"Oooga, Boooga, Woooga, Smoooga". . .Something magical to consider doing tonight . . .

Edited on Sat Jan-13-07 12:04 AM by stellanoir

Okay before I begin, and as some of you are aware, in the past I've posted about spiritual approaches to seemingly intractable political problems. Though the vast majority of responses have been amazingly and overwhelmingly positive, fun, and supportive, there have been a couple thought provoking nay sayers.

If you don't want to read all the astro stuff just scroll down to the ***

That's just fine with me, as I do enjoy a lively cyber discussion. As the founder of my
dinky little state, a man who supported religious tolerance when most states did not, so aptly put so long ago, "to hold forth a lively experiment, that a most flourishing civil State may stand and best be maintained, with a full liberty of religious concernments.?"

However, aside from an effort on the Solstice, I've rarely referenced astrology in GD. This is not intended to be a thread upon which to argue the merits of astrology. It is a soft science, an experiential art, and like any esoteric tool, is often made notorious for it's misuse by manipulators, hustlers, and fatalists, obscuring its true, though transcendable essense

My most successful clients over many years, have intuitively known when to buy, move,
sell, move, merge, and marry. I've only needed to say to them, "Yup you're right on the money again."

I would guess that natural gift of timing is a gift that fewer than five percent of the population truly possess. Most want everything yesterday and impatience may indeed be the quintessential not so "original sin." Helping people with the timing of events is fundamentally what astrology is all about.

Take it or leave it. Astrology either helps or confuses some and was never intended to be a convoluted rationalization for "b-b-b-a-a-a-d behaviors."

Yet perhaps, consider a momentary effort in a collective participation in "a lively (cyber) experiment" involving a fleeting focus of consciousness, for free, free, free and
maybe for the highest good of ALL might be worthy of consideration.

Disclaimer: any spiritual suggestions I put forth are only intended TO SUPPLEMENT more traditional forms of activism. Of course they are forevermore for entertainment purposes only.

ASTRONOMICALLY, Mars will conjunct Pluto close to the galactic center by exactitude longitudinal measurement, Saturday at 5:00 am EST. This aspect only happens once a year, unless Mars retros over Pluto, which is a total rarity. Pluto, in relative proximity to the galactic center only happens once every 247.7 years, not including retro cycles that can occur for one to two concurrent years within that broader cycle and close to the year of the conjunction's occurance.

The last time this occurred was pre-Revolutionary War, French Revolution, and Industrial Revolution. Holy Moly.

"Imagine the world of activism on the dawn of one of the most significant periods of
political, social, philosophical and mechanical change. This is the cusp of a giant evolutionary
leap. If this period is parallel, we "cyber-pamphleteers" may take heart that our work will
pay off."

Just in terms of historical significance,consider setting the "wayyy back" machine and pondering all those inspiring pamphlets that may have come in the years to follow, possibly birthed of the events that transpired under this aspect. We just may be cyber pamphleteers here and now.

Of course, that was around the time of Uranus's discovery. Thus, the operative word was "revolution."

That conjunction potentially represents the transformation and purification of and possible enlightenment of the individual and collective will.

Or as some cynical though funny people say "afgo" (another "flopping" growth opportunity.)

Mars is oft represented solely as "the God of War." Sure, it represents that unbelievably stupid behavior, but it represents sports as well as a bunch of other things. One could speculate on whether either of those manifestations are entirely healthy. War is clearly not. Yet sports certainly are for the individuals involved, though the degree to which some individuals project onto sports figures can unquestionably be massively disempowering.

A healthy Mars governs the sense we all have periodically, that we have something unique to contribute to the planet. It also rules the solar plexus, the immune system (warrior cells,) the adrenal and testosterone levels in the body, and ahhh. . .the libido.

Its conjuntion with Pluto could purify all sorts of crapola in reference to these matters. Least of all would be war and peace.

Still, a collective effort in prayer might just quell a boatload of destructive urges. With the consensual dialogue about the war amping up, what do you guys think we can do with a group consciousness to goose a speedy resolution and inspire more folks to realize that violence solves absolutely NOTHING in efforts to manifest a true and lasting peace? A restoration of real justice wouldn't hurt either.

I've been pondering the possibility of those who have evolved, collectively considering projecting a dream wherein many of our leaders have an experience that they recognize the unquestionable error and folly of most of their ways.

Ho Hum.

They could just STEP down and GO away, if we would only think about it intensely enough for a short spell.

That may sound crazy, but I've been thinking about it a lot of late, and it's no crazier than our "misleadership" has been for the past 6 woh-ful years.

Interesting about that older period of history though. I heard one guy interviewed, I can't recall where, who had written about how the history of our country has generally focused on the Pilgrims-------->cut to the Revolutionary War.

Ummm. . . there was roughly a century and a half that transpired between those two events. It was interesting to be sure, especially for one who has roots in the general region where King Philip's War occurred.

Petitions are certainly great in terms of a collective intent. Meditations are certainly great as well. But I think another prayer might just be in order. Here's one that may require more than a little tweaking. . .but time is short.

*** "On this unquestionably auspicious juncture in time, I co create with spirit that those in power who believe they can live above laws long established, will have tomorrow, on the foggy threshold between sleep and wakefulness, a divine awakening to universal law. That
those individuals may finally realize and be truly cognizant of the absolute universal truism that violence solves NOTHING and never has done anything but "perpetuate (even more heinous) retributions." May they be tweaked by the "cosmic parole board" in their sleep, and recognize the gross errors of their ways and change their approach for the greater good of ALL. Or may they be truly exposed for what they truly are and surrender forever their positions of assumed power."

We argue a lot about impeachment. Though that is clearly warranted, resignation would truly be far more expedient and far more gratifying.

Addendum from a dearest of friends:

"My thoughts for a new agenda.

We don't need a new agenda. All the basic human desires for survival have and are being superceded by a non sustainable collective consciousness. Risk of loss of safety at the most primative levels by enforcers of centralized thinking have had drastic
effects. The promise of anything outside of our dependency on life and our present physical manifestation is downright dangerous.

Our resources from Mother Earth to nourish the numbers of us must be put into perspective. Perhaps it's too late I hear but I don't really know. I do know that killing each other as a sanctioned act endorsed by any organization of man, is criminal in intent, regardless of latent reward. (or reward after death)

When will we collectively ask ourselves individually where are the limits we must set for ourselves regarding the consuming of the resources to sustain us as a species? Remember your mother doesn't care! She will, just as happily (a human characteristic I might add) provide for glowing cockroaches long after we are gone.

Any questions. . .?"
