Re: Phylloxera and biodynamic wines (was: Grape Cuttings)
Dorothy, Sorry - my book is aimed at consumers, not winemakers, offering reasons why they should buy organic and biodynamic wine. It does deal with tasting and the principles of growing and winemaking, but all from a consumer's point of view. I'm sure there are people on this list who can answer your question about planting vines, though. Alternatively, have you tried searching the BDNow archives?

Re: Healing
Title: Re: Healing More from DIMENSIONS OF RADIONICS DISEASE FACTORS IN THE ETHERIC BODY Rudolf Steiner points out that in terms of Spiritual Science the relationship between the etheric and astral bodies is bound up in the iron-content of the blood, and that regulation of iron intake affect blood circulation and kidney activity. Cramp-like phenomena are also associated with certain forces in the astral body not functioning properly, so we see that it is possible to begin to understand these subtle aspects of man by observing various objective factors. The writings of Steiner are an invaluable guide which will help any practitioner to bridge the illusory gap between the objective and subjective worlds. The etheric body is known by a number of names, some refer to it as the vital body or the etheric double, and more recently the term electro-dynamic body has been used, and Russian scientists have called it the bio-plasmic body. Basically it is that body which serves to link the physical organism with the subtler astral and mental forms. It is an absorber of solar energies which it transforms and transmits to all parts of the dense physical by way of its fine energy threads known as the nadis, in modern terminology I suppose one might call it a transducer, for its role is one that is essentially passive, it does not originate action, but simply passes on the impulses from the higher levels to the physical form. Thus it reflects any disease pattern that is to be found in the astral and mental bodies. To clairvoyant sight it appears as a body of sparkling streams of energy which tend to flow out at right angles to the central nervous system. In sickness this body does not so readily absorb pranic fluids from the sun and as a result the vitality level falls off, and the nadis or energy threads become more attenuated. If this state of affairs is allowed to go on for any length of time the etheric matrix becomes so rarefied that it can no longer support the physical cells and definite organic pathology an disintegration comes about. In his book The Vital Body Rosicrucian Max Heindel writes: During health the vital body specializes a superabundance of vital force, which after passing through the dense body, radiates in straight lines in every direction from the periphery thereof, as the radii of a circle do from the centre; but during ill health, when the vital body becomes attenuated, it is not able to draw to itself the same amount of force and in addition the dense physical body is feeding upon it. Then the lines of the vital fluid which pass out from the body are crumpled and bent, showing the lack of force behind them. In health the great force of these radiations carries with it germs and microbes which are inimical to the health of the dense body; but in sickness, when the vital force is weak, these emanations do not so readily eliminate disease germs. Therefore the danger of contracting disease is much greater when the vital forces are low than when one is in robust health. I have dealt with the dynamics of pranic reception and distribution in Radionics and the Subtle Anatomy of Man so there is n' need for me to go into any more details here. The question arises at this point is, if the etheric body is a reflector of states imbalance in other bodies, does disease itself originate in the etheric body independently? The answer to this is quite simply yes! There are a number of reasons why, and it is important any practitioner to understand them, for they are factors that will be present in most cases that are radionically analysed. The first thing to realise is that our etheric and dense phyical bodies are drawn from the etheric and physical substance of planet. This material, according to esoteric tradition, is veried, in origin and because of this it is contaminated to a very degree. For countless aeons the diseased bodies of men and animals have been placed under the soil, and this has brought about a very profound yet subtle pollution of the matter which we attract to build our vehicles of manifestation. Esoteric tradition goes further and states that all disease can be placed under three categories, those of syphilis, tuberculosis and cancer and that these are all inherent in the etheric and physical substance of our planet. So potentially all are liable to pick up these predisposing patterns in their etheric and physical bodies, and the life-style will serve either to trigger them into activity or allow them to remain dormant. Here alone is surely an indcation of the value of pure living habits which will serve to keep the etheric body in a radiant state In her book Esoteric Healing Alice Bailey writes: It should be borne in mind that the physical bodies in which humanity now dwells are constructed of very ancient matter and that the substance employed is tainted or conditioned by the history of the past. To this concept must be added two others: First, that incoming
