Halloween is the equivalent of New Year's Eve for Satanists.

So even if you don't believe in all this and find this horror parade fun and entertaining, you must not think that feeding them your energy and attention by celebrating this holiday is of no significance. Do as you please and as you feel, but make sure you are fully aware of what is at stake for this is no longer time for ignorance. It is all truth or tricks now.

I lit the sun
For this child in slumber
I woke the heat
To enlighten and dry his tears
I filled the garden with flowers
To keep out the night, the cold,
And adversity
I filled his path with exhilaration
And with a thousand lights
And a thousand colours
Tonight

Self-Love: How to Nurture Inner Peace

To me, the best training you can get is from daily life. I think we all have had interactions such as, for instance, in road traffic where some drivers can behave like animals.

Just outside my home, there's a country lane which covers a couple of kilometers and I always come across drivers who yield and greet me and it feels like we are on the same wavelength — and there are others who are outrightly domineering, who won't yield and expect you to yield, you don't know how and why, and on top of that, aren't even grateful, leaving you wondering why this still happens in 2020. Why is that you have this kind of perception that you should dominate everyone around you? Why can't you just say “thank you” and why can't you understand that together we can all have fraternal relationships? What is it that prevents you from having such relationships?

The answer is up to them. Everyone is on their own different level of evolution. Therefore I won't play his ego game. Because it's an ego domination game they're in. If I get into this, if I get angry, he wins. Anger is a weakness, so I won't be overwhelmed by it. I can feel anger rise inside, yet I choose to let go. I don't want to hurt myself for I know that my anger won't hurt him — he won't change because I get angry at him — but it definitely will hurt me. And these two minutes could ruin a wonderful day when I was so happy to get to where I wanted to go. So I come to my senses (since, again, I can only work to change myself) and tell myself that it's no big deal and still sincerely wish him to change his viewpoint because we really need the world to change. I wish him all the best from the bottom of my heart.

Sending love to Your SELF

While the watchword would be to “send him love”, I, for one, find that utterly hypocritical as most of the times, we don't mean it. It is so hypocritical to say that as I explained a couple of years ago in a workshop video. Saying that you must send love to the other person is completely daft. And absolutely wrong. Because in those circumstances where they really pissed you off (that's the word), they're not the one who need love! The one who is upset is you. You're unhappy because they misbehaved. I'm starting to feel angry therefore I'm the one who needs love since I'm straying from my own light. I am actually creating the consequences. However, the consequences may end with me instead of me sending and amplifying them. Therefore I'm the one who needs love. It means I need to calm down.

So how can I calm down? Through full awareness.

I am fully aware that the domineering behaviour totally lacks awareness. This person is hypnotised. They might simply be stuck in their own doldrums, caught up in a mental loop. There is nobody home and they are so worried that perhaps they're not even aware of what is happening. I don't know. I don't know this person. I cannot judge her through the game they play. Who knows, under normal circumstances, they may be quite cool. I have no idea. So I come back to my senses and acknowledge that that I don't know. I don't know why. i don't know the reasons why I'm experiencing this situation, but all I know is the attitude and the response I can adopt. This is where I can have control.

Therefore I need to send love to myself. It's okay Lulu, no big deal. I will still have a great day and also I sincerely hope this man will be able to move on and I wish him the very best. And I really mean it for we want to help people. Simply because we wish everyone could help one another so that we become more receptive and more fraternal in our interactions. This is far from being unhealthy. But on the other hand, if instead you feel angry (“this is wrong, he's such a pain in the ass, I'm going to send him love”),  this comes as purely hypocritical because, anyway, when you reside in your mental body, your love cannot go anywhere. Don't fool yourself, this is not love you're sending. You must stop claiming that. You need to send love to yourself. This how I send love to myself. Thus I come to full awareness and no longer harbour any animosity against this person as I understand — am aware of the situation. This is what sending love means. It's sending love to yourself. This is the first step to be able to really love the other person for who they are, i.e. I don't wish ill to this man, but I can understand him.

A daily learning process

Finally, I think that once you understand the basic principle of self-love, you can apply it on a daily basis to any situation. Thus, you will notice when you're hurting yourself.  I said 'no', but I actually meant 'yes' — I'm hurting myself! I agreed to take charge of everything, but now I don't feel like it anymore— I'm hurting myself!

It happens every time you bypass your deep inner desire.

It might seem trivial, but I hear from people who don't like their job, who don't like their partner, and who can't see how they ended up in this situation. It's through all these little things. And now they would like a magic wand to change things!

