Dear friends, Bill Herbst My heartfelt thanks to the many subscribers who have already http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/040305A.shtml American Thermidor
For many, the theory of why this is happening centers around the top-down media system and its vitriolic faux populism that is used to cover an agenda of concentration of power and economic elitism, and an American public that is enthralled by the political machinations of the Republican Party. For others, the root cause is corporate-driven globalization, which sets the workers of different states and different nations against each other in a grim race to the bottom. It seems inconceivable to many writers that, in an era in which so much is headed in the wrong direction, the Republicans have been in the White House 6 of the last 9 terms, and have not lost control of Congress since the elections of 1994, except during a very brief period when the Democrats wrangled the Senate based on a party switch by a Republican. Not only this, but they have controlled the debate, pushing the Democratic Party farther and farther to the right. Even while the approval numbers of both Republican President and Republican Party are below 50% in recent polls, the media treats them with kid gloves, and the Democrats defer to Bush on what the agenda of the nation should be.

All I can find is the date, no location or time. http://mediamatters.org/items/200407230001 Anatomy of a smear: Sandy Berger "socks" shocker Lies, blind quotes, and innuendo rampant in Berger coverage
Sandy Berger Pleads Guilty to Taking Documents All Things Considered, April 1, 2005 · Sandy Berger, who served as national security adviser to President Bill Clinton, pleads guilty to taking and destroying federal property. Berger admitted that he intentionally took three copies of a classified document from the National Archives and cut them up with scissors.
snip... The report was the result of a review done by Richard Clarke, then the White House counterterrorism chief, of efforts by the Clinton administration to stop terrorist plots at the turn of the year 2000. At several points in the September 11 commission hearings, Democrats pointed to the millennium case as an example of how a proper counterterrorism program should be run. But sources say the report suggests just the opposite. Clarke apparently concluded that the millennium plot was foiled by luck — a border agent in Washington State who happened to notice a nervous, sweating man who turned out to have explosives in his car — and not by the Clinton administration's savvy anti-terrorism work. The report also contains a number of recommendations to lessen the nation's vulnerability to terrorism, but few were actually implemented. The after-action review became the topic of public discussion in April when Attorney General John Ashcroft mentioned it in his public testimony before the September 11 commission. "This millennium after-action review declares that the United States barely missed major terrorist attacks in 1999 and cites luck as playing a major role," Ashcroft testified. "It is clear from the review that actions taken in the millennium period should not be the operating model for the U.S. government." In May, a government official told National Review Online that the report contains a "scathing indictment of the last administration's actions." The source said the report portrayed the Clinton administration's actions as "exactly how things shouldn't be run." In addition, Clarke was highly critical of the handling of the millennium plot in his book, Against All Enemies. It is not clear how many copies of the report exist. Nor is it clear why Berger was so focused on the document. If he simply wanted a copy, it seems that taking just one would have been sufficient. But it also seems that Berger should have known that he could not round up all the known copies of the document, since there were apparently other copies in other secure places. Whatever the case, the report was ultimately given to the September 11 Commission. http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/31/berger.plea.ap/ Sandy Berger, who was President Clinton's top national security aide, pleaded guilty Friday to taking classified documents from the National Archives and cutting them up with scissors. Rather than the "honest mistake" he described last summer, Berger acknowledged to U.S. Magistrate Deborah Robinson that he intentionally took and deliberately destroyed three copies of the same document dealing with terror threats during the 2000 millennium celebration. "Guilty, your honor," Berger responded when asked how he pleaded. The charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of a year in prison and up to a $100,000 fine. However, under a plea agreement that Robinson must accept, Berger would serve no jail time but instead pay a $10,000 fine, surrender his security clearance for three years and cooperate with investigators. Security clearance allows access to classified government materials. Sentencing was set for July 8. More... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Berger Criminal investigation On July 19, 2004, it was revealed that the U.S. Justice Department was investigating Berger for allegedly taking as many as fifty classified documents, in October 2003, from a National Archives reading room prior to testifying before the 9/11 Commission. The documents were commissioned from Richard Clarke about the Clinton administration's handling of millennium terror threats. Berger maintained that the removal of top-secret documents in his attache-case and handwritten notes in his pants and jacket pockets was accidental. Berger left the John Kerry campaign shortly after the incident became public. Some suggested that Berger's removal of the documents constituted theft and moreover had serious national security implications, while others claimed that the documents were taken, only drafts and all were flattering to Clinton and Berger (relating to the failed 2000 millennium attack plots). However, Berger admitted that the three documents that he destroyed were drafts that contained information not contained in the final report.[1] On March 31, 2005, the Justice Department announced that Berger will plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal or retention of classified material. As a result, he faces maximum penalties of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. In addition, he will lose his security clearance.
