The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

This Aquarius rising asks: “Are we ready for the change? Or, are we doomed to repeat the past? Nothing is ever certain.”

The level of anger is building.  It's the age-old class warfare struggle that is bringing great division in America.

As a solemn warning to wake up before it is too late, George Santayana said “Those who cannot remember their astrologic past, signfying their karmic past, are indeed self-condemned to repeat it.  But remembering isn't enough. We must learn from the past.  With the planetry shift (Uranus, Neptune in Aquarius, Pluto in Sagittarius) now taking place, Aquarius is here to stay. The question is, are we ready for Aquarius?

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

Are we ready for Aquarius?

In Genesis 1:26, God said, “Let us make man in our image.” How, by social order? Not necessarily. Created with reason and logic, would you agree that we are not behavioral creatures?  Would you agree that we are equipped to create ourselves by looking deeply within for our answers?  It is a process that takes much time, thought, and effort. In Chapter 3 of Genesis, we find implied doubt in the benevolence of God.  There was a serpent in the tree of knowledge of good and evil who told Eve that if she would partake of the forbidden fruit—pay no attention to God—she would surely not die. The serpent told Eve that God knew if she ate the fruit her eyes would be opened and she would know as much as the gods.  She would know good and evil. Created with reason and logic, we cannot know good if we don't know evil, who are we to believe God or the serpent?  Keep in mind that “God” and “serpent” are merely terms. Do we look to “God” for our answers, or do we rely on our reason and logic for answers? Adam and Eve chose to believe in their reason and logic. In Genesis 3:23, we learn that Adam was driven from the Garden of Eden and forced to till the ground. When I was a boy, my father told me that God gave Adam everything a man needed, yet Adam disobeyed God. He followed that remark with I didn't appreciate all that he had given me, and all those who came before that made America the great nation she is. I just took what was given to me and asked for more. As a Christian, I was taught that I was born in sin, in that the father of all men disobeyed God, who provided man with his every need. In order to receive God's grace, it was necessary to confess my sins, and that I must accept Jesus as my personal savior.  What about those who don't accept Jesus as their personal savior?  I had a problem with that idea. I accepted Jesus' way as the right way. I did not accept that I was born in sin. I did not accept that I simply took and asked for more.  I gave myself credit for being born with reason and logic.  I don't have faith in external authority, especially government authority. Government passes laws that coerce people to comply with man's injustices. The law, rather than based on faith, is based on reason and logic. Thomas Jefferson, who authored the Declaration of Independence, was a deist. He believed in God on the evidence of reason and nature, with rejection of supernatural revelation. With supernatural revelation, man can and does invent God to be anything the imagination can conjure. Jefferson's belief, my belief, led me to law professor Edward S. Corwin's The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law.  His book, long out of print, it was published in 1925, the year of my birth, I bought it in a secondhand law book store for a dollar. This book was the beginning of a change in me for the better. The power that be in Washington, D.C. are transforming America into something foreign to my perception. The question: Is it to be faith or reason and l ogic?   

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

There is a strong connection in radical Islam and global warming advocates.Both want to take the world back to an earlier time.  There is a connection in the Age of Pisces. Pisceans desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule are weak willed. They are easily influenced by external factors. (I got this from Astrologer's Handbook).
 
Aquarians are stubborn in their beliefs, many say eccentric. Many are incapable of comprehending their ideas.  Aquarians stir up arguments. They operate as equals among equals, with the notion that all men are created equal. They hate hypocrisy. Aquanians are not dependent on the environment for their security.  They are concerned with humanity on an impersonal level and their response is intellectual. (I got this from Astrologer's Handbook) Are we ready for Aquarius?
 
 

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

We are leaving the Age of Pisces. Since Pisceans desperately want to do what is right, yet weak willed; they are easily influenced; they limit conscious awareness to that which they want to believe. They are currently being led by self-serving authorities down a garden path.  
 
This Aquarian relates closely to high-tech and physics, both meant to give the individual more leisure time to meditate on the meaning of their lives. Unfortunately, it has caused most to be more concerned with the lacking or abundance of “things.” This has given political opportunists a cause: global warming.  
 
