Week of April 5th, 2007

♎ LIBRA

(September 23-October 22)
"Dear Rob: I'm wondering if you have any information about spirit husbands, especially about how to meet them and release them. Someone once told me that before you can find your actual husband, you must first meet and release your spirit husband. I'd appreciate any info, as I think I had a close encounter with my spirit husband last night, but scared him away. -Lovesick Libra." Dear Lovesick: I confess I've never heard of "spirit husbands" before. But I do know this: You Libras are in an astrological phase when you'll have great success if you try to exorcise ghosts, fantasies, and projections that might be interfering with you having actual relationships with real soul friends and soul mates.

For some seekers, spiritual enlightenment is the ultimate commodity. They believe that through diligent meditation and self-improvement, there will come a day when it will no longer elude their grasp. Breaking through to the singular state of cosmic consciousness, they will forever after own it, free and clear. Permanently illuminated! Never to backslide into the dull ignominy of normal human awareness!

Here's what I have to say about that: It's a delusion.

The fact is, the nature of perfection is always mutating. What constitutes enlightenment today will always be different tomorrow. Even if you're fortunate and wise enough to score a sliver of "enlightenment," it's not a static treasure that becomes your indestructible, everlasting possession. Rather, it remains a mercurial knack that must be continually re-earned.

If you want to befriend the Divine Wow, you must not only be willing to change ceaselessly—you have to love to change ceaselessly.

Lucky you: All of creation is conspiring to help you live like that.
