The Still Point
T.S. Elliot
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance,
I can only say, there we have been: but I cannot say where.
And I cannot say, how long, for that is to place it in time.
The inner freedom from the practical desire,
The release from action and suffering, release from the inner
And the outer compulsion, yet surrounded
By a grace of sense, a white light still and moving.
Apr 3, Thursday. Jupiter is stationing direct (8 Leo) at the Still Point of the Jupiter cycle, where there maybe a pronounced feeling of
disorientation and chaos, as the reorientation to forward movement begins. Since December 4, 2002 the Jupitarian quest for self-love
has had an inner focus and direction as Jupiter retraced the Star Patterns from 18 Leo back to 8 Leo. The retrograde process of a
planet is similar to the image of pulling the arrow back on the bow, moving away from the intended target for the purpose of gathering
power. Then when the arrow is released it moves quickly and easily towards the target or goal. The station direct of a planet then
represents the pause just before the arrow is released. Another image that works to describe this effect is the Still Point. The shift in
direction of a planet�s motion from the Earth�s perspective creates a pause or Still Point indicating the center balanced point of power
where there is no movement but everything is possible and everything exists at this infinity point before it begins to differentiate or
move into form. This Still Point is similar to the experience of a pendulum as it changes direction, where it appears to stand still or
stop. This is further explained by Heisenberg�s Uncertainty Principle stating that �The more precisely the position is determined, the
less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa� http://www.aip.org/history/heisenberg/p08.htm Now this gets a
bit technical but it is worth having a sense of for better understanding of the Still Point of a planet. In other words ��If we know
the exact momentum of a particle, then its position is completely unknowable, and vice versa. We know when the
pendulum is in the changing point, when it is at rest, its velocity is zero. But the momentum, at low speed at
least, is equal to velocity multiplied by mass. We know the velocity is zero, so when we multiply any quantity
with zero, we get zero. According to Heisenberg's principle of uncertainty, the position of the pendulum at rest
becomes diffuse and completely indefinite. In other words, the pendulum can be just about any place in the
Universe for just a tiny fraction of time with infinite speed. The rapid disappearance of the pendulum into the
Universe is so fast, that we cannot detect it in our level of existence and reality. The reason we have used the
swing of a pendulum as a showcase is because the pendulum represents any system that oscillates or moves
back and forth, whether such an oscillator pulsates concentrically, goes around in orbits, or turns about itself. From
the standpoint of one observer, there are always two points at which either of these systems appears to be at
rest. To be completely at rest means that the movement has reached the point where it changes or reverses
direction. That point of rest implies somehow a disappearance of matter in infinite or almost infinite velocities.
http://home22.inet.tele.dk/hightower/octave2.htm So with this background we get a sense of what our senses experience when a
planet shifts direction from the Earth�s perspective, because ultimately the planet is not reversing in its orbit but the Earth is passing
the orbit of the planet so it appears to shift direction. However, the effect on the Earth based observer creates the experience of the
Still Point, which is not limited by time or space. The Still Point is beyond duality in a place between the worlds where past and future
meet in the now. So any planetary station is an opportunity to more consciously experience infinity. Considering the already
expansive qualities of Jupiter that are designed to actualize the path of self-realization it is especially useful to consciously attune to
this timing pausing at this Still Point to reflect upon the aim of the intended target for the arrow of consciousness to fly towards. (See
