Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Ron Mauer Sr]

My thank you prayer for the solstice, 21Jun2016.

I give thanks for knowing that we all are extensions of Source energy, on Prime Creator's never ending journey of Self discovery.

I give thanks for knowing that the power that creates worlds flows through us. I ask for clarity, courage and strength to use this power wisely, responsibly and with love.

I give thanks for knowing that imagination is a useful and powerful tool to change reality.

I give thanks for knowing that when we feel good, we are aligned with Source.

I support freedom, well being, joy, love, truth, clarity and empowerment for all.

So be it.

Talking of the summer solstice, this outrage:

Summer solstice at Glastonbury.

That degree of the solstice, of 'sun stand thou still'....is 0.02 degrees off one of, if not the --- most important astrological points in my birth chart.

The thunderstorms, hail, rain, lighting, wind and near tornadoes...whip around me.



And just like everybody else, I scratch my ass... while looking up and contemplating the universe.

Oh dear! So how's your mum?

Not quite getting your meaning on that one.....

Sorry, I didn't mean to be obscure.

A powerful full moon, like eclipses, or right now coninciding with a solstice, when it falls onto any sensitive point in the birth chart, will show up in two areas of life, home and mother.
Both are governed by the moon. Together with food, rest, comfort zone, and everthing else that stands opposite the sun's action, which is work, non-emotional self expression, paternal.

I experienced this first hand, when an eclipse fell on my birthday in 1982. I asked my astrology teacher what it might bring, and she said total change of home. Or news re mother.
In the end the unexpected came to pass, and very swiftly. On that birthday, during a terrible blizzard, we headed with baby and nanny to Gatwick in the UK, having spent the day loading all of our possessions onto a container.
None of this was planned properly, but circumstances gave no other choice when the shippers told us they had no other vacancy until many months later.

At the time Pluto was also square my sun, by the way. And mum was so upset that we were moving so far away that we could not calm her down.
At least not until Lufthansa opened a direct flight route to Barbados a few months later.

Like the last words in 'Guardians of the Galaxy: "A bit of both!"

I have a close relative who's moon will be conjunct the penumbral Lunar eclipse in Aquarius within seconds in August. I'm not taking any chances. I will thankfully have moved out of state by then.

I'm currently still in the forest and there is a 7500 acre fire burning about 25 miles from where I live. The weather has cooled and the winds are low for the moment. Thank goodness, but fire creates its own weather and there is a lot of fuel. A few firemen have been hurt and some outbuildings have burned in the area. Three small towns have been evacuated.
Asking for prayers.


Love

May I know the source of what,
Appears within my mind,
And only act upon that which,
My heart and soul align.

Blessings for you and lovely K.

Protective blessings and prayers for all.

The sky looks different every day, but especially today.
Opening a tiny store as soon as the Mayor signs the permits which took weeks to organize, this being Latin America.
I still cannot believe how this bureaucracy was allowed to get so totally out of hand.

[araucaria]

I think bureaucracy grew out of the need to counter those cheating the system. Many laws and regulations are passed to circumvent loopholes previously exploited for selfish ends. The minute, say, you introduce something like VAT (valued added tax) for the noble purpose of funding community investments, you will have VAT fraudsters collecting the tax for themselves. The entire system is based on mistrust, and if you are trying to implement a venture based on trust, you are going to have to run the gauntlet of bureaucracy until trust-based operation becomes the dominant mode. But to build up trust, the hard part is finding a place to start.

This is exactly true, especially in countries where law enforcement is low.

Especially if the Catholic Church is strong, and everyone follows only one law...
Which is the 11th commandment, of which there are two versions:
A) Church version: The only mortal sin is not showing up at mass on Sundays.
B) public version: Do whatever you like just don't get caught.

Sorry. That one just slipped out....(heh heh)

Husband is banished to another room, and still I can hear the screams.
The Irish commentator sounded like he was in a gay club being shot.

Sharing this letter from a Venezuelan friend who lives in Barbados.

"My heart is broken and I want the world to know. I spoke to one of my 2 brothers ln Caracas today and he said they have not eaten anything for 3 days because they have no food. Yesterday it was my other brother's turn to go and buy food, (you are allowed to go only the day you are assigned according to the number your ID card ends in) he was there from 5am to 5pm and returned home with nothing after a whole day in a line. He told me this is not just them, it's everybody in Vla. in this situation. There's no food, no medicines, no power and no water. How could Vla. have fallen so low. A country that has more oil than Dubai. But if you are from the government or military (who have been bought) you don't have these problems. I don't know how Venezuelans are going to survive, lots of people have died for lack of medicine and now they will die of hunger. it's a lot worse than we can image. The army has been told to shoot people who demonstrate because they are hungry. Please pray!"

You know, I was at the dentist earlier this week and we got into jewish humor*.

That aside.

Are there any news sources or individuals reporting about what is happening in Vla?


*= ftr, not about indiv., rather he character of the humor itself

Sure, many.
Here in Costa Rica we get Venezuela news daily.
Plus there is a huge ex-pat population with whole cities being built for those refugees...mostly classy condos.
The poor probably can't afford to leave.

Reading about it just now. I wasn't aware of that.

What started as persistent food shortages under President Hugo Chavez has turned into a food crisis under the Nicolas Maduro government, elected in 2013. A tour of Maracaibo last month showed the crisis is especially dire.

Socialist economic policies that have put the government in charge of much of the country's food production and distribution have dramatically reduced the supply of rice, pasta, milk and other basic staples.

Meanwhile, falling prices for oil, which accounts for nearly all of Venezuela's export income, mean President Maduro's government has far less money to import food.

I have been up at Boy Scout camp for two weeks now in Central Wisconsin. I am having fun this year finding four leaf clovers in the field as I am walking. I give them away to Staff, Scouts and Leaders. Some will ask me how I find them? I tell them I thank the earth and ask for one. Manifest them and they will come to you!

Hello Ulli and the Village and its lovely denizens! Long time, no see. All's well that ends well, and I ended up back in the Village to pass along my glad tidings and well wishes. It's hot and humid here and the mosquitos are greedier than politicians. I'm listening to some live Miles Davis Allstars from '58 and '59 and Coltrane's playing tenor sax in the group. It's sounding nice with the thick sweatin' air and the thunderclaps of reverberating atmosphere droning in the distance. I've had my nose to the grindstone for the past few months, focusing on family and work and play. Araucaria, I think I left off last meaning to tell you that you were right about sometimes having to stick your neck out there regardless of how others might interpret and perceive. Life is out there to be manifested and you might as well go for it, whatever it may be.

Where's that Ol' Purple Lama hanging around these days?