I get messages from people who write “I'm waiting for the world to change so that my life can change at last”. Your life is actually all the consequences of what you did not apply to yourself — of all this non-love. Now if you start with little things such as stopping to not loving yourself and not respecting your will (your true will) — this is self-love, then you'll see that things will change. You will see that real life is about doing the things we love and that everything falls into place through the little things we do on a daily basis, through the people we meet every day and all the influences, all the stuff you did inside. All these things fall into place because they also create positive consequences for your own well-being. And you will be the first to see it. Also because you'll be at the forefront. All this is for you.

One more thing to avoid guilty feelings. You need to know that it's fairly simple yet not very easy. The simplest things are not necessarily easy to apply. It's okay if you have trouble at first and then say “I didn't listen to myself”, etc. The first step is the will to change and implement new things within you. The rest will follow progressively. It's just like when you learn to ride a bike. So you shouldn't feel guilty, take it easy — as easy as possible. Make it fun too, it helps a lot. Also, don't take things too seriously, be light and consider that you'll have a whole new day tomorrow to improve. The great thing is that's the purpose of our being here so no strain.

Self-Love: How to Stay Centred in Times of Trouble

To stay centred and aligned with yourself is the same as maintaining your inner peace. You cannot achieve inner peace while focusing your attention on the outside. In other words, in times of trouble, I can't wait for things on the outside to turn right in order to find inner peace because it will never happen. It's been this way for thousands of years on this planet with all the crimes committed against humans, animals and everything.

You cannot be at peace while waiting for the outside world to be at peace. No, you need to find your own peace first as it's only when eight billion human beings find their own inner peace that things will begin to change and that peace can be created. Peace needs to be created inside first and not until everything settles down on the outside. It's not “Okay, now everything's fine so I'm fine too!” It's not the way it goes.

So how can you stay centred in times of trouble?

Of course, we're constantly affected by external sources from people under stress, news on TV,  social media... anything which has a negative impact and which you consume just like junk food. At this point, it's very important to limit those influences.

It's exactly the same as when you eat candy all day. Make no mistake, after a while it's going to affect your health. You will develop tooth cavities, become overweight or... I don't know. There are many possible consequences. Same here: what you watch, what you listen to, what you understand, and the folks you hang around with do have a tremendous impact on your state of mind and your state of being.

First of all, you'll need to be even more selective within because you will be constantly subjected to negative influences. Thus you feel urged to dig deep, sort things out, etc., and in addition, it truly sucks your energy because it's very hard to stay afloat when you're exposed to toxic fumes all the time. It's hard not be impacted when all this toxicity is blown a you.

So the first thing is to surround yourself with the right people. There are people, in my opinion, whom I can love best if there is a safe distance between us. We do understand that they're dwelling in their own consequences and do not necessarily wish to create harmony within. It's either because they're unable to or because they don't get the point. In short, your role is not to convince them anyway. So these people have their own path to travel.

It doesn't mean you have to bear the consequences of their chosen path so you'll find there are people you appreciate better when they're not around and when you don't have to constantly interact with them because every time you do, you feel drained when you get back home or after a phone-call. I'm sure thousands of people experience this on a daily basis. They know when they get a call from this particular person that they will get drained and exhausted afterwards. There is a reason to that. These are warning signs. We are sensitive beings. We know and we feel things. We don't need to express them to feel them. So, it's important to limit the impact of external influences.

Some people come to me in a panic and say “Ahaa! There we go, I don't know who to believe or what to listen to. What's next, Lulu?” First of all, stop reading about anything and everything everywhere right now. What good does it do except delving into your fears? Do you want to control the future? Nobody knows, nobody can. The only thing you can control is your present moment in the Now. You need to stay aligned with it because the only thing you can control today is your state of being in the Now. You cannot hold anything outside of you, you cannot control events. But you can control yourself, yes you can. You can be the master of the thoughts transiting inside.

Acquiring mastery over involutive emotions for the common good

When you start getting mad at something —  a self-help concept I totally disagree with is when people say you need to live your emotions to the full. So when you're angry, you need to live your anger to the full! Come on, that 's how infanticides are committed every day. In two months during lockdown, hundreds of thousands of children got killed this way. So no, you don't do this. “I acknowledge there is a feeling of anger growing in me and I'm fully aware that it can hack me off and prompt me to take action in something totally uncentred.”

