It was three years ago that we were sharing those intense final days of her Earthwalk before she transitioned in 2009 from Pheobus, Virginia. Pheobus is a barrio of the larger adjacent town of Hampton. It has a rich history in the very recent story of the colonial occupation of this continent that the Indigenous people call Turtle Island. Juliet’s final residence and place of departure was less than three minutes across the road to the edge of the bay.

Those first days after she left, I met with the world she had protected me from so well, head on. If I hadn’t been so thoroughly exhausted, I am sure I would have picked up the undertaker by his ear and thrown him out of the house. I felt like I was in the company of a vulture who was taking his kill while still alive, me. Anything to manipulate my fragile and tender emotional state to get himself an extra buck. No love, no respect, no dignity. And all the while I was mindful that his presence was a gift. This company had been referred by a member of the community who came forward to provide us with invaluable assistance. Being rude would have been a worse indignation of myself. He was doing his job. He was doing what he was taught was right and this was/is the largely accepted standard for how we respect (?) life and transitioning (death). I was grateful for the first hand experience of this breach of humanity – no blame, no judgment.

As the undertaker showed me, the human is profoundly conditioned to believe that when a Soul departs from the body, there is no further contact or relation with this Soul anymore, ever. Hence, this truncated human experience where one believes oneself is disconnected from the communication channels based in/originating from the ether, that in reality actually dominate our entire human experience, likewise truncates meaningful dialogue once the transition has occurred. This presented me with a challenge of letting people help me based in trusting their intentions, but no matter what they said I knew that this Soul we called Juliet was in the room with us. She was not dead, her body had expired. That is a substantial loss to be sure, and it is the least significant part in the conversation of Soul growth. To begin and end postmortem conversations with loss is not my experience, nor is it the truth. Some of the greatest gifts of understanding and unconditional self love have emerged since her departure from her body. Our new relationship continues to be an essential part of my maturing process here in my Earthwalk underway…

How could it be that it never occurred to me that the loving Soul of Juliet would disappear? It was a work of genius and one that I may never fully appreciate in this body.

In this world of the truncated human, the truncation is quite deliberate. Of all the controversies I have found myself in speaking out about the apparently flourishing insanity of this world, nothing is more controversial than the infinite power of the integrated heart-mind human potential. The purpose of creating a slave race is well served by developing a ‘truncated human playpen’ where humans basically run around with their hearts closed and their higher heads cut off. Who could think of such a thing? How could the human be manipulated to kill itself and all life around it? We’re free, right?!

Big deep breath.

Because my childhood was so violent, I instinctively took refuge with my spirit companions who now I call My Friends in High Places. Instinct is the highest form of accessible human intelligence in my opinion. It is the gateway to our inter/multidimensional portals inherent in the species itself. It is the intelligence that emerges from the core of our species code to further and protect life, all life, not just our own. Instinct guides our multidimensional, interconnected experience. When our instincts have been impeded on any level, say by the insertion of fear, the human becomes disoriented. A human with a developed intellect and a closed heart (denial of feelings) may never know the difference. As long as its basic survival needs are met, it never questions a truncated reality. The slave matrix is a work of art in its own right.

At 16 I began my sovereign journey, and in the spring of my 18th year I first met Juliet. She was not yet called Juliet. She was Guinnevere Nash, the ex-communicated beloved twin sister of the political prisoner, Graham Nash. She had been marked for expiration, to be as gentle as possible, and this resulted in what she called her ‘big’ and most well documented Near Death Experience or Eternal Life Experience, as she and I both prefer. Her coming back to her body did not make her life easier to be sure. It was early in her recovery that we began our 27 years together, this time.

I knew she was coming into my life. I had several dreams preparing me, particularly in my early teens. In the few months prior to our first meeting, I had several waking visions alerting me that I would soon meet with a female refugee from the music business and I was to help her. I was paying attention as best I could in my very angry and wounded place at that time. I never doubted my inner guidance. I didn’t always listen to it, but I never doubted it.

Life with Juliet provided me an opportunity to continue developing my connection to my inner life with passion. Intuition was always the dominant voice. Our dreams, feelings, and multidimensional observations were integrated in the totality of our dialogue and experience. She was an adamant advocate for being true to Soul and said as much in very plain language. I have never met anybody as honest and consistent as Juliet. Having no religious dogma to untangle, I was ready to meet and pursue the life of Soul. And I promise you, she would never have me a clone of hers. Not a chance. To be true to my voice is not to parrot hers. We never would have endured all we did in those years had I not the integrity to stand in my own truth from the beginning.

There were less than a handful of days that we did not know where and how each other were. In the few times we were separated, we were given information in our dreams etc. and were always guided back to each other. We called this practice telepathy. We were consciously activating our connection on the higher vibratory planes beyond words and the deception they are capable of. We would ‘tune in’ to each other and gave each other full permission to do so. Permission is very important in accessing clear and real information.

Our telepathic bond was solid when she took her last breath. As I witnessed her gentle loving spirit come for the tattered remains in that body that had suffered so much, our connection in Soul heightened in that very moment. A moment that can never be taken from me, not explained away by some dogmatist in scientists clothing…nor will my sacred inner life be trampled by the ‘seekers and self proclaimed sages’, genuine and false.

That moment of her departure was the beginning for both of us. It is a birthday we both share now and we celebrate our communion every day. Letting go of how we used to be has been the key to open and embrace a totally new dialogue with each other. I will always miss that cuppa tea with her in her body and yet, our new relationship is fulfilling beyond measure. She doesn’t call me by name. She calls me by song and somehow I know my song. I know hers as well. She takes me to many breathtaking places in the cosmos, and radiates from her Light Body proud among my Friends in High Places.

I can only offer my truth, and I know that there are many who are ready to raise the bar in conversation and experience of who we are and what we are doing here as Beings Human on planet Earth.

As the Heart of Humanity opens in the world emerging, remembering who we are and returning to Soul, my story is quite normal. I am not a ‘freak who talks to dead people’ or ‘imaginary beings’ as the dogmatist propaganda would, and has successfully convinced, the large body of the truncated human population to believe. The undertakers are doing their part in the slave matrix encouraging the truncated humans – the living body of heartless, lost humans – to allow themselves to be tools of distraction and reaction, rather than intelligent vessels of Light and Love reflecting the eternal Soul of the Creator itself.

It’s always a choice.

February Forecast Overview:
On the morning of February 3, Neptune’s charter enters Pisces, its ocean home. The last time this happened, California dreaming was gold rush driven. As the last vestiges of slavery continued to divide a nation, Lincoln would become president, Marx and Engels penned the famous phrase “Workers of the world unite”, vocalizing the revolutionary wave that rocked the capitals of Europe.

Today, instead of a gold rush, there’s a race on for oil. Instead of slave to master, we are tethered to the dwindling pay-check and to rising taxes. Every 165 years, Neptune in Pisces removes the blindfold so that we may see again. It prompts the re-envisioning of a reality that will eventually transcend beyond the constraints of the existing social world order. It provokes a more urgent search for collective and personal redemption. To this cause, we must surrender in totality. Through 2026, Neptune in Pisces will represent as a major signature of the times – of this, mankind’s transitional epoch.

Neptune’s entrance into Pisces on Feb 3 may sweep the spotlight away from the Canadian federal budget and the mud slinging White House race while anticipation builds for Super Bowl Sunday.

Hours prior to the full moon in Leo on Feb 7, Saturn in Libra begins retrograde. Acting like a release valve, Saturn retrograde serves to unblock that which has been building momentum and is now sufficiently fuelled for action. It dismantles the outworn rationales prompted by “I should”, and instead refortifies personal will to reclaim empowered self rule. The Leo full moon delivers an unmistakable message. It calls for you to recognize yourself as a creator extraordinaire. If you are not happy about what is occurring in your life, then it is time to risk on a new wind. Set a new goal, experiment more and angst less. Where there’s a spark, there’s fire. A few short hours after the full moon peaks, Venus advances into passionate and driven Aries. Aries is a spontaneous energy, let it grab you. Through mid month, Venus and Ceres in Aries will continue to stoke you with enough fuel to get you up and at ‘em.

It seems we’ll have something extra to talk about as moon rises full. It isn’t Super Tuesday in the USA, but even so, the day can produce a significant buzz. Mercury and the sun in Aquarius align in the early hours of Feb 7 adds a spark and blasts more into circulation. An announcement, discovery, a new trend, or unexpected news awakens “movers and shakers”. Politics may take a twist, perhaps surprisingly so. Will Gingrich concede? Speculative markets are likely to see especially high volume. There can be protests, disruptions, or eruptions. Perhaps we’ll see weather extremes too.

Get a move on as best you can and make productive use of your time and energy this month. Looking to impress the one you love? February 13 could be even sweeter than sweetheart’s day thanks to Mercury’s exit out of Aquarius and into romantic Pisces. By February 26, Mercury will begin to set up for its retrograde cycle which begins on March 4.

**All times listed are PST

Activated dates: Feb 1, 7, 9, 10, 12 -15, 19, 22, 23.

ARIES (MARCH 19 ~ APRIL 19)
It seems you have something newly brewing at month’s start. Once the moon becomes full, you’ll discover what has so far escaped your consciousness or view. Over this first week, Mercury’s building alignment with the sun can keep you immersed in social activity, or conversely, it can find you aiming for extra breathing space. Think-tank, study, or investigation time is a good focus for now.

