Jesus…An Aries?

HEY GUYS, AM RE-POSTING THIS FROM APRIL AS IT IS A SEASONALLY APPROPRIATE DEBATE, NON?

Yes, as someone pointed out a while back, having watched a doco + wanting to have a crack at Ariean fashion sense/sandals – many Christians consider April 6 to be the true birthday of Jesus. Whilst I’ve never gone with the Jesus-as-Capricorn theory, Aries seems a bit off. Surely, Jesus a Piscean? After all, he ushered in the Age of Pisces et al?

Possible Aries indicators; often depicted wearing red cloak – red is Aries colour, leadership abilities, show-off (walking on water, turning water to wine, claiming divine parentage)  belief in virginity of mother, courage, forthright honesty…  Oddly enough, I think i actually saw Jesus, when i was a teenager. It is a strange story…

Which Sign Gives The Best Guilting?

This ain’t gonna be an Astro-Poll and i am too busy to be guilted over grammar irks either. Neither?  Mercury is about to square Pluto AGAIN – surely we all have deeper issues to think about than English. Besides, note the irony of me posting that Alphabet Vs The Goddess book below, but basically, i am prob not going to read  it. I feel like i absorbed it via osmosis and i totally get it…But it is all about peeps like me – pantheistic/Venus worshippers/Fanactical about Feng Shui ex-Anglicans not HAVING to read. I think. And, o.m.g., i just nearly typed “ex-aliens” .

Anyway, which sign gives the best guilting? I like to think it is my mars in virgo that makes me a good guilter on occasion. eg; “You are thinking about your HAIR at a time when (fill in revolting  news story of the day)…” but i have a stellium in Pisces strong enough that i’ll automatically side with peeps on many a moral transgression. I think actually Cancerians are Pro-Guilters. My son is exceptional at it and as I have always said, Geminis are immune to it. My daughter just shrugs and rolls her eyes when someone tries to guilt her. And the shrug is intense, like she is attempting to shrug something annoying off her shoulders that seems to have landed there.

My friend the Piscean Beauty Fanatic completely refuses any form of guilt and she has an extremely sophisticated argument to back her stance. It starts with her annoyance at Sunday School when hearing about Eve and goes on from there. Leos specialise in really good thundering outrage but it’s more the theatrics they’re keen  on. Aquarians and Librans don’t guilt you but you may not hear from them for a few years. Taurus is a shocking guilter when in the right mood. Aries won’t guilt – their flashpoint is more lack of respect. Scorpio and Capricorn conserve energy, they don’t bother with casual guilting. It’s revenge or they have rendered you and your energy irrelevant. Saggo? Lol.

The Alphabet Versus The Goddess

I found this book whilst looking for stuff about Hecate & it looks totally fascinating…Has anyone of you read it?

“…In this groundbreaking book, Leonard Shlain, author of the bestselling Art & Physics, proposes that the process of learning alphabetic literacy rewired the human brain, with profound consequences for culture. Making remarkable connections across a wide range of subjects including brain function, anthropology, history, and religion, Shlain argues that literacy reinforced the brain’s linear, abstract, predominantly masculine left hemisphere at the expense of the holistic, iconic feminine right one. This shift upset the balance between men and women initiating the disappearance of goddesses, the abhorrence of images, and, in literacy’s early stages, the decline of women’s political status. Patriarchy and misogyny followed….

Shlain contrasts the feminine right-brained oral teachings of Socrates, Buddha, and Jesus with the masculine creeds that evolved when their spoken words were committed to writing. The first book written in an alphabet was the Old Testament and its most important passage was the Ten Commandments. The first two reject of any goddess influence and ban any form of representative art.

“…The love of Mary, Chivalry, and courtly love arose during the illiterate Dark Ages and plummeted after the invention of the printing press in the Renaissance. The Protestant attack on holy images and Mary followed, as did ferocious religious wars and neurotic witch-hunts. The benefits of literacy are obvious; this gripping narrative explores its dark side, tallying previously unrecognized costs….”

LOL Cosmic Consciousness

“…A consciousness of the cosmos, knowing the life and order of the universe. It is considered a higher, yet at present an exceptional peak in human evolution which the race is expected to reach in a distant future.

According to Dr. Richard M. Bucke (1837-1902), a friend of Walt Whitman, some individuals, mostly of the male sex, between 30 and 40, and who are highly developed with good intellect, high morals, a superior physique, and an earnest religious feeling can acquire this consciousness.

Dr. Bucke considered thirteen individuals to have possessed such a consciousness: Gautama, Jesus, Paul, Platinus, Mohammed, Dante, Las Casas, John Ypes, Francis Bacon, Jacob Behmen, William Blake, Balzac and Walt Whitman.

The experience comes suddenly without warning with a sensation of being immersed in a flame or rose-colored cloud and is accompanied by a feeling of ecstasy, moral and intellectual illumination in which, like a flash, a clear conception in outline is presented to the mind of the meaning and drift of the universe.

The man or woman going through this experience knows that the universe is a living presence, that life is eternal, the soul of man is immortal, the foundation principle of life is love, and the happiness of every individual in the long run is absolutely certain. All fear of death, all sense of sin is lost, and the personality gains added charm and is transfigured. In a few moments of the experience the individual will learn more than in years or months of study and will learn much that no study will teach.

Walt Whitman described cosmic consciousness as “ineffable light, light rare, untellable, light beyond all signs, descriptions and languages.”…From HERE.

Holy Aphrodite, blame the Eclipse but i am feeling super-New Agie tonight. Superior male physiques, no fear, no sin, added charm – this sounds fuqing awesome. I wagged kundalini yoga for some convoluted reasons but I am SO signing up for this course.
