Min's Planetary Awareness Technique Chapter 4
Daniel Min, Ph.D.
CHAPTER 4
LOOKING inward toward heaven is to recognize that every
soul is descended from the Gods. Each psyche is born of
the heavenly spheres both individually and collectively
as a whole. In the beginnings of our solar system's dev-
elopment, the vessels of God took shape in their orbits,
eventually becoming stable enough to support life under
the unrelenting power and sustenance of our central Sun.
While Earth is our only planet presently supporting any
human beings or animal life of any kind, Mars certainly
used to, and yet it takes the entire solar system to be
supportive for these life-forms to exist anywhere in it.
Each of the ten heavens is paradisiacal, but all ten of
our planets functioning in harmony together is Paradise.
Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry (b. 19-Aug-1921 1:35
AM MST 106W29 31N45, d. 24-Oct-1991 time? 118W29 34N01)
envisioned a "prime directive" that strictly prohibited
interference with the natural evolution of a developing
culture which generally entailed an entire solar system
with a planet or two inhabited by that emerging culture.
Starfleet was free to visit such emerging cultures, but
could not interfere with their innate state of progress.
If a culture was too primitive, Starfleet was invisible.
This was hardly a novel idea, but is more anthropologic
in nature. For example, scientists who study relatively
primitive cultures, like tribes of the uncharted Amazon
jungles and other similarly isolated regions around the
world, such studies have inevitably tempted the curious
to see how the tribesmen react to a plane or helicopter,
polaroid camera, two-way radio or anything else that is
certain to be threatening or shocking to souls who know
nothing of the outside world. Given our recent advances
in emerging supertechnologies like digital wireless and
nanotech, biotech, cybernetics, genetics etc, no one in
his or her right mind would dare expose a primitive man,
woman or child to such self-indulgent abuse of our "PD".
Unintentional exposure, like a high-flying jet crossing
the sky, is a long way from inflicting intentional harm.
That's not saying we are forbidden to interact with the
tribes who've remained insulated from outside influence,
but those who would meet face to face with these people
had better not frighten them with your digital wireless,
or the tribal witchdoctor is liable to give you a curse!
The heavens above Earth forever exert their reigns down
upon us night and day. As every soul incarnate upon the
Earth or departed to the nine heavens above her is part
of our solar system's collective experience and destiny,
it is then up to each individual to develop and nurture
his or her own understanding of the variations and what
the world has varied from, and why its corrections will
soon become noticeable. We can find the variations with-
in and without, in our body and soul, and in everything
around us. It is good to remember this as you embark on
the astrological journey within. Like the old zen motto
says, point your finger to the Moon then watch the Moon,
not your finger, or you'll miss all that heavenly glory
(as Bruce Lee taught the young man in Enter the Dragon).
The collective waters of our vast lunar subconscious is
forever in motion, as set in motion from our genesis on
the sixth evening-morning of our creating, exalting the
Moon in Taurus by the morning of his and her appearance.
Relative to the other planets, the Moon is felt to race
around the Earth as a chariot pulling us along, tugging
at our emotions as one would feel the unsettling motion
of others so attuned. Remember the purpose is to assist
others. This is to become attuned with those you'd like
to help in concert with those who will help you to help
them. Where we enter into the first heaven of spiritual
awareness, the physical body will respond in somnolence,
emotionally drained, as the Moon & Stars rule the night
and your consciousness yields under nocturnal vigilance.
What happens next depends on how sensitive you are, and
how well you hold up under emotional stress, so go with
the flow. As you're immersed in this interminable river
of collective soul, you'll be sure to experience deeper
emotions in your physical waking state of consciousness.
That's a good thing, since you'll soon discover that it
is actually permissible to laugh & cry at the same time.
Not mere comedic seesawing one to the other, like those
outdated "I Love Lucy" reruns, but in fact concurrently,
on the cusp of the lunar doubles (i.e., double letters).
That's why those who shut off their emotions are driven
to madness, insanity, or what is properly termed lunacy,
particularly near inferior conjunction, i.e., Full Moon.
Deep emotions are beginning to surface...get used to it.
Of course women express emotion more easily than men do,
so a man is apt to be overwhelmed if he isn't sensitive
in the first place. Strong emotions can hurt worse than
the worst physical pain, no matter how exquisite and ex-
cruciating it may be. But emotional tension is also the
agent of ones spiritual development. Be sure to tune in.
