THE JESUS FACTOR

As our species evolve with new cultural ways, old security blankets have to go. 2011is the Year of the Mother. It will be the year which will bring forth the change to everyone who is willing to transcend -- to give rebirth for a new world consciousness that the Mother wants to give birth to. The Sun in 0 Cancer trines Neptune retrograde in Pisces which is conjunct Chiron on 5 Pisces and Moon in 10 Pisces has just passed over Neptune. It says it’s time to heal our separation from Spirit (Neptune) and the way to do it is to open our hearts. The Moon (the heart, and motherhood) conjunct Neptune/Chiron) (Spirit and healing)in the Summer Solstice chart of 2011 asks for it.

Now at the end of a beautiful spring season, the end of dominant cruelty in the form of human trafficking (kidnapped kids, and women sold as sex slaves) as well as the collective oppression of people under the rulership of disguised absolute monarchs (after monarchy has been abolished by the French Revolution in the eighteenth century) is coming to an end. This year 2011 will create a lot of clashes, a lot of conflicts, in society, inside governments, inside corporations, inside financial institutions.


The Moon with Chiron/Neptune means we are all healers of the spiritual heart, and it will be the time of female revolt in close relationships. This means the men have to stop “warring and whoring,” because the Goddess Mother refuses anymore a male- dominant abuse of women. Knowing the power of the Goddess with the Moon in Cancer making three eclipses between June 1 to July 1, this year, we will see this aspect played out through the weather as hurricanes. Heavy, intermittent rains bring unprecedented floods and landslides that bury human settlements where mountainous areas have been denuded of trees. Using Jupiter as the focus in the Summer Solstice chart, this great god of abundance, sextiles the Sun in Cancer (sign of the Mother) and Neptune/Chiron trines Pluto in Capricorn gives us a really dynamic configuration that offers huge physical support for the great process of letting go of everything we have ever known or experienced. Our belief in ourselves as a species (Sun) and as the source of our survival comes by connecting to the Source (God). The Jesus Factor. Whether it’s Jesus, Buddha or Mother Mary, we can do it by activating our intuitive healing of hearts and minds. With Jupiter in Taurus planet of divine abundance in the sign of abundance in harmonious trine with Pluto in Capricorn, universal force of transformation both in earth signs, we are reminded that the biological structures of Earth that have gone almost extinct and then rejuvenated many times and so life has continued to evolve.

BUSH, AND THE AGE OF AQUARIUS

At this juncture, we are reminded of President George W Bush, 43rd President of the US between 2001 and 2009 of America who worked to define the challenging process of rejuvenating Mother Earth under the newly arrived “Age of Aquarius” by staging a war that was like no other war ever recorded in world history. Prophesied ages before, as the clash of civilizations, the Iraq war was done on one hand to avenge the horrendous tragedy of thousands of Americans who died when the NY Twin Towers were hit on Sept 11, 2001 by jet planes, on the other hand to send aid and missions to heal the afflicted in the course of conflict, at the same time rejuvenate the spiritual life of the people in the middle east perhaps by bringing in democratic ideals.

But it goes into deeper levels. With Arab women hidden in heavy black veils
living restricted lives in the Middle East and having no voice in socio-political issues of society, George W Bush felt this was ill-intended, for women, the mothers of the world to be deprived of their inalienable rights as humans to be free regardless of race, nationality, and creed as purported by democracy. The aspect of freedom here is involved in a mad disarray of intentions. On one hand, the Americans and allies are displaying anger and ego, an arrogant pride of displaying awesome force with bombs. On the other hand, they have a humanitarian intent of sending aid and missions to heal and rebuild the collaterally damaged areas, and a serious concern for rectifying a particular fundamentalist cultural mindset with what they feel is a distorted religious view of protecting the female against potential male sexual attack and abuse while strangling the divine Goddess in a woman by a denial of her human rights to be treated with reverence and dignity, and enjoy equal rights with the male of the species. But we must move on.