Anger can create an enormous storm within that will affect all my organs, awashing them with destructive energy and extremely low frequencies, and thus weaken my immune system. And later on, there will be a price to pay for this low-frequency storm. In addition, if I blow out and start throwing stuff or say things I don't mean, all my family will be impacted. I will have an impact with consequences that will reiterate over very long periods of time. For today, right now, we are still in the aftermath of what happened a long, long time ago.

To stop hurting yourself is also understanding that there are involutive emotions which do no not serve me and that I need to detect them before getting dispossessed of myself. Sorry, but when you're totally washed away with anger, you're no longer yourself, you are dispossessed of yourself. Hence the phrase: “ I was beside myself”. You're no longer yourself, it's not the light speaking through you, but the angst which dispossessed you. It's the angst speaking, not you. So now you need to understand and take responsibility for ceasing to give substance to such involutive feelings.

Imagine seven billion people doing that. There would be no more infanticides, in this specific case of anger. You would no longer get angry at a child or a woman, a man, an animal.. to kill them. So let's just imagine how the world itself would change if we acquired such mastery over involutive feelings. Self-love is far from being a fantasy land conspiracy!

Full awareness means being aware of what's going on through me and taking sole responsibility for it. Indeed, the world we live in today where courts try crimes of passion, which implies that we find excuses to the fact that someone may have been so much in love that they felt the urge to kill another. It only highlights a serious issue about the lack of self-control, self-awareness and self-development of this inner consciousness.

For me self-help (or self-development) is everything but personal. It has a universal reach. It a development which is common to everyone in fact. It's for the common good. The good of all. It's not a self thing.

Self-Help: How to Actually Love Yourself

In Love Always
Pros and cons usually are hatred.
They stare at me, assuming that
I am this girl whom I'm actually not.
Too fragile, going into exile,
Too many tell-tale nights
Alienating me from myself.

"Tandem", Vanessa Paradis (1990)

It seems only 'natural' in such an absurd world as ours, ruled by doublethink, to declare self-love as an egoistical, antisocial practice, if not a sure sign of sociopathy!

In fact, sociopaths are what they are because they have no self-love at all. How could they possibly give out something they don't have within? How can you hope to love people if you don't love yourself? How can you feel the love they send you if you can't feel it within you? Why would you expect sociopaths in power to promote anything else but self-loathing and hatred of others (who, by the way, are just our reflection in the mirror)?

From the perspective of the broken logic of our mental programming, such statements might sound totally ludicrous, stupid and preposterous to those who don't buy into this nonsense. If you're one of those, I am truly sorry for you dear friends, but maybe you stumbled upon this article because your Higher Self actually wanted to draw your attention?

If not, I sincerely hope this transcript from a a 30-minute long video by Lulumineuse will prove as helpful for you as it has been for me in your quest for happiness. Since it's a long read, I chose to divide it in three distinct parts which will be pos Ey@el

What is self-love and how can you love yourself? I think the most fundamental thing you need to understand first is that you need to approach it in reverse. Let me explain: instead of asking: “How can I love myself?”, you should ask: “How can I stop hurting myself?”

I stop hurting myself when I let Love be. Love is already within because we are beings of pure Love (i.e. all our cells have been created by the Universal Abundance which is Love, the Source, God, the Tao... you name it). It is an infinite, universal creative force you find everywhere. It is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent — it's Love and that's what we are. So “How can I love myself?” becomes “How can I stop hurting myself on a daily basis?”. A comprehensive reply would be: “I listen to myself”. Now the problem is “How can I listen to myself?”

So how can I listen to myself, Lulu?

You should start with the most simple things, that is everything which takes place inside of you. Do you really love yourself when you torment yourself, brooding, harping on pervasive ideas which do not serve you and which poison and trap you? Do you really love yourself when from 9 to 11am, you consistently remind yourself that you have to hang out the laundry just like some kind of a persecutor would do and just as if it was actually a threat hanging over you? Do you really love yourself right now? No, you're actually hurting yourself. Because you blame yourself and you set up your own inner tyranny. These little details in your daily life show how you prevent yourself from loving yourself. You need to sort out pervasive thoughts, tormenting thoughts, and straining thoughts because they are like prison chains. Nothing can ever hurt you as much as your own thoughts. Nothing can ever upset you as much as your own thoughts.

And the first thing you need to understand is “What is it that I create inside?” “ What do I allow to happen inside of me?”

