Relaxing Into Discomfort (c)2015 Joan M. Newcomb

I'm in Germany, and it's been one roller coaster ride since we got here.  There
were 32mph winds when we landed (which should have been a clue for the rest
of the trip).

We came from Madrid, where it was nearly 80 degrees, and in Germany it was
in the 30s.  We've been rained on, lightening'd over and pelted with hail
pellets.  Our artist's apartment in Madrid was warm and inviting.  Our
flat in Kreuzberg is a flophouse for grunge-rebels.

This has been a powerful week.  We've had the last of 7th Pluto/Uranus Squares, which began in 2012,  I've heard that the astrology is similar to 1928-1932 and the late 1960's, but even more powerful.  And today was both a New Moon Solar Eclipse *and* the Equinox.

An eclipse has 3x the power of a regular moon, and brings sudden changes, setting in motion a new phase of growth that can last for 6 months to 2 years.

When I go through my Facebook feed, I see loads of people sharing pretty pictures with quotes about how the world is just a dream and how we all need to move out of duality consciousness.

Lovely, right?

So, if all these “awakened” people truly believe what they share, why aren’t they attending Satsang or working with a spiritual guide?
