Dawnings

 What a beautiful evening display we have for Spring sunset and twilight walks! Venus has emerged as the Evening star with Spica, Mercury and Mars rising with the crescent moon growing over the next few days – we have quite a treat to view in the evening skies.  Our ability to respond to beauty is a gauge and measure of our sensitivity and soulfulness. Drink deeply folks!

Wednesday 3rd September is Ganesh Day – a good time to send some blessings to those devastated by the floods in India. Ganesh brings good fortune and assistance to ‘overcome obstacles’.

From 3rd – 6th September, Saturn is dancing with the Sun in Virgo. For those now preparing to be flexible and adapt to the fine tuning (tweaking) of our human inter-relation with the environment, nature and our created civilisations – the expansive time ahead will bring much support. It is a good time to consider what is really useful in one’s life – people, our work, our accumulated junk, our communities and our habits. Faith – the times ahead will see massive transformations in our world. There will be gradually less of politics and more of responsible governance – it begins with our own lives. 

The Libran influence (Mars, Mercury and Venus are in Libra) is urging us to look at relationships: how we relate to the world of nature, to society, to each other and to our own Higher Selves, is being activated. What is out of balance will become quite apparent. What do we do about issues of social (in)justice and (in)equalities? Are our relationships creative, interested in life, supportive and nourishing? Watch people (enmasse) – ‘change’ their minds!

The combinations are interesting – how do the Business world and financial sectors relate to the people? How do the people relate to Governance? How does our society work? Tweaking by Reserve Banks and Boards is becoming a daily occurrence. Oops and ouch!

What worked yesterday is unravelling. This can be disturbing until we are willing to embrace the opportunity to grow and evolve.  The changes in the role of media outlets were hinted at it in the astrology file for 2008 [see Astrology Page] as ‘reporting’ and opinion based media gives way to much needed investigative journalism. People seek more truthful exploration.
Power mongering and egocentricities are creating overload in a world that is becoming more demanding of our essential need to adapt to survive.

Glamour and the surreal are thinly veiled outfits these days. ‘Tell ‘em their dreaming!’  The cliche from the Oz film: The Castle, is most appropriate as Neptune in Aquarius gently prods us to realise we have been asleep at the wheel. Ultimately we (humans) are recovering the long lost seed of our own divinity. As we find our own activating, so we can also begin to recognise this in all forms of life.  

There are increasing numbers of people being suddenly declared redundant as Big Business scurries to retain the same level of profiteering and applies cost cutting as a method of control. This reveals much about the personal climate and the people factor in those organisations. A new approach could be to ask for a round table of consultation and conferencing about the changes needed to adapt. The next cycle of human development and evolution (Aquarian Age) brings in a keynote of ‘we’ – the heavy handed feudalistic style is passé. A useful reference for those in business sectors is Peter Senge’s: ‘The Fifth Discipline’.

We are in uncertain times and Cyclone Gustav is threatening New Orleans. Michael Oppenheimer’s 30 minute lecture on Climate Change and Sustainability, may be helpful to watch – he concludes ‘we must adapt to uncertainty’ and become flexible. The Sun and Saturn together in mutable Virgo are supporting this wisdom. This means different methods of managing change will be needed. At least this time around, the US is more prepared to respond.

On Friday, 5th September, the Sun and Saturn conjunct in Virgo trine Jupiter in Capricorn: Big Corporations and old ways of thinking that try and hold back the tide of change will find that social consciousness is expanding. ‘Profit’ based economies will need to learn the meaning of sustainability and what Business is really all about – being busy and productive, in useful service to the world. Hoarding profits at the expense of the core essence of any organisation and its true purpose – is ludicrous – and this is becoming quite obvious.

Pluto about to surge direct (by 7th September) in Sagittarius reminds us that affluenza and glamour have had their day in the sun. The values of humanism and fairness in all our activities are emerging as vital to the Reformation that beckons. All our planetary civilisations will be transformed in the next two decades.  Now is a good time to realise the reality of this stage and embrace it. The seeking of quality and time in all our human activities and creations is stirring deep within the collective psyche. Our love of freedom – of time, space and choice – is emerging from this cycle which began in 1995 and is now closing. People speak now of discovering the emptiness of being materially wealthy and ‘time poor’.

