Well, it may have been a bit wordy at times. He is that way. I could not understand the Road Less Traveled but this one was super, super profound, I thought. It changed my life but it's wisdom sinks in slowly, as one has defense mechanisms which go away very slowly

I love his work!!

I don't own a copy of People of the Lie ... (because I try to buy used books on $5 month budget... maybe $8... okay up to $15 if it's anything to do about astrology!

(oh... that Lies book's cover was terrible, and pages not glued well, so price of $5 was no-deal!)

I have:
- The Road Less Traveled
- Along the Road Less Traveled;
- Further Along the Road Less Traveled;
- The Road Less Traveled & Beyond, Spiritual Growth in an Age of Anxiety;
-The Different Drum...

Got them for FREE a few years ago... near an eclipse!

Someone had thrown away a box of books... A former neighbor wasn't interested in this topic, and came to ask me if I wanted them... OMG! YES.... (Weird how I can have to give up books, but someplace, somehow, many get 'replaced'--- they come back 'home' to my library shelves! )

Right now the books I have left are packed in plastic and bins in the next room. (This apartment is very tight.) Life kept pulling the rug out from under me, and had a devastating loss of books. I have a slim sliver representing the number I once had... have been constantly 'in a move' of sorts ...(since just before Uranus hit 2 degrees Aries -- my IC)!

Yes! things have been shaken! Terribly disconcerting.... It's been HOT, then COLD, then HOT, then COLD! Almost loosing my life's journals (1975-2010), AND my precious research papers, writings. (My 3rd House???? Triple cj in Aquarius!! a few years ago?)

My whole life has quaked badly, especially since September 2012. Last time this happened was the worst!! at Christmas 2012, then earlier times this winter/spring... Shred my nerves, will ya??

Most stuff now (~3,4 units) is astrology binders and 'books' I managed to find in obscure places. Had to actually full-price purchase a handful. Working with what I could find!

At the library, I would feel a quickening inside as I found materials to copy. Earliest material I found last week was from November 2008...! Wow, I hadn't realized it had been that long! I think I began to get 'serious-er' about astrology in March 2009... I was blind to the significance that was week working up to the Vernal Equinox!!

I am now beginning to understand some of the things retrieved back then. (My inner data-collecting planets did a good job!) They are some of the most important learning materials, NOW. I'm soooo glad I didn't lose EVERYTHING... but I'd lost an immense amount of material all together over the past 16 years. (You all know how much I was freaking out around Thanksgiving/Christmas 2012?--- I thought it was ALL going to be destroyed....

These papers and books represent "my creativity"---! These are "eclipse"-related tonight BECAUSE they represent 5th House Taurus... House of Children: My CREATIVITY!!

Ami and Padre... How "perfect" that you are the ones posting --(up till the time I started to Reply... er, around 3 hours ago???... yikes!) I feel comfortable sharing the following with you.

There's a scripture that The Lord impressed on me back in Fall of 1992 or 93? Became like a spiritual event lasting from 4:00am to 7:00am when I was studying one morning...

quote:

---

ISAIAH 54: vv 1-3 NASB
"Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child;
Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed;
For the sons of the desolate on will be more numerous
Than the sons of the married woman," says the Lord.

2 "Enlarge the place of your tent;
Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not;
Lengthen your cords,
And strengthen your pegs.

3 "For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left.
And your descendants will possess nations,
And they will resettle the desolate cities."

---

Books of the Prophets have ministered to me sooo greatly... Book of Jeremiah, especially about false prophets, corrupt priests and pastors... always bonked me in the face!! ("People Who Want To Live in Lies, Lies, Lies....?" hmmmm? )
_______

Decided that if I were to have to lose everything, I was would have a funeral for them and see if they all could get cremated at local funeral parlor?

THAT'S WHEN Faith (LL-Faith) had some pretty 'intuitive' threads:
- She posted her 'Funeral' thread in SweetPeas at the same time that was going on with me!
- And she opened her 'Families Distanced' one here in SweetPeas right in time for this Lunar eclipse in Taurus tonight..... (VERY significant to my chart!!)
- Her 'misterrogers' asteroid post was amazing and TIMELY also....
- And I have her beloved asteroid 'Elvis' near my (P.o.Sp) Daemon (Daemon is 'The Part of Spirit')!

Coincidently, tonight asteroid 'misterrogers' has been at 29 pisces 48 ... a few degrees near this P.Spirit in my chart... (watta blessing she's been to me!...without realizing it!
____

ANYWAY! Some of the stories Scott Peck relayed had an effect on my life!--- The world lost a treasure when he passed, Sept 25, 2005...