As your lunar sensitivity increases, both night and day,
then the other nine heavens will demand proportionality
of your psyche, and rest assured they shall have it. It
is this proportion tailored to your psychic development
which needs work in the least-sensitive of your planets,
drawing upon the others in which you are more-sensitive.
For example, those who clearly demonstrate quick-witted
Mercurial intellect are borrowing from other planets in
the process. Which of these Gods do you need to express
more in your life? The Gods work ceaselessly to help us
strengthen the weakest link in the chain of our command,
so that we may express the seven heavenly diatonic rays
in equity, yet only to the full measure of our capacity,
which is perfectly natural. As we grow, we express more,
with Uranus' inspiration resonant on the bass-octave of
the Moon, Neptune's wisdom resonant on the earthquaking
bass-octave of Mercury, and finally Pluto at the center
of the Earth, sympathetically vibrant with Venus on the
crest of the wave. We'll get to those and other planets
in later chapters, but the Moon is just getting started.
Consider the vast depths and varieties of human emotion,
not least of which is to grieve the loss of a loved one.
This is why sessions or seances are held to contact the
dearly departed. Every client wishes to know how his or
her loved one(s) is doing on the other side. I've never
heard anyone ask "what's it like over there, am I going
to be okay after I die?" That's because it is not about
oneself, but is only about that person's love & concern
for another who they dearly miss. That's normal emotion,
but is nonetheless extremely powerful and strongly felt.
When it comes to matters of life and death, everyone is
clairsentient barring full-tilt lunatics whose emotions
are severely repressed. Those with more developed sensi-
tivity may not yet clearly see nor clearly hear contact
with spirit but can clearly sense their presence in the
collective subconscious. Emotional variety can be found
in everything and in every experience a person can have.
I just love a good "tear-jerker" movie when the violins
kick in. My eyes well up in tears almost uncontrollably.
Every eye in the audience fights back the tears in vain.
The more emotionally-insecure a person is then the less
they want to be seen crying at the drop of a hat like a
pregnant woman. It's good to laugh in tears and sniffle
in public at the monologue of a great stand-up comedian,
and it's good to bawl your eyes out at a family funeral.
If you would know the Moon, allow your emotions to flow,
since as you learn to channel more of this lunar energy
in your psyche, your emotions will become more powerful,
your imagination and creative abilities will noticeably
increase, and your connectivity with the collective sub-
conscious will "well up" into your waking consciousness.
Your dreams will become more lucid and instructive. The
changeability, inconstancy and vicissitudes of Morpheus
are hypnotizing shapes with fluid contours, reminiscent
of some more ancient pre-Columbian art and architecture.
You don't need to know this, as you'll see it in person,
i.e., your subconscious linked to your waking conscious-
ness. Anytime you can stay awake more than two or three
days in a row, you'll see remarkably clear dream-images
interspersed or integrated with your physical existence,
making it a challenge to distinguish one from the other.
A good thirty-six hours of sleep and those dream-images
will have subsided. Sleep-deprivation isn't confined to
walkabouts and vision quests, but millions of people in
the US, for example, suffer from more long-term adverse
side-effects due to stressful conditions in their lives.
They work too much, play too much, worry too much, thus
too much of anything can become ruinous to their health.
There's a classic tune from Commander Cody (most famous
for "Hot Rod Lincoln") that says "a whole lot of things
I ain't never done, but I ain't never had Too Much Fun".
But alas even drinking too much pure water can kill you.
A few tiny drops of mercury is poisonous, yet mercury's
vital for health. No mercury at all, and your body dies.
Not that the youthful vigor of teenagers & young adults
ought to be suppressed--God forbid! Staying up partying
day and night for nights on end is best accomplished at
that age. Once you've started plucking gray hairs, that
is your cue to mellow out, party less, and sleep better.
Too much or not enough sleep is the recipe for disaster.
The body needs sleep to cleanse and restore itself, and
oversoul uses dreams to instruct us & promote qualities
of soul through the channels of the nocturnal air-waves,
guided through the subconscious into mans consciousness
in cycles, phases, recurring and repeating dream-themes,
since the infinite Uranian superconscious on the octave
of the Moon is resonant with her unconscious, i.e. weak
nuclear force. The divine Uranus-Moon synergy occurs in
in the subconscious and rises up to the conscious state
in phases. So our active consciousness is equally vital
for health. An optimum night's sleep for most adults is
about 6.7 hours on average. Children need more, seniors
less. Continued disruption against restorative patterns
or cycles of sleep and dreams is detrimental. If that's
a problem for you it must be corrected. Oversleeping is
just as unhealthy, so a balance must be maintained over
the lunar months (averaging 29.53 days per lunar month).