Along with the full moon in Leo, Venus in Aries, February 7 to March 5, will light a new fire, perhaps surprisingly so. Feb 9, Venus aligns with Uranus – let spontaneity take the lead.  Feb 14 can bring push come to shove, see you step over a significant threshold and/or make a major breakthrough. You could feel forced to take a stand or declare yourself in some definitive way. A new concern, direction, investigation, or dialogue can launch. Feb 18 through 22 stirs the Pisces depths. Allow the natural currents to take you where they will. Seek sanctuary or spiritual replenishment; rest, slip out of view, conjure, wander; let romance and the creative muses whisk you away.

TAURUS (APRIL 19 ~ MAY 20)
The benefits of Neptune’s advance into Pisces are not to be underestimated. Neptune will open you up to yourself in a way you have not yet fully experienced. As time advances, you’ll feel better integrated, within yourself and in relationships in general.
Allow yourself to dream and to envision where you want to be. If you can’t see it in your heart and mind, how can you expect to get yourself there? Neptune now prompts you to put your creativity to work and to aspire higher.

Mercury aligned with the sun over this first week proves there are more ways to you to reinvent the wheel. Explore new avenues, try a new hat on for size. A new career ambition or project may be just the thing that will build a better bridge into tomorrow. The full moon Feb 7 can illuminate you or catapult you in some unexpected way. You could face an important decision or bare it all talk. The full moon can bring something unexpected to do with home or family matters. When you play your cards right, there’s opportunity for the taking.

Feb 18 through the new moon on February 21, the stars ease you along. Things should progress quite well around this time. The groove is good, so you could coast or bide time and get by just fine, but you’ll seize the best advantage if you apply yourself while the getting runs so smooth.

GEMINI (MAY 20 – JUNE 20)
Ambition looks good on you. Through the full moon Feb 13, Mercury in Aquarius keeps you buzzed up and welcome to new possibilities. Your creative inspiration and ability to make good connections is now at peak. This first week of the month favours attention seeking. Promote, apply, sign-up, study, negotiate, circulate, socialize.  Good things can happen when you least expect it. The informing full moon on Feb 7 can deliver exciting news or an unexpected advantage, good deal, or opportunity. It can bring an occasion to flirt or to show off. The full moon may also provide you with an extra edge of luck or good timing. You could score a good deal. On another note, you could give in to extravagance, indulge in an added luxury or guilty pleasure, or be prompted to take a greater than usual risk. While an educated risk is an opportunity in the making, don’t gamble with what you can’t afford to lose.  Feb 15 can be a day to cut your losses, to let it go, to move on to something new.

In the days prior to and following the new moon on February 21, allow yourself and others extra margin. Creative rather than left brain work is recommended. New prospects or potentials can bud, but don’t bank on the promise until you give it the test of time. If you have to submit paperwork, sign official forms, or renegotiate legal or financial matters, make sure to read the fine print. The propensity for missing important details is higher than usual. Your health and your susceptibility to advertising is more vulnerable too. Make sure to clarify agreements, plans, and intentions so that it doesn’t come back at you later. Mercury retrograde is soon upon us. Don’t fall asleep at the wheel!

CANCER (JUNE 20 – JULY 22)
Neptune’s travel through Pisces will open you to life in ways you can’t imagine now. You’ll feel more attuned to the world and to your higher consciousness too. Your intuitive faculty can grow stronger; your spirituality can gain new life too. For some, this Neptune placement will prompt a vocational calling of great purpose. For some, it can set the stage for fame, for others, true love.

On the more immediately level, over the first week of the month, Mercury’s alignment with the sun can dish up a new financial opportunity. This planetary pairing can also help you to shatter through your own psychological, emotional, or relationship ceilings. What you discover, about yourself or another can be significantly life-altering. The full moon in Leo on Feb 7 is accompanied by Saturn in Libra beginning retrograde in the early a.m., and Venus (ruler of Libra) advancing into Aries by late night. That’s quite a stellar boost. Watch for a personal breakthrough moment, a revealing exchange, or for a sudden change of course. A relationship, legal, or financial impasse can suddenly give way.

Don’t be afraid to give up to get. Mercury’s advance into Pisces by Feb 13, the sun’s advance into Pisces on February 18, and the new moon on Feb 20 dish up your most opportune portion of the month. Relinquish as the moment dictates, follow the natural river flow, stay confident in your creator self. The universe is abundant, even when you can’t recognize that it is.

LEO (JULY 22 – AUG 22)
Fresh starts, next bests, second tries. You are currently steeped in a discovery process that calls for significant experimentation. Stay observant, open to possibilities, and reserve judgment until you have explored more. Mercury’s building alignment with sun over this first week of the month suggests you are crossing a lot of new ground. Someone or something in particular can have you quite buzzed up and/or keep you guessing. So much is up in the air. There’s extra risk to face. Even though you seem to be very aware of this fact, you can still be taken by surprise.

One way or another, the full moon in Leo on Feb 7 will put you in the know. You could have a sudden epiphany or shatter through a personal mindset or impasse. A financial, legal, or relationship matter can suddenly see progress too.  Once past this threshold peak, you’ll find yourself off to the races. Circumstances will fire up or play out fast, especially in the days immediately following the full moon. (Feb 9, 10.) By mid month (Feb 14, 15) you’ll know better where it will lead/settle. Venus in Aries, Feb 7 to March 4, offers fresh perspective and new opportunity. February 18 to 22, go with the flow rather than to push or strain. What’s brewing or possible will naturally reveal itself. If you feel confused or uncertain, pause until you gain a stronger signal. If you still must take action, keep bottom lines in mind, clear your clutter, and aim for what is simple, most productive and useful.

VIRGO (AUG 22 – SEPT 22)
Over this first week or so, Mercury in alignment with the sun can dish up a new challenge for you to face. Positively, this aspect could introduce you to new techniques, solutions, training programs, or job prospects. Someone in your daily get go can create a significant impact, plus or minus. If you can’t quite figure it out how to navigate, look to the revealing full moon on Feb 7, to clarify more and show you how to play it next. A creative insight, lucrative potential, or helpful information can get you re-juiced and/or recommitted. Once Venus lights a fire in Aries, late on Feb 7, you’ll find yourself on a much faster track.

Over the coming year, Neptune’s advance into Virgo will be especially influential for those born around Aug 22, but of course, each of us will attune to Neptune in our own unique ways. For all Virgo folks, Neptune in Pisces will open you up to yourself and the world around you beyond what you have experienced so far. The prompt advocates that you dissolve the consciousness of “I can’t” in order to embrace “I can” more fully. Neptune asks you to lose yourself in order to find yourself – in other words, to surrender who you’ve been in order to step more fully into who you are. Give yourself full creative licence and try a new you on for size.

Feb 18 through 22 can find you completely immersed. These few days can make you conscious of something you had not before considered or realized. You can be especially emotional responsive, perhaps even overly-sensitized to your surroundings. Immunity may be lacking, so make sure to safeguard your health and don’t let yourself get talked into things that are costly or an imposition. On a positive note, Feb 18 to 22 are ideal for dreaming, conjuring, and creative expression; for spiritual replenishment, or a romantic interlude.

LIBRA (SEPT 22-OCT 22)
The full moon on Feb 7 can produce unexpected excitement. You could have an announcement or news to share. Someone could make a surprise visit or entrance into your life. (If your due date is around this time, know the delivery could be an especially quick one.) A windfall, prize or contest win is within the range of possibility. Try your luck with a radio contest, a scratch & win, put your name into the hat, etc. – but don’t risk what you can’t afford to lose. A concert, game, or some other great entertainment can give you plenty to talk about too. Aspire higher, raise your own bar. It’s an ideal time to show off what you can do or to take a stand on something that matters deeply to you.

A new romance can make you feel like you’ve been struck by destiny’s thunderbolt. When it’s right for you, you’ll know it in no uncertain terms. Regarding new interests, relationships, independence, or ambitions, watch for Venus in Aries, Feb 7 to March 4, to keep the fire going strong and to speed things very quickly along.

Neptune in Pisces, beginning Feb 3, and Pisces month beginning Feb 18, adds emphasis on finding more meaning and purpose, in your work and in your life in general. Volunteer activities or concentration on spiritual development can fill in that missing something. Even if you feel you have no time for the extras, know every drop in the bucket adds up. Over time, each thought, each prayer, each contribution will serve to quench the ocean’s needs.

SCORPIO (OCT 22 ~ NOV 21)
“Have to” can weigh heavily on you now. You can feel particularly strained between the crosscurrents of stop and go. Psychological or emotional pressure can get the better of you in this first week of the month, but watch for the full moon catalyst to be a stress reliever. Accompanying the full moon, Saturn’s turn to retrograde and the advance of Venus firing up in Aries can disintegrate blocks, doubt, dilemma, or resistance. You should find you can harness the drive and opportunity you couldn’t claim previously. In fact you could be surprised to find that moving it forward is much easier than you have anticipated.

