SATURN IN PISCES: “The first amendment protects our right to be wrong; it protects our right to lie!”

March 10, 2023

 

Yes, of course we are often wrong, and luckily, both our own further experiences and others’ feedback loops help us to correct our mistakes. After all, as Shellenberger concludes, “we are often wrong! That’s what makes us human!”

And yes, even deliberate lies are protected because, after all, every single time we open our mouths to speak we encounter the open space of free will choice — to speak honestly or to lie. Without free will, we are not human. That capacity especially, is what makes us all-too-human: our unfettered choice to walk, or even run, along a psychological/epistemological/sociological edge wherein if we slip and fall, we plummet into the abyss, the abyss of disconnection from others.

For that is what “hell” is, the abyss, where, having retreated into our lying ego shells, we cannot help but feel isolated, ungrounded, fearful. Then, in order to not admit our loneliness, our lack of integrity, even to ourselves, we retreat further, depressed, use addictions to lick our wounds. Or, we utilize our enormous capacity for innovation, creativity, in merely its lowest, flickering, form: pretending, fakery. In this case, in order to overwhelm our innate conscience, we project false energy, defensive bombast, more lies to cover the first lies!

This extreme behavior, of those who would protect their own lies with bigger, stronger, more bombastic lies, is being exposed in Jim Jordan’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on Weaponization of the Federal Government, which featured, yesterday, two independent journalists — chosen by the Biden administration! — Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, who, standing in integrity together, braved, and kindly called to task, the tantrums of those who lie to cover their own guilty conscience.

But first, two more J6 videos, examples of what I imagine Tucker Carlson would have liked to show, but is apparently (wouldn’t you know!) being muzzled now.

Okay. Here goes . . .

Switching from J6 Censorship to the Hearing’s focus on the machinations of the Covid Con, I choose to leave out the absurd tantrums, and focus on a single clip, Rep. Thomas Massie’s commentary, for the first two minutes, followed by Taibbi, for one minute, and Schellenberger, for another minute. Only four minutes in all. Well worth your time.

THE “CENSORSHIP INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX” EXPOSED

The graciousness of both Taibbi and Shellenberger cannot be overstated.

Hopefully, with these two showing the way, we can move into a new era of truth-telling, where, as Q put it, “we are the news now.”

 

FROM POLITICS TO SPIRITUALITY

One twitter comment to the above really struck me:

I agree. That’s why politics is filled with so much passion; we miss religion! Or, I’d rather say: We miss spirituality, our original connection to the divine!

Instead, for centuries, this natural communion between Above and Below, Within and Without, was hijacked, by religious beliefs, dogmas, theologies, (mental) “frameworks” (what I call “conceptual helmets”)  and their multifarious interpretations, plus, for Christians, the Adam and Eve origin story that spawned the made-up doctrine that we are born with “original sin” and so need to be saved, by an intermediary (“priest”) inserted between our individual souls and the mysterious order of Nature.

WHAT?

What newborn child has ever needed to be saved?

Corruption, including lies, is something learned, via the divine gift of free will, making choices, which incur karmic consequences. Not something we are born with.

But remember, the link between cause and effect has been eroding, degenerating into “casual cheating;” the “guilt” that we used to feel for lying, and other “sins,” just about gone! Poof!

Guilt used to be the glue that held our society together. No longer. During Saturn’s transit through Pisces, let us begin to forge a deeper relationship with the divine; or, I should say, let us remember, re-member; let us put ourselves back together again: each a drop in the ocean of being, each an entire ocean within a single drop.

Likewise, even though I appreciate that Christianity itself, besides serving as a warm welcome matt for authentic human connection, and, when followed strictly, helps keep us squirrelly all-too-human folks in line . . . please, I beg of you, dear reader, notice that the natural empathy of humans is, meanwhile, literally hijacked: indoctrinated, usually in childhood, to feel guilty when gazing upon the figure of Jesus Christ upon the cross, “God the Father’s only begotten Son who loved us so much he “died for our sins . . .”

How can we ever repay him?

Even confessing our sins won’t take away the burden of deeply impregnated guilt.

Mea culpa mea culpa . . .

I refer here to Roman Catholics especially, the “faith” I am still recovering from, who “drink his blood and eat his flesh” during Holy Communion.

Okay, and please don’t hate me, despite the shock — of revulsion? recognition? —  that might accompany what I’m going to say next . . . in fact, I am reminded of the shock that attends revisioning the nuclear mushroom cloud of destruction as instead, an iconic symbol of intense human creativity . . . how about we revision Christ on the Cross by situating this powerful image within the much larger/longer historical context of human sacrifice — the black hole eating away at civilization for who knows how many millennia!

 

 

 

Let us begin all over again,

as if we are newly born.

Let us re-member to . . .

 

 

Let us love others

as we learn to love ourselves.

Let us open our hearts

to accept and express

the Infinite Holy Love

that fills and fuels the universe.

 

Love is the glue!

Love replaces guilt.

