At face value talking about the Economy is boring to most people. I learned about the World Reserve Currency and how the value of the US Dollar is connected to oil back in 2007 from Jordan Maxwell. Unfortunately, Maxwell proved to be more of a fear monger than a change agent. I still love him and I think it's sad that he's wound up with nothing despite the fact he educated thousand's about what was going on behind the scenes. Sadly, his belies led him to coming to negative conclusions...much like Zehciriah Stitchin's beliefs led him to create a fearful picture of alien manipulation that amplified fear in his fans. Both, were just a little off...just enough truth but their delivery is what made it interesting and exciting to learn...so without either of them I probably wouldn't have stepped onto the path of the seeker.
The idea of switching to digital money is decades old. Banks have wanted to do the switch for a long time. We covered the possibility during my MBA. Digital currency would be 'safer' because it would eliminate money fraud (people printing their own dollar bills) and it would stop the black markets (for a time). Governments want it because it would lead to more tax revenue Bitcoin has proven, thanks to all of the nerds and radicals who jumped onto it, that digital currency works. For the most part it has been demonized because there was the possibility it could become the worlds reserve (i.e. default/most traded) form of currency and no one wants a company to hold that power (not many of us are thrilled with Governments having that power but...countries issuing currency is an ancient tradition). The majority of transactions in the United States are digital with bank cards already. Much like the fear of RFID chips there has been a lot of resistance to the idea. The fact is that a change in the economic system of the United States is imminent because of what's happening on the World Stage. Perhaps, the bizarre world wide reaction to Covid19 (Coronavirus itself is nothing new- this is just a new strand) and manufactured unemployment in the United States are linked to this major economic game change. Articles On World Reserve Currency 1. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex-currencies/092316/how-us-dollar-became-worlds-reserve-currency.asp 2. https://www.americanexpress.com/us/foreign-exchange/articles/could-dollar-be-replaced-as-world-reserve-currency/#:~:text=The%20International%20Monetary%20Fund%20(IMF,used%20in%20global%20FX%20reserves. The Situation The United States Empire, as Ron Paul calls it, is fueled by the fact that the US Dollar is the World Wide Reserve Currency. The value of the dollar was based on the price of oil per barrel. Our military has, sometimes brutally, enforced and ensured that we are the main reserve currency. The United States got rid of the gold standard long ago. The price of oil is what has given the Dollar it's value on the Global Level. A currency's value is based on the idea that it can be exchanged for a specific amount of a highly prized item. Previously, it was the Gold Standard. That keeps a "control" on the amount of money produced by a country because it's limited by the amount of the physical goods they possess. The real reason we went into Iraq was because there had been a rumbling that Iraq was interested in the US dollar no longer being the Reserve Currency. The countries with the most oil thought it would be logical that their currency should be the World Reserve Currency and not the United States. As long as the US dollar was the Reserve Currency it gave the U.S. control of the world. US Sanctions against other countries are a real threat because the dollar is the Reserve Currency. When its reported that the military is protecting "US interests" abroad 99.9% of the time it's based on maintaining the US dollar as the Reserve Currency. Let's face it...if you're a United States citizen like me you've benefited from this situation. Most, however, are ignorant about why we do things and believe the television propaganda. The Reserve Currency value was dependent on the value of oil. Instead of a gold standard it was based on the price of Oil per gallon. Hence, why the huge propaganda that oil reserves would run out...the more rare and in demand a commodity the more value. Plus friends of the Government could secure funds to launch a bunch of experimental companies such as Electric Cars...while hoarding the US oil supply. When the agreement between Russia and Saudi Arabia fell apart last year the dramatic price war between the two countries caused oil prices to drop in value dramatically. Here is an article about how the oil price war was a mistake: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/09/saudi-russia-oil-price-war-was-very-big-mistake-qatar-energy-minister.html Subsequently, the US economy went into free fall. We have become so dependent on non-US trade for basic goods it became clear that there would be shortages. Enter Coronavirus...a convenient scape Goat for the economic drop but it distracted everyone. The economic free fall stopped as each country began "fighting" this new enemy. At the time that this Pandemic hit Al Jazeera was reassuring everyone that the dollar remained strong despite the dramatic price drop in oil. Here is an article by Al Jazeera claiming the Pandemic has proven that there is only one world reserve currency: https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/countingthecost/2020/03/pandemic-proves-world-reserve-currency-200328113954984.html Meanwhile China has been buying gold. They are positioning themselves as the new Reserve Currency and they plan on making it digital. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogerhuang/2020/05/25/china-will-use-its-digital-currency-to-compete-with-the-usd/#63f0819131e8 Meanwhile, the Fedral Bank of the US continues to print money non-stop and other countries have taken notice. Just look at the bail outs. This risks the value of the dollar to drop dramatically because it becomes 'just worthless paper.' The 'one time' bail out of 1200 was largely a success with few people wondering where the mo eye came from. That might have been a test to see if the US was ready for this new economic system. The first people to be ushered into this new Fed Coin system will be the millions of waiters, waitresses, hair stylists, and others who have not been allowed to return to work. Since they are dependent on the Government they will be grateful for whatever 'money' the government gives them. At this point in time the system is already in place to do it...the currency would only be linked to accounts just like the Debit Card...in the every day life experience...it would be just like things now...only physical cash will be completely phased out. No more stashing $100 bills in your sock drawer so you don't spend it. In a way, it's a new paradigm...in a lot of ways it would just be business as usual for the normal law abiding citizen. My Opinion There is a fear that digital money would give rise to a bigger welfare state. That it would become a socialist tool. Banks, people claim, are independent. Socialism doesn't work. Yet, the United States is not a Capitalist society as we are lead to believe. We're somewhere in the middle. Much as we are a Democratic Republic are monetary policy has been a Socialist Capitalisim. We are really good at taking two different systems and integrating them so that they work. Yet, it's been working. In a totally capitalist society Snake Oil salesman thrive. The government doing research to ensure products do what they say to some degree is a good thing. Making sure that hair stylists and doctors go to school is a good thing. Requiring licenses for some businesses makes sense...how many of is have avoided a restaurant that had a B health code grade? Heck, I won't even step into one that has a C...and so I'm super thankful to county health inspectors. So, some government oversight and regulation is a good thing. Meanwhile, the people of the US have made it clear we don't want our military to be the police of the world. Both Obama and Trump ran on the promise of ending that habit. Obama failed horribly. Trump seems to be trying by trying to take troops out of Afghanistan (which was denied by Congress). The average United States citizen, however, has no clue why we've had so much influence over countries or why we were acting as the police of the world. Isn't interesting in our own streets the openly Marxist/Socialist group Black Lives Matter is calling for an end of our domestic police forces? Isn't almost as though on subconscious level an extension of saying we don't want to be the World Police? At the end of the day I think digital currency is inevitable. Like most innovations it may be better if the US is the first. We certainly don't want to be the last. Yet, there is the worry it would give the government too much control. The problem is no one knows if or how it will work because it's never been done. The key thing is understanding what gives things value. Economics is more of an abstract art and far less 'solid' then people think. Value in society isn't really determined by gold or oil. Value is assigned by people. Society's decide if they value the dollar....it's a Public Relations/ Marketing game. To me digital money sounds like credits from Star Trek...perhaps it would be a step forward. A lot of people who would discredit the idea are also the ones who thing we have a purely Capitalist society. While I sound like a hippy saying this...I like that it doesn't require the killing of trees or strip mining of precious metals. The control governments are executing around the world is beating people into submission based on the "humanitarian" desire to protect "vulnerable" people from dying. This might be to soften people up and distract them so that this economic change goes smoother. People won't be able to openly protest the change in currency if they're afraid of other people breathing on them or BLM protesters who are already in the street. Remember the old saying, "Never let a crisis go to waste?" Do I think this crisis is natural? I think it's