Battle of the Kurukshetra
Battle of Light & Dark, Good & Evil.
The Choice
Krishna (Teacher) & Arjuna (student)
The Soul & Personality & a War
I Recognize My Other Self
and in the Waning of That Self
I Grow and Glow
(Gemini Seed Thought)
The week begins with a Wednesday new moon at 23 degrees Gemini, sign of the two brothers, one the personality (its light waning), the other, the Soul (I grow & Glow). In Gemini we see “instability doing its work.” The purpose of instability in relationships is to help us, exhausted with conflicts, seek harmony and balance which comes with Soul direction.
The Soul eventually shows itself and says with compassion to the struggling personality, “Here, let me help you. I am the Soul, I am Light Divine. I am Love, I am Will. And Perfect in my Design. I Am your Soul.” When the Soul begins to direct the lower self, the personality is able to adjust to a more calm and harmonious livingness.
Gemini points out the relationship between personality (self) and Soul (Self).
It is the story of Krishna (Teacher) and Arjuna (student). This story is in the Bhagavad Gita – the Divine Song of God. Krishna was teaching the his student, Arjuna. One morning Krishna woke Arjuna quite early and told him to look outside. There in the fields a war was proceeding. On both sides of the war Arjuna saw family members. Krishna told Arjuna he would have to enter this war & to choose a side to fight on.
Arjuna refused. With great kindness Krishna informed his student the purpose of the choice and the battle – It was time for Arjuna to test his discernment – he was to cultivate discrimination and to discern which side of the battle represented the Soul and which side represented the personality.
And to then choose where he would stand and do battle.
Our present world situation especially the USA is experiencing both an Arjuna lesson and a similar predicament. The polarized political players represent the two warring parties. Humanity is Arjuna, needing to discern and discriminate between the two sides – to discern the stable Soul qualities from the personality fluctuations.
It’s quite a lesson. For…One sings, the other doesn’t.
And things (appearances) are not what they seem.
And so, onto this week: Flag Day (Thursday), Father’s Day (Sunday), Neptune retrogrades (Monday), in our last week of Spring.
