PISCES is the OCEAN OF LOVE

Pisces is the last and most difficult [water] sign to understand. And there in lies the rub – we simply can’t understand Pisces. Pisces defies all mental activities of the rational mind. We can experience the wonders of Piscean waters only if we are willing and able to plunge into the cosmic sea of the ADHD Spirit. If not, we will be confused, deceived and endlessly chasing illusions.

The Piscean options are fairly clear cut – confusion or revelation, nebulous or numinous. To navigate Piscean territory we have to rise above the cloud cover of our belief systems and pierce the veil of our rational mind. We have to look beyond appearances, embrace authentic experience and perceive from untainted awareness. We must be willing to shift from denial to authenticity.

NAVIGATING PISCEAN WATERS

‘My’ focus needs to be on how to navigate mine own Piscean waters. If we insist on completely running our lives in our habitual “I am in control of my reality” mode, we could encounter situations that are at the least frustrating. We could also be brought to our knees in humble acceptance of the primal power of the Infinite.

In the rational mind, Pisces computes FOG. We cannot figure things out. We feel confused and out of control. We can’t find our center, reference points or an anchor. Pisces lovingly obliges us to find and be guided by our inner compass. Pisces makes it both possible and necessary to operate from intuitive and instinctual awareness. If we are willing and able to be present to the energetic waves of our emotional body, we can monitor our participation in the eternal ebb and flow of universal energies.

Silence and solitude are necessary to tune into the subtle levels of reality. We can’t think ourselves into feeling. We can’t command ourselves into awareness. We have to stop being distracted and start paying attention. We have to sit with ourselves, with the sole agenda of being present to our sacred self within. There is so much more than meets our normal eye, ear and mind. To expand our perception faculties, we have to turn our senses inward. We have to stop paying so much attention to events outside ourselves and turn our attention to how energy dances through our being.

Pisces teaches us that in order to evolve, we have to learn how to rely on our subtle sensory perception. In order to understand, we have to perceive hidden meanings. In order to be free, we have to live in uninterrupted connection with the Universe!

HOW TO KNOW THE UNKNOWN

Pisces territory is the invisible, the unknown and the non-physical. So the relevant questions are;

(1) How can we experience this reality?
(2) How can we navigate our lives in this reality?

We cannot effectively operate in Piscean waters without first actually being aware of the invisible dimension of reality. Our senses are conditioned to perceive physical reality. Our minds are programmed to deal with physical reality. Trying to deal with non-physical reality from our rational minds creates frustration and inexplicable anxiety.

When we are not consciously connected to the invisible power and infinite space of the Universe, we experience the lower vibrations of the invisible world – the collective unconscious, our own subconscious programming and the shadows of an eternal fog. If we aren’t ‘tuned in’, our disconnection manifests as a veil that separates us from our soul and the Infinite. We can become a victim of our own blindness and the master of our own undoing. We may think that hidden enemies are after us, that the world doesn’t love us or that we are unworthy of love. Disconnected from our own eternal essence and unaware of how our actions, thoughts and emotions create our reality, we may continue to perpetuate our familiar, limited reality.

In Pisces territory, we can also get lost in our inner fantasy factory. Lured by the escape route of the dream world, we easily loose our connection with our physical body and our mental faculties that make it possible to effectively operate in physical reality. Escapism, whether facilitated by drugs, alcohol, fanatical ideologies or simply the inability to be present, becomes our preferred mode of operation. Whether we recognize or repress our insecurities, in this state of helplessness, we project neediness.

The bottom line is that we have to become more conscious before we can deal with Piscean energy and the challenges that it presents, and before we can claim its sunken treasures. Cultivating creative consciousness requires disciplined training – not Pisces’ preferred cup of tea.

INVISIBLE DANGERS AND GIFTS

Both the dangers and the gifts represented by Pisces are invisible. The dangers lurk in our subconscious created by past and present life karma. The gifts can be hard to access because we first have to connect with who we really are. If we feel insignificant and unworthy and lack a sense of identity and purpose, we won’t have the keys to open our own treasure chest.

Until we are able to lift the veil between physical and non-physical realities and actually experience other dimensions, we are going to react to Pisces energy by being spaced out, lost, forgetful, confused and delusional. Our choices may lead us to a mental institution. To escape the challenges of physical reality, we may also head off to an ashram, monastery or the wilderness. The later does have its advantages over the former. If we choose the later and take advantage of the reprieve from the psychological warfare of modern society, we have a chance to use our perceptive faculties to zoom ourselves into this world.

