“This Was Their Finest Hour”

Battle of Britain (July 10, 1940 – October 31, 1940)

I started looking at this time period, after being prompted by the headline on the back cover of XPD. June 10, 1940 was the date of the Fall of France after only a month to Nazi Germany. The premise in Len Deighton’s book was that Churchill and Hitler had a secret meeting. I’m not sure they would have found the time.

The Dunkirk evacuation had already taken place, and Churchill was now preparing the nation for the prospect of invasion by the Germans. Here is the final page of the text of his speech which he gave to Parliament on June 18, 1940:

Little did he know that he was being prophetic: in just three weeks after this speech, the Blitzkrieg started. The Battle of Britain was over by October 31, 1940, and the British had won their skirmish.

When I raised this chart, about three or four years ago, I decided the Germans would have started the bombardment of shipping fleets at 8 am. It was an arbitrary choice of time, since no accounts of WWII actually specify when the battle began. And yet, there are two connected inconjuncts:

Moon Inconjunct Midheaven

You may be unable to follow one path consistently. In other words, your emotional needs may be in conflict with your long-range goals. You may know what you have to do, but not feel much like doing it.

Neptune Inconjunct Midheaven

You are very impressionable, in that you pick up the energies around you very quickly. Your impressonableness may give rise to some psychic ability, or at least a very sharp intuition.

Moon Conjunct Neptune

You can be very sensitive to other people’s needs. You can put yourself into someone else’s shoes and understand how that person feels, which makes you very reluctant to cause pain to anyone.

See what I mean about Churchill being prophetic? The Moon represents the British people and Neptune represents Churchill, himself, in this chart. The Midheaven would represent the Battle ahead.

Here is another example of Churchill’s rhetoric, seeking to unite the country behind the war effort:

And after the battle, Churchill stated the obvious:

So true…

They Also Serve Who Only Stand and Wait

Downton Abbey (2010 – 2015)

Having been a late fan of Upstairs, Downstairs (1971-1975), I find it interesting how the British love to show a time when rich people (read, the nobility) had servants (read, slaves). At the moment, we are just finishing season two of the six season series of Downton Abbey on Netflix, and as a result, we are witnessing the dividing line between the past and the present, the Great War (hence the title of this post).

I watched the predecessor of the series, Gosford Park, in its entirety. Because it was set in the 1930’s, changes had already taken place. (And, as the director was American, there is a great deal of ‘noise’ in the dialog, as if Robert Altman couldn’t hear the players clearly, so he allowed the cacophony to stand.)

Meanwhile, the ‘will they, won’t they’ relationship between the heir to the estate (Matthew) and the present owner’s daughter (Lady Mary) is about to be resolved, finally. (*Spoiler alert* – Look away, if you don’t want to see this plot development…)

Season 2, Episode 9

But as with all good things, they must come to an end. If I continue on with the program, I might comment later. For now, I just want to share that it’s lovely to see so many great British actors and actresses. (I spend a great deal of my viewing time trying to remember where I’d seen them last.)

Let’s leave this post, with the following Julian Fellowes’ quotes:

Exactly!

The Wellspring: The Power of Thought

Posted on November 3, 2021 by cdsmiller17

(Flashback to) November 1, 1991

Image courtesy of amazon.com

The time has come, the time is now, for a releasing of the ‘universal forces of galactic dimension’.

You have been part of the process whose work has been to unite the forces of the incoming flow. We would wish that you would understand the importance of the period of time in which you are living. Little has been said to date of the work that is required of the servers in the family of Man, who are asked to assist the incoming flow of the energies of the Galaxy.

You little realise how much you have already done for the transition into the incoming Age, and yet the service that many of you have done has been of inestimable proportions.

As you go forward from this time, there will be a rapid unblocking of the restriction you have experienced, and the way will be found for you to demonstrate the powers at your disposal. You are still locked into a restrictive attitude of mind that has prevented you from showing your divine abilities, because you have been unable to accept your divine potential.

