In the bible, The Gospel According to John opens with the powerful statement: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
If the word was a sound (“Om”?), then it was a vibration, as all sound and other waves are.
Interestingly, quantum physicists now believe that the true nature of subatomic particles is wave (vibration), and that they only appear as particles.
In fact, The Unifying Field Theory reads like scientific explanation of the nature of God and Maya. According to it, the material universe is an interconnected web of quantum waves that operate outside of time and space within the zero-point field, which is empty yet filled with more energy than all fossil fuel on Earth. This sentence translated into a “human speak” means that all our vast universe is contained within here and now that produces all energy, visible and invisible – i.e. GOD.
Well, does it sound to you like Vedic Atman or Buddhist Zen?
I am not very familiar with Buddhism, but I am a student of Vedas, which teach that Atman appears as Brahman the Creator of Universes and Maya the Illusion. In other words, Atman is the zero-point field filled with inexhaustible energy that produces quantum waves (Brahman) which appear as particles of matter (Maya).
What all this have to do with Neptune?
For us, the Divine Beings who play the game of The Reality of Life on Earth which necessitates limited consciousness, Neptune represents the archetypal idea of ONENESS, and, as such, stands as a door-way between ONENESS (zero-point field) and Maya (life as we know it). It influences the chakra of the third eye, which is our door-way into other dimensions. Have you ever noticed that right before you are about to fall asleep, a spinning wheel appears before you? That is your third-eye chakra.
If you practice dreaming according to Castaneda or astral projection, you are very familiar with it. If not, you may have childhood memories of it. Children tend to be quite aware of that threshold into sleep.
Neptune does not rule sleep, but it rules dreaming, dreams and day-dreams. That’s why people with strong Neptunian influences in their chart have such dreamy eyes.
Neptune also rules music, this international language of the soul. And what is music but vibrations of the sound waves?
Now, let’s see what else Neptune rules:
• All kinds of illusions and illusionists (magicians, movie stars, con artists, etc.). What is the Major Illusion? Maya.
• All kind of psychic experiences and psychics (mediums, clairvoyants, ghosts and ghost-busters, etc.). All these experiences necessitate tuning into finer vibrations around us, such as mental and emotional fields beyond capabilities of our 5 senses and venture into other dimensions of Maya the Illusion.
• All kinds of chemicals, drugs and narcotics and their users (chemists, pharmacists, drug-addicts, etc.). While chemists attempt to alter substances existing in nature, drug-addicts attempt to alter their conscious reality, creating their own illusion (as separate from the consensus one).
• By the way, it also rules hypnosis and hypnotists, who help their patients to alter perception of their reality or bring forgotten memories to the forefront of their conscious awareness (my forte – past life regressions, for instance).
• All kinds of infectious, hard-to-diagnose diseases, and diseases connected with liquids in our bodies, with the exception of the red cells. This covers all auto-immune diseases, since those deal with white cells.
Liquids are easy to understand: after all, this planet is named after the Greek God of sea.
Infections are the invisible interactions between our bodies. But have you ever been emotionally infected? Of course! Sometimes it was an infectious laugh, sometimes it was “the crowd rage”, etc.
• Neptune rules psychic infections too, as well as psychiatric disorders of all sorts. Many are familiar with schizophrenia, a disease that produces visual and / or audio hallucinations (illusions).
Depression is harder to grasp, yet it is the disease produced by the ego’s delusion that its owner is victimized.
• Yes, Neptune rules victimhood, pity and self-pity. These experiences are born from the illusion of separateness.
Now I want to go back for a moment to the fact that Neptune is named after the God of sea, and so it rules all kinds of liquids from water to oil, as well as people who make their living from it such as seamen and oilmen.
My favorite yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda liked to compare God to the ocean, and humans to the ocean waves (with ego being a water bubble emanating from a wave). To me it jells perfectly well with the Unifying Field Theory of the quantum physics, where ocean would be the zero-point field that emanates quantum waves, which are your basic activated energy.
Since, according to this theory and all the great mystics that ever lived, all that we sense with whatever senses are available to us is really are clusters of energy vibrating at different frequencies and directions, so are we, the humans.
When we are born into the Earth Reality, we envelope our consciousness with different energies in different combinations. Astrologers know them as combinations of astrological elements and planetary vibrations. For instance, fire element has very high frequencies, while the earth element has the lowest ones. The amount of planets in each element creates a unique field of energy that belongs to the native and creates his / her very own psychological make-up.
Why am I putting this in? Well, it appears that Neptune rules the vibratory aspect of energy – the underpinning of the veil of Maya.
• Of course, Neptune also rules mysticism and mystics – the only people known to truly pierce that veil.
As you can see, Neptune is hard to pin down. It is the underpinning of our reality, yet it is our escape hutch from it. That is why people with a heavy dose of Neptune in their chart have such a hard time with our reality.
Take a look at musicians, for instance, the greater majority of whom are heavily Neptunian: they tend to be drug-addicts with spiritual inclinations and terrible family lives. No one can even imagine them holding a corporate job, which would require a serious adjustment to consensus reality. Neptunian people are incapable of such adjustment. They all are half-way into other dimensions.
Neptunians are natural dreamers as defined by Carlos Castaneda.
He divided human stock into natural dreamers and natural stalkers.
According to him, dreamers are people who have difficulties controlling themselves as being too fluid (Neptunian realm) and, while often blind to rules and regulations of the consensus reality, are lucid in other dimensions, such as astral plan, etc.
Stalkers, on the other hand, are control freaks, who may excel at our reality, but have hard time loosing up enough to allow themselves to venture into less shaped dimensions.
