Tell her – She’s dreamin’!
Ah! Those words immortalised from the Oz Movie, The Castle! Well, Neptune is still being confronted by Saturn; Mars is in Aries; Sun and Mercury in Gemini, so it IS a grand time to be dreaming, sounding off and lettings words express our feelings.
Esoterically, from the lofty planes of the Higher Mind, Gemini time is when we face the duality theme. Chess is a fascinating game: Kings and Queens, Bishops and Knights and the dear little pawns at the front line.
The mass of humanity is being showered with light codes urging us to learn to THINK and ask lots of questions of ourselves, and of the worlds we have created.
Two Examples are at the forefront of my intellect…
1. The evolution versus creation arguments. Well, if a human evolves naturally it will inevitably become spiritually aware and integrate that into the aeons of experience it carries within its genetic and soul knapsack. If another human opts for fast-tracking thru to the heavenly realms via knowledge, discipline, practical application and expanding consciousness, then it naturally advances the evolution of the species anyway. So where’s the dichotomy? It’s all a matter of choice (Gemini). Both scientists and religious/spiritually minded people can be fundamentalist and very 6th Ray devotional to their own particular sacred cows. The real issue seems to be how to integrate and include ALL that is at our disposal and weave thoughts, experiences, ideas and wisdom into the tapestry of human life.
The Gemini /Sagittarius axis tells us that all duality comes together when we focus on a common goal. Perhaps the challenge of survival shall be enough…
2. The business versus workers ideology, currently being played out in Ozland as Liberals versus Labour. Well, how can the two NOT be reconciled? How does the most crass of Business moguls make his/her millions by exploiting workers and Not consider their worth? ‘Use many-to make much-for a few’ – that’s the modern day mantra, isn’t it? And how do workers have jobs and work to do in the world if businesses don’t create them? The deeper issue here seems to harken back to the old argument between the Gods, Enlil and Enki, over whether humans should be relegated to the worker bee/ant cul de sac of evolution and/or can they evolve and learn by their own free will?
Since mass humanity in the most progressive countries of the world still bow to the Governments that continue this game, the pawns must like their role. Watching Parliament late at night is still agony for me. Blustering egos and clever answers are NOT my idea of good leadership. Claims of successful strategies for low employment at a stage of humanity’s cycles when there are increasingly fewer people to fill the jobs… hello?! Huge surpluses that are used to bolster programs not thought through nor chosen by the people, but are expedient to current political gain…hello?! By the way, those huge surpluses of $$$ have been accrued thru GST and direct taxes creamed from the people. The pawns accept the illusion of security as a trade off: “If I can just get through to the other side” it thinks, “then I can claim back my cherished dreams and values that I had to sacrifice along the Way”.
Well, dear politicians, company moguls and power mongers, one of the benefits of Truth is simply that you don’t have to lie about it! That’s the power of Sagittarius.
Sack the lot of them and assign to the important role of leadership, only those who have demonstrated an ability to think deeply and carefully about the past, present and future of the human populace, the land itself, and a civilised way of being. That includes, of course, the ability to move beyond the whole game of Chess and duality and draw the people, the land and the Plans together into a dynamic and living nation. [One goal]
And while they are chewing the cud over this, think about the consequences of NOT considering the land, nature, changing climatic conditions and decreasing human fertility/inclination to reproduce. Superannuation won’t be much use if there isn’t any viable world left on the planet.
Decades ago, at University, we were taught about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
Current leaders across the world ignore this theory. Apparently entertainment, power mongering, lotsa money and social status are far more important than the survival and care of the species: clean water, air, food and shelter are just pawns in a greater game.
I wonder if evolution AND the Gods are going to yell ‘CHECKMATE’?
There now, I feel better!
*** Blessings of the Festival of Humanity. The Full Moon is exact on June 1st, (Friday 11.05 am AEST). There follows a few days of a grand trine in fire. Inspirational, yes. Can we find common goals to draw us all together into an evolving, spiritually aware species? One that embraces lots of wonderful ideas about how we can live, love, work, play and be free?
I’d like a dome house please. Built with eco friendly materials, by a team of people that like what they are doing. Solar energy and water recycling units, of course. Yes, I am willing to grow vegies, care for animals, teach children, write stories and weave cloth as my contribution to the community.
Yeah, tell her – she’s dreaming!