possible (if not highly likely) that the Covid19 may have been created with the intention of lowering the world's resistance to an economic restructuring. A think tank somewhere might have cooked up this scenario somewhere as a way for the switch to happen. Maybe this is a strategy that the Bilderberg people agreed upon last year. Leading people to believe that it was a slow natural progression. The Coronavirus isn't killing more people than the normal flu season. In fact, flu related deaths are probably being counted as the new virus because they are the lowest on record. I've known four healthy individuals that tested positive and felt sick for only three days. In the US the largest amount of deaths occurred in nursing homes with the first outbreak that they haven't been able to trace back to a source happening in Washington. In Democratic states (Michigan, New York, and New Hampshire) they purposefully decided it was discrimination not to allow infected elderly patients to be transferred to nursing homes. They then delivered the people with body bags. Creepy. https://khn.org/morning-breakout/gov-cuomos-order-to-house-covid-patients-in-nursing-homes-scrutinized/ At the same time if those elderly people were bedridden and suffering but either they or their family couldn't let go of their physical body maybe it's a mercy. In my opinion, the medical industry has the ability to keep the body alive on machines an unnatural amount of time. Yet, remember the Death Panels that were suggested with the Universal Healthcare Act (Obamacare)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_panel#:~:text=TIME%20wrote%20that%20%22a%20single,allow%20physician%20reimbursement%20for%20counseling. Insurance companies have made it clear that the elderly bed ridden are the biggest financial burden on their companies. Maybe Coronavirus is being used to do double duty by getting rid of the heaviest economic burden on the health insurance system. My Dream Why do I think this is the "next thing" or even the underlying agenda behind the bizarre events currently occurring across the world? I had a dream that I was at a Fair/Carnival. However, in order to participate I had to turn in my cash for their digital currency...and I wouldn't get the cash I didn't use back. I was angry so I tried to leave but I couldn't. Interpertation When I dream of a Fair or Carnival it usually means every day mundane events. Often times, it's a warning. This dream made it pretty evident that there wasn't a choice. I had no option to leave. If I wanted to participate in he activities I would have to turn my money into credits. I've been conditioned to believe it's a bad scary thing. Yet, just with all conditioning...is their evidence that it will be? Are the Whistleblowers just being alarmists? Conclusion I had no idea Fed Coin was originally a part of thr CARES act passed in a rush earlier this year. Thankfully it was taken out and the issue is being talked about. I wonder if FedCoin is part of the hold up in the debate between the Senate and Congress as they try to agree on another incentive package. If the United States isn't the first to implement it...China surely will...and while we could take a wait and see approach...it's unlikely given that the World Reserve Currency is at stake. The position of the US dollar as top world currency has been paid for by the blood on innocents. That it could be wiped out so quickly is doubtful. Too many people in DC have "skin"in the game. I wouldn't mind the actual idea of multiple world reserves currencies being equally. We could scale back the military and the C.I.A. I know I can adapt to digital currency with ease because it won't be any different from the current debit card system I mostly use which I consider more secure than carrying cash. Change can be hard. Change can be scary. Everyone resisted Debit Cards at first and then the RFID chips because of the fear of being tracked. Now they're normal. Even my mom has stopped writing checks. We are tracked on the internet by Google. Who hasn't talked about something they wanted and the next thing Amazon suggests it? Yet, many of us still use Google. The need for privacy is linked to Separation from Source, which was a good thing, I must remind you. Don't listen to anyone who tries to demonize individuality. Humanity cannot go back to the Hive Mind state of being. We can go forward with a hybrid point of view...a little privacy and a In exchange for the latest and greatest technologies most of us have traded being anonymous. Yes, the power could be abused. Yes, under the table deals will be non-existent unless a barter system was implemented. At least it will give the Black Market a pause. At the end of the day though, I don't care if a computer somewhere recorded that I bought 8 onions in the last month. Also, yes it's sad that our physical bodies die. I miss all of my daughter, relatives and friends that have crossed over into Spirit. Endings are sad. I prefer beginnings. The first book or movies in a series are always my favorite. There is always so much potential. I prefer to look at digital currency as a fresh blank page of a new book. No one truly knows what will happen.

When I pulled this stone I admit it caused me to pause for a moment.
Here's what my two sources for Stone meanings have to say about Fluorite and then I'll weigh in with a dream I had about this stone and shape about a month ago. According to SageGoddess.com Fluorite is the dharma soul pathing stone. Dharma is your soul's lesson/purpose in this life. The stone also helps you align with your intentions and clears the obstacles towards your dream. A super powerful stone based on this description right? They also associate it with the Crown Chakra. The Essential Guide To Crystals, Minerals and Stones by Margret Ann Lembo also associates Fluorite with the Crown Chakra but also third eye, heart and solar plexus. She associates the stone with releasing 'monkey mind', an aid to meditation and genius/inspiration. These associations have a lot in common. When you add in the Sacred Geometry of the Octahedrom there is an entirely new layer to to the meaning. Octa means 8 and there are eight 'faces' to this stone, 12 edges and six vertices. If you look at it from the point it looks as though there is a Merkaba inside of the crystal. Further, the Octahedrom represents Air in sacred Geometry. In the Medicine Wheel the Air is associated with the Eastern direction. (Think of the Sun as a light bulb of inspiration turning on every morning...when we grasp an idea we 'see the light'). Air represents thinking...and it's represented by the Swords in the Tarot. Further, in the process of Creation/the creative process (Alchemy)...take for example, creating a chair...the idea/sketch/plan for the chair is an essential step. There is some debate if the material (Earth- North Direction) comes first because if the material to create the chair didn't already exist prior to the Creation then there would be nothing to create with...but that's a debate we will go into some other time. The chair exists as a 'Template' before it is brought into reality by the Creator of the chair. Personal Associations/Meditation When I was reading the book Kabbalistic Astrology not very long ago I dreamt that I ate a Fluorite Octahedron and I knew that it represented astrology somehow. Of course when I looked up the shape octahedron I immediately connected it to astrology because of the 12 edges...just as there are 12 zodiac signs. I'm not sure about other connections because I haven't dived too deeply into additional connections to astrology. I'm sure there is a connection between the fixed, cardinal and mutable signs that hasn't occurred to me. I don't have a ton of time to dedicate to meditation or research...I am lucky when I get to read (right now I'm potty training my daughter which is exhausting absorbing work...although, on day three the second attempt- the first was at 18 months and we're now at about 24- she's pretty much got it). Saying that this is the Dharma stone or that it offers inspiration is spot on because what else does Astrology really represent? I know some people (Acuyta Bhava Das, for example) seem to think that the only purpose for Astrology is Divination. I think it goes a bit deeper then that and really represents the fabric of life as it is being woven...it contains not only the pattern of the every changing tapestry but also the specific threads represented by the planets that are associated with colors, chakras, soul groups, etc. If everything in the world is interconnected because...in essence this is all a part of the 'One Thing' as alchemists call it astrology symbolizes the distillment of that information on the Macrocosmic level. On the Micro-cosmic level you can look up Octahedral Geometry. I can't help but wonder if that dream was prophetic in some way of this moment...after all, there was that dream about the pure white cow that Kevin Todeschi said was that I was 'about to find my purpose' and now this...I also had a very similar dream recently that was, as far as symbolism goes, mind blowing. I wish share that dream, along with several other very powerful dreams that I had, in my Full Moon In Aquarius Meditation Post. Also, interesting is the fact that I plan to study the chart for my wedding day when my 'name' changed. In Kabbalistic Astrology Rabbi Joel C. Dobin suggests when that a name is added the astrological chart for that moment is now the person's chart. That is why Abram or Sarai couldn't have children but when God changed their names to Abraham and Sarah they could. In September or October I'll share not only what I found when applying this to my own life when my name changed from my maiden name of Carr to Korns but a meditation on this powerful and potentially life changing concept! You might remember, I had a dream recently involving Ant's where I said that the reason I came here was to prevent a Nuclear War during this transition of Ages. That's all I'm going to share for now. I'm sure this will be an evolving topic over the years as I continue my studies and research.
Thanatos, the Wish for Death.