Samuel Berger 9/11 prepared testimony The following is the prepared testimony, on March 24, 2004, by Former National Security Adviser Samuel L. Berger, to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States Posted by: Pat C on April 4, 2005 12:19 AMhttp://www.thenation.com/thebeat/index.mhtml?bid=1&pid=2301 snip... But one aspect of this pope's legacy is not up for debate. During John Paul II's pontificate, the Catholic Church closed the loophole that had served as all-too-many justifications for the taking of the lives of prisoners of the state. New Orleans Archbishop Francis Schulte said the change opened up "a whole new area (of consideration) for many Catholics." Sister Helen Prejean described it as a "Seismic shift" in church teaching. That shift had a profound influence on former Illinois Governor George Ryan, who declared the capital punishment system in Illinois "broken," and commuted the sentences of all 167 inmates sitting on death row in Illinois jails in 2003. And it continues to be felt today, as the US Conference of Catholic Bishops wages a newly launched national campaign to end the use of the death penalty in the United States. There will be many grand eulogies to mark the passing of Pope John Paul II. But none will be more eloquent than the ongoing campaign to bar the barbaric practice of state-sponsored execution. Perhaps John Paul II was not the most modern pope, but he recognized the progress of society and moral teaching when he preached that, "Modern society has the means of protecting itself, without definitively denying criminals the chance to reform."

I'm visualizing a more Mother loving world. A new Popess? Being a Hindjew the Pope never made an intellectual impact on me, his discourses tended to be dry. However, whenever he visited NYC the city was filled with a charged energy that felt uplifting. The newspapers would have front pages that had messages of Love. In the 80's during a NYC visit it was raining. But it stopped raining wherever the pope mobile went. That still impresses me. You go Pallas! Posted by: bhakti on April 4, 2005 01:31 AMSo lets see...Sandy Berger took 3 documents and destroyed them...GBrez let his people "out "a CIA agent, thereby blowing her cover and the covers of the people in her 'line'....and which one is being prosecuted? Posted by: judi gemini on April 4, 2005 01:34 AMOver the years I have been accused of being a "Cassandra"....when actually the correct term is high functioning psychic (probably not that far from high functioning crazy person)....but here, sweel words, is a better phraze for all of us who dare to predict: http://www.dreamscape.com/morgana/pan.htm The Hopi prophecies. They read like our posts....although I am sure you all are familiar with them, it is still worth reading again.

