Venus Transit 2012

The grand and sometimes dire predictions of change that cumulate in this year, 2012, should be well known by now.   The nay sayers will continue to say that this could be the end of humanity, the yay sayers will continue to say that we have a great opportunity to finally turn our world around, even to eventually bringing peace on earth.   I happen to  believe that we are being given many opportunities to increase our awareness and help bring about great changes for good on a planet that has been plagued by violence, war, and hatred.   Astrology has been called both unscientific and the oldest science.   On June 5&6 an astrological event is occurring that may provide us yet another opportunity to make positive decisions.    This event is an actual event in the heavens called a venus transit.   It is a time when Venus crosses the face of the sun.  It has been said that the rare occasions this has happened new eras are born.   The Venus Transit of 1526 ushered in the Age of Renaissance,  The 1639 event ushered in the Age of Reason, 1769, the Age of Enlightenment, and 1882, the Age of Imperialism.  
Will the Venus Transit of 2012 be seen eventually to usher in the age of Human Evolvement?  Be aware of the energy on and around June 5 and 6.   Be aware of opportunities, who you meet on those days, keep an eye open for that which might give you the boost you need.  If even knowing about this can help us make better decisions and give us a more positive viewpoint, then it is worth thinking about.   If you want to know more about this event just google ‘meaning of venus transit’.     

You are a Traveler...

You are a universal traveler.  You can travel through time and space and you have arrived to visit a relatively small planet on the edge of the milky way galaxy.   You look a lot like the inhabitants of this planet so it is easy for you to blend in.  But as you look around, trying to find out more about this place, you start to see and hear things that are beginning to disturb you.  The people on this place are split by what they call religion.  People with different ideas fight over those ideas.   And there are many areas on this planet that are at war.   Pictures on the news videos show scene after scene of destruction caused by these wars.   Also there are pictures of many children that have been killed in these conflicts.  
You are hearing about how these inhabitants have allowed and even inflicted much destruction against the planet itself.   The planet is in danger of becoming unlivable.  Maybe not in the immediate lifetime of these people but certainly in their childrens’ or grandchildrens’ lifetime.   Most of the inhabitants of this planet don’t seem to care about these things, they don’t even seem to think about them, nor do they even appear to be trying to do anything about them.  When a random murder happens close to where our visitor is staying he decides he has had enough.  He makes plans to leave this violent primitive place.  This planet called earth is way too violent and dangerous for universal travelers to visit.  

"Children of the Angels"...

From the time I got up this morning the line from Walela’s song ‘Circle of Light’ has been going through my mind.   Walela is a trio of aboriginal American women.    The song has some wonderful lines in it but the one that keeps running through my mind says: “We are children of the angels”.  “We are children of the angels Keepers of the Fire, We are children of the angels reaching for the light.”  Not long after I got up I played the song and some of the other songs on the album.  But here it is early evening and the line is still going through my mind.   Perhaps some of the other lines carry the message that I needed to hear.   “We are not strangers....I know we came here to love each other...Each one thinks he has the answer, Each believes that he can see the way, the only way.  Truth lies waiting, was always waiting, Like a love, a peaceful dove, Right there inside your soul.”  “We ARE children of the angels reaching for the light...” 

'Every being ...knows right from wrong, Mark'

(Image from Roger Waters, THE WALL, concert/production in Vancouver, 5/26/12)

In the movie, K-PAX, Kevin Spacey is the character who claims to be from another planet and is being evaluated in a psychiatric facility.  In an interview with the psychiatrist played by Jeff Bridges, he is asked if he knows right from wrong.  His answer to that question was simply, ‘Every being in the universe knows right from wrong, Mark.’
A thought provoking statement don’t you think?  Do we have a built in sense of morality?  Or do we need a parent, a clergyman, a teacher, to teach us ethics?  And the other side of that coin, do we need a parent, a clergy, a teacher, peers, to teach us how to suppress an inner knowing of the difference from right and wrong?  Are we born with a blank slate and all sense of ‘right and wrong’ is etched on that slate that is our lives?  Do you know right from wrong?  Where did you learn it?  Did you always know the difference?  Does every being in the universe know right from wrong?

The Longing for Home...

It has been said that the motivation for all human endeavor is the soul’s search for home.  When we are born we forget what life was like in Spirit but our soul remembers enough to create a longing for what we have lost,  what we once had in Spirit.  It is this longing that is the underlying motivation for the human search for God, happiness, money, love.  There is such a longing for our Spirit home that many of us are willing to believe anything that claims to provide us with a fulfillment of that longing.   It accounts for overachievers, fundamentalists and yes the creation of saints and mystics. 
Now if  we understand this and take into account that there is this underlying motivation we can use to become creators of heaven on earth.  One more way to work toward Peace on Earth and healing the earth and it’s inhabitants.   

A Love Poem...

The Quiet Silent Park

The Park is quiet..silent now
Only the hawks and the homeless are left
And my thoughts of you
Gone are the screaming kids,
The noisy families that leave their waste
All over the ground
But I have my thoughts of you
The only thing nicer than this quiet, silent park
Would be having you with me to share it
I can only share it now
With my thoughts of you

Humans are Just Being Human...

Humans are just being human.  The human of old is going away but not without a fight.  What if?  There is no satan, that the only evil in the world is done by humans. 
What if?  The beautiful things in the world, expressions of love, expressions of beauty, are human generated?  What if?  War is on its way out.  What if?  You really have nothing to fear but yourself.  What if?  You really do have it in yourself to be more than you are, to have all your dreams, to create a world of peace for your children. 
What if?  There is no hell.  What if?  Death is only a portal back to the Creator and all of your friends in Spirit.  What if?  Humans are becoming more.  If there has been evil in the world there has also been good and beauty.   If there has been evil in the world you have the choice not to participate.  You have the choice to choose love over fear,  beauty over destruction.  After all humans are just being human.