This is a basic philosophical principal. This is also, undoubtedly, the meaning behind the name of the Marvel Villian Thanos. Mankind has a kind of love affair with Death. When the first person gained a sense of unique self- due to the combination of Matter and Spirit- the Death Wish was born. Ego was also born...and selfishness. That selfishness is, essentially, what led to death. When we have a 'My way or the Highway' sort of mentality...when we try to force our vision of Creation onto others...that's when we know we are coming from Ego. This Human Wound is what's being healed this year...this desire for death...for the constant reset of reincarnation and starting from scratch with no memory that we are Eternal Souls having a temporary experience...that seems to be unique to Earth. Out of all Creation this world is the only one where Death and Forgetfulness seem to rule. All the rest remain connected to Source. We alone are those souls strong enough and filled with the desire to gain the experiential mass necessary to step into the role John Van Auken calls, "Godling." Our ultimate destiny, once we can stand within the presence of the One Creator and not lose our sense of 'self'...our identity...is to create our own universes so that growth and expansion may conti ue to occur. We have to be alignment with the Creator, however, and not pursue selfish intentions. That is thet double edge of having a 'sense of self' that is separate from the rest of Creation. Really, the Earth consists of nearly 8 billion unique Worlds co-existing at the same time. No one can truly experience another's world (the Creator can) and this can lead to loneliness and selfishness...both of which were originally foreign to the Hive Mind that Souls originally possessed before becoming 'trapped in physical matter'. In order to live up to our destiny we must heal this Thanatos- this death wish- that has haunted the Collective since that first being gained that sense of self (leading to selfish behavior) that spread like a virus to everyone in the material realm and "created chaos" in heaven. While humanity and the Angel's seems to think this was mistake...some imperfect flaw in the system that needed to be wiped out or corrected...it was always the destiny of those souls curious enough to become "trapped" in matter to be 'a little higher' than the angels. There was a reason the realm of matter was created that Spirit could become "trapped in." I've explained this in depth elsewhere. In effect, it was this Thanatos- this Collective Death Wish- that lead to the ultimate catastrophe of Atlantis where they called down the Executioner- a Comet- to wipe out their civilization giving rise to the flood. Being separate, being alone, can be frightening. That Fear, in effect, is what lead to Death. Even if you read the story of Adam and Even in the Garden Fear was a big part of 'the Fall.' The thought that we are alone and no one can truly understand us/know us can give rise to the Death Wish or lead us to try and remake creation in order to feel safe. There's a reason that most villain's have that selfishness and desire to recreate the cosmos to fit their will. Here's some examples...

In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker it's the Hero's that realize that it's the feeling of being Alone that leads to Fear and the 'Dark Side' winning.
The thought was that if that experiment was wiped out Spirit would no longer be enamored with 'fleshly experiences' and that the order of the universe would be restored... Those souls, however, were indebted to the Earth- they owed Karma to the Earth- for the destruction they caused...leading to the karmic cycle of reincarnation. The Pause Some are calling this year, "The Pause." I like that name. With major theatrical movies not being released, essentially the ever-evolving story the Collective Unconscious tells itself paused, and with the lock down...our lives are indeed paused. This forcing people to go inward and as we struggle we are dealing with our Shadow where the Death Wish lurks. Unfortunately...most of the ways that people 'escape' or 'release' their tension in a community environment has been removed. From Bars, Gyms to Theme Parks...experiences are severely limited. In The Movies I've realized we had an indication that this was going to happen in theatrical releases....to the point where most of us left the theaters feeling dazed. The Coronavirus is being hyped to the level of "The Snap" or "The Blip" in Infinity War. If you believed the media the person working beside you could be gone in a moments notice...just poof in a hospital bed in an ICU. This is a very Christian 'Rapture' like feeling to it and the horror of being left behind for those who are believing the hype. The morose solemn feeling in the next two scenes...the aftermath of Thanos' snap from Avengers: Infinity War and the other when Amilyn Holdo sacrfices herself the save the rebels in Star Wars: The Last Jedi is similar to the emotionally stunned morose feeling that the Earth has right now. I think the use of silence in both films really brought it home.
I remember how silent and solemn the theaters were when leaving this movie. I remember people's eyes being downcast. There was this somber respect for the scenes that were witnessed.
I didn't really expect that silence to enter my life. This Pause really does have the weight of silence to it as the world seems to collectively wait to see what happens next. Even the Face Masks that seem to be universally embraced (despite the CDC saying they didn't work a year ago) looks like muzzles (a type of contraption used to silence animals- usually dogs). The Cancel Culture also effectively silences anyone that disagrees with the current Media Narrative. When you think about it...right now the only Narrative is the Media. There really isn't a trendy television series that everyone is talking about at the moment...the majority of the Collective is focused on the Coronavirus and the governments while public gatherings are being shut down left and right. Hollywood has no influence on this year and the music industry lost it's influence on culture around 2005. There really isn't any form of distraction from this manufactured crisis. What's really creepy is that this moment feels a lot like this clip from the end of the Watchman movie that came out in 2009. Only instead of a nuclear blast a virus is being used to reach the same goal.
A Damaging Self-Narrative
I've heard this said far too often.. Man is an unnatural virus on this Earth that's destroying it. People agreed with Thanos argument that "balance" needs to be restored. Heck, it's not just in pop culture...I was taught this sort of stuff in school starting with Earth Day in the '80's. If you didn't recycle...you were killing the Earth. Don't you remember Captain Planet? From people blaming ourselves for environmental disasters- the hole in the ozone layer that was supposedly created by aerosol hairspray (healed), Global Warming That's Now Called Climate Change (but actually due to the poles shifting from Canada to Russia and an 11 year Solar Minimum affecting the atmosphere) to the threat of Nuclear War due to the arms race. To the idea that the world is horribly overpopulated that will lead to certain death by using up the Earth's resources... Mankind has stated that the Baby Boomer generation has 'broken the world' and that the newest Generation needs to fix it. I was going to share a quote from 2015 Fantastic 4 where a charecter Dr. Storm says that his generat broke the world and 'you kids' are 'going to fix it' but that's not on YouTube (it was a poorly received movie) but it really shows that people believe that nonsense. There is even a song out there, I think it's a Christian one, titled 'The World is Broken.' Talk about a lack of faith. No wonder Millennial and subsequent generations hate history, there is that annoying phrase, "Okay boomer," and they hate their ancestors. MTV did a poll and it came back that the generation after the Milennials wanted to call themselves 'The Founders' because they have been taught that the Baby Boomers have destroyed the world to the point that they will have to rebuild it from it's foundation. ​This dangerous narrative that the world is irreparably broken is a dangerous one. I've shown the prevalence for the belief that the world is destined to destroy itself...and there are plenty out there that agree with that...and even more who think that the Baby Boomers already did. Of course, the idea that things have to be 'fixed' only comes about when you look at Creation point of view that this is all a random bunch of chaos and mistakes. A series of rare random events occurred and humans evolved to the point where we are using up all of the planets resources. The problem is you have to ignore thousands of years of testimony and knowledge to believe this nonsense. The random theoretical scientific notion of the pointlessness and uselessness of human life has only existed since the Victorian Era...when technology started to explode and repression was rampant. ​If you look at the world there seems to be absolutely no reason to hope. ​ Of course, this reminds me of this scene from X-Men Days of Future Past.
