Saturn square Pluto

Saturn is Square Pluto: Only discipline and intense focus will help to transcend insecurity and illusion!

With this aspect, it is likely that you will feel quite restricted by social and environmental constraints, and that the influence of the society in which you live will have considerable impact upon your life, often appearing to be a negative one.

Frustration appears to be inevitable; and you may feel that you are having to carry 'a burden for society', where you are involved in some way with a personal responsibility for some of society's troubles. This could be a form of work which takes you into problem areas, or even a sense of inner attunement to the suffering of the world. There is a form of linking between your personal unfoldment and growth and the struggles of mass humanity, one which you may experience or interpret in a peculiarly masochistic manner, or use as an excuse for personal failings.

Some of this tendency could arise from earlier life and parental relationships and conditioning, possibly from environmental deprivation of lack of fulfilling and meaningful contact with your parents and family. This can lead to a pattern of personal disappointments and lack of essential trust in life and the world, leaving you emotionally marked and feeling insecure in your own abilities and talents. You may feel 'hard done by', and feel envious of others who appear to be enjoying life and succeeding; there can be a 'chip on your shoulder' and a corrosive inner bitterness affecting your basic attitude.

When you do make extra efforts to make progress towards your aims, you often feel that you are being strangely hindered by events, people and circumstances which arise to frustrate, divert and block your attempts. Even though it may not appear so, this is likely to be the result in the outer world of inner projections, where through your own attitudes of defeatism and fear of success you trigger a reaction in the world to oppose you. You can create your own failure without consciously realising it.

You tend to be searching for status, power and the opportunity to influence people's lives, much in the same way that you feel your own life has been affected by nameless unknown others who make socially influential decisions. There is an element of wanting to dominate within you, possibly to 'get your own back' through blaming others for any problems that you have had.

To transform this oppressive pattern of limitation, you will need to radically alter your outlook on life and your self. The Pluto energy will help you to achieve this; and the first step is to draw back all the projections that you are overlaying on the world, and to recognise those that place the reason for failure 'out there'. You need to accept responsibility for your own life, decisions and choives, and begin to take control instead of being a frustrated, passive reactor.

Many have transcended difficult environmental barriers through assertiveness and effort of will, succeeding in breaking limitations and creating a life that satisfies them; and you need not be the exception to this possibility: the solution lies in your own psyche. Chooise to change, observe the repetitive patterns of excuses and lack of commitment to succeed, and then override them through discipline and concentrated will. You are that 'mysterious barrier' opposing your own efforts; release the negativity that you cling to, and it will seem that a new world will open up for you, where you can begin to make progress, a world where more light can penetrate and illuminate the darkness. Remember, it is your own choice to remake your own life.

I Stand in the Kingdom

Why am I so happy?

Because I stand in the Kingdom.

I don't have the money,

But I stand in the Kingdom.

There is darkness within me,

But I stand in the Kingdom.

I don't have all the answers,

But I stand in the Kingdom.

The beast runs amok in the world,

Still I stand in the Kingdom.

People are starving,

Suffering,

Weeping for the touch of spirit;

And I weep FOR them,

Because, they stand in the Kingdom, just like me,

They just don't know it.

Someone was born today;

I stand in the Kingdom.

Someone died today;

I still stand in the Kingdom.

The people's pain reverberates in me,

And their pain is being used to eat our beautiful planet alive.

If they only knew.

If I could only tell them:

"YOU STAND IN THE KINGDOM!

YOU STAND IN THE KINGDOM!

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE,

WHERE YOU ARE,

OR HOW YOU ARE,

YOU STAND IN THE KINGDOM!

A KINGDOM WITH NO BORDERS, BOUNDARIES, OR LIMITATIONS;

A KINGDOM IN WHICH NOTHING IS UNTOUCHED:

YOUR HANDS ARE THE KINGDOM.

YOUR EYES ARE THE KINGDOM.

YOUR ORGANS ARE THE KINGDOM.

YOUR EMOTIONS ARE THE KINGDOM.

YOUR THOUGHTS ARE THE KINGDOM.

SO, NOT ONLY DO YOU STAND IN THE KINGDOM,

IT STANDS IN YOU!!!"


I would go on and on,

But nothing and no one can teach them to see this;

To see this foundational truth that

We all stand in the Kingdom of the CREATOR,

So that makes this a paradise.

The Kingdom of the CREATOR stands in us,

And that makes us royalty.
I had a very powerful dream this morning. I dreamt that I was a young man, son of an African Queen (It felt like Egypt). There was news that her baby was gone. The feeling was that it had been kidnapped. I ran amongst the female messengers to the Queen, and once she was told, she began to take the many-colored jewels around her neck and seemingly begun to try to choke or hang herself. I cried out "No, no" but it turned out the Queen was not doing so. She was simply taking off her jewels and dropping them to the ground. They partially shattered upon impact. Then she began to wail, and all the female advisors followed suit. I was caught in the emotional of pure pain, grief, and loss as women began to chant a hymn in another language with a beautiful melody. I felt so connected to all who were weeping, and even in the midst of sorrow, my heart opened so much. I woke up from the dream crying.