I need to be the master of my own thoughts. It doesn't mean I need to be 'controlling'. It means that I need to manage the impact of my own thoughts on my body, on my psyche, and on the way I live. I don't want to worry all morning long because of that laundry thing. Whereas if I free myself from this thought and head for self-love... what does it mean? It means I make the choice to free myself from this castration, from this pressure (even if it's just an insignificant thought), and I choose to trust that Providence, the Love which applies to everything in the Universe, will provide a natural window (maybe at 10:39am) where everything falls into place so that I can hang out my laundry in five minutes and in good spirit.

This is what self-love feels like in you daily life. It is that simple, but 'that simple' uplifts your spirits everyday, while your mood also affects everyone's mood around like your family, your partner, your children, and even your pets if you have any. Your mood has tremendous impact on your close circle, but also on the people you meet during the day, whether it's through messaging or in the flesh. You bet it does, because your vibration is different!

You're no longer hypnotised by your own thoughts. You are in control of yourself i.e. you have done the sorting job so as to remain available and so are you for the people you meet. And thus you'll see who is available and who is not when you meet them. You will find that many people don't do that job. They are hypnotised, they're not in self-love for they actually don't even know that this is something you can work on. It is the first thing you need to be aware of.

How can I find self-reassurance?

The process we usually go through to find self-reassurance is actually a great source of anxiety. Do you really think that constantly reminding yourself you have to hang out the laundry in order to ensure it does get done is in any way appeasing? It is not and will create more anxiety! So, you need to understand that which you believe is reassuring for you actually creates the opposite. It is the complete opposite of feeling positive. This is control i.e. I keep the upper hand for sure, but I keep the upper hand on an external event of which I don't know all the specifics. I am still in a state of fear that it won't get done, which means I don't know what is going to happen. I have to hang out the laundry this morning because I won't be home this afternoon, so I must absolutely do it now. But who knows, in five minutes' time my kid may ask me something that will take me half an hour and I won't have time after that, I still have to tidy up the place, etc. I'm constantly trying to control things yet I do not get a grip on events. I don't know whether my kid will need help. I don't know whether my stuff... right now, I might trip on something and then I will need to tidy the room. I have no idea what might happen. The only control I can have is over myself.

What does “how to cope with inner stuff” mean?

It means I need to find self-reassurance, but how? Well, through example. Because you have gained this mastery, you have controlled this thought saying to yourself “there will be a window where my laundry gets done”, you apply it to everything. And all of a sudden, given that you have let go and that your mind is greatly available, everything falls in its right place. You get ideas that could never have crossed your mind before because you were totally busy and overwhelmed. And given that you have made space, a new availability sets in. And born of this new availability is a new organisation. This organisation is more intuitive, more instinctive and thus is based on Love — where do you think intuition comes from? It comes from the Great Force, the Great Intelligence hence Love! So, when you make room for this intuitive space, all of a sudden, you find that at 10:37am everything gets done... wow! So now, I have five minutes to go and hang out my laundry. It's amazing how everything worked out in the end!

Therefore out of this comes experience. And with experience you grow an ever-increasing faith. That I know it will be taken care of because I am a vibrating energy, I know what I have vibrated, and I know that all this energy, all this whole which I'm part of, responds in harmony with what I'm vibrating. The Universe doesn't work against me, I work with the Universe.

So, in the first instance, there I am nurturing the same thought and I have the impression that things work against me so I need to control them while I actually have no power over them. But in the second instance, when I decide to free myself, I can feel that together we work in harmony and that I will be given a window to do what I have asked for because this is how I need to do it. This is what self-love is like. It starts with respecting and trying not to control all the life involved around you, ignoring your own thoughts which eventually hide from you the availability to do things.

To be continued soon...

Deep Days

We are the people on the edge of the night
Drawn in together now and hold the light
We start this dance tonight, never to drop
Moving together now, we won't ever stop

Where you go, I will go
Where you stay, I will stay
Where you sleep, I will sleep
And when you rise, I will rise
Where you go, I will go
And if you fall, you can fall on me

My days are spent within the sound of your voice
My nights are spent within the reach of your hand
We start this dance tonight and never to drop
Moving together, girl, we won't ever stop

Where you go, I will go
Where you stay, I will stay
Where you sleep, I will sleep
And when you rise, I will rise
Where you go, I will go
And if you fall, you can fall on me

Where you go, I will go
Where you stay, I will stay
Where you sleep, I will sleep
And when you rise, I will rise

Where you go, I will go
Where you stay, I will stay
Where you sleep, I will sleep
And when you rise, I will rise
Where you go, I will go
And if you fall, you can fall on me