No commentsOpen to the Light
We humans have an amazing capacity for denial and pretense. Like the monkey that chooses to ’see no evil’ , we prefer to go about our daily lives on the treadmill than to be conscious. The distractions carefully orchestrated by societal seemingly imperative concerns, mask well, the truth of what is truly important. In today’s modern world, this IS part of the EVIL, (reverse of LIVE).
We are in the cosmic planetary cycle of the downloading of the Codes of Light. The Sun is in Gemini, the mind is awake and very active.
At this point in time, we are also experiencing Mars in Aries which is annoying and irritating. Inflammation of thoughts and feelings – the angst- may well divert us from what is really occurring. Venus in Cancer is hilighting the need to Care for the Species, be the species whales, bees or humans! Cancer also indicates the needs to feel safe, to be needed and protected and cocooned. This is imperative during the vulnerable stages of growth. Our homes can be sanctuaries or prisons. If fear and insecurity rule from the subconscious, then we are creating prisons in our gilded cages. The unconscious motivations are often too sensitive and painful to acknowledge and the Mars in Aries is aggravating our wounds.
Try and be calm in the centre of the storm. Give yourselves time to rest and reflect upon what is pouring through us as enlightenment,awareness and yes, truth. The time to act will always be dependent upon the seasons and the finding of fertile ground. Intuitive knowing can only emerge when we allow our mental anguish, unconscious needs and drives, and inspiration, to meld and merge and flow into our life streams as nurturance.
As the moon waxes to carry the Light Codes to Humanity and the Planetary Kingdoms, it flows thru those who are already somewhat conscious. What we exeperience now, the sleepy masses will also experience.
The source of the Light (cause) may be the same, but the responses (effects) will be as diverse as the number of souls ready to receive it. Therefore, as ideas stream forth into your mind, and unconscious needs, wishes and drives erupt from the depths, give yourself the blessing of TIME to reflect. Jot down dreams, insights, flashes of knowing. The jigsaw puzzle will take shape slowly but surely.
We have much to learn, much to be revealed, much to know and oh so much to create and do ahead in the cycles unfolding. The impulses come in waves. The sense of urgency is part of the quickening. Acknowledging the seeds when they emerge is recognition of worth. Human Potential is rich fertiliser and it is the greatest investment we have. *
Notice what is happening and observe. But be reserved in one’s actions, for the rawness of Aries can leave much pain and harm in its wake. To be conscious, deliberate, purposeful and responsible takes TIME to learn and apply. That is why maturity and wisdom are the rewards and gifts of a long and strenuous (yes, painful) journey.
The Truth SHALL oust…and then what we do in response is the test of our true character and being. Can we take it? Are we evolved enough to be honest and transparent? Are we truly ready to change our ways and behavior?
TIME will tell…
Blessings.

Earth Abides
We can enjoy the clear night sky of a New Moon in Taurus for deep ponderance upon the materialism that has swamped our consciousness for too long.
This is the mid point of the Shamballa cycle. The downloading of the Buddhic and Christ energy is at its rest point. The encoding of Light is a slow and careful process. It is not a saturating and overwhelming epiphany. Rather, it is careful and thoughtful experience whereby that which is appropriate for each of us personally, may filter into our everyday consciousness in the subtle ways: through dreams, glimpses, sensing, perhaps the flutter of an idea.
Like the flowers in the photo, we are growing a new way of being upon the old material consciousness that has blocked our spirits and drained our own energies and the earth’s resources.
This is the time to feeeel the ability to grow anew, in more naturally beautiful and sentient forms. The mystery of life is there for us to know. The current preoccupation with manifestation, prosperity, having what we want – the modern packaging of The Secret – is a distraction for it ties us back into the loop that denies the essence of Life itself. Nurturance of Life and embracing of the Life force will bring back the bees. Increasing personal wealth for few at the expense of the many, will not.
Politicians have been preoccupied with what will sustain their power base and what will maintain control of the economy and societies. They too, will indeed begin anew, seeking instead the Path of knowing, of Wisdom, of the nurturance of Life and usefulness.
Soldiers will be too busy assisting in the caring of people to be preoccupied with destruction of civilisations, cultures, creeds and humans that are not their concern.
And we the People? A local shopkeeper suggests that we all go on strike at the next election and refuse to vote at all, for the social system as it is does NOT serve us, our children or even our current lifestyles. We laughed at the ridiculous notion of party politics artificially divided between Liberal (business) and Labour (the workers). Should he vote one way, and his staff the other? It is indeed time for round table politics, for bi-partisan and concerted cooperative efforts to find and implement solutions that are constructive and nurturing of life, of people, of our very earth itself.
Now is the time to jot down those flickers of insights, those wisps of ideas, those slowly growing realisations.
By the Full Moon on June 1st, ALL of humanity will be showered upon and shall be growing anew.