However, in order to master The Game of Life on Earth, one must get very good at both, stalking and dreaming.
In fact, stalking may be the only antidote to Neptunian influences. Stalking translated into everyday language means watching. The only way humans can resist Neptunian escapism is by watching themselves.
Huh?
Yes, watching our thoughts and emotional reactions in the most non-judgmental manner is the only way we can eventually distinguish the veil of Maya and remove it.
Even dreaming (a purely Neptunian exercise) is completely worthless and extremely dangerous without stalking (i.e. exercising control via watching). Without watching it is akin drifting in a boat without ores.
As we watch ourselves in completely objective impartial manner, we can eventually distinguish incorrect thought and emotional processes, so we can stop them at their tracks the very moment they begin to arise. This would eventually free us from the grasp of ego – the ultimate illusion.
I am writing this because Neptune has been gaining in power for the past 7 years, ever since it formed mutual reception with Uranus. In March of 2011, it is going to move into Pisces, its own sign, where it would gain its ultimate strength. It will stay there throughout 2025. Unless we remain awake through watching, we may fall into drug-induced stupor, as we medicate ourselves en-balk with narcotics and pharmaceuticals, or by putting on pink glasses en-masse and talking ourselves out of solving all present and impeding crises.
Of course, there could be positive Neptunian influences, such as rise in Compassion (please, do not confuse it with pity – another side of Neptunian coin), mysticism, and, hopefully, good music. Good music is akin to nada-yoga: yoga that uses sound to heal and emancipate. Never underestimate the power of mantras. They use the power of sound vibrations to transform or lift Maya – whose very essence is vibration. Remember, subatomic particles are waves, and God began the creation with the vibrations of a sound…
My worry is that Neptune is going to rule from the ocean of Pisces, while Pluto crushes structures of our societies throughout 2024.
In other words, we are heading into 14 years of confusion and uncertainty unmatched in known history. Hold on to your seats and start WATCHING!
This is how you may fare during those long years:
If you have Pisces in the first house and Capricorn in the 11th:
There is no longer a touch of reality to the way you see yourself and your relationships. Heartbreaks are likely to linger and you may find difficulties surviving fame / infamy that may come around.
You may encounter powerful friends or join important groups along the way though.
However, your friendships may suffer as well from manipulations of others.
If you have Pisces in the second house and Capricorn in the 12th:
Loss of money may dissolve your sense of self-worth, and credit is likely to be hard to come by, yet expenses are likely to keep on mounting. You may experience profound sense of isolation or simply spent large stretches of time in isolation. But if you ponder reality during such times, you may actually come close to the truth behind it.
If you have Pisces in the third house, and Capricorn in the 1st:
While miscommunications abound, and there are consistent problems with getting around town, your mind is getting steeped in mysticism.
You are also likely to notice profound changes in yourself and your behavior. As you find your empowerment, it would affect your relationships, and you are likely to find yourself better off one way or another.
If you have Pisces in the 4th house and Capricorn in the 2nd house:
Profound changes in your income may bring about loss of home / family.
You may find yourself quite confused for a while, with no clear directions for the future and not much of a career to speak of.
Hung in there, and you may find this rootlessness liberating.
If you have Pisces in the 5th house and Capricorn in the 3rd house:
This may be your most creative streak yet. As you hone your performance and grow as a great competitor, you may also transform your thinking and touch the mystic truth.
But do take care of your body as well, and drive carefully.
If you have Pisces in the 6th house and Capricorn in the 4th house:
Hunging on to any sense of normalcy is going to be tough during these years, so do not acerbate your situation with drugs or alcohol (and you sure are to be tempted).
Your body is already going to struggle with mysterious viruses or allergies, making your employment situation more uncertain then ever.
You may find your home / family to be transformed, and career matters to be difficult.
But you should keep on looking for that light at the end of the tunnel.
If you have Pisces in the 7th house and Capricorn in the 5th house:
Heartbreaks and unrealistic relationships (if any) are likely to become a new norm during these long years. Children issues may become difficult.
However, these may be the years of profound creativity or business transformation.
Just stay away from gambling.
If you have Pisces in the 8th house and Capricorn in the 6nd house:
These are going to be the years when you should be constantly on look out for con job.
Even though you may find your health faltering and / or job situation growing increasingly difficult amidst power struggles, do not think for a minute that there is someone out there you could rely on.
Be vigilant, and you may get through barely bruised.
If you have Pisces in the 9th house and Capricorn in the 7th house:
Profound changes in your relationships affect the way you view yourself and the world in general. Everything serves to deepen your mysticism, and doors do not just open – they seem to dissolve!
If you have Pisces in the 10th house and Capricorn in the 8th house:
As you are going to drift through life with no particular direction in mind and growing more rootless by the minute, do not forget to watch out for predators. Avoid putting yourself in a position of dependency as much as you can.
Yes, there is still a great likelyhood that you are going to be bruised either physically or emotionally anyway. But if you are not going to give your power away to your offender, you are not going to get victimized.
If you have Pisces in the 11th house and Capricorn in the 9th house:
During these years it is going to be hard to see who your true friend is.
But it is up to you, if your mind is going to grow hardened with fanaticism, or you are finally going to break through the veil of Maya.
You are better off having your mystical pursuits on your own, so you don’t become prey to cult groups of any kind.
You are also better off staying closer to home during these years, and put off your pilgrimage till past 2024.
If you have Pisces in the 12th house and Capricorn in the 10th house:
You may have to fight off challenges in your career and on home turf.
But you may find time and time again the silver lining by diving into the sea of oneness and compassion.
