Transiting Mercury was travelling over my conscious Sun on July 9th. It retrograded on July 18th. Going back over my conscious Sun in gate 33.6 on July 26th with a few hours either side.
The insights for me were quite punctual. On July 9th I contacted someone associated loosely with the Law of One in order to discuss spiritual subjects in general with them. The thing I attempted to discuss with this person was my perceived blockage in the fact that I don't seem to be able to "energy heal" myself despite being so close. The reason I broke this down to, after a bit of communication, was potentially down to the sixth archetype of the mind. Where one side is my true self (meditation, music) and the other side was the negative side of this same card (energy healing). As shown, this card shows two contradictory paths.
I wrote two posts on this persons subreddit which was Law of One themed in this time. One on free will, and one on the possibility of the Law of One having a few lies in it. With some historical background on this. The dates of these posts were July 14th and July 21st. The second one of these was banned from the forum. In a way. It is as though the turning point of the energy of my being there happened in the space between these. The midpoint of these two posts was on the date of the Mercury retrograde.On July 26th, I checked the human design transits as I had this thought. I had what might have been an insight into this problem. The insight, which I am still working with. Is that I can do the healing. The above archetype might not have been correct. Might not have been the right one that I am working with. It seems to me at the moment. From having to go back to healing. That I can do healing. I just have to meditate first to bring in the energy. Then energy healing is OK. I have got good results against existing health problems with this strategy.
I have found doing energy work without meditating first to cause some issues. That the healing energy seems to cover my natural energy and confuse me. That I need to do healing first to kind of assert my own energy and to bring the energy in initially. There is two distinct parts of this which should not be combined. Bringing energy in. Then using that energy to change the existing structure.
So that is a thing then. I had an idea on July 9th, at least that's when I started expressing it. That was gained insight into on July 26th. When I come off chocolate, which I am starting to do since I have decided it is not a suitable long term health strategy. This might change. But this is the theory I am working with.
Potentially there is more here though. In relation to the way I interact with people and socialise. There is something I am thinking that may have correlated with this Mercury retrograde.
One of the problems that I get a lot with a certain kind of person. This person conforms to a somewhat traditional Christian outlook but they are also, normal secularist discussion, astrology and things such as the Law of One. Is an absolute narrow mindedness that makes the person impossible to deal with. That I feel I should go some lengths to avoid dealing with this kind of person.
I stopped going on an astrology blog and Law of One forum due to this kind of thing. The kind of thing is is a taking of a moral high ground by the other person and a refusal to engage further. Just like a wall. When any discussion is had. In combination with a kind of subtle manipulation and weasel wording/ sophistry.
A good example is the forgiveness without contrition argument. I have many points against it. So one, which is persuasive. Is that if you forgive without contrition you are acting against the free will of the person being forgiven. Often these people refuse to acknowledge they have done anything wrong. So if you forgive them and communicate this to them, then you are effectively trying to get them to acknowledge your perspective on this matter in a very sneaky way. They might say something like "Well, you deserved it to be beaten up when you were a child, you were a right monster".
The attitude that people that would argue against this would give you back often is something like that you should do it anyway. But no reason would be given. They would not engage with that part of the argument. Then if you were in the discussion with them. A trap that you could fall into. That I have fallen into. Is to try and further justify your argument.
But no, if they will not acknowledge that. It can't be discussed any further in truth. The person will maintain the moral high ground in this circumstance. This is important to mention.
It is this kind of obfuscation that is - it presents a block that must be respected.
I have experienced this kind of dynamic with many subjects. Such as talking about Aaron Abke's perspective. Backed up with bible quotes. That Jesus preached a works based gospel and not a faith based gospel. The lengths of denial Christians have gone to when I have talked to them about this has been insane. I quoted Martin Luther, (founder of Protestantism) supporting unequivocably my point to one of them and they just ignored it. An apparently devout Christian. Every part of the discussion is them deliberately misinterpreting and putting no effort into interpretating what you are saying, and what bible quotes you are bringing in. They ask no questions like a person discussing things with you in good faith.
What is often a shock to me in these situations is the casualness with which people will forsake the spiritual teachings they claim to hold dear. The bible is the literal word of God to Christians. If you quote from it they should listen and acknowledge. In the Law of One. Free will is THE MOST IMPORTANT LAW OF CREATION. There was not even an attempt to disavow or argue another perspective on this. It was just ignored. Not 'my understanding of free will is x, where you have gone wrong is y backed up by Law of One quote z'. It's just... nothing.
People don't though. They don't care or accept these things as authority in their lives if they collide with their personal emotional preference.
I really don't know if any of this has a point or is guided on some sort of grand level. Is this my service? Or is it just a waste of time? I don't feel that my behaviour in getting in these discussion reflects well Jesus' teachings of 'Don't give Pearls to Swine'.
My point being, and this is the important point that would correlate with Mercury retrograde. As it has always seemed to relate to the social life in some way. Is that it is, I think, worth considering, how to completely keep these unproductive discussions out of my life.
There is a problem here in that a lot of these discussions come originally from an attempt to solve a very solid problem that does not seem to be going anywhere. That of loneliness and relative solitude. That ends with me attempting to communicate to others through things like twitter. Where the algorithm puts Christian comments on my feed. I don't follow these people.
They are close minded and not particularly nice people. I commented on one of their posts earlier today and went back and deleted it as I know they will never hear me. These are still the group that universally ostracise people for studying astrology and will ostracise me for that reason as well. Nothing outside a very narrow and stupid viewpoint will get them to communicate in good faith.
It's very tiring. I think the world is dysfunctional and others are probably stuck in similar looping dysfunctions. It's worth nothing though I think, and I do think it does correlate with Mercury retrograde in general. I actually started this article with a whole other idea of how I was going to communicate this same thing. About an example on a youtube show of someone not having awareness of how non moral their apparently moral beliefs were. Reflecting on how many people are like this and what catalyst this kind of thing might attract. But I suppose I went another route.