Neptune in Pisces is a realigning and softening influence. It can also be an exposing influence, making you more obvious to yourself or to others. Positively, the coming Neptune in Pisces years will make you more pliable (in the best of ways), more open to sharing more of yourself, and more willing to explore beyond where you have been so far. It can keep you inspired and hopeful regarding love and life in general. It opens up new potentials and can help you to resource more of your natural talents and creativity. Feb 18 to 22, you can feel very much at one and/or at peace within yourself. Should you find yourself lost within your thoughts or heart, or floating “elsewhere”, well that’s fine too. A temporary escape or cut-out is as good as a rest. This is a great few days to submerge yourself; to dive into a creative project, to seek sanctuary and healing, to gift yourself more, to let romance sweep you away, or to let go and let God. It’s also a good time to start a marketing campaign. For some, Neptune in Pisces can open the pathway to your ultimate path of service. For some, it is a fame generating influence.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 ~ DEC 21)
Neptune in Pisces, beginning Feb 4, ushers you into a poignant life chapter. It is one that will find you craving more time to escape into the recesses of your consciousness. This is where you conjure and create the best, where you can commune directly with your soul. Peace, quiet, solitude, privacy, and spiritual replenishment will become even more vital a requirement. This Neptune placement and the Pisces concentration later in the month, especially Feb 18 to 22, can make you especially responsive and sensitized to environments, moods, and people. Too, you’ll find that you grow more protective regarding your family and those closest to your heart. As Pisces month gets under way, your vulnerabilities can be exposed. This can be a good thing when it sweetens the moment, but of course it is not such a good thing if you feel it marks you as prey.

It is important to face yourself honesty. Are you covering up something that you know is not in your best interest? Come clean with yourself and seek professional help if you have addictions, food issues, etc. Your odds for personal triumphs are bettered now.

The match-strike Leo full moon on Feb 7 (and the few days following) can be the highlight of the month. Luck and synchronicity is on your side. You could receive special attention, good news, a surprise invitation, a gift, or an award. Watch for someone or something unexpected, and be ready to take a big leap of faith.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 ~ JAN 20)
While subtle, Neptune’s advance into Pisces can usher in a breath of fresh air. If you are sensitive enough, you’ll notice that you have a new attitude or approach to life, and that you have begun to express more of yourself. As you attune to Neptune, you can find it is easier to tap into your creativity and natural resources; also that it’s easier to simply be yourself in social situations. This natural progression fits on you like a glove.

Over this first week you can expect to stay busy, both physically and mentally. You can come up with some clever creative ideas or you could discover more lucrative money-making prospects. It is wise to also turn your attention to financial improvement. Better progress can be made.

Too, Mercury and the sun can stimulate a fresh perspective on wants, needs, resources and capacities. Progressively, you’ll get clearer on an issue, relationship, plan, or goal. To a large extent, you can feel like things are really coming together very well. Your intuition can partner with a great sense of timing. Act or speak up when the impulse strikes. Even when the results aren’t what you expect, understand it as a piece of the bigger picture puzzle.
If you find yourself channelling your inner rebel, there’s like to be a root cause. Don’t stuff it, observe and analyze instead. It can be an appropriate time to push your boundaries or to be a risk taker, just make sure you stay smart about it.

This first week of the month can also find you wrestling or racing ahead of yourself. Premonitions or intuitive flashes are worth heeding. You could feel anxious to see what’s around the corner or to get onto that fresh page. You’ll get there soon enough. Watch the triggering full moon Feb 7 for a release, a momentous meeting or exchange, or to put you in the know, perhaps unexpectedly so. Relationship or financial matters can reach a break-though or breaking point. From here, you’ll be able to navigate your way with a freer conscience.

Once Pisces month begins (Feb 18), a new trend, study, interest, or remedy could grab hold of you. It (or they) could be just the ticket. Follow what builds most naturally. It could lead you somewhere good.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 ~ FEB 18)
A new objective or interest seems to have claimed your attention. You’ll stay peaked and curious right through the full moon on Feb 7. In the mood for a makeover? Shake it up a little, change it a lot. Whatever strikes your fancy.  Through this first week, Mercury and the sun bring the ideal time to hit your own refresh button.

On another note, this first week can see you grow more consciously aware of your instincts, impulses, and reactions. You could have a sense of watching yourself in a mirror. Your heightened perception can be a great teacher, listen up!

On Feb 3, Neptune will leave the sign of Aquarius for good. You’ve had plenty of time to try life on for size. Neptune’s advance into Pisces will help you to utilize and apply what you have learned so far. You’ll reclaim and resource more from your hidden depths. Positively, this Neptune placement can help you tap into more of your creativity and potentials, to feel better integrated at the core. If you find yourself feeling uncertain or confused, remember to respond rather than react and you’ll eventually get yourself back on track.

The full moon can bring an opportunity for new independence and a fresh start. It can be an ideal time to launch a new business venture. Someone significant could make their presence or intentions better known. A first meet and greet, an invitation, an intuitive flash, news, a new contract or relationship is a start of so much more to come.

PISCES (FEB 18 ~ MARCH 19)
Neptune’s advance into Pisces will open you up to life in ways you have not yet experienced. Now and over the coming years, this bigger picture transit positions you at ripened stage of soul evolution. You are just at the start of so much more coming down the pike. Maintain faith in your deserving and don’t ever give up on your dreams!
In the more immediate program, start of the month makes you very aware of the world around you – what’s missing from it, and what it will take for you to move from A to B. Relationship and financial matters come into sharper view now too. You’ll see that some of the writing on the wall is too obvious to be ignored any longer.

Over this first week, stay observant and act on your intuitive flashes. Tuesday’s full moon can fire up a new incentive. A sudden insight, new technique, piece of information or a fresh challenge can be a positive stimulant. You could stumble upon a better plan or more useful information. A closed door could open; a lucrative new job, money making prospect, or better technique may suddenly appear. Venus in Aries, Feb 7 to March 4, increases your confidence and creativity. It also provides you with freshly refuelled initiative. This Venus placement is good for your libido too.

Feb 18 to 22 is a time to go submerge yourself in the immediacy of the moment, to go by feel, and to allow the natural flow to guide you. It can be a time of creative exploration, romance, or self promotion. Its also an ideal time to take a pause, to rest, heal and recharge.

Beyond the Matrix radio program on BBSRadio.com

Although I was fortunate enough to have parents who did not try to force me into any one set of beliefs, being Jewish was in no way possible to escape growing up. It was constantly reinforced at every holiday, every service, and every encounter with the rest of my relatives. I was forever reminded how intelligent my family was, how important it was to remember where we had come from, and to be proud of all the suffering our people had overcome in order to finally achieve their dream in the perfect society of Israel.

This last mandatory belief was one which I never fully understood, but I always kept the doubts I had about Israel’s spotless reputation to the back of my mind. “Our people” were fighting a war, one I did not fully comprehend, but I naturally assumed that it must be justified. We would never be so amoral as to fight an unjust war. Yet as I came to learn more about our so-called “conflict” with the Palestinians, I grew more concerned. I routinely heard about unexplained mass killings, attacks on medical bases, and other alarmingly violent actions for which I could see no possible reason. “Genocide” almost seemed the more appropriate term, yet no one I knew would have ever dreamed of portraying the war in that manner; they always described the situation in shockingly neutral terms. Whenever I brought up the subject, I was always given the answer that there were faults on both sides, that no one was really to blame, or simply that it was a “difficult situation.” It was not until eighth grade that I fully understood what I was on the side of. One afternoon, after a fresh round of killings was announced on our bus ride home, I asked two of my friends who actively supported Israel what they thought. “We need to defend our race,” they told me. “It’s our right.”

“We need to defend our race.”

Where had I heard that before? Wasn’t it the same excuse our own country had used to justify its abuses of African-Americans sixty years ago? In that moment, I realized how similar the two struggles were—like the white radicals of that era, we controlled the lives of another people whom we abused daily, and no one could speak out against us. It was too politically incorrect to do so. We had suffered too much, endured too many hardships, and overcome too many losses to be criticized. I realized then that I was in no way part of a “conflict”—the term “Israeli/Palestinian Conflict” was no more accurate than calling the Civil Rights Movement the “Caucasian/ African-American Conflict.” In both cases, the expression was a blatant euphemism: it gave the impression that this was a dispute among equals and that both held an equal share of the blame. However, in both, there was clearly an oppressor and an oppressed, and I felt horrified at the realization that I was by nature on the side of the oppressors. I was grouped with the racial supremacists. I was part of a group that killed while praising its own intelligence and reason. I was part of a delusion.

I thought of the leader of the other oppressed side of years ago, Martin Luther King. He too had been part of a struggle that had been hidden and glossed over for the convenience of those against whom he fought. What would his reaction have been? As it turned out, it was precisely the same as mine. As he wrote in his letter from Birmingham Jail, he believed the greatest enemy of his cause to be “Not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who…lives by a mythical concept of time…. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.” When I first read those words, I felt as if I were staring at myself in a mirror. All my life I had been conditioned to simply treat the so-called conflict with the same apathy which King had so forcefully condemned. I, too, held the role of an accepting moderate. I, too, “lived by a mythical concept of time,” shrouded in my own surreal world and the set of beliefs that had been assigned to me. I had never before felt so trapped.