We will see how the distortion of motives that began in 2003 will play out in the Summer Solstice chart of 2011, eight years later. This is very musical like an early medieval madrigal as seen by astrologer Barbara Hand Clow while I sit tense observing with bated breath a space-time continuum of lunar cycles that originated in the “Strike at Iraq” chart of March 21, Spring Equinox of 2003, forming into an impressive but challenging T squares and Grand Square. Engaged in multiple aspects, its agenda is to seek comfort, joy, security and nurturance with the Sun in Cancer amidst chaos, economic collapse, feeling its power because it resonated freely with Mars in 0 Gemini and the Sun is expanded and stabilized by a sextile to Jupiter in Taurus, sign of abundance. Then Uranus comes in suddenly to kick the Sun in the rear by a square from Uranus in Aries supported by other planets all in fiery Aries concerned with making Changes. We see how luck is so shifty at this time of the Shift from the old paradigms that no longer work, as Uranus now sits at the top of a T square, opposing Pluto. This tense T square will make everyone on earth realize that the classic old ways of the third dimension are not coming back without people undergoing a transmutation of their genes or DNAs in the process of purifying their intentions or desires.

INTENTION IS THE KEY

Meanwhile let’s see how George W Bush as chief executive of the US made crucial decisions that led to his transformation as a human and at the same time as US President linking him to the world, to the larger range of vast humanity that believes in freedom.

EJ Donne, author of ‘Sacred Places, Civic Purposes,’ when he heard GW Bush speak of his relationship with God through Christ as giving him meaning and direction, said: “The interest in religion is not made up. It has to do with Bush’s self-presentation and what he thinks he is about.” When Donne asked the young Bush then Governor of Texas what he wanted to do in his life. His answer came – “I believe that God wants me to be president.”

In the Iraq War chart of March 21, Spring Equinox of 2003, Jupiter stands on 8 degrees Leo in the 9th house of God, higher learning, foreign countries, and symbolized by “The Burning Bush.” What it means in Latin is -- benedictum per manum dicentem galadictus adumbratur, an esoteric sentence of E. Levi’s “Dogma and Ritual of High Magic.” As above so underneath, Hermes principle from the “Emerald Table.” I was struck by the apparent inner connection of this Hermes cosmological principle to George Bush’ instinctive desire to do his mission on earth as a US president.


On Jan 19, 1999, Bush and his family attended a private church service in Austin, Texas. The service was a Texan tradition and the minister’s sermon was taken from the book of Exodus. He talked to his audience about how God had called on Moses to lead his people. He said that Moses had been unsure of himself, uncertain that he was the right man for the task. Later that day Bush would be sworn in for his second term as governor. He had won the election in a landslide and was now one of the most popular governors in the country. GWB’s political promise suddenly seemed boundless and talk had began of a possible run for the presidency.

In the gospel “Exodus,” the minister said that Moses tried to beg off it, saying, “Oh no, not me, you want somebody else. You know I am busy, I’ve got a family, I’ve got a speech impediment. Like Moses,initially, GWB’s prospect of living up to his illustrious pedigree were dim. As a child he even had dyslexia, a kind of speech defect, but it was eventually corrected. Bush proved to be floundering until he turned forty, he admitted to a drinking problem in his youth, but a late marriage to Laura Welch helped stabilized him. His rebirth as a believing Christian (he is a Methodist) in 1986 helped put him on the straight and narrow path that led him to the Presidency. At the end of the minister’s talk on the gospel of Moses having encountered the “Burning Bush” in the biblical passage, Bush, followed that by saying, “the country’s hungry for leadership.”

He felt indeed he was ready for the presidency after winning a second term as Governor of Texas in a landslide. The fact that George WB happens to be named “Bush” is a curious synchronistic adjunct to an ancient biblical data that elates you to glow with a smile at this time of the Shift. Surely, the original Hebrew text didn't refer the "burning bush" to George Dubya Bush, you'd say. But who knows? It's the 21st century and English would naturally fit the space-time continnum of life of biblical etymology as it has evolved into a universal language. Nothing happens by accident. Time exists only in the eternal Now.