Mark Purdey: Origins of Spongiform Disease Pt2
Daylight on TSEs - the deadly oxidative connection unleashed. But each time Purdey's trek took him to a newTSE hotspot, he found himself face to face with the same type of high altitude, snow covered terrain. But this common geographical association with TSEclusters continued to baffle him; each time recounting the memory of his first glimpse of chronic wasting countryside of deer and elk - the snow peaked Rocky Mountains sawtoothing the july skyline beyond the Denver Plain. But after arriving at the Calabrian village where 20 cases of CJD have emerged since 1995, the relevance of this geographical connection to TSE finally gelled. The houses in this village were newly constructed out of hideous bright white concrete sections - unusual for this area. All were couched within a parched, glaring landscape of bare white sandstone, producing all the criteria required for a most intensive ultra violet (UV) hotspot location; immediately connecting Purdey to the well recognised ëhigh UVí nature of high altitude, snow covered terrain which he found in common in the Icelandic, Colorado, Slovak clusters, etc, that he had surveyed. The UV prerequisite also explained other missing links in the science of traditional TSEs - such as the way in which initial pathological damage of TSE manifests itself within the retina or the eyelid or skin. Plus the fact that the normal , healthy form of copper bound prion protein is located in the pathways which coduct the electromagnetic energy of ultraviolet light around the brain - eg , the retina, pineal gland , visual cortex, hypothalamus, pituitary, brain stem, etc. Prion protein is also found in other areas of the body which are involved in the conduction of electromagnetic energy; for instance around glial cells and proliferating cells involved in the growth and repair of some tissues. In this respect, it could be said that the discovery of the prion protein may turn out to give scientific substance to the existance of the electromagnetic meridians recognised by Chinese medicine - where the healthy copper prion maintains the electro-homeostatis along the meridians. The fact that copper has an industrial use for conducting electricity in wiring and manganese has a use for storing electricity in batteries / Light bulb filaments elucidates a possible explanation for the cause of prion diseases; whereby the healthy copper prion continues to conduct the vital energy of sunlight along the circadian pathways in the brain to propel the sleep. sex, behavioural cycles,etc., whilst the unhealthy manganese contaminated prion serves to blockade and store up that UV energy to a critical flash point level ; where cluster bombs of free radical neurodegerative chain reactions are forced to burst forth . Could the oxidizing impact of UV at the retina convert the accumulated store of manganese ( both manganese and prion protein tend to accumulate in the retina ) from its innocuous manganese 2+ antioxidant form into its lethal manganese 3+ prooxidant form ? So any manganese that is abnormally attached to the prion protein in the retina finds itself switched from a safe to lethal form. Does the oxidising effects of UV therefore serve to unleash a lethal ë Dr jekyll and hydeí like property of the prion protein, which, in turn, kicks off a whole chain reaction of free radical mediated assault on the central nerves ? A neurodegenerative ëmelt downí of neurones proliferates, and TSE ensues. This has explained the genesis of the traditional strains of TSE, but what about the causes of the much more aggressive modern day strains of TSE ( BSE, vCJD ) surfacing in younger mammals. Perhaps these could result from our increased modern day exposure to the more potent oxidizing effects of a cocktail of man made agents which penetrate the central nerves - such as the systemic organophosphates (head lice shampoos, warblecides, etc ), radar, ozone, increasing UV due to stratospheric ozone depletion, microwave mobile phones, Concordeís supersonic waves-,thereby serving as the lethal oxidative triggers which produce a more virulent, accelerated version of TSE with full blown symptoms erupting in much younger mammals than normal. TSEs could therefore be viewed as diseases that result from a breakdown of oxidative homeostatis within the organism ; where TSE susceptible mammals living in environments characterised by high intensities of manganese and oxidising agents and by low levels of antioxidant metals (Copper/ selenium/ zinc ) combine to create circumstances where the central nerves are hyperoxidized - thereby kicking off a free radical chain reaction that can proliferate in the absence of antioxidant defence The pattern of emergence of traditional and new variant CJD clusters in rural/coastal as opposed to urban areas substantiates this idea, as well as helping to dispel the myth that vCJD arises from ingestion of BSE affected beef produc
