​​"This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labour to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem..."
~ Walt Whitman
 
Greetings Earthlings,

I feel, therefore I am. This is the mantra for Cancer, the Cardinal sign in the Zodiac for Water.  Our bodies made up of 60% or more of water, as is our planet. In a channelling I did ages ago, a source postulated that water is Goddess Consciousness made visible. That is to say, the supernal Light of Consciousness becomes embodied in as water in a 3rd dimensional level. It permeates everything and carries the spark of atomic and biological Life.

The blood flowing through our veins is just another type of water.  Water is the main component in the constitution of the atmospheric envelope around this planet, and miraculously this planet is perfectly positioned to the Sun to sustain organic Life.  Whenever astrophysicists encounter a planetary body that has even a smidgeon of water on it, then it is cause for celebration because it could support LIFE!

On Monday, June 21st, at approximately 3:33am UT (4:33am BST) the position of our Sun will ingress into the sign of Cancer. The Moon will be at 9 degrees of Scorpio, which will add to the intensity of this Solstice moment, technically the longest day of light in the Northern Hemisphere.  Everything becomes more visible as it were, and things and situations will stand out more. The very next day at 22:00 UT, Mercury will station direct in Gemini.  It will already be at a standstill at the time of the Solstice.  What happens next is that the truth will out.  About quite a few things.  A seminal moment in coming to grips with the Zeitgeist we have been living through for 18 months.

The archetype of Cancer it represents cuddly stuff.  Warmth, protection, nurturing, childbearing and child-rearing, fecundity (in a polite sort of way), and Mother.  She also is the Goddess aspect of Divine Mother. But you do not want to see Mama upset, cause if Mama is not happy, ain't nobody happy.  The shadow side of Cancer (Capricorn) can be smothering instead of mothering, being told what to do because it is for your own good you know, and passive-aggressive control tendencies.

However, with the Solstice, the strongest intuition is to connect with Consciousness as expressed in bodily form.  Spirit AS the Body.  No boundaries, no separation, no distinction.  God/Goddess as your essence and form.

Our innate body sense is often ignored in favour of the mind, and both end up suffering. We innately KNOW what is right and correct, and if we go against that with our logic, we will not have an incredibly happy time of it.  This has recently been brought home to me on a personal level.  If we do not listen, and nurture, and harmonize, our bodies will reflect the disjointed or stressed-out state of our mind and emotions.

On a more expansive scale, we can be aware that this is exactly what the planetary biosphere is doing.  Nature is telling us something is wrong, and doing so without blame or judgment, but with an urgency that seems to say; “you can no longer ignore these conditions…either within you or without you.”

Nurture is Nature…and is our nature.   We ignore this at our peril. To nurture our thoughts towards a more loving way may be found in observing how Nature provides unequivocally for all creatures and living things. Yes, that reflects what Jesus is reported to have said; “behold, the lilies of the field, how they neither spin nor sow…” and other metaphors like that.

During a walk recently I stood at a fence overlooking a meadow that was filled with wild plants and flowers and watched as hundreds of bees of all types were busily moving from flower to flower.  In the space of a few minutes, I could telepathically and emotionally feel what was transpiring. Nature was nurturing the bees, and in turn Her plants were benefiting.  In short order, I was suddenly part of the natural order.  Observing yet participating.  To my surprise I discovered that there were tears on my cheeks.  I came to realize that what is transpiring in the world of humans has no power as great as what I was briefly part of in this moment. None.

Our species seems to have stepped so far away from the relationship that could so nurture and educate us.  The opportunity on Monday is to pause and connect with the twin energies of Sun and Mother Earth.  An opportunity to remember, and to embrace this deepest of truths: we are loved, we are looked after (if we permit it), and there is a compassionate order that abides in Nature.

What shall we do with this moment, and the ones to follow?  How then shall we live? Please re-read the words of Walt Whitman that this post began with for some inspiration. Examine closely what you value, and where you store up your riches.  The key is surrendering into the unknown while following your Nature, by being as real as you can be.  Sounds like a tall order.  Maybe it is.  But that is what the little mind will always tell you.  Time to listen to deeper wisdoms and be nurtured from the bosom of the mother.

Blessings on your journey and with lots of love,
Isaac

​Recently I viewed a short documentary film of the amazing testimony of Mr. Eric (Slowhand) Clapton, one of the world’s foremost electric blues guitarist, in which Eric recounts his decision to have the Covid jabs, and what happened in the wake of that choice. During the interview his light was shining, his love and caring towards family and friends very evident. He spoke about not being informed of the potential harm these jabs can cause, and now risks his reputation and career by advising others to avoid them. This Summer Solstice is the marker for the “Chart of the World” when the Sun enters the sign of Cancer, which is about nurturing, motherly love, and protection. We are being called to look within and find and hold onto a vision of that Love, to not lose sight of our humanity, and to seek to provide comfort to everyone who asks us for it. Eric courageously reached out and was met by a compassionate audience ready to support and listen. May we all be so courageous, and compassionate.