I decided to make one last appeal to my religion. If it could not answer my misgivings, no one could. The next time I attended a service, there was an open question-and-answer session about any point of our religion. I wanted to place my dilemma in as clear and simple terms as I knew how. I thought out my exact question over the course of the seventeen-minute cello solo that was routinely played during service. Previously, I had always accepted this solo as just another part of the program, yet now it seemed to capture the whole essence of our religion: intelligent and well-crafted on paper, yet completely oblivious to the outside world (the soloist did not have the faintest idea of how masterfully he was putting us all to sleep). When I was finally given the chance to ask a question, I asked, “I want to support Israel. But how can I when it lets its army commit so many killings?” I was met with a few angry glares from some of the older men, but the rabbi answered me. “It is a terrible thing, isn’t it?” he said. “But there’s nothing we can do. It’s just a fact of life.” I knew, of course, that the war was no simple matter and that we did not by any means commit murder for its own sake, but to portray our thousands of killings as a “fact of life” was simply too much for me to accept. I thanked him and walked out shortly afterward. I never went back. I thought about what I could do. If nothing else, I could at least try to free myself from the burden of being saddled with a belief I could not hold with a clear conscience. I could not live the rest of my life as one of the pathetic moderates whom King had rightfully portrayed as the worst part of the problem. I did not intend to go on being one of the Self-Chosen People, identifying myself as part of a group to which I did not belong.

It was different not being the ideal nice Jewish boy. The difference was subtle, yet by no means unaffecting. Whenever it came to the attention of any of our more religious family friends that I did not share their beliefs, I was met with either a disapproving stare and a quick change of the subject or an alarmed cry of, “What? Doesn’t Israel matter to you?” Relatives talked down to me more afterward, but eventually I stopped noticing the way adults around me perceived me. It was worth it to no longer feel as though I were just another apathetic part of the machine.

I can obviously never know what it must have been like to be an African-American in the 1950s. I do feel, however, as though I know exactly what it must have been like to be white during that time, to live under an aura of moral invincibility, to hold unchallengeable beliefs, and to contrive illusions of superiority to avoid having to face simple everyday truths. That illusion was nice while it lasted, but I decided to pass it up. I have never been happier.

I Am Rich

This is not what I expected
I had always wanted more
But you believed that Love was all I would need
You taught me that I am not poor

I am rich
Let the world go on believing
it can dry up all my dreams

Your love is the water
and I have waded into the holiest of streams

I am rich beyond believing
I am more than my wildest dreams

Your love is the water
and I’ve waded into the holiest of streams

I am rich
I am rich

We are all multidimensional Beings, so we do not need to channel some part of ourselves or some “Divine Being” to be connected, for we are ALWAYS connected to All That Is. We are always merged with all aspects of the Self, and this is called the I AM Presence. We are eternally connected to Source energy, and spirituality is truly not as difficult or complicated as some individuals make it seem through their “teachings”. It is as natural to us as breathing, for we are eternally connected with All Life within Creation. We are Spirit Beings, so we do not need any methods or saviors to help us to remember the Self and Ascend. There are some individuals, whose ways only make things more complicated than they are in our Truth of Being. We are Source Beings, and all we need to do is connect with our inner Source Self. There is no method or a particular approach for this, no one way or another, just pure intent of Being! God/Goddess is not in seeking, it is in knowing that Source is everywhere, within us and all around us. It’s in everything! True spirituality is simple and organic, and not as complex as some wish to make it. We don’t need to work hard on becoming spiritually connected, because we already are pure Spirit! To be connected or disconnected is only a matter of free will decision. And we are only a thought away from Being connected to our Divinity!

There are two important pieces of legislation: SOPA (“Stop Online Piracy Act”), moving through Congress and its sister bill, PIPA (“PROTECT-IP Act”) in the Senate. Both these bills present the same danger of radically transforming the free flow of information on the internet.

Under SOPA and/or PIPA:

• Site owners will become liable for everything posted by its users, and could face jail time, heavy fines and DNS blacklisting if its users post copyright infringing content.
• Sites with user generated content including services such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter will be forced to monitor and censor everything uploaded by their users.
• Due process of law would be denied from site owners by initiating DNS blacklisting based solely on the good faith assertion of an individual copyright holder.
• The U.S. government would have the power to censor sites in a similar way to The Great Firewall of China.

For more information on why these bills are bad, see “What’s Wrong With SOPA?”, a one-page PDF rundown of SOPA from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and see this video for an explanation of the problems presented by PIPA. Google also has a page of information urging action, and Wikipedia has an information page.

Q: What can I do?

A: Call your representative and share your resistance to SOPA and PIPA

• Fight censorship – includes Voice-Over-IP to directly call your representative and share your opposition to SOPA & PROTECT-IP http://fightcensorship.info/
• Fight for the Future – features automatic email to your representative in opposition to PIPA http://www.fightforthefuture.org/pipa
• Stop American Censorship – features a Take Action Checklist with automatic emailing to congress. http://americancensorship.org/
• You may also find information on Contacting Elected Officials here: http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml

If SOPA or PIPA pass, Government and corporations would be able to block any site anywhere in the world just for one infringing link. Sites with user generated content, including messageboards, will have to manually review and approve all content or risk getting shut down. Regular users face the possibility of 5 years in jail for posting any copyrighted work. Speak to your representative today and say NO to SOPA & PROTECT-IP.

Consider letting your representatives know that PIPA and SOPA:

1. Will not effectively stop piracy.
2. Contain highly ambiguous language that is ripe for abuse.
3. Introduce regulation and enforce censorship on what should be a free and open internet.

For those who are not in the US, you can help by sharing this information on your social networks and via email and save the internet and freedom of information for all mankind.

http://www.grahamhancock.com

This is crucial for all NaturalNews readers and fans to understand: If SOPA becomes law, NaturalNews.com will be shut down. In fact, the proposed law contains a specific provision — section 105 — which allows the U.S. government to shut down websites it claims “endanger public health.”

Given that NaturalNews openly and repeatedly advocates things like natural sunlight and vitamin C — both of which the government has said are dangerous — our website could be seized by the government under SOPA. And that doesn’t even consider our public stance against routine vaccinations, processed food chemicals and dangerous prescription medications (which the government is always trying to push on the public to kill people before they live long enough to collect social security).

If passed into law, SOPA would shut down NaturalNews, InfoWars, Drudge, Lew Rockwell, Reddit and many other alternative news websites

Make no mistake about the seriousness of this issue: If SOPA (or PIPA) becomes law, it will sooner or later result in the government seizure and shutdown of virtually all alternative news websites — especially those that disagree with the criminality of the current corrupt political regime in Washington.

Imagine an internet without NaturalNews.com. Imagine the liberty movement without InfoWars.com. Imagine the entire world wide web being “sanitized” by the government to remove any websites that do not agree with the government’s official position on finance, the war on drugs, the war on terrorism, pharmaceuticals and vaccines. That’s what we’re facing if SOPA becomes law: A virtual wipeout of all truth across the internet, leaving only the lies of “official” government information… the Ministry of Truth, in other words.

The Internet is the vehicle for restoring freedom and crushing tyranny

Why is the U.S. government working so feverishly to crush independent, truthful information on the internet? Because the globalist controllers realize that the internet is the last bastion of freedom in a world run by global elite corporatists.

While the global elite own and run the mainstream (corporate whore) media, and they own Congress, and they own all the influential non-profits such as the wholly corrupt American Cancer Society, they do not yet control the internet! This freaks them out, especially when they see so much truth being produced by liberty-loving individuals who are exposing the neocons, the socialists, and the criminal-minded thugs who run Wall Street and the White House.

They are desperate to crush internet freedom and SOPA is the tool they hope to use to accomplish that. This is why your opposition to SOPA is absolutely crucial. It’s also why internet giants such as Wikipedia and Reddit have joined in this one-day protest against the tyranny of SOPA and what is fast becoming a government-sponsored “information terrorism” campaign against free speech.

Take action NOW – or you will lose internet free speech forever

This is an absolute must: Take action today to voice your opposition to SOPA. Here’s how you can do that:

Click this link to email your Representative:
http://house.gov/htbin/findrep
(Use the little envelope icon that appears to the right of the picture to send them an email.)

And click here to email your U.S. Senator:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
(Use the “web form” link.)

Send your representatives and Senator a short message that covers the following fundamental points:

* You oppose SOPA.
* You will not support or vote for any candidate that supports SOPA.
* Urge them to vote against SOPA.

You can also call the capitol switchboard at: (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected with your representatives.

Obama may sign SOPA even if he says he opposes it

It is crucial that you take action now, because even though SOPA has been “shelved” and Obama has withdrawn his support for it, remember that Obama also promised he would veto the NDAA, yet he quietly and sneakily signed that on New Year’s Eve, stripping Americans of their due process rights (http://www.naturalnews.com/034537_NDAA_Bill_of_Rights_Obama.html).

Just because Obama says he opposes something doesn’t mean he won’t sign it! And believe me, the tactics of all these evil minions in Washington is to operate in darkness, meaning they will delay SOPA when people are paying attention but then, a few months later, after public awareness has waned, they will insidiously attach it to some spending bill and quietly make it law. One day you will wake up and all your favorite websites will simply be GONE. Remember, the government has already shut down 84,000 websites with no due process (http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-government-shuts-down-84000-websites-by-mista…).

That’s why you need to voice your opposition to SOPA right now and take a stand for internet Free Speech.

If you don’t, you may very well wake up one day and find NaturalNews.com shut down, InfoWars.com removed from the ‘net, and then your only remaining news options will be CNN, Fox, MSNBC and all the other sources of complete mind-controlled drivel that the corporate “sellout” establishment wants to drill into your head.

