Correction - 534.

(For those fortunate enough not to recognize the above "person", it's Senator Dianne Feinstein.)

Not to worry ... she maintains her right to bear arms (while taking away such from everyone else).

Sooner or later she will have a Cheney event and rectify that situation ...

Thank goodness for Yods, a new moon in Aquarius, a hard aspect to Saturn in my natal chart and a much clearer understanding of the mythical dark moon Lilith. There's a lot of credence to "know thy shadow."
Learning more about astrology, that's why I have been posting the sabian symbols. I've been looking at the charts for the new and full moons and looking the symbols up. Becoming better at reading charts now. Following through on "what does it mean?"

Gained some clarity and freedom from "their mind" this week and owning my own mind. Yes!!!
Had a moment in the laundry room, where it became so clear to me now, this is the result of their mind,
not my mind -I took it on. To clarify what I'm saying, I've been battling with something since I was 3, some of you know a
little about my herstory. It's taken me 42 years to do this. Worked at it continuously for 7 months -since last July. Really, it looks like I am talking about my-self and I am, but also about humanity.

Here is something I initially got from Jordan Maxwell's site (and started a thread based on) but it has since been removed.

Could You Have Passed
The 8th Grade in 1895?

Probably Not...Take a Look:

This is the 1895 eighth-grade final exam from Salina, Kansas. It was taken from the original document on file at the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society and Library in Salina, Kansas and reprinted by the Salina Journal.

SOURCE:

The following document was transcribed from the original document in the collection of the Smoky Valley Genealogy Society, Salina, Kansas. This test is the original eighth-grade final exam for 1895 from Salina, Kansas. An interesting note is the fact that the county students taking this test were allowed to take the test in the 7th grade, and if they did not pass the test at that time, they were allowed to re-take it again in the 8th grade. Also of note, the school year was but 7 months, beginning October 1 and ending April 1. allowing 5 months for planting, farming and harvest.

There's something happening here...what it is is exactly clear...pure and simple.

This from current personal experience...we are in a flowing stream of creation that is now ever changing and ever growing. Our pure thoughts and wishes and actions for those in front of us are simply helping to create a whole new paradigm for us and those in our lives...everything we do now influences everything that goes on in front of us everso more than ever.

I have brought this to the forefront before...but it is getting evermore so real that I am prompted to re-express it in a new light, We are getting help creating a new world ...live it in the uttermost uppermost belief and goodness you can muster and the synchronocities of upward mobility will simply be a common occurrence of uncommon outcomes for the better of all.

Everything that has been a part of the 'chains that bind us' is literally coming apart and undone...and it takes alot to undo and unbind a chain of strength and length that has restrained us for many, many, many years,

BE what You are Prompted to Be , in the moment...You have the power and the help.

BE a Creator.
BE an Angel
BE a Provider
Be a Balancer
Be a Healer
Be a Mitigator
Be a Counselor
Be a Wizard
Be a Mystic

BE LOVE

...and experience the New Mother Earth Personally, the Provisions WILL BE Provided, just keep on keeping on in a selfless sentiment of loving action
...it is now the time for changing it all while defying all logic and sense that has been holding this Force of a Higher Love back, until right now!

I'm finishing up a cup of coffee getting ready to pack up stuff to take with me next week to Jupiter, Fl. thinking that I'll be putting up a tent next Friday when the rock will be flying by overhead just below some of the satellites that we've placed up there and wondering if some of the folks passing through looking at my stuff might be someone from here on this forum....

Congratulations, Nora.

Until you've consciously experienced 'their' mind for yourself, it's difficult to understand.

I've tried to explain it as a foggy mirror finally cleared...but I think it's more like removing veils one at a time.

After months of hard work, I had all the pieces in my hands. All it took was one moment of clarity, a quick peek behind the veil, and all the pieces fit...I could 'see'...shedding/shredding the veil both spiritually and mindfully.

Maybe it's more like removing cataracts....you don't realize how fuzzy your vision is until they are removed.

It's not something you can rationalize yourself into or simply spiritually clear...

Okay, digging a hole for myself...I'll stop while I'm ahead.


Waiting for the snow to fly...cozy in my little cottage, steaming cup of fresh ground organic coffee at hand.

'Muse' is blaring through my headphones https://youtube.com/watch?v=vwFCBf7Rqvswhile I am sitting at my desk in my new home. I just moved to a new city a week ago. My dog is gettting impatient because she wants to go out! But I am just getting warm so I don't feel like going out yet so I am stalling..

"there is nothing left for you or for me. Who will win? Free me, free me, free me from this world. I do'nt belong here, it was a mistake imprisoning my soul. Can you free me, free me from this world? A world lush and blue with rivers running wild. They'll be re-routed South, with nothng left for you or for me. Don't give in, hear the engines roar, and save our crops from drought. But when the black gold's in doubt, there's none left for you or for me"

At the 1:56 mark the dark water emerging looked like a huge frozen Blue Whale...even with an eye.
But after seeing the scale of the whole thing I realized that it couldn't be. That whale would have been the size of the Empire State Building....
amazing vid...Glaciers "calving"...what a term.
Just one more thought to add...that no one thinks this has to do with global warming...
glaciers have "calved" since time began.