You are Beings of enormous power,

but your minds have restricted you in the use and possibilities of that power, which has always been at your disposal. As creative beings, each one of you can manifest whatever it is that you wish to see happen, but your mind has prevented you from displaying this power.

We have been doing our best to enable you to clear these barriers, these blockages, from your mental and physical dimensions, and we would wish to assist you in reclaiming all that has always been available to you. This can only be done if you will accept who you are: divine, creative, all-embracing; connected to the creative impulse of the Universe. But a mere thought, but a mere action, has the potential of dynamic proportions, and that inner knowledge creates a fear in the human mind of its potential.

Take courage, unloose those bonds, and accept that whatever you think

will be a reality in material manifestation. If you believe in ruin, it will all be there for you. If you believe in empires, that is there for you, also. Each day your thoughts grow stronger, each day your power is reclaimed. You re-enter your heritage: you are Divine; you are Gods. The time is upon you to drive forward. You are ready to accept this. The shutters are drawing back, awareness is flowing in; the light is bright and you are of All-Being.

With this knowledge, and with this ability, all the perceived problems of the Universe can be solved at one sleight-of-hand. Are you really so afraid to claim this power? Are you really so afraid to be who you are?

Can you not see that the world is no more than a chess board, black on white, white of black, moving pieces about, jumping, moving, sliding, playing games?

You can see it, you do see it, and yet have such resistance to recognise what is going on.

The power of the Universe has always been there at your command,

the power of true creativity has always been there for you, and yet you have locked yourself into the dross of Matter, noses down to the ground, pushing one speck of dusk before another. You are so much greater, so much mightier than this. Why do you lock yourselves into minutia, when you have the power of the Universe at your hands? Why do you limit yourselves, so afraid to accept your power?

Put down the shutters, put down the resistance, see the light. You have the power to move stars and universes. You do not need to have your noses to the ground. Why do you limit yourselves so much?

Join us again. Be part of the Confederation. Look to a Higher Cause. Look out to the Galaxy. We have waited for so long for your company, to be part, to be in union with you, our brothers. Oh, leave the games of humanity behind, look for something higher. Release yourselves from these restrictions, take off the yoke of Matter, because it does not matter, and join us again, once more where you belong.

The Wellspring*: Peace

Posted on November 3, 2021 by cdsmiller17

July, 2017: *Interim Channelling

This Needs Repeating

Issues pertaining to the world at present will begin to unfold in the next few months. This is a time of great change which will bring renewed hope into the hearts of many. The chaotic energies of change are often hard to cope with and require an inner peace and an inner trust to see the days through, to remain centred and at peace.

You are expecting changes but do not seek to know what they will be. An infinite number of possibilities are there before you and the outcome of each depends on the choices you as individuals make. We ask you not to despair nor get too involved with stories in the media. All is in order to create the changes that are so required for the human race to move forward. In a little while you will ask yourselves why you were so concerned and so fearful of what is to come.

You are all co-creators in the Universe. Each one of you plays an important and individual part that is unique, and your contribution to those changes, even when you cannot see what your part is or how the effects of your decisions will affect the future. There is higher consciousness at work. Do not doubt that you have an important part to play. You are Divine, you are Eternal, and you are Immortal. Do not get bogged down with outer manifestations but trust the inner knowing as you work from love and desire to bring peace. Love is all there is. Hate manifests in destruction, but the phoenix always rises more glorious and more beautiful, and, as co-creators, trust in your own divine nature is required that you develop. Bring peace, bring love, and bring acceptance. Love one another.

The Aquarian Age

During certain periods of time, great shifts of energy create change in humankind and you are going through one of those periods of change and shift now. The easing of these shifts will require a period of quiet before the new shoots of the Aquarian Age begin to appear. While inklings of these great changes have been coming for quite a while, it has required a great shake up on a global scale to cause those who are unaware to understand that these changes cannot be reversed.

