Well, are we now in the end game? With Israel last? Last for what? Will Israel’s year-long rampage against the Palestinians end up in self-destruction? and will Israel take the entire Mideast with it? How about the rest of the world? All possible.
It is said that in order to become TRULY ALIVE one must . . .
Yes.
As a daily, hourly, minute by minute meditation.
That way, one FLOWS WITHIN THE ONGOING PRESENT MOMENT, UNITED WITH ALL AND EVERYTHING.
In other words: Does this grinding global drama, perhaps heating up as never before, serve as ritual ceremony for each of us, and all of us together, to learn to face death unflinchingly, while at the same time learning how to live with peace in our hearts, truth in our voices, and fully authentic expressiveness every moment of every day — no matter what?
Yes.
If you are like me, when Netanyahu spoke recently before the combined House and Senate, receiving a sustained standing ovation when he entered, and dozen of standing ovations during his hour-long speech, you felt ghastly, utterly sick to your stomach.
Question: How many U.S. Senators and Congressmen have dual citizenship with Israel?
But how could that be? — we ask, presuming innocence of genocidal impulses ourselves.
Here’s how.
Money talks. Money, that scrim over the beating heart of nature, has obliterated the humanity of our “elected” (selected) leaders.
What’s it like for the 80% of Israelis who have not (yet) migrated out, when everyone expects retaliation from Iran at any moment?
Check this out.
Reminds me of everyday life in the U.S.A. Except for the fact that the very establishment of the tiny state of Israel for (supposedly “chosen”) people who “identify” as Jews to sit smack the middle of hostile mideast territory, taking over what had been Palestinian land where people of three religions — Jews, Muslims, and Christians — had lived together amicably, and so, from its inception, “surrounded by enemies” — what would one expect but near-continuous friction, often leading to state-run violence?
This morning, at around 5:30 AM, for the first time since I got puppy Scampi three weeks ago, I happened to go outside, stand on the porch while waiting for him — when I was suddenly moved to look up: WOW! Two bright stars, one large, one small, VERY close together — not only exactly conjunct, but appearing at the same declination. WOW. Then, well of course! It’s the Mars (small) Jupiter (large) conjunction, exact today, August 14, at 16°40 Gemini. Furthermore, right now, at around 11:30 AM, six hours later, they are just about to be exactly opposed to the quickly moving, now at 15° Sagittarius Moon. Meanwhile, they are also, both of them, square Saturn at 17°48 Pisces, and forming a square with Venus, now at 11°43 in Virgo.
In other words, thanks to the Moon which briefly completes the formation, today features a grand cross in mutable signs, emphasizing, exaggerating, disclaiming, the workings of our minds — how we pick up, name, process, and interpret our perceptions of the world. So if you feel a bit goofy today, with an energized (Mars) expansive (Jupiter) mind that nevertheless feels constrained, and even confused (Saturn in Pisces), and with a continuous, nearly obsessive need to analyze, figure out, discern what’s true and what’s bullshit, thanks to Venus in Virgo closing in on opposition to Saturn, well, no wonder!
Today’s Mars/Jupiter conjunction at 16°40′ translates into Gemini sabian symbol for 17°.
Well, all I can say, re the above is, LET’S HOPE SO!
Placing this mentally tense and thrumming mutable grand cross (Mars/Jupiter square Saturn opposed Moon square Venus) in a larger perspective, here’s Maureen Richmond, speaking about the 20 year Jupiter/Saturn cycle as critical background to mid-August, 2024.
Me again:
Remember the last Jupiter/Saturn conjunction, exactly at 0° Aquarius, on the Winter Solstice 2020? I sure do. We were excited, assuming the much lauded Aquarian Age was upon us; instead, we were were about to head into the mind-controlling, fear-based, covid con psy-op. Now, four years on, thanks to massive die-offs, plus turbo cancers, pericarditis, and the like, more and more people who formerly trusted Big Gov, Big Med, Big Media, and Big Ed to do what is best for us, are actually waking up. Welcome, folks, to the Great Awakening.
In this context, I have a sense that Trump’s Monday evening, delayed (transit Mercury is retrograde . . .) conversation with Elon Musk, which gained one billion viewers within hours, the section that concerns the massively overrun border, may have been deeply enlightening to a great percentage of those whose brains, until now, have been calcified by TDS.
Yes, we are in the opening square of the latest Jupiter/Saturn cycle now, punctuated by warrior Mars conjuncting Jupiter, in GEMINI. “News,” both real and fake, is spurting every which way. There is no stopping it.
The apocalypse (the revealing) is upon us.
