Here is something to cheer us all up:

An elderly Italian man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie

Mornin'.
Funny, funny. Sending off to some folks.

Apollo, the mythic deity, enters Scorpio on the 27th,

What is Apollo astrologically speaking? In Greek mythology, Phoebus Apollo is linked to the Sun, but that can't be right.

This article by astrologer Liz Greene might shed some light, araucaria.
To bring the focus to Apollo at this somber time might not be a bad idea....
http://www.astro.com/astrology/in_sungod_e.htm

Here is one paragraph

"The Muses Leaving Their Father Apollo to Go and Enlighten the World" by Gustave Moreau.

Depression, loss of the will to live, feeling dominated by inner compulsions, too great a dependency on others, identification with the collective resulting in a sense of not being real unless others are there to provide a mirror - all these experiences may result if we do not express the Sun in the horoscope. And expressing the Sun means making room in one's life for the values and needs of the Sun-sign, involving oneself actively in the sphere of life represented by its natal house, and honouring the needs of the planets which aspect it. When we are cut off from the functions symbolised by the mythic Apollo, we experience passivity, powerlessness, meaninglessness, and loss of confidence. We need others to constantly affirm who we are, and we are frightened of having any individual feeling or opinion which might isolate us from the collective around us. No single planet in the birth chart is itself whole, and the Sun too may be overemphasised at the expense of instinctual needs and at the expense of others; Apollo is not the only god. But it is perhaps more common to meet individuals who have too little, rather than too much, Sun. As astrologers we need to ask ourselves why any individual should not be able to relate to the Sun in the horoscope.

OK, I'm with you Ulli: it's the Sun, but not the rising Sun. Thank you.

Thank you Meggins.

A friend sent this to me. Thought I would share it with you here & now. Cute and adorable. Looks like a monkey-cat. Madagascar Southeastern Africa Monkey.

Soulful


Continued heartfelt Prayers to all in the Pacific North West.

snopes, the first one found to be tackling the question, says it is false. As suspected. I've never seen marking like that on any living thing and the exposed eye orbs are too large and flat to be an eye. The feet and 'hands' are not of a primate nature, they would be more canine and the like. It's a nice doll. A stuffed creation, a gremlin like doll.

The sun sign of each person is an imprint of the moment of the first breath.
This is the astonishing thing about astrology.
Entering this world, we get stamped, in a way, with a personality which then our souls are stuck with for the rest of this lifetime.
I was quite horrified when I saw the statistics of how many babies are born at the time that is convenient to the hospital staff, and not "naturally".
But in the end it doesn't matter. There really is no time better than any other,
Once the soul inside wakes up the real battles for higher consciousness begin. No longer is one at the whim of cultural influences, nor even of planetary influences. The soul only wants one thing, to implement the greater plan of Source/Creator/God.

If one also has knowledge of astrology one can then use all planetary influences the way one might use a transport system.
So I was born during the period that the sun was in Capricorn.
Before my soul was awake I only wanted status and money, and was fiercely ambitious to make a name for myself.
But later found out that those things are irrelevant in the greater scheme.
I was lucky not to remain stuck there.
Now I tell people to get unstuck and keep on moving.
First find out who they are, in their essence, then go ahead and create the world they wish to see. If they are good with people, then they will be excellent at community building, which is a really important endeavor. If they are too introvert then they can do what I do, rescue stray animals (sun in the sixth house) and plant gardens (moon in Taurus) and even make it open to the public ( moon in the tenth house)
So my Capricorn sun is still useful in its goal orientation capability, but I have integrated the other factors of my chart as well. .
I realize that to a beginner this all sounds really obscure, but most Villagrs have had quite a bit of experience with astrology, and each may glean from this whatever they can, and give another shot at the study and contemplatation of their sun and moon, by sign and house position.

We passed the three million mark while I was out.
Now at 3,000,978.

That means over a thousand people viewed the thread in the last couple of hours
and went away disappointed as there was no party.

I guess we have to postpone it for two more weeks when we have our fourth anniversary.

Unless everyone shows up at the last minute after all.

So sorry I'm late.......Congratulations Ulli !

Three million 'thank you's' to you, and all you wonderful souls!