Finally, share this article on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. Spread the word about SOPA. Encourage others to take action. Remember: The internet is the last bastion of freedom in our modern world. If we lose the internet, the corrupt criminals and tyrants who run Wall Street and Washington D.C. will have total, unrelenting control over all information, and your freedom will be suffocated under a police state agenda of total disinformation.

Spread the word. Take action. Protect freedom! Protect the People against government censorship!

SOPA was introduced as a bill that allows law enforcement to stop and prevent the sharing and selling of copyrighted property such as movies, games, and music. Basically, the entertainment industries want to protect their products by stopping websites that allow you to stream or download movies and music for free. Piracy has become the bane of the entertainment industries; the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) claims that “$58 billion is lost to the U.S. economy annually due to content theft, including more than 373,000 lost American jobs,” but these numbers are widely contested. Stopping piracy? Sounds like this bill is a good idea! No, it’s not. The proponents of SOPA rely on a Machiavellian point of view: the end justifies whatever means. However, in this case, the means absolutely do not justify the end.

SOPA works like this: in order to stop you from downloading or streaming music and movies, the U.S. Justice Department is allowed to serve court orders on websites that “engage in, enable, or facilitate” infringement on copyrighted content. Any company that believes its copyright is being infringed upon can accuse a website of copyright infringement and can easily allow that website’s domain, or address, to be blocked. This bill could allow a site like the Huffington Post to be blocked indefinitely if even one of the thousands of articles on the site includes something that would be considered a copyright infringement. Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, and sites like these would be affected the most. Numerous search results in Google would be blocked by SOPA-related court orders. YouTube, the home of hundreds of thousands of videos made using copyrighted music, video, and images, would be engulfed into oblivion by SOPA claims. You posted a copyrighted picture on Facebook? Theoretically, all of Facebook could be shut down because of it.

The bill itself even reflects the inability of Congress and the entertainment industry to grasp a correct understanding of the Internet. The bill allows for the blocking of a domain name but not the numeric IP address. Users can still access the blocked website if they know this IP address. This completely contradicts what the bill stands for — it blocks websites most popular to Internet amateurs like Facebook and YouTube, while tech-savvy users can easily search the IP address of their favorite illegal movie streaming website and access it. What we get as a result, is the censorship of the Internet similar to that of China, Iran, and Syria.

The online community has responded to SOPA with all-out ferocity. Go Daddy, the largest website hosting company, initially advocated SOPA; however, after a boycott of Go Daddy that originated from the users of Reddit and resulted in thousands of websites such as Wikipedia to switch their hosting from Go Daddy, Go Daddy soon recanted from their positions on SOPA and proceeded to oppose SOPA. The opponents of the bill, notably Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Twitter, eBay, and AOL, have even considered a coordinated “Internet blackout” where all their websites are to be shut down in protest for a day.

The giants of Silicon Valley have taken arms, but blocking them are the three big proponents of SOPA: the Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Joining the big three are Viacom, Nike, and numerous other companies who feverishly oppose online piracy. The entertainment industry has spent nearly 50 percent more money on lobbying Congress than the tech industry just in the past two years. In fact, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), the man who introduced the bill into Congress, received $59,300 this year from the entertainment industry alone.

How could a bill that so blatantly threatens our freedom of speech and brazenly fail at its purpose enter Congress? On November 16, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on SOPA that ended abruptly; each lobbyist of the MPAA was told to sit down and shut up as they had no obvious knowledge of the workings of the Internet and SOPA’s impact on the Internet. December 15 marked the day for any amendments for the bill to be considered. In total, more than 20 amendments were submitted and all were systematically rejected by the House Judiciary Committee, many within the committee are lobbied furiously by the entertainment industry. The current winter recess of Congress has put all SOPA talks to a halt.

In the end, everything in this situation is based around the money and the profits. In order to prevent piracy, the entertainment industries are willing to take away your First Amendment rights just to increase their millions in profits by a tiny fraction. The entertainment industries are forgetting that sites like Facebook and YouTube are powerful means of advertising their products, and by attacking these sites they are only hurting themselves.

I remember the days when Congress took our First Amendment seriously. How did we get this close to oppression? I thought America was founded on principles of free speech; with this bill, our country stands for nothing. The only way to fight future oppression is with the spread of knowledge. Unfortunately, most of the mainstream news networks are owned by SOPA supporters, thus we see little on SOPA being reported on CNN or voraciously debated on Fox News. Rep. Lamar Smith has said that SOPA supporters are “Not legitimate or large in number;” let’s prove him wrong. Tell everyone you know about this bill and what it will do if passed. We may not have the lobbying power of the entertainment industry, but we do have a voice.

From an astrological perspective, the Internet is ruled by the planet Uranus, the giver of technology and innovation.  Uranus entered the sign of Aries last year, bringing the energy of aggressive force and self-orientation (Aries) into Uranian realms and intensifying the natural rebellious tendencies of Uranus.

Pluto is the planet of death, power and transformation, and it governs experiences that take us to the limit of endurance and then push us a little further.  In 2008 Pluto entered Capricorn,  the sign of social and economic structures.  Pluto seeks to consolidate power, while at the same time breaking down existing structures that are weak or corrupt so that they can be rebuilt, and the mission Pluto in Capricorn is clear: force the rebuilding of the very fabric of society.

Over the next few years  the revolutionary fervor that we have seen over the past year with Uranus in Aries will continue as Uranus and Pluto face off in a challenging square (90 degree) aspect.  As the power structure (Pluto) finds it more difficult to control the freedom (Uranus) of the masses it will seek more egregious measures to do so (Pluto) , which will be followed by more resistance and rebellion (Uranus).

You’ll notice during this period that the power brokers appear to work from both sides, such as in the case of Rupert Murdoch who is one of the more vocal supporters of internet censorship through SOPA in the US while simultaneously fighting for freedom of speech in the UK wiretapping scandal.

The Internet began its existence as a wild and untamed forum for free expression, but power brokers have long sought to harness and control it for financial gain.  This dynamic is perfectly symbolized by Uranus in Aries (individual freedom) vs. Pluto in Capricorn (business and power).  I suspect that this issue, in a variety of forms, will be one of the major factors in the Uranus/Pluto square over the next few years.

For one of the most cogent articles about SOPA, see this article on the Huffington Post by 16-year old Aaron Wang in which he clarifies:

The bill itself even reflects the inability of Congress and the entertainment industry to grasp a correct understanding of the Internet. The bill allows for the blocking of a domain name but not the numeric IP address. Users can still access the blocked website if they know this IP address. This completely contradicts what the bill stands for — it blocks websites most popular to Internet amateurs like Facebook and YouTube, while tech-savvy users can easily search the IP address of their favorite illegal movie streaming website and access it. What we get as a result, is the censorship of the Internet similar to that of China, Iran, and Syria.

Over the next few years it will no longer be possible to remain complacent.  Just as in the 1960s when Uranus and Pluto conjoined and social upheaval and transformation was inevitable, each of us must determine which principles are important to us, and be prepared to fight for them.

Annual Overview for 2012
2012 begins with Mars on an extended tour of Virgo. The transit began mid November and will complete by July 3. Mars is usually a quick transit, averaging 6 – 8 weeks through a sign. Due to its retrograde cycle, Jan 23 to April 4, Mars will spend almost 8 months on its current target practice. While lack of jobs remains critical to each nation’s economic wellbeing, Mars will keep each one of us hard at work on our own fix-it programs. With great precision, Mars in Virgo will target the weak, vulnerable, or damaged. The transit serves to uncover what’s lacking, what’s flawed, what isn’t working. In so doing, we’ll get to the core of what needs to be corrected, fixed and healed.

When Mars tours Virgo, the common complaint from the receiving end is often one of “too little, too late”. This or other growing dissatisfactions will set the groundwork for the Mars retrograde, pull-back-and-shift-target cycle. From the end of January through the beginning of April, circumstances shift, we shift. Mars retrograde serves to redirect attention and to refortify ambition. Rather than focus on the external objectives or goal posts, we transfer attention back to self and to personal reconciliation. By creating an added degree of separation or disengagement, Mars retrograde sharpens objectivity and perspective. Mars in retrograde is an internal “heating” influence; a specific momentum builds more steam. Although it may not be in your range of vision, know it is firing up all the same.

Through the middle of January, Mars is well aligned (in trine) with the sun. Pay close attention to events and impressions. What you undertake or become conscious of during this time can be useful and productive. It paves a pathway to improvement and healing.

February 3, Neptune advances into Pisces, its home sign. This is a rare occurrence, in fact, it only happens once every 165 years. From April through August 2011, Neptune dipped a toe into Pisces. During this entire cycle, Kaddafi was invisible. On the other hand, hiding Osama bin Laden, living in seclusion in the middle of an urban center, was found. In gridlock the whole time, just two days prior to Neptune backing out of Pisces, Obama and Congress past legislation that would allow the debt ceiling to be raised. On the day Neptune actually backed out of Pisces the USA lost its triple A credit rating.

Neptune in Pisces will encompass the entirety of Pluto’s transit through Capricorn. It is an iconic time to be alive and an iconic chapter in our planet’s evolution. Through 2026, Neptune in Pisces will continue to raise the collective consciousness and to co-navigate the search for collective redemption.

