Musings of A Modern Hermit

  Namaste, Y'all, Have you noticed how many people are in denial in their lives lately? From their worldview to their personal, the reality of this is astounding. It's a phenomenon the lengths we humans will go to shift a narrative (no matter how off the wall or impossible) in our ego-driven favor to prove our rightness. When we go out of our way to make a square object and push effortlessly through a space designed specifically for a circle, we are labeled stupid and crazy for not thinking logically about the obvious. But when we transfer the exact same logic and concept over to our personal relationships, all logic and perception are tossed aside. Where do we try and constantly fail to make people fit into our lives? Doesn't 'free will' mean anything to you?  Whatever happened to being organic (atuthentic and autonomous) in our individual characteristics instead of trying to fit into the dictates and failed examples of others around us? It seems we've traded m...

  Namaste, Y'all, It's been a minute since my last post, and I'm sure you've been experiencing similar mind blowing events in your life as I have. The times… they are definitely changing. Life is lifen' on levels, ways, and means I never imagined possible. Witnessing the external while having a front row seat to my personal reactions and responses has been just as shocking. In my intimate conversations with family and friends, we are all in a constant state of shock and awe as the world shifts into hyperdrive. It's amazing to be alive during such a period of social unrest paired with technology. I believe it empowers the volatile, like in a sci-fi story, except it's not about AI overthrowing the humans; it's the humans taking each other out.  There have been many moments when I've had to stop and reference something I read by Robert Silverberg, Harlan Ellison, and Yevgeny Zamyatin, to name a few. Life has become its author of its dystopia, and we rea...

Namaste, Y'all, I feel moved to share some of my current experiences since the astral planet Venus has gone retrograde in the zodiac sign of Scorpio last Saturday. This is a period of going down memory lane reviewing bittersweet breakups and harsh endings. Now talk about revisiting (retrograde: to go within to explore or revisit the past) old cycles and roles that I've outgrown and left behind that I recently discovered I was actually back in one of these roles, exhibiting uncomfortable behaviors.   One is getting involved in situationships and toxic relationships as a referee and sounding board. It's one thing to share what's on your mind and express yourself, and a whole other one when advice asked for is given and not taken, but the cycle is expected to continue. It's a waste of time, energy, and taxing on the central nervous system, and you're not getting paid, and the offending party remains stuck in their discomfort, demanding your attention. This is the b...

  Namaste, Y'all, We have a massive life-altering astral event happening this Friday: a full moon and lunar eclipse in Pisces. Now talk about going through some changes. The signs of these are already in play, especially in the resistance of those in power not wanting to hold to the rule of law. It's an every man for himself as they try to pull in as many authoritarian moves to maintain control over an already overburdened volitile populus. Those of us living in the US and other territories of authoritarian rule know this well with the current administration and corrupt court systems.  Pisces is ruled by the planets the Moon and Neptune. These two powerful nebulous cosmic sources are masters of casting illusions and enhancing psychic abilities. These two forces that have been in power for millenia (the Piscean Age, 25,920 years) have put humanity under delusions of grandeur that have culminated in harmful results, some of which we will never be able to recover. The spiritual c...

  Namaste, Y'all, It's been a minute since I posted an entry, and for good reason. Life's been lifen' on full tilt boogie since the February 17, 2026, solar eclipse. The global trajectory of humanity's collective consciousness has been shifting it into some of its rudest awakenings as it forced into constant changes it was not prepared for. However, the truth of the matter is that we were forewarned, but the comfort of the willful ignorance and smug false assurances was easier to swallow. And here we are not just witnessing but also directly experiencing the truths we chose to discard. Global markets, established institutions, and systems of cultural foundations and beliefs are all colliding into one big cluster fuck, and no one can stop it.  The ancient scholars, gurus, prophets, seers, astrologers, and other spiritual workers told us that the world would be ending, just not the way that they described, because many of the modern conveniences and technologies had n...

Namaste, Y'all,  We are now officially out of Mercury Retrograde but not quite out of the woods. When a planet is in transit mode (in this case going retro back to direct), it causes the energies on our planet to activate our hidden triggers and unhealed wounds (roughly a couple of weeks or more). These triggers will test our endurance if we've indeed learned critical life lessons and the way we respond under pressure. I'm reminded of the saying, It's always darkest before dawn. So please take this message as a heads up to be a little extra patient and exercise compassion (for yourself and those around you). We are all feeling these shifting energetic tides more than usual from the cosmos, so stay humble and aware of this heightened activity factor.  Also keep in mind that all of us learn at different rates and on various levels (the planet Mercury is a constant reminder of this). Life is the most complex of classrooms serving humanity at once, so remind yourself of thi...

Namaste, Y'all, It's been sometime since my last post, and for good reasons, some of which I will share with you today. Changes have been taking place on the forefront for the better, and for this, I am grateful. Positive forward movement shifts in areas where I was stuck or couldn't circumvent, due to obstacles and hidden forces, have been removed. It's been a relief knowing that cycles that have plagued me for years are now a thing of the past. Being free to relax and enjoy life with a fresh perspective is an amazing gift that I've been taking full advantage of. Learning to surrender the things I cannot control over to the universe is a game changer, and I want to encourage you to do the same. Get yourself healed up! Another area of deep healing has been reclaiming my power from my engrained youth mindset about life, mine in particular. I've been spending quality time in retrospection concerning the toxic programmed ideas about my identity and how much of it w...

  Namaste, Y'all, You know it's crazy just how far people will go at the behest of someone they perceive to be of high status, simply because they have no standards and lack self-worth themselves. Why do we still worship other humans after all of these centuries filled with examples of the implications for doing so? Is it really that hard of a stretch to understand that mankind is mortal and that which is based in truth, love, and justice is infinite? Think about the vast amount of historical and cultural accounts we all have access to and yet still refuse to acknowledge as wisdom. You'd think we'd only been on this earthly plane for a couple of hundred years, not the milineum we constantly deny through repeated self-destructive actions. History repeats itself because we, as humanity, are perpetually stuck on stupid instead of focused on creating changes that improve our lot. Look at our plight at the moment. We are living in a highly developed technological world and s...

  Namaste, Y'all, The past several days have been a personal upfront witnessing of resisting change through key figures exercising their willful ignorance regarding the cosmic law of karma. It's funny how they want to get a rise out of those who've moved on from them and now seem to be doing much better without their low vibrational state of being. This was foreseen by many of us in the spiritual community several months ago, and it's playing out just as described. Petty passive aggressive hits that go nowhere simply because their power has been stripped and left them looking like the immature and weak souls they truly are. Im reminded of the old movie scene where the little boy is punching at the air while the adult male is firmly holding his head with his palm, smirking away. These bitter souls are proving that they've failed to learn critical life lessons and are now suffering the karmic results. Do you know any characters like this?  They're still swinging t...