Scientific  discoveries not seen since the days of Atlantis are affecting every part of human life on the planet. Aquarius, whose sign is the water-bearer to humanity—is the sign of the reborn Christ—is the “Higher Law,” the background of America's Constitution, going to prevail?  The New Age is the rebirth of Atlantis. It is up to us.  Are differences among peoples to become increasingly less a matter of race, nations, and religions,  more a matter of levels of consciousness, Christ's way, or are we doomed to make the same mistake the Atlantians made?      
 

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

Reading the thread with interest inlink - times are changing, can we keep up….
Our perception is expanding greatly, and we are having to dig a little deeper for our answers.  We can all make a difference by changing our way of thinking

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

I'm Aquarius rising. In 1975, I broke out of my shell and emerged myself, a quite different individual than the picture I'd painted to the world.  I'd presented to the world safety devices that gave me a sense of security. The first step to real security, according to transactional analyst Jeanne Avery, is knowing what lies behind the mask we choose to wear.  The rising sign is the first step in knowing, she says.  I didn't know this in 1975.

By looking deeply within for answers and following my intuition, I changed my life for the better. Here is what Jeanne Avery says, in part, about Aquarius rising. “When this sign is on the ascendant, the individual has a unique approach to life that makes him somehow 'different' from other people. He may have a most unusual personality, or be so far ahead of his time that he is accused of being eccentric… he can have a strong sense of freedom for himself and for others…The universe is his playground… He becomes the water-bearer by walking to the beat of a different drummer. He may be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries.

“Everything is pointing to enormous change. Various worldwide energies are building. While I belong to the group that looks ahead, the United States has moved to the energy that is for moving back to an earlier time, before America's Declaration of Independence. By the way, when America was born  Aquarius was on the ascendant, says Avery. “Freedom of speech and opportunity was the cornerstone of the Constitution. Inventions flourished, humanitarian concerns made us friends to all. We became the water-bearer, broadcasting our message of human rights.”

The present United States is under the control of a Washington based aristocracy bent on transforming the nation, bent on destruction of the Constitution, replacing it with a worldwide collectivist government, whose goal is to redistribute evenly the world's wealth.  Which is better, the Constitution, moving forward, or a worldwide socialist government, the latter going back?

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

The following from Kathie Garcia, author of Atlantis Rising:

The New Age is the Age of Aquarius, a time of freedom and brotherly love, when many will manifest the Christ Consciousness and the planet as a whole will bask in the light of a long-awaited Golden Age. Astrological Ages are 2,144 year cycles, based on the precession of the equinoxes. Of course, the portent of an age of peace and prosperity, like all prophecy, is not a promise but rather a potential. In the words of Astrologer Nicholas Campion; Change is not predestined but depends upon individual free will…The New Age will therefore come about not as a result of a preordained pattern but as a result of the ability of humanity to realize its full potential. Many seers, among them Edgar Cayce, predict tremendous upheaval and widespread global destruction as a prelude to entering such an age.

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

upon arising Wednesday, I was progammed to think of  Aquarius in connection with
Atlantis. I wrote in Googe search “Aquarius-Atlantis Connection.” The first Web site I clicked on brought up a notice that my computer had been virus infected and I should click on “system security” immediately, which I did. A file started downloading. I couldn't stop it. Next, I was notified that Windows was shutting down to save my computer from being destroyed by a virus.

I ran a scan with my Norton virus protection. Nothing harmful showed up. I repeated in the Google search “Aquarius-Atlantis Connection.” The site I clicked on was not there. 

When I first joined the Gaia community, I was receiving hundreds of hits on my blogs and lots of comments.  There was a sudden drop in hits and comments as soon as Barrack Obama ran for President and I started commenting my bad feeling about the man.  Then I was unable to go to my site.  I reported the problem and got on again. Then my gaia email was lost. I couldn't get it back. Again, I was unable to get on  my site.  I reported the problem it was not fixed. I opened a new site.  Then my new site was taken off.  I'm back on now but it is my secret how.  By the way, I was a Gaia embassador. With no notice, I was removed.

At any rate, During the Age of Leo, I now learn, 10,600 BCE-8440 BCE, during the destruction of Atlantis, I am told, the golden age referred to in legends, learning self rule rather than being subject to external authority, all the legends of Atlantis point to the fact that this lesson was not fully learned or integrated. I didn't know this, yet this has been my theme in all of my writings. There is so much I didn't know that has been coming to me over the years, ever since I studied the Constitution and felt that voices of the past were speaking to me.
 
