Starlight News' latest post is about the power grab in Wisconsin.

[tanyev]

I love the first paragraph:

Impervious to reality and obsessed with their own agenda to strip the US government down to an empty husk, today’s Republican Party is attempting to steamroll America back into the 19th Century. Their Utopian dream resembles a cinematic, sanitized version of the Wild West, with few laws, lots of guns, and “survival of the fittest” in a world where Darwin doesn’t exist. In this white, Christian fantasy-land, prosperity and good health are a testament to righteousness, while the victims of sickness and poverty are somehow morally suspect. Any suggestion of sacrifice for the good of the community is seen as anathema to the much-hallowed pioneer spirit of rugged individualism and an affront to an untouchable and ill-defined freedom.

Don't know if Nancy still checks in on this forum, but that is some powerful wordsmithing. :applause:

1. Wow, very great wordsmithing! "morally suspect" is exactly right!

My ex-family always had those stickers on their cars/trucks that say, "Keep working, millions on welfare depend on you". :puke:

Now you know why I consider them EX-family. :)

Thanks Tanyev! :hi:

4. "...the global corporate agenda".

Yes.

"...with Pluto stirring up the progressed Uranus/Sun combination for five months, we may be seeing much more popular agitation and rebellion through May."

Yes...

5. I've been wondering about the proportions of 2012 versus the 3rd and lower dimensions on/about Earth

and according to some charts I've seen discussed, those of scott walker and others of his ilk, they don't up and croak at the end of 2012 as the full positive energy descends. The positive energy may not be an absolute bar against those who harbor negative direction and energy, although depending upon the amount of energy you put out, the negative is still what you'll get back in kind -in proportion-, so some of these selfishnesses will malinger on into 2013, still looking to cause their way of living to be the only way. They defeat themselves through their inappropriateness, however there is also the question of how much National negative karma the USA will have to lose before the corporate agenda fails utterly, as we wish it would. The Maharishi said that the people of a country are indeed responsible for its leaders' actions as well as is the leader, etc. so there is the question of the caucasion invasion of America, enslavement of the natives, enslavement of the Africans, playing world police and invading several foreign countries (including the invasion of Iraq specifically for oil, to leach money from the government into the mil/indus complex, and to work upon destroying the western economy, America's specifically). America may have some 'splainin' to do before this is over.

Some beings will separate themselves from the overall and not take part in the general society, as they should; the responsibility for actions makes it more difficult to involve one's self with that not fully seeking the 4th and higher vibrational dimensions. Manifestation is not necessarily full and instantaneous for everyone, it depends upon your heart energy and your level of skill and or specific spiritual development. Again, personal, national, and world karma are factors in the new energy. The planets still have their influence, although it may be possible for the advanced to brush it aside.

Where the species goes from 2013 onward is the big question, and its process is my big interest.

7. Oh, Yeah!

From what I've read there are actually nine dimensions. B-HAND CLOW discusses it in detail, but I still haven't wrapped my brain around how to meditate my way there, without the aid of course, of the Photon Band we will be passing through, that is..which may activate us...

8. Cool, Norse Mythology has 9 home worlds.

A cosmic ash tree, Yggdrasill, lies at the center of the Norse cosmos. Three roots drink the waters of the homeworlds, one in the homeworld of the gods, the Æsir, one in the homeworld of the giants, the Jǫtnar, and one in the homeworld of the dead. Beneath the root in the world of the frost giants is the spring of Mimir, whose waters contain wisdom and understanding.<1>

The root in the Æsir homeworld taps the sacred wellspring of fate, the Well of Urðr. The tree is tended by the Norns, who live near it. Each day, they water it with pure water and whiten it with clay from the spring to preserve it. The water falls down to the earth as dew.

Animals continually feed on the tree, threatening it, but its vitality persists evergreen as it heals and nourishes the vibrant aggression of life.<2> On the topmost branch of the tree sits an eagle. The beating of its wings cause the winds in the world of men. At the root of the tree lies a great serpent, Niðhǫggr, gnawing at it continuously. The squirrel Ratatosk carries insults from one to the other. Harts and goats devour the branches and tender shoots.


Nine Homeworlds

The phrase 'nine homeworlds' is Níu Heimar in Old Norse. Relating to another term heima meaning 'home' or 'homestead', the term heimr means a 'place of abode' in the sense of a homeland or 'region', or in a larger sense a 'world'.<5> These nine homeworlds include the earth, called Miðgarðr, the homeworld where humans as a family dwell.


Poetic Edda


Thus there are at least six worlds, each being the homeworld of a particular family of beings. Inferrably, they correspond to the following place names mentioned elsewhere in the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda.

1. Menn (humans): Manheimr (see Miðgarðr).
2. Aesir (gods): Ásaheimr (see Ásgarðr).
3. Vanir (gods): Vanaheimr.
4. Jötnar (giants): Jötunheimr.
5. Álfar (elves): Álfheimr.
6. Náir (corpses, the other world of the dead): Hel.


The homeworld of the Dvergar is missing from the above list. Elsewhere, the poem mentions the Dvergar separately from the other families of beings. For example, Alvíssmál 14 lists the Dvergar as distinct from the Álf. Moreover the two place names, Álfheimr and Svartálfaheimr, confirm there are two separate heimar or 'homeworlds', one for each family. The byname Svartálfar or 'Black Elves' refers to the Dvergar.<6> and likewise Svartálfaheimr or the 'Homeworld of the Black Elves' is the home of the dwarf Brokkr (Skáldskaparmál 46). Alternatively, the home of the Dvergar is called Niðavellir or the 'Downward Fields' (Völuspá 37). Thus, these families of beings mentioned in the poem Alvíssmál are identified with seven of the nine homeworlds.<7>

7. Svartálfar (Dark Elves, Dvergar, Døkkálfar): Svartálfaheimr.

Seven homeworlds for seven families of beings. The last two of the homeworlds are less certain. Usually, the list adds the primordial realms of the elements of ice and fire, counting them as 'homeworlds'.<8><9> The place name of the element of ice, Niflheimr, means the arctic 'Mist Homeworld', suggesting it is one of the Nine 'Homeworlds'.

8. Primordial element of Ice: Niflheimr.
9. Primordial element of Fire: Muspellsheimr.

A tenth "heimr" can be found in Grímnismál and Gylfaginning; Glaðsheimr, the location of Valhalla. But it is usually considered to be within Ásaheimr, or ignored altogether.


I find this interesting as lately I have been struck with many parallels and synergies in religion, legend, fable and fairytale.
Prayers sound like spells, the heavy messaging I was getting at a work inservice thing (I work for a Catholic institution). Notably "Brother and Sister" the intention of behaving as if each patient was a relative (uncle, aunt,) the story of a shamanistic ritual required for the survivors of a patient who had passed away; the discussion of the sacred within every person. The imagery that is used (so pagan, thinly veiled). As well I have completed watching Pillars of the Earth in which the currupt Church officials are exposed and how easily people are manipulated and led using their faith as a tool. Anyway, enough stream of consiousness I just wanted to share my thoughts about this as I have been having an ongoing discussion with my son regarding these themes. The most recent is whether he thinks of the possiblity of giants and dragons walking the earth in times before antiquity as they are in legend, fairy tale, bible, greek and norse mythology, Eastern mythology etc. He thinks not because of lack of fossil evidence. He is very interested in a paper he is writing on creationism vs. evolution.
