The future: I am an astrologer and for me, the archetypes of time are VERY real. What DNA is to human biology, the planetary spheres are to its spiritual equivalent. I don't need anyone in this forum to validate this perspective, as I have studied The Logos for over 30 years and require no outside validation. I share in this forum to bear witness to a knowledge seldom allowed in modern discourse or its certified arenas of conjecture.

Mars represents the untamed human ego, the first chakra, the fight (as opposed to flight) syndrome. If you read an earlier post of mine on this thread, I explain its association with the time period in which the Old Testament's Thesis came into dominion.

Because statistics back me in how much of the US budget goes directly towards the military or its various and sundry weapons programs, I think it's very fair to say that in the US "Mars rules."

You can send "it" all the love you want. If societies were not organized around an exclusively MALE concept of the deity, to the point where half the human race has been excluded not only from all the mundane decision-making tables, but also taken for LESS THAN holy (or equivalent to the masculine) in the alleged God's eyes, we would not be facing such asymmetric anti-life values and practices in so many arenas of life.

Mars is necessary for the experience of independent egos evolving through the experience of embodiment on the earth plane. At its best, Mars is the sensual counterpart and EQUAL PARTNER to Venus, and protector of law, sound principle, and those that cannot defend themselves. What's happened is that Mars has been inverted to serve the military state in its violent control over citizens. This is happening to many nations, and unfortunately the US is leading the way. As Smedley Butler and Jack Perkins also pointed out, a good deal of Mars/militarism serves capital interests, and when money is gotten by ill-begotten means, then VENUS (principle of wealth and the Divine feminine counterpart to Mars) is also inverted.

This symbolic marriage of two powerful archetypes, both inverted, has sent our world to hell... as seen in escalating violence in a great many places, resource desecration and depletion, and a monetary system that now doesn't mean shit to a tree thanks to the faux-wealth instrument known as the swap/derivative.

Balance is a KEY factor in righting humanity's course. Not more militarism and or any further claims to violence as remedy for all ills.

Perhaps in that regard, you and I are on the same (cosmic) page.

I have raised most of these points in many prior posts. A few thank me for doing so, but I also seem to function as a lightning rod that attracts a number of ferocious and dim-witted trolls.

In my last book I begin it with Einstein's quote, that "No problem is solved at the level of thinking that brought it about." The astrologer is the first, and apparently enduring heretic... because we raise the discussion above the level of a two-dimensional contest between dual polar camps. I suppose that's what I've been trying to relate in response to this intense thread.

It's too many of the world's cultures that have unresolved gender/sex issues, not those who observe current practices and comment on them.

I questioned what the propaganda machine was puttin' out immediately, and read a number of alternative views. But yours now...makes sense. Of course. Perfect reason for a US military base to remain on Okinawa.

Yeaaaahhhh, Japanese people!!! Am proud of you for seeing through it!!!

And just where has your wishy-washy misplaced "tolerance" gotten Gaza? - Some effective counter-terror to Israel's systematic murders just might - might - save the next lives Israel plan on offing. There could be netto gain in lives. Easily. The IDF has plans made up for war in Lebanon, again. And only worry for the consequenses by the USA has held IDF back from attacking Iran - according to Seymour Hersh.

Your implied advocacy of non-violence only begets more violence in the case of Israel, as history shows. Israel is a state in a psychotic state. Psychotics are best restrained with physical force.

Cf. "The massacre that took place was a premeditated Israeli operation. Israel wanted blood because it believes that its ‘power of deterrence’ expands with the more dead it leaves behind." - Al Jazeera, Gilad Atzmon (gilad.co.uk), an Israeli-born writer and jazz musician living in London. He has previously served in the Israeli military.

Or don't you think the Allies' counter-killing of Germans in WWII did anything to stop Hitler? Do you think the German nazis would've been stopped by dreamy words and politely "narrow-minded" placards carried by you et al? - Not so, Miss wishy-washy new ager who let others do the suffering for you and the fighting for you.

Don't recommend not fighting back on behalf of those suffering attack while you suffer nothing. That's cowardice plus high-horse moralizing without a horse to sit on.

Sorry to correct you. The occupied portions of the Soviet Union put up a huge resistance and paid dearly for it in death meted out by the German Army. The Balkans had a very large resistance, and paid dearly. The Italians and French had a moderate resistance (although the Italians might want you to think otherwise). The Danes had a passive resistance, and the Norwegians had a small but extremely effective, heroic, and - for the Germans - debilitating resistance. It was just not that large in numbers and that's just as well. If you doubt the numbers, there is a little museum within the confines of the Akerhus in Oslo that will give you a blow by blow walk through the entire war. In the North there was a regular infantry consisting of Norwegians, Poles, some Brits, and Russians fighting against the Germans, not an underground. As expected with the Ukrainians, and to a lesser degree with the Balkans, and to some degree the French and Italians, the northern contingent fighting forces contained a good number of Communists, who fought valiantly. Fortunately they didn't succeed in taking over the country after the war.

As I already wrote once, the Norwegian underground was never as large in proportion to the population as in other parts of Europe, but were extremely effective. The members also provided various degrees of engagement. The Norwegian people are what they are; tough, pragmatic, honorable, and heroic. They are quite honest and comfortable with what they are, they don't have to mythologize their past the way some other nations do. I don't think Norwegians would feel a need to quibble over the adjective "small", and I know a number of them.

To them I say, "Alt for Norge!"

The orthodox Jews living in the British Mandate of Palestine opposed the formation of a "Jewish State" because they correctly believed that it would become a secular state.

JOE: Well and wisely stated. Your posts are often rich in understanding, and quite succinct in commentary.

I understand the thrust and intent of your comments (this and others) perfectly well.

But nevermind. You're right in a way. Individual judgements about blame probably don't matter much. What does matter is a global consensus that is growing very rapidly and Israel knows it -- or at least some of their more intelligent assessors do. See http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/DocView.asp?did=1000563370&fid=980

Simple. Don't read it and go take your pathetic excuses for supporting Zionazism and read and write in another blog that appreciates them. That we are saved from your pathetic opinion to which of course you have a right!