After the destruction of Atlantis, came the evolutionary lesson for the age of Cancer related to new ideas about home and tribe. Humanity’s relationship with technology having been stripped away, simple values of the hearth and heart became the central focus. Gemini following Cancer, was characterized by widespread migrations. From a post-flood simplicity, cultures expanded and spread out, perhaps in many cases as hunter gatherers. During the age of Taurus, the Bull, Minotaurs, Apis bulls and the Bull of Heaven dominated myth and iconography. Conventional wisdom declares this to be a time of primarily agricultural societies where the domestication of cattle and the mastery of the element of earth is displayed through an emphasis on fertility. The Age of Aries brought the ram-headed god Khnum of Egypt. This period might be described as an age of heroes as the “lamb” was ritually slain and the mythic focus turned to conquest and a glorification of war. By 330 BCE, Alexander’s conquests had established Greece as a major power and the force that seemed to provide the container for “modern” civilization. The lessons of the age of Aries included such positive characteristics as valor and such negative qualities as brutality and mindless exploitation. The age of Pisces has seen the emergence of hierarchy in organized religion and the growth of monastic orders, following the pattern of the ill-named “Holy Roman Empire.” After the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 CE what became Christianity began to emerge. By 200 CE this thrust was well entrenched and we have seen increasing industrialization of parts of the world with the centralization of wealth. The archetype of suffering has hopefully provided a schoolroom for humanity to become more compassionate.
 
As we approach the much-heralded age of Aquarius, the stars of the Water Bearer will replace those of the Fishes.  A new archetype for the Aquarian age will emerge and the diversity of this expression can already be witnessed. The already exponential growth of technology will continue. The lessons of this age, similar to Atlantis, will technology be used to serve the collective forces of the world? Will unleashed self-serving forces destroy us again?  The choice is ours.
 




 

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

During the destruction of Atlantis, according to legend around 10,000 BCE, self rule had not been fully learned. In the United States, the progressive movement commenced during Theodore Roosevelt's administration. Progressives are for big government, less self rule.

During the Great Depression, when the American people were forced to depend on government help, the progressive movement took a great leap forward, and as been moving forward ever since, causing the people to be evermore dependent on government.  The progressive movement is now imposing an unsustainable debt on future generations. The destruction of America is well on its way. 

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

We are at the threshold of change to: (1) first chaos and rebuild from scratch, the story of my life; or (2) keep what we’ve got and make it better. Keep in mind that what took me only one lifetime to make life better could take the world thousands of lifetimes.

The Obama answer is first chaos and rebuild from scratch.  An omen of what is to come was the 9-11 event, the tearing down of the old and rebuilding from scratch, a repeat of history—what  comes around goes around. Says my guru, quantum physicist Even Harris Walker in The Physics of Consciousness, in Chapter 18, “A God for Tomorrow:”  “Everyone worships reality. Each person looks about him, listens a moment—listens as long as life will let him pause to listen—and then he falls down and worships whatever it is that  looks like this is what it is all about.  . .” 
 
“Mankind has traveled a long way in the search to understand reality.  . . Beginning with the myths and superstitions of antiquity, we have followed a path of discovery into the modern age of scientific understanding, and we have helped to open the door to new realms of science …”  However…

“We still believe and we are still afraid …We still hunger to find some god that we can know. We still ask, “Is there a God?” We still look to see where.  . . ‘Where could He be in this vast empty universe?’”

It has only been with the advent of quantum theory “that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter.  In the development of quantum theory the observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation… The tests of Bells theorem have shown us that objective reality as it has been conceived is not the true fabric of reality.  The observer interacts with matter.  Consciousness, the substance of this new-found reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality.” (Quantum means quantity, in this case the smallest excitations of matter with which the mind is in touch and interacts.)

“The consequences have been devastating to religion. Religion—all religion—has for some time been dying a slow death. Many will greet such a statement with elation that the earth may be freed from the self-righteous, the fearmongers, those who raise the specter of eternal condemnation, those who instill guilt in children and the frail of mind, and those who have inflicted pain, inflamed hatred, and foster wars in the name of this or that religion… But for all this terror, there is one thing that is worse: the thought that all the suffering and all the pleasure of life have no meaning.”  Science has now brought us to the threshold of “a world stripped of all innate moral values, without giving us anything to take its place.”