Mark Purdey: Origins of Spongiform Disease Pt1
More on Mad Cow and related ailments at www.purdeyenvironment.com EDUCATING RIDA (Rida is the Icelandic for transmissible spongiform disease) - An underground scientific journey into the origins of spongiform disease. by Mark Purdey. Background. Since 1986, the infamous novel neurodegenerative syndrome , BSE and vCJD , has insidiously blighted the heartbeat of British Agriculture. The disease has annihilated thousands of cattle and a growing number of young people, as well as creating a fierce battleground between nations, vested interests, political parties, farmers, victims and consumers. But despite the severity of the BSE legacy , little genuine attempt has been made to crack the causal riddle of these diseases; thereby leaving us devoid of insight into measures that would best cure, control and , better still, prevent this disease. But this story shines a ray of light over the whole debacle. It charters the eco-detective escapades of maverick farmer / researcher Mark Purdey and his original field investigation which ran in tandem with the laboratory quest of Cambridge biochemist Dr David Brown to unearth the truth underpinning the original cause of these grotesque diseases. Hard evidence so far amassed by Brown and Purdeyís research indicates that vCJD and BSE could both result from separate exposure of bovines and humans to the same set of toxic environmental factors; and not from the ingestion of the one by the other. If such a notion continues to accumulate momentum, a radical upheaval of the status quo mindset can be expected. Despite their appealing story of discovery generated from the combined, lateral perspectives of field and laboratory studies, their published works have largely been dismissed and funding proposals irrationally rebuffed at peer review. Contrary to the recommendations to UK government by the 1999 BSE Inquiry report, rejection of Brown and Purdeyís various proposals continues to present day, including one submission aimed at developing a feasible cure for vCJD ! The Lone Voyager Mark Purdey first came to the fore when he successfully quashed the UK governmentís compulsory warble fly eradication regime in the high courts in 1984. This exempted him from treating his dairy herd with a systemic organo phosphorus (OP) insecticide - a toxic chemical which, amongst a myriad of toxicological effects, disturbs the crucial balance of metals in the brain. Purdey was therefore not surprised to witness BSE rearing its ugly head in the UK cattle herd in 1986; which, in his opinion, was a direct legacy of the UK governmentís warble fly mandate that enforced exclusively high doses of systemic OP insecticide in relation to the few countries who used this type of insecticide abroad. Purdey was a working dairy farmer with first hand experience of BSE erupting in cattle that had been purchased into his organic farm. He was struck by the fact that no cases of BSE had ever emerged in home reared cows on fully converted organic farms, despite those cattle having been permitted access to the feed that contained the meat and bone meal (MBM) ingredient - as part of their 20% conventional feedingstuff allowance decreed in the organic standards. >From then on, Purdey became deeply sceptical of the conventional consensus on the origins of BSE and its human equivalent vCJD. There were just too many radical flaws blighting the hypothesis that bovine ingestion of micro doses of scrapie contaminated MBM lead to BSE; equally flawed was the follow up theory that human ingestion of BSE contaminated beef caused vCJD. The Flaws in the Conventional Hypothesis. Purdey cites the following flaws which indicate that MBM / BSE beef could not have served as the all-important single causal factor in the origins of BSE/vCJD; 1. Thousands of tons of the incriminated MBM feed was exported for cattle feed during the 1970s/1980s to countries that have remained BSE-free to date. - eg, South Africa, Sweden, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Third World, etc. NB; MBM was exported in straight form or as an ingredient of compounded concentrated feed pellets. 2. Changes in the temperature / manufacturing techniques of the MBM rendering process in the UK were blamed for permitting the survival of the scrapie agent in dead sheepsí brain, enabling the ìagentî to jump across into cattle, thereby producing BSE. Yet in scrapie endemic countries, such as USA and Scandinavea, the exact same continuous flow system of rendering was adopted five years before the UK, yet these countries remained BSE-free. 3. Several US trials failed to invoke BSE in cattle after feeding/injecting them with massive doses of scrapie contaminated brain tissue. 4. Forty thousand plus cows that were born after the UKís 1988 ban on MBM inclusion in cattle feed have still developed BSE. Furthermore, a small number of cows born after the further additional 1996 ban on MBM
Re: Healing