Believe in yourselves and the inner guidance you receive. All you need to do is to listen to your own inner guidance in a place of calm and this will result in a lack of fear. No one likes change, because of the uncertainty. To be forewarned does help to prepare, but we can give you no inkling of the final outcome because new potentials open up, and what does succeed is the result of the matter of choice, (other than to say that the shifting energies will be dramatic). Much will have to be unlearned: it is too easy to slip back into the old ways, to return to that which is familiar. The Nodal aspect is now tipping toward the future, and is part of the evolutionary progress of the Human Race. New thoughts, new perceptions have to be embraced. While knowledge of history is important, do not allow it to restrict you from embracing that which is new and innovative.

Peace

Peace is a concept bought about by uniting light, love and power over the forces of destruction and revenge. It needs truly dynamic forces to bring peace about. Peace cannot be imposed by the Universe but from a feeling generated from within. As each individual learns to control the mind and the little thoughts which permeate the hours of the day, into an acceptance of what happens. This can be appreciated as an opportunity to learn to grow and develop in wisdom and inner strength, that peace begins to rise from that inner centre of Self. Peace which is imposed from without the Self is not peace: it is like suppression which will eventually need to be expressed, and imposed frustration that can be so destructive.

If mankind seeks to control others there can never be peace, and there can never be peace if you expect others to do it for you. It is the very essence of soul to be manifest with an interior goal.

The bringers of peace are those who are able to visibly manifest it in their day-to-day living, who think first and speak second with voices of calmness and reason, and who are prepared to listen rather than impose their thoughts and will on others.

The Wellspring*: Units of Time

Posted on November 3, 2021 by cdsmiller17

February 13, 2018: *Interim Channelling

Units of time form a passage of influence which reveal the unfolding of reality.

It does not matter how you perceive this, only that the awareness of reality is a moving picture. Emotion influences all perception on the material realm, and it is only with the inner peace that you can rise above the conflicting impressions to see the greater truth/reality. All is moving as the influences create the ebb and flow of life. Opportunities, to react to whatever happens in your life, create the next scenario. All is possible, nothing is fixed or certain. To take these forward steps depends on your actions now. Nothing is pre-determined. The tapestry of life moves and interweaves with infinite patterns and colour.

A lifetime is a unit of time, and each life is divided into different segments of society. All light workers experience the potential and possibilities that the various levels provide. Poverty and riches all provide different challenges and, while working in Earth’s dimension, the being will be confronted for a period to work through each challenge.

While time governs the period, possibilities will come your way to grow towards self-consciousness. Accept each challenge with an open heart, not dwelling on lack, but of possibilities of improvement, of overcoming obstacles, achieving goals, and accept responsibilities placed on you, for nothing lasts forever.

The Wellspring*: Substratum of Life

Posted on November 2, 2021 by cdsmiller17

January 14, 2018: *Interim Channelling

The substratum is the level in the foreground of this image

Between the forces of light is a substratum which joins infinity to matter.

It influences the bringing of mass into form, which is then perceived by the human eye, but unrecognised by many. This is the force known as Unbridled Light. It is not the same as sunlight, which is readily picked up by the physical body, but only by the brain through intuition. While many are beginning to respond to this, there are those who are not aware of its influence. The manifestation will become more apparent as the year progresses. The Universal Energy is enabling people to tune into higher consciousness more easily, and in accordance with the evolution of humanity.

While you are unaware of this process the adjustment will happen and bring a liberation to the restrictions of thought. There needs to be a freeing up of those thought patterns, which restrict the mind to the enormous possibilities, and a loosening of the fear of utilising these thoughts as tools available to you, in the process of creation within the human sphere.

Great changes are afoot as you begin to recognise the shift within yourself. Just relax.


Green growth is showing in the upcoming changes. It behooves all light workers, to turn inward to their intuitive knowing, to release the flow of new energy that is available. Slowly and surely the changes will occur. Eventually a great flood will be released through you for the evolution of humanity. This is a release from many of the constraints the physical body imposes. The density of form has restricted your inherent potential as you experience life in three-dimensional form.

