i believe the feminine water principle is wearing the white hat on the horizon...and is that a bugle i hear?

maybe we each could add a little bit of the milk of human kindness into the pottage, and invite esau and jacob to a meal?

---

and just as in "lord of the rings" it is froto's faith and determination that will be required as we face this looming prophecy

and when the time comes, remember that even the trees in nature joined the fight. this is the true battle for our survival--not what passes for "protecting our country" in the oil fields of iraq

and it is interesting to note that the angel dipped into the feminine, lunar WATER of the ocean to continue the battle, not into the gunpowder of mars

what does water symbolize?

water is feminine, lunar energy, and it is aided, or carried, by aquarius

without water, fiery testosterone from the sun has been out of balance during this piscean age, which followed the age of aries, demanding altars to burn sacrifices, etc.

water effectively puts out fire. yet water can rush into floods and destroy everything in its path, too. we don't want that

and without fire, where would we be?

with the mellowing influence of water, fire is contained and turned into plowshares and channeled toward nurturing the planet rather than destroying it

balance is the key...and isn't it fascinating that the pope was born during a solar eclipse, the moon in conjunction and harmony with the sun? how symbolic is that?
especially combined with the fiery explosion of mount saint helens on the pope's birthday years later

and how riveting is it to learn of "spirit lake" spilling out of its watery bowl, and baptizing the mountain in the process?

the plot really thickens when you factor in the challenger explosion, with two women aboard: JUDith and CHRISTa

the sun's male fire energies, raging out of control on the planet, and aided by the militaristic energies of mars, will not want to surrender willingly

hence the ensuing "battle of the sexes"

and note what else lies in the waters of the ocean? what is surrounding ellis island but a womb of water, giving birth to "liberty"?

we can thank the french for their love of freedom, which tipped the scales in favor of independence from britain

and maybe we ought to have listened to them, when they tried to tell us we were not living according to the principles of liberty for the whole world when we attacked iraq

and it has become just waaayy too much testosterone

do you see how our lives depend upon our adherence to WATER, the feminine element here? it is imperative that we align ourselves with these energies or we will be devoured by FIRE

it is peaceful water that will douse the flames, not more firepower

so, the next time anyone is tempted to deride the peace activists, remember that it is they who are on the forefront of the coming battle. they will be the commanders in the watery duel, so we must not stab them in the back

now, in greek, the letters in the phrase "JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD, SAVIOR form the word ICHTHYS, or fish, from which the early christians derived the symbol which you see adorning some bumpers today

and it is this little lighting of our candles, and sharing our flames with others when they flicker and threaten to go out, that will enlighten the world

if we all were to light just one little candle, what a bright world this would be

i am joyful right now, contemplating the millenial peace that will either arise or descend, i am not sure which

maybe both. it will grow as we each send forth our little light into the universe, and the angels will come down to help save the day. it is decreed

the north-south polarity will assure your secure spot on the globe

you must not have seen the movie "South Park" where the united states goes to war with canada. canadian movies were corrupting our kids' morals, so we went to war with them...or something like that...i didn't see it, only heard about it

it seemed kinda funny that the idea of being willing to kill to protect our morality was portrayed--no doubt a spoof on how reality can get

the north-south principle was talked about by linda in her book 'star signs', p. 298:

[QUOTE]
One of the facets of universal synchronicity, a striking evidence of the harmony of the Universe, is the North-South mystery...Universal Law states that, in the Northern hemisphere, the North always has been and always shall be dominant over the South. When an opposition or a conflict occurs between them, the North will always win--or there will be a draw or a tie, so that no one wins. But in any event, the South cannot dominate or be victorious over the North (and vice versa in the southern hemisphere)

examples include the civil war, korea, vietnam, and the invincibility of the finns from the invading russians. (combined with good ol' sisu!)

(si' su--that's the finnish word for "guts" or "moxie"--determination)

and how will canada factor in the whole scene, the black cloud? drum roll..........

i fear americans will have far more bloodshed than they are crying for these days. perhaps canada will once again be a refuge for those who want no part of it???

btw, i have lived in canada, and you have a most beautiful country

and again, if anyone is interested in how this will all play out, study the goddess principles and how they will save the day. it is decreed

Could it be that the Higher Selves of both the American Indians and the Higher Selves of those English-born soldiers who fought them had a larger law in mind--that these Higher Selves of both sides knew the future of America, and knew that it was in the hands of a few Adepts and Avatars with the most glorious dream since the original dream in Eden?

...Abraham Lincoln, America's visionary and ultrasensitive leader, believed by metaphysicians to have been one of the fourteen soul pieces of Osiris, knew this esoteric secret...all men are created equal...America will continue to be divinely protected, as long as our First Amendment, guaranteeing Freedom of Speech remains intact. To keep it so is worth putting up with all manner of printed and spoken ugliness to protect that First Amendment. And it's worth remembering Voltaire's ringing declaration, "I may disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

sadly, the patriot act attacks more than just the first amendment. it turned the most peaceful participants in a drake university lawyers guild forum right here in iowa into terrorists by issuing them federal subpoenas, as well as as a gag order over the entire university

enough "true patriots" protested this travesty, and they were withdrawn. but does this not chill anyone else? the fact that it drew so little response is even more chilling

but, again, i suppose it, too, is all part of a greater plan. but that doesn't mean that we in any way have to partake in the aggression. why would anyone choose to do so?

I just hope we last at least as long as the Egyptian civilization lasted, and without the "Intermediate Periods"...