“Consciousness exists.  And for the first time, we have used the instruments of scientific investigation to fit its existence into the overall tapestry of reality.  For the first time, we understand what consciousness is. We can see how these fit into the physical processes of the brain that are involved in thinking, the data-processing operations of synaptic junctions in the brain.”

“But more than all of this, surprisingly, we have discovered that every path we have taken to learn something of the structure of the universe finally comes around to the same result.  Whether to understand the interconnections of will, to understand the most basic fact in quantum theory, or to discover the beginnings of the Big Bang universe, each path leads to the fact that there must exist a supreme Consciousness out of which everything else springs.  It is consciousness that begins everything …”

When you think about it, God never intended his creation to have blind faith.“Matter, objects—a physical domain exists that is governed by immutable laws.  But these laws leave open a range of happenings that are left to the selection of the mind.  Behind this selection is the will.  The will works much like a communications channel that links all of us to a common control center.  Within the power of our combined will lies the power to do essentially anything. Within the power of this will lies any knowledge—of anything known, or knowable—of the past or of the future.”

“Some have failed to see any place—any space—where God could reside, and others have failed to see where any consciousness could hide within the atoms of matter. But we have found that reality,” says Walker.  So, is it to be Obama’s way, first chaos and rebuild from scratch, or the cutting edge of science’s way?  
 
In the mix of “things” there has to be consciousness, and we are conscious.  So, when will we be ready for the quantum leap into our next human evolvement?  We are conscious of only as much as we individually allow. This is a crucial time in history.  It is our choice whether we cross the threshold to our intended future or hold back in fear, as was the fate of the people of Atlantis twelve  thousand years ago.    

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

I've always been interested in the Atlantis question, did it exist or was it a way to describe a way of being or even a way of becoming.  I have had dreams and meditations linking me with Atlantis.  The most powerful dream was being warned that there was a great destruction coming and the need to lead people away and the frustration that the loved ones wanted to stay and were happy to stay.  I left with another person and I've never been sure of who the person was to this day….

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

I had a repeating dream of flying on the back of a giant bird through a narrow, winding canyon—terrified. I couldn’t see around the bends. At the time, my life was coming apart. I blamed others, especially government.  I lost my business enterprise of 25 years, thanks to government sponsored inflation.  Inflation forced me to pay a capital gains tax, even though I lost money in my business and made zero gain due to inflation.  I studied my constitutional rights.  I felt called up to take action for the good of all. I beat the IRS. I went to sea for two years. While at sea, miracles occurred. I came to believe in the power of the individual.  It is much greater than we’ve been taught to believe.  Could that person you departed with be your alter ego?

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

An interesting concept inlink - maybe I will meditate to recive some more insight on this dream vision.  Thank you

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

Western astrology has been debased by commercialization. Not that cosmic events are the cause of events and human characteristics, but that they reflect, I have come to learn from astrology that the events of my life and my characteristics are too coincidental to be coincidence. So, why is that not true for everyone?  Actually, it was not true for me until the calamity my life became in my forties forced me to change. 
 
Astrologers and numerologists say that it my forties I’d come under great pressure to change. At age 49, I cut from the herd, went strictly on my own.  When I began to look deeply within for my answers, I discovered the real me. My life improved.  I take it that I got on my path of destiny. Most convincing is the fact that on impulse I got off my path of destiny.  I let my ego again take charge of my life. If anything could go wrong it did. In frustration, I got deeper and deeper in the hole I was digging. It took me 15 years to come to my senses. I decided to go back to square one and start over. My life has been getting better ever since.
 
This I tell you is my experience, which you can’t know. But if your life is not as good as you would like it to be, it’s something to think about.

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

After reading The Celestine Prophecy by astrologer James Redfield, pursuant to his offer, I sent him $25 to produce an astrological report on me.  I wasn’t impressed by his audio tape. It was too generic. Several years went by.  I started writing my memoirs. I thought about Redfield’s tape and played It again. I was amazed at the way I’d changed in my thinking.  Redfield spoke of archetypes, the original model of a person, or an idea, or a myth that identifies who we are and what we’re about. 
 
