Genie of the Lava Lamp

I remember the nights
that i could get down
sad, angry and depressed
and hold onto it for hours
before i realized that
feelings ebb and flow
and are of the moment
the undercurrent is joy
and tho we feel what we feel
that has little to do with who we are
we as being rise through the medium
much like the genie in the lava lamp.

Green Genie of the Lava Lamp

Tarot Card of the Day – Nov 13 2010

Nine of Wands

Yesod in Fire
Moon (☽) in Sagittarius ( ♐)

“Of all important doctrines concerning equilibrium, this is the easiest to understand, that change is stability; that stability is guaranteed by change; that if anything
should stop changing for the fraction of a split second, it would go to pieces.”

Quote of the Day – October 30 2010

“I have one major rule: Everybody is right. More specifically, everybody — including me — has some important pieces of truth, and all of those pieces need to be honored, cherished, and included in a more gracious, spacious, and compassionate embrace.”

Two Moon Manifestation by G A Rosenberg

Tarot Card of the Day – August 30 2010

Four of Cups

Moon (☽) in Pisces (♓)

Geomancy: Via
Populus 


There is something new to be had
I just know it
It comes into view and it will be better than
anything that has come before
This new cup
This new game…
Have I said it before
of each of the others?
I mean it now…
I just know the next
dream come true
will make my dreams come true….

Four of Cups  (Luxury) by G A Rosenberg

Moon in Cancer

Tho this is a natural place for the moon to be, there is an implication according to Aleister Crowley of abandonment to desire and weakness which introduces some rot into the manifestation of the emotion that comes with the four of cups…

Indeed in this card there is an implication of taking what you have for granted and wanting something ‘more’ no matter how fanciful…
No matter what you have, it is the new toy or gadget or game that will make us ‘complete’…
the next person we meet if that is there…the ennui
there arises a certain need to find inspiration from that which is around you….

Dark Midnight by G A Rosenberg

Like a prayer to gods
not yet dreamed of..
I’m not a beggar for your understanding
I express myself and move on
Madness, holy and profane
we have both flavours here
along with others Ben & Jerry never dreamed of
Dogs and Jackals howling in the distance
bring back feelings
bring back failings
i had thought long since laid to rest
Illusions, Delusions, Confusions…
Hecate hints at them all….
she seduces me with my sorrow
and succours me with foul blood
and tho I love the nighttime
I hunger for the morn…

Tarot Card of the Day – July 5 2010

Two of Swords

Chokmah in Air
The Moon () in Libra ()

Two ideas —
seemingly in opposition but with no conflict
I’ve been given the grace to encompass both
I stand in contemplation
at peace, at prayer
I can stay like this for hours
or at least for now….

Two of Swords (Peace) by G A Rosenberg

Tarot Card of the Day – March 03 2010

Two of Swords

Moon (☾) in Libra (♎)

The Wisdom of Not Choosing

Resolve not to resolve
I know the choices exist
yet choose not to look
lest I come to favour one
and thus negate the other

Within me, I contain universes
They exist in complicit balance
If I strive to want, to hold, to prefer
they pop like bubbles
leaving only that chosen.
Thus the box opens and one more
corpsified feline laid at my feet

Hamlet died by choices made
and choosing I disdain.

**********************

Much thought on choices lately. Not that a choice in itself can be determined to be positive or negative but once you choose the othesr with all their potentials become negated.
In Quantum Physics, you have the thought-experiment known as Schrodinger’s Cat. A cat is put into a box. The box contains a poison capsule that desolves when a radioactive particle decays. Without opening the box it is impossible to determine whether or not this has happened yet, Theoretically the cat is both alive or dead until the box is opened. This can theoretically apply to every choice we make. Two or more realities exist for every choice that we make, how many realities are destroyed on foolish whim? (LOL)
