Parte II - Triplicidad de agua: Saturno

The water element is hard to approach.

Today, my goal is to offer you

a different perspective of

what water represents.

We obsessively manipulate

and obstruct the water element,

or the idea we have of it associated

with emotions, feelings , etc.

We need to see what we do with that,

because water represents receptivity.

And receptivity is not only sentimental,

affective, bonding, feeling, etc.

We’ll delve into this,

but that is a distortion of water.

If we don’t understand the water

we won’t understand

ourselves, or anything that is.

We could say the same about the

other three elements,

the other triplicities, of course.

From the wellspring of all creation,

receptivity flows, imbuing each thing

with the essence of something superior.

It is trough water that we make it real,

viable, verifiable, it unfolds

as we are going to see.

When I say that Saturn is the

water planet, people tend to argue

with me, especially astrologists.

Or, at the least, they’re very surprised.

By my understanding of the planets,

the fields of planetary information.

My understanding of Astrology

comes from Kabbalistic cosmology,

in which Saturn is feminine.

It represents the feminine principle

of the Universe, the cosmic mother.

Those who have studied astrology from

a different perspective, find this shocking.

According to them, Saturn represents

something completely different, but

essentially they're the same thing.

Saturn is the maximum receptivity.

And our distortion of the water element

-that Saturn sustains- is to silence,

the consciousness

what we receive. The awareness

of what we receive. The awareness

of what we reflect and shape.

That is the fundamental challenge

for the integration and comprehension

of water. Because what

the ego does is to turn

what we receive and shape on a plane

of what's primordial energy

and information, we tend to turn it into

our reception and emission structures

Into what ‘I’ receive. And we

linked this to our emotionality.

We'll delve into this soon.

So, when we talk about the water

element we need to feel that

we receive. When we receive,

we define. When we define,

we constrain. Something dies.

Of the Light that has been emitted,

some of it overflows us and we

need to constrain it, in order to

understand and channel it.

Thus, we ‘obscure’ what we receive

because I need to make it viable,

understandable, conceivable.

I need to channel it.

Saturn receives pure Light,

receives and constraints it

to make it viable, to be able to shape.

That's the principle of Water.

And what does the ego do? It claims

ownership of the information and energy,

shaping it into what it receives, based

on its own expectations. This is

a distortion of receptivity, wherein

Saturn symbolizes the awareness of

the infinite being mirrored within the finite.

In a way, to embrace water means

comprehending that within the finite

we constantly see the reflection of

a brighter Light, from a higher plane.

Pure Light and information that

we can’t rule, understand or comprehend,

only intuit. But we reflect it anyways,

and it is present in everything we experience.

If we lose awareness in our reception

of this higher Light, we lose

awareness of the purpose for

everything we experience.

This is, ultimately, the water element.

Well, as we are going to see, there are

three languages, fundamentally: Cancer,

Scorpio and Pisces. The experiences

at play, as you see there, are the ones

from the 4th, 8th and the 12th houses.

We’ll describe this but first, if we

observe Saturn from my perspective,

Saturn as an archetype face us

with this information:

Receptivity.

The awareness that we are

fractals of something Superior.

The awareness that this fractality

is vital foundation, frequency

reflected in everything. It is one

of the substantive foundations

of experiences, circumstances,

what I make of my actions.

Wherever we choose to focus on

can be infused with the constant awareness

that we are bringing into manifestation

something that underlines and sustains

the very fabric of matter, and our

relationship with it. This source

which we receive and which explains

all that is.

Therefore in an archetypal dimension

-not distorted by the Ego-, which

I call Second Fractal, face us

with the primeval and highest

awareness of the Essence.

An awareness of our fractality.

The perception that we are a

reflection of something else all the time.

Saturn, in a way, is the comprehension

that there is another plane,

-beyond space and time- where

there’s absolute balance.

There is absolute balance,

that becomes more dense when

is channeled into matter through us.

This absolute balance contains a

creative will, that is Neptune.

This is why I find it curious when

people tell me:

"My Neptune”. I say that we have

no idea what Neptune is. It’s in a plane

of Cosmic dialogue with itself,

divine dialogue with itself.