I’d read about Joseph Campbell and his Hero with a Thousand Faces.  I’d thought about creation, God and nature, sin, morality, computers and the Internet:  how much I’d learned from the Internet.  I’d read books on quantum mechanics, the connection of the macrocosmic with the microcosmic.  My conscious awareness had greatly expanded. I woke up the other day with the thought about the connection of the Age of Aquarius with Atlantis.   
 
If you type “Aquarius –Atlantis connection” in Google you get 7,620 sites on Aquarius-Atlantis connection.  My Gaia thread on Atlantis I’m posting here is at the top of the list. In “bing” on Windows Internet Explorer, I typed in search “The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection.” The second, third, and fourth sites listed were on my Aquarius-Atlantis connection.  The third on the list was “Gaia Community Groups-Connect. Grow. Inspire. Empower …posted a reply to the conversation The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection in 50+Stars …”

I typed in Gaia’s search “Aquarius-Atlantis Connection” and got “no results found.” They use my posts to advertise Gaia to the world. But here at Gaia on my posts: No results. I get the feeling the management doesn't like me.  Perhaps they don't like the change I am offering.  I say look within for your answers.  Perhaps they look to Obama for their answers.  I hear that by not looking within for answers Atlantis became extinct.  Who knows best for you, Aboma or you?

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

No Comment?  Not surprising. 

What came before Aquarius? The Age of Pisces came before, people desperate to do the right thing, people without strong wills, people easily influenced by the powers that be.  

Is there anything that comes before love, peace,  compassion, or is it natural–some of us just think that way, other don't? Some of us know God; others don't.  Some of us are successful; others are not.  Is it natural or is there something that comes before? 

We are each born with certain characteristics.  I was born with an independent nature.  It was difficult to conform to living in a highly regulated society.  I finally went on my own, went against the flow.  My life improved. I found love.  That's why I say look within for your answers.   

What I say scares most folks.  We end with laws that restrict people who look within for their answers.  What caused Atlantis to fail? What always causes nations to fail? Out of control government.  It's your choice, not mine.

  
My independent nature caused me to find a bigger than life calling, a purpose in life beyond my personal ego needs.  What followed was spiritual growth, with none of the dogmas and doctrines of religion. We are placed in a box it we allow it.  There is the global warming crises; the health care crises, over population crises, Islamic terrorism,  greed and corruption, drugs, irresponsibility. Take your choice of external concerns to get wrapped up in. Forget your inner self.  You can learn to heal yourself and naturally change your direction.  You can help our planet survive the crises we now face.   The way you can start is to look within for your answers.   

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

Jeanne Avery an astrologer and member of the International Transactional Analysis Association has this to say about me in The Rising Sign, under “Aquarius Rising:” “The person with Aquarius on the rise can be very avant-garde. He is a forerunner in setting style, discovering new mehtods, and showing the rest of humanity the way.”

Obama’s revisited Roosevelt New Deal has not worked any better today than it did during the Great Depression—which lingered eleven years, don’t forget. World War II ended the great depression. It is the same old deal. Government duty to the individual never fails to end with government in control of every aspect of the individual’s life. 
 
What caused the failure of mythical Atlantis was the same that causes the failure of every nation: out of control government. There is not one single reported instance in history when government duty to the individual has ever brought anything but government control in the end.  The end result never justifies the means when the means involves the best interests of all, at the same time ignoring the individual’s sacred rights to life, liberty, and property.

Government has no authority under “Higher Law” to grant everyone equal healthcare, or the authority to redistribute wealth. It’s unconstitutional. It is manmade mafia tactics: might makes right. America’s government is currently bankrupting America, spiritually, morally, and fiscally.   The American people are fast coming to the realization that the progressive movement, now up to full speed, is aimed at total control of the individual.

I’m a World War II veteran. I personally saw the result of Hitler’s similar goal, a Germany flat on the ground. The realization of what the Obama Administration and Congress are up to has awakened the American people.  The Obama Administration’s utopian goals are in a tailspin. The American people are now starting to take the nation back.

I set out to build a life on my own. With my Creator’s help, no one else involved, miracles occurred. I learned who the real me was. From personal experience, I have the feeling that the Mayan calendar prophecy is going to come true in 2012.  The World will be back at square, just like I was on April Fool’s day 1999, when I boarded a jetliner for Portland, Oregon.  What comes around goes around for one applies to everyone. In the end, it isn’t government, but individuals in touch with a common control center.  
 
