September 2019 Spiritual Insights and Predictions
I just returned from Europe and it is always interesting to experience the world and people through many different cultures. It is like getting outside yourself and seeing things from an entirely different perspective. When I travel and teach, I get to know people as they live and not as a tourist. Listening to their perspective based on their experiences actually helps me understand astrology more.
I noticed on this trip how we all connect on some kind of commonality. When we find something we agree on or feel a commonality we bond and like that person. Those that we have no commonality we do not bond or come together. Of course, the commonality on this trip was astrology. The first part of the trip we were in Germany with many western astrologers. We attended the wedding of Ray Merriman and Antonia Lansdorf, both my dear friends for many years. It was amazing to cruise down the Rhine river with all the intellectual minds in astrology. Even though we had different perspectives of astrology we bonded on the commonalities. As I taught in Vienna there were students from many countries, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Turkey, England, Canada and South Korea. We all bonded in the passion for astrology. This was so much fun. Many thanks to Natalie Alison Aufischer who arranged our event there.
Outside of the astrological circles I noticed when we spoke with others we search for some kind of commonality in conversation from the love of high heel shoes, to travels and interest in different cities, to children, pets or sports. Also, I noticed wherever the people were the happiest they treated you with more kindness and had a way to make you feel special. This was in certain cities and even in certain hotels. When you have a good experience with people feeling accepted with recognition and a smile you feel good about the place and people.
Because the world is becoming one with globalization we have to find commonality that we can connect with to open the world to a much more loving place, without this we will destroy ourselves. To focus on the differences and not the commonalities will hurt us. One of the big things that separates is our religious and political beliefs. We have to let go of these strong opinions. There is always a reason why we feel the way we do based on our upbringing and what we are told. We must always have an open mind and understand why someone believes the way they do. The most important aspect of our lives beyond all else is the way we treat others. Our opinions that cause us to not connect or not like others is all in the lack of finding something to bond us.
The truth is, if the divinity of God resides in all of us then the way we treat others is recognizing that divinity in all other human beings. This has nothing to do with wrong or right but the respect, appreciation and caring for others. Remember the way you make people feel will be the most important thing people will remember. Don’t complicate this with all the rights or wrongs. Connect with others through a commonality and kindness and the same will be retuned to you. And you will begin to feel the presence of God in everyone changing your outlook on the world.
Many planets will be transiting in Virgo in September which will bring out the hypercritical ways in all of us. But we can use this scrutinizing and critical energy for the positive by analyzing ourselves instead of criticizing others. When we criticize and find faults with others this indicates an insecurity within ourselves. When we focus on other’s faults we are making ourselves superior because our way is the right way and they are wrong. The more you find faults with others the more you are trying to make yourself right. This all boils down to the fact that you feel the need to validate your own beliefs by making others wrong. When you know you are right you will not have to validate your beliefs by making others feel wrong. The more secure you are with your beliefs the more you will not have to validate them.
Nestlé Waters’ is at it again, wanting to take publicly owned water and sell it back to the public. Their proposal to take 1.1 million gallons per day from Florida’s Ginnie Springs has drawn a backlash from conservationists.
Ginnie Springs sits in the Santa Fe River and serves as a home for several species of turtles that nest on the river’s banks. Conservationists and Environmental groups say the river is too fragile to support Nestlé’s plans. The river is already listed as “in recovery” by the Suwannee River water management district after years of over-pumping, according to the Guardian.
Mønsted Kalkgruber er verdens største sammenhængende kalkmine med omkring 60 kilometer underjordiske gange i op til seks etager. Minegangene rummer en af de største samlinger af overvintrende flagermus i Europa
Mønsted Kalkgruber, der har leveret mørtel til kirkebyggerier, er blevet renoveret for 28 millioner kroner.
Mønsted Kalkgruber vest for Viborg genindvies fredag af statsminister Lars Løkke Rasmussen (V) efter en større renovering. Læs om historien bag minen her:
Mønsted Kalkgruber er verdens største sammenhængende kalkmine med omkring 60 kilometer underjordiske gange i op til seks etager.
De ældste af gangene er udhugget for mere end 700 år siden, mens de nyeste er fra 1900-tallet.
Kalkgruber er huler i kalklag, hvor der i mange århundreder er blevet brudt kalk, blandt andet til fremstilling af mørtel til opbygning af kirker og klostre.
Minen har været i brug til udvinding af kalk fra middelalderen og frem til 1950'erne.
I 1981 blev minen købt af violinisten Anker Buch, der i 1997 solgte stedet til Naturstyrelsen.
