Religion imbeds fear in you to control you. Do not give them authority over you.

Same with Tarots and other forms of divinations.

Do not give them authority over you.

Though there is no harm in seeking counselling.

Yes and that's why the world is in the state it is in.

Does love empower a wicked man to renounce wickedness?

Or does it enable him to pursue it with less compunction?

Does it convert him in some cases, pervert him in others?

Is a little love intoxicating,
as some medicines, when first administered,
merely give a man enough strength to pursue,
with renewed vigor, the original cause of his debility?
Even, as is sometimes the case,
emboldening him to take unprecedented liberties?

Can a wicked man recognize love, when shown it?

Will he take you for a sucker and a fool?

Will he see your love for him as a person,
or just an ideology you are compelled to live out?

And will he feel exalted above others by love,
because he feels that he is uniquely loved,
and does not understand unconditional love?

Will he value love, if it is unconditional?

What does it mean to be loved
by someone who loves everyone equally?

The ego is invalidated by such love.

In order to experience that kind of love,
and to feel it directed at yourself,
mustn't you love everyone equally?

And if you cannot, then, what is it to you?

Just a word;
an abstract feeling,
with no connection to your ego.

If love is free,
and overflows to fill every cup,
will it then be held cheaply?

Yet, if it is something to earn,
won't people invent their own standards,
by which to judge who is worthy of love?

Why do we love?

Is it to effect an outcome?

Or is it because it is right to love,
regardless of the consequences,
to ourselves and others?

The greatest sacrifice which Christ made,
and the most controvesial sacrifice,
was not the sacrifice of himself, or his body.
It was the sacrifice of his people.
They wanted him to fight back, not just for his own sake,
but for their sakes as well.
They wanted a warrior king, who would uphold the law of justice.
Instead, they got a man with a crown of thorns,
determined to uphold the law of mercy -
mercy for the oppressor, not the victim.

And here we are, 2,000 years later,
debating the advantages and disadvantages of love.

But who has advantage, or disadvantage?

Only the ego, right?

That which is fixed in God neither rises nor falls.

How can it rise, if it is at the supreme height?
How can it fall, if it is fixed there?

Perhaps the real challenge posed by Jesus is this:

Love is ineffectual.
Love will get you crucified.
Love will get your friends crucified.
Love is not the answer.
Love anyway.

Why?
Because.
It's love.

Does love require arguments? Or faith?

Is love higher than wisdom?

Love is divine foolishness.

Are they even comparable?

I wish this was my 2 cents,
but this is rather an account of my debt.
What I have squandered in answers,
I must beg for in questions.

As you will discover in the book, there are many more Sun Signs with which we have the pontential for easy compatability, sympathy and understanding than those with which we may find some degree of tension, antipathy or lack of communication..... more opportunities for Love and compassion than for hatred and mistrust in the harmonics of our solar system.
Yet concerned men and women in all walks of Life, from geologists and ecologists to prohets and astrologers, persistently predict the possibility of appoaching cataclysms, both man-made and natural, bringing the danger of annihilations before the critical next decade has passed on this waning planet, so fast losing light. We have been warned, but few have heeded the warning. We have been called, but few have answered. For the earth to wax again, clearly a miracle is needed.
By learning to use the wisdom of the planets, our co-Creators' code to Universal Truth, we may each create a fragment of the " RAINBOW-SPECTRUM " message of Peace on Earth to men...and women...of good will caroled by celestials over Bethlehem two thousand years ago to usher in the Pisces Age of the Gentle Nazerene, who asked us only to " Love one another," promising that what he did, we could " then do also."

It's not too late, for the JOYOUS message of angelic hosts(not yet identtified) still rings its clarion call today...now ushering in the Aquarian Age...heralding hope to those who watch the skies and listen for the MUSIC. There could be, I think, no greater prulude to a miracle so needed, perhaps approaching sooner than we guess, than to employ the art of ancient wise men to pave the way for hie return witha New STAR QUEST for LOVE...Love of man for woman...and of both together then for every living plant and creature. For LOVE alone has the POWER to bring PEACE at history's twilight hour to Earthlings of good will.

You were created for her expression,
for her doors of light to open upon the world,
you must suffer,
you must suffer.

Only in suffering is your light purified.

Only in suffering is the soul cleansed.

Know that all is constant and unchanging, the forces at play have always existed.

Take comfort in your guides, know your guides, explore your inner self.

The feminine principle is always here to nurture you, the cradle of the womb was put here just for you. A soft cradle of flowing water, to temper the flames of your suffering.

Ecstasy is here,
ecstasy is now,
heaven is ever present,
there is only heaven,
for those purified by fire.

Grow in it, feel it, don't be afraid. Go closer to the fire, face it, let it burn you. When you get close you can see it is false. Don't be afraid because everything will always be the same, a constant flow of love.

Open your chalice to the high priestess, the great mother, bask in her intuitive wisdom and allow it to flow out from you and back to her.
