  1. So beautiful.. Bird or a religious symbol? The symmetry is incredible. Why can’t the entity behind this be put in charge of the Treasury? He would have a much better chance of balancing the budget than the current crop of Goldman clowns. Of course, one would have to have the intent of balancing the budget and be willing to expose where the money is really going.

  2. Wow!

    That is so beautiful. I find these things so amazing. Like any truly excellent work of art, they get you to stop, think and look at everything fresh, new.

    Thanks, Eric.

  5. Ancient cultures relied a lot on astrology. More a hobby today isn’t it? If whoever set the heavens in motion put such mathmatical order to it, and meshed with time, doesn’t that blow the big bang theory out of the water? Not really indicating randomness.

  6. “Beware threatening a person’s credibility if they explore the unknown — that is generally where real power lies. That is why doing so is so encouraged by the powerful. It is a way of getting all the outsiders to intellectually castrate each other — a self-maintaining herd.”

    Nice quote, Cathrine. I’m saving this….

  7. Along the lines of a willingness to investigate things that educated people normally dismiss as silly superstition:

    I used to do this with astrology. It was just something fun, a goof. I had a friend, a very left-brained, mathematically inclined engineer who, for fun, decided to study Vedic astrology, intrigued by the math. And then he realized, hey, there’s really something going on here. In the spring of 2000, looking at my chart, he cautioned me that my father should watch his health (he had never met my father and knew nothing about him). Later that year, my father died. This got my attention.

    In the past few months I’ve begun to study it myself, and have been astonished at the insight it has given me to my own character. But more than this, it can shed light on the events of the day.

    In the spring of 2001, Robert Hand wrote an article about the opposition between Pluto and Saturn and aspects of Bush’s own chart. He cautioned about the high probability of war, economic trouble and cataclysmic events. Of course, he could not have known about 9-11 when he was writing the article (published in the August edition of Mountain Astrologer: http://mountainastrologer.com/standards/editor's%20choice/articles/sat_pluto/sat_pluto.html)

    I point this out because Saturn and Pluto will be making another challenging angle to one another starting in January of 2010.

    Although some of the terms will be meaningless to those who have not studied astrology, the article is still well worth reading. And to anyone who would be inclined dismiss astrology out of hand (as I once did), I’d encourage you to at least investigate it, in a serious way, before you do so.