(I'm going to have to ask the family for his birth info...? He's a Gemini, Cancer Moon --his Mars is on my Sun!? )

(Thanks for letting me go on---- eclipses are INTENSE... and been sooo Healing for me!)

During this eclipse, I "let go" of the stress of almost losing all my stuff....

I FORCED myself through the afternoon, and finally found "distraction" listening to music (earphones). I got myself 'inspired' and was able to finally rise above... that's because the neighbor went back to 'regular' volume of their big system--- but fans, compressors, jets taking off from airport, and men working on souping up their car engines across the parking lot were intense. The later it got into the afternoon, (closer and closer to eclipse peak), the more I was able to "harness" the power of the eclipse. It was sooo healing (emotionally) for me!--- Today I have residual yukkies in my body, swollen glands and black under eyes down to my nose! but I MADE IT THROUGH!

The ONLY reason I tell you these things is to help you understand "me" better, ... I really hope so>>>> I have to put up with a lot to use this computer. BUT AT LEAST I'VE GOT ONE TO USE!! *LMAO* Not evoking pity (although tea & sympathy are enormously therapeutic to me... yeah

Hi Pixie Jane----- Yeah? What happened to MY "finale"????????? It got poofed over and over and over again!!!

Interesting to read how well you keep track of your paperwork. Virgo moon I hope everything is safe? I didn't fully understand where things stand now.

Thank you~ I had no idea my posts' timing was significant for you!

I haven't been at LL much these past few days, I've been super busy with housework and oddly enough feel like I don't have much to say about anything. Just in a silent mood.

But I just watched a documentary about Elvis and...wow, talk about good timing!...I came here and learned for the first time ever that there is an ELVIS asteroid! Minor planet, wiki says!

Thank you so much for bringing that up...after doing a little research I am flabbergasted. My Elvis is at 29.42 Libra, conjunct my father's Elvis at 0.49 Scorpio AND Elvis's Elvis at 0.23 Scorpio. Hmmmmmmm! Elvis is a fast minor planet; looks like it travels about two degrees per week, so this is truly uncanny!

Of course I'm sure I'm the only one who cares but geez, astrology can be downright spooky sometimes! And doesn't it just fit that I learn this from someone whose ASC is conjunct Elvis's?

I'm doing very fine emotionally--- cried it all out during the eclipse the other day... theme of "letting go"... (I'm laughing too because two 'anesthesia' asteroids [Davey 3605 & Priestly 5577] were nearby to take the edge off the most debilitating severe pain, so that I could deal with this pain... -- saw this AFTER the eclipse was all done!)

Keeping track of my paperwork?
OMG, I USED to have the most beautiful retrieval system... then after MANY moves, especially in the past two years, it's like my info got "shuffled"-- parts of it are perfect but in an imperfect location now. AND as I've 'grown' in my study of astrology and understand better and better, I've had to CHANGE what I was doing to let more spaces for the new things.... but as always, 'it's always good... may look or feel chaotic and impossible but will be very good again in the end'... It's torture to my Virgo Moon.... hehhehheh... Jupiter is almost through Gemini, will be hitting my SN-Mercury the last three days of May a couple weeks from now (after a Lunar 4.08' SAG-GEM eclipse near my Sun, 6th/12th axis! Subconscious / Unconscious - on 24/25th)

SPEAKING OF Flabbergasted--
I never looked at Elvis' Chart! OMG! He's got Sag Ascendant 12.22... mine is 11.30... USA is 12.21--- WOW!

Try looking at OUR COMPOSITE [Faith+Mirage] with
529,17059,26858,10,3063,16
Preziosa, Elvis, Misterrogers, Hygiea, Makhaon, Psyche

EDITED (for Faith....)

astrology is FULL of mystical magic-ness.....

(We'll HAVE to do a tribute thread in LL asteroids for 17059 ELVIS... just like we did 26858 MISTERROGERS ?!!

Faith... so good to see you get some relief... that's what eclipses can DO for us if we work with them...

EDIT

(Wanted to spend more time but now my BODY is overwhelmed from EXTRA-LOUD things in the environment........ gosh!! When I think of how much I could "do" if all this interference wasn't going on.... ! This is sooo discouraging... and painful physically. gotta go.... love you all. )

Good to hear you were doing fine and I hope you still are! It's amazing to me how much you know about asteroids! And anesthesia asteroids seem like they could be a godsend sometimes.

Hmm, I'm not astro-smart enough to make sense of that but will research and get a better grasp of the implications.