On A Personal Level
In my New Moon Blog for July 20th 2020 I shared I had a dream that I talked to "Ancestor Ants". I didn't share what I said to them because it feels too self-important. Not to mention I'm not sure how such a 'purpose' can be achieved. I told them, "I came here to prevent a Nuclear War, do you think it worked?" Then they danced in spirals in agreement that it had. Bizarrely, when I got up the following morning and turned on the television the screen was black except the words, "I knew it would," as though from the question in my dream and then Mickey Mouse Playhouse on Disney+ started playing. I found it super bizarre but weird synchronicities like that happen to me way to often. They're often hard to describe and freak the heck out of me because it sounds so insane. This reminds me of the Awakening I had back in 2007. My mother reminded me that at the toughest part of that experience I told her that I was out of my body working with a group that was stopping war with Russia. I totally forgot about that until Hilary Clinton was trying to get elected and her main thing was that she needed to 'defeat Russia' which, insanely, would have led to World War III and a Nuclear War. Don't ask me...I get little glimpses of the meaning behind this stuff but at the end of the day I'm an overweight stay at home mom and no one special. Then I was confronted by a very unpleasant past life memory around the time of the Full Moon. I realized that I've struggled with a Solar Chakra blockage for some time. A block in this chakra can lead to a low zest for life. I was working with that energy in meditation before falling asleep...directing love and light to that chakra. I felt an immense relief but then I had a dream about the origin of this blockage. The memory had to do with the Death Wish and when it originated in my souls experience. I remember that I had a lot of children and I was worn out taking care of so many. In the dream I told myself I would only live until someone else died (I can't recall the name but it started with an A and it was a love interest in the dream) and then I would rest too. I guess that's where the term 'rest in peace' comes from. Of course, I know there is truly no death in Spirit...and really don't need to rest when in Spirit. When we physically die our consciousness continues to exist...the experience of this avatar is added to the knowledge of the soul...so seeing death as a respite or of a period of rest/relief from toil is an error. I'm still integrating and healing the energy from that particularly toxic past-life experience and it's given me a lot to consider. I entered this life extremely tired. I wonder if most of my incarnations were like that as this past life memory seemed extraordinary ancient...maybe even cave men level. Conclusion The Coronavirus is far from the End of the World or the worst case scenario for the world to experience something so shocking that it caused Compassion to rise on the planet. We could have experienced and healed the wound of The Death Wish in catastrophic ways. This virus that only kills the very sick and old...for which a vaccine will probably be developed and mass produced by December...is a gentle way of confronting that Karma. We could have called comet Neowise down on us. We could have unleashed a Nuclear War...the potential of which started in 2007. Things could be so much worse...and even better we can wake up to the fact that the Universe's Creation is not complete...that the Creator created us to help make the next level of Creation. Knowing that Science can't know all of the answers because things are not complete...is important. The Rule of Academia and Science on this world has come to an end. Science has a dirty little secret that they discovered in the seventies...that the bias of the scientist determines the results of the experiments. For another scientist to get the same result they have to hold the same point of view and belief system. So, science and academia tried to force everyone into the conformity box...to make 'bricks' out of all of us...or robots is you prefer that metaphor. Yet, the world is subjective...each human being is unique and responds to stimulus in a unique way (unless Group Think is applied). The knowledge of and the use of Group Think has been the greatest weapon ever created...because unlike guns there is nothing overt to fight. The karmic debt to the Earth has been repaid. A new human cycle is being born...it's not a pretty birth...but just as the mother often doesn't know where the strength for that final push comes from before a child is born... We've pretty much made it...and we're on the edge of a new extraordinary experience. Yes, it's long and drawn out because those who are less awake have to be given extra time to make their choices and acclimate to the new energy. I don't think any of this will make sense except in hindsight and maybe not even in our life time. Already, the news has switched to the statement that the Earth's population is in a downward trend. Here's the article: ​https://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/earth-s-population-may-start-to-fall-from-2040-does-it-matter-1.3808527 First, we're told it's catastrophic that we are overpopulated. Now countries may start instituting policies to try to keep their populations and productivity high. Oh well, that's humanity (and government) for you. Human survival is a fickle thing. Of course, we know how Rey's Star Wars triliogy ends...and how End Game ends with everyone showing up right when it starts to seem like everything is lost again...so I have to share those here to leave this on a happy note. I'm not sure how this is going to manifest in this world...but it's already been decided that this is the conclusion to this historic, "Pause." I also think that the movie that comes out first...whether it's Black Widow or Mulan may be important. I don't know if that will happen this year or next year they'll release when things were supposed to show up this year but it will be interesting to see how that plays out. This beautiful Solar Plexus stone is not one that most people agree on.
In the book Crystals, Minerals and Stones by Margaret Ann Lembo she says that Honey Calcite is brown and connects us with Nature. Lembo says that Honey Calcite is connected to the Root Chakra. Sage Goddes, however, says that it's a stone that heals relationships around Mothers. SG says that Honey Calcite is connected to the Solar Plexus Chakra. As I meditated on this gorgeous stone that looked so sunny when I lifted it up to the sunlight so that you can see the light through it...I had to agree that this was a Solar Plexus stone. I do have a piece of Honey Calcite that I found out on the claims that is brown and more dense...so I think both points of view are right depending on the stone. However, I don't like focusing just on the 'wounds' that our 'parents' gave us when we were younger. I'm evolving past that point of view that has become the dominant narrative. Blaming parents for where we are today is inauthentic. Also, as I've stated many times...by the time your in your late twenties or thrities you have absolutely no excuse for not taking responsibility for your life...including doing the inner work of healing by realizing parents are limited humans doing the best they can with what they've got. No one is perfect and placing blame is no longer ok...there's too much easily accessible information on how to heal those wounds for people to use it as an excuse past their twenties. Instead, I was reminded of honey and the symbol of the Honey Bee. Honey is created by the community of Bee's working together and...essentially nurturing their Mother. In this case, both the idea of Honey Calcite connecting to Nature, Nurture and Mother's are in agreement. The bees in a hive are born from the queen and persistently care for her because they know that without her there would be no hive, no community and nothing for them to work towards. They don't blame the Queen Bee for their existence, their failures or expect her to do everything for them. They only wish to ensure her survival so she can continue to create. I think we can learn a lot from Bee's in that regard. While I don't recommend that we adopt the Hive Mind of the Bee's I think working together so that each person can fulfill their role to the best of their ability. If we do what we can enthusiastically as possible with the intention of serving the whole without exception...we will inevitably work towards more harmony and inner peace. No matter how small the task...weeding the garden or cooking dinner or bagging groceries or mowing lawns... it has a deep meaning and it does serve the collective. Not everyone should be a rock star or a president...because that would leave a lot of work that is just as meaningful and important (if not more so) undone. On A Personal Note I couldn't have pulled a better stone out at random then this one...especially given that I pulled it on the day of the 2nd Cancer New Moon on July 20th 2020. I didn't mention this in my blog on this New Moon but there are a lot of 2's surrounding this New Moon. I feel that this New Moon, in my life, is deeply about communication with the Creator. I've seen the signs I equate with a need to go deeply within and nurture my inner Spirit. I also had a taste of the depression and that old mantra that I used to hold onto since I was a teenager, "I am no one, I am not important...I need to sleep..." and willing myself to go into a 'hibernation' mode where I was really shut down. I haven't felt that way in years now but the desire to do that came back with a vengeance for a few days where I could barely manage to maintain my daily routine...and actually indulged myself by sitting down and watching a few movies that were actually a bit depressing (Avengers Infinity War, The Last Jedi and the 2015 Fantastic 4)...just by coincidence because they were in the top row of recommended movies on Disney+. I have become aware of a Solar Plexus block (associated with this stone) that I am working with that has to do with a past life that has to do with...Mothering. I had a lot of children in that dream and a husband that didn't care as long as I was popping out kids. In fact, I got the impression that husband felt that was the only purpose for my existence. In particular, the feeling of wanting to die in order to rest because I was not able to feed all of the needs of my many children. I felt taken advantage of and exhausted but I was unable to declare my boundaries in that life. I longed for and dreamed only of my death in that life because I felt I could rest then. Their was so much deep despair in that dream...and an inability to realize that I needed to ask for help by saying, "Hey, I need time for myself and I don't feel like anyone is taking care of me...what about my needs? I feel depleted." I can't think of any mother that hasn't felt this way at time. I only have one child so far in this life and sometimes I'm like, "Ok, I just want to use the restroom on my own for once without an interruption." Of Course, the husband is just as guilty of interrupting...he choose to only watch the little one for 15 minutes unless I hit the point where I ask him for an entire day...even then I'm lucky if I get four to five hours on my own (when you want to read, write and meditate during that time...the time flies!). Trying to steal time buy indirect means is just as exhausting as not having at all...so I have to be very direct and pretty much bang the husband over the head verbally before he'll grant me some time alone. Standing up for 'me time' so I can rest, restore and fill my personal cup has been been a major life lesson for me. That means turning inward and helping to spark that inner fire, that was made in the image of the creator, and that passion/zest for life. I came into this life exhausted. My mom had to wake me to feed me when I was an infant. I sleep more than other people and it takes me a lot longer to recharge my battery then other people. I do not gain energy from being around other people...I'm drained of my energy when around other people so solitude is an absolute must for me. This stone is absolutely the best companion for this healing journey. I based my entire New Moon Ritual on releasing that Thanatos- that Death Wish that I carried from that past life into this one. I know now that I am an eternal being that always was, always has been and always will be...and while it does seem as though events occur in Spirit in a far more effortless way...it doesn't that finality of 'rest in peace' that humanity's long held beliefs about death possess. I wrote an entire blog on Thanatos that will come out on Saturday during the 'Me Time' I had this past weekend. Being a nurturer and concerned about the needs of outer circumstances is wonderful...but there has to be a balance of give and receive. I have to be careful not to give in an sacrifice myself...that doesn't really serve anyone. I don't need to receive that nurturing back from others either...but I do need time to myself to rest, relax and restore that inner spark in solitude. Visualizing the Solar Plexus as a battery is a good metaphor in that regard. Right now, solitude is not something that I have an ample supply of but it's becoming easier. I still have a lot of work to do regarding this lesson but I think this is a significant breakthrough. I really can't wait for Leo season this year...I'm hoping that it will infuse me with a vitality that I don't usually tap into and this beautiful Honey Calcite really seems to encapsulate that Solar Energy! I meant to share this blog earlier this week...not the day before the Full Moon. My apologies that it is a little last minute. I've been meditating on this one for a little while because it was puzzling at first. I'm new to astrology and I like to give things my own interpretation instead of regurgitating what others say...although, I listen to several astrologers. Luckily several of my favorites have weighed in on this New Moon and I was surprised some of them were in agreement with me. Especially, Coyote Star Astrology comparing this New Moon to labor...as I did when I first wrote the majority of this on July 16th (Coyote Star Astrology uploaded her video on July 17th). Of course, as always, I'll share links to the videos of the Astrologers I trust most.