I’ve learned from the cutting edge of science that there is no such thing as objective reality, or the common good of all.  The individual’s mind is interactive with a dimension of infinite possibility. You can take it from me that it all begins subjectively in this world, from the moment we arrive. We individually make our own reality. There are too many coincidences in my life to think otherwise. Take it from me that no one else but “yours truly” turned my personal calamity into the good life. Government plays a secondary role. 

We are once again entering the Age of Aquarius. Are we going to once again repeat the Atlantians’ mistake, reduce ourselves to behavioral creatures—half animal, half human? It is all up to the individual. I, for one, think we are going to cross the threshold this time, to become the humans we are intended to be.

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

I woke up several days ago conscious of  “the Aquarius-Atlantis connection.” It was the first time it was in my consciousness. If you enter in Google Search “Aquarius-Atlantis connection”—this should interest Taikunping—you get my postings to Gaia50 Stars. These postings came to mind in the mornings following my conscious awareness of the Aquarius-Atlantis connection.  Second on the list is Lemura Atlantis Extract. In the extract, you see highlighted Atlantis, connection, Aquarius, giving rise to the notion that there is a common control center connected with our minds, which happens to be the latest finding of cutting edge science.  

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

It makes sense to say we are making ourselves in our image–“with dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”(Gen. 1:26). It also makes sense that Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil, in defiance of God's command.  For by disobeying, the first man and woman learned good and evil, the very thing that makes we humans above all other life forms on the planet.  It does not mean that we are beholden to any external authority.  It means that we, individually, have God-given rights, according to the law, that we have the right to be self-reliant and personally responsible: “inalienable rights that are not capable of being surrendered or transferred without the consent of the one possessing such rights.” Morrison v. State, Mo.App., 252 S.W. 2d 97, 101. 

Every member of Congress takes an oath of office that he or she will protect and defend the Constitution.  When asked about those rights above mentioned, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said: “Are you serious?”  The powers that be are thumbing their noses at the American people's Constitution.  You are witness to the results.

We are leaving the Age of Pisces, entering the Age of Aquarius. I've explained what this means, according to astrologers. The progressives in control of America's governemnt are not aware of the progressive order of God's dealings with humanity, which runs through and links together the ages, from the beginning of the life of man to the end in eternity. St. Augustine said: “Distinguish the ages and the Scriptures harmonize.”  There is no revision of the Higher Law.  Man's inhuman laws keep us from our intended destiny.  It's either Atlantis' demise again or cross the threshold to our intended destiny.

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

Thank you inlink for sharing your knowledge - I've always been interested in astrology and Atlantis.  In recent years I've realised just how connected we all are and how we are multi-dimensional beings who has access to knowledge beyond our everyday three dimensional world.  I've just read Starseeds recent blog about 5th dimensional being. 

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

I had a bad dream this morning. Allen Colmbs, Fox News' untra-liberal consultant, was the pilot of my jetliner.  I was aware that he was flying totally off-course. I saw America's coast line disappear in the distance. Colmbs was flying us over the ocean. Then I was falling.  I woke up terrified. The wheels in my head started spinning.

It makes sense to me to believe that before any “thing” there must be consciousness.  Before the Big Bang there had to be consciousness. It makes no sense to me to believe that the coming together of “things” is by accident.  And, furthermore, a “thing” can be incredibly small, and its conscioiusness likewise, but nevertheless, a separate entity, whose life is incredibly short.  Said incredibly small things are the beginning of the time-space consortium. By looking at “things” in this way, it helps me understand quantum mechanics, the study of the incredibly small–in fact the “things” that go to make a human being.

With the exception of our brains, I learn from the cutting edge of science, we are mde up of totally new “things” every seven years–with the same consciouisness, under normal circumstances, growing more aware, and it seems to me, with increasing purpose.

But then, I reason, there is this to consider: control.  I, personally, have nothing to loose by others being in control of their lives. But I realize that others have much to loose.  They have built their lives on controlling other people.

There is a lot of talk on the lost continent of Atlantis, supposedly, an advanced civilization. Some astrologers say loss of individual control caused the demise of Atlantis.  It's interesting that when I wrote in Google Search “Aquarius-Atlantis connection,” my Gaia site posts headed the list. I read what others had to say. Some believe America was Atlantis. Maybe they were seeing America's future. Is Atlantis' fate not exactly what is taking place in America?  We don't have to let that happen. It is our coice.