In a highly spiritual horoscope this zodiac degree’s influence will endow the native (GWB) with the power of heavenly fire surging forth with ardor unquenchable, unsullied and all-consuming.( Aside)

Indeed, Bush was feeling like surging forth with ardor unquenchable. When his people and the world’s objection to the war in Iraq rose to loud aggressive sounds to stop him, he didn’t budge, and went forth to tell his soldiers to stay the course. "His ardor remained unsullied and unquenchable" as spoken in the 8 degrees Leo of the Iraq war chart. To his interlocutors, he said, like Jesus Christ, ”If you are not with me, you are against me..." His addition to the biblical admonition: "You are with the terrorists“ During a presidential debate, the moderator asked the candidates what political philosophy or thinker they most identify with. Steve Forbes answered: John Locke, Alan Keyes, the Founding Fathers. GWB said: Christ, because he changed my life.

To continue with the esoteric symbol of the “burning bush”, I'd like to call your attention to its light. Its light will be hidden from the sight of the unworthy and may even stay invisible to most eyes or escape notice altogether. In the bush blazing with unearthly flame much too human beings will fail to see the light of the Absolute and will only be alive to the fact that the thorns in the bush sting anyone attempting to violate its mystery.

As we are confronted with the collossal drama of clashing civilizations of diametrically opposing polarities as embodied in rigidity of principles by the existing contesting powers on earth at this time of The Shift in Consciousness, as Above and so Underneath, as projected by the cosmic principle of Hermes, ruler of the intellect, I pray, stay the course and focus on the unfolding of the this unfathomable "mystery."

Indeed, there was too much objection to Bush’s intent to carry on with their stay in Iraq. The people of Iraq were actually divided, but those who felt the good effect of messianic Bush’s vision of wanting to 'democratize' Iraq wanted the Americans to stay until they were more certain of what they really needed in the miidst of change, more mature and made secure in a freer society by their own security forces.

Whether heavenward or earthbound, such a mind will be ruled rather by instinct than by reason. His spirit of justice and honesty, his sense of unalloyed integrity and fairness, would often entitle the native (GWB) to a social status than he occupies. When asked by the debate moderator how people would like to know more on how Christ has changed his heart.

GWB answered: Well, if they don’t know, it’s going to be hard to explain. Faith gives us concerns to keep us honest even when no one else is watching. And faith can change lives, I know, because faith changed me.

We all know that GWB became the 43rd President of the United States despite many obstacles. As Doug Wead, adviser to President GWBush said, “The message
did come home. My God, you could win the White House with nothing but evangelicals…and “his ideas on God and government,” says another media man who covered the President’s tour at one time, said: “He is by most accounts, the most openly religious president in generations.”

From his own personal troubles with alcohol, his marriage, etc., in the Fall of 1985, George WB joined a bible study group. This started him on the straight and narrow path. Mark Leaventon said: “Bush has been given so much in his life. He was from a privileged family with powerful business and political connections, a fortune that goes back generations. But very little had gone well in Bush’s own. When he came (to the bible group study), it was noteworthy. It was always neat to me because I thought, Isn’t that wonderful? Here’s a guy who has so much in his life, and yet he has a need, just like I do.”


When Sept 11 2001 came to change America, the self-help Methodist George W Bush, became now a messianic American Calvinist speaking of “the Mission of America.” He states: In every generation, the world has produced enemies of human freedom. They have attacked America because we are freedom’s home and defender, and the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time.” On another occasion, he said: “We will rid the world of evil-doers. We have never seen this kind of evil before (referring to the Sept 11, 2001 bombing of Twin Towers in NY) But the evil-doers have never seen the American people in actual action before, and they’re bound to find out. Thank you all very much.” Read more.