Kabbalists say that it’s God

becoming aware of Himself. But we

clumsily say that: “my Neptune makes me

do this or that”. Well, Neptune is

absolute balance, the creative will,

is static. It’s mere potential, If you will.

And Uranus is the cosmic father.

It’s the force, the necessary movement

to manifest that creative will.

Something we can only intuit.

But we cannot understand it,

we cannot control it, we cannot

rule it. But then comes Saturn.

When Saturn comes to play,

that which can only be intuited

because is unmanifested -and

we can only be aware of the manifested-

that which we only intuit,

Saturn manifests it by constraining it.

Saturn formulates this infinite potential

so it can be manifested.

This is Saturn. This is why it

represents the cosmic mother.

It conceives reality.

It serves this infinite potential,

or dynamic force at the service of

infinite potential -Neptune and Uranus-

to be formulated as an hypothesis

of materialization within space and time.

Therefore, Saturn helps us understand

that everything that is and everything we are

comes from this Source.

The water element and Saturn

are awareness of this receptivity.

That we are constantly experiencing

or witnessing the materialization

of something transcendent.

That each thing, and each experience,

mirrors that Source.

This is the reason why integrating

Saturn and the water element is crucial.

Because, if we don't fully comprehend this

we can’t comprehend the reality we live in.

Saturn is a vessel, it's a dimension

that conceives and delivers the

potential for materialisation, into

space-time, into matter, into form, into us.

Without Saturn we would be not,

because it formulates the hypothesis of “us”.

In a way, it channels the potential of

formulation into an hypothesis of

realisation. This final form is contained

within the founding unity, everything is

contained by it, but hasn’t been formulated yet.

This is why Saturn embodies the

Universe’s feminine principle,

the cosmic womb that conceives, creates.

Before Saturn, there was no space-time.

Saturn receives and circumscribe,

this is why it can formulate,

because it demarcates. When it formulates,

it turns the infinite into the finite.

When it turns the infinite into the finite

it restricts the full potentiality of the Light.

We could say that Saturn distinguishes

potential from reality.

But only by turning mere potential

into something potentially real, if you will,

can we conceive the manifestation

of the static creative will (Neptune),

or the dynamic force of generation (Uranus).

Only Saturn is capable of turning

that into determination of manifestation

facilitating the existence of everything

and the experiences we go through.

If we understand Saturn we can

understand ourselves and

everything we live. This is the

foundation of water: fractality, the

awareness of being reflection.

“As above, so below”.

The infinite, and the finite.

The manifested and the unmanifested.

The manifested is dense, less luminous,

because it has a lower amount of Light.

To be able to capture within a finite form

we need to restrict the infinite.

This is the water.

Jupiter turns this into a substance, a

vital essence substantiating all things.

This is why, when we do

Planetary Purification we work

from Jupiter towards matter:

Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus,

Mercury, Moon and Earth.

Before Jupiter we lack this vital breath,

this essence substantiating all things

coming from the Source.

But only Saturn is able to formulate

things in order for them to be brought to Life.

This is water, being constantly

aware that we are reflecting

something superior, that we are

spirituality in action, that we are

Light taking shape

And the awareness that our Ego

constantly distorts the meaning of

these creative will, dynamic force

and the Saturnian receptivity

and formulation qualities as a vessel.

Therefore, everything that exists

has a deep meaning coming from

the Source, because it is a reflection of it.

Even though it may seem like a

distortion of it, because “Divinity

is inherent in everything that is”.

This is the deep meaning of water.

Well, I speak symbolically of God, of the divine.

I suppose I’ve already made that

clear in a previous class.

If we understand this we can

integrate the water element,

otherwise we confuse our

receptive nature with what WE

receive from our relationships and

our environment. This is why

in distortion, Saturn involves affectivization.

We turn the ultimate reception of

information and creative energy

reflected in matter, into what we

receive or what we want for ourselves.

We claim ownership and taint

our receptive nature with

our relational and bonding dynamics,

instead of seeing in them -as

in everything else- the reflection

of the Universe. We embody

something ungraspable for our

finite consciousness. In a way,

we are differentiated Unity.

