Taking the Plunge
Talk about an intense full moon! This past week has been really crazy for me and I’m sure it has been crazy for all of you as well. The title of this post is Taking the Plunge and I’ve titled it Taking the Plunge for a good reason.. That seems to be what this energy has been about. When we think of the natural cycles of nature, we think about the snow melting and the new life bursting forth. If we can align our lives with nature’s cycles, then we are in tune with the energy and things will work better for us. I’ve been trying to do this for several years now, and each spring I’m beginning to recognize a similar pattern that takes place. The time period from the winter solstice, when new light comes in for the first time, until the spring equinox, seems to be a time of conflict in the astral planes were persons, events, and things struggle for their own existence. In metaphorical terms, the seed is lying in the ground and some of those seeds will receive the energy of growth and others won’t. This time period between the winter solstice and the spring equinox seems to be when this natural sorting out takes place.
The time period from the spring equinox to the first complete full moon cycle, which happens to be Beltaine, is different, and a different energetic struggle is taking place. What seems to be happening at this time is that those things that have been selected to move forward into physical manifestation are sorting themselves out according to hierarchy. Some things receive more energy than other things, and it’s during this time where everything lines up as if in a printing queue and everything takes its place, waiting for physical manifestation, which will ultimately lead to the harvest in the fall.
While this has certainly been true for me, I now feel the door closing behind me and the new door opening in front of me. It is a feeling of out with the old and in with the new. I’m personally still trying to come to terms with it. But this new phase is very exciting as well because totally unexplored areas of possibility are opening up to me that will allow greater productivity and creativity!
While the beginning seems to be a struggle, I know that the end result is going to be amazing! So that brings us to some new changes at Anarchist World. Anarchist World just celebrated its first birthday, and what a first year it has been! It has been a real struggle for me to find the time to translate and to keep up with this massive web page and the blogs, keeping them functioning the way they should. It takes a lot of time and energy and resources to load the blogs for the first time and then set them up for future posting. These posts are now automated to show up every three days. Right now, as I speak, there are 14 completed blogs on Anarchist World. These blogs represent serialized books that have been completed. All but two of these books are ones that I have translated or written myself. The only two that I have not translated or written, are The Ego and His Own by Max Sterner and House of the Vampire by George Sylvester Viereck. Now that these blogs have been completed, all they need is to be continually reset to play over and over again. While this is still labor-intensive, it’s not as labor-intensive as loading or to translating the blogs for the first time.
This is also a substantial amount of material that is being offered for free on this website. In addition to that, my normal blog continues at a fairly regular pace, and I’m in the process of adding a few more blogs that will be equally or even more prolific. This comes as a result of new developments in my personal life where I’m taking action to self empower myself.
My available time for doing these things is still extremely limited. Since I work seven days a week, I’m forcing myself to learn and master Dragon Naturally Speaking, the voice typing program, and I’m dictating new posts as I drive back and forth to work during the day. Because of these posts, you are going to see many more posts of my own writing and interests. In other words, they won’t be translations where I’m translating someone else’s work, but are going to be things that I can dictate while I’m driving back and forth to work in the car. This will allow me to make more regular and frequent posts on my personal blog, and also allow me to create a couple more blogs.
Perhaps the most interesting of these new blogs will be, My Adventures In Voice Typing and Translation. In this blog, I’m going to share my day to day experiences as I struggle in the mastery of this new technology. In this blog. I’m going to be sharing tips and techniques that I use, which other people may find useful to increase their own productivity. The whole thing is about how to leverage your time more effectively during the day.
The next blog, Oak – Morals and Dogma, is going to be the third in a series that follows Modern Survivalism and Magister Templi. Morals and Dogma is intended to be a collection of valuable truth and empowerment tips that I have gained or learned from other sources in earlier parts of my life. While most of them come from my research and studies in Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, other subjects or topics come from cutting-edge research and science that is still in its infancy today. The distinction is that this blog is not really my creation; these thoughts are not my own thoughts, my own creative understandings, but are instead my own perspective on established concepts. These are concepts that I consider valuable and worth integrating into one’s personal life.
Lastly, I hope to use my drive time more effectively in making appropriate posts to the currently existing blog, Magic, Mystery and Madness. This blog is intended as an exploration of the occult sciences and includes my personal insights and experiences in this area.
The Ego and His Own by Max Sterner is a foundational piece of any occult work. To be effective, one’s personal self, their ego, their center, needs to be developed. They need to be self-directed, and follow an internal authority, not an external authority. Our culture and society has taught us to follow external authority, and one of the first things we need to do is free ourselves from this tendency by confronting it with full awareness. That is the purpose of this blog, Magic, Mystery and Madness. At least that’s the purpose of the first portion. So, I’m going to take the gems, the seeds, that I think are the most valuable and share them in this blog.
Hi Joe, thanks for taking time to write another blog. Will your new website have a section where someone can sign-up to be notified of any new blogs you may post? A section where the person can put their email address in and be automatically notified of a new posting. Also, I can surely relate to you about the “one door closing”. I am currently in limbo in both areas of my life. My professional life and my personal life. Where I work the job I have been doing is no longer needed and they want to put me back to what I was doing when I first started working there 17 years ago. Which I have “no” desire to do anymore. I just don;t feel it anymore. In my personal life I also have the choice to go back and live somewhere I have “no” desire to go back too. Its as if both areas of my life is closing but the new hasn’t manifested itself yet to where I can see it and its the old, as of this writing, that’s my only option right now. I have a couple of days before I have to make that choice to go back to the old. I am hoping that something new presents itself soon. Roy
Hi Roy! Thanks for your comment. I believe that all my blogs have a follow feature where you can sign up to be notified of new posts. something that I didn’t say in my post is that I’m usually “protected” against crazy stuff happening and this craziness just proves how rough this transition is. If it rocks my boat I’m not surprised that it rocks other people’s boats as well. The sense that I have is that this is truly the coming out of the cocoon period that most of us have been waiting for. I am amazed at what the future seems to offer, but shaken a bit by the transition. I’ve had to use all my resources in an act of faith to keep things together. Perhaps this act of faith is now required of all of us?
Hi Joe, hang in there Bro…. I have had to use up all my resources as well, especially over the past 4 weeks. I can feel the energy around me shrinking more and more bringing me to Zero Point. I feel that the limbo period that I have been in is just about over and with nothing new presenting itself, I may be forced to go back to the old. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 24-48 hours. Roy
I’m excited about the future, but trusting is not my big point and I think I am slowly learning to trust the universe so it is all good.