Etal! this is from Dimensions of Radionics by David Tansley L&L Markess DISEASE FACTORS IN THE ASTRAL BODY Conditions arising in the emotional body of man are one of the most potent sources of disease that the practitioner will have to consider. The activity of this body, when it becomes unduly agitated or tensed has a deleterious effect upon the etheric body which is quick to mirror the disturbances at a subtler level. In his book The Astral Body Arthur Powell says: A developed man has five rates of vibration in his astral body: an ordinary man shows at least nine rates, with a mixture of various shades in addition. Many people have 50 or 100 rates, the whole surface being broken into a multiplicity of little whirlpools and crosscurrents, all battling against another in mad confusion. This is the result of unnecessary emotion and worries, the ordinary person of the West being a mass of these, through which much of his strength is frittered away. An astral body which vibrates fifty ways at once is not only ugly but also a serious annoyance. It may be compared to a physical body suffering from an aggravated form of palsy, with all its muscles jerking simultaneously in different directions. Such astral effects are contagious and affect all sensitive persons who approach, communicating a painful sense of unrest and worry. It is just because millions of people are thus unnecessarily agitated by all sorts of desires and feelings that it is so difficult for a sensitive person to live in a great city or move amongst crowds. - Dr. Edward Bach was one such person who, due to his increasing sensitivity, finally had to leave London and seek the quiet of the countryside. So acute did his quality of sensitivity become that when he placed the petal of a flower upon his tongue, the emotional and mental imbalances that the bloom would cure, manifested themselves in his own being. Although unpleasant and distressing it did enable him to gather together those medicines~i which later became known as the Bach Remedies.i Powell continues: The perpetual astral disturbances may even react through the etheric double and set up nervous diseases. The centers of inflammation in the astral body are to it what boils are to the physical bodynot only acutely uncomfortable, but also weak spots through which vitality leaks away. They also offer practically no resistance to evil influences and prevent good influences from being of profit. The condition is painfully common: the remedy is to eliminate worry, fear and annoyance. Alice Bailey in her book Esoteric Healing says of the astral body: Wrong emotional attitudes and a general unhealthy condition of the astral body must be a potent factor in producing discomfort and disease Agitation in that body, any violent activity under stress of temper, intense worry or prolonged irritation will pour a stream of astral energy into and through the solar plexus center, and will galvanize that center into a condition of intense disturbance. This next effects the stomach, the pancreas, the gall duct and bladder. Few people (and I might well ask who is exempt at this particular time in the world's history) are free from indigestion, from undesirable gastric conditions, or from trouble connected with the gallbladder. So the prime factors to be considered by any radionic practitioner when he does an analysis, are those which may exist in the astral life of the patient. If hatred, anger, a sense of criticism, fear, superior and inferiority complexes, violent dislikes and a whole host of other emotional forces cloud the clarity of the astral body, then there must be a careful scanning of these points and treatment must be aimed to help the patient drop as many of them as possible from his consciousness. The Bach Remedies are an excellent form of treatment for astral disturbances as we shall see later. On the patient's part the cultivation of an attitude of harmlessness in thought, word and deed will go a long way towards cleansing the astral body and allowing the life forces to flow through unhindered. When a person's ambitions are bigger than their accomplishments and frustration pervades the astral body for a period of time, a peculiar interaction is set up between the energies of Life and Consciousness that are anchored in the heart and head respectively, and flow along the length of the spine, and the pranic forces entering through the spleen in the region of the solar plexus chakra. Try to visualize the energies of Life and Consciousness streaming downwards, and those of solar prana coming in through the spleen at right angles to them to form in effect a cross made up of energy streams. These meet in the area of the solar plexus which is the seat of the individual's astral life; if that person has thwarted ambitions, the charge of energy which would flow out normally if such ambitions were realized, begins to back up and accumulate because it is unexpressed. Now because

They eventually will become a complicating factor. This is especially true of smallpox vaccine, polio (Salk) vaccines, and diphtheria, tetanus, and typhoid vaccines and inoculations. Injecting live viruses into to your system can last many years. If you have lived through inoculations or immunizations, you can balance them out. Use the rates listed below.

