China_confirms_its_first_case_of_swine_flu

Chatting with a friend recently i found my self speaking to myself in parody resulting in a newly realised aspect to personal reality. It was with regard to psychosimatic ailments and remedial activity. Me being a tobacco smoker, i asserted, the cost of our self destructive activities shouldnt be bourne by our fellows. It is, after all us who desire our own difficulties which grow from our activity.
If one should choose to eat "junk" foods, resulting in high bad cholesterol, consuming unnessecary fats, sugar and salt it is us who inflict the logical conclusion upon ourselves. Bearing in mind, all the while the bodys metabolism is being deprived of nessecary nutrition also as a result of these choices, inducing a function below optimum in performance.
What can one say.
How obvious can logic be.
For a nunber of years now, i have been of the considered opinion
a very high percentage of ailments are psychosomatic. Self inflicted.
Whether in ignorance, laziness, self destructive tendancies, what ever,
we engage in unhealthy choices, sometimes with gratuitous pleasure.
During the last century we allowed ourselves the privilage
of dumping responsibility for our health upon an industry
who have come to thrive and become dependant upon our patronage.
This is not to say the entire health care industry is capotolist by nature,
but, those who are seek to harness the generous, selfless offerings there-in.
What is one to do ?
Me retire from cigarettes ?
Fast food become undesirable ?
Where do limits lie ?
I feel, of nessecity, the median line of consensus must return
to a place where we are required to assume responsibility
for our choices and favored activities.

A new age dawns.

I would like to sieze this opportunity to be the devils advocate with a view to soliciting appraisals of the following astrological scenario

This is a little way in, beyond the dawning of the age of Aquarius.
Aquarius, as we know, is an air (cultivated thought processes) influence but, also has a water expression woven into it, The reluctance to unconditionally commit for fear of the "bondage" implications, but, needing subtlty in interfacing. Hence, the concerned, impassioned, patriarchal archetype who, academicly, wants an idealised better condition for all, even at the cost of chaos.
Pluto in Capricorn makes the establishment fair game. Karma will find expression.
Those is positions of public influence and power, needing prolateriat approval, refine the craft of displaying vote earning magnanamousness, minimising demonstrations of mediocrity. Deception, of nessecity, becomes a requirement for maintainence of perpetuity.
Refining these skills may remove a person from the substance of reality, The persona finding expression through the prism of consolidated energies to trusted loyal partners in life, and another contrived expression for every one else.

Any one out there have any thought you might wish to share re the above post.
PS. Will add to this later.
Best wishes to all.

Where are we going.

Posted on Apr 28th, 2009 by

These appear as heady days in our evolving as a society
with president Obamah calling for comprehensive downsizing
toward elimination of nuclear weopans.
For me, this is a first.

Our Australian and other western governments
dispensing resources to almost all, accompanied
by encouragement to spend like there is no tomorrow.

The frivolous greed of our captains of industry
bringing on the credit crunch and a near universal
recognition of the tangible threat of terrorism
and the power plays of war lords.
(This being most relavent in the 3rd world.)

For me these spell issues of security.

Not being overly burried in scripture of the bible,
a passage wich strikes my mind is the "mark of the beast",
where one is unable to buy or sell with out this facility.

I am inclined to view a credit card of some sort,
or micro chip perhaps, a device which would be
able to establish an individuals identity with certainty
resolving concerns re allocation to and use of resources.
Cash becomes redundant.
Also, such a device would resolve security issues,
re terrorism and crime at a personal
and collective level and seems inevitable.

Regarding the credit crunch saga.

Posted on Mar 29th, 2009 by

Leo

Recent developments which have caught my attention are as follows.

The CEO of General Electric Corporation describing his perception
of corporate executive management not having "domain knowledge.
Domain knowledge, in a nut shell, is the knowledge
of the nuts and bolts mechanics
of the business being managed.

Also, the revelation that Harvard business school
and similar western institutions are primarily responsible
for the wayward activities of delinquint
corporate executives due to self serving precepts
advocated by these schools.

Greed.

Posted on Mar 26th, 2009 by

Leo

Having times of abundance, comfort and security never before known in civilisations, we find our selves desiring still greater reward in exchange for less input,
Seeing the few above having more and the multitude below having less,
only feeling moved to aggrandise our selves still further.

Satisfaction loses definition
with one seeing most clearly what one covets?

If lust for affluence were a psychiatric disorder or moral transgression
with individuals considering only their selves
not regarding the welfare of the collective whole,
exposing them selves as a rampant parasite.

How much more integrity and genuine happiness
would be ours were we to content our selves
with what is sufficient for today
trusting providence for tomorrows needs.

