REALITY AS I EXPERIENCE IT is an intelligent, conscious, and intrinsically creative nondual Aliveness called by many names: Allah, Krishna, YHVH, Mother, Brahman, Kali, Tao, Mind, Spirit, etc. This Aliveness isn’t alien to me; it is me the way an ocean is a wave. My intelligence and your intelligence are expressions of the singular intelligence of Reality. Spirituality is, as this magazine affirms, the practice of total aliveness: opening body, heart, mind, and spirit to this cosmic Aliveness. One aspect of this opening is astrology.
Wait. Astrology? Since when did I give any credence to astrology? Since I listened to Audie Cornish’s interview with Dr. Jennifer Freed, a psychologist who uses psychological or archetypal astrology to tap into our universal divine nature unburdened by ego, as well as our specific gifts and personality traits revealed in the unique dynamics of our astrological chart. Yes, you and I are waves of the same ocean, but we are not the same wave. Dr. Freed uses astrology to help us see both aspects of ourselves at play. As she writes in her book Use Your Planets Wisely, “Astrology lends vivid description to what makes you, you. It helps you see how you are part of everything and how everything is part of you.” Astrology, she writes, gives you access to “those voices and influences inside of you that create either havoc and mayhem or success and contentment.”

One Ashkenazi Jewish family escaped pogroms in Russia and then flourished in South Dakota, but the “free land” of their new homestead had been unfairly taken from the Lakota by the United States.

STALKING YOUR Mind
Stalking the Mind is part of an ancient Indigenous American Medicine Way to tame your guilt, fears, and shame.