We have a front row seat. Our Solar Village alignment with the Galactic Core is a once in 250 year cycle. On September 10th, the LHC* will send the particle beam around the loop. Think of the ancient esoteric symbol of the snake swallowing its own tail. This is scientists tweaking cosmic energies. By late October we shall have gained much insight into the nature of the Cosmos! [If we are still here in this dimension]. Planet Urth is Ray 3 – applied and active intelligence. We are here to play and experiment in a planet of dynamic diversity. Perhaps Saturn and the Sun in mutable Virgo will facilitate the tweaking of time. We do not know what will happen! I hope this will give us a new form of energy that can free humanity from its dependence on the old heavy and polluting industrial methods and technologies. If it is cosmic – universal – it will be easily accessed.

A reminder – that Virgo is also the sign of humour – that kind of satirical ability to laugh at ourselves and the insanity that seems to be surfacing on the news, television and internet. A sense of humour can be revealing and releasing. The spin is just spin.

A lot of the pretension has been in assuming that people in authority actually know what they are doing or talking about – the truth is more likely to be the unknown. It is this essential quality that defines the true scientist. It is indeed refreshing when we can say: ‘we do not know’ – without feeling inadequate. When we all pool together what little we DO know, the truth is more likely to be revealed. The spirit of discovery is a core quality of our souls.

Try watching Hotel Mauna Kea (Hawaii) for a cheerful lift of the spirits.

It IS good to awaken to truth and to a more realistic experience of life.

Blessings and Happy springtime in Ozland.

 Happy Full Moon week!

The waxing moon shall be glowing in a crystal clear sky for a few days. By Friday, we have rain predicted again. If you are out for an (brisk) evening stroll on Friday evening the full moon will be rising over the horizon with Jupiter in Capricorn. Exact at 6.00 pm Friday evening 18th July. AEST

 Venus will be setting at that time so look West for Venus in Leo and East for the Jupiter/Moon. That is if you are in Melbourne or along Australia’s East Coast. It all depends on where on the planet one is located.
 
The other side of this This Cancer/Capricorn axis will be energised when the Sun is in Capricorn January 2009. That is one of the delightful benefits of observing the sun/moon phases – we can watch the solar village planetary movements, the cosmic clocks in motion.
 
I was interested to read in Eric Francis’ fascinating article about Buckminster Fuller (see previous post) that he urged parents (and teachers) to ensure children understand how our planet moves in relation to the Sun and how the moon moves around the earth.
 
The Sun is fixed – we are on the move with the planet!
 
It’s all about perspective. We only have eyes in the front of our skulls so our (physical) perception is always looking in front of us and outward. One of the exercises to develop consciousness is to train oneself to see with the inner eye, above us, below us, right and left front and behind.
 
The aboriginal art which is now becoming more familiar across the global community, is dreamed by the artist who then awakens and paints the picture from his/her mind’s eye. They enjoy the ability to hold an aerial perspective.

 I have been pondering these wider perspectives and how they change and expand our consciousness. I am motivated to consider these factors whilst aware of deeper feelings and concerns for my own survival and well being.
 
This morning pre dawn’s ponderings revealed I enjoy and am acutely aware of, the built in diversity in our planetary world. I am not the same with each person I meet.  I am not the same each day. Everything keeps changing, we are constantly adapting. Within such an environment, we experience movement/energy and light/dark and time/space.

So it is also, in a dynamic world, our laws, policies and concerns; our belief, values and priorities, are also adapting. For anything to be alive, it is in perpetual change and motion, whether slow (mineral kingdom) or rapid (air and fire). 

What then IS fixed? Ah, the position of the sun – its nature is dynamic (vital) which gives us heat and light by being alive and continually giving out its energy.

NASA scientists are scratching their skulls trying to work out what the sun is doing at the moment. It seems to having a snooze.  They are ‘examining centuries of sunspot data’ records to determine whether this is some sort of cyclical season or is something new happening? 

Thing is our incarnating lifetimes are so short and we need wider perspective to see life in context.

A child takes 7 the first year cycle to adapt to the cycles of our physical nature. The physical mechanisms of our biology are impressed from the energies of Saturn (the timekeeper of the solar village). Saturn works on a 28 year cycle so 7 years is a quarter. The Saturn Return is a major rite of passage around 28-30 years of age and again around 56-58.

My biological form is entering my second Saturn Return and that is why I am consciously and purposefully preparing as an apprentice elder for the next grand cycle. 

I am personally delighted to witness the emergence of the ‘grandmother’ groups across the planet. Most appropriate for an aging population of Baby Boomers.

One of the observations I have enjoyed throughout my lifetime is that of Governance. It is indeed a joy to note Governments such as our new one in Ozland, creating Departments of Environment and Climate Change.
 
