Peering into the Luminaries
Today I’m writing with the intention to solidify my conception of reality but not hold myself rigidly to the ideal.
I’m currently clacking away, listening on repeat to Soccer96’s Sitting on a Satellite. The mood is psychedelic so I hold an affinity to the groove and it tunes me into this channel that funnels my imagination into actualization. I see clearly what I know and I’m able to speak with Will about it.
This state is not necessarily hard to fall into but it’s not something I do on command all the time. A portion of me recognizes it’s a shift in focus. Now that I’m focused, my mind is alive in that sector of consciousness, empowering its performance and even existence.
So with this level of energy, I try to utilize it outside of myself. Typically I would harbor it and let it waste away into another internal monologue. But I guess now I feel I have something to say, or at least write about. And since I’m supposed to be writing for myself, then I am free to say what arises. And today is one of those days I feel inspired to share.
九曜『クヨウ』：The Nine Lumen
We gaze into the sky and see glowing orbs coming and going. They have a pattern. Reliability in their process. I don’t know their purpose aside from what they just do inherently, but I must thank their existence for mine.
The stories surrounding the lights in the sky vary from place to place. And the characters they portray are an array of divine personalities. All things are divine in their existence, nothing would exist without it. Whatever that is.
Supposedly the ancients believed these Lights held influence over our earth. Allegedly worshipping them in some artistic ritual that could harness their heavenly energies here on Earth. Every culture has used nature to speak to God. There is no question about our creativity’s ability to manifest a consciousness within things science would deem unconscious.
But I do find it interesting that we’re inherently built this way. Whether or not we’re meant to strive beyond such ‘primitive’ thinking is beyond my scope. But I do believe it holds a preternatural power that molds human society.
I’ve switched songs now. I’m currently repeating ‘Astral Flying’ by The Comet Is Coming, I’m bouncing and flowing through interesting speech patterns.
I notice music is the only thing that makes me feel in the moment. I’m able to fall into a scene in my head, even though I might be the only one cognizant of the episodes nuance. Sound is important to the surrounding world.
Now, onto the Luminaries in the Dark Heavens. These lights signified Deity, guidance, pattern, time, a myriad of things that formulated our sciences today. The most unknown things informed us of our Greater Reality. And we allowed them to inform our creativity. And some things in the Heavens are abstract but their purpose is practical.

Astrology is the backbone of many navigation systems. I mean astronomy is. However, astrology allows for one to remember the most distant lights and reveal the truth of time and cycles. We remember patterns in the heavens and thus remember the cycles on the Earthly plane. We meet similar energies repeatedly and the pattern of our lives can be dictated or commanded by knowing the powers of the Stars.
The Bright Nine are:
水星『スイセイ』☿
金星『キンセイ』♀
火星『カセイ』♂
木星『モクセイ』♃
土星『ドセイ』♄
太陽『タイヨウ』☉
月『つき』☾
羅喉『ラゴ』
計都『ケイと』
These planets make up your character sheet at the moment of birth. These Lights could be seen as Gods who add their influence to your essence, although your genes and environment have a heavier role in that makeup. But who’s to say that the planets are nothing more than representations of the facets of human nature/psychology? These planets are classically tied to elements and particular Gods, dependent on culture.
Everything in space interacts with us whether we sense the effect or not. How these objects work on our being typically is universal but it is dependent on the individual's awareness。
I rely on the faith that the past held understanding of their existence, albeit the creativity to speak on it might surpass our more practical minds for this scientific age. But as we connect to our individual spiritual resources their is a notable download we receive and it updates our consciousness to experience the rhythm of the heavens and the earth.
The tale of these Lights differs in certain civilizations but there is continuity with neighborly interaction. Sumer, Babylon, Vedic, Chinese, Greek and Arabian all had their systems with the stars and they traded everything. Even the religions at the time adopted ways of perceiving the heavens. At some point as the sharing winded down, individual styles solidified in their environment, working for the society that shared the stories of the cosmic heavens.
These stories have been deemed a map of the soul's journey. It’s said that the constellations are archetypal forces of not only our minds but of nature itself. There is too much to say and I don’t feel the need to give myself the history lesson.
七曜『シチヨウ』: The Main Celestial Forces
So there are seven celestials that we must look to that were mentioned earlier. As I said, these lights guide your existence, they provide you with a possible framework for your personality and identity. And while you may not find a 100% accuracy they are more than likely hitting on a few nerves you’re cognizant of. The awareness of that pattern can either help you ascend or hold you back to where you’re dragged down. They have the ability to bless you with heavenly gifts or dement your mind and ship you through hell. In the end transformation is the Goal.
I will go into each of the Forces later…to be continued…I’ve run out of steam.