Most people are eventually overcome by these forms of disease and succumb to "old age." Whenever an individual or animal doesn't respond to balancing, consider checking for stored immunizations and inoculations. In some cases, vaccination and inoculation may be the cause behind the cause behind the cause for the condition that was created.
Re: Healing
Title: Re: Healing Jane you wrote: When I talked about the ego, I meant the part of the self that has been constructed by us in order to 'hide' the deeper soul parts of ourselves. The part that allows us to function with our peers and society with a superficial persona that we wear like a mask. Many folks actually have constructed very elaborate personas in order to justify the ways in which they harm others daily just by going to their job, and the ways in which they harm themselves and loved ones through the many intricate and societal acceptable ways there are in which to do this. I think the term best used to describe these patterns is "Valence". Jung's concepts in part are these. Ego. The central complex in the field of consciousness. (See also self.) The ego, the subject of consciousness, comes into existence as a complex quantity which is constituted partly by the inherited disposition (character constituents) and partly by unconsciously acquired impressions and their attendant phenomena ["Analytical Psychology and Education," CW 17, par. 169.] Jung pointed out that knowledge of the ego-personality is often confused with self-understanding. Anyone who has any ego-consciousness at all takes it for granted that he knows himself. But the ego knows only its own contents, not the unconscious and its contents. People measure their self-knowledge by what the average person in their social environment knows of himself, but not by the real psychic facts which are for the most part hidden from them. In this respect the psyche behaves like the body, of whose physiological and anatomical structure the average person knows very little too. ["The Undiscovered Self," CW 10, par. 491.] In the process of individuation, one of the initial tasks is to differentiate the ego from the complexes in the personal unconscious, particularly the persona, the shadow and anima/animus. A strong ego can relate objectively to these and other contents of the unconscious without identifying with them. Because the ego experiences itself as the center of the psyche, it is especially difficult to resist identification with the self, to which it owes its existence and to which, in the hierarchy of the psyche, it is subordinate. The ego stands to the self as the moved to the mover, or as object to subject, because the determining factors which radiate out from the self surround the ego on all sides and are therefore supraordinate to it. The self, like the unconscious, is an a priori existent out of which the ego evolves.["Transformation Symbolism in the Mass," CW 11, par. 391.] Identification with the self can manifest in two ways: the assimilation of the ego by the self, in which case the ego falls under the control of the unconscious; or the assimilation of the self to the ego, where the ego becomes overaccentuated. In both cases the result is inflation, with disturbances in adaptation. In the first case, reality has to be protected against an archaic . . . dream-state; in the second, room must be made for the dream at the expense of the world of consciousness. In the first case, mobilization of all the virtues is indicated; in the second, the presumption of the ego can only be damped down by moral defeat.[The Self," CW 9ii, par. 47.] And you wrote: The ego in occult terms is the part of personality that must 'die' in order to be transformed. The initiate would go through a 'death' experience of that constructed part of the self that is not the true Self. This is not how Alice Bailey writes or references a vast number of Occult Wisdom Schools. She relates the Ego to several parts of the Astral Body. Largely the Ego interfaces in the subconciouse & unconscious parts of subtle bodies. More soon In Love & Light Markess
Interview with Bill Mollison