That's about 8.5 total days or 200 hours sleep that you
need from like-phase to like-phase of the Moon--as your
sleep is more or less evenly distributed across solunar
months in diurnal cycles--the occasional sleeping in or
bouts with insomnia notwithstanding. If you missed your
normal "REM" sleep cycles one night before, you can get
mostly caught up the following night provided you get a
good night's sleep. In such cases, nearly twice the REM
or rapid eye movement in stage one-emergent bioelectric
"alpha" has been recorded on electroencephalogram (EEG).
But those who suffer from chronic sleep-deprivation are
not able to catch up on lost sleep, say, by sleeping in
on the weekends. The best thing to do is sleep the same
intervals every day a little more or less, and avoiding
naps. It's okay to rest during the day but not to sleep
(that is unless you are like Cayce, and doing readings).
If you find yourself dozing off during the waking hours,
you either need to start going to bed earlier or get up
later. Conversely, if you're having a hard time getting
to sleep on a regular basis, gradually reduce the hours
that you sleep until you've achieved an optimum balance.
In extremely rare cases, such as that of Ed Leedskalnin,
seemingly boundless energy subdues their need for sleep.
How? Is anyone's guess. Most of us must sleep between a
fourth and a third of a day for most of our adult lives.
Having established regular sleeping habits, your dreams
will gradually become easier for you to interpret. This
in turn will help you to help others to interpret their
dreams, since many people don't sleep so regularly, and
in any case aren't studying to be a judicial astrologer.
Remember Nebuchadnezzar, and Daniel's interpretation of
his dream? Astrology is like that, since interpretation
or contact is made via our same subconscious connection.
Not one other astrologer in Babylon could tell the king
his dream much less its meaning, saying "there is not a
man upon the earth who can show the king's matter there-
fore..there is no other who can show it before the king
except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh...for
this cause the king...commanded to destroy all the wise
men of Babylon. And the decree went forth that the wise
men should be slain..they sought Daniel and his fellows
to be slain" [ref. Dan 2:1-49 AV]. The scroll continues:
Mercies from the God of heaven...Daniel and his fellows
should not perish with the rest of the wise men..secret
revealed unto Daniel in a night vision....God revealeth
the deep and secret..He knoweth what is in the darkness,
and the light dwelleth with Him"--Daniel the Astrologer.
Since the Moon's phases are most familiar to the reader,
then she makes the prime example of how planetary phase,
waxing and waning, affects all souls incarnate on Earth.
Just look at the symbol of Cancer, the yin and the yang.
The waxing and waning permutations of human emotion are
like those of the Moon, the happy greeting and sad good-
bye, as the uniting and separating of one, same emotion,
as laughing and crying share this same emotional energy
at mans psychic foundation. One emotion and two aspects
of one same emotion to the human psyche, hence 3 phases
or faces of the Moon. The one eternally archetypal, and
the two temporal, since one is waxing and one is waning,
as evening-phase returns and morning-phase rushes forth.
The breath of life is the "tongue" of our respirational
balance between each inhale then exhale, birth to death.
Thus the "ah" sound begins with our breathing, first in
then out, the first breath of inspiration, first breath
of life. And so "a" is the first letter of the alphabet.
It's our emotional respiration. The waxing energy drawn
up from the subconscious into mans conscious experience
oxygenates his emotions, purging the emotional blood of
carbon dioxide, so the spent vapors are exhaled to make
room for his next breathing cycle--just as the physical
body breathes normally, in order to keep itself healthy.
So our emotional "lungs" must breathe for mental health,
i.e. rather than consciously fight & suppress emotional
energy, it is healthier to flow with mans emotions than
divert them with a dam for that levee will surely break.
Your every sojourn in the Moon since creation has added
up over aeons. Your personal relationship with the Moon
is built on the sum total of your experiences there, as
soul, and your incarnated experiences here in soul-body
relative to the Moon's position and motion to the Earth,
and more particularly to your own position on the Earth
from your first breath of life to your very last exhale.