Just been reading about the amazing Tarahumara people in Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run. The book is downloadable as a pdf.

Thanks, araucaria. This is a '2 fer 1' inspirational talk by McDougall who begins with a story of the marathoner with a heart of gold, the unlikely ultra-runner, and the hidden tribe in Mexico that runs to live.

Christopher McDougall explores the mysteries of the human desire to run. How did running help early humans survive -- and what urges from our ancient ancestors spur us on today? At TEDxPennQuarter, McDougall tells the story of the marathoner with a heart of gold, the unlikely ultra-runner, and the hidden tribe in Mexico that runs to live.

Here is the specific location where the rain is needed.

This is for Gripreaper, I am so sorry for what is happening in a very beautiful state at the moment and all of prayers go out to the people living within this devastation. I have seen this for awhile now and shed tears over what has been happening. I am sending this to you to perhaps research even further. We all know that the Chemtrail scums have been setting the entire West up for nasty nasty crap to happen. So here is some very disturbing news I know and hope and pray this will stop.

Intentional Burning of America; UN Helicopter on the Scene Prior to Fire [video]

forest fire

I’m in catch-up mode again. There are so many interesting developments in the news. Thanks for this, L.

There isn’t much that surprises me any more. The psychopaths will stop at nothing to achieve their objectives, and I suspect the destruction of the land is indeed part of Agenda 21/2030.

There’s a video link below from Dahboo777 about a fleet of white helicopters in Washington State a couple of months ago. Not sure if it was a chopper like that seen at the scene just before a fire erupted or not, but it was white.

You may also be interested in reading a past post about fires and the choices to NOT use the most effective means to fight them.

The letter below from Dr. William Mount mentions Lucifer, and I thought it fascinating that Cobra shared in his interview with Lynn from Prepare for Change that Satan and Lucifer are no longer a problem on the planet.

He said one was escorted to the Great Central Sun to have his soul deconstructed, and the other is now on the side of the Light. If I had to guess, I’d say Satan (Set) is no more, and that Lucifer (means “bringing light”, derived from Latin lux “light” and ferre “to bring”) is now on our side. Whichever it is, that’s great news. ~ BP


[Letter to and from undisclosed sender and recipients…]
Enclosed below is an article regarding the U.S. govt and the UN setting the fires and causing all the strife and danger now occurring. What a way to clear the land of people! Can you say Agenda 21 on steroids??? You might want to send this article out to everyone you know and ask them to do the same. As you know, but few others do, when no problems exist, govt creates the problems and then, of course, uses massive amounts of money and control to solve the problems they created, while the people are totally ignorant of all of this and do nothing to stop this criminal action. Of course, the problems are never solved, because govt’s secret motto is: “If we fix it, then, we can’t scam it!”
Best regards,
*******

UN Seen Starting Fires in North Central Washington
Friday, August 21, 2015

I just received a report from an eye witness that watched a White Colored UN Helicopter land on a mountain near Republic Washington and 2 men got out and started a brush fire.

This eye witness (Infantry Veteran) also sighted another odd looking aircraft fire a light beam into the woods and a forest fire erupted shortly afterwards.

These reports are spot on when it comes to location of the fires and are identical to reports of other fires starting across Washington State I have received.

Basically: These fires are being started by US and UN aircraft.

Washington State is under attack by the United Nations and United States Corporation and since the US National Forests currently belong to the government of China, they are technically AT WAR with China and thus (According to the original and 2nd treaties signed) at war with the entire “BRICS Set Of Nations.”

Please remember that the UN Lucifer Trust folks stated several times in the last two months they intend to “Turn up the Heat.”

I have a personal friend who makes a very inexpensive Non-Toxic Biodegradable product that you can spray on either grass or trees that prevents them from burning and he was told to “Stay The HELL Away From Us:” by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources Procurement Officer.

They want you dead.

One last note – I studied Fire Weather Behavior at UC Berkeley and fought fires in Forestry for 7 years with my last assignment as the Commander of an Army Reserve Fire Camp.

Until about three years ago, ALL fire weather was completely predictable.

