COSMIC CALLING WEEK OF JUNE 26TH: Inspired by Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being
“The act of creation is an attempt to enter a mysterious realm. A longing to transcend. What we create allows us to share glimpses of an inner landscape, one that is beyond our understanding. Art is our portal to the unseen world.”
– Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
Get ready for a week of heart-to-heart conversations, where emotions take center stage. It’s time to let your feelings flow and speak what you truly feel. Remember, displaying your emotions is a good thing, so don’t hold back! Prepare yourself for some unpredictable and surprising actions this week. It seems that actions may speak louder than words, so speaking from the heart becomes even more important. Just be cautious as this combination might make things a bit accident-prone.
“We are all antennae for creative thought. Some transmissions come on strong, others are more faint. If your antenna isn’t sensitively tuned, you’re likely to lose the data in the noise. Particularly since the signals coming through are often more subtle than the content we collect through sensory awareness. They are energetic more than tactile, intuitively perceived more than consciously recorded.”
– Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
“How do we pick up on a signal that can neither be heard nor be defined? The answer is not to look for it. Nor do we attempt to predict or analyze our way into it. Instead, we create an open space that allows it. A space so free of the normal overpacked condition of our minds that it functions as a vacuum. Drawing down the ideas that the universe is making available.”
– Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
This week, we might experience a clash of elements with so many planets in water and contrasting fire energy, it’s like having two opposing forces at play. You can either embrace your fiery and bold nature, acting out loud, or surrender to your emotional side and feel all the feels. However balancing both might be a little tricky for now. Water puts out fire, and fire evaporates water. Who would need a more vibrant cosmic interplay of energies to nurture creativity?
In the words of Rick Rubin: “Think of the universe as an eternal creative unfolding. Trees blossom. Cells replicate. Rivers forge new tributaries. The world pulses with productive energy, and everything that exists on this planet is driven by that energy. Every manifestation of this unfolding is doing its own work on behalf of the universe, each in its own way, true to its own creative impulse.”
As Friday approaches, Neptune, the hazy planet, goes into snooze mode for a six-month nap. It’s time for a dreamy intermission. Pay attention to the messages encoded in your dreams during this period. Let those messages guide you on a journey of self-healing from the inside out. Sweet dreams!
“Without the spiritual component, the artist works with a crucial disadvantage. The spiritual world provides a sense of wonder and a degree of open-mindedness not always found within the confines of science. The world of reason can be narrow and filled with dead ends, while a spiritual viewpoint is limitless and invites fantastic possibilities. The unseen world is boundless.”
– Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
On Saturday, we’ll experience a day of joy and brilliance! The sun and Mercury are locking lips in a cosmic kiss, called cazimi, creating a perfect atmosphere to listen to your intuition and receive some divine insights. Trust those ideas flowing through your mind, for they carry a touch of magic. Let the brilliance within you shine bright like a dazzling summer sun!
“It’s helpful to turn those voices down so you can hear the chimes of the cosmic clock ring, reminding you it’s time. Your time to participate.”
– Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