Fusion of Light and matter.

Light channelling into form, but also

form constraining Light.

The awareness of these contradictions

comes from Water.

Saturn makes it possible for that

which you can only intuit, and is brighter

than what you reflect, to take shape within you,

even though, as it substantiates you,

it is the very same thing that you reflect.

Thanks to this, we get to understand

transcendence within immanence.

The Divine within the Human.

The fusion of Spirit with matter.

Saturn brings awareness of this.

The possibility of bringing together

Spirit and matter, Divine and Human,

Infinite and finite, is born with Saturn.

This is the meaning of Water:

the divinity of everything.

The creative will and the force of

creation reflected in everything.

This is Saturn’s receptivity.

Saturn is, therefore, the paradox

of being Life and Death at the same time.

Saturn is both the Mother of Life

and the Mother of Death. On one hand,

Saturn receives and manifests,

thereby giving Life.

On the other hand, it constrains

limitless potential to bring things

into realisation.

It constraints the potential

to be able to integrate

what receives and formulate

possible manifestations.

The reception witnesses the death

of the Infinite, turning into finitude.

The restriction, if you will, of the

Infinite into the finite.

Therefore, we find an asymmetry

within Water, in the sense that

finitude is not infinite, but it’s

a reflection of the Infinite.

So, ultimate receptivity is associated

with Saturn and the water element

as one of the frequencies that

sustain all we are, and all we experience.

From this awareness we can

comprehend that water substantiates

the initiation journey. This is

similar to what we already know about

Saturn from other astrological

perspectives: Saturn brings grounding.

The awareness of fractality

helps us navigate the complexities

derived from the union of Spirit and matter.

By its limiting function, Saturn

gives viability, and in a way, it turns

the unmanifested potential into

manifest reality, simplifying it.

In that line, Saturn supports our

journey, the cosmic circuit that

will lead us back to the Source

by experiencing finitude and form,

a dense, coarse and fragmented existence

as opposed to the systemic and primordial.

But it’s essentially the same.

This is why if I throw carelessly

an object, like a fork, it’s like

treating Creation carelessly.

Saturn and Water helps us to understand

that we are experiencing a higher plane

in every little thing of our everyday.

As Benedetti would say: in our

morning coffee lies the divine.

Saturn sustains our process, giving

us awareness of our fractal existence,

connecting us with the Essence in

everything we experience. It will also

give us support when we go back

to the Source, after gaining awareness

of non-time within time, of the Infinite

within the finite. When

Kabbalists do their Purifications

they actualize planetary information

into the matter, purifying it.

We also do it in our courses and

this process finishes in Saturn.

We channel higher information,

we purify the planetary information

tainted by the Ego. We engage

in a process of purging what the ego

has claimed and manipulated for itself.

And when we carry out this purification

from Jupiter downward: Jupiter, Mars,

Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, and Earth,

once this purification is done, the next step

(after the descent into matter) is ascent.

To Saturn. And what does Saturn represent?

The profound questions about

the primordial.

In that sense, Saturn sustains the future.

It embodies the question we ask ourselves

about the Infinite, embracing our

finite existence -when we’ve relinquished

our pretensions of eternity and infinity-.

When we’ve dissolved our need to claim

ownership over everything, because

we’ve become aware of the fact

that we are a dense, coarse, fragmented

and non-systemic expressions of Light.

When we embrace this, we become able

to channel pure Light. And we become

able to be Light instead of “Koldo”.

By contemplating the Essence,

channelling Light and dissolving the need

to constantly identify with Koldo,

I gain understanding of Koldo’s actions

within the material realm. Because

I can exist in the material realm from

a different perspective when I become

conscious that the fundamental is at play through me.

Saturn represents both:

the initiation journey, the path,

the experiential process that leads us

to feel in this physical reality

the Cosmic vibration, the primaeval

Essence; but simultaneously a

progressive return towards the Source

to ask ourselves questions about it

once we’ve calm the need to

claim ownership over everything.

Including Saturn. From our First Fractal

personality structures we manipulate Saturn.

From a virtuous potential, an

archetypal plane -not manipulated

or distorted by the Ego- Saturn would

represent what I’ve been describing.