With all the spraying by the 60th Air wing out of Fairchild Air Force Base, the 9/10th Air wing out of Omaha and Evergreen Aviation, the fires will now get very hot very fast and there is little prospect for rain.

If the Governor of Washington had any guts, he would shoot down the planes starting the fires, buy the product to stop the fires, and force down the jets spraying chemicals to block the rain.

If he had any guts – and was not a flaming coward.

(((Please Pray (Visualize) that those burning up Washington State are destroyed immediately)))

I got the witness talk at the door this morning. I had to tell them I was neither negative nor positive, neither for nor against the given subject and then turned down the 'magazine'.

They wanted to inform me, was I aware? I said, yes, I've done my research and that it is what it is, and left it at that.

Interestingly enough, only the local head of the organization shows up at my door, these past few times..

Oh yes, and a dense fog in the late night early mornings and late mornings in my immediate area, for the past two days. But that's the kind of energy in my life right now.

I will tell you this carmody if you do not want these folks coming around and beating on your door anymore, simply put up a no tresspassing in your yard. They will honor that and you will not see them again. I have two brothers and sisters that are of this denomination so I do know that.

So they understand they are trespassing? I wouldn't go that far. If you allow anyone to come to your door, maybe it is good for these people, especially the top guy, to hear someone who has done their homework and has come to a different conclusion than them. The energy shift may be in the opposite direction to the apparent proselytizing.

I agree with araucaria. Let them come to the front door and get a taste of some friendly non-emo detachment.
I bet there are few people out there who would give them such a reaction.

Cool graphic, Ulli. I refreshed the page for it to come up. For those with slower service and/or peak internet hours, here’s a smaller version.

Speaking of friendly non-emo detachment, this video came to mind. It cracks me up every time.

Well I have had talks with these folks over the years and it seemed to me that they absolutely would not or could not listen to other points of view or other beliefs. My soul mate would talk calmly to brothers and sisters and never seem to get anywhere with them. She finally had enough and flat told them that she didn't have anything against their beliefs but they continually pushed on her and she said you seem to have everything against my belief yet we seem to believe in the creator but it has to be your creator and not anything else. Well she went off finally on them and they stopped coming around and talking to us. Too bad,

They did send others around to try and get us converted to their man made religion. I would ask these folks if their church was a 501 (C)3 or 4, most of them did not know what I was talking about. Well after a little while they finally sent around the top dogs, a couple of older fellows showed up and I ask them the same questions. They refused to answer but wanted to give me their magazines. I refused those and was very cordial to them and asked if they would leave.

Shortly after that I put up the no trespass signs and never seen any of them again. After talking with my younger brother he told me that the witnesses will not invade across a sign as such.

Sure you an be very aware and awake and have a very good talk back but I found it does not seem to matter with these folks when they are on their mission.

I got to doing my research into the Jehovah Witness sect and found some very interesting history about these folks. No 1. They are a broke off sect of the Millerites, if you have ever heard of them. So when they say they have been around and were with Jesus, I find that to be poppy cock. There is some very interesting writings about how they came about. Now the only other thing I say at this point and I have had this conversation way to much with my brothers and sisters, is why did they rewrite the canon bible to match their beliefs. They say they had to do that because God's name is Jehovah and that is what he wants them to call him. Well I leave this here and all can research to see where I at least have done mine.....

I see it this way myself, all have the right to their own beliefs, it is when a sect or denomination begins to enforce their belief on others that we get into that situation that is a destruction to life I believe. Just look at the Roman Catholic religion, Look at the Morman religion, Look at those nuts that told their followers to drink poison or commit some kind of suicide in the name of their belief.

I went to far into this one sorry folks just looking at my own experiences.

After about 5 words I politely say "no thank you" and close the door.

This is the wisdom advice that is so great, One eithers spends time trying something or just says no thanks. That is totally what I do on the phone to folks that are always seeming to sell something. It is this way with my brothers and sisters today, the conversations do not go into beliefs and I and they love each other for who we are. Thank you all for your wisdoms and thoughts on this subject.

On another subject. even though my avatar may look like that cat in post 46228 I have not been sucked into a saucer. I must say I have to keep looking at that because it is just to much and laughter happens. What a great image ulli
