Dear
Ones,
Every
30-35 years or so the world goes through a big revolution. We had
one in the 1930s and another in the 1960s, and now it's time for a
repeat. Here in America our current revolution happened when Obama
was elected, and in Iran young people with cell phones have started
their own. The common themes are democracy against plutocracy, and
grassroots movements against top-of-the-pyramid old-boy networks.
The
revolutionary cyclical shift is also being hallmarked by the death
of many famous cultural icons, including sensitive and damaged Michael
Jackson, who grew into adulthood with one foot stuck back in childhood.
Thrust into responsibility and adult themes (abuse) at a very early
age, he never got to experience a normal childhood, making for a Life
Task of creating and preserving childhood at all costs. He was the
poster child for child abuse---which he played out on both sides:
the innocent, sweet side in his home at Neverland, and the dark, contorted
side in his Thriller video.
Michael Jackson was a 5th - 6th Mature Artisan with Server essence
twin, Goal of Submission (with occasional slide to Goal of Acceptance),
Repression Mode, Spiritualist Attitude, Chief Feature of Martyrdom,
Emotional Centering with Moving Part of Center. He is in the higher
stages of a Creativity Sequence (shown by his incredible talent),
the beginning stages of a Guardianship Sequence (shown by his unfortunate
placement into the role of childhood victim during his life), and
the early-to-middle stages of a Responsibility/Relationship Sequence
(shown by his big lessons around fatherhood to his own children, and
his comeuppance around his sleeping in the same bed with children
at Neverland).
****
In the next four years
we''ll see many revolutionary lightning bolts that will relieve collective
tension and clear the air. Here are some examples: Sonya Sotomayor
(Mature Sage/Scholar ET with King casting) is the first Latina to
be nominated for the Supreme Court: a radical step in the USA's legal
history. North Korea (run by a late Baby Soul dictator) thinks of
itself as the grassroots "outsider" who wants to be in the
nuclear game at all costs. Mature Scholar/Sage ET Mir-Hussain Mousavi,
the Iranian candidate who lost the undoubtedly-rigged Iranian election,
is a Baby Boomer who connected with the Freedom Movement of Iran in
the 1960s and has now come full spiral into another round of his nation's
hunger for freedom.
We're saying goodbye to Maestro Ali
Akbar Khan, a Mature Sage in the Michael system who had an illustrious
life in the world of Indian music. His school of music down the road
apiece in San Rafael is a wonderful place to hear professional and
student Indian musicians who have been taught by him.
We're also saying goodbye to David
Carradine, a 6th level Old Sage with Goal of Relaxation. His Observation
Mode, Stoic Attitude and Chief Feature of Arrogance gave him a redwood
tree-like stability and strength. At 6th Old, his life was rather
karmic --- even though Goal of Relaxation usually isn't.
The energy between now and mid-July
is speedy, with the overleaves of Goal of Growth, Passion Mode, Idealist
Attitude and Chief Feature of Impatience. We'll get a lot done and
we'll be out taking action. Later on around the 3rd week of July we'll
all get to rest. Then in August we're due for another parallel shift
with lots of change.
The best use of energy right now is
to meet life and death and everything you're up against with openness.
I hope your summer ahead takes you into refreshing newness and fearless
flexibility,
---Emily
