Santa Fe Esoteric Meditation Group

Every Tuesday, 5:30pm
(unless otherwise noted)
Love Offering
All traditions welcome. Suitable for all experience levels - beginners and advanced.

Join us as we journey to the heights of consciousness, explore the potential of meditation assisted by a daily selection of esoteric and traditional techniques, and join to meditate as a group - to augment our meditation practice and bring that increased awareness, elevated vibration, and mystical presence even further into our daily lives. And especially when alchemically paired with astrological insight, helps us to align more effectively with the present moment in spacetime, and find ourselves exactly where we need to be.

Each day our meditation topics are centered around the Mayan Day Sign of the calendar day from the ancient spiritual calendar of the Maya, ie the Tzolkin (or Cholqij'). In addition to our meditation practice, Brendan offers a unique and inspirational update for the collective including Western, Chinese, and Mayan Astrology, Human Design, and Numerology for the collective as well as a special "Light Seers" Tarot reading specifically for those present.

This Tuesday, July 22nd, our practice will center on the Mayan Daysign:
Cib (Keeb) - The Vulture:
Ancestral Wisdom, Efficacy, Sensuality, Wrongdoing, Forgiveness

Mercury turns retrograde and has already been well in the process of slowing down and stopping, from the perspective of Earth. But this is the first of about 20 Mercury retrogrades over the next 7 years, that will be very different than we have ever experienced before in our lifetimes (they occur 3x/year for 3 weeks each).

These will be so different particularly because Uranus, whose cycle through the zodiac is 84 years total, 7yrs per sign, is now in Gemini - Mercury’s ruling sign.

Now, because Pluto is also in Uranus’ home sign, we have the first retrograde—what we call “dispositing”— these powerful outer planets, who concern most specifically power, technology, people and evolution. The world is going through a massive technological upgrade, and ideally, so is each of us on an individual level. Especially for those individuals who are not very good with technology; it’s time to invest in your technology, take classes, watch YouTube videos, and ask young people close to you for help. You are way behind at this point, as everything is only going further and further in this direction.

Now of course, there’s a great deal of creative potential in this now for the average human being, far beyond what it’s ever been before. Very soon, you will see high-level independent films being created by a single individual. AI makes it incredibly more efficient to write a book, for example (even without using it to write for you. It can read it back to you, summarize, correct punctuation etc.) And there is much more that we can do for ourselves through technology, to assist ourselves in healing, enlightening, and growing. Now certainly, this does represent a new slew of challenges, risks, and dangers, frankly, that are present as well. But life—the astrology—always represents such challenges and dangers; these are simply novel, albeit at times grandiose ones.

One representation of this is NASA, the Canadian Space Agency, and the European Space Agency all working together and utilizing AI to gather, interpret, and sort all of the incredible data that’s coming from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the Euclid Space Telescope, and soon to be a whole new fleet of other groundbreaking telescopes, including both ground-based super observatories—like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT)—as well as wide-field, near-infrared, and spectroscopic space telescopes—like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, SPHEREx, and ARIEL. We will have a new one of these up and running about every 1.5 years for the next 10 years.

This example is an excellent one because it depicts the level of technology, the level of increased scientific knowledge of the time that we are entering, as well as the increased productivity and global inter-cooperation that is very much what the future will look like, despite this rocky start we’ve gotten off to.

While Mercury retrogrades are always technologically challenging, I always advise the perspective of: if and when a technological issue might arise, assume that it is telling you something specific. Maybe you need to approach the situation in a different way. Maybe you need to not do what you’re trying to do at this time, maybe you need to spend even more time on it. Maybe you need to take a break. Maybe none of the above. But to sit there and get frustrated and start yelling at your machine is no longer acceptable, especially when it's so predictable. Stop, breathe and be open to new possibilities. Even the birds communicate with us and genuinely speak to us when when they have guidance to offer us, if only we are conscious enough to hear it. This is all of the divine and speaks to the synchronous consciousness that is at play in every single thing. This profound awareness is available to us all, and in and of itself is increasing through the astrology now; it is this sort of increased consciousness on all levels that makes this all so exciting.
