Meet the Lord of Abandoned Success.
Mr. Mellifluous and the Lord of Abandoned Success
Suddenly you find yourself near the sea, under the full moon. Near the shore are eight golden cups, three stacked on top of the other five. One cup seems to be missing. As you gaze at the gap between cups you notice a person dressed in red who is beginning a journey up the hillside away from the sea. You suddenly feel that this person might be an artist or magician who over time has developed clear inner vision and a great sense of purpose as well as the discipline to achieve great heights. Under the full moon, you can almost feel the expansion of imagination and inspiration that propels him forward.
The moon speaks, “Primal forces can stimulate the mind to higher attainment. Even though you may have achieved great success in your public or private life, the moon pulls you to the light of the Source. You long for the heights of the spirit even if no one understands your need to move onward to something greater.
“The conscious mind, governed by Mercury, contains motivating primal forces, for Saturn, father of the Gods, is Mercury on a higher arc. The craggy rocks of the shoreline remind you of the primal forces of creation, and the mind longs for the exaltation of contact with those forces. Deep in your soul, you know that you can work with those powerful subtle forces for the highest good of yourself and others.
“You know that Mercury enables you to work with those forces by embodying them in imaginative form. Artists and magicians throughout time, for instance, have personified forces as deities or saviors or bodhisattvas so that people can experience them in form and understand their purpose and be inspired by them. After achieving a certain level, artisans realize that they are using their skills to inspire others for the highest good.
"Both Mercury and Saturn are Gods of restriction and discipline. In the moonlight, even if you are feeling great passion for the journey, you know that you must exercise discipline to achieve your goals. The primal forces that inspire you from deep in the subconscious must link with reason so that the exaltation of the mind leads to greater spiritual understanding.”