This real-time relationship of the planets to soul-body
refers to the newborn's first breath of air which satis-
fies the parameters of its foreordained natal horoscope
affecting its life until death--at which time and place
the death horoscope reserves the departed soul's future
judgment and requisite nativity. The evening-morning of
these perpetual souljourning and incarnating cycles are
the two phases of life waxing and waning, returning and
rushing forth. One eternal life and two temporal phases
of that life. The first or waxing phase of eternal life
begins with soul's entrance into heaven--the "new moon"
of soul. When the conditions are right for that soul to
be cut off and cast down to Earth for a new incarnation,
then soul separates from heaven to bear the full burden
of some newborn's native horoscope, its personality and
disposition, its complete human destiny. This is called
the second death, the second or waning phase of soul in
the physical body, hence rendering the aforesaid future
judgment which was reserved since that soul's last life-
time on Earth imprinted from the moment of bodily death.
This second phase of eternal life is the "old moon" for
soul and "new moon" for the living body it now inhabits.
In this sense, the infant child is the new moon of life,
waxing as the child grows into adulthood--the full moon
of physical life and the eternal archetype of that body.
The waning moon of earthly life is from middle age thru
old age, provided the soul-body's karma doesn't require
premature death for whatever cause. If you're fortunate
enough to live past sixty years, then your life-moon is
well into its waning phase. If you live to be a hundred,
then your life-moon is drawing near to another new moon,
one which is exclusively reserved for the newborn child
born just seconds, hours, days after your old body dies,
or perhaps decades, or maybe ten thousand years if your
souljourn guides you to another solar system far beyond
our own--but even then your soul will inevitably return.
So there are two primary phases of the one eternal life.
The returning or yin-phase is discarnate soul in heaven.
How long that waxing phase takes to reach the full moon-
stage is predicated on that soul's future judgment. The
oversoul, or perfect soul of souls, is the mighty judge
ergo the common misconception that the self judges self.
Not self, but the continually individuating will of all
humans which collectively gestalts the will of integral
soul to do the will of God the Creator--the first works.
When you consider "unto the third and fourth generation"
[Exodus 20:5 from the ten commandments] then we see why
a psychic medium can only contact departed souls for up
to three or four generations passed. We may contact the
memories of an ancient life through souls of the living,
or that soul who has recently passed on, or through the
latent psychometric memory in the Earth, but every soul
incarnates anew before its fourth generation is expired.
- From the human point of view, each new moon in the body
is a newborn child, the yin-phase of soul's physicality,
while simultaneously passing the yang phase for the dis-
carnate soul. A birth here is a death there and a death
here is a birth there--the perpetual cycle or phases of
eternal life. So for every yin on Earth, there's a yang
in heaven, and every yin in heaven echoes yang on Earth.
You can see this in a young child, brimming with spirit,
pure and immaculate as the water melted from an iceberg.
A new crescent Moon sets just above the evening horizon.
By the time the child attains adolescence a once-simple
childlike demeanor yields to greater responsibility and
the freedom to do good or evil that always goes with it.
The Moon is well-into her first quarter, waxing gibbous
through the teen years into adulthood, with the moon ap-
proaching full. The full moon of life peaks between its
extremes, from about eighteen years to fifty-five years,
or about thirty-five years of age for the healthiest of
human beings. The right time for marriage & procreation
begins in the late teens for most of us albeit some get
an early or late start in becoming a parent. Usually in
twenty years, give or take, the children have grown and
are living as adults, so the mother and father can live
as liberated adults now older and wiser, in the peak of
their full moon of life, which is only now beginning to
wane. These are the privileged years, where youthful ad-
vantage begins to fade as the Moon wanes, and we become
more spiritually active and less physically active only
slowly at first then more rapidly into our golden years
until the twilight of our aged Moon--thus the new cycle
of eternal life begins. How we interpret death is clear,
hardly different from how we interpret Newton's laws of
motion, "uniform motion...unless acted upon...change of
momentum proportional to impressed force... every force
or action there is always an equal & opposite reaction".
For every waxing phase of every planet, there follows a
waning phase as a result. This is most readily observed
in the Moon's repeating monthly phases, much as sadness
and happiness are most easily observed in human emotion.
The collective unconscious is the foundation supporting
the "ladder" upon which we climb up through the heavens,
each in their sidereal order. But the phases or ensigns
of the planets are made in their zodiacal order, so the
sign Leo follows Cancer and is the subject of Chapter 5.
