7:19 PM 3/30/2017 John has told me that when I’m channeling for people I need to have more of a hopeful emotional presence for them, and I think that’s what I’m developing here. After I posted the last entry I was getting ready to go run. For the hell of it I used a coupon Google sent me and bought the “Awesome Mix” from “Guardians of the Galaxy” for half price. It was fun. The almost-kiss between Star Lord and Gamora is one of my favorite movie scenes of the decade so far and I’m glad I have this soundtrack to remind me. I’m looking forward to the sequel and it’s nice to have something fun to blog about. I love the backgrounds in that movie, the huge sense of space. I hope the sequel is as good as the original because the original was really special for me.
9:47 PM 3/30/2017 Only a couple of relatively minor Buffynicities tonight, kind of a lull after the peak at the end of season 3. First of all, the dorky roommate, Kathy – she was just like this twerpy little chick in my psych/soc class at GVSU, who came on like an overachiever but was secretly a part of the evil cult that was against me. It was just like Buffy’s situation, too, where just because I was paranoid didn’t mean she wasn’t out to get me.
Also, earlier today I had in fact been thinking of “Trelane” from the original Star Trek, who is evil but is treated like a child and taken home by his master, so it was a kind of precognition about a similar situation for Kathy.
Furthermore, just yesterday I posted a picture of a Buffynicitous bottle of Evian that had the word “pure” on the side of it. “Katherine” means “pure”, and that’s one reason I use it as a name for one of my spirits.
The other minor Buffynicity, a second one about food after yesterday’s spinach, was that Kathy was eating a hard boiled egg, and on Tuesday I was at a cafeteria that had calorie counts on all of its deli selections and I learned that my fears that eggs are bad for weight loss are wrong, two of them only have 130 calories.
It’s really eerie seeing these two first episodes of season 4 about college kids who steal personal possessions and try to steal Buffy’s soul because the villains remind me so much of this goofy cult that used to stalk me back in Grand Rapids. Furthermore, a couple of them were fans of Judas Priest and now tonight, I have broken down and subscribed to Google Play and I am listening to the Judas Priest album “Nostradamus”, which I am liking very much. I’m remembering being at a party back in Grand Rapids listening to this music and talking to someone about this band, and they told me that I had missed my connection with this world, that there was an angel looking out for me but that I just had never found anything about this life that interested me. It didn’t make sense at the time, but now I see that they were right. I hate this stupid, disturbing world and … I guess I’m working through it but still, what the fuck is all this bullshit for?
So now I’m going to stop and pay attention to my feelings. This Judas Priest album is cool. Alyson Hannigan is hot. I want to be Oz and I want to have a girlfriend just like Willow. I’m only going to go back and watch Angel after I’m done with Buffy but what a weird piece of anti-nostalgia, to look back on that time when I was going through such weird supernatural transformations and know this show was on. What a weird act of un-memory, to imagine all those other people watching it in real time, when it was being broadcast. Honestly, it almost makes me wish I’d watched it at the time, but not quite.
I’m looking forward to using Google Play to catch up on so much heavy metal that I’ve missed. I feel I’ve almost got that problem solved – the question of how the art of music on the Earth has become what it has … of how entertainment can be so cold and empty …
Feelings, Jason, keep focusing on feelings. The lights are very powerful. The other worlds are very close. My “self” is here. I felt it this morning, like a semi-independent part of me, coming down into me. My “higher self” at last.
The Moon inconjuncts Saturn at 8:01 AM. I’ll be at work listening to Judas Priest and Black Sabbath on Google Play. My intuition says this is going to be helping me adapt to the wicked, cold 21st century. But that’s still VOC. Moon into Gemini at 11:40, I don’t know why I bother making predictions because I never get any damn thing done when the Moon is in this sign. I should just take a vacation or something, but possibly I should begin to work on ritual invocation of the elements, at least. Maybe some Enochian? And will Mercury at last entering Taurus at 12:31 possibly make it not so bad? I’ve been bored with Mercury in Aries for a while. Maybe Mercury in Taurus will get me to work on my website, possibly even Blendr. I’ll try. Now that I’m thinking about it, maybe Enochian magic would be a good thing to focus on during Air signs – after all, as I recall the tablet of Air was the first delivered and the only one that wasn’t moved around on the Great Table. Hmm. This could be cool.
Moon sextiles Venus in Aries at 1:33. I need to be using these aspects for something instead of just messing around, wondering about how I will feel. I need to decide on something to want during the runup to that. What’s interesting about that is that I was just kicking myself for not thinking of that sooner – I should have been doing ritual magic with Venus in Aries from the start, but then I checked and of course Venus is retrograde now. It’s going back into Pisces on Sunday, giving me a chance to start over the entire cycle of Venus doing ritual magic the whole cycle through if I want. What a fascinating idea to go along with watching “The Tempest” and beginning intensives with John and Sharyl.
This goes along with beginning to blog about emotions and also getting ahold of the entertainment trance – instead of daydreaming, to use the emotional force of the songs for various purposes. I’m very excited about this and I relate this new enthusiasm directly to the movement of Pallas into Aries.
This is definitely a new phase, to go with the beginning of spring. I’m very excited to have this project working out better than I expected.
