Virgo Moon

I woke up and my phone/internet didn't work 

and I found out soon after a line was down. 

The store where I buy cigarettes opened an

hour later than usual. I'm not that much into 

astrology, but I once met a guy who pulled out

his ephemeris and nailed me without ever 

having met me before. And an astrologer

predicted Buddha would be either a great king,

or, a great spiritual leader. I don't know how

that affects the statistics, but at least one

astrologer got it right big time for once.

Astrology has been around as long as

astronomy.

After all, we're just intelligent bags of water,

so why not think that large masses hurling

around our solar system might have some

small effect on our mental tides?  If mystics

can walk through walls, fly, and read your 

mind, which some can, why not see that the

mechanistic version of the universe and 

human consciousness has a few major blind

spots?  Seems obvious. 

I'm a Pisces and the general description of

that sign seems to fit me to a tee. Look it up

if you're interested. My Buddhist teacher made

a number of predictions of my life of minor and

major qualities all of which have come true. 

And, they were very specific. Got any 

explanations? I thought not. The difference

between some of the things I've mentioned 

and superstition is that the latter is based on

folklore, not even folk wisdom. Even poetry has

a slight aspect of mystery in its very existence.

Eliot was looking for the "objective correlative",

the Holy Grail touchstone of poetry, how words

could not just represent experience, but could

actually be experience. Like a scientist trying to

find the original state of matter, he didn't even

get close.

So, whether it's UFOs, ghosts, paranormal 

phenomena, how the I Ching works, or other

examples, the ultimate always shys away

from the tool of knowledge to the profound

mental state of not knowing, square one, where,

if you contemplate it, we all reside eternally.

An open mind, which most bags of water think

is a good thing, is our greatest treasure.