Coincidentally, I have a good friend born Aug. 16, 1977 and her ex-husband was born on Elvis' birthday. I knew her in college, we didn't pay any attention to each other, then reconnected by chance and hit it off great. We reconnected in the midst of my Elvis evolution. Seemed uncanny then!

Also my mother was born August 17.

Well thanks very much for looking this stuff up and sharing it with me. Big thanks for your interest in my Elvis infatuation when no one else cares at all!

I have some research to do with these charts and a busy week ahead but I'll be back eventually.

^ "Hmm, I'm not astro-smart enough to make sense of that but will research and get a better grasp of the implications" (Faith LL)

I understand about not feeling "smart" enough, Faith! I think you are VERY smart, and so am I, and so are soooo many others who gather here! The breadth of knowledge that 'all of us combined' possess is ASTOUNDING!!

As far as "smart" goes?

I think the deficit is more a "lack of exposure to an area" or experience in that area...

I just 'happened' on learning about composite charts. When I was still having difficulty with learning Synastry, I bought Robert Hand, Planets in Composite.

When I found how to do Composites, another part of the 'world of astrology' opened up to my mind! OMG ... it was like Helen Keller having a "W-A-T-E-R" experience! I spent time doing composites of all sorts. For example, Obama+USA to look at events is amazing. Me+Usa, then multi-composites, taking combined two-people measured up to group-together gets me sooo charged up with excitement! It is so real... You have to take the individual, then match them to the environment-together (composite) to get the setting or 'context'...

Like being in a drama. Two persons. Give them a background (Shakespeare), props, then ask them to talk to each other... (oh, I think I better spend more time describing my thoughts later... I've got big errands to run for tomorrow, too!

Experience + Smarts?
Would-you-believe.... ? Back in the 70s, 80s, 90s, I used to be VERY good at teaching computer-learning resistant older women how to master their office tasks on computers? Even introduced a department manager on how to get statistics about the company we worked for!

At that company I could help the programmer out by "using" his programs and "finding" how to 'blow up' ... yep, I had the computer-knack-- He hated that I could blow up the programs, but LOVED that the company could fix it before it went 'public'...

I had a scientific prog-analyst ex! One day, I had looked over his shoulder. He was having such a problem! It 'came to me' to say to him "use [whatever]".... The virgo-virgoMoon refused to believe me. FOUR hours later, he came to tell me that 'what I said' worked!!

I had taught myself how to play piano... (remember that post, Faith?) I wanted to take a certain music class. They wouldn't let me in BECAUSE I was both NOT-qualified and yet OVER-qualified --(story of my life! In testing me, I passed the 'intermediate piano level' for the Majors program at the University...

Funny: In the "keyboard" test, the staff/tester sat me in front of a studio grand piano and said "Key of C"! I pulled out ONE FINGER, and played middle-C to the octave. Then I declared, "I can do D, too?" Her voice was soooooo dry when she responded, "I bet you can!" She closed her briefcase. I got up and headed for the door. She asked, "Can you play anything?" I said, "I know Fur Elise!" She incredulously said in that same rasp, "You caaaan?" Well, she 'just happened' to have the sheet music in her briefcase. I played it sooo beautifully (the buttery Steinway grand piano... omg!!). In a whole other demeanor, she asked, "What else do you play?" I said Rachmaninoff Prelude in C#m! (at least the first part of it). She listened, and then made an appointment with me for Saturday. For FOUR HOURS, she listened and wanted to hear everything and anything I could play! (Makes me cry right now... That was so heavenly. It was the way I got through my abuse, and the way I managed to stay alive during my teen years, literally.--- Astrology is doing that for me, now.)

This woman was friends with the head music educator in the state, who volunteered to teach me how to do 'scales' and how to 'bring out' melody lines... I would be rewarded at the end by her playing me the most recent classical piece she was working on. One day, she began playing a Chopin Prelude... VERY difficult piece. She asked how I liked it! I said her playing was fine, but she didn't "hear" the melody line in it. I sang it for her--- it was that her accents (syncopations) were on the wrong places. AT FIRST, she was OUTRAGED at the (perceived) hubris on my part--- ME telling HER, the state educator! BUT she tried it my way... the next week, SHE couldn't wait to tell me, and to play more pieces for me for my advice!

WOW, tables turn, eh?

Something I learned "too late" in my life is that: I don't necessarily need to know ALL of EVERYTHING there is in order to have or "earn" the right to give an "opinion" about a thing... AND for it to be helpful, and a truly relevant observation or pointer. (NorthNode 1st SAG, T-NN on my Saturn-rx)

The more I live, the MORE explosions of 'common denominators' I see about the things of "life." And I don't know 'what I know' unless someone asks the right question.... But it seems that I don't fit the box of expectation--- I get passed over so much, or people get mad about my answer (then find out later it worked...).