What does this dream mean? I think it was a past life, something/someone I felt I'd lost--my younger sibling.

Crazy!

WHO IS SATAN?

Why is this a subject for me? Because I have experienced a slice of a new level of awareness in which I sense in my being, beyond mental babble, that all is illusion.

Using my mind to dissect this feeling further, I see that the being known as Satan, Maya, The Devil, and other various names is simply a master of illusion. He knows that life is but a dream at a deep level, and uses this knowledge to manipulate the ignorant into creating hellish realities for him. He will use any tactic to get his prey to believe that this is all real, and that they are powerless against him.

However, since Satan is master of illusion, nothing could be further from the truth. He is, in fact, infintely WEAK. Why? Because like all things, Satan is an expression of the Creator, but because Satan thinks himself the enemy of the Creator, it is safe to assume that he HATES the Creator within himself. In hating himself, he denies his true divine power, and because he is so polarized in his hate, he becomes completely powerless. Nevertheless he retains his knowledge of the nature of reaity, and understanding it is completely fake, he seeks out those with tremendous creative potential, and plots to make them ignorant of how existence really works, if they are not already.

To make powerful creators ignorant, Satan must implant a special tool: fear. Fear is as illusory as the Devil himself. It is the false premise or excuse that something is more powerful than you, and thusly you must give you power to it. The irony is that Satan is POWERLESS! And when you give your power to him, that is the only power he has. But Satan is also a magician. He pulls those sleight-of-hand tricks all the time to get you to give him your creative power--the very same power that he has denied within himself.

But why does Satan feel the need to manipulate? Satan is but a step away from creating his own paradise as a fully-realized Divine Being. BUT. Satan himself is AFRAID of this state of awareness. Yes, he has fear. He fears he will not exist, because, of all his wealth of knowledge into the workings of reality, he firmly believes in separation. He wants to always exist as he is, and not to merge into BEING that he TRULY is. He also thinks he doesn't deserve this awareness, though he's way too proud to admit it. So he takes his own fear of true realization and implants it into beings that are less knowlegable than he. If the beings are not AWARE, they can be easily deceived, and Satan has the go-ahead to create hell whereever he 'goes'.

Of all these things I have told you, this last point will shock you: SATAN IS US. How could anything else be true? How would he know what to tempt you with? How would he know your weaknesses, your fears? Does he have spies in the spiritual realm sneaking in on the distortions of your soul? I say no. He IS you, and you ARE he. Satan, in the respect I am writing about, IS THE ILLUSION FEAR, the mechanism that fools you into giving up your power. (Giving up power is another illusion because the power is always yours, you are just made to believe it is not.)

This post reminds me of a story I read about the Buddha a while back. One day, the Buddha was meditating under a tree, when Maya, the master of illusion (another satan figure) attacked him. Maya created a barrage of 'missiles' to destroy the Buddha. The Buddha knew this attack was false, so, unmoved by this display, placed his hand onto the grassy earth. Upon doing so, all the missles became beautiful flowers.

Because Buddha understood Maya's nature, because he had mastered himself, he had mastered Maya. Maya/Satan is part of us all, and will use any tactic to keep us in illusion. However, if we remain steadfast in who we really are, and intimately understand our patterns that don't serve us, we will see Satan for who he really is, and alchemically transform him into light that DOES serve us on our path to know ourSelves better.

Do not fight Satan. Fighting Satan means you have already made up in your mind that he is an opponent to be fought, and this very thought ALONE gives him power. Keep your power which has never left you. FOCUS! Focus on who you are: the good and the bad--judge neither. Even when the times get rough, and it seems the illusion is looming over you, ready to consume you, remember who you are. Remember the unspoken. Remember the Source--remember the TRUEST TRUTH of all things, and you can whether the storm; you will transcend all lies.

ISDIIY,

It Will Not Be The CHANGE You Expected!

By Leon Fisher


When the euphoria over the election of Barack Obama wears off, and the uncertainty of a rapidly deteriorating economy and the revulsion of the continuing bloodletting in the Mid-east begin to once again penetrate the thick skulls of the naive and gullible fools who were taken in by the mass media election hype wake up, they will find to their disappointment the same corrupt and incompetent government in Washington whose irresponsible policies have brought America to the edge of the abyss.


Obama, despite all his rhetoric of change and hope, has no intention of carrying out the will of the people, nor does he have the power to do so.


