Full Moon | December 4, 2025 | 13 Gemini 4’
When I leave my home, I am still inside. I am inside when I am in or considering what looks to be the outside world. The whole world is within me. The kingdom of spirit is within me—embodied, incorporated, and permeated in my flesh. I existed before I became this flesh. Never was the time I did not exist. Never shall there be a time when I do not exist.
I will no longer say that I will be ready to die when I can no longer take care of myself. This frames life as the march to deterioration. What I meant by such a declaration is that I never want to be just a body. I don’t want to be kept alive while my kin wait for me to expire. I don’t want to be just fed and medicated and carried or wheeled.
Last time I spoke on this, shortly after Thanksgiving Day, I realized that I was framing departure as if what we call death is a product of giving out, running down and declining, which means that life is tending toward decrease. It can look that way for some, but if you can feel the truth of your eternal being, you live free of any programming or expectation of deteriorating and dying of sickness and malfunction.
It might seem logical to expect fully to transition in the not-too-distant future; but there is no future. There is only now, and I live in the now fully in full consideration that living in the past or in a scary future is resistance to the now. Is that what is meant by "I die daily?" That way of thinking and living that is killing me can die right now. I must allow myself to think in a new way, instead of repeating old and dangerous concepts that create a life I don’t want to live. I choose to change from the old and crusty dictates of societal conditioning. I will not just give up because I’m running out of time to change my thoughts. Causality isn’t always gradual and change can happen in the blink of an eye—without me noticing it even as I live in it's bliss. I determine to stick to my guns and choose my best thoughts (and better thoughts as I become more and more aware by this spiritual practice).
The Moon is in Gemini. Gemini is in the lower part of the zodiacal circle, and what we think we are often repeating subconsciously and automatically. Therefore, the mind is not under conscious control and direction. So much of what passes for our opinions about things is secondhand and foolish. It can also be poisonous and destructive. Much of what we call news and information is crazy quackery.
So I am changing my mind. I only want to inhabit this body until I feel finished, happy, accomplished, and ready for the next adventure—the world beyond the grave. I will be ready when I am called. I want to go easy, without resistance. I will live like that so that I can be ready. “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”— The Serenity Prayer