I studied the Greeks through Womens Studies --- puts a whole other slant on things! Namaste Posted by: Jo on April 4, 2005 02:21 AMWV, That was a mighty fine article you posted at the very beginning of this thread... I'm one of those of the accelerated generation --- so are you. Don't know about you, but if things move any faster I'll be 'ether'... Am undergoing heavy Pluto transit now, same aspect, only backwards! now!!! I am feeling some heavy changes in my inner world, and they're probably going to come busting out on the outer world and my family this summer... hope they're ready for it!!! Posted by: Jo on April 4, 2005 02:37 AMPallas, this should keep you busy for at least 2 or 3 days. http://www.ewtn.com/HolySee/Interregnum/electors.asp That website lists all the current (117)cardinals in the "selector college" (although there are two who are being kept secret..perhpas they're Chinese, and for their safety). When you click on their name, you get a biography. If Judi and Malachy ? are correct, we will find the Benedictine aka Franciscan priest in one of those bigraphies ...and supposedly that will be the next pope. I'm wondering if it's the cardinal from Austria with that background. Posted by: Pallas18 on April 4, 2005 02:53 AMBeasley - Yes of course. Ken Negus. I have such a problem remembering names, especially when I've been on a candy-chocolate binge. :) Ask Ken Negus who the doctorate in astrology is. He's the one, the rumor was, that slipped it through. :) You're very fortunate to have such an active NCGR/astrology club. There really isn't one in my area . Posted by: Pallas18 on April 4, 2005 03:00 AMOh, I forgot. Pallas, the guy who was pontificating about T Shiavo was talking from what he read and "knew." Not from any astrological chart. He's a Rep. What bothers me is that he won't say so. Oh well. Posted by: Beasley on April 4, 2005 03:05 AMOh Beasley. Well if he's not talking from an astrology chart, Sorry. I never heard of this Schwarz fellow. Meanwhile, Could this be the one? Cardinal Cláudio Hummes, O.F.M., was born on August 8, 1934, in Montenegro, Brazil. He was ordained a priest of the Franciscan order on August 3, 1958. He has been a specialist in ecumenism. He taught philosophy at the Franciscan seminary in Garibaldi, at the major seminary of Viamão, and at the Pontifical Catholic University of Porto Alegre. From 1972 until 1975, he was an adviser for ecumenical affairs to the National Bishops' Conferences of Franciscans. On March 22, 1975, he was appointed coadjutor bishop of Sante André, and consecrated on May 25 of that year. He succeeded to that see on December 29, 1975. On July 21, 1996, he was appointed archbishop of Fortaleza, and transferred to São Paulo on May 23, 1998. He was created a cardinal on February 21, 2001. His titular church is St. Anthony of Padua in Via Merulana. He continues to serve as Archbishop of São Paulo. In the Roman Curia, he is a member of the Congregation for the Discipline of the Sacraments, the council Cor Unum, the Council for the Cultural Heritage of the Church, the Council for Interreligious Dialogue, the Council for the Laity, and the Commission for Latin America. Cardinal Hummes relocated to Rome has Mars Venus Moon Pluto Mercury in Cancer in the 9th house, and Soouth Node at 10 Leo conjunct MC of 11 Leo and Sun 15 Leo in the 10th house. hmmm. All the planets are there, but South Node on the MC ???? oik. Scorpio Ascendant. BTW, Pope Paul The Great's relocated chart had Saturn on his MC and Moon on his 4th house cusp at the time of his passing. (in Placidus) If we didn't know we'd say this was a person losing his job and moving. Except that the transiting South Node was on his natal Mars in the 12th. Posted by: Pallas18 on April 4, 2005 03:39 AMhey, judi, don't get oo worked up about those hope prophecies...they're just bitter. i stopped taking them seriously when they said america would be nuked with only those on hopi lands surviving...ah, right. i'm always happy when i can dismiss a dooms day prophecy. the reality we face is much more firghtening. my latest bout of optimism comes from mega-high oil prices. that will force an extremeliy rapid look at renewables or new fuels. my theory is that something had to be developed that will go in existing cars, not hybrids. that something can be anything that will make them run. in all likelihood it will be low on pollution given the advanced technology required to develop such a fuel. that would solve a boat load of problems. I wasn't going to say anything about this Pope because of a personal experience I had with the Vatican and the Pope in 1993, but Bhakti said something that gave me an "ah ha" moment and I decided to share it. She said something about the "powerful Shakti" around him. In 1993 I was hired by the Vatican to raise several hundred million in dollars and in-kind services for World Youth Day in Denver and the Pope's visit and let me just say that working for the Vatican was an