Boy am I ready for a new cycle! Unfortunately, the energy isn't really going to shift significantly until December. We've got a lot of ground to cover so here we go... The Astrology This second New Moon In Cancer...four weeks after the last one...is almost the exact same energy. This is rare and significant...the Creator is really making a statement with this one. The only significant difference between this New Moon and the last one is that instead of a Solar Eclipse as an extraordinary event...we have the comet Neowise. Neo means New...but it's also an anagram and means One. Remember Neo from the Matrix? Such a weird coincidence. Does that mean that this is the One Timeline that doesn't go down the track to near species annihilation? (check out next week blog The Pause Meditations: Healing Thanatos). Energetically not much has changed. We have the same wobbly Grand Cross formation in Cardinal signs. Cardinal signs are the point of initiation...that "Call To Adventure" of the Hero's Journey or the first step the Fool takes in the Tarot. We have the usual gang Retrograde gang in Cappy (Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter). Pluto and Jupiter are still in a wide conjunction. This energy won't be shifting until December...that's when we will see real change. The outer reality, since these are all planets that represent the Collective remains "paused." Further, with Then we have the brother and sister of war (Mars and Eris) firing up Chiron (the Wounded Healer) in Aries. Aries is the 1st Astrological sign and it's an initiating energy. The only thing that has changed here is Chiron has turned retrograde emphasizing Shadow healing. Mars is square Mercury, however, which means that most of us will have short fuse...easily reacting with anger...during this cycle. Yikes! Finally, we have the Sun and Moon in Cancer. This is the Moons refuge and this New Moon is hosted by the moon. So, they are at full power but there is a direct opposition to Saturn...making for tense restrictive energy especially since they are in the final degrees. These are considered difficult degrees...it's a bit like the final scene in a movie...it's the apex or culmination point of the astrological House. Saturn is directly opposing the Moon (in the last New Moon it was a wide opposition and not exact) and that is like an angry father interrupting the Moon's conversation with the Sun by ordering her to go to her room. This New Moon is similar to a second set of contractions during the birthing process of a baby...we have the momentum of change but we're just not getting there yet. In Libra, the final sign of the Cardinal Cross we have Hera. Again, she's a dwarf planet so not all astrologers include her. Pam Gregory mentions that the dwarf planet Homier is also in the sign of Libra and says that Goddess is linked to regeneration...which brings in an interesting layer of conversation between the planets. Venus is now direct in Gemini. In fact, all three personal planets, Venus, Mars and Mercury are direct so we may make headway in our personal lives. All three are in the same signs that they were in during the previous Moon cycle. So, again, not much new energy. This is the second Cancer New Moon in a row. That makes sense because it feels as though it's a continuation energetically of the last cycle. We also have Comet Neowise visible in the night sky. I'm popping a link to Acuyta Bhava-Das video on the astrology of this comet below. The really interesting thing is that Neowise appeared on the Summer Solstice (it's 'chart of origin' literally being the last New Moon in Cancer) when we had the Solar Eclipse. Comets are generally associated with catastrophe and plague. Acuyta Bhava Das and David Palmer the Leo King both pointed out that it's also connected the fall of empires and rulers. If I were to sum up the energy of this New Moon as Mars taking the reigns of the Conscious (Sun)/Subconscious(Moon) of individuals and Death(Pluto)/Time(Saturn) heading for Negotiation(Hera) and Regeneration(Homier). Yet, the promise (the comet safely passing) that this is the will of the Creator and not a catastrophic end.

Grouse represents the Sacred Spiral. This animal reminds us that even as we are "carrying water and chopping wood" as the Buddhists say, we must remember life is a sacred dance. Grouse dances in a spiral. Many indigenous tribes hold the belief that the universe was danced into existence by the Creator. We are dancing with the Great Spirit. Every time we interact with any Physical Material Reality object we are participating in that dance. While this world may not be all rainbows and magical fairy dust...it was created specifically for us and every other form of life. The sacred spiral reminds us that everything is sacred. Source: Sams, Jamie & Carson, David. (1999) Medicine Cards. The Stones I was inspired to go with luminescent stones. I wanted to provide a balanced masculine and feminine energy as a continuation from the last cycle. To honor that this is a new cycle...despite very similar energies...I wanted to go with a different set. I also went with smaller stones. The stones I was initially drawn toward happened to have a luminescence. First, there are four Peridot chip stones. Peridot is a wonderful heart chakra stone of transformation, healing and manifestation. I love green stones because they always invoke the feeling of life and growth. I have a Milky white Moonstone Generator at the center of my grid. Milky white moonstone activates the crown chakra heightening the connection to the Creator. I have a Blue Moonstone that activates the throat chakra encouraging clear communication. A Peach Moonstone to activate the Sacral chakra. This is a powerful Shadow Work Healer as we tend to carry teenage trauma in our Sacral. I have a piece of Carnelian which goes with the Indigenous Moon. This helps boost vitality so we can really tap into the energy Mars and Eris are providing in Aries. This is also a Sacral Chakra stone too. I have a Quartz slice charging plate under them to really enhance their dreamy energy. Finally, I have a gorgeous piece of Brecciated Red Jasper. I love this one because you can really see the gaps that have been filled. As the Phoenix stone it helps heal things that have been broken open. This is a root chakra stone...and I don't know about you but I feel as though this year has broken open a lot of old wounds that are in need of healing...and perhaps humanities biggest wound that needed to be healed. The Moonstones are a nod to our Moon, a symbol of the feminine and subconscious, in her own sign. The Carnelian and the brecciated Red Jasper are to honor the Suns, the firey masculine conscious energy that is heading into it's own house (Leo). I'm using a Lady of The Lake intention candle for this ceremony. The sign of Cancer is the Cardinal Water sign. This candle is infused with amber, tea leaf, osmosis and ferns essential oils, and a clear quartz chip. I also love that she is offering a sword (representative of the Element of Air and Thoughts/Ideas) which ties in with the Hebrew word for this New Moon. I'll be anointing my stones with the Water essential oil that includes lotus, bergamot and lily. I will be using First Rain incense stick in recognition of the astrological house hosting this New Moon. In honor of the Medicine Moon I will be offering a cup of Raspberry Tea. The Medicine Moon This is Hot Winds Moon. The theme is to reach deep within for resources. This is consided a difficult full Moon as many plants tend to wither under the extreme heat of the sun. The stone is Carnelian. The plant is Raspberry and represents finding the "sweetness of life even among the thorns." Source: Callahan, Kathy. (2010) The Path Of The Medicine Wheel The Hebrew Letter Is Zain Zain is associated with the sense of smell. This Hebrew letter starts the Hebrew words for Time and Memory. (Interesting given that the New Moon is exactly opposite Saturn a.k.a. Chronos/Time!) "We typically move through normal waking life in a state of spiritual amnesia." Pg 40 Zain represents awakening from that spiritual amnesia because it holds within it the memory of the Creator. Hoffman, Edward. (1998) The Hebrew Alphabet : A Mystical Journey The Tarot Card Is The Lovers This is the "Disposing Intelligence" because we 'cut away' what no longer serves us. This card is typically associated with Gemini. The Lover's represents an even exchange between the masculine and feminine. This symbolically represents the Alchemical marriage. When our masculine (active energy- associated with prayer and pursuing goals) and feminine energy (receptive energy associated with meditation) are in balance we can communicate properly- not only in our interior dialogue but with the outer world and Spirit. "Zain, (the Hebrew letter of this Tarot Card) is a sword...sword of discernment...difficult to apply." "In the construction of the Tree of Life, Beauty is the center of...