I am sure folk of the future will look back in history and marvel that the human population focussed more on economics for centuries than on the environment and climate.
 
In our time, now, the order of priority is shifting from economics to environment. The growing pains (caused by our need to adapt or become extinct), are arising because of the concerns expressed by industry, agriculture and commerce that caring about people and families, about land and nature, is so expensive.
 According to Pendulum, one of (four) primary Galactic Values we are required to express and demonstrate is that of: Care and Perpetuation of life.

 We are indeed, as a species, ‘getting the message’! Yay!
 
There’s a whale in Port Phillip Bay who managed to get past the dredger which is ripping apart a marine world at the heads for the projected expansion of commercial interests.  The beaches around the Bay are fast disappearing and dead fish are floating near the city.
 
Ooops!  What a Campus this Urth of ours is! We live and we learn.
 
Enjoy a dynamic week as we feel the energy build up for the Full Moon. Let off some steam by considering what are your own cares and concerns for the six months ahead. Stressful feelings and thoughts may emerge over these next few days with the Moon in Sagittarius beating the drum to Pluto’s tune. This too shall pass.

It’s all about expanding the inner consciousness and beliefs (Moon and Jupiter in Capricorn) and knowing what are our own values (Venus in Leo) at this stage of the Grand Plan. Prioritising is helpful with regard to practicalities. (Saturn in Virgo)

 By the time the cosmic clocks chime in January’s Full Moon, we shall be glad we have thought deeply about what we are doing and why.
 
 Blessing and Blessed Be.

Our Community Action project http://www.bayvigil.org is slowly emerging into our local part of the world and is being warmly welcomed and encouraged. It is very much 7th Ray in its design and appropriately concerns a Bay (Cancer) to be protected from interference (Mars). Big Industry and Corporate thinking is wanting to expand (Jupiter in Capricorn) but this is not the time nor the place.  These environmental issues will be very much part of our lives for the next few years until we develop a way of fulfilling our role of stewardship of the planetary world and taking care of our species (humanity).  

We have an intensely emotional and personal Christmas emerging. Earth changes and strong weather patterns along with basic instincts and needs arising to be considered.

Here’s wishing you a Holy, peaceful and inspiring Christmas.

Holy chuckles…

Welcome through the vortex to the next stage of our journey! Wow, and phew! Amazing amount of energy around. It is best to utilise it in some way. Let it flow on with blessings. 

Tomorrow the moon enters Aquarius and aligns with Chiron then on Saturday 15th December 2007 the moon conjuncts Neptune in Aquarius. If you are roaming around outside in the balmy summer night – you may get to see the annual Geminid showers.* They will be on show from midnight to dawn especially the  dates of 14th and 15th December. Holy Sprinkles!

Our new PM has just declared passionately to the world at the Bali Conference on Climate Change, that we are stewards of this planet and that’ we have no where else to go’.

We here in Victoria are very concerned about the proposed dredging of our beloved Port Phillip and Westernport bays for short term monetary gain. The Blue Wedges Coalition* is taking the matter to the Federal Court on 10th January 2008. On 8th January 2008, I am calling all lovers of our Bays to a Vigil of Light. May we surround the Bays with people holding torches and lanterns to declare and demonstrate our concern. The letter below says it all. Please share this call for responsible stewardship of our beautiful planet.

To the Victorian Government:

We, the people, have presented you with a mandate to STOP your plan to dredge Port Phillip Bay. Your press statement explains that

How many people’s livelihoods are you prepared to ruin? Who stands to gain? Not the marine life, nor the swimmers, the sailors, the fisherfolk, the tourist trades, the walkers and joggers around the bay, the estates along the shoreline, the children who play at the water’s edge, the divers or the marine scientists.

One hundred years of toxic silt and sludge stirred up and redumped in our Bay – for monetary greed? Two years of non-stop noise and vibration from a monstrous depth machining process will ruin the peaceful ambience and drive many people insane. The widening and deepening of the channel WILL change the tides.

Why is this proposal still being relentlessly pursued? 

We, the people, have said and still say, NO to the dredging of Port Phillip Bay.

Our PM has just spoken to the World Conference in Bali about our human stewardship of this planet. The Port of Melbourne and Victorian Government officials are included in that stewardship. You KNOW the consequences – that is why you have pushed through legislation to ensure you cannot be sued for damages to people’s livelihoods. Fair Go Mate!

You are on notice.

On the night of 8^th January, we shall line the shores from Portsea to Queenscliff in a Vigil of Lights to show the world we care.

Hilary Allen

Blessings!

