Shattering reality meets consensus

Shattering reality meets consensus15 Aug15 min

The first of the two eclipses of the season just passed, and I have decided not to talk about it without feeling it. There's something quite clear for me: reality has been shattering. It's been broken into many, many different crystals, and each crystal projects its own perspective, its own possible reality that can materialize. Now, there are two things that are very important to question in oneself:

Where do I stand in my value?What am I consenting to?

I’m going to explore a little bit the recent ingress of the North Node in Aquarius, with Pluto in Aquarius, and the South Node and Sun and Jupiter in Leo squaring Chiron in Taurus.

This choreography has been creating both a crisis and a tough confrontation that is so welcome in the collective at many levels. I’m going to choose one subject very specifically, but this also applies to any other subject in your life. I’m going to be speaking of consensus, bitcoin, money, value, but you could take this apart and put health, medicine, Pharma. You could also write schooling, academics, herd mentality, and r3tardation, because I can give you examples today of many things that are happening that are shattering reality. I’m just going to give some hints so you can identify the same ideas also personally, because it all depends if you’re going through this on a personal level. Even though it’s personal, there’s always going to be a reflection of how you relate to the collective in your community.

A shared field held together by independent nodes.

Consensus belongs to the Aquarian realm when we understand it as a coordination among sovereign individuals. Yet, consensus itself is not automatically Aquarian. It can also become conformity, ideologically captured, or the unconscious rule of the group.

In Latin, Consentire means to feel together, to agree to share a perception, and in Bitcoin, consensus has an even more precise meaning. Each participant independently verifies the same rules. No central authority declares what is true. Agreement emerges through verification. But when consensus acts through mandates, imposing itself against property rights and the body, it turns against the individual it was meant to protect.

Is consensus something that belongs to the realm of the collective, to the shared field held by many, or does it always risk breaking into a single voice, a single decree standing in for everyone?

I feel the pull of the future, the pull of my own sovereignty, my own singular frame, and I have to ask which one is actually mine to protect.

A rupture is occurring now, just watch how the earth is shaking around the globe realigning tectonic plates via volcanic eruptions and earthquakes across many continents.

I observe this shattering landing directly inside the values Bitcoin was built to protect. When value is held within the relationship, it becomes the meeting point where giving and receiving are embraced. Together they press against a shared intelligence I am watching form in real time, a pattern moving through the network I am part of. This pressure could be the crisis that creates an opening, that confronts my chance to relate to consensus as liberation, the way the world met it as submission six years ago. I know I did not allow the pressure to give in.

I am looking at the chart of Bitcoin and its transits right now. I observe where its value is stored, and I ask whether the structure holding it is proven or only assumed. Harmony and relationship meet strategy and clear sight at its very root, and I know peace cannot be bought by giving up the principles that built it.
