Things really are HOT lately, wouldn’t you agree?
This Leo New Moon on 8/8 truly is our showtime moment. For two weeks all of us will be showcasing the new voice and values we’ve discovered the past couple months.
That is very likely to produce a lot of shock value and (hopefully) applause.
Whatever the reaction, we’re headed towards a curtain call on August 22—the second Aquarius Full Moon this summer (very rare).
I want you all to know that the two-week comedown after August 22 is preparing us for something entirely different—less direct, more complex.
After our “Bold & Gold” summer we are headed to “Mixed Messages” autumn.
Such is the nature of autumn anyways: subtle shades of turning leaves versus the prideful boldness of summer sunflowers.
Taking this panoramic view, we can assume our late summer climax will feature separative energy—the purifying alchemical energy we associate with harvest season.
This is how we can understand the over-caffeinated chaos around us. There is too much information in the air: we must separate wheat from chaff.
Like a pitcher sweating on the mound at the 9th inning, we stand alone with a singular focus on our heart.
The clarity of creation emerges through chaos.
Already you are seeing deep disruptions and breaks in relationships—what appear like unbridgeable gaps in understanding or viewpoint.
In this crackling static we are asked to clearly focus on values we share with no one else but which simultaneously do not dehumanize other people.
It feels alienating and yet strangely epic. What are we to do?
Inconvenient Information
OK, so the focus is on our individual ability to be creative with what’s actually in front of us.
Today versus Tomorrow. Wheat versus Chaff.
But the world we have Today teaches us that critical discernment is bad, because it hurts the feelings of the group.
Even those who aren’t regular social media users find themselves in a deeply judgmental society brimming with advice on “how to be.”
And we’re told to be team players. Individual truth is too inconvenient.
In this world, it takes a strong will to not be swayed by doubt when standing alone.
What happens when you dare to go against the grain now is that people attack you.
2020 smashed all of our big idols. But most people have not gotten over their attachment to external authority.
“Who has the authority to make definitions? To update them? To criticize? Who has the torch been passed to?”
This is the chatter spreading across our current zeitgeist.
You see, our notion of authority is modeled on lineage. Rightly so: that’s how ancestry and the stable innovation of the arts and sciences have worked.
But the media-government complex hijacked this axiom behind Western civilization and stripped it of all spirituality.
Our so-called “leaders” dispensed with structured genealogy and creativity, in favor of atomized lifestyles and consumerist clones…until that show came tumbling down last year.
Many humans still haven’t woken up to the fact that they sit in ruins. Even that is changing this summer, though.
You can tell by the edgy, anxious dissatisfaction in the air. Around every corner lurks a piece of data that could contradict someone’s carefully curated lifestyle.
During these new times, the keeper of the flame is now the individual heart.
And it requires real courage to stand apart from the pack like that. People could refuse your company when you disrupt their perfectly packaged worldview.
“Who gives you the right to say that?” “Well, I give myself the right.”
Because if we wait around for everyone to be ok with our dreams, we’ll never start shaping them today.
This is where politics overlaps deeply with art right now. The conversation around art is tied to a blind worship of tradition, which again is a perversion of ancient authority—a daddy people can huddle around to feel “safe and right.”
This explains why plagiarism is really at the heart of Lindyism. It finds safety through replication, and we all applaud ourselves for taking a simple, phone-free walk.
But no risk is attempted here. The purist holds his defensive crouch, hoping that any inconvenient information will go away. Meanwhile, true art requires bold periodic updates and redefinitions.
Replicas of what a human “should be” or “should do” will only hold us back at this point.
Sometimes you have to define the life you want, alone, rather than sit on the sidelines, arms crossed in opposition, convinced that your utopia will arrive when everyone “finally” agrees with you.
Showdown at Showtime
You can see threads of this in the latest episode of Zeitville.
Sometimes it does truly seem like we live in a cultural wasteland. As the telephone poles clip past our windshield down this unending highway, perhaps igniting a dramatic fight is better than repetitive numbness.
That’s the way Nemo feels. He’s a talented kid with a cool girl at his side, and yet he needs the friction of risk to move forward with his vision.
Creating in a vacuum is daunting. We need to know what we truly desire.
Nemo can’t see what he’s doing and that’s tough, because the love he receives from Casey is both a help and a hamper to pure transformative aloneness.
So much of romance right now mixes in big picture sociological concerns, like: “How do I appear successful to others in the world? Who are the true people giving me applause and who are the groupies? Do I need to have my stuff in order before I am worthy of being loved by my partner?”
The problem is that people in your peer group cannot answer this because they are largely grappling with the same generational challenges.
Thus, we see a Gen X-er helping out Nemo, acting as the elder critic with a lightly held authority.
Of course, this puts Nemo on a tightrope: he is stuck between the cold theoretical logic of authority and the comforting fire of his peer group.
Stasis. He must act. He must alchemize fire and ice. He must stand alone.
Yes, going “all in” with our vision (as Casey puts it) can create some distance between us and others at this summer climax.
But what happens when we release things/people with a feeling of gratitude?
Is this not an act of giving back to the original giver? Does it not create the eternal loop of love, so that generosity returns to us yet again?
So, be bold—bank on yourself now. The lone human voice leads you to infinite love.

I will help you find a unique purpose in this world of change.
