Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi evbody, we are btw icestorms again. May lose power etc ag today. I am just catching up on posts n recommend the transcendent function indeed n hopefully that is wh Obama represents! I am enclosing an excerpt fr some wise words fr a meeting I attended - they were handed out. All I can add is that astrol greatly significant events are happening. One of them is Pluto's entrance into Capricorn. Pluto is the outermost planet that we collectively are now able to handle. During its lengthy duration in Sagittarius, which rules religion, the confrontation btwn literalistic fundamentalism of all stripes and more symbolic and mystical understanding was waged. Positive ex: the most widely read poet in the US is the mystical Sufi [islam] Rumi!. Note the Gaza conflict is btw 2 ongoing 'religions' that have been at it for milennia. Pluto's process is 'transformation'; Capricorn rules manifestation, earth itself, form - so it seems we desperately need to change our attitude about nature and our planet! As it entered on Nov 28, 2008 n will only be in 23 deg by 2020! we have work to do. The words below capture the task ahead. To me, the amazing thing is the speed w/which the global recession n the unfortunate example of Madoff came crashing down.What profiteth it a man if he gain the world and lose his soul thereby? I have a friend who lost EVTHING except her house n car! Her reaction was remarkable. "Perhaps we need to understand what so many others are going thru!" So many charities lost so much........ One of the things at 86 I realize is that inevitably I will have to leave EVERY THING behind, even my toothbrush, slippers, n library, to say nothing of all my family, friends, n u guys! But there are the intangibles, the failures n hopefully some fulfillments. Aberduffy Day sounds a lot nicer than death. We need to re-examine our values! Here is the excerpt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2009. The watchwords this crucial year are Severity, Integrity, Karma! We thank you for attending. Your energy is urgently needed for this tipping point in world consciousness. You are already encountering the Severity with which humanity is being brought to its knees. The collective karma is the result of humanity’s folly in wasting the generous gifts of nature in greed, lust, and the misuse of power! This karma is swift and severe and calls for a drastic change in attitude or else!! The struggle is between the accumulated folly, cruelty, and waste of the passing Age and the potential for transformation of the coming one. Make no mistake. This is it. There will be fear and despair as the old disintegrates and takes new form. Matter matters, but not in the way it has been used and abused. The word comes from mater and refers to Mother Earth whose Holy Wisdom gives Form to Life. Matter is made up of atoms each filled with the Light of Spirit which is hidden Love. Thanks to the unappreciated feminine, your bodies are born, they grow, and perish but the atoms recycle and the collective evolution unfolds. I beg you to meditate on the power of any tiny seed. Where did it come from? What can grow from it? Let Nature be your teacher! Think symbolically! The third word above is Integrity. This is where you come in. During the coming year, as best you can, teach, communicate the importance of honesty. Demonstrate it in your own lives and actions! Write to protest, speak up! Point out that the liar ends up trusting no one; the thief fears loss; the unkind end up unloved. Don’t cheat yourself. All this is spelled out simply in fables, fairy tales, and sacred scriptures of all the mystics. Life on earth is a priceless privilege. Be grateful! Every one of you who is in this gathering has something in common. Young or older, you came into this life willing to be a giver and source of comfort, strength, and wisdom in turn. It’s not just what you do but who you are! As Alice has discovered, every candle has an individual wick but the flame on every candle is the same flame. Candles come in all kinds of shapes and colors. The diversity holds the secret of unity. The number 1 is hidden in every number. The sacred is indeed hidden in the commonplace and many a humble object can yield infinite wisdom simply by ceasing to think of it as a noun and changing that to a verb, to asking your pencil or window pane: What do you do? Nothing is hidden, you are blind. Having eyes, you do not see! As Alice discovered, Petrus Bonus, an alchemist, wrote To discover the Philosopher’s Stone, look with the eyes and see with the heart. And another, called Agrippa, wrote in Latin, Virtutes divinae in res diffusae. Divine powers [processes] are diffused in things. So much is missed because it is obvious! We beg you to remember this – Wisdom is full of delight! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank u, fa, for missing me! I hope I cn stick around a bit longer, but given this weather et al, at 86, it's getting harder n harder! Send me pryrs for physic strength! love Silly Old Woman ao New year...new news.