(the tree if life). This means the sword of air (conscious thoughts/words/inner dialogue) is placed here. The sword has two uses. First, it delineates and discernment among the different parts. Then it actually cuts out what you want..."ph 173 Lotterhead goes on to explain the sense of Smell associated with Zain as, "...a male monarch can smell his lady love a mile away." The feminine is the soul in esoteric Tarot. In other words, our conscious mind is capable of 'smelling' the soul. This reminds me of a teaching that John Van Auken includes in his Book Ancient Egyptian Mysticism: "Our Jackals have the ability, the power, to pick up the scent of the path we have taken and lead us back through the darkness to home again." The Jackal represents the lower "desire self" and acts primarily out of instinct. This is the "animal soul" in the Hebrew tradition. Yet, it has the ability to "smell" the way back to our spiritual home or what people in the spiritual community refer to as "being in alignment." Sources: Lotterhand, Jason. (1989) The Thursday Night Tarot. Auken, John. () Ancient Egyptian Mysticisim. Personally I love Grouse medicine but it's kind of a red flag for me. When I pull Grouse it usually means crazy visions. Already, I can tell you my energy dropped below normal and I've had potent dreams including a Past Life Memory that smacked me in the face. In fact, that Past Life Memory triggered an entire blog called "Meditations On The Pause" which will be posted this coming Saturday (July 25th). I know when I see that when I see the Grouse Medicene Card I need to go into a meditative receptive state soon enough. Unfortunately, I didn't heed that warning and energetically feel as though I slammed into a brick wall. This New Moon is opposite my Natal Moon...and really, a lot of energy in my chart is being triggered because I have Saturn/Pluto in Libra which is in Opposition to Mars/Chiron/Eris at the moment. The last transit was not this hard for me...but I know the warning signs. This one may rock my world a bit...not that I need any more identity transformation (Capricorn is my First House of Identity) and don't even get me started about how my subconscious has been illuminated (my 12 House and also the location of my natal Sun). I also had a dream where I was literally told to, "Receive." So, yeah, I hear you Spirit...receptive mode initiated! To go into receptive mode, I do something most people would think would be the opposite. I close all of my chakras. I do this by envisioning each chakra as a flower that, much like a Tulip that closes at night, curls up into a tight bud to wait for the sunlight. I go through more than the traditional seven...based on where I feel my energy is open and flowing outward. I cut off all outward flowing energy (except what I give to my daughter/husband). What this does is cause the energy to flow inward. I withdraw into myself...and keep in mind that the Spark of the Creator is within...not without. Turning within doesn't mean your cutting yourself off from Source...it's a little like turning yourself into a seed that's maturing in the womb of Mother Earth receiving nutrients and it nurtures that Spark of the Creator that resides within. Resting in this inward state can be very blissful and it's my normal mode of operation. I am such an introvert! A couple of things that I noted in the last cycle that were funny: When Venus went direct I pretty much stopped the work out routine I had taken up almost as soon as it went retrograde. I was a little obsessive over it...I was even working out on the weekends...and I didn't consciously mean to stop but other items cropped up so I didn't have enough time to continue to do the workout. When Mercury went direct I knocked out many of the major items on my to-do-list in rapid fire succession. This is a little worrisome as I'm not sure what I'm going to do to occupy my time (aside with playing/teaching my daughter) the rest of the year. With so many personal goals that had been "stuck" for years accomplished in two weeks I'm a little mentally staggered. Conclusion Being only two days away from this New Moon and having a rough time with it...I am not exactly excited about this next cycle. I am beyond reading for this year to be over...and we still have a lot of it left! Not to mention major emotional events such as the Presidential Election (which is a humdinger as this has been the most bizarre presidential 'race' ever!). Usually, for me, when June hit's...time flies through the rest of the year as I turn my attention to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I kind of see it like the decline of a roller coaster. I'm hoping that happens this year...I have everything planned out so I can stay within this receptive energy and just flow with it! Time has really seemed to crawl at certain points this year- since April it seems I've been staring at the Calendar just as I did when I was a kid thinking, "Gosh, this month isn't over yet?!" I really enjoyed this book.
I can't recommend it to everyone...and it is one of those diversions on the Path of the Seeker. I bought this book a couple of years ago and it's one that I put down, then picked up and then put down again. A lot of the passages require meditation to really understand them. That said, this book is part of a small collection that appeals to a small group of people. I think those looking to learn more about the Dogon religion will enjoy it. I honestly thought it was awesome to hear a woman's perspective. I loved that she came to many of the same conclusions that I did when reading the Pale Fox and her elaborations when it comes to the second book by Griaule that I have not read called Conversations With Ogotemmeli. The writing is tedious at times. Shannon Dorey has the tendency to repeat the same phrase, sometimes in the same paragraph, several times. The good news is, you end up memorizing several parts of the religion. The bad thing is that I often would skip paragraphs assuming that the author was again restating a conclusion in a new way only to find out there was a small nugget of information in there that I needed to understand in order to comprhend the next paragraph. The other thing that detracted from the rest of her studies is the fact that (like so many people) she has a very literal perspective. I found the chapter where she explained the physical description of the Nummo painful to read. The main reason that this chapter was painful and cast doubt on Shannon's work is because in the book Pale Fox it is stated flat out that the Nummo were none physical. The image of something that looked between a mix of alligator and sloth riding around on a roller skate...well, it that's just an absurd image. Since she presents that as the central argument for the idea that the Nummo are a real force...it really undermines her credibility. The fact she always injects the female pronoun into every quote and reference to the Nummo can be annoying too. She already established (as has everyone else) that the Nummo contained both genders. She establishes that it's implied even when the terms 'he' or 'she' are used. Repeating that throughout the book and quotes can be distracting to the reader and also suggests that the reader is too dumb to realize that 'he' and 'she' are just a placeholder since a more appropriate term does not exist. Also a bit tiresome is the numerous chapters where she equates well known Greek and Roman myths with the different characters in Dogon mythology.That's not because it's not valuable information...but her writing style makes it a bit muddy. The information is a bit repetitive and, at times, confusing. She will often refer to different myths of very different cultures in the same paragraph. Sometimes this is foreshadowing of a future chapter but it can be jarring when trying to follow the logic of her argument regarding a specific myth. However, she presents information and perspectives that are unique and incredibly valuable. In particular, she has as chapter that pretty much explains Shadow Work. She has another chapter on dreams that is totally amazing too. I find these topics as she presents them of such value that I am going to cover those ideas specifically in different blogs. These are topics I can never see Laird Scranton covering. Finally, she does establish a very specific set of symbols for the Jackal, the Nummo, the Master/Mistress of Speech and that is super helpful. Conclusion Shannon Dorey didn't have to convince me that the Dogon mythology represents the 'mother' religion of all religions because Laird Scranton has established that beyond a shadow of a doubt. She also doesn't have to convince me that most of this information applies on a microscopic level either...because, again Laird Scranton proves the same points (hence why I bought this book opposed to her first book that focused on that topic). What she does do exceptionally well is look at the bigger picture. Her identification of specific symbols is invaluable. Her real strength is when she examines non-physical concepts. While she doesn't zoom out completely and fails to include the soul in her interpretation...most authors fail to do that one. At the end of the day this book is for people dedicated to understanding the Dogon religion. Other people will become frustrated by the writing and be deterred by the focus on the physical. I, however, do think it is of immense value and I will probably buy her book Day Of The Fish sometime in the future. The other well known, and I will say one of my most beloved authors, Laird Scranton doesn't explore these 'softer' themes. So, it's nice to come across them. Collecting different types of Moonstones is one of my weaknesses! Luckily, Moonstone is a very affordable stone. Right now Sage Goddess is selling Peach Moonstone for around $1 each.