experience and one that left me cynical toward the Church and absolutely toward the Papacy. There were 250 thousand people that came to Denver for that event and it was a true event. The 250 thousand arrived days in advance of the Pope and I want to say that for the entire week there was not one incident. Not a fight, or robbery or theft in Denver, just massive traffic. When the President and Pope arrived at the airport the 7 of us and our staff responsible for the event (and 400 volunteers)wanted to feel something when he arrived and we didn't, there wasn't any energy, nothing. But one morning at dawn I was walking through a prayer service where all 250 thousand were participating and it was beautiful and inspiring. It was the people, their love and desire for peace that had come together and spread that all over the city. Because of the massive amount of money and services I had raised it was requested that I have a personal audience with the Pope, in fact it was requested of all 7 of us. I almost declined, but in the end I went and one by one we went in to see him, and one by one we each had the same experience, one of sadness, pity, and reinforced cynicism, and that's all I want to say about that or think I should say. It wasn't until Bhakti said what she did that I suddenly realized the Vatican and the Pope whoever he is, is just a symbol where people (all of us) can project their love, hope, faith in something better. We, the people give life to those we elevate, for good or for ill we think they make us, they give or take away from us, but they don't, we do. We have the power to determine whether we experience positive or negative, it's ours to give or take away. Millions of Catholics are mourning from their depths the loss of their symbol of peace and love, cleansing themselves so they can rise again with and swell with pride, joy, hope, peace and love to jubliantly rejoice over the new Pope and they will rejoice. In the end it doesn't make any difference what the Church does or doesn't do, it's the symbol that represents the best of our hopes. Posted by: Sally on April 4, 2005 04:15 AM Just received a solicitation in the mail for a magazine "what is enlightenment" Beautifully stated, Sally. Just great. That, I think, is the trouble. Investing all this hope in a person. It's bound to be disappointing, and no man can live up to those expectations. Jeanie, I take that magazine and we use it in our foundation (our mission is to change the culture of corporate america so it can thrive and empower both women and men) It is a great and very "enlightening" magazine. I heartily recommend it. Posted by: Sally on April 4, 2005 04:39 AMSally, I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience and that it affected you in such a way. I understand what you are saying, but it is not completely true. If I walk up to a Catholic who has been taught in Catholic school 50 years ago and say " The Jews didn;t kill Christ, the Romans did." - it isn't going to have one bit of effect. After 2000 years this man, this Pope did change that teaching. This man, if the Church keeps his dictum that to be anti-semitic is a sin against God, has done more in 2000 years in that regard than the 253 popes before him who promulgated the hatred. To apologize for the pope who turned his face away from the 6 million being killed - to apologize for the Inquisition - these are huge huge huge and courageous acts. I also had a personal experience but mine was at the age of 5 of bigotry pointed at me. Imagine being 5 years old and being angrily told and shoved by another 5 year old "you killed Jesus." I couldn't go to the graduation party at the local swimming hole when I was 16. They had a sign outside which said " No Jews, Dogs or Niggers If Pope John Paul did nothing else his entire Papacy - that one visit, that one letter left in the wailing wall - that apology - makes him a saint as far as I'm concerned. And the rest of the popes can "gay cok'n yon". Posted by: Pallas18 on April 4, 2005 04:47 AMJM, what really grabbed me was the true realization that these people we elevate from our human masses to be religious leaders, or government leaders, or any kind of leader gets their power from us, the people. They don't really have any power over us and if we go away from them they will dry up, they think they got there on their merits or but they didn't. We gave them steam to get there and stay there and we can keep giving it or take it away from them, it's our energy. We need to practice turning our energy away from corruption and turning it toward prosperity and health for all. We should be focusing on what is coming to the people and not focusing on what corruption and greed has taken away from us and focus on a leader. I don't know for sure how to harness this energetic power, but I do know we have it in our hands. Posted by: Sally on April 4, 2005 04:50 AMDear Sally, Thank you sooooooo much for that post! I am very glad you shared it.