“Ours is the cause of human dignity. The idea of America is the hope of all mankind. That hope drew millions to this harbor (referring to the harbor of Statue of Liberty, a gift from the French government that toppled absolute monarchy during its own Revolution) that still lights our way. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness will not overcome it.”

“Now all of a sudden, it’s meant to be America as a beacon of light to the world. It’s no longer about the word of God (being conscious of all kinds of thinkers, Christian, non-Christian, skeptics, atheists, non-believers), the light of Christ, it’s about us. It’s about we being the hope of the world.” As Christ is within us, then so be it.

EXPERIENCING 5D ASTROLOGY

In her book Catastrophobia, Barbara Hand Clow presents evidence that Earth axis did not tilt very much before 95,000 BC, when the cosmic disaster disarranged the whole solar system. Astrological readings are structured therefore, by seasonality – equinoxes and solstices because once the axis tilted, early humans quickly learned how to maximize their lives by the seasons. Seasonality has a huge influence on human consciousness, says Barbara, and I agree. Astrological reading is nothing if it is not experienced. George W Bush invaded Iraq exactly during the Spring Equinox of 2003, because the Elite knew this moment had a formative potential. Also, that makes GWB a visionary, regardless of what we think. This happened on Day Three of the Galactic, based on the Mayan Calendar, so this invasion caused events that will influence the rest of the Galactic Underworld that’s only a step to the Universal plane of Ascension.

On April 26, 2003, I wrote an article in the Elan section of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, titled “Making Sense of the Iraq War.” In it I presented the equation that we are a race in crisis and in transition. Based on the astrological chart of the “Strike on Iraq” (March 20, 2003. 3 a.m. GMT), which coincides with the coming of the Age of Aquarius, the energies of the planets are telling us that this is the defining year of the Aquarian Age, and it occurs exactly during the Spring Equinox of 2003, Day Three of the Galactic, based on the Mayan Calendar. Nothing happens by accident. In this chart, two important planetary formations rule the Iraq War –- the Mystical Rectangle and the Grand Trine which forms into two triangles, one pointing downwards, the other pointing upwards, making a huge Star configuration. Incredible for a war chart, definitely incredible!! (see chart)

The Grand Trine that looks like an inverted pyramid indicates that the world is still materialistic, exploitative and acquisitive. The other Grand Trine however, that’s looking up indicates that certain parts of the world are getting spiritual, and now ready to rise to higher vibrational frequencies of the Heavenly spheres by transcending the physicality of a Returning Karma, in this case the pains caused by diseases,accidents or disasters we suffer when we violate the universal Law of Cause and Effect.

The Mystical Rectangle’s appearance is a powerful sign that explains the mystical aspect of human life on earth. Mystical tendencies show if the people are equipped for attuning to the Divine through alchemy, or the will to be a co-creator of the Creator in creating a much better world with the aid of prayer and meditation being practiced on a regular basis. In this chart, there emerges a breed of people “in pursuit of studies too profound to be accessible to middle-class mentality.” Instead of trying to mend what is broken in society in a material sense of building houses, malls, hotels, they focus on creating a completely new world, the utopian Garden of Eden of the new spiritual and mystical Aquarian Age. To them, the only things that need repair are hearts and minds. And how do we repair hearts and minds? How do we mend the Shape of the Formless in us? Do you hear the sound of one hand clapping in meditation? This is how we experience Astrology. We see the inner self of a human, his heart and mind, his soul, not just his apparel or how stylish she looks.

