not taking it personal

its
this radical act of staying self centered

and
recognizing that inside of my solar plexus
is my own inner hearth
and it's fueled by my heart
and my warmth
of re-membering myself
as a joyful being, growing and balancing in the moment. 


​
not taking something personal
means
staying in the n o w
presently engaged with what is
r e a c h i n g for balance
and a bridge of the moment

with the heart open
with the hearth lit
with the inner will governed
with the strength of center present

wholeness of being fully illuminated


Not taking it personal
means
re-membering
in my sovereignty
with my heart open
from the wisdom of my being

the key of compassion
​ unlocks suffering

the art of forgiveness
 reveals acceptance

which b o u q u e t s into love

and
t h r o u g h  the feeling state
​
I can alchemize my sense of being
into a created moment
that is generated
from my knowingness
of what
        is
​            now

from whatever I choose from
what I am present to 
where my consciousness is flowing
how
   when
       where
            with

reaching toward the edge of me

finding that
this is a universe
and it's ever e x p a n s i v e

not taking things personal

dive deeper 

With some astrology contemplation:

Consider the 12 houses on the astrological wheel.
The Sun/Leo in the 5th house
as opposite to
Uranus/Aquarius in the 11th house

   Sun's house as a representation of your inner self will fire. As what illuminates your personal hearth, fed by the health of your heart, ruled by Leo.  Your unique interpretation of radiance as reflected by you from the Sun.
 The Sun is light radiance, all of life on Earth consumes light.  When you eat vegetables you eat their photosynthesis. Your body is made of Earth and you are what you eat.  You are Earth illuminated by the light of our Sun.
​ You are a kaleidoscope of light refracted by the wisdom of your accumulated Earthly life experience.!.

   Uranus' house as a representation of the higher octave of Mercury, sharing the frequency of communication.  Mindful Mercury as a direct connection from source to humanity.  Revelatory Uranus blows through collective weather as an inhale and exhale of the whole spectrum of y/our community.  Collecting in its breath a voice of the planet.

so the fire of the Sun
and the wind of Uranus

mirror each other 
from different perspectives–

The Sun illuminates the self center and Uranus communicates the ideas of the center to the greater whole.  To know the inner is to bring consciousness to the outer.  The fifth house of self as witnessed by the eleventh house of the community.

////<•>\\\\
A remedy for this TREMENDOUS influx of digital information during this Aquarian Age is to tend to y/our inner hearth.  Each one of us Earthlings are refractions of light, light is a spectrum of color as reflected by every Earthly being on the planet now.  Every color is light.  When you shine your authentic light you express the light wavelengths you hold. Your inner hearth, your inner fire are like flames at the center of your being. 
<•>
The Aquarian age asks us to shine and witness the multitudes of unique expressions as refractions of light; a rainbow kaleidoscope of the whole.

To paint an even more expansive picture;
the hearth represents your unique individual inner fire, the center of yourself
and 
You exist on Earth as Earth with a whole ecosystem of beings reflecting light, as their inner fire.

Imagine the beauty of the rainbow, every color hugging the next as a spectrum of waves.  With your acceptance and integration of each vibrant wave of color, your palette of awareness becomes more vivid.  

Let's call this vividness awareness, let's expand the awareness as consciousness.  

What then is possible? 
When it's not personal, but rather a vivid expression of unique light as held by fellow Earthlings?

When consciousness grows, so does the spectrum of interbeing. We are all connected, like colors hugging on the rainbow.
