HAPPY ECLIPSE

 

Ah............ and today could I avoid talking about the eclipse? I don't know that I want to avoid it. Like everybody else, who can read, I know the obvious astronomical facts. I am too ignorant to know any of the more exotic data.

However, anybody who has lived on this planet as long as I have, knows there is much more to these things than our current science knows. Astrology was once a science and those ancient peoples of Greece, Rome, Egypt, Phoenicia, etc. were no intellectual slouches. Unfortunately, I know less about the astrological significance of an eclipse, as I do the astronomical. I do respect some people who have some information.

Roughly, I would say a solar eclipse predicts change, often abrupt and chaotic, and a chance for new beginnings. I sure hope the new beginnings part is true. It starts at 11:44AM here, the midpoint [or max] is 1:07PM and it is over by 2:29PM. We will be on our journey to the Amish and to Mora during some of this time. We will probably wait until after the maximum to leave home. It probably won't dim the Sun much here.

Some folks say that it intensifies both the positive and negative aspects of our being and thinking. If that is so, it is time to stay grounded in the moment and aware of the love that surrounds us.

I watched the total solar eclipse of 1954 with my sister Sandy. I think we stayed up all night to watch it. I can't remember what time it was and the internet didn't help me. My confusion is that I thought we were looking towards the West, but that doesn't make sense, if we stayed up all night to watch it. I will have to ask Sandy what she remembers.

I am dreaming of new beginnings. I am dreaming of a world that sheds its empire and sheds all its vassal state governments. A world that will only tolerate governments that adhere to Natural Law. The Law of Love. I dream of a world where we use our gifts to help each other; a world where service to each other is the highest priority.

It is not hard to see. We already love each other. Our first instincts are always to be of aid to those in need. Our more loving impulses have been stifled by those who profit from our fears. The scales are coming off are eyes. We don't want to be unloving any more. No we don't!

The leaders of darkness are on the wane. The leaders of light are in the ascendancy. How can we fail! Love is the only force there is.

HAPPY ECLIPSE!

Love and Peace, Gregg
