Song
We all come from the goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
We all come from the sun god
And to him we shall return
Like a spark of fire
Returning to the open sky

Hey woowoo adventurers, John here.
Here is another example of the future communication by David Hazen OR Department of Peace coordinator:
Here is another example of the future communication by David Hazen OR Department of Peace coordinator:
A bridge to peace and survival
A friend of mine asked for some brief ideas on “Where do we go from here?” Oftentimes the best way to see the path forward is to start from the distant goal and ask what has to happen before that, and before that, etc. Starting from the top goal and working backwards to the more immediate goal, this is my crazy idea for a bridge to world security:
Some day in the near future, within our lifetime: The U.S. Congress authorizes and funds a Department of Peace or something like it, perhaps transforming the Homeland Security, Education, Health and State Departments to be well-funded agencies focused on violence prevention and human development. The United Nations acquires greater loyalty from its members and investing $60 billion per year provides shelter, health care, AIDS control, adequate nutrition for everyone on the planet over a 10-year period. Literacy and citizenship become universal. Churches are de-institutionalized and spirituality is commonly integrated into everyday life.
Before that happens: The pro-warriors agree that security is the goal. Lobbying develops into a highly creative art form. Nonviolence becomes a household word, and major conflicts transformed nonviolently are more common, recognized, and extolled. Corporations begin producing peace-building products and services on a large scale because it becomes profitable. The UN reforms into a more democratic, horizontal partnership of nations. Religious leadership is shared with lay persons, experiential testimony takes precedence over dogmatic beliefs, and ancient scripture is deeply understood.
Before that happens: The anti-warriors, the pro-peace-builders, and environmentalists agree that the means are the ends in the making. They create a united movement that presents an in-depth evaluation of strategies for security on a cost-benefit basis. The movement takes ownership of media broadcast networks producing nonviolent entertainment, news of progress in the environmental and nonviolence fields, educational programs on lifestyle change and citizenship skill-building. Major funding is acquired from progressive globalized corporations who leverage their influence on U.S. Congress and the United Nations.
Before that happens: The Peace Alliance (promoting a U.S. Dept. of Peace) unites with just ONE other group, possibly Beyond War or Nonviolent Peaceforce. Partnership becomes the new trend among environmental, anti-war, and peace groups. Corporate partners are enlisted in support of economic sustainability. Effective boycotts of corporations involved in damaging practices are organized. Specific plans are developed for re-tooling the weapons, petroleum and automotive industries into ultra-efficient organic production systems for new forms of transportation, housing, water purification, energy generation, agriculture.
A year from now: All the pro-peace groups who are working to build a culture of peace, the ones who have endorsed The Peace Alliance, everyone from the social justice and environmental movements, and anyone else who wants to come, meet in a large, open field under a huge tent with world-wide video linkups with similar audiences. Small donations from millions of people come pouring in. Some music, some meditation, and much conversation about goals occurs. Not much is said about strategies and no final conclusions are reached on the rational-intellectual level, but enough emotional-spiritual electricity is generated to fry the circuits of NBC and ABC. Fox News is speechless.

Aries New Moon, April 14, 2010
For OpEdNews: Cathy Lynn Pagano - Writer
Many astrologers regard the new Moon in Aries as the true beginning of the New Year. And if you think about it, it makes sense. Who amongst us really gets things started in January?With the return of the light and longer days, we get energized to begin to manifest all those dreams and hopes we imagined at the Winter Solstice.
So, what are we to make of this new beginning? All the myths (religious and earth-based) of Spring speak to us of new life and new possibilities after a time of sleep and death.
If you've been following the Cosmic Story of the past year, you know that there is meaning in all the madness of the past year and a half. Pluto's entry into Capricorn in November 2008 erupted in the world financial crisis. The first of five Saturn/Uranus oppositions occurred on Election Day in America, and so began the intense opposition between the Old and the New (we won't get into how "new' Obama's policies are).
We've had two of three Saturn/Pluto squares now, one in November 2009 and the second at the end of January 2010, with the third coming in August 2010, heralding more dark revelations about some of our cherished institutions (such as the Papacy). Saturn is structure, Pluto is regeneration. What old behaviors and structures in your life have proven to be less than viable or have fallen by the wayside?
There was also a very big conjunction of planets /asteroid/nodes in Aquarius, offering us a chance to imagine a new vision of world unity or else opening some to the continuing delusions of American individualism and the illusion of personal freedom in a corporate world state. Are you inspired to do something new for the betterment of the world?
And so we find ourselves at a new beginning. How have you changed in the past few years?How have your values and your hopes changed? How inspired are you by the possibilities of creating a new society, or how afraid are you of changing realities? You need to know who you are and what you want before you can begin to live a new life.
This Aries New Moon calls us to courage and new vision. Because we still have to go through seven (7) challenging squares between Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries between 2012 and 2014, as well as the T-square formed by Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus/Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Libra. These are the energies that originally joined up in the 60's and which are taking us through the revolutionary and evolutionary process of cultural change once again.
As you can see, the new life you envision and plant at this new Moon in Aries will manifest in the midst of these changes and challenges. What do you really need to enhance your life? Can you enhance your life while trying to better the whole society?
Aries really wants to establish a unique identity, to pioneer a new way of being. Think of a volcano - that's how Aries creates new territory. Life rushes up and out and boldly goes where no one has gone before. So become the archetypal character you discovered yourself to be while Mars (who rules Aries) retrograded in Leo and from that standpoint IMAGINE what kind of new life you want to create. And know that you can.
It's time to become a warrior for life, not death. It's time to grapple with your personal issues and our collective issues. That's what the ancient Roman god Mars did he grappled with the issues that confronted Rome. He defended his Home/City/State/Country.That's what warriors do. This new Moon in Aries calls us to open to our warrior nature, to our pioneer, to our inner hero/ine.
Aries teaches us courage (remember Ava) and the will to overcome any obstacles. Aries is assertive, honest, feisty, enthusiastic and independent and meets life head-on. (Aries does rule the head.) So don't forget to ask for these qualities when you plant your Aries seeds this new Moon, because when Uranus goes into Aries for a few months this summer, you get to make your own rules.
At this new Moon, Aries' ruler Mars is in Leo and it inconjuncts Pluto in Capricorn. An inconjunct is a 150* angle which creates frustration and continual adjustments between the two energies involved so that we ultimately release old patterns of behavior.Mars and Pluto are very similar energies having to do with our real desires and how we go after them. Mars inconjunct Pluto demands that we pursue activities that transform our lives. But people also fear this kind of energy, and so we'll see many people hanging on for dear life to their control rather than implement the changes that can bring healing and strength to our individual lives and to our culture.
Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius both inconjunct Saturn now that it's back in Virgo. Saturn is retrograde and re-entered Virgo on April 7 and will be there until it returns to Libra for good on July 21. While Saturn is in Virgo, keep working on your health, your nutrition and your discernment. This is you last chance this Saturn cycle to get to know yourself before you look to know another. With Neptune inconjunct Saturn, we have to figure out the difference between illusion and reality. And I'm sure this will play out in the collective as well as the personal.
Venus joins Mercury in Taurus and they both have a wonderful relationship to Pluto, so use this energy to decide what brings you peace, what you really value and how you might bring those qualities into society through your personal relationships and through your work.
The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon at 25* Aries is: The possibility for man to gain experience at two levels of being. The image denotes a revelation of new potentialities. This image is a call to be open to spirit and to shape your life based on your inner spiritual power, your Self. We are at the edge of a new evolutionary stage, which provides us with the possibility of incarnating our spiritual identity through the correct relationship to our ego identity. The potential is there we just have to manifest it.