Of course, most of us can’t just take off for extended periods of time. Our real choice is not where we will go physically, but how we choose to use our vast inner world. We can either drive ourselves nuts with our stories or we can devote time everyday to clearing and reprogramming our psyche. If we are willing to look inside, we can access a new playing field.

The heart has only one channel, which connects to the neutral mind. When we are in our neutral mind, our head is able to bow to our heart. Head and heart become one. Our personal wholeness opens the door to cosmic oneness. We have entered the elevated state of Pisces.

ACKNOWLEDGE OUR EVOLVING SOUL

To optimally operate in Piscean territory we have to acknowledge our spiritual nature and accept the past and present consequences of being an ever-evolving soul. This means specifically living from the facts that;

(1) Our past actions and lives have determined who we are and what we are here to learn this lifetime.
(2) Our choices this lifetime are at this moment determining the evolutionary course of our soul.

Shifting to an evolutionary soul perspective adds a whole new flavor and existential meaning to our lives. Instead of being satisfied with a glazed over consciousness, we become eager to find out more about ourselves. Waking up becomes much for interesting, essential and meaningful. Taking responsibility for our own lives becomes a welcome relief that can deliver us from daily drudgery and victim mentality.

Our tests and challenges are no longer acts of the evil hand of fate, but entrance exams that earn us access to the spiritual realm. Our heart becomes our Geiger counter directing us to the place inside where we experience courage, strength, beauty and love at a whole new level. ‘Deep’ no longer means depression. ‘Deep’ leads us to our hidden treasures. Spiritual aging becomes an asset; we have finally earned the right to our souls’ trust fund.

Pisces teaches us that opportunities are always available. We just have to make ourselves available to perceive them. Our gifts were always ready to be claimed. But we have to prepare ourselves to claim them. We have to be in our heart and in our body to be available and receptive.

EXPAND YOUR ABILITY TO TRUST

The cosmic vibration of Pisces makes it possible to surrender to and trust the Infinite. From time to time, some of us give lip service to the concept of “Letting Go.” However, most of the time, we act as though we have to figure everything out and do everything ourselves. We hope our prayers will be answered, only we don’t trust that they will. Usually what we call surrender is really giving up, only after we have exhausted our schemes. Pushed into a corner, we quit trying to manipulate events and hope that things will work out.

While in Pisces, we have an opportunity to expand our ability to trust. One major way our inability to trust manifests itself is as unnecessary worry about ourselves and others. The more we connect with universal energies, the more we realize that the universe really does take care of things and arrange karma to be paid off or rewarded. This realization can help release us from our need to control and to inappropriately take care of others. Everyone is connected to ‘Source’. The more we increase our awareness of this fact, the more we will be inclined to focus on our responsibility to cultivate our conscious connection. Everyone has their own path and has to figure this out themselves. Interfering in others’ evolutionary process is not a good idea. Our job is to learn to trust the Infinite and to trust ourselves.

To trust ourselves we can’t be in denial about our nature and about what we are doing to avoid relating that to our soul identity. To trust ourselves and the Infinite we have to have an experience of something we can trust – a knowing of an energy or presence that is always there. Trust comes from knowing. Knowing comes from experience.

BELIEF VS EXPERIENCE

Pisces says don’t believe me or anyone else. Find out for yourself. Belief doesn’t even compute when stacked against experience. When we can begin to distinguish between belief and experience, we have begun our journey from illusion to reality. Of course, not all beliefs are illusions. Some are confirmations of reality. But only through experience will we be able to tell the difference.

The simple truth is that there is more going on within ourselves and in the universe than any of us can ever imagine or experience. Our spiritual journey is about gradually cultivating an expanded awareness so we can tune into our soul and universal reality.

We can start by slowing down and shifting into neutral so we can look at life through a clear lens and listen without monopolizing our thought waves with chatter. The REALITY channel is available to everyone at all times.

It is far more interesting, beneficial and enlightening than our stories. Life is precious. Experiencing every moment of life as it is, instead of how we wish it were or think it should be, is a sacred gift that only we can give ourselves.
