ReHeat My Worst # 4: Quantum Reciprocity

Aeoli Kephas — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 02:45:27 GMT

First part of an Aeoli Kephas chat between Mars and Pluto, Cary McCoy and Jason on finding the right balance between bread and Spirit, the struggle of surviving as an artist, dealing with rejection, being a flesh vessel, the virus of self-doubt, stormy weather in Texas, the rise of SWEDARGO, letting go of the drive for success as the key to success, letting addictions go without feeding them, the value of feeling worthless, the rock tumbler, life as a flesh vessel, money as "the Big Issue," being defined by status, J's meeting with Erik the shaman, the fallacy of debt, Cary's SWEDA process and the effects of it: providing a new context, learning to be in the world but not (so much) of the world.

Rosewater Myth # 3: Seeding the Shadow

Aeoli Kephas — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 00:23:21 GMT

Still alone at the microphone, the original Aeoli explains why SWEDA is becoming a business, what makes money the root of all evil, what SWEDA "is" (again) and the basic requirements for enlisting; for old times' sake, some talk of identity structures, personal apocalypse, and 9/11 as a global Tarot reading for a species on the brink; Planetary breaks from Mercury and Mars, the many personas of Aeolus Kephas, awareness without the paranoia, Lyn Birkbeck's Divine Astrology and how it works (fusing old-time worship with modern astrology and occult ritual), astrology and myths as user-manuals for the psyche, meeting the Planets halfway, the mythic subtext of daily life, the twin streams of the personal and the cosmic unfolding, embodying Pluto, the movement to galactic consciousness and why we are *not* the ones we have been waiting for, why we always end up the bad guys in our own stories, and a closing message from Pluto-Hades.

Showery Matter # 2: Atlantean Buddies

Aeoli Kephas — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 22:54:02 GMT

Secretly recorded by Keith Zawacki (a.k.a Uranus), this chat between Jason and KZ provides a glimpse behind the ARGO curtain to see what's really going on with this Planetary Psycho-Theater business. Jason airs his doubts about going public, describes the conflict between channeling Plutonian energy of deconstruction and Saturnian energy of structure-building, the nature of Atlantean friendships, movement of the assemblage point from the place of silent knowledge to the place of reason and the place of concern, self-consciousness and embarrassment as the collective mood of the times, real shamanism vs. "assumed" shamanism, and what IS SWEDA, if not a weird planetary cult or a cheesy new age male bonding club? They also discuss how to proceed with the podcasts, the idea of inviting participants to explore the ARGO and partake in acts of virtual theater, as preparation for coming on the show, and exchange a word or two about APC luminaries Kotze, Knowlesy, and Henrik P.

Warty Theorems # 1: Forward Benevolence

Aeoli Kephas — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 03:16:01 GMT

What exactly is the Planetary Psycho-Theater? Theoretically, all of us know that the idea of free will —at least as commonly understood— is and must be an illusion, albeit a necessary one. Practically speaking, however, it is not possible for us to realize this without going insane; at least, it has not been until now. SWEDARGO, as a bridge between consensus reality and Cosmic Reality, is, among other things, the means to this realization. This is where the Planetary Theater comes in. Put simply: the Planets are conscious Players in the Grand Psycho-Theater of Existence that is the Cosmos. Human beings —at least so long as they are merely persons— are unconscious players in the same drama. Since they are unconscious, however, they are placed beneath the Planets —in awareness— and must act as puppets, blind, insensible extensions of that Planetary Consciousness which is fully surrendered to the Cosmos and its role in it. Gnosis is the process by which unconscious human persons becomes conscious Planetary Players: archetypal as well as personal beings. This is to say, as the lines of communication open, the Planets begin not only to act upon us, but to move through us, and act AS us.