I am hoping a new day dawns when greed and lust for power
are recognised as symptoms of a psychiatric disorder
and these disease ridden victims remedially treated,
lest they infect or abuse those about them.

G 20 gathering.

Why havent these people considered the alternative
of adaptng to a low growth scenario as being desirable
for the benefit of the environment and us also.

Can frailty and insecurity hold such sway
that the resultant greed has one being blinkered.

Live for today as tomorrow may not come.
But, then, it may arrive too.

The Y generation being, largely, the fodder for the predators
inhabiting our financial institutions,
They not having generic experience of constraint.
Steep learning curve ahead for some.
More of the same for the wrinklies.

I hear the young saying they are learning from what we have done
(by way of percieving body language )
and choosing not to hear what is said,
as they are brighter, sharper, and know their own way through this maze,
till an impass is met.

We have divorce rates, latch key kids,
non ownership of the managment of our families
to describe our selves.
Cant blame them for feeling reluctance to follow in our steps.

Credit crunch pathology.

Posted on Nov 15th, 2008 by

Leo

The road to somewhere,
for some,
the road to nowhere for many others.

A period of weeks before the Credit crunch made it 's presence known,
the world bank governing authority in Switzerland warned that the worlds national governments need to refrain from bailing out financially troubed corporations lest the cost of doing so
drag down the system "collectively".
The bill for such indulgence stops with the tax payer after all.

For the 3rd wold this has the potential to bring about greater parity,
though every one (excepting those top tier residents) would be bought lower in the process.

Like the boy with his finger in the dyke, the situation deteriates uncontrolably.

It would appear the name of the game is statistics and the apparent health and appearance of gross national product for individual nations.
Assocated with this are jobs, productivity, tun over and retail profits.
Creit ratings also rate a mention at a national, corporate and individual level.

Very possibly a depreciation in these bench marks
would be a "god send" for Gaia.
For people generally,
though, there may well be a degree of "pain" incurred en route.

Much needed respite for Gaia.
Respite from the rape and pillage of what ever resurces are available
at what best price is available.

What ever comes to pass mother earth and some fostered life forms
will surive and continue to evolve even in a worst case scenario.
Mother earth possibly being more toxic
for its "civilised" inhabitants
if we had our gratuitously adventitious way.

Though, for us to flourish in prevailing socio ecoomic climate and envronment,
it will be nessecry for enclaves to evolve designed to accomodate
the dominant classes of the status quo,leaving those lacking control of resources
in an even less advantaged disposition.
For better or worse we are becomming more in need of sheltered environs,
shaping us to be less dextrous in our abiliy to adapt.

The survival of the status quo known and understood.
Posessing resources pre bubble
and the ability to aquire the same after the bubble
is part of the difference between success and failure.

Timing is every thing for these people.

The same individuals remain at the helm,
having aquired the skills requird to "bleed" the system
to their own advantage.
A high foodchain beast being watchfull for the most vulnerable in a herd,
Warren Buffet is quoted as having said, "being bullish when all about is bearish, and vica verca, is the way to go".
Opportunity is more available at these times.

We are in untested territory now, and, while most of us might not grasp
the gravity of what is comming to pass,
it would appear to hold some influence on our lives,
even at a grass roots level.

It is my hope that raw unabashed greed be recognised for what it is
and the proponents of such regarded as social pariahs,
given that one can most readily be afluent by sucking resouces
from another who is less powerfull and more vulerable.

A gutless coward would seek out the most vulnerable
to stand atop so as to appear "bigger", in the school play ground.

Such is life.

With interest rates being "attractive" and stock prices being relatvely low, one could purchase resources with other peoples money, the resouces paying for themseles at the end of the day, there by, the "knowing" among us, becomming more like what they are able to understand their plan in life to be with minimum risk and effort.

As things stand, perhaps one third of us are living on a dollar per day while a powefull minorty require an income measured in perhaps, "millions of $".
At that point money takes on a different purpose, being a means to power.
Keeping up with the Jones's becomes a thing of the past,
going on to "bigger" and "better" things.
"they" becomming todays equivalent of yesterdays royalty,
celebrities in effect, at the uppermost tiers, further feeding ego centric asperations,
making their own rules as opportunity and nessescity facilitates.

Can these people be viewed as inscure individuals,
fragile and wanton,
with their attatchment to what they understand
the substance of their living to be.
when they could choose to be one of the rest of us.

Evolution of entity.

Posted on Nov 1st, 2008 by

Leo

Ever evolving, becomming more refined,
or rusting away in the matrix of time and space,
Returning to its basic constituents
to be made available for yet anther enterprise,
in this fantastic experiment,
Designed to faciitate an evolution of entity, environs and circumstance.
Even with demise, we bequeath the fruit
of our interfacing to those folowing.