 It started around 1967 – a spontaneous outburst of revolutionary enthusiasm for a world of Love and celebration of Life. A mass cultural Renaissance that led to Woodstock – spurned on by global music and the urgency of a world being once again led into futile war.

Then by 1987, the Quiet Revolution united, inspired directly by intuitive awareness and a network of soul-awake humans dedicated to the earth itself as well as humanity. Jose Arguelles led the project with the fusing of science and spirituality and empowered millions to anchor the Grid of Light upon the planet, that all may benefit from an expanding consciousness. This was the Harmonic Convergence.

Now, in 2007, Shelley Yates uses the internet and brings forth the third externalisation of what has been a fourth dimensional network of Light.  www.firethegrid.com/index.htm

What actually is ‘The Grid?’

A century ago, Nikola Tessla theorised that a gridwork of energies runs through the surface of the planet. On a fourth dimensional plane, a Collective Consciousness exists which is faithfully enhanced and strengthened each Full and New Moon, each alignment and Gateway by intrepid Lightworkers who join across the world, nurturing and anchoring in the Light of Mind, the Love in the heart and the encouragement of empowerment through our own free will. Most are directly inspired and guided through their own intuitive awareness which links heaven and earth. Many more are involved in prayer groups, meditation groups and ashrams. A larger group are those who want to learn how to do this and who are magnetically drawn to participate and join those who celebrate being alive and being awake.
Carl Jung’s work on the Collective Unconscious provides a framework for understanding how humanity as a whole, as a species, is able to ‘link in’ or ‘tune in’ to a collective base of information and knowledge, of awareness and wisdom. Most people own to inspiration and ideas filtering through to their intellects from this plane, through dreams, through meditation and through day-dreaming states of awareness. Perhaps our conscience also comes from this realm – there is much for us to discover.

The Grid has been firmly anchored into the surface of the planet. It is a new grid, of Light and of inspiration for the entire planetary world. Perhaps, as we are now aligning with the Galactic Core; perhaps, because of the urgent need to awaken a sleepy populace entrenched in treadmill lives and the density of distracting materialism, perhaps because of the planets obvious distress – then now is the time to activate the Grid.

On Tuesday Evening , July 17th at 9.11 pm AEST, groups and individuals along the Eastern Coast of Australia will be picking up the wave which starts in New Zealand. The time is co-ordinated so that the Grid is fired simultaneously. It will be at 11.11 am Greenwich Time. The Moon will be conjunct Venus at the Sphinx point of 0 degrees Virgo. This implies an evolutionary theme is activating.

Our task is simple: to align with our Highest sense of Being, and our heartfelt love of our planetary world and to invoke the energies of the Cosmos, that which is in harmony with the Creative Impulse of Life itself. Drawing it down through our own beings, into the core of the earth, then breathing this energy back to the surface and along the Grid, we will be activating the energetic networks that connect us across our global world.

This conscious, purposeful and co-ordinated project is embracing of all beings – uniting us as souls beyond any beliefs, creeds, cultures, races, ancestral lines or localities.

It is our planet and our world and we are sovereign Here and Now. We are responsible for our world. We are alive in it and on it. This group project is an opportunity to share and own this reality, imbuing the planet with Love and with the Light of Mind.

May Light, Love and our collective power, restore, manifest and preserve the Divine Plan for Earth.

Mercury has resumed its role in the outer world and our minds turn our focus from a period of inner reflection and contemplation to the outer world.

Our moody Moon which waxes and wanes and has such a powerful effect upon our feelings and emotions begins to receive and reflect back to us the Sun in Cancer. We call this the New Moon phase and it seems to be just as powerful for our evolving emotional bodies as the Full Moons. In local Ozland this occurs on Saturday, 14th July 2007 at 10.05 pm Melbourne AEST. Later that evening, a beautiful mystical rectangle forms for a moment in time at around 11.11 pm on the Peninsular and 11.12 pm in Melbourne surrounds. This provides us with a wonderful evening for quiet ponderance and embracing of oneself in the merging of body, emotions, mind and soul.

The Bigger picture emerges as we spiral out again from the cave of ourselves to the Universe in which we Live.

In the wake of an intensive period of awareness the human species may well discover it has changed. There is a difference between thinking and consciousness. The expansion of our consciousness brings a larger view of Life. Our Global world seems smaller, our human family very much intertwined. The Pluto in Virgo group born from 1957 to 1972 is now emerging as a new influential force in our societies and these are thinking people.