And I think some people might think I'm vain. Really... maybe? But it's sad for me because I wasn't "allowed" to know anything--- because I was a girl in a man's world, because I was my mother's daughter. I "picked up" how "not" to be 'believed' and 'teach' people how.... I hate "personal" competitions, but love intellectual and philosophical ones that point away from the personal-me.

I incorporate this info in my posts under LIES LIES LIES..... because 'I'm so full of [word] that my eyes are brown! Maybe I do know how to sling around some bull. Afterall, I have SAGITTARIUS RISING! hooyah! and the Neptune square Jupiter Generational-Marker. But.... I do have some excellent promises that never came real--- because I didn't learn how to believe in myself.

Forgive me~~~ Getting on with some TRANSITS in my chart, soooo significant....

I've been being blasted and grated and irritated by environmental harm (sounds) for the past seven years. I stood it for SEVEN YEARS! It's like torture every day, only sometimes its 'just a little' and on other days it's helling-HUGE. I was in AGONY the other night.... My body was laying on my bed, with HVAC on my right and AC-compressor on my left, right outside the bedroom window. It is gnarly, and sooo old they don't make parts. There's the neighbor with an even BIGGER unit only 3 feet from that, and one behind the wall of my head. The refrigerator is OLD, and because it's "still working" it WON'T get replaced--- so gnarly, grunge, pitchy, high, shaking. LITERALLY, the actual ground shakes. My mattress shakes (not pleasant--darn!). Cars from 'hood members idle with their deep deep darkest engine vibes penetrating into my whole world. There is NO peace for me. Jets take off and land nearby airport, two lanes at a time--- roar can be terrific, one after the other for hours at a time.

I know some people want to make fun of this. Don't get me wrong---- I would LOVE to FILL the room with the sounds of being "present" at LIVE music! I want to feel as though I am "there"...

I love "worship experiences" at churches where the music is World-Class, and almost to that level of loud where you can barely stand it. I LOVE THAT!! Can "feel" it in my body--- It's such a high!

But with this SOUND problem I have, imagine "blowing a dog-whistle in front of a dog"..... YOU can't hear it.... but the DOG does!!

So anyway... I do not have "options".... If I leave here, I lose it all--- including computer, and my papers and books. I cannot 'afford' the shelters, and emotionally could not survive that environment again--- (PixieJane, you know it). I would end up unsheltered on the streets... which would endanger me because I'm too 'scared'--- you can't "look" scared, and you have to have connections (protectors) or you get hurt.

MANY people can't be saved, but I just have the 'demographic' where I MISS being QUALIFIED for many programs to help "the poor".... I don't count--- Not old enough, not young enough. Democrat. Not a church-member. Democrat. White. A Democrat!

I FIGHT despondency right now--- Looking Up! Believing in answers in a Land where Others are strong supporters of the Ayn Rand "self" philosophies-- go figure? I REFUSE to 'not believe' that there's no answer for me. I BELIEVE I have purpose and promise, and that God can Deliver me. I Believe that miracles in my life are possible.... I've lived too long NOT to Hope! I've 'seen' too much grace happen in others and my own life. How can I Not believe that God will make this okay, whatever condition...

529 Preziosa

Where's my God now, you laugh? I know His eye is upon me, and He's watching---- and I feel like I'm His Secret-Shopper!

(Thanks for Reading....)

WILL EDIT parts of THIS after it's been here a few weeks to a month, OKAY?

Padre, you make me laugh so hard!

"...high power perception is a dual edged sword. It creates insight but also builds boxes."

Padre... so much depth in that statement!

With seeing how this works in my life, maybe I can solve the riddle of this image. I think about Icarus and Daedalus in mythology...

If I can learn to manage and master the box, with all its intricate mazes, then perhaps I can help show the box 'for what it is'--- And this could help others unfasten their own latches. Awww heck! I 'know' the box already... how do I extricate myself?

I recall the scene with Jodi Foster in "Contact" where she was in the chair, and the chair was shaking so badly.... Her necklace broke from around her neck, she unfastened her self from the chair, and reached for it---- with perfect Peace.

*(Pay no mind to that man behind the curtains!! ~WizOz)*

PADRE, I respect your wisdom.... anything you want to ask, or discuss, please do so?

That goes for everyone who cares here.... We have SUCH HIGH QUALITY here at Lindaland. You are a resource to me.... Help me see what it is I don't see, but that it was "assumed" that I knew all along... ?