Thanks for the feedback Sally. I shall sign up for the mag right away. But Pallas, that's my point, it's the meaning "we the people" give to the symbol. It doesn't matter whether it's a person, or an office, or money, or a gesture, or car or house, it's the meaning WE give to it. Posted by: Sally on April 4, 2005 05:03 AMSally, I so completely agree. Posted by: jm on April 4, 2005 05:06 AMSally, You;re a lecturer as I am. I gather you're also a teacher. And I know for certainty that you have been in audiences watching and listening to a spiriutal person who is "glowing", whose words are uplifting and meaningful. I know there are times "spirit" comes over us and our words or lecture are inspirational, meaningful, as if they came from someplace else or somewhere else. And yet, you and I and "we" are not like that all the time..we don;t have that glow at all times..only at certain times. Some things I've written I re-read at a later time, and am amazed and I wonder "did I write that"? My point is that spirit does not shine through us at every moment. Perhaps only when we're writing or lecturing - or giving a reading. At those times we don;t seem to be ordinary people. Something fills us, changes us, speaks through us. "But Pallas, that's my point, it's the meaning "we the people" give to the symbol. It doesn't matter whether it's a person, or an office, or money, or a gesture, or car or house, it's the meaning WE give to it." "We the people" didn't give Pope Karol Wytlya(sp) the idea or the courage to apologize and make those statements in Israel and deny 253 popes' previous 2000 years of teachings, Sally. Spirit did. And he was the vessel and conduit of spirit to right that wrong. Yes,I understand, a billion Catholics making him leader gave his words importance and power. And centuries before, armies gave Popes' words power to enforce hatred and killing - not "we the people". But I don't know if you can fully understand what his gesture and words, which may or may not have been directed by "spirit" in Israel, meant to every Jew in the world. You might have to be Jewish to understand the centuries and memories of persecution. Posted by: Pallas18 on April 4, 2005 05:56 AMhttp://slate.msn.com/id/2116087/ The Limbaugh Code If a book lands on the best-seller list and nobody hears it, did it really happen? Mark R. Levin's Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America was ranked eighth on the New York Times list this week; it's been on that list for six weeks now, and seems to be leaping off the bookshelves, despite the fact that it concerns constitutional law and the U.S. Supreme Court. Yet it has been reviewed virtually no place and written up by almost no one. True, Charles Lane did a piece about it in the Washington Post a few days ago; he noted that absolutely nobody who writes, talks, or thinks about the high court has even read it. It's selling, it seems, almost entirely due to endorsements by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Fox News. Men in Black was published by Regnery Publishing—the outfit that brought us Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry last summer. Serious journalists spent serious time debunking the claims set forth in the Swift Boat book, but absolutely no one seems to be taking on Levin. This isn't too surprising: For one thing, there's no election on the line. And for another, no serious scholar of the court or the Constitution, on the ideological left or right, is going to waste their time engaging Levin's arguments once they've read this book.

Why has there been so little attention paid to talk radio, Regnery books, Fox News, etc...? All of these things, and other media outlets, have serious problems with accuracy and have certainly had a giant impact on the practice of journalism. Rampant wingnuttery filled with falsehoods surrounds us everywhere, but few dare mention it. If I were running CNN, once I fired most of the people that worked there and replaced them with decent TV journalists, I'd get rid of their little daily blog show and replace it with the "Fox News Fuckup of the day." They could just steal it from Media Matters. Then I'd add a "crazy shit people are hearing on talk radio which aren't true" segment. ..................... http://mediamatters.org/archives/search.html?topic=FOX%20News%20Channel FOX News Channel — Search Results: 487 items ....................... http://matthewholt.typepad.com/the_health_care_blog/2003/11/policy_oh_canad_1.html Oh Canada Posted by: Pat C on April 4, 2005 06:06 AMhttp://www.watchingamerica.com/ Posted by: Pat C on April 4, 2005 06:17 AMhttp://doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html Posted by: Pat C on April 4, 2005 06:20 AMPallas & Sally, I see what each of you mean. Sally's point is that we give our power away when we think someone is "more" than us, or decide they're special, implying that we're not. And Pallas is saying that the Pope was special without us making him so. I think it works together: the Pope needed us to bring out his special soul. He had a calling and his destiny came to him, but he grew and became more spiritual and more empowered because of being able to minister to so many millions. He made some beautiful choices and expressed love and warmth, and maybe there was another not-so- wonderful side, too, and that is what Sally saw. Pallas, when I was just about the same age as you, maybe a year or 2 older, I had a similar experience. The neighborhood children that I played with regularly decided to tell me in a repeated chorus that "I" had killed Christ. It was a hurtful experience and left it's mark forever, causing me to be ashamed of being Jewish for a long time. I am still sensitive about it. The Pope did a great thing. I don't know if it's been clarified exactly who was involved in Jesus's demise, but it was obviously the act of certain men and women of the time. Anti-semitism hurts, just as racism, hate crimes, violence and cruelty of any sort do. But Jesus was able to handle it and he set a good example :-) By the way, Pallas, I always heard it as "Gay cockin af'n yam!" That was a favorite expression in my New York Jewish family.

