Channelled by Toks Beverley Coker for the NewMoon in Virgo 29.8.11

Esho Funi Our pain sometimes lives on in us even when we think we are over a pain. Some times, something happens in our environment which triggers the pain from within us. Buddhism call this Esho Funi, which means the Oneness of Man and his Environment or Oneness of Life and its Environment. Life is subjective. Environment is Objective. Environment is like the shadow and Life is the Body so the two are connected and One. Without Body there is no shadow. Without Life there is no environment. Life is shaped by its environment. In life we experience the effects of our past actions and in the environment we act out our karma……thus each individual has its own unique environment.

There are 3000 possibilities in a moment in the Buddhist philosophy of life so it is not surprising that the world is in so much chaos at the moment. This world is known as the Saha world were suffering is transformed to enlightenment and where we work on turning the poison to medicine. So we go through our own individual evolutionary process as we find our truths living our lives and learning from the experience and the choices we have made or that have been made for us – depending on how you see it. The concept of HONIN MYO means you start from now and determine with strong ICHINEN to move forward in your life. You do not have to worry if your past has been sad, just work on THE POWER OF NOW and make a strong determination [ICHINEN] to be happy and to change your circumstance and CREATE VALUE in your life. Your past does not determine your future.

HOMEWORK:

How are you creating value in your life?
What is your life and environment made up of?
What have you learnt today?
How are you going to apply this new learning to your life now? In a practical way please.

NEWMOON IN VIRGO

PRACTICAL: Virgo is an EARTH sign. So practical issues apply around this time vey significantly. Put your house in order. This is a time to address any imbalances in your self and in any situation. A time to be realistic about expectations you have of yourself and others…..Yes be REALISTIC with NewMoon in Virgo….A time to heal any divide or separation….A time to focus on your similarities and put your differences aside….

STILLNESS: A time for stillness and a space for stillness. In the stillness is the insight and the healing and the mothering. A time to mother yourself e.g. by staying at home and reading a good book or just simply relaxing at home and feeling your self relax with yourself or listen to beautiful music [I am doing that now}…..A time to contemplate how you can be of service to others and to mother earth….

ACCOMPLISH: .Also a time to mix with others and accomplish something meaningful and valuable to you. What would you like to accomplish? A tidy flat, kitchen, office?

NewMoon in Virgo Action

After the last glorious FullMoon I went to Glasgow and decided be happy. I would do new things and I would do old things in a new way. So I did a lot of new things and I did a lot of old things in a new way. I would learn new things about Glasgow and enjoy my experience.

I went to Dolly Parton’s concert on 21.8.11. She made us all laugh with her honesty & playful jokes: “It costs a lot to look this cheap.” “Someone asked how I look so good. I simply told them: plastic surgery.” She touched our hearts with the words of her songs, her strong voice and honest feminine woman warrior power personality. Thank you Dolly Parton.

My mother suggested I go site seeing so I decided to go on the Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour. As I have never done this I thought it would be a great thing to do to be happy. The experience was amazing, healing, empowering, historical, shocking, surprising, as well as fascinating. I enjoyed the Glasgow Cathedral, the Provards Lordship, Glasgow Necropolis, St Mungo Museum and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

Lisette Keats insisted I visit the Mackintosh House. When I stood in the cream and white rooms I was overwhelmed with the simplicity, beauty, peacefulness and healing energy of the space. I became very happy standing with a big smile on my face unable to move. I felt so calm like I had been transported to another realm.

NewMoon in Virgo Songs

I went to the Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church in Glasgow on the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost 21.8.11 and was guided to share these two songs. The two songs I have chosen to work with the energy of this NewMoon are Christian songs. They are: Morning has Broken and O Love that Wilt Not Let Me Go. They convey the energy of Virgo at this time.

HOMEWORK: When you read or listen to the words ask yourself: Is this song a song of love or sadness for ME? The feeling it brings up will help you to identify the Virgo feeling in you at this present moment.

NewMoon in Virgo Song:

O Love that Wilt Not Let Me Go

by George Matheson (March 27, 1842-August 28, 1906

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Matheson

Song by Chris Rice http://youtu.be/I-tXgsBq418

George Matheson never married as his fiancé left him when she discovered he would be blind for life:she honestly admitted she could not live with a blind man. He wrote this song when his sister was getting married so it brought back his pain. The line ” I trace the rainbow through the rain,” had special significance for him as a blind man. George was a preacher and Scottish theologian who was awarded DD Doctor of Divinity.