But let’s see how we distort this

from our egoic structures by

relating to this information and energy

from our ego-identity, hindering

our capacity to embrace our fractality

to embrace Saturn’s receptivity.

What do we do

from our personality structures or

from the deviations of the

conforming frequencies or

vital foundations of everything that exists?

What is our behaviour when we manipulate

and distort the water element?

Well, we distort the meaning of

maximum receptivity. That is to say,

we distort, we corrupt the ‘receptivity’.

We desist in the consciousness

of that reflection, of fractality.

The Ego-self misplaces this
492
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:16,140
maximum receptivity of information

and energy, this primaeval Source

where everyone and everything

comes from, we make it ours.

We confuse this with ‘what we receive’

and above all, although not only

but above all, with our relationships

and bonds -where we have expectations-.

With our ambitious and demands

in the sentimental spheres of our life.

Saturn is reduced to our feelings.

Our need for bonding and relationships

lead us to believe that Water

equals to our emotionality, because

in these territories we experience

maximum reception and emission.

The interplay of reception and reflection.

Therefore, instead of simply observing

the information and energy that we reflect,

we remain within a dimensional structure

centered around the ego, where

what is received is connected to oneself.

Consequently, we project it onto

the territories of maximum egoic

reception, which are associated with

our connections and relationships.

When we distort its information,

Saturn ends up reduced in the

material experience to: our bonds,

in which we experience power struggles;

and our relationships, in which we

create a Myth around our identity.

That is to say, that in our bonds we

seek possession of the other person,

as we will see in Scorpio.

“You are mine”.

While in relationships, we create

a story of who we are based in

our relationship. For instance,

Cancer does this. So, we have

bonding structures or relational

structures. And the whole field of

human emotionality -where we

mythologize our story to create a

narrative of who we are; or where

we self-assert our identity through

the power struggles within our bonds,

not like the creation of a Myth

but more like a need to change others

into what we want them to become-.

We confuse these structures of

human emotionality, with its particular

forms of reception, into our only

possible experience of receptivity.

And we ignore our receptive nature

as reflections of the Divine,

like I said before.

From these bonding and relational

structures where we distort Saturn’s

information reducing it to human

emotionality, we experience

fear of solitude, fear of not being loved,

and our affections affect us.

When our affections affect us and

we experience fear of solitude,

or we don’t feel worthy of being loved

-as we will see some water structures do-

we fail to acknowledge what

explains and sustains everything.

The unconditionally emitted and

received Love that sustains it all.

This is essentially what Saturn, or

water as a vital foundation, represent.

So, the Ego with its doings manipulate

receptivity by ‘affectivising’ it.

At this point we stumble upon

saturnine rigidity structures

-a distortion of the water element-

in our relations and bonds.

For instance caution emerges,

becoming an obstacle for

heartfelt unions to unfold.

A Union occurs when we become

aware that a connection symbolises

a reflection the Divine, or a

manifestation of the Superior,

instead of something that belongs to us.

Cation in the face of union is a

distortion of the consciousness of that

reflection. But also emotional austerity

as a refuge; defensiveness as an

objection to a true affective consciousness;

a prevailing ‘down to earth’ attitude

as a protection or a barrier

against emotionality; dramatism

or painful memories as an

excuse to inhibit ourselves emotionally;

the anticipation of adversity as

an emotional narrative;

exemplarity as a way of positioning

ourselves in our bonds and relationships;

Scorpian like possessiveness;

Cancer’s evasion; codependency;

Influence; attachement. All these

emotional expressions show us

a lack of awareness that everything

-including the territories of the

most immediate and primary receptivity

in human experience, human emotionality-

is a reflection of the Superior.

In a way, this approach to Saturn

from the distorted human emotionality,

rigidify us and leads us to either

pain -to memories of pain-,

or ambition -that we seek to ease

with our relationships and interactions-.

Well, as per usual when we study

planets that sustain a triplicity,

we’ll delve into the distorted expression

of Saturn from the identity structures,

from the six personalities, when

they claim to themselves our receptivity

and channel it to areas where we

feel received or receiving -that is

to say, territories of human emotionality-.

