Buddha and energy: June 12, 2008
June 12, 2008
Yesterday I had soccer, and for some unknown reason I was REALLY tired after practice so I decided not to run that day. Jenna and Karly and I went to the dollar show, Drillbit Taylor. It was pretty funny, but also cheesy and very unrealistic. Also, the day before yesterday Jenna and I went to the dollar show, Made of Honor. It was funny. Jenna drove both times. We also made this retarded movie and we had scripts and it was funny because it was so incredibly dumb. I was the narrator.
Anyways, after the dollar show we parted ways, and I went to Eli’s house. We asked my mom about plants for his room and we went to Lowe’s and looked at some, and we looked at black lights, which were only like $12. SWEET! I’m going to get some for my room one day. It’ll be fantastical. We also rented two movies at Blockbuster and watched one that night, so I got home at around 1:45. Today we’re going to watch the other one, and maybe Trainspotting. I’m going to go on a run and take a shower and I want to ride my bike to his house because my gas is low, but I dunno. It’s pretty far. Ciao.
Alright. So I went on a run, but I didn’t ride to Eli’s house, we still haven’t gotten together and it’s 8:00 p.m.* I rode my bike to the library though to return my book because I finished it today! And I got a book called Buddha: A Story of Enlightenment.* But I’m going to read Fight Club first, it’ll be a quick read. I also rode to Fred Meyer to get face wash.
I’ve been thinking a lot about many things.
When I got up this morning after strange and vivid dreams, everything looked so weird to me. Like the butter in its plastic container, and how bright the sun was, and my legs, and the way our bodies are shaped, and my senses, the way I see the leaves on the neighbors’ trees so far up pulsating in the wind, shiny and reflecting white light from the sun. Cars and the way the wheels turn, books, the concept of books. Me. My brain is made of chemicals and energy and hormones. I am entirely made of energy. I can’t control the way I think. What do I think? Why do I think? What is thought? Energy.*
[***Adding the transits because it’s been a sec and I think that book about Buddha triggered Ana’s already inherent metaphysical inclinations, so I wanna see what it looks like. Biwheel chart follows.]
[Well Ana’s profection lord Moon squares by degree Jupiter retrograde close to Ana’s Sun, the Moon applying to square the core of her chart from the 9th house of metaphysics and spirituality. The Moon is also closely applying to trine the Sun-Venus conjunction in Gemini, which itself trines the NN, Chiron, and Neptune action in Aquarius. The Moon also trines this conjunction, so there’s a grand air trine and it’s within orb of hitting Ana’s AC. Mars separates from an opposition with Ana’s AC and is sextile the Moon and conjunct the SN, thus opposing the NN, Chiron, and Neptune.
Looking back, I really wonder if that Buddha book was one of the most important first influences Ana had regarding metaphysical topics, the Leonardo da Vinci book probably being the very first. Ana also mentions Fight Club, which I believe was another formative book for her, so her beginning to read that at this time is notable. What are your thoughts on the astrology here?]