Minegangene rummer en af de største samlinger af overvintrende flagermus i Europa.
En række fonde, herunder Realdania og Bevica Fonden, har bevilget 28 millioner kroner til forbedring af faciliteterne på stedet, herunder lettere tilgængelighed.

Military.com 21 Dec 2017 By Hope Hodge Seck
VAERNES GARRISON, Norway -- The stated goals of the Marine Corps' newest rotational force in Norway are to enhance partnerships with European allies and improve the service's ability to fight in cold weather.
But on a brief visit to the 300-member unit ahead of Christmas, the commandant and the sergeant major of the Marine Corps both described the strategic role the small unit fills -- and the fact that a peacetime mission can be preface to combat if circumstances change.
The Norwegian Home Guard base near Trondheim that houses the Marine rotational force was the first stop on Gen. Robert Neller's annual Christmas tour.
The stop was a new one for the tour. The first Norway rotation, from 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, deployed in January and was replaced by a new unit from 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines, in late August.
Neller emphasized to the Marines that they should remain ready to fight at all times, predicting a "big-ass fight" on the horizon.
"I hope I'm wrong, but there's a war coming," Neller said. " ... You're in a fight here, an informational fight, a political fight, by your presence."
The alleged use of sexual blackmail by spy agencies is hardly unique to the case of Jeffrey Epstein. Although the agencies involved as well as their alleged motivations and methods differ with each case, the crime of child trafficking with ties to intelligence agencies or those protected by them has been around for decades.
Some cases include the 1950s -1970s Kincora scandal and the 1981 Peter Hayman affair, both in the U.K.; and the Finders’ cult and the Franklin scandal in the U.S. in the late 1980s. Just as these cases did not end in convictions, the pedophile and accused child-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein remained at arms’ length for years.
“For almost two decades, for some nebulous reason, whether to do with ties to foreign intelligence, his billions of dollars, or his social connections, Epstein, whose alleged sexual sickness and horrific assaults on women without means or ability to protect themselves… remained untouchable,” journalist Vicky Ward wrote in The Daily Beast in July.
The protection of sex traffickers by intelligence agencies is especially interesting in the wake of Epstein’sdeath. Like others, Epstein had long been purported to have links with spy agencies. Such allegations documented by Whitney Webb in her multi-part series were recently published in Mintpress News.
Webb states that Epstein was the current face of an extensive system of abuse with ties to both organized crime and intelligence interests. She told CNLive! that: “According to Nigel Rosser, a British journalist who wrote in the Evening Standard in 2001, Epstein apparently for much of the 1990s claimed that he used to work for the CIA.”
Vicky Ward, who wrote on Epstein for Vanity Fair before his first arrest, and claimed the magazine killed one of her pieces after Epstein intervened with editor Graydon Carter, said in a Tweet that one of Epstein’s clients was Adnan Khashoggi, an arms dealer who was pivotal in the Iran Contra scandal and was on the Mossad (the Israeli intelligence agency) payroll. This was also noted in a book “By Way of Deception” by former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky.
A former Epstein friend reported in @Salon last week that Epstein claimed “he worked for governments to recover money looted by African dictators. Other times those dictators hired him to help them hide their stolen money.” https://t.co/pYkOlFGoyY
The Times of Israel reported that Epstein was an “active business partner with former prime minister Ehud Barak” until 2015, adding: “Barak formed a limited partnership company in Israel in 2015, called Sum (E.B.) to invest in a high-tech startup…. A large part of the money used by Sum to buy the start-up stock was supplied by Epstein.”
Webb wrote he “was a long-time friend of Barak, who has long-standing and deep ties to Israel’s intelligence community.” On the board of their company sat Pinchas Bukhris, a former commander of the IDF cyber unit 8200.
Epstein’s allegedly protected status was revealed by Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who gave Epstein an infamously lenient plea deal in 2007. Acosta, who was forced to resign as President Donald Trump’s labor secretary because of that deal, reportedly said of the case: “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”

The
USDA organic program is a joke - massive fraud committed by farmers
If you trust USDA "organic" to truly be organic,
you're being hoodwinked. One U.S. farmer ran a multi-year organic fraud
scheme that produced millions of bushels of fake organic soybeans and corn,
and it took the USDA eight years to shut it down.
That's why we trust no one when it comes to clean food
ingredients or materials. "Organic" is no longer enough. We can't
trust anything unless it's laboratory tested and verified, even if it's
certified organic.