The Piscean archetype has already been activated by the 2003 to 2011 transit of Uranus in Pisces. Neptune is a much subtler influence that zap planet Uranus, but its influence is equally profound and life-altering. Pisces unlocks the latent potentials, stirs the primordial waters of creation, dissolves separateness consciousness, and awakens us to our ultimate purpose. Many of us will find our true calling, many of us can find our ultimate other, whether they show up as a lover or that cherished special one (a dear friend, child, parent, healer, etc.). It also serves to expand our relationship to the divine other.

Neptune in Pisces is a transcendent influence. It dissolves boundaries and prompts us to reach beyond time and space constraints. The Pisces archetype also correlates to our ultimate ideals and inspirations, our imaginings and envisioning. In the coming years, iconic figures will pen momentous chapters of history.

On the flipside, the Pisces archetype correlates to illusion, disillusionment, disintegration, and loss. It is this mass consciousness that is growing all too common now. The recent concentration in shockwave Aquarius has been awakening. The switch to Pisces increases unification, but it isn’t always a beautiful tale. Over the coming years, we will learn that we are all in it together, that there is no escape from the collective reality we have brought upon ourselves. Intensifying the Piscean experience, Chiron, the wounded healer/teacher, also travels through the sign of the fish (through 2019). Chiron in Pisces suggests the greatest collective teaching may occur through the massive loss of our most precious resource – that of the waters of life – in other words, that which sustains us figuratively (i.e. hope, trust, faith) – and literally. We can no longer afford to compromise our water, food, air, and shelter.
Shortly after Mars completes retrograde, Venus in Gemini does the same. Venus in retrograde, May 15 to June 27 advances relationships and financial matters to a critical and/or fated peak. Consider Mars retrograde as a fore-runner or set-up phase for Venus retrograde. Together, they accelerate our personal, relationship, and social evolution.

Jupiter leaves Taurus to join Venus in Gemini on 11. Jupiter, planet of expansion, increase, and inflation, is sure to put even more on the move and into circulation. This added concentration in Gemini puts the spotlight on growing social, cultural, political and economic trends, on the dualities, the stories, on newsmakers, neighbours, agents, friends, and siblings.

Last year we had 6 eclipses, this year we will have 4. The dates for the solar eclipses are: May 20, Nov 13; the lunar eclipses occur on June 4, and Nov 28. The lunar eclipse on June 4 is a super moon, an astrological high tide. It is even more potent and noteworthy due to the fact that Venus will form a very rare alignment with the sun and earth on June 5 or 6, depending on your time zone. An occultation is a transit similar to an eclipse, but from our view, Venus is too small to block the sun entirely. An eclipse is usually a few minutes in duration, the Venus occultation will occur over a six hour period. The start and end of June mark the first of two critical peak periods of the year. That which comes into being around this time sets the cornerstone for our new reality for the long term. Venus in Gemini suggests we’ll see key communication links, agreements, and party lines forged. Important papers and policies can be inked around this time. It speaks to the standardizing of regulations for the auto and food industries, and the sharing of border information between Canada and the USA.

Watch for important news, announcements, or trends, and for key people, projects, or products to get on the move. It is possible that the contentious oil pipeline issue will make some news around this time. The media, TV, or broadcasting world can make headlines themselves. Gemini also correlates to transportation, commerce, currencies, trading, neighbours, siblings, education, research, etc. Medical advances to do with stem cell research, artificial organs and so on, are also among the range of possibilities. The Venus occultation occurs in the sign of Gemini; watch for double, twin, duplicate, multiple, compounding, parallel, or repetition to occur. When Venus is retrograde, it creates a stronger magnetic draw. If it is karmically destined for you, it will come into being.

The most formidable and history shaping of all planetary alignments, 2012 delivers the first of the hard angle alignments between Uranus and Pluto. There will be seven alignments between 2012 and 2015. The two dates for 2012 are June 24 and Sept 19. Note that and Saturn completes retrograde on June 25 and Venus completes retrograde on June 27. This combination constitutes a major energy surge. A lot can happen at the end of June.
The shake, rattle, and roll Uranus/Pluto influence has been building throughout 2011. We have seen this in the spontaneous combustion of rebellion and uprisings on the planet, through the extreme weather, mass displacements of people, shattering of common lives, and the world economic volatility too. Uranus in dynamic aspect to Pluto serves to accelerate radical change. Their eventfulness can be sudden and instant. Their aftermath will extend well beyond 2016. Uranus square Pluto can spark major shockwaves, sudden upheaval, chaos, rebellion, and destruction, but they also force into being great ingenuity, risk taking, pioneering, and amazing acts of courage. Complacency is shattered, but in its wake comes liberation and amazing new opportunity.

As of the end of August, the karmic (nodal) axis switches from Gemini/Sagittarius (the moving target; everything all at once) to the Taurus/Scorpio survival axis. As of this point, we should start to gain a better fix on things. Noting that one of Scorpio’s correlations is oil, we are sure to see major developments for this industry, not only for the Canada/USA pipeline deal, but also in other areas of the world. Africa is a new frontier in this regard. This Taurus/Scorpio axis keeps economic survival and political agendas on the front burner.

Oct 5, Saturn leaves Libra, to begin a two year trek through Scorpio. When Saturn tenants Scorpio, the squeeze gets a lot more serious. Necessity dictates that we get a lot more ambitious. When push comes to shove, Saturn in Scorpio can accomplish great feats. This planetary placement is one of hidden power plays, corrupt motives, self-serving agendas, manipulation of the system, and control at all costs. It is also one of exposing and putting an end to corruption and the subversive element where-ever it exists. While those in positions of power and influence can manipulate and cheat, they can’t do it for long. Still, it’s always darkest in the middle of the tunnel, and that’s exactly where the Saturn in Scorpio years will position our collective reality. On the positive, Saturn in Scorpio offers the opportunity to harness great power, to resource from the past in an empowering way, to regenerate and rebuild, and to crystallize substantial transformation. This is exactly what we need in order to create the new day’s dawn, our new reality base.

Mercury retrograde begins Nov 6, the day of the US presidential election. Obama was inaugurated during Mercury retrograde too. His karmic public service is not yet fulfilled. Expect his re-election.
The solar eclipse on Nov 13 is a super moon in Scorpio, sign of rebirth, transformation, agendas, and power-plays. The lunar eclipse on Nov 28 re-energizes Venus from the end of June. Accompanying the lunar eclipse, Mars conjoining Pluto in Capricorn set us onto a new evolutionary program. These eclipses constitute the second major peak of the year.

ARIES (March 21- April 19)
Mars in Virgo calls you to task and keeps you striving harder through the first half of the year. This is a productive placement for Virgo, so long as you align with the program rather than fight it. Aim to refine your skills, methods and coping skills. Concentrate on improving your diet and health regimes too. If you have loose ends to attend to, don’t procrastinate. By the time Venus (April 3) and Jupiter enter Gemini (June 11) you’ll be primed for something new to open up.

A sibling, friend, neighbour, agent, colleague, or rival can be a key catalyst in the year ahead. Venus retrograde, mid May through the end of June, takes you to a critical karmic threshold. You are offered an opportunity to tie up loose ends, to step forward your unfinished business, and/or to harvest that which you have accumulated over many lifetimes. As you grow, you will discover more resources than you knew existed inside of you. Person, place, or thing, more than one new avenue can open for you. When destiny strikes you’ll feel a strong sense of déjà vu.

You’ll feel Uranus square Pluto the strongest if you are born March 25 to 30, but of course we’ll all feel the catapulting effects of this rare alignment.

Saturn in Libra has been maturing you in a multitude of ways. It has brought you to this present stage of relationship ripening. The face you show to the world has been chiselled into the map it now is. As of October, you will move into the next phase of your evolution. You will learn to forge a more intimate relationship with your conscious self, your closest relationships, your intimate needs and experiences. In fact, you present self will forge a more intimate relationship with your own soul. Saturn in Scorpio also puts the spotlight on financial matters (inheritances, debt, taxes, joint resources, consolidation, down sizing, etc.)

TAURUS (April 20 -May 20)
2012 continues your accelerated growth curve, thanks largely to the transits of Jupiter in Taurus to June 11, and Mars in Virgo, to July 3. Your energy and enthusiasm is your winning ticket. Put it to work and watch how far it gets you.  This first half of the year directs your attention to improving yourself physical and material status.

You’ll feel the strong hand of fate pulling the strings as Venus tours retrograde, mid May through end of June. Venus in aspect to the sun at the beginning of June brings you to a significant opportunity, harvest and fruition threshold. Venus and sun ignite a rich and fertile manifesting cycle. It is a highlight time of self-discovery, creativity, self mastery, and of coming into your own. What you resource or tap from within can prove to be your golden ticket. You could discover a special talent or knack, become a protégé or chosen one. If a new love or a pregnancy occurs, the bond/the karma/the one is special. If you reach this point and as good as it gets isn’t good enough, well, that’s an answer too.

