Dave, thank you for a most extraordinary diary. You have a gift.

Triple rec’d!

What may be relevant in this discussion is what happened when the newly elected president ended up giving the generals what they wanted re the surge in Afghanistan. It’s been reported he’s gained confidence and the dynamic has changed with his taking control vis-a-vis the Pentagon, but this time he’s dealing with other powerful forces [...]

Always appreciate your perspective, Masoninblue. Recommended.

That and I’d like to see him give back the Nobel Peace Prize.

Laughton and these clips are superb.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

“Unlike past revolutions and wars where the object was to demonize the other, who was really just a projection of what we did not like or understand about ourselves, label him an enemy, and defeat him by killing or enslaving him; this revolution is about awakening ourselves to who and what we are and then, [...]

Seconded.

Many, but I don’t exclude myself from that category. I look at it this way. When one spends time honestly looking closely at oneself, a person is likely to see that there are unconscious areas in which each of us is asleep and areas in which we are at varying levels of awareness. There are [...]

I may not be tuning in to your meaning, but I think of the difference between the Age of Pisces now past, and the Age of Aquarius, the latter being the current age. Given our collective state of consciousness during the preceding era, there was more of an emphasis on following leaders. But we have [...]

“I am awake.” Can’t think of a better reply, or one more true.

Masoninblue,

“Occupy Mordor…” Cogent as always.

I wonder, is there any historical figure who wielded great power without being corrupted by it?…aside from the illumined carpenter of Nazareth. Gandhi, perhaps?

So, are you suggesting we defer to their authority without question?

How about a rebuttal to the points that Cole is making?

Great job! The quality of the video is excellent. Thank you!

Hi Crane-Station, I’m glad to see your diary. We have a community garden in my town. I noticed the local food banks have a lot of dry goods but no fresh produce. We have three beds that are “community beds,” and the rest are for individuals. We give some of the produce to local social [...]

It is true that Bradley Manning shares the Saturn/Uranus conjunction with a large group of people, none of whom are sitting in a brig in Virginia and facing life imprisonment. But the essence of the myth would apply in some way to anyone having this combination in their charts. This conjunction is in a way [...]

Marjorie Orr thinks the birth date for Gaddafi may not be accurate. But the June 7, 1942 date has a ruthless, willful, violent, and power driven Mars/Pluto conjunction in Leo square Venus, an autocratic and contradictory Saturn/Uranus conjunction, and a wide Sun conjunct Saturn, which can be egocentric. Without a TOB, there is insufficient data [...]

Have you heard of Stanislav Grof? If not, he’s a psychiatrist who did experiments in Maryland with LSD before it became illegal. He later developed a way to induce non-ordinary states of consciousness without drugs called “holotropic breathwork.” I’ve done it several times and it’s one of the richest and most profound experiences of my [...]

“Master” is far too grand for one such as myself. lol

Bradley Manning’s dob is December 17, 1987, Crescent, OK – no TOB that I know of.

It appears that the Recommend feature is inoperative.

~~~ModNote: The ‘Recommended’ feature works, despite the visual error message. We are working on it.~~~

Seconded. Thank you, Wendy!

Mason, thanks for your post! Speaking of Prometheus, I was struck by how closely the image of Prometheus Bound and the myth fits Bradley Manning. He has Uranus (Prometheus) conjunct Saturn (Bound) in his natal chart. Another interesting connection of Manning with the Prometheus myth is that in the myth, Prometheus is a champion of [...]