Moonstone is a powerful stone for Shadow Work! This beautiful peace is fascinating. Moonstone is great to meditate with because you can become lost looking for all of the bits of luminescence. No two pieces of Moonstone are alike. In total there are 7 different types of Moonstone and the reflecting bit is called adularescence which is unique! Moonstone helps you tap into those powers of the Moon- the subconscious with all of it's extrasensory emotional depth. Naturally, this helps you to tap into the Feminine Goddess energy...that is the Receptive Energy of the Creator...in order for anything to be created/planted there must be a receptive energy. Pieces of wood, for example, must be receptive to being shaped by a carpenter before a chair can be created. For women it an aid with the natural feminine cycle that often coincides with the moon's phases. Peach Moonstone resonates with the Sacral Chakra where most of us experienced wounds during our teenage years. This stone can help you clear away all of those feelings of being misunderstood, taken for granted or left out. Below you'll find two more pictures of Moonstone because it looks so different from every angle. Not only that but it changes dramatically with and without light! When you add light what seems like a mildly interesting angle of the rock become super interesting. I can tell you from my own experience Rock Hounding on my own claims (someday I'll share some of the pieces I've harvested myself- I got a rock tumbler for Christmas and I'm still dialing in how to make the rocks are smooth and pretty!) that this would be an easy stone to miss because without the light hitting it a specific way it doesn't look all that interesting!
From now on I'll do a Full Moom meditation post since that seems more appropriate.
The Full Moon is the culmination point of a lunar cycle. At that point we can give thanks for what we have experienced and learned. The energy is very Yin and meditative. This Full Moon what I noticed the most was the appropriate Medicene Card. Ant had a very strong presence in my life over the last three weeks. As we head into the Dark Moon Phase I can see how this Medicene played out. From Ants invading my kitchen, then my upstairs bathroom to seeing them explore the splash pad I bought to play in on the 4th of July I saw these creative Creatures. Taken individually Ant is not very powerful. As the video of the Ants forming a bridge by linking together shows...when Ant works together as a unit they are powerful. Group Think They do have a Hive Mind which is Group Think. An individual life doesn't matter. All that matters is the nests survival. Group Think has been strong all year. The Coronavirus hysteria is an example of Group Think on a world wide level. This month the Group Think took another fascinating turn. As the deaths from Coronavirus dropped to the point where it barely meets the criteria for a pandemic the Media conveniently stopped sharing the deaths caused by the Coronavirus. As testing increases and extremely strict work place methods require a person to be tested for the slightest fever...more people and particularly in their thirties are being diagnosed. CNN declares that, "Every diagnosis is a tragedy." Even Trump has chimed in with the Group Think saying we are going to "annihilate" the virus. Gone is the "flatten the curve" concept since that was easily achieved. Now they want to stomp out the virus completely which is as insane as trying to destroy the flu. Now it's hysteria for every case...even though majority of those cases are asymptomatic. At this point in our nation Coronavirus seems to have become more of a political tool for the most boring and weird presidential race that I can recall. I'm betting Biden won't debate Trump in person. They've agreed to three debates but with only four months left it seems unlikely. At the same time I bought different face coverings for the whole family. I prefer the neck gaiter. My husband has a fabric mask. I bought two masks for my daughter but she's going to turn two next month and won't keep them on. On the one hand, we could look at the world as one big masquerade ball for a bit. Masks can be a kind of cute accessory. On the other hand they don't prevent people from getting viruses. A virus, especially an airborne one like Coronavirus can go right through the mask. The World Health Organization still discourages wearing a mask and even Fauci admitted it's a "symbol of respect" instead of an effective health measure. In a way it's like wearing the Nazi swastika in Hitler's Germany because not wearing one can get you kicked out of a business including a grocery store. I've known people who caught Coronavirus and it turns out that it's mild. A slight headache and a little bodily discomfort for three days. Most people could take an asprin and not even realize they have it. A lot of the healthy adults who caught it had worse experiences with the common flu. Micro-Aggression Changes As groups pulled down and destroyed statues that ranged from Confederate leaders to Popes the concept of micro-aggression caught momentum. The real changes are coming from companies and corporations that are using it as a form of free advertising...kind of like shampoo bottles advertise that there bottles are 75% recycled as a selling point. I found the stories of makeup companies removing the description "whitening" from labels to Disneyland agreeing to re-theme Splash Mountain interesting (I always found Splash Mointain creepy). All of the tiny little changes didn't seem like a big deal. They seem like a bunch of PR moves. Yet, when I was watching a video from Andre over at Black Nerd Comedy it struck how much this is Ant Medicine at work. Unfortunately, it looks like Andre removed the video. That is really unfortunate. All these tiny changes are like drops in the ocean that are forming a Tidal Wave. Big change can consist of little tiny course corrections. I've seen that in my Spiritual Path...to go from the non-tolerant Born Again Christian perspective as a teenager in the '90's to the forgiving All-Inclusive spiritual perspective that I have now consisted of a very gradual series of tiny changes. The multitude of changes that we are seeing in the wake of George Floyd's death have been rapid. While it won't wipe away the memory of these micro-aggression in the minds of adults...the world of the newest generation will not have them. That is definitely Ant Medicine at work.
A Grand Cardinal Cross
I'm surprised most astrologers missed this one. Only two of the five astrologers that I watch noticed this one...and only Anastasia took in the *Entire* picture when it comes to this Lunar Full Moon Eclipse energy. Coyote Star explained that there were three parts of a Cardinal Cross but that the 'table was a bit wobbly.' Both of these astrologers posted their video on the 3rd. Anastasia had hinted that she might not make one because the heavy energy has been hard for her to process. Anastasia, however, includes the asteroid Goddesses and Eris. I think that's really important. We can go into a debate about that...people like Acuyta Bhava Das and David Palmer don't regularly include the asteroid Goddesses. Acuyta-Bhava-Das, however, sticks to Helenistic Astrology. Both could be consider 'classical' astrology. Acuyta calls what he practices Ancient Astrology but it means he emphasizes the 7 planets that can be seen with the naked eye and there was plenty of astrology before 323-30 BC. I don't consider things that are around 2000 years old as ancient when Gobekli Tepe, which is astrologically aligned, dates to 9000Bc...or roughly 11,000 years ago. David Palmer tends to stick to the 1900's pre-asteroids and Eris astrology. Either way, what is interesting is that there was a Grand Cardinal Cross in the chart for this Full Moon. If we re-oriented the chart so that the chart was in alignment with the Cardinal Cross it shows a very interesting story. On the Ascendant was Chiron the Wounded Healer. On the Midheaven was the Sun Conjunct Vesta. On the Descendant was the Goddess Asteroid Hera. Finally, in the Nadir (underworld) was the Moon along with Athena, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. A Cardinal Cross is an initiating energy. Remember, during the Solar Eclipse there was a flash of Insight and a seed was planted symbolized by a literal bolt of lightning hitting the Washington Monument. On the 'future' horizon of the Ascendant is Chiron the Wounded Healer. He's here to teach us how to heal those old wounds (I've had this confirmed in dreams prior to coming across this information). The Sun and Vesta- who represents the heart- are the ones at full power at the moment. On the Descendant is Hera who doesn't stand in her own power but was granted power through her negotiated marriage to Zeus. Collette Baron Reid boils Hera's symology to the words Networking. So, Networking is going out of fashion here...those networks of people who have worked so hard to stay in power are losing their power. Even more fascinating is the Nadir which is the Moon...the Subconscious is what's being released which leads to a even bigger topic but, in essence, suggests the Awakening. We may be looking at the chart that really symbolizes that the Dawning of a New Age is here. The very old wound of Separation from Collective Consciousness and the Creator is being healed. This is the show that everyone is here to witness and see.

The Chariot- Time To Move On
I've suffered a thousand cuts...a thousand wounds in this life. If I listed everything I went through it would fill a book and be a depressing story. I've listed some of what I've gone through in previous 'About Me' blogs. I was absolutely delighted when Athena brought up the Chariot in this Full Moon in Capricorn Lunar Eclipse was about moving forward. (I actually bought the kit for this Full Moon Ceremony and in an upcoming blog I'll do a review and explanation of why it was so symbolic for me.) I never thought of the Chariot as representing "Time To Move On." Once the Wound is named it's time to move on and change the narrative. Time for that story to come to an end forever. The story that's coming to an end is Separation. Seperation from Source and from each other. What was fascinating for me was that the Washington D.C. fireworks show was actually done around the Washington Monument. The same Monument that was struck by lightening during the New Moon Solar Eclipse was surrounded by exploding light as though that inspiration was being distributed. You'll find that video below.