Posted by: Sharon on April 4, 2005 06:46 AMWell, it kept giving me a new code and didn't seem to post until I tried three times. Mercury retrograde strikes again! (it's still retrograde, isn't it?) Posted by: Sharon on April 4, 2005 06:48 AMSharon, you are a dear. But that's not exactly what I was saying, however I appreciate you bringing in a lovely balance. I am talking about "energy" and how we use it and how it can be used on a collective basis and moving the dialogue from the microism to a more macroism view of the collective and our strength in numbers. How we give strength to symbols, positive and negative. The collective best of ourselves can move a person or symbol to perform their best. It meant a lot to Cubans for him to travel there, certainly wonderful for Poland and Africa. I know there were awful things said to Jewish families and African families, and families where the parents were divorced (that I know because of what kids said to my kids when I divorced) awful things are said by kids to anyone they think is different or their parents think is different and it's horrible and tragic. I cannot imagine that anyone but the most cretian amoung us believe the Jews are responsible as a group for the death of Jesus, although I know a ton of people that don't realize that Jesus was born Jewish and died Jewish so there are obviously cretians out here. In the 70's the Pope who came after Pope John said "The Jewish People are not responsible for the death of Jesus" That statement meant as much to the Jews at that time as this Pope at the Wailing Wall. And obviously it needs to be said for every new generation, probably should be said on a monthly or weekly basis. I was sharing a memory of how it was 250 thousand people from all over the world that set the tone of peace and love, not the person who came to see them. When Bhakti said what she said about the people in NY it made me realize how powerful our emotions are in creating an image and I only used John Paul as an example of where I had seen that kind of energy, there are a million others. As a side note, you are correct, there is a public and private face on the church and they do not mesh at all, but even that has nothing to do with what I was saying. I know how people feel because as a protestant we loved Pope John who died in 1963 because he reached out to all peoples and began the reform of the church. The outpouring of grief for him from all religions and all countries was extraordinary. John Kennedy was another person where the outpouring of grief was immense. Well I digress, I used the pope as an example because that's what people were talking about and I had a personal experience with a specific situation, but the story was not about the Pope. gotta go to bed, i am going in circles. Posted by: Sally on April 4, 2005 07:25 AM"We need to practice turning our energy away from corruption and turning it toward prosperity and health for all. We should be focusing on what is coming to the people and not focusing on what corruption and greed has taken away from us and focus on a leader. I don't know for sure how to harness this energetic power, but I do know we have it in our hands."... said by Sally, April 4th. That says it all, to me. Posted by: jm on April 4, 2005 07:44 AMWell, I did think of something else to say. I feel that the roots of anti-semitism are much more primitive and deep than whether or not the Jews killed Christ. That's just a hook. Although it is a good thing that this Pope apologised, it doesn't seem to have done much. Anti-semitism is on the rise again in Europe. Probably never really diminished. One man's proclamation really cannot affect 2000 years of history that much. "...and one by one we went in to see him, and one by one we each had the same experience, one of sadness, pity, and reinforced cynicism, and that's all I want to say about that or think I should say." Sally, I do wish that you would elaborate on what it was about your meeting with the Pope that left you with this impression. Several family members of mine have met him and reported the exact opposite of what you describe. I once had an opportunity to see him when it visited my country in 1985 and I must say that it was an extrememly uplifting experience. It feels like a joke day.... >A FABULOUS Rat Story Sally, yes I understand about giving ones own power to other. And that is what you are talking about. But that is not what I've been talking about. I don't tend to do that in any circumstance. :) In a way we are comparing apples to oranges. You are speaking of "human man" and