Contrary to the propaganda of the mass media, and the adoration of his mindless devotees, Obama has not come from the wilderness to lead the chosen ones out of the ever deepening morass of war and economic chaos to some utopian paradise, but will dutifully follow in the footsteps of those Presidents which preceded him, continuing to support the interests
of the greedy Globalist Capitalist class who hold the real power in America. Obama's actions thus far has reinforced the suspicions of many that he is going to be just another empty barrel echoing the same loud noises we have all heard so many times before.


Only the noise coming from this empty barrel sounds so much more convincing in comparison to the almost illiterate former President GW Bush.Obama can speak clearly and eloquently, and his youth suggests a new beginning seductive to the thinking of the average empty headed American voter more concerned with image than substance. This modern day snake oil salesman is just what the bankrupt political system needed to regain the credibility which it has lost in the eyes of the people. With polls taken in recent months showing the approval ratings of both President and Congress falling to their lowest levels in recent history, a public relations campaign centered around a candidate like Obama was inevitable.



With the help of the politically embedded mass media, and the support of egotistical high profile hypocrites in the entertainment industry, have succeeded once again in hoodwinking a significant portion of the public into supporting the status quo. A hint of what is in store for the American people can be gleaned from the comments of the new nominee for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, a Wall St. insider and admitted tax evader who advocates giving trillions more of taxpayer dollars to his former Wall St. associates while scaling back entitlement programs such as Social Security to help pay for it all. It is apparent that Geithner's remarks, and those of former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, who advocates that white males should be excluded from any taxpayer funded construction projects, is part and parcel of the tactics of the ruling capitalist class of attacking social programs as wasteful and race baiting to divide and conquer. Judging from the men and women who make up Obama's Cabinet it is reasonable to assume that Obama's support for Wall St. and the war against the American worker begun by corporate hack and grade B actor Ronald Reagan, will continue.


While Obama promised to withdraw American troops from Iraq by 2010, many of these troops will not be coming home at all but redeployed to Afghanistan in an attempt to salvage a war which many consider already lost. In fact, only hours after taking office Obama approved air strikes into Pakistan, and in so doing wasted no time in establishing himself as the new warmonger in chief. His actions so far will no doubt be a disappointment to anti war activists who supported Obama and the Democrats during the election, as well as risking a further expansion of the war into Pakistan. However, those Americans against the war who voted for Obama should have known better, having already been burned voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006, and whose promises were never kept. If the actions of the new President are a let down to the anti war crowd, Obama's economic stimulus package will be nothing less than a total disaster for working Americans, whose support helped win the election.


With the details of the Obama economic stimulus package being made public, it is being viewed by its critics as nothing more than another wasteful Washington spending bill filled with the usual pork, with hundreds of billions more going to the same banks and corporate crooks who gave themselves millions in bonuses, corporate jets, buyouts, vacations, and remodeled offices with taxpayer dollars from the first bailout which the Jr Senator from Illinois we recall, interrupted his election campaign to rush back to Washington to vote for despite overwhelming public opinion against. Not even a month has gone by since Obama has taken office than it is becoming painfully obvious that the new President and his Administration will be nothing more than the toadies and lackeys of the same powerful lobbies and special interests whose cash has bought and sold successive governments in Washington for decades resulting in Americas declining fortunes, and whose fall draws near.

Questions and Answers on 'Being'

1. What differentiates the absolute (infinite being) from the relative (distorted expressions of infinite being)?

The absolute is the totality of all things. It is the basis of all distortions or expressions of in the relative. The relative deals in quality of consciousness, whereas the absolute (has no quality, as it is not bound to the laws of the relative) is pure consciousness.

2. Why is being the plane of Cosmic Law?

As Maharishi defines the term cosmic as “of the entire universe”, it is safe to suggest that being, which is the absolute—alpha and omega—of all things, would be the plane of cosmic law, as it is master of all laws of this and infinite other universes, which are all relative expressions of pure being having their own set of laws that govern them.

3. How is being the field of eternal life?

Being is the foundation of life; all things spring from it. The illusions of beginning and end are only humored on planes of reality that are subject to the laws of ‘time’ and ‘space’. However, as being is the source of life and it is the plane of Cosmic Law, it is outside of ‘beginning’ and ‘end’ and lasts as self-aware intelligence, forever being as it is.

The illusion of beginning and ending is a distortion or expression of infinite being through ‘time’; though life lasts forever, we must witness the process of eternity through concrete change on this plane of reality. For example, from a seed a plant grows, matures, peaks, declines, and then dies. However, before the plant dies it produces seed for the next generation to exist, thus the plant has truly never died, for its DNA is in the seeds—it will continue to reproduce itself. This is a relative expression of infinity.