Is the glass half full or half empty.
Are we too close to see it all clearly.
Many colours and flavours.
No time to stop and smell the roses.
No time for one to examine ones self.

Time, that "bitch". She is a comodity too.

Could we be central to creation,
or
creation central to us.

Who is to say.
From where is who's perspective.
From who is where's perspective.

Desiring to see what is unfit for us,
and wanting what we see.

We humans are a parochial crew.
Security takes all shapes and forms.
What is the measure and how are we to use it ?
What is worthy of measurement, it figuring so prominently in our lives.

In keeping with my understanding of astrological proclivities and pre-dispositions we all have those parameters aquired,
by way of pre determined conditioning,
to move within,
expanding our horizons
within the limitations of our personal realities.

Quality of choice determining our evolution of circumstance.
Collectives also, as collectives have a beginning and end too.

Apparently there is a fecundity of life all about us,
dynamic beyond our imaginings or understanding.

All this while, a myriad of miracles,
for the most part going unnoticed.
We are preoccupied with the mundaneness
of what comes to pass.
In another place in time and space
we might find capacity for appreciation
of this realm of "being" as an incredable gift.

In the "real" world, comfort, security and indulgence
might take a back seat, making way for hard choices,
decisions not nesecarily agrandoising ego centric exercises.

I have been led to believe we are here on this plane of existance
for the opportunity to evolve in a dramatic way
not possible in other planes of existance.
This premise seems eligant to me and in keeping with the "Edgar Cayce"
understanding of what is happening.

Surely this could not come about by accident.

Consolidation time.

Posted on Sep 27th, 2008 by

If we can feel blessed to witess the evolution of recent events re the Wall Street dilema as to whether to accept the win fall donation from Washington.
If these pillars of comerce would be able to repay their "life buoy" donation with interest to the benefcioner, namely, the tax payers who finance and subsidise Washinton, who have seen fit to be so magnanamous with "our" resources.
Consider it an investment. Wont they.
The ass holes have hung us out to dry.
They have amased enough wealth from doing scams directed at undermining our integrity, for the purpose of their being able to cotinue an afluent life style even though our quality of life suffers another dive.
That beng a direct result of their activities.

Such is life.

These bastards would be the first to beg for asistance while decent folk suffer what ever comes upon them, but, still, their lack of personal integrity and sheer gaul allows them to require of us, "ordinary" people their continued extreme comfort.
Life in the corporate world offers so much panache.
Ego centricity so available. So much to indulge. Pleasures aplenty.
Who could resist.
I am not so bold as to decare i might withstand such temptations were they so at hand, for one so available.

Whether we are a producer or a consumer, i dread to concede we are the culprit.
We have pre occupied our selves wth consumerism.
We did this.

They might have proven adept at facilitting the whole proces but, collectively, we have done this.
Perhaps a reslt of the "I Am" amd "I Want" generaions. What ever.
The advertising and other tools available to capitolism might have fueled our "needs", but, it woud seem we were willing victims.
If a niche were left unfilled an organism would become dextrous in adapting to that particular micro climate to facilitate domination and ego centricity in what ever was desirble to them at that time, whether misguided or not.
A parasite will often exhaust its host, eventually.
Such is life.
Affluence does have a cost, and, there is the wear and tear incurred en route. One can become overly attracted to certain influences and repelled from others, these not nessecaily having parachial unrcurrents, but, rather, seem to have universal qualities common to all humanity.
A need for self agrandoisemet and expression of ego-centrities is not exclusive to any one person or people or collective generally.
I kind of hope i am victim of these infuences too, because i want to be one of every one else and no one is spared.
Not to worry, it will pass.
Even the influence of Saturn, though often challenging, has a consolidating affect which generally, produces an organism of greater integrtrity.
After riding on the back of Giai (planet Earth) for some considerable time, a credit crunch might be a much needed blessing for the vector as well as the infected and the infection, our foot prints "soiling life" as we know it.

The future of our future.

Posted on Jun 28th, 2008 by

Leo

Food, indululgence and sustenance.
Breeding and farming of micro organisms in industrial vats such as yeasts enriched with what ever nutritional requirements we may possess sees a way forward, given environmental toxicity and loss of arable space for conventonal farming methods with reduced attentive labour and energy input.
Which ever mineral or vitamin might be most required or desirable could be incorporated in to the brew.
I dont intend to convey this being desirable but choices deminish.
That being so available, we all become more homoginised, (one being what they consume, through what ever sensory facility) us becomming more and more homoginised and pasturised. This encompases media out put.
While our collective human "character" takes on definition, our micro social climate also takes on its prevailing substance with similar tactileness,
Can we understand ourselves to be victims or sheep-herded into an inconvenient corner by "unworthy" shepards.