I speak of "spirit" literally entering "human man" on occasion and talking through him/her. As a matter of fact, when you write things like this: "We are offshoots of the same organism, and when we kill others, we are amputating a part of this creature, and we suffer in some way and feel that pain in ourselves.Whoever contributes to this evolution, of course, should be lauded." I recognize Spirit speaking truth through you and am awed - it has happened several times, but not all the time. But, I have always had one foot in the mystic world and am attuned and particularly sensitive to these things - truthfully it's a nicer place than here. :) When Spirit speaks through you with such wisdom and people are attracted to you, it is not "you" that attracts them - but the word and loving truth of I have experienced the adulation and adoration of other people when Spirit spoke through me when I have taught. And it's frightening to have people look at you that way and think they love you. It was my habit to tell people that I was not their Guru. It served the Pope's purpose and his Church's to allow people to think he was their Guru. ( I don't follow or believe in Gurus - it is disempowering - and so I agree with you and understand- Sally, Sharon is right. You are speaking of earthly man and I am speaking of otherworldly spirit that temporarily enters and speaks through It's a shame and I'm sorry you met the man and Spirit wasn't present at the time. Disillusioning. And yet, it put you on the path that you are on. Perhaps you would have gone on working for the Church instead of doing what you are doing now - teaching individual empowerment - and I believe Spirit puts us where we are needed and in what we are supposed to be doing. "Spirit works in mysterious ways". With what we know is coming, your teachings are necessary. But I also think this concentration on death and dying the world has been going through this last month and since DDecember 26 is some kind of advance notice, preparation if you will. Meanwhile, I have been looking for the effect of the eclipse of 19 Aries on John Paul/Karol Wotyilya (sp) and couldn't find it, until I went to the Arabic parts: The Pope was born on a Solar Eclipse at 26 Taurus which happens to be his Vertex in Rome conjunct his Sun. Fated. These degrees are also part of the Pleiades - the Weeping Sisters- which may have added to his conviction that life was for suffering - his life certainly had a lot of suffering. ( I don;t subscribe to the belief that we are here to suffer) He goes to his final resting place, entombment, on the Solar Eclipse In the Arabic Parts: His Part of Spirit is 18 Libra 53, which is most interesting that it takes the eclipse. His Part of Death 18 Libra 59 His Moon/Uranus Midpoint is 19 Aries with ruler Aquarius his 4th house. (19 Aries falls between his ruler Venus and the North Node in his 6th house)
As long as we are talking about mystic and spiritual things - and some might call it morbid - I am bothered by something that was done to the body after this Pope's death. Spiritual (mystic) thought/belief is that we are connected to our higher consciousness Spirit and God by a silver cord which is not to be broken, so that we can return to from whence we came. The belief is that the soul leaves the body by rising through this silver cord and that is why in Christianity people are not to be buried before 4 days - to give the soul the time to leave the physical body through the cord. He died at 9:36 PM in the evening, by 8 AM or maybe before he was lying in state . That means they hurriedly enbalmed him in less than 12 hours. So it seems to me they did not give a chance for the soul to leave the cord before they disturbed it. Does anyone here know of the mystic teaching I speak of? And have any thoughts on it? my grandson, who was born on May 18, 2003 exactly on the minute after Mt St. Helens had errupted 23 years earlier (or was it 22? I never can remember) now gets to share a birthday with Pope Juan Pablo II (I love that...saw it on Spanish news)...I am going to check and see what 83 years makes in difference.... but I don't know how to check for eclipses and I don't have software for Arabian Parts. (I have a book, can't find it!) Will he be a big soul in this little body? Or a soccer player in a big body? hmmmmmm.....11th house Sun bracketed one deg. earch by north node and the asteroid which looks like a backwards question mark. Never can remember all of those damn asteroid symbols! Pallas...we said similar things in different ways....you are definitely living in spirit. I am