Opening Shots of WWIII?

One hundred years ago, yesterday, the United States of America entered The Great War. Last night, at 8:45 EDT, that same country may have sparked the beginning of yet another world war.

The Players

It has been long understood that the USA (and others) would like a regime change in Syria. However, Russia has been a staunch ally of Assad, so the approach had been ‘softly, softly, catchee monkey’. The creation of ISIS has been touted as the method that would allow for the invasion of Syria. However, Putin made that a little bit difficult.

Behind the scenes, Russia has ‘influenced’ the American Presidential election of 2016. Why? Because Putin did not want Hillary Clinton to win. He may have also thought that Donald Trump was a softer target, mainly because of the “America First” rhetoric.

As always, it does not matter who is the President, the ‘powers-that-be’ will find a way to achieve their agenda. The Syrian ‘gas attack’ from earlier this week appealed to Trump’s emotions, and the string was pulled, as expected.

Sun in Aries

“You are basically aggressive in your attitudes and have less facility in the receptive arts of relating to others, picking up subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing, and harmonizing. Often you are so fired up about your own projects or goals that you inadvertently run over or ignore other people’s feelings and interests.”

Sun in 2nd House

“Ownership gives you a sense of security, and you have a strong attachment to your possessions. You also have a natural instinct or understanding of economics, finance, trade, and appraising the value of merchandise.”

Sun Conjunct Uranus

“Innovative, original, unorthodox, and unconventional, you identify with the role of rebel, reformer, or iconoclast. You insist upon a great deal of personal freedom and do not easily adapt yourself to others’ needs and wishes. You need a lifestyle that allows you to be spontaneous. Often you feel that you are somehow different from other people and outside the mainstream of society.”

Sun Opposition Jupiter

“You have big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. You tend to exaggerate, to promise more than is possible, and to misjudge through over-optimism. However, you never lose your hopes for the future. Restlessness and discontent with responsibilities and limitations in life can be troublesome for you.”

Sun Square Pluto

“You are intensely willful, zealous, and fanatical, though often you hide the intensity of your feelings and your personal motives and desires. You have an infatuation with power and an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition, the desire to be Somebody. You tend to worship Heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma, and often seek to emulate them. You also have both a fear of, and an intense fascination with, death and the hidden, secret, dark side of life.”

Conclusion

This political and military action is entirely about the personality of Donald J. Trump. No one else could have done it, as no one else has the megalomania or egotism to match his.

The American people got exactly what they voted for: a President who will do battle with the world on their behalf. God help us all.

The Wellspring: Astrology

the-wellspring

8 April 1992

The plan, as it has been constructed, has been reinforced by the planetary configuration of sources of energy. Through the patterns you have been able to view the higher plan.

Those seers, those who have studied and looked outwards, being less earth-bound, have been able to view, through the planetary patterns, an overall timing and plan, to be played upon the earth plane. Just as individuals, working in the same space, have a different perspective on the lives that they lead, so beings on other planets will also have a different perspective, from the different patterns they have perceived, even when dealing with the same elemental energies. So, each solar system, each galaxy, has a different perspective of the Divine Plan.

Through the movement of your own solar system, as more and more of you have the vision of looking outwards — of being more cosmically conscious — so more of you are able to recognise the timing and the moment of great changes.

15 April 1992 – Winds of Change

The winds of change are blowing. You have an outward manifestation of an inner truth. The seeds have been sown, and, as these winds of change blow, you will see a uniting principle begin to collect the elements together to form a new consciousness of unprecedented proportions.

We have been instilling, into the understanding of those who are ready, the seeds of truth which are in the process of growing. These seeds will grow straighter and cleaner, the more clear the individuals are, who are not distorted with blockages and fears.

It is of little use to instil these seeds into unprepared ground. There are some, with whom you will have contact, who ae not ready and not prepared to seek for truth, but equally, there are many who are now ready for the seeds to be planted by those servers, among you, who go out and plant your seeds in that fertile ground.

You have been given the information directly through your own seeking into higher consciousness. For many, this pathway is not appropriate. Therefore, as servers, as intermediaries between the dimensions, you who have agreed to do this work are now required to plant those seeds wherever the winds of change will take you.

You may expect, from now on, to find that your lives blow you in different directions, unexpected directions, and, if you are now in unusual circumstances, you may rest assured that there is a purpose for that movement, that there is somebody seeking, someone crying out for help in their progress forward. It is imperative that you are free, uncluttered, loose — loose enough to be prepared to go with those winds of change — and you will find yourself placed in situations of the greatest opportunity of work.

It is not required for you to impart all the knowledge that you have accrued. It is sufficient that you just plant the seeds, and allow the individual to grow in whatever way is appropriate for them.

So go with the flow

Unite the principles, serve humanity and enjoy the work. We are your constant companions, assisting you, as best we can, with inspired thought. But, as custodians within the dimension of matter, you are best experienced in how to put those ‘Seeds of Truth’ across.

So trust yourselves, trust that inner flame that is within each one of you. Fear not that you are getting it wrong, because the listener has a responsibility also in what he hears, and only that which is appropriate for the listener will be received. So the responsibility is shared. The clearer you are, the less cluttered with doubt and fear, and clearer your information, the clearer your words will be to spark and inspire the listener, and the more likely you are to commune, telepathically, an understanding that you are working to a higher cause.

We commend you to this work, but leave its performance to you, each according to his own particular interests and talents.
