In dark we trust
We stand on the threshold of a planetary evolution, marked by the equinoctial shift from the astrological constellation of Pisces into Aquarius—a transition into a new cycle of World Age.
As we enter the Age of Aquarius-Leo, we merge the collective (Aquarius) with the individual (Leo), opening the way for a profound reconciliation of our divine and human natures.
For the past 2000 years, the Pisces Age has been defined by a dual consciousness, shaped largely by the crucifixion of Christ. This event created a fundamental polarization in our collective psyche—between heaven and earth, between God and man.
The legacy of the ‘Son of God’ cast light on an age of illumination centered around the Sun, or the Soul—the Light of Christ. Our collective gaze was ‘resurrected’ toward the light of knowledge, uplifted and enlightened through iconic devotion and idealism. The Sun became the symbol of the individual soul’s journey towards truth, love, and enlightenment.
But now, as we transition into Aquarius, the archetype of the water-bearer, our gaze shifts once again.
Aquarius represents the point in the psyche where we begin to open up to the unbounded possibilities of existence. What lies on our horizon is the unification of all polarities, a collective dissolving into the indivisible and limitless nature of reality.
Enter the Dark.
As our awareness expands beyond the inner planets of our solar system and reaches into the outer expanses of interstellar space—where 93 percent of the luminous matter is unseen—we are entering the mysteries of the dark.
This shift in planetary consciousness is unfolding alongside the rise of quantum physics and quantum mechanics. These fields are allowing us to expand our awareness into both the dark core inside the atom and the dark core of our galaxy—the black hole.
I had an experience during a recent meditation that captured the essence of this shift.
I found myself at the ‘event horizon’ of matter, as my awareness descended into the depths of my body. I fell through the atomic core of my cells into darkness, where time and space dissolved. I hovered there like a shadow without form, yet I felt the entire universe within me, able to travel to single points of light.
This experience of cosmic unity was a reminder: we are being collectively ushered to release our identification with light (the soul) and instead dissolve into a deeper, nonlocal realm that transcends the theatre of time and the familiar dimensions of space—the void.
The light of the Sun, or the individual “I,” is preparing for a deeper merging into the ocean of the wholly dark; form is returning to formless.
As we pierce the legacy of duality, the dark at the core of matter is yearning to meet the dark at the core of consciousness—like magnets drawn together.
Splintered particles of emptiness are seeking their way back to source, back to the singularity of one and then none.
The dark in consciousness seeks to descend into matter, while the dark in matter wishes to rise, merging together into a supermassive black hole at the heart of existence—a doorway to our obsidian source.
It is said that black dragons sleep beneath the earth, and when awakened, they will unlock the inherent power in matter—a raw, ecstatic vibratory rumbling that will destroy all structures of form.
This dragon is alive inside us.
It lives within the body of the Earth and the body of the individual. It desires to annihilate the structures that bind us—particularly the colonized body and mind that have become ensnared by the illusion of a separate self.
The key to our awakening is to allow human consciousness to descend into the depths.
By doing so, we awaken these evolutionary energies, penetrating our attachment to form and embodiment. As we do, we begin to harness the primal power of the dark, allowing it to rise beyond ordinary human consciousness.
The reality of the dark is that it already permeates our being. It is woven through the mind, body, and the very fabric of the universe. This intimate connection with the deepest consciousness of the cosmos reveals a truth: we live a deeper life, one not rooted or limited to the three-dimensional world as we know it.
As we stand on the cusp of a new age, the unbounded possibilities of existence are pulsing, vibrating, and writhing in the formlessness of the dark.
Once the droplets of emptiness find one another in the great, colossal onyx ocean of the void, a new aliveness will sweep through this planet. It will rise and fall through the nothingness, dancing in the pitch-black womb of creation.