My Capricorn Eclipse Experience
The eclipse straddled July 4th and lasted into my Birthday on the 5th. As I shared I was born during a Capricorn Lunar Eclipse. Numerous 4th of the July celebrations were cancelled because of Coronavirus. The fireworks display in Big Bear California, where I lived for five years, was canceled. Before sundown I watched a Disney World Fan Channel called Resort TV that was sharing a love feed of pre-recorded Disney Fireworks hit over 9,000 watching...their highest record ever because so many couldn't watch fireworks in person. After a fun day splashing around with my daughter on a splash pad and celebrating my Birthday (so my husband could do housework uninterrupted on my actual birthday) my daughter had a melt down just as fireworks went off in our neighborhood so we had to put her to bed and my husband went to bed too. I stayed up and I was so grateful that my neighbors go all out for the 4th of July. This year there were far more than ever before and it seems more intense. They fired off huge fireworks that rival Disneyland. I would say that the fireworks are better than Disneyland but they lack the music. A police helicopter tried to intimidate people firing illegal fireworks as the sun set but they were so numerous that it became dangerous for it to fly in the neighborhood. Then a SWAT truck with lights off went through the neighborhood. Once it was safely gone the neighbors who'd booked it inside when they saw it brought out their fireworks again and one of them must have fired forty in a rapid fire display to spite the cops. I snuck out of bed to see the Lunar Eclipse, by that time most of the fireworks were over, but it was pretty faint and my telescope wasn't out. Still, I can say I saw a Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn just like the one I was born during. I was so tired leading up to the Full Moon and after I didn't really remember my dreams. I kind of remember something about working with broken/disjointed energy. In another dream I saw my Grandmother Alta and told her that I didn't think I was very, "...good at this life thing." Still this recent Eclipse Sandwich went a lot smoother then the one earlier this year. I realized that humanity has a lot of dumb rules. From someone calling to report someone attempting to use a fake $20 and four police officers responding to trying to prevent people from celebrating 4th of July- either by cancelling government public celebrations- or outlawing people from using certain fireworks...are just bunk. There are a lot of really dumb rules that humanity lives by....and I was raised by parents that were really strict and said, "No!" a lot. I stayed in my room because I couldn't do a lot of things outside of my room. There were literally rooms in one of our house, a formal living room and dining room, into which I was allowed to walk. I've realized the reason for their rules was mostly selfishness. I have a selfish hypocritical husband who doesn't live by his own rules when it comes to diet or spending because they're too harsh. As I've walked my Spiritual Path I have stripped back those rules. I've learned a lot of them are nonsense. As I've shared elsewhere I was afraid to leave my house at one point. I was so afraid of doing things wrong that it has really inhibited me from doing things I would have loved. As I peeled back all of the limiting rules in my life (Saturn rules my birth chart) I found liberation. I think that humanity might be at the point where they are going to release the shackles of all of of these rules. The government has overstepped itself with this lockdown and these masks. The government is often wrong about things and especially when it comes to projections. They also predicted a job shortage in the early 2000's. United States citizens should have been given a premium for doing skilled jobs and even those without a college education should have been competitive in the job market. Instead, they let in a lot of legal and illegal immigrants which flooded the market- particularly the ranks of the uneducated unskilled lower income bracket- to where it's difficult to get a job on any level of the market. The government's failed strategy is 100% why we had the recession and may go into a depression if a Democrat is elected this Fall (I am a Libretarian, I don't like either political party and believe that the other parties that run for the Presidency should be covered by the media). We really need to send a message to the Government that we want Less Laws- not less Police Officers. The people calling for defunding the police are blaming the wrong group. The problem is the Government Officials (the city, county, state legislatures, the House of Representatives and the Senate) who create the ridiculous Laws not the people trying to make a living by enforcing those laws. Energetically, I feel a bit hung over from this Eclipse Sandwich. Conclusion There are a lot of small changes occurring in the world right now. The small changes will add up. As Molly McCord has said several times in her podcasts we won't understand all of the changes taken place until 2021. Next year will be a very different experience. For one, if Biden wins we will absolutely go into a recession and maybe a depression. If Trump wins I think the unrest and resistance will escalate. I can't claim to be excited by either of those outcomes. Hopefully, the Coronavirus will no longer be an issue but that may depend on which person wins the Presidency. People like Pelosi have made it clear they can smell blood it the water and like a hungry shark if she can get her wish list of self-serving bills passed (including something called S.A.L.T. that directly affects how much taxes she pays for her multiple companies and land) they will rape the liberties of United Citizens under the banner of saving people from Coronavirus. Right now, I'm mostly focused on and excited that Disney World opened on the auspicious date of 7/7 because it's given me hope. That was when the cast members went to the park as a preview of how the new system will work. I think it looked awesome. A lot of new rules but if that's what it takes for the Union and State Governments to allow the theme park to re-open...that's what it takes. If Disneyland reopens this year I'm absolutely going. My Grandpa was one of those who attended Disneyland on it's opening day. My family used to go every year because a close family friend of my Grandfather who worked there since opening day would let us in for free. In the first ten years of my life when my family was extremely poor that was such a huge blessing! I had an annual pass for at least five years and it was my sanctuary. So for me the place represents far more than a corporation. I love Kambaba Jasper!
This is a somewhat rare and hard to find gem. On average small pieces run about $8 a stone and you can expect to spend closer to $20 for a stone that's over an inch. To me that's expensive for a rock. Kambaba Jasper only comes from Madagascar. The orb shapes are from stromatolites- ancient fossilized algae! Technically that means this stone is a fossil which I love. The first time I saw this stone was on Lune Innate's channel. I thought this stone simply looked magical with it's dark green swirls. To me it reminds me of the atmosphere of an alien planet. This is a heart chakra stone that is perfect for someone who's facing adversity. I wish I had carried it when I worked in the Customer Service industry because it has a fierce protective energy. This will give anyone who is going into a tough situation the courage to fall back upon. This is the perfect stone to take into a job interview, for example, or a first date (tucked into your pocket). Rumor is that this is the stone that Shaman's prefer to use. Sage Goddess says that this is the stone of the warrior and that it is a very masculine stone. This stone definitely has that energy. The Essential Guide To Crystals, Minerals and Stones by Margaret Ann Lembo says this is a stone for soothing your nerves. I think that soothing comes from the fierce protective nature of this stone. Astrologically this is a good stone for now with it's fierce yang energy. The two most masculine planets are in their home signs. Saturn is in Capricorn and Mars is in Aries. Saturn in a person's chart literally represents their relationship with their father...I don't think anything is more masculine then Father energy. I'm writing this on Mother's Day weekend but this won't be posted on my blog until July 4th.
I've noticed the number of views on this blog have dramatically decreased. I find that very interesting. Meanwhile, I've been mentioned in more Academic papers posted to a Academia.edu. How interesting that the type of people come across this has changed so much...of course, many say the blog is a dead art form. There has been a major shift in my thinking and this blog is just stream of consciousness. If it feels as though it's a bit all over the place that would be the reason why. In a previous blog I shared with you some dreams that I had about personal development. One of those dreams was about Non-Judgement. When faced with a situation calling for Judgement my mind just flashes to the thought, "Everyone makes mistakes." That really suggests that if I were to judge someone else for making a mistake that I would have to judge myself just as harshly. As soon as I hit that epiphany and owned it things became a lot smoother in my relationships. That was probably one of the hardest lessons I've learned because I usually don't make mistakes. I have lived a very careful restrained life out of the desire to keep things simple and 'correct.' I used to be very opinionated and judgmental- both of my parents are Air Signs and both judge everything 'good or bad.' This year is literally driving them insane even though they are knowingly addicted to the news. Granted, my life is not as simple as possible. I could have a lot fewer possessions, for example, but I've really let go of all desire for community and friends. I don't care about all of that anymore. Too much drama comes along with those interactions. What I didn't share is that I had a dream where I sat down a High Priestess Crown and I told my Higher Self, "I don't want to do this anymore." I was told, however, that I had to make one more judgement. I didn't know what that meant in that dream but we just had a Full Moon in Scorpio and judgement came up a lot. The Judgement card in the Tarot Deck is associated with Scorpio (have I mentioned how much I love Granny Rainbow's book High school Astrology? She includes the tarot card assosciated with every astrological symbol!) and I have Jupiter in Scorpio. Ultimately, that judgement was my choice to be an optimist about the Coronavirus. I was shocked my Spirit Guides literally celebrated that choice with me. Since then my dreams have taken on a very different tone...in one I was called back to an old job that I didn't like...in another I went to a wedding for