The Promise: The Battle of Armageddon

First thing in the morning, new thoughts, or rather new versions of old thoughts come to my mind. The world's greatest psychic of modern times, I heard on TV, was Edgar Cayce. His thoughts came to him while he slept. The greatest psychic of all times was Nostradamus, the French astrologer who wrote in riddles. From TV, I learned that he predicted that in our time the dead would rise from their graves. I take that to mean that ancient thoughts would come back to life. He was right. Pythagoras, also an astrologer, was the father of modern math. From Pythagorean geometry, modern science gives us Bell's theorem, and a nonlocal dimension not subject to gravity, electromagnetism, or the speed of light.

Having said this, in the spacetime consortium, it takes time to travel from point A to point B. Einstein mathematically proved that at the speed of light the physical universe does not exist. With a nonlocal universe, which does not include travel, it would necessarily be a state of conscious awareness that exists beyond the speed of light, as states don't have boundaries.

Speaking of states without boundaries, a branch of philosophy, epistemology, which investigates the origin, nature, methods, and limits human knowledge, eliminates expansion of our state of awareness. It limits us to the known. We enjoy our comfort zones. We resist investigation into the unknown. We cling to long-held beliefs that order our lives, beliefs that bring about wars. By the time I was 18, I was taken into World War II, which was followed by the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, Desert Storm, and now the War Against Terror. By the elimination of an expansion of awareness, the wars getting more and more deadly, we're paying a high price for sticking with the known.

I'm against war. I'm for peace. I'm for investigating the unknown. Richard Tarnas, distinguished as a philosopher and cultural historian, spent 30 years comparing the movements of outer planets with events on our planet. That's a very long time to waste his time, isn't it? What would make this generation accept the beliefs of people totally ignorant of our present day world, people who are constantly going to war, people who are constantly acquiescing? Fear of the unknown keeps an authoritarian world from changing. Tarnas does not waste his time. The world is blind to the light that can save us.

Tarnas pointed out to me in Cosmos and Psyche that the influence of the outer planets would be greater than the closer planets to Earth since the angles, one to another, from our perspective, would be slower to change. The orbits of the outer planets around the sun take much longer. Tarnas noted that Pluto and Saturn were unfavorably aligned on September 11, 2001, the day living-in-the-past Islamic terrorists, blind to the light, took down the World Trade Center.

Tarnas noted that "our atmosphere of gravity and tension tended to accompany these three-to-four-year periods." The same unfavorable alignment of Pluto and Saturn again commenced in November 2008, the month Barrack Obama was elected president, and will last throughout his term of office. This blind to the light world will come to a fitting end in 2012, according to prophecy from several sources. Some folks will remain to pick up the pieces and begin again.

When I was born, Saturn was trine Pluto-in the most favorable of alignments-giving me recondite consciousness. Mine is a story of one who picked up the pieces of my life and began again. From Astrologer's Handbook, the alignment of Saturn and Pluto-which now spells disaster-enabled me "to work slowly and make fundamental and irrevocable changes in my life and others' lives. Often there is a sense of destiny or a peculiar karmic mission which they must fulfill."

When I was in my forties, my ruling planet, Uranus, had transited to a position in opposition with itself when I was born (September 17, 1925, at 4:21 P.M.C.S.T. in Houston, Texas). Look me up. I'm an open book. I'm Virgo with Aquarius rising. While in my forties, the pressure would be on me to change, and change I did. I left my old life and began anew. As predicted, my life has changed for the better. As predicted, I'm passing on what I've learned.

Jeanne Avery, in The Rising Sign, points out that Aquarius rising can mean that I would be "a forerunner in setting style, discovering new methods, and showing the rest of humanity the way."

We learn in The Elegant Universe, from leading string theorist, Brian Greene, of a universe of 11 dimensions in which, from the smallest of quarks to largest of supernovas, a harmony of vibrations makes up a beautiful and bizarre whole, bringing us closer an understanding of how the universe works-how we fit into the whole.

Individually, we are physically a colony of vibrating parts. Mentally, we are in a state of awareness. When our mental composure is, according to Tarnas, "marked by widespread indulgence, decadence, naivete, denial," transformation has been "through contraction, conservative reaction, crisis, and termination." Amen! The Bible's Battle of Armageddon is a fitting end for people who don't know whether they are afoot or horseback.

It all fits the mold I find myself in. The end of our sick world will be the beginning of a quantum leap forward, when people will know the power that lies within.