Energy and catalysts.
Presently we are experiencing energy supply and demand difficulties but, in due course we may come to understand there is no shortage at all, as we are in a soup of energy and the difficulty is in asking the correct question, then to find the best suited answer.
Kestler, drawing energy from the environment and, or atmosphere.
Apparently this man lit up Grand canyon with energy drawn from the atmosphere.
All is energy and there is not any thing else, in keeping with the prevailing string theory of quantum physics.

Society and inter-personal relations.
Largely estranged using 19th century norms as a measure.
At present we instill in those in our care an awareness of stranger danger of nesesicity with a view to avaidng pain and grief.
This phenomena taken to it's logical conclusion promotes insularity, particularly with regard to those with different characteristics evident being isolated or compartmentalised for our greater convenience.
After all, if it could happen to them, it could happen to me.
Better these things and people be out of sight.
Interfacing becomes a process of initiating protocols.
An insular orientation peripheral to what we understand to be the substance of society becomes desirable as other individuals are unknown variables embodying potential threat and unnessecary hazard.
In due course i belive it to be expected that genetic screening wil become mandatory as a means of discerning who is suitable to be incorporated into society, exclusion being on the basis of social eptitude or pysical fitnes, there by cutting overheads in the management of human frailties.
Anticipating conditioning programs of expedient content.
Socialism, of nessecity, becomes a thing of the past with compassion carrying too great a cost. The hand which feeds may be bitten. User pays as the bottom line becomes more an imperitive.
The age of Aquarius is idealistic and visionary, but, void of compassion.

Genetics and evolution.
Personally, i am inclined to believe the genetic code is not
a static blue print
but subject to prevailing influences
and, unfortunately, manipulation.

Given the desire for expedience in meeting challenges
we may deem eradication or enhancement of human natures expressions
through us, we thus becomming more thouroughly homoginised.

Communications and transport.
Conventional fuels become exorbinant
adding to cost of comodities.
Trade locally will become relavent choice
for improved quality of produce and better value.

Apparently, gravity beneath a spinning super conductor
is reduced or anulled to some extent.
UFO's, should they exist, I presume,
are composed of super conductive material,
and, as have been depicted, they quickly spin.
With gravity not a factor, or less so, transport of cargo and people
becomes less a problem.
The ability to focus gravity, and harness such energy
is easily capable of transforming our capacity for transport
with reduced energy input.

Comerce and Industry.
Unversal currency metamorphosing into transaction card, this being increasingly a choice of nessecity.

Environment
The environment becomes toxic.
Acid rain and the climate
change has conditions becomming hostile
for vegetative live forms.
Toxicity affecting human population also,
the afluent affording closed and supported environments.
Air and water filtration in particular being basic needs.

The toxicity presenting ever greater health problems,
most graphicly, due to their social impact,
re psychiatric conditions, general physical malaise,
which tests the durability of the social fabric.
At present depression and schitzafrenia
are becomming relatively common.
As these illnesses become more prevalent
and not managed with chemical straight jackets,
manifesting in transgressions againt each other,
those able to will tend to exclusivity.
The afluent respond by aboding in enclaves
for safety from the ferile and the environment.

A situation prevails among our contemporary scientific community re canvasing contingencies to cope with and mitigate global warming.
The idea comming to the fore involves
injecting phosphates in to the atmosphere,
there-by reducing the solar radiation
impacting upon the earth.
One side effect of this may be acidifying the oceans
at a greater rate than would otherwise be.
As i understand it, more than 90% of our oxygen
comes from the flora of the oceans.
A desperate situation prevails.
Governments take these ideas seriously if they appear
to cut corners and abrogate the sociol and economic
implications of our prevailing liabilities.
Oxygen or non toxic air becomes a comodity available
to those with available recources.
User pays.
Amenities and resources we have taken for granted in the past
become allocated to the afluent and influential.
I understand the following to be prevailing at present.
In any case, global warming or not,
the health of our oceans have been assailed for some time now
,eg: with dumping of nuclear waste,
the plastic polution of the north Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,
gradual acidification of entire biosphere.
The Pacific holding implications for the southern ossilation.
The Atlantic affecting the gulf stream.
These are arguabley driving forces
for this planets weather impetus.
Atmospheric pollutants settling on the oceans
might only accelate the situation to it's
logical acidic stagnant conclusion.
The burden of "plastic soup" delivering drag to nessecary motion
for sustenance of traditional paterns

It is a big job wrecking an entire biosphere rendering it inhospitable
for the vast array of life forms which have evolved
to be a companion occupying almost every niche,
but, i believe we are able and willing
to rise to the occasion, unfortunately.
