Rick, EVERYBODY had emotions surface to the top

[kimmerspixelated]

today in meditation. Everybody, even the leader!

Of all your predictions about Uranus and the Revolution (esp. personal), the Dec. 10th date was spot on, really powerful everywhere, everyone is changing their place in life, or WILL be!

I'm just glad the retrograde, which was like adding piping hot salsa to the whole thing, I mean really!, seems to be lessening....

But I must ask...IF we feel the intense energies from so very far away from the planets in question, my God, what does it feel like when you get close to them, even a thousand miles away? We'll probably never really know, but energies, energies! Isn't it a good thing we aren't very close to one another??(the planets)

Oh man! Is the Uranus movement gaining momentum, and how long did you say it would be in this position of such powerful revolution?

1. Our distance from the planets means nothing.

Remember, time and space are illusory.

They have no "effect" upon us. They are symbols, like reading a clock. How else could Pluto, the most powerful of all, be the smallest and farthest away.

Don't try to use your Aquarian brain to make sense of it, because no one has yet. As above, so below. It also has nothing to do with "energy", in my opinion. It has to do with, get this, ISness.

I've tried for 35 years to explain the unexplainable. A planets position is TOTALLY related to the moment of Spring of the year in which we are measuring it. It's all related to Spring. Western Geocentric Tropical astrology.

clear as mud
all I KNOW is that it works.

What would your chart look like; act like if you were born on the space shuttle between Earth and the Moon?
Inquiring minds wanna know.

Uranus just left 0 degrees of Aries where it will be transiting the whole sign for 7 years.

3. Interesting.

But I can't help myself. I can't stop my mind from jumping where it jumps.But I will try to remember more often the ISness of the bisness!

11. I can unmistakeably feel energetic variance when some planets come into action

so to speak. Just before the eclipse this month, whoof. Uranus coming into play? A knock-out. Pluto? Look all around you. I can certainly tie my energetic sense into the planets; they each have vibration and depth. Chiron is huge even though it's not a planet, for example.

2. About ISness

Ever since I read Thomas Berry's History of the Universe, I have thought of God as The Great Is. In the story of Moses and the burning bush, this God identifies Itself as "I Am That I Am." Berry's book made it so clear to me that I Am is a unified, creative, intelligent energy in constant self-evolution and in a constant search for self-revelation. And we, connected to the I Am with our own consciousness, are the vital coworkers in that process. Tapping into the infinite IS, being aware that we are one with it, is what puts us into the flow of peace, harmony, love, wisdom, justice, and spirit, which all help us to meet challenges and be the best we can be.

I am = the IS
that = involved in process
I am = of expansion of that consciousness

4. Wow, thanks for the resource!

We are always in constant self-evaluation, we are God.
Thomas Berry. Thanks I'll look him up!

5. Excellent! Perfectly said!

And so hard to say in regards to astrology.

When Pluto goes over your Sun, for example, it goes over everybody's because there is no one separate from you.
I know it's very hard to ascertain.

God is all and has no parts.
He/She/It just IS

The reason we can't find it with our mind is that if we do, then IT is automatically separate; therefore false and non-existent.
That's straight from A Course In Miracles and I'm sure many other sources.

6. Astrology as a road map

I have long thought of astrology as a road map. It isn't that the planets have an influence on us, it's that by looking at their arrangements from our perspective we can get a sense of where we are metaphorically. Or metaphysically, if you want.

[Ricochet21]

7. We ARE the planets

and everything else too.
I know it sounds nutso.

9. Rick, I want to express gratitude

for all that you teach us. What a wonderful year of learning and deep inspiration!

[kimmerspixelated]

8. I love your take on this.

Are you an astrologer, too?

[The Blue Flower]

10. no, not an astrologer

Mostly a metaphysician. I've always looked for the spiritual aspect of physical circumstances and situations. A seeker of the hidden blessing in a life of challenge.
