It was with sadness that I witnessed Q&A’s Stan Grant step away from ABC Australia’s Q&A after racial abuse to him and his family, and yet I felt such admiration for this man watching his parting message. This happened soon after I published the finished 11 part Eris Vanity and Clout Chasing Series, which is all about the energy feeding dynamics that antagonists and enviers obtain, from targeting esteemed protagonists, like Stan.
Read MorePART 9: When Eris cycles is studied it becomes obvious that it is veraciously power hungry. It wants to suck everything up that looks like power, for satisfaction. It’s self-serving. However, towards the end it can cause tremendous suffering. Remember that in Eris’s mythology it talks about Paris and Zeus creating the collapse of an empire with their bad choices regarding abuse of power. Total collapse of the old, and a fall from grace, is what happens towards the end of Eris transits. Eris energy demands total change.

It’s about turning those who are loved and respected, even innocent, upside down, refusing to acknowledge them, nor acknowledge the consequences of action taken that harm another party.
Read MorePART 7: It looks at the mythological story of Eris, who was scapegoated for starting the Trojan War, when it was the brainchild of an insecure player, who wanted to get rid of the competition to his ego superiority. Zeus didn’t want oracle Themis’ prophecy to come true, that Thetis’s son would become more accomplished/powerful/influential etc. than him. Yet Achilles had an amazing education, healthy childhood, and by the time he became an adult, he was mild mannered, wise and a celebrated warrior.
Read MorePART 6: From Eris’s mythology it becomes obvious how deliberate the desire and intention was to win at all cost. To deliberately injure, betray and inflict pain on another. To leave a situation so open-ended or unresolved, that it can drag on for years. And how small the prospect of healing, forgiveness and recovery really was for scorned goddesses Hera and Athena. Only those of the greatest inner fortitude, to allow the transformative process, get to move on from this attempt at entrapment within a distorted sense of self.
Read MorePART 5: In considering the juxtaposition of Eris expression, this involves taking a broad examination of the energy dynamics that have been dysfunctional for ages. The cruelty in these closed-minded social situations need to be understood; regarding putting another in a “prison” situation, to take a gain from them. Making one party the Eris marginalised and disenfranchised. This entails discrimination and refusing to allow in the fresh air of change.
Read MorePART 4: Vanity is the excessive belief in one’s own abilities or attractiveness to others, to a detriment. Paris of Troy wanted to make these powerful goddesses dependent on him, so that he can control them, with his (false) narrative; to be disempowered by a false appearance of lowered position, influence or worth in society. The audacity of a mere mortal inflicting these injustices on those of higher rank and superior qualities infuriated the three goddesses Hera, Aphrodite and Athena…
Read MorePART 3: The cold hearted and immature doesn’t want the prolific-with-good-intentions to grow and exceed in excellence beyond them, which is why they want to diplomatically, but stealthily keep them connected to them. Perhaps providing the illusion of mutual support, when it’s a one way avenue only… so that one person can steal and enjoy the other’s accolades, at their expense, and cause them immense sorrow.
Read MorePART 2: At the start of Eris transits, greedy and materialistic people become particularly shrewd in business, to the point of blindness. The opportunistic become willing to do anything to get ahead; make false accusations, make ill alliances for clout, stir up drama, ride the fastest lane to victory, trampling over others, selling their soul, etc. Turning one person, or perhaps an entire community upside down, for money or clout. Eris transits started in earnest at the start of 2020 and will continue until 2028+.
Read MorePART 1: The term clout chasing is sometimes used to refer to the act of pursuing fame or public acclaim. The word clout in clout chaser refers to power or influence. The word chaser implies that such a person is “chasing” fame because they don’t have the talent to attain it by themselves (and so instead they engage in desperate attempts to get famous by any means). In this article we look at the Judgement of Paris and how all of the players staged their own unravelling with their selfishness.
Read MoreThese polarities vividly illustrates the character of two very different kinds of people, with very different kinds of values and characters. It also vividly illustrates a commonality, which is the extraction of fulfilment and satisfaction. One loves themselves genuinely and gets satisfaction from helping others in community. The other gets the satisfaction from propping up their own superiority, off of the downfall of another. One’s fortune is the other’s misfortune.
Read MoreEris elaborates on her emotional storms; the discord of the heart, and the strife in relation. Those who don’t heed her wisdom may continue to have emotional eruptions, mental anxiety that plague them, blaming others, stewing over issues, perhaps wanting revenge, and overall, a feeling of being unable to cope with all the stressors. Those who are able to self-heal their emotional turmoil may eventually arrive at the eye of the storm; the peace in the human heart.