Dear list, Here is a rare interview with Bill Mollison taken from the Seeds of Change newsletter. Enjoy, Chris Seeds of Change eNewsletter #25, February 21, 2002 100% Organic Seeds and Food PLEASE view this eNewsletter with PHOTOS at: http://store.yahoo.com/seedsofchange/25enewsletter.html We're celebrating the season of garden dreaming with a special issue of our eNewsletter that focuses on garden planning and permaculture. Last summer we had the immense fortune to have Bill Mollison visit our research farm in New Mexico. Mollison is the founder of the permaculture movement and one of the world's leading proponents of sustainable agricultural systems. Part one of our exclusive interview with this visionary thinker appears here. Part two will be featured in eNewsletter 26. INTERVIEW WITH BILL MOLLISON In the 1960's and 70's Bill Mollison, and later with David Holmgren, developed the concepts of permaculture, (derived from the words "permanent" "agriculture" and "culture,"). In 1978 the seminal work "Permaculture One" was written, with "Permaculture Two" to follow a year later. By 1981 the graduates of the first permaculture workshop set out to make a difference in the world. Since then, Mollison and countless acolytes have spread permaculture principles throughout the world while developing thousands of sustainable systems and creating a model for ecological design and development. Recently declared "Ecologist of the Century" in Australia, Mollison conceives permaculture as the "conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems." and "the harmonious integration of landscape and people..." permaculture design he points out, stems from "protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labour:" In short, its goals are energy and water conservation, sustainable local food production and regional self-reliance. As conceived by Mollison, permaculture is nothing less than a "sustainable earth-care system" capable of providing our food, energy, shelter, and other needs while conserving the world's resources. On July 25, 2001 I was fortunate enough to have this conversation with Bill Mollison as he visited our New Mexico Research Farm. Scott Vlaun: Because most of our readers don't really know much about Permaculture... Bill Mollison: I was going to talk about the history of permaculture. It really arose from looking at other systems, non-agricultural systems. I spent almost 30 years in wildlife survey, so I'd be watching animals in interaction with plants. I'd be sitting up night after night, watching that sort of thing and I decided that it was a pretty good system but that I could build one just as well. It was 1959. Now, that's a pretty cheeky thing to say. In fact, I thought some of it wasn't too good; it wasn't very well designed. Vlaun: This is Nature you're talking about . . . Mollison: Yeah, Nature, I'm talking about Nature. Really, God missed out on a few things. So in November of 1959, I made a note in my diary and that's what I call the beginning of permaculture. It said, "I think I could build a system that works better than this one I'm watching," which was a rain forest with marsupials. I didn't act on that because I still had a lot of work to do in forestry. So, a few years later a Club of Rome report came out in which they made a forecast for the future in terms of renewable resources, fossil fuels and population. It said that something's gotta give. We're on a collision course. This must have been about 1963 or 65. I called Hobart University where I was lecturing and I said "What we're teaching is irrelevant, really, no matter what it is, it's irrelevant, because it doesn't refer to near future crises. We've been teaching this stuff for 50 or 100 years . . . the same physics, the same classical studies . . . and we should all change." Everyone said, "Yeah we should." The staff said so; the students said so; and they all went back and did exactly the same thing they were doing before. It is too difficult to contemplate change if you're an academic because that's all you know. I could see that was pretty useless and by 1970, I could see, too, that the marine resources were starting to fold up. We were running out of fish stocks and we ran out of seaweed in some areas. I saw that things were indeed troubled. I saw the need for another system by 1970. In 1972, I did that thing where you leave society. I bought five acres in the forest, made a little clearing of about an acre and a half in there and built a house and a barn and a garden and pulled out of society generally. I thought up permaculture. I broke through when I started to think that if I took all the principles of environmental science and made them into directives that tell you what to do, then we've got a way to go. Luckily, Kenneth Watts at the University of California at Davis, had just put o