LOVE

 

RUSSELL BRAND, NEPTUNE’S AVATAR, Suddenly Burns Up the Media/Medical/Military Industrial Complex.

March 8, 2023

 

And he does so in just about one minute. (See the finale of the short video at very end of this post). NOW. During the magnificent conjunction between Venus and Jupiter in Aries, which, if you haven’t seen it yet in the sky, though separating, is still visible, shortly after sunset.

 

 

Not surprisingly, this powerful Venus/Jupiter conjunction, which, one might say, serves to expansively ignite a new, loving, unifying energy, just happens to conjunct Russell Brand’s natal Moon/Mars/Jupiter conjunction in Aries. And . . . that’s not all. In doing so, it also lights up his entire harmonious Mystic Cross configuration that links Mars/Jupiter/Moon/Pluto/Neptune/Sun.

BTW: If you are mostly unfamiliar with astrology, once again, I say, don’t worry, you’ll get the gist, plus will possibly begin to open to the magnificence of how the Above does correlate with the Below, thus revealing life on Earth to be decidedly, unfailingly, and mysteriously . . . Neptunian!

Please be aware, that like many who refuse to be framed up by the matrix, Russell Brand supposedly “suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and bipolar disorder.” In “fitting into” these western medical diagnostic categories, he reminds me of another brilliant, fearless contrarian, she who is also currently burning up the internet with Truth, Roseanne Barr.

Here’s his chart:

And here’s one discussion of the Mystic Rectangle:

Now, why do I call him Neptune’s Avatar? Well check out his chart, above. Sun in rapid-fire, fact-oriented, always curious Gemini, closely opposes spiritual Neptune in far-reaching, seeking-ever-expanding perspective Sagittarius.

And remember, Neptune is also the signature of deception, illusion, addiction, manifesting in one who has great trouble tolerating the extreme differential between the ideal — oneness, mystery, communion — and the contentious, separatist, individualistic, narcissistic, egocentric civilization into which we have all been born. As an avatar, Russell Brand situates himself, and his own life experience, directly in the alchemical cauldron of Neptune’s domain.

If you’re like me, someone who is just beginning to focus in on Russell Brand as someone to pay close attention to as humanity’s great revelation, the Great Awakening, proceeds, you might, like me, also want to check out his profile here, which details his troubled childhood: a difficult kid, raised by a single mom as an only child, sexually abused by a tutor, on and on . . .

https://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/russell-brand-5124.php

He tells us that he got addicted at age 19, the very age when eruptive Uranus, originally in Libra, closely squaring Venus/Descendant in Cancer, by transit, crisscrossed over his Capricorn Ascendant/Descendant axis! I can imagine how that eruptive energy (originally signifying his eruptive relationship with family, especially his mother, who raised her only son all by herself) surfaced in a big way, so powerful that of course, at that age he couldn’t help but seek to calm, to pacify that volcanic energy, by whatever means available.

 

And, what’s really interesting to me, is that, when he went into recovery, at age 27, transit Neptune (ruling both addiction and spirituality, communion, remember) reached 8-10° Aquarius, and thus, in combination with all the planets off his natal Mystic Cross, temporarily created a Grand Sextile, also known as Star of David: six planets, all sextile one another, around the chart, connected across the chart by three oppositions.

Russell Brand does have an “intense, hard aspect,” remember, from Venus, conjunct the Descendant, in loving, sensitive Cancer, to eruptive, volatile Uranus in Libra. This aspect, which triggered his fall into addiction, is very close, and likely especially reflects his relationship to his mother, who remember, raised him, a difficult only child, all by herself.

In sum, his eruptive natal Uranus square Venus/Descendant, triggered and fueled his calamitous fall into Neptunian addiction at 19 when it — transit Uranus — criss-crossed the Ascendant (and opposed Venus/Descendant, squared natal Uranus); then, at age 27, one might say that “the hand of God intervened” when Neptunian addiction gave way to an even more powerful configuration when transit spiritual Neptune reached the area of Aquarius that illuminated his original Mystic Cross and temporarily integrated his entire chart into a very rare Grand Sextile Star of David.

On freeing himself from addictions:

Okay, here’s the recent appearance with Bill Maher that went utterly viral, and did so, as Venus/Jupiter, lighting up the evening sky in Aries, triggered his original Grand Sextile. I’d say that Russell Brand, blessed by transits of first Uranus at 19, which turned him into an addict, and then Neptune at 27, which lifted him to the possibilities of genuine communion beyond addiction, has, within that single rapid-fire minute, newly birthed (Aries) a loving (Venus) expansive (Jupiter) unifying (Neptune) energetic on this long suffering planet, Earth.

Oops! It looks like that video has now been pulled. Just as I went to publish it here!. . . See if you can find that video. Originally published 3/3/23.

Okay, here’s Russell Brand’s reaction to that show with Bill Maher. Haven’t watched it yet myself.

Aha! Here it is again. Wonder if it will be allowed to stay up this time.