You will begin to feel lighter and freer of fear. You will wake one morning and realise that change has occurred, and the veil between the dimensions will begin to lift. Enjoy!

When the Americans Liberated Nazi Gold in WWII

Posted on November 2, 2021 by cdsmiller17

XPD by Len Deighton (1981)

I’ve been of fan of Len Deighton’s books ever since he first wrote about Harry Palmer in “The Ipcress File”. This new book was never in my paperback library until I was gifted it last month. The premise is simple enough: some soldiers, who were part of the transport fleet that moved the Nazi gold at the end of World War II, may have helped themselves to some of the treasure. Now, Soviet spies are marking their files with XPD – Expedient Demise. (Since I’m only a quarter of the way through the book, I have a lot to go through before the story becomes clearer.) Evidently, a cover story of making a movie about the gold rescue is bringing the perpetrators out into the open. But then, as stated on the back cover:

June 11, 1940 – Where is Winston Churchill?

A private aircraft takes off from a small town in central France, while Adolf Hitler, the would-be conqueror of Europe, prepares for a clandestine meeting near the Belgian border.

For more than 40 years the events of this day have been Britain’s most closely guarded secret. Anyone who learns of them must die.

It is well to remember that Deighton is British, so the focus is going to be on their secret services.

But is any of this based on fact? Perhaps, all but the secret meeting between Churchill and Hitler…

So almost half of the gold disappeared? That’s worth a look, isn’t it?

The Second World War produced, in the end, one victor, the United States, one hero, Great Britain, one villain, Germany…

Hitler, by N. Stone

But I think that last quotation depends on your personal opinion. At any rate, here are some of the Deighton books I’ve read over the years:

One Final Word

Hmm.

Is This a UFO or Something Else?

Posted on November 1, 2021 by cdsmiller17

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (March 30, 2020)

Trying to pin down a specific sighting of a UFO on this TV program is similar to trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Here are two screen captures of the sequence which most people are calling an accidental sighting of a UFO.

.

Now, to state the obvious, the green lights to the side of the bright light shining in the centre are very reminiscent of lens refraction, as seen here. Evidently, the bright light was the result of a Jeep coming into frame, and then disappearing as it continued on down the road again. At the very same time, the green lights disappeared, too. So, the effect is simultaneous. And just to confirm this, I have raised an ‘event’ chart for 9:07:20 pm (MDT).

This is an impressive looking chart, is it not? And because it was recorded as a live video capture, the date and time stamp can be seen in the top left-hand corner. So, it’s accurate to the second.

There are three inconjuncts, with only one of them requiring accuracy of timing…

Moon Inconjunct Jupiter

This aspect indicates that you have a positive, optimistic outlook on life, and you enjoy socializing with good friends.

Moon Inconjunct Pluto

You probably enjoy exploring the mysterious and probing hidden secrets.

Venus Inconjunct Ascendant

It is not that you are dishonest, but that you show a side of yourself to your friends that you usually keep hidden, often because you are not entirely confident in that role.

Jupiter Conjunct Pluto

You have a strong drive to achieve something of significance, and you want to have the power to make positive and creative changes in your world.

(Have you got the picture, yet?)

In 1996, skeptic James Randi awarded Bigelow a Pigasus Award for funding the purchase of the ranch and for supporting John E. Mack’s and Budd Hopkins’ investigations. The award category designated Bigelow as “the funding organization that supported the most useless study of a supernatural, paranormal or occult“.

I Think, Therefore I Am…Conscious

Posted on October 31, 2021 by cdsmiller17

And So Is Everything Around Me

Usually, one picture represents a thousand words, but that sometimes gets muddled up with the way we think. If you are one of those people that requires more proof, here’s another picture…

But even this picture will confuse some people. Maybe a new theory is required:

But even that will make you scratch your head and say, “Hmm.”

So let’s return to a spiritual perspective with this saying:

OK. ‘Nuff said.