In this change that is rising over the horizon, questions are being asked, data is analysed and reality is a challenge to apply our thinking minds to find solutions.

The past habitual behaviour of the mass (Cancer and Leo) humanity accepting that what we are told by leaders, (Saturn in Leo), as the Truth, no longer suffices. We have changed. We are maturing. We suspend our beliefs in the face of reality. This is the effect of the increasing Light and expansion of our consciousness. This is the effect of a global world, nurtured by new technologies, media, internet, satellite pictures, education and shared experiences.

The esoteric perspective of our human evolution explains how we as a species, are evolving through cycles – the spirallic unfolding of the human potential. So far, the mass species, is about halfway through that process. The solar plexus center which has nurtured our experience of power, will and energetics is now urging us to open and exercise the heart chakra. This is why our Avatars and Spiritual mentors of the current cycle (past 2, 500 years) have been guiding us towards a realisation of the need to develop Love and Compassion, Mercy and understanding.

Our primary concern is the Care and Perpetuation of the Species into which we are invited to incarnate as souls and hence experience the physical world directly. In that symbiotic relationship we have with nature, we implicitly change and evolve the species itself.

Ahead in our most immediate future we have a period of 20 years or so when we shall be required to transform our civilisations in accordance with the Evolutionary template. This is held in the Galactic Centre and inspired (activated) by alignments which place our solar system in streams of energy. Sirius guides our consciousness and minds that we may be aware of what is occurring. Our scientists, astronomers, psychologists, teachers, film makers, story tellers, historians, inventors, artists, philosophers, writers, and thinkers assist in this process.

What has changed and will continue to transform us humans, is the realisation that we can and shall no longer be content to be blindly led and told what to do, what is real, how we should think and live and be. This applies to all areas of our lives: workplaces, homes and family life, education, media, politicians, scientists, systems of law, health professionals and yes, even our own programmed brains and previously unconscious memories. The subsequent attraction of conscious co-creating is becoming more sensible and functional than a few (just fellow humans like ourselves) leading, influencing and directing the lives of the many.

When the Mind activates, it invites the Soul to participate and utilises the brain to operate as a thinking organ. Intelligence, inspiration, creativity, analysis, intuition, sentience, awareness and consciousness are rapidly becoming natural and required/desired characteristics of a functioning human.

There is much more of our human potential and our natural world to discover. There is much to do as we adjust to our changing consciousness and to a changing and dynamic planetary life. This means acknowledging this within ourselves as people and as a necessary species response.

On a personal level, Venus is triggering lots of thinking and evaluation. Relationships, locations for living, lifestyles, beliefs, paradigms, assumptions and habitual unthinking behaviour are under the spotlight. Everything is being audited: from food preparation, processing and prices to political structures and religious influences on our lives, petrol prices, housing needs, energy requirements, infertility, patterns of ‘working for a living’, and social expectations … the veils are thinning and what seemed solid and real yesterday is fading in the Light of tomorrow.

This can be painful and it can drive us to insanity if we focus on the details only and not the Bigger Picture, the Holographic view that we now enjoy of our world. These changes encourage the emergence of our human creative genius. We can and do Create Beyond What Is.

The QED, the bottom line, is the knowing that we have innately within us the seeds of a genetic code and human potential that is designed to adapt and grow and change and create and recreate and spiral on – to evolve.

Amidst the distractions and confusion, may this New Moon present us, the human species, with a moment in Time: A moment of realisation that we are Spirit in Matter and we are conscious of being Here and Now and that it is good to be alive. May we find comfort in our being.

Blessings,

Hilary

Today is the 7th July 2007 and metaphysically inclined Children of Light are joining together with intent.

The magnetic attraction of the magical repitition of 07/07/07 is exciting to chant and feel as a template for co-operative and co-creative spirits.

In seven countries, starting here in the city of Sydney on the East Coast of Ozland, there will be Live Earth concerts to celebrate our glorious planet. Yes, there are 7 days of the week, 7 colours of the Raybows of Light, and 7 chakras  – the template for the fully human.  The 7th Chakra is the crown chakra. It enables us to experience directly, the unification and wonderment, the magnificence and inspiration of the Godforce in our world and in ourselves. 

Have a wonderful 7/7/7 fellow habitants of the Global world we call Urth!

The Meeting of our Hearts brings Love into the world.

The Meeting of our Minds brings Light into the world.

The Merging of our Spirits is our Calling.

We are Here, Now.

May this pooling of Light, Love and Power help to restore, manifest and preserve, the Divine Plan on Urth.

Blessings,