I remember her having the face of determination and realization. I couldn't understand her complacent approach to the whole thing. When I asked her about this -- she told me what she had heard. While in the doctor's office, hearing his words -- she heard in her head -- "You did it -- and you can fix it". From that point on, life has been an obvious miracle (obvious to us). Books and spiritual work came our way and Sharon soon realized that her emotional feelings which she had projected on her parents' relative to her negatively perceived way of raising her (mind you, I said her projected feelings) -- created a very toxic condition in her form which then manifested in that very debilitating meeting at the doctor's office. (Debilitating for me) Anyway, that experience is such a prime example of how negative thoughts and other negative energies (sometimes out of this lifetime) manifest in negative physical conditions in our present form. At this point, everyone should know that Sharon is in wonderful health and enjoys the work which was designed for her which was made known to her not too long after the universal shock award was given to her. :-) Folks should also realize that the reason that it is said that allopathically treated cancer often returns within two years of its first visit -- is because the origin and cause of the disorder is never addressed. It is a personal evolutionary process... Peace.

Healing: Blessing
Dear list, This is in response to Jane's request for other experiences in the healing modalities. This is my personal experience as well as that of many others. Blessing one's food is a good deal more than feeling "godly". Years ago, Sharon attended a dowser's conference and brought home the revelation that some of the most accomplished dowsers at the conference had demonstrated through their intuitive work that simply "blessing" one's food prior to eating not only was for appreciation -- but, rather, it increased the nutritional and energetic value of the food. Now, we will always appreciate super organic food and food grown with a bd protocol -- but, always -- no matter the food -- it will be enhanced through a good prayerful "thank you." Peace.

Astra/o extras
Title: Astra/o extras . Feb 21, Thursday. Our largest known asteroid Ceres moves into Pisces late today or early tomorrow, and remains in the Pisces domain until May 14. Ceres has been apart of the collective awareness since 1801 also enjoying the fact that it was the first asteroid discovered. Ceres is the Roman counterpart to Demeter, both earth mother, fertility goddesses who were preceded by Inanna and Ishtar. Their stories all have in common the descent or journey into the underworld, essentially dying and being reborn. As Ceres passes through Pisces the compassionate mother archetype is strongly emphasized. Tapping into this timing is a good one for connecting with the Compassionate Mother within, lovingly accepting yourself and others, and taking time to nurture yourself imagining how you would have most liked your mother to nurture you. (Demetra George Asteroid Goddesses http://isbn.nu/0935127151/price) >From Kristo Thursday 2/21/02 "There is a special moment for each happening and to miss this moment is a great tragedy." Osho The Gemini MOON Squares unaspected Piscean VENUS at 12:39 AM CST -6GMT. Using your Intuition is not meant to be hard work...but it does take some practice. At least for today...forget the grunt work of practice and just let yourself play with the possibilities born of the moment. There is nearly the guarantee that you'll be privy to some startling, clairvoyant information Just be careful what you think and do in terms of this one-time gift of the Collective Unconscious. LUNA Opposes unaspected PLUTO at 11:31 AM. The men of Troy had a similar premonition when it came to the large wooden gift left at their city gates. This being the Chinese year of the Horse, it's required that we all exercise extreme caution when it comes to the gifts of the Unconscious. We are by no means always adequately prepared for what those gifts fully entail. The rewards are myriad...but so too are the subsequent responsibilities. Accept them...by all means...but don't turn your back until you're sure what comes next. Expect to feel skittish...at least until you Know.