Nurturing the Species
* The following quote is copied from this week’s article by Judith Gayle at Planet Waves Astrology domain.
[The original intent of Mother's Day was such a realization by Julia Ward Howe in 1870, at the close of our bloody Civil War. You may recognize the name as the author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." With her nation suffering the loss of so many sons, Julia came to realize that war had little to do with a mother's heart, and less with respect for her opinion. She resolved to change that, calling women together with these words:
Arise, then, Christian women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be that of water or of tears! Say firmly: "We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country, to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs." From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says: "Disarm, disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice." Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence indicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel.
Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them then solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, man as the brother of man, each bearing after his own kind the sacred impress, not of Cæsar, but of God.
The original intention of Mother's Day was a peace proposition. Howe quickened a peace movement that spread through the nation and Europe. It was not set aside as a day of commemoration until 1914, and quickly became -- as most holidays do -- a way to market goods. And a successful one. Hallmark sells more cards on Mother's Day than at any other time of the year.]
Thank you Judith Gayle!
Mars is still in Pisces but getting ready to enter Aries. Irritability and wounding is surfacing. Pluto on the Galactic Core is confronting our deepest feelings.Mother’s Day is looming and illusions, disillusionments, disappointments and pain from lack of loving in our lives is bubbling up. This can help us to all to realise what we need to nurture in ourselves and our lives.Venus in Cancer and Sun in Taurus brings comfort if we open ourselves to our wanting to feel comforted.
By Sunday evening around 8.30 pm (AEST), the moon in Aries squares Venus in Cancer. Yes, once we are born and the umbilical cord is cut, we ARE on our own folks! All else is carefully constructed social survival techniques.
Perhaps then, what we seek and need as humans, is to be honest about how we feel – that our very existence is to be protected, kept safe and nurtured. So mother yourself and wonder at the amazing process of nature at its best… Blessings of life, of warm comfort on cold nights, of loving hugs and encouraging words. Maybe even a cup of soup.

No commentsIn appreciation
We have completed the ceremonial period of Wesak, and now we hold within us, the blessings of Buddha and the Christ. These are ours to savour, to digest and to contemplate for the next few weeks.
By the New Moon in Taurus on the 17th May, we will feel and know what these streams of energy are showing us for our own personal lives and that of the kingdoms in our world. For most of May, we will have the Sun streaming forth with the abundance and earthy natural beauty that is the blessing of Taurus.
When I began my journey around the planet I was aware of the message from ShaVrill at the Lecture in March – that our journeys to sacred places are to give gifts to the earth, not just to drain them of their power. Yes, we receive when we are in high energy places, but if the conscious ( or often unconscious) motivation is to GET, then we may be missing out on the opportunity to move into the next phase of evolution, that of CO – creation.
Here at this Shrine to Ganesh in Kauai there are flowers, oranges and shells which are gifts from devotees. I felt immensely grateful when I was there and that sense of contented gratitude stayed with me for my journey, right until I returned home and experienced heart-strong appreciation for my cottage and friends and the life I have. This perhaps then is one of the more subtle effects of Taurean energy. That we can for a few moments, feel contentment and appreciation for the natural beauty, for our own lives and yes, for the goods and chattels that bring comfort.
Blessings to you all, With much appreciation for the brother/sisterhood that IS everywhere…
Lovingly, Hilary

Conscious of Life
We have an amazing opportunity to experience directly and intimately, the dynamic of nature when we incarnate onto planet Urth. It is always changing somewhere in some way.
The pic here is from a postcard showing lava flowing into the sea in Hawaii. New land mass is being birthed. The Hawaiin spirit of Aloha is a cultural reminder for us all of the spirit of Life.
We humans in biological form experience the hard density of rock and mountains, the power of heat and fire, the forces of air and wind in hurricanes, of water in Tsunami’s, water spouts, torrential rain and erosion by the sea. Currently, we are experiencing the earth in a shake,rattle and roll time with earthquakes and tremors rumbling around in the pacific region.
As the Moon grows towards it fullness, it is building the energy into a fixed Grand Cross with the Sun in Taurus reflected by the Moon in Scorpio and Chiron in Aquarius facing Saturn in Leo. Humans are awakening to the importance of water, of feelings and of their own ability to adapt. This is being assisted by the trine from the moon in Scorpio to the Karmic Node in Pisces. Our destiny and fate may seem to be fixed by the Gods of Creation and ultimately determined by nature which creates and dissolves forms. Yet we enjoy a consciousness and personal will as Humans AND the innate ability to adapt, to heal and grow.
This is the Taurus Full Moon, the festival of Wesak. It is exact here in Ozland around 8.10 pm (AEST)on the evening of Wednesday 2nd May. It is traditionally known as Buddha’s birthday moon. It is also known to be the time when the Buddhic Plane of being – the Higher Mind and Ultimate Consciousness levels we can reach as souls incarnate in human physical bodies on the planet in this region of the Galaxy anyway – and the Christ, merge and bless the earth and its kingdoms for the year ahead. The energetic stream is available to us and we all access this in some way according to our personal receptivity and sensitivity.
What seems fixed may yet dance in the creative process of change; what seems so mutable and elusive may yet be starkly apparent. The spiritual gift of Consciousness we associate with the Buddhic, the Gift of Love with the Christ. We are invited to develop these gifts by existing here in this space (planet Urth) at this time. By partaking in the experience we enhance and nurture our own spirits. This is soul food time folks, a chance to grow.
Enjoy the feast! Take a peek at what new solid ground is being sought and is now in the early stages of formation.