Saturn’s advance into Scorpio in October brings circumstances and relationships to a maturation point. You’ll either feel you have successfully achieved what you have aimed for, and can work to further solidify and grow, or necessity will dictate that you start over again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
Restless for something new? Mars in Virgo suggests you can feel you are outgrowing your life circumstances. Home, family, health, and security needs can keep you juggling. A new business, training program, or self-employment can take it out of you too, but you know upfront effort is necessary. You seem quite ready for it. In this first half of the year, Mars and Jupiter are seeding and stage setting. Either you are building to a launch point when you can take what’s been developing to the next level, or you are building to a release point when its time to let go and move in an altogether new direction. You should readily know the difference. Mars in retrograde, Jan 23 through April 13 is heating up influence. You should feel reinvigorated and ready to launch as early as April 3, when Venus moves into Gemini. You’ll spread your wings even further by the start of June, thanks to the lunar eclipse (June 4), Venus eclipsing (occulting) the sun and Jupiter entrance into Gemini (June 11). The first ten days of June delivers an actual or karmic contract peak. This time will be significantly shaping for the long haul. Expect to take a major step forward.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Whether you study in the school of life or sign up for formal training, Mars in Virgo aims to sharp your deductive reasoning through the beginning of July.  Mars in Virgo can necessitate a change of plans, or upgrades to transportation, marketing, communications, or schedules. Too, problematic relationships will need to be addressed. If you aren’t getting enough help or you aren’t satisfied with the advice or offerings, explore alternate options. A new agent, advisor, counsellor, or career focus could be the ticket. Those born June 25 to 30 will feel the catapulting effects of Uranus square Pluto the strongest, but of course we’ll all feel it at some level. Career wise, personally, relationship wise, Uranus/Pluto require that you rise to the challenge of completely restructuring your life. Let the past go and allow the evolving new course to set its own watermark. In other words, take dictation from moment. Don’t try to control what is naturally developing, align with it instead.

Neptune’s advance into Pisces in February and Saturn’s advance into Scorpio in October help to create a smoother sail. Along with the Venus retrograde cycle earlier in the year (May to July), they can help you to unlock vocational, creative, or romantic potentials that have so far eluded you. Saturn can bring some of you to a pinnacle of achievement and professional recognition, perhaps even significant notoriety. Marriage or a new family can be in the works for some. Neptune and Saturn are also of great support to those pursuing a spiritual calling.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
It seems you have a lot of working it out to do. Mars in Virgo will concentrate your attention on your climbing-up-and-out mandate through the beginning of July. It will be especially so during the Mars retrograde cycle (Jan 23 to April 13). Financial improvement is one of the chief areas of concern. Belt tightening is a good place to start. You can help yourself along by cutting back on wasteful spending. A little here and there, it adds up to more than you realize. Pay closer attention and you’ll see how much you fritter away without notice. Body, mind, and/or soul, health is another major area to upgrade. Turn off the mindless TV watching, sign up at the gym, and do yourself the good you know you deserve. By the middle of March, you should have a good handle on what works and what is most worthy of your time, heart, and money. This is a productive and solidifying time, when career, work, finances, and health matters can come together in some substantial way.

Both Mars retrograde and Venus retrograde can be separation, single out or pull back influences.  Mid May through the end of June can redirect your involvements or change your lifestyle in some significant way. You can feel the need to withdrawal from specific people, groups or communities, or you’ll feel the strong arm of fate pull you in. It can be a time to franchise, to transfer to a satellite office, to change your marketing strategy or product offerings, to switch gears altogether. A legal matter (personal or professional) can peak at this time too. Jupiter’s one year tour of Gemini, starting June 11 increases your social life and your social awareness. New interests grow more significant. You’ll move from the staging or biding time phase into the take-flight chapter.

Launching Oct 5, Saturn’s 2 ½ year tour of Scorpio can restructure your career, your ambitions, and your life’s priorities in some significant, even profound way.  You could step into a more influential role, become a mentor, authority figure, parent (or parent to a parent), or accredited professional, or you could put an official end to a career, personal, professional, or relationship status.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
January keeps you motoring through one thing after another at a steady clip. Mars in Virgo keeps your physical energy high and your libido too.Don’t take chances on your health. Do everything you can to keep body, mind and soul in good running order. Don’t mess with drugs, alcohol, or toxic substances, people included! Things can come back to bite you, and you will not like the sting.

On the other hand, apply yourself and watch how far you can get. Your courage, creativity and initiative can meet with great reward, especially while Jupiter tenants Taurus (through the start of June). Mars in Virgo can signal your “break out” time. Mars retrograde (Jan 23 to April 13) puts you through a refining and staging cycle. You could pull back a little during this time, but once the retrograde is over, you are like a race horse out the gate. Of course, the cycle itself can be very productive. Even though Mercury is retrograde, the middle of March can be quite lucrative; things could fall into place quite beautifully, perhaps surprisingly so. It is a key staging time for what comes next.

April through July will redirect the course of your life in some significant way. Venus retrograde can see you through a career or relationship status change. Consider returning to school, diversifying your portfolio, your client base, or your product offerings, move into a different line of work, job share, or relocate for better opportunity. Write your memoires or rewrite your life. Team up, sign up. Adopt a child, an extended family, a community, or a new approach to money, life, and love.

Neptune in Pisces, beginning in February, and Saturn in Scorpio, starting in October, will help you to resource relationships and to express yourself in a more open and empowered way.

LIBRA (Sept 22-Oct 22)
You have more going on, and more going for you than readily meets the eye. Mars in Virgo keeps plenty on brew through the beginning of July. For some, this Mars influence can produce free floating anxiety that can be hard to pin down. For others, it can be a hermit or healing cycle. For all Libra, it is one of study, personal reflection, and of building up one’s stamina and self confidence. If you can’t find it naturally, you’ll have to manufacture it. How you say? Through the active practice of trial and error; experience is always the best teacher. Trust more and you will get there. In fact, by the middle of March you are likely to make a significant breakthrough for yourself.

It can be a whole other ball game once Venus (starting April 3) and Jupiter (starting June 11) move into Gemini. Both these planetary influences can set you free and/or open up your consciousness or your life in ways you may not have imagined previously. April through August is the active highpoint of your year. Relocate, publish, broadcast, perform, study, teach, increase your public profile, connect with the world, jump on a bandwagon, try your luck, say I do or bust loose.

Uranus square Pluto is radically transforming for those of you born Sept 28 to Oct 3, but of course major lifestyle and career changes are afoot for all of us. June 24 and Sept 19 can signify major pressure and sudden release threshold points, but the influence of this dynamic aspect is activated all year.

By the time Saturn exits Libra and enters Scorpio on Oct 5, you will have completed a critical qualifying step in your ongoing evolution. Saturn in transforming Scorpio takes you into much deeper waters. You’ll naturally become more committed to your material, emotional, and spiritual aspirations. Saturn in Scorpio can secure an intimate relationship, or it can end one. When push comes to shove, you will find you become much more resourceful, even shrewd. Saturn in Scorpio takes you through a definitive mapping it out cycle. When it comes to your personal empowerment, and a life worth living, it is got to be all of you and all the way.

SCORPIO (Oct 23~Nov 22)
Didn’t expect to be here now, or to see things turn out the way they have? Has your life taken an unexpected turn or detour? Sidelined, broadsided or simply striving, you have plenty of adjusting to do yet. Through July, Mars in Virgo will continue to busy you with a major life style change. And if it hasn’t happened yet, it will soon enough. Mars in retrograde, Jan 23 to April 13, can reconnect you in some significant way. It can also signal a cut-out or cut-off time.

Uranus in Aries square Pluto can introduce you to plenty of new avenues, resources, ideas, potentials, etc. It can radically transform the nature of your work and/or your everyday activities and habits. This influence will be operative for a few years to come, so you’ll have plenty of time to try something new on for size. Uranus in Aries is an appropriate influence for self employment, for getting off the grid or other independence initiatives. Too, Uranus can bring new and unexpected challenges. If it nags you, don’t put it off. Prioritize health, safety, and safeguards.

The advances of Venus, starting April 3, and Jupiter, starting June 11, into Gemini, put the added spotlight on finances, legal matters, paperwork, on teaming up, pooling or dividing resources or liabilities. There’s important negotiating, revisiting or sorting out to do while Venus tours retrograde, mid May through the end of June. By mid to late August, you’ll start to feel you can take back the reigns, that you feel more sure footed or in control. By October 3, Saturn in Scorpio will walk you over a major threshold and into a new life chapter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22~Dec21)
Mars in Virgo finds you doing target practice on the ceilings or barriers that have prevented you from getting to where you want to and need to be. You know you can create more security and self consistency. You know you can improve upon your material and emotional baselines. You know you have a lot more to accomplish.

Mars in Virgo also makes you aware of the difficulties out there in the world that are diminishing your better options. It makes you aware of how much you are aging, how little time is left, and how much of it has been wasted so far. When you add all this together, it can seem as though ambition is climbing in through the back door, but that is of no matter. What is important, even critical, is that you continue to stay fired up to get a move on, to plug those holes, to fill those gaps, and to get somewhere better than you are.

Mars in retrograde, Jan 23 to April 13, requires that you redirect the attention to inner rather than outer productivity. It’s a good time for reassessment and study, for re-organization, creative undertakings, and for renegotiating contracts or responsibilities. Career wise and in personal life dealings too, it is time to stand apart from the crowd, and to create more distinction for yourself. Along with Venus retrograde, May 15 to June 27, it is time to address a specific issue or relationship. It can be time to back off with hands on parenting and to allow another to find their own way, skinned knees and all. Both retrograde cycles revisit critical karmic crossroads.