From these personalities we display

any of these behaviours that entail

a distortion of the maximum receptivity,

of the awareness of being vessels:

self-defensiveness, control or obstruction

of our feelings to avoid emotional

involvement. Or we can also polarise

into, as I say, emotional lightness.

In both options we avoid connections,

either protecting ourselves or

not committing.

In any case, we obstruct the receptive flow

because we are not aware that

everytime we interact from a

receptive place, the primordial

receptivity is being expressed.

That which sustains everything we

receive, express and experience.

So we distrust, and become pessimists.

Why? Because we make it ours.

Thus, projecting ourselves from

our ambitions or needs.

We’ll see that Cancer can be indifferent.

In limitation, Cancer is absent.

Therefore being cruel, because

we are not in the present moment with you.

Or we will see how Scorpio

becomes possessive, obstructing

the fusion with others as soon as

we face something that cause us rejection.

Or we will see how in Pisces we

protect ourselves from the feeling of ‘dissolution’

and consequently, we only favour

bonds or unions with others to

escape from the fear that causes us.

These are different distorted

emotional expressions, caused by

the deviation of the information

that sustains our receptivity,

actualised in our unions.

This manipulation takes place by

ignoring that within those territories

of maximum human receptivity,

we reflect the primordial reception

of absolute balance and creative will

that was received and formulated

as space-time by Saturn.

Hence, Saturn represents from the

personalities: the manipulation of

ultimate receptivity -I mean the

awareness that everything is a reflection

of something greater-, and particularly,

a distortion we project into our

emotional experiences, into our

feelings and affections, since this

represents the Ego’s closer approach

to a receptive flow. So, instead of

comprehending our connections as

the reflection of something greater,

we tend to feel like our connections

represent us, or “are us”.

By placing ourselves in the centre

we lose awareness that everything

is a reflection of the Divine.

However, from a higher level of

consciousness, Saturn embodies

the awareness of Infinity, the

intuition of Infinite, the openness to

big questions like ‘who are we?’

‘why are we here?’, ‘what is the

purpose of all this?’.

The embodiment, manifestation or

delimitation akin to a vessel,

of something far beyond what

we can articulate or formulate

in Saturn. Therefore, in our way back

from the spiritual journey if you will,

when we’ve embraced the awareness

of the unmanifested, can we ask ourselves

about what we receive, constrain

and reflect through Saturn’s

information field.

This is not easy to express, so

hopefully this brief reading will help.

Please close your eyes for a moment

and see if you resonate with this

I don’t expect you to understand it,

but more like vibrate with these words.

Take a deep breathe, ground yourselves

and surrender to this adaptation

I did of a writing from Madirolas,

a kabbalistic writer. It reads:

Oh, infinite deity manifested through

Saturn. Today, we approach you

through the image of the celestial queen.

The great mother, provident and fertile.

In your womb, all universes are born,

unfold, and perish. You, who

bestow life upon all beings,

sustain them with loving care in

your protective embrace. When their

appointed time comes, you beckon

them back, enriched by the fruits

of their journey through the dimensions

of existence you have outlined,

leaving behind the false mirages

of bad dreams. Please, always

reveal to us your luminous and

benevolent countenance. In this

understanding, we grasp the necessity

of concealing light, giving rise to your

laws and cycles of births and deaths.

We share in your sorrow for the fall

of creatures into the worlds of form,

blinded by the shadow of ignorance.

Yes, we comprehend that this is

essential for learning the lessons of form,

for without separation, there is

neither freedom nor merit.

You bear with infinite patience

the weight of so much sorrow and

misfortune, all the while anticipating

the soul's return to its divine roots.

In these moments, we too partake

in your joy during the reunion,

as you hear the jubilant cry of souls

whose ultimate perfection radiates

a light surpassing the splendour

of every earthly luminary. In those

instances, you embody the pure joy

of existence, Saturn, fulfilling all the

soul's aspirations as the Divine Mother.

Through you, we seek blessings and

an authentic experience of the Mystery,

invoking you in the elevated and

holiest name of the Universe.

The light of your life and energy.

Binah of Binah. Saturn of Saturn.