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

. Is Atlantis' fate not exactly what is taking place in America?  We don't have to let that happen. It is our coice.

Very interesting, Inlink. I have often felt that ideas such as Atlantis -  that persist in our minds, staying alive because of our wondering whether  they were 'real' or mythical- serve to remind us of something that we need to remember in each generation. We move away from that idea, and then the process comes around and we once again remember. 

The message for me, is to expand our consciousness, to look not only at what is in front of our human senses but also above,  through, under, around, and even away from.

The wider the perspective, the more complete our knowing, that is sometimes even beyond understanding or expression. As I read your words, I felt - what is 'accident' from one perspective, is 'consciousness' from another.

Will,  whose birthday we recently celebrated in this group, had a remarkable post once about perspective from different dimensions. I'll see if I can find it. I couldn't at first glance.

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

President Obama, the former South Chicago community organizer, was born with Mercury in Cancer, which means he would see the world through the eyes of an emotinally sensitive cosmic nurturer, that of a mother with uncnditional love.  Naturally, he would be for the underdog.

This Aquarius rising was born with mith Mercury in Virgo. By the way, in my chart I see my Sun, Moon, Mars, and Mercury in my Seventh Houste, and I see Virgo there opposing Pisces. In the song Aquarius: When the moon is in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, Then peace will guide the planets, And love will steer the stars.
 
Mercury in Virgo means I would be an organizer.  Rather than the cosmic nurturer, I would desire high standards of ethics and morality through reason, logic and methodical analysis.  I would be exacting and bring coherence to the world.

None of this is my thinking. I'm reading it all in my astrology books.

My infantry training in World War II began with a bugle blasting over a loudspeaker, I can't get em up, I can't get em up, I can't get em up in the morning … Well, we got up and saved freedom in the world. Now we're back where we were, only this time with our own government bent on controlling us.

And this thought: The Senate, by deceit and bribery, is going to pass government controlled health care before Christmas. 

Whether a myth or real, and I don't profess to know, the story of Christ's birth, those three Zoraster wise men, led by the Star of Bethleham, finding the baby Jesus, brings a message far more lasting than the Senate's Christmass gift to the the American people. Christmas is more than tinsel and gift giving. Wake up, America!

Re: The Aquarius-Atlantis Connection

For a brief period, America’s Founding Fathers broke away from the world’s power struggle and gave the individual “unalienable rights;” that is, rights that are not capable of being surrendered or transferred, without the consent of the one possessing such rights.  

Having said this, at 1:00 A.M. in July, 1975, my key would not open my one room apartment door.  I’d not paid my rent. The IRS had illegally frozen my rightful tax refund that would have paid my rent.  They did it because I petitioned the Tax Court for a hearing on their illegal assessment of tax.   

For the moment, I was homeless, and nobody knew it but me.  I’d been on the night shift of a Miami, Florida boatyard job.  Down the street from my pad, there was a mile long food stamp line—unemployed snowbirds from the North in South Florida for the winter. I could have become one of those “poor mes”on some street corner with a sign begging for help. You could say I was a victim of circumstances, but God helps those who help themselves.  

I walked across the street to a payphone and called the police. The police woke up the apartment manager and gave me the new key. You can’t lock out a tenant until you go through a legal process. On that fateful night, I was on the first steps of a thousand mile journey to a new life. 
 
When everything could easily have gone wrong, everything went right.  I’ve given myself the name peacemaker.   When the moon is in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, Then peace will guide the planets, And love will steer the stars. Aquarius! Aquarius!  

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius,The age of Aquarius.Aquarius! Aquarius! Harmony and understanding, Sympathy and trust abounding, No more falsehoods or derisions, Golden living dreams of visions, Mystic crystal revelation, And the mind's true liberation. Aquarius! Aquarius! 
 
I know from personal experience that in the end the belief in God in self will bring us hope. For– Hope, as an anchor so steadfast,Rends the dark veil of the soul.Whither the Master has entered,Robbing the grave of its goal.Come then, O come, glad fruition,Come to my sad weary heart;Come, O Thou blest hope of glory, Never, O never depart. 

A very merry Christmas to all!

Oh! By the way, Hope, as an anchor so steadfast, from Whispering Hope, a song I play and sing on my keyboard, I've added it to my country music at
