I’ve always wondered how to “balance” my G-d-centric approach to life, while being in relationship with others. In the past, I kept my “G-d wisdom” to myself – it seemed so far out of anything in my collective. So I didn’t say too much, other than, “yes sir”. I’m still mostly quiet – from my kids I get nothing but push back. (They’re more into Bezos/Musk/Zuckerberg philosophy – do whatever you want- to hell with everyone else- at least until now.)
Although in time, during my last few decades, I learned to say, “no” without actually uttering the syllable (even though it looked like sickness or other unfitness).
In the mystery school, we were instructed to engage with our “higher power” which they called our guardian angel. This was to be found in our brain’s inner temple (up in the head), but then lock them up again in their ‘tower’ room (or closet- wherever they ‘came from’) so as not to confuse 3D and spiritual reality.
(I guess- those mystery school teachers don’t like questions, just their answers- moi aussi).
I often wondered about that – whether locking them away, was in fact shying from my at-one-ment. Once summoned, I left them to make themselves in my heart’s inner temple. (I probably should visit the brain one once in a while, but I haven’t- it seems so austere and unconnected from my heart – I really don’t trust it!)
And yet, there are times when we aren’t G-d selves at all, but on the receiving end – such as can be the case in many, if not all, relationships. There’s always a balanced both, you hope.
Sometimes they’re being like G-d (or one of his emissaries and prophets) using words – of we-(app)-on. (See my Zayin essays for more clarification of this term.)
They might use words to bring us back into our sense of oneness; that helpfully guide and remind us of our labyrinth’s walls to which we’ve made the choice to commit either by signing a contract or giving oath.
Perhaps it’s to reassure us about our job such as by telling us, ‘it’s not a good time to give it up- wait for more clarity’. While not perfect, we do like it most of the time, so we don’t throw out the baby with the bath water in a fit of pique.
(For my non-English speaking readers, this is a saying that basically means when you let a thing go – keep the good part.)
For our king of self, it’s tiring always being in the spotlight, and lonely I’ll add. At least so I’ve found being on top or en pointe, whichever the case may be, socially or metaphorically. Can you believe I used to feel that way all the time?
Thank goodness I continue to be corrected of that delusion.
Sure, its exhilarating when we feel our inner sun blasting onto another waveform’s surface – warming and enlightening them. For a moment we even think we’ve made a (good) difference of sorts. Really though, we aren’t trusting them to find their own inner source of confidence and wisdom. We need to learn to be patient and to listen.
‘Listening’ -from mystic perspective is to bend and list, only to stand up straight again – once they’ve said their piece.
Listening, according to written Chinese, a culture which I have boundless respect in many ways, is a combination of using one’s ears (physical portal for sound), eyes (to see a waveform as it’s uttering), heart (gauging another empathically), inner kingship (being present and listening, we’re sharing sovereignty – and our choice of mindfully doing, and is a noble skill; also part of the Chinese character for listen, is “one” (engaged in the reality of collective). All five concepts are embodied in the traditional character meaning to”listen”.
So when you say you’re listening to another – try to consider beyond your ears receiving light percussive sounds.

Radiance requires fuel to be sustained.
Without that, exhilarating spells (words we utter aloud) drain us energetically – we must eat and sleep to recoup – or receive something similar from those in l’ove’s physical collective.
I know I need to have balance being in intimate relationship with another hu(e)-man. But I’ve really had little practice.

Like astrology has opposites, G-d’s airy fairy opposite is Gaia -or Hades- s/he’s the G-d of our buried hidden treasure, take your pick, whichever one you can more easily live with.
I think of Gaia, as the external manifestation of G-d (which I define as source of infinite power, coherence, and energy).
Opposites are two sides of duality’s coin. So when both parties in relationship are honoring Gaia with their time and in their works together (or our more airy fairy abstract G-d) they will be even more successful and create the basis for a true “power couple”.
Gaia, is emblematic for the energy of earth’s pure potential. As such, Gaia being ‘rules’ our somatic physical self which is always searching to feel better- safer, lighter and happier- we are closer to bliss. These are aspects of harmony, which to some might sound like “ascension”. Such is L’ove’s vibration.
L’ove I define as anything that gives us a sense of greater coherence within our self – from our perspective, not by another’s judgment. I say, “l’ove” because when another gives (selflessly and spontaneously) to another – supporting our Orphic egg without attachment to us as the recipient, it’s a version of coherence and felt in the heart. Like they get us and actually do care about the thing just shared. To the one who uttered spontaneously – they’re in at-one-ment as well and it’s good for their heart’s too- they get a healing too.
Other examples of coherence -having a great conversation with someone is when we share our minds, so Mercury is in coherence. Then a conversation feels mutually invigorating and empowering. You might feel this especially in the brain or third eye – but also the upper neck.
Sharing a passion, as one could in my Souk School and community collective, while both parties are working on projects they l’ove, is expressing our Mars. Then we feel invigorated around our belly area aiding satisfaction.
Sharing an amazing spectacle – such as a wonderful sky shimmering with birds or light, engages hearts and minds together.
Did you know, words are but foils, used to engage with another energetically – like getting a spot of another’s battery to pick you up. To hear and be heard.
Even and especially when there are angry tones and cadences- then you’re more deeply engaged and have lost control, distance, or measure of a being.
Here’s an essay on Cheth – the fusion of Vau (listening Yin self) with Zayin (creator Yang self). Seems really apropos to your observations about sharing mission. https://drjenwyman-clemons.com/2022/01/15/more-light-and-levity-tau-chet-and-heh/
(I was going to share this essay as a you-tube comment for yet another young (male) astrologer, but decided it’s better just here. Feel free to weigh in about my decision. I did comment.)
I chose the rhododendron picture with flowers side by side because, even though individual blooms don’t all face the exact same way, this plant does bloom roughly at once. As a collective in the distance, when it’s given equal opportunity to expand, the plant becomes a giant round-ish magenta blossom, even as one side is (always) shaded. As more of us bloom within our collectives – each collective shines.