The lunar eclipse and Venus occultation mark the beginning of June as a leap moment for relationships, finances and legal matters. Your social life or public profile can move, perhaps even explode, into a new direction too. The eclipse and occultation are particularly igniting for those born Dec 5 to 7. Those born near the end of November may experience a delayed reaction time; watch the eclipse catalyst on November 28 to reference back to this June timeframe. Whether it shows up as a compelling call to action or an inner yearning, all Sagittarians will feel a sense of being summoned by the stronger winds of fate.

Ready or not, Uranus square Pluto spurs you to your personal liberation. When the iron strikes hot, you could surprise even yourself. There’s no road map for this one. The new pathway is uniquely yours to create. Progressively, you will express and create with great dynamism. Can you hear that Star-trek line playing in the back of your head? “To boldly go..” While Uranus tenants Aries (to 2019), it’s a good motto to adopt.

Saturn’s advance into Scorpio beginning in October signals a refortifying-from-within chapter. Whether you are conscious of the bigger picture or not, you’ll eventually come to deepen your commitment to the evolutionary program your soul has already chosen for you.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22~JAN 19)
Through the beginning of July, discriminating Mars in Virgo will help you to get clearer about the direction forward and what works best for you. This influence gives you better access into your own psychology. It helps you to address your fears and insecurities, and it helps you to put intention into action too.

Mars in retrograde, Jan 23 to April 13, is a time to retrace steps, revisit places, plans, projects or agreements. Signalizing a preparatory, editing, or finalization phase, it is also a time to get into specifics and to clear away the loose ends.

Venus retrograde, May 15 to June 27, can see you revisit a work, health, communication, equipment, or transportation issue. You can run into added complexity with paperwork or permits too. Noting Venus retrograde occurs soon after taxes are due, make sure to do your proper due diligence when compiling data. The first week or so of June is a time to stay especially alert, especially when travelling, planning, or connecting. The lunar eclipse and Venus occultation can ignite something completely unexpected.

Uranus square Pluto is especially revolutionizing for those of you born Dec 26 to 30. This influence speeds you along your personal and private life reinvention. It sets circumstances into play and loans you the courage you need to break free of the old you and the old life.
Saturn’s advance into Scorpio, beginning Oct 3, empowers you to take the next important step in your ongoing evolution.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20~Feb 18)
Neptune has travelled through Aquarius since 1998. On Feb 3, Neptune will advance into Pisces, to remain until 2026. In the coming years, you will unlock even more of the treasure trove that you brought with you when you entered this life and you’ll make more use of the resources, talents, and capacities you have already discovered. This Neptune placement can help you to find your true calling and perhaps even your true love too. It is a subtle influence and it grows over time.

Through July, Mars in Virgo calls you to task to correct relationship or financial shortfalls. This Mars placement can also suggest a need for surgery or specialized medical treatment. It’s always good to take care of things sooner rather than later, but try to avoid Mercury retrograde if you need to schedule a procedure, unless of course it’s a repeat or something minor, in which case, feel free to schedule what works for you best. Interest rates will continue low, so you need to borrow (for new wheels perhaps?), go right ahead.

Venus in Gemini (April 3 to Aug 7) and Jupiter in Gemini (June 11 through June 2012) bring opportunity and increase where you’ll appreciate it the most. Venus retrograde, May 15 to June 27, is a very potent, karmically destined time for creative expression, career, social involvement, love and children (having them, raising them, letting them go.) Thanks to the lunar eclipse and Venus occultation, you can see catapulting circumstances and/or feel a sense of a new portal opening as of the beginning June.

The beginning and middle of June, and the end of July can be a time to sign a contract, to say I do, to relocate, or to commit to a new plan for yourself and your life. This can be a significant time of career or scholastic accomplishment; of taking a stand, spreading your wings, or making your presence known in some official way. It’s also a good time for market exploration, publishing, performing, exhibiting, consulting, mentoring, apprenticeship, agenting, media involvement, etc.

Uranus in Aries helps you to see the world around you in a new way. It introduces you to new ideas, people and helps you to make important new inroads. Uranus sharpens your intuition, your reaction time and makes you quicker on the ball. Uranus square Pluto places you on the cutting edge of trends; in fact, it can catapult you to the forefront.

Saturn in Scorpio, beginning Oct 3 can radically transform the structure of your life. If you have thought of making a career change, start training for it now.

PISCES (Feb 19~March 20)
Through July, Mars in Virgo will keep the focus on others, their needs, weakness, health, etc. Too, it will put an added spotlight on the dissatisfactions and shortfalls of relationships. This Mars placement can put you on a continuous search for more viable prospects, clients, or reward; for better advice, better support, and for more money too. Mars in retrograde, Jan 23 to April 13 can temporarily redirect your attention onto a specific project or an alternate concern. It may give you the chance to pull back a little more.

Venus and Jupiter in Gemini (April 3, June 11) turn home into a hub of activity, with more than the usual comings and goings. Jupiter could put you on the hunt for a new residence, or see you welcome a new household member. Anything you do to enhance property value, to add comfort, or to beautify surroundings is money well spent. Rental income or investment in a home based business is a good idea too. Venus and Jupiter can see family grow and thrive; they take you through a positive personal growth cycle too.

The lunar eclipse and Venus occultation mark the beginning of June as a critical turning point in the war against yourself, and the polarizations between your inner and outer needs. Things could snowball in some unexpected way. This eclipse/occult catalyst could suddenly unleash you or set you free. It could provide a moment of truth, a significant release point, or an opportunity you can’t afford to miss out on. Too, you could see a family member or partner could take a big career or personal step forward.

Neptune’s advance into Pisces, beginning Feb 3, launches your “time has come” chapter. You will feel the benefits of this influence and that of Saturn in Scorpio (starting Oct 3), the strongest if you are born Feb 18 to 22. By the end of August, and more so, October through December, you’ll find your best water mark. The stellar backdrop bodes well for financial ambitions, career and creative endeavour, and for affairs of the heart.

“Unraveling

the Obama – Mars Connection”

Saturday, January 14 2012 (1st Moon – Renewal-  22, 1)

BBSRadio.com – Station 1

2pm PST ~ 5pm EST ~ 10pm GMT

Andrew Basiago was a child participant in a DAARPA (Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency) time travel program called Project Pegasus, during which, he was involved in various time travel and advanced technology exploratoration projects. One of these projects was teleporting to Mars through a “jump room”.  He and another child participant, William B. Stillings, have confirmed that they encountered Barry Soetoro, now called Barak Obama on Mars.

Andrew and Alfred will be giving an in depth report in Rainier, Washington on Saturday, January 21, at the Awakening Center “Unraveling the Obama/Mars Connection”. Please see related article below.

PUBLIC EVENT: The Awakening Center – Rainier, WA – 1/21/2012 – “Unraveling the Obama/Mars Connection” with Andrew D. Basiago and Alfred Lambremont Webre

Andrew D. Basiago, lawyer, writer, and statesman, was one of America’s early time-space explorers and is an emerging figure in the Truth Movement.

Alfred Lambremont Webre, lawyer, cosmologist, and futurist, was the founder of Exopolitics and is one of the leading commentators of the Time-Space Age.

On January 21st, Andy and Alfred will appear together at the Awakening Center in Rainier, Washington to unravel the Obama/Mars connection.

In this seven-hour presentation, they will explore the deep politics of President Barack Obama’s background, including his involvement in the CIA’s Mars visitation program of the 1980’s, which Andy contends Obama served in with him, William B. Stillings, Regina E. Dugan, and others.

Recently, Andy appeared with William B. Stillings and Laura M. Eisenhower on talk radio’s Coast to Coast AM and described the US government’s 30-year cover-up of its “jump room” technology, as reported by Alfred while he was the Seattle Exopolitics Examiner.

The White House responded by publishing an unofficial “official” denial on the pages of Wired.com and the Examiner, in a blatant act of censorship, retaliated by dropping Alfred as an examiner.

The truth marches on, however, and Andy and Alfred continue their efforts as two of our most fearless contemporary truth tellers.

You don’t want to miss this unprecedented talk. Reserve your seat at this exciting truth event now, while tickets are still available

This is a video of Andrew Basiago’s presentation at the Free Your Mind Conference in Philadelphia, PA on April 9, 2011.

http://www.ProjectPegasus.net

http://www.FreeYourMindConference.com

People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.

This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.

When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

Do you run through each day

On
the
fly?

When you ask How are you?

Do you hear
the
reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie
in your
bed

With the next hundred chores

Running through
your head?

You’d better
slow down

Don’t dance so
fast.

Time is
short.

The music won’t
last.

Ever told your
child,

We’ll do it
tomorrow?

And in your
haste,

Not see
his

sorrow?

Ever lost
touch,

Let a good
friendship die

Cause you
never had time

To call
and say,’Hi’

You’d
better slow down.

Don’t dance
so fast.

Time
is short.

The music won’t
last..

When you run
so fast to get somewhere

You
miss half the fun of getting
there.

When you worry and hurry
through your
day,

It is like an unopened
gift….

Thrown
away.

Life is not a
race.

Do take it
slower

Hear the
music

Before the song is
over.

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital. It was sent [via email] by a medical doctor -

Someone asked “How do I find my life purpose?” Get out of your comfort zone, do something that challenges you more than ever. In these moments when we feel the weakest, we grow the MOST.I cycled over 3000kms across Australia solo through winter on only raw food,suffered frostbite & big time loneliness but FUCK I was a different person at the end.I had time to reflect on why the heck I was on this planet… because I no longer had the drone of the mainstream stifling my creativity & true self.