more in a joke today. Guru energy can exist and run across many centuries - a very stong draw for souls to 'use', and that is why it is dangerous....that is what I learned at the Berkeley Psychic Center (Church of Divine Man).... Posted by: judi gemini on April 4, 2005 07:29 PMPallas...new threads have started, don't know if you will read this... Tibetan Book of the Dead .... probably find it online....43 days before burial in order to allow the soul to make the transition. Being irreverent today, I noticed that proof of death for the death of a pope was for a Cardinal to bang the forehead with a silver spoon......so THAT's where McCartney got his lyric for Maxwell's Silver Hammer.... Posted by: judi gemini on April 4, 2005 07:33 PMPallas, et al.- Hey folks.... Usually I'm a lurker here on this page- it's been one of my favorites for many years. Sally, you continue to do an outstanding job of helping to keep hope alive in this overgorged, oil-soaked, blood-spattered dinosaur of a superpower (but not for much longer I suspect). Keep up the good work Sally!! As an aside, I have done some digging into Malachy's list of popes. If memory serves me correctly, JP II's latin phrase was "De Labore Solis"- translated (most likely) as "the work of the Sun". Add to that the fact that his phrase COULD relate to the eclipse of the Sun (for those of us who know, JP II was born during an eclipse), and you start to get the idea. As a matter of fact, the next phrase from Malachy regarding the next Pope is "De Gloria Olivae" (the glory of the olive tree). Which is quite interesting, to say the least. Think on this for a moment. What what represented by an olive tree? Could it be someone with a Jewish background??? Something to consider.... Find the cardinal who used to be Jewish, and you have the man who will be the next Pope (or maybe Anti-Pope..) I know this may sound far fetched, but I would not type this if it were not the truth... Peace, Just to be flippant for a moment:Anyone else notice the similarities getween the Bush administration and the Borg?'Resistance is futile! You will be assimilated into the New World Corporate Order!'On a serious ending note, the Bush administration has just declared war on everyone else in space. I'm beginning to wonder if these clowns aren't rogue Scientologists who took L. Ron Hubbard's disgusting science-fiction vision of A future and are trying to make it THE future.Softwaredata recoveryVoIPWhat is WiFiInternet TelephonyVoIP ProviderVoIP SoftwareVoIP Services What is VoIPVoIP Phone SystemVoIP DrawbackVoIP ArchitectureVoIP Solutions VoIP ReviewsVoIP TechnologyWiFi CardsWiFi AntenaWiFi IEEE WiFi RangeWiFi WAPWiFi futureWiFi SecurityWiFi Hotspot WiFi BluetoothWiFi Drawbackwhat is data lossdata recoveryraid data recoverydata recovery softwarehard drive data recoverydata recovery servicehard disk data recoverydisk data recovery emergency data recoveryrecovery solutionsComputer Data RecoveryNetwork securityFireWall securityAbout UsNetwork securityContact usSite MapFirewallSecurity TipsFirewallRole of IPHacker TechnologiesVPNRelated Topics Application Layer AttacksIP AddressingIP Spoofing Netwark security scannerNetwork packet sniffersPassword attacksProtecting confidential informationSecurityTrusted Networkbusiness cardsflightsfirewallcar rentalnetwork securitycruisesweddingcorporate giftscheap flightsantivirus softwareBackground ChecksCRMVOIPFree VoIPDefinition of VOIPVoIP ArchitectureVOIP ReviewsAuto Telephone DialersUnlimited Free VOIPCRM software reviewsVOIP TechnologiesVoIP ProviderBPOERPAutomotive SoftwareFree driver downloadsVoIP ArchitectureMedical billing softwareConstruction softwareDatabase managementWeb designing softwarevideo conferencingsecure video conferencingweb vs video conferencingconferencingPOS softwareGamesLindsay LohanLindsay LohanLindsay Lohan BiographyLindsay Lohan GalleryLindsay Lohan RumorsLindsay Lohan NewsLindsay Lohan Top Movie'sLindsay Lohan GlamorLindsay Lohan Life StyleLindsay Lohan Parent Trap Lindsay Lohan's DVDBackground ChecksBackground Checks Education VerificationEmployment VerificationBackground ChecksAsset SearchBankruptcy RecordsBusiness BackgroundContractor ScreeningDrivers LicenseScuba DivingScuba DivingRescueScuba Diving EquipmentHot spotsRecreational divingCommercial divingScientific diving Diving suitsScuba Diving LessonsStaying fit for divingService ProvidersHealth Check-up for diving Places for Scuba Divingbackground checksdata recoverywifiscuba divingnetwork securitylindsay lohanvoipconferencingsoftware Posted by: VoIP on April 26, 2005 12:25 PMI agree with you .