At this point I’d like to show another chart with a Mystical Rectangle formation, and this is the Philippine chart of June 12. In a previous posting, I made projections of the Filipino OFWs penchant for going to work in the Middle East, consciously to earn petro dollars to improve life in his own country, unconsciously, to infuse the subtle energies of a kind of internalized spirituality on their masters’ consciousness, indicating an ability to repair their hearts and minds. The arrival of our Pinoy OFWs along with the numerous other multinational workers swarming as it were like ants in the vast deserts of Arabia were there to build, to construct roads, bridges, buildings. And all kinds of infrastructure increased to advance the sparkling de luxe modernity of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah,Bahgdad, etc. The astonishing progress of the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq (though with difficulty), also opened the world's eyes to the insufferable inequality and injustice between lifelong dictators and the suffering, heroic people in Middle East countries that were now "Awakening" after the Iraq War was launched by the allied forces led by the US on the Spring Equinox of 2003, indicating a new beginning of a new order.

The paradoxical appearance of a STAR formation of two Grand Trines intersecting each other, along with a Mystical Rectangle in the Iraq war chart denotes great energies in support of a war that is unlike no other war in the past. This is a human conflict in ancient Mesopotamia, cradle of civilization that has been prophesied in sacred texts as crucial in terms of its responsibility to bring about a new age and a new order. This may well be the long predicted clash of civilizations induced by religious fundamentalism, except that the attendant violence runs counter to being “civilized.” Together, the Mystical Rectangle and the Grand Trine in the Iraq war chart present a cosmic confrontation of polarities, of opposites. On one hand, the allied nations have been displaying ego and anger. On the other, there has been emphasis on humanitarian activities, with all-out aid and missions. It calls on us to have an open mind about all that’s happening in the world now

Let us then look at Astrology in the Fifth dimension. Let us try to unite the two levels of spirit and matter. Heaven and Earth, as represented by a huge Star formation composed of two Grand Trines, intersecting each other, one pointing Up, the other pointing Down as seen in the Iraq war chart, and so understand the essence of the connection between the planets and our lives on Earth. As an astrologer from the Faculty of London, Szanto, puts it, if we look at the universe from the top of the mountain, or from the circumference of the circle, it is. The whole of it is contained in a space-time continuum. The horoscope is a circle of a space-time continuum. The past, the present, and future exist in potential. This is the universe in its spiritual state, at the archetypal level of the zodiac.

For instance, if you are born between June-July, you are Cancer, Cancer is your archetype, it describes you as a human type. It is not the Sun in Cancer in itself, as a rational image that describes the person. It is the force behind the symbol. The Sun in Cancer is no more than a door, a psychic image, leading us to the inner meaning. The way to the symbolic truth contained in the Horoscope is through the intuition. This does not mean that we should not use our rational faculties. Indeed we should but it will be fused with the intuitve powers for both are halves of the whole -- Heaven and Earth, as astrologer Szanto declares in his book, 'The Marriage of Heaven and Earth.'

If we look at the universe from the bottom of the mountain or from the circumference of a circle, it comes to life. Things happen. Events unfold. We have the choice of watching the drama passively as an spectator, or actively by taking part and give meaning to the events that happen to us. Ultimately, we are asked whether we recognize the meaning of what occurs in our world.

The point of astrology is to get in touch with the inner meaning of the time. Most of us cannot experience the meaning of the moment directly and we therefore need to rely on the phenomena that reflects it. The quality of the universe as it is, is continually reflected in the planetary cycles, and we find the meaning of the universe in the creation of a new world in the middle of the Summer Solstice of 2011 with three lunar eclipses from June 1 to July 1, 2011. Events since the Gemini New Moon has continued to verify the critical nature of three themes 1) a crisis over the use of nuclear power 2) chaos in the Middle East 3) economic collapse of some advanced countries. Fort Knox's gold bars are rumored to be disappearing fast. Surely we live not only in a time of chaos, but in a time of miracles!

Let's talk more about this next time. A new mail just came in, Thurs/July 7, 2011

Oh my, Georgie! You've blown my mind with your thesis and the astrological chart of the Iraq war. Since I never got around to reading the article you wrote for Elan in 2003, it is the very first time I see this chart. It presents the 5D Diamond! Is GWB an Iluminati or a spiritual master? Blessings of Love, Light and Joy! Amalie

My answer to this dear dear friend will follow in my next posting.
