The Force is Within Us

Esoteric Essay by David Sky

Deep astrology takes into account after decades of living that our astrology is not static but dynamic for it is only our life itself in its totality. I think that astrology manifests as our genetic structure, our hard wired genetic predispositions, how we are put together, this DNA Machine Body-Mind of ours. It is the ship that we plow these oceans of life in Captains that we are the steering wheel of “Choice” in our hands – or, not in our hands, as the case may be. Fate is the ocean itself always moving to rhythms pulled by planetary force ever impacting our journey. Our living over time moves us on the inside one way or another, for better or worse, but hopefully in some positive direction if we are lucky or diligent or both so that by the time we have been fortunate enough to weather a half a century upon this strange, challenging planet, we have gained some proficiency at the helm.

I admit to believing in a process for good as if love draws us to itself inexorably no matter how strongly or even viciously we may resist its union. What we were meant to be seeks to push through the many obstacles desiring its fulfillment with some obstacles more devastating than others in its wake particularly I feel our early childhood development is key in setting any transcendent course to our adventures here. Too often we are beset upon rather than nurtured and supported in our growth and our soul suffers from a kind of handicap not at all unlike a physical handicap which while real does not mean limiting as this deep, inner drive to grow pushes like water past any obstacle even hard, cold stone.We learn over and over that just because something is not perfect or even broken does not mean it is useless. If we look back from some place of completion, we may well see how at every point no matter how painful or devastating it may have been at the time that our course was divine in nature bringing us inexorably to this place right here and now wherein we are meant to be and for which there could have been no other course than the very one that we just so happened to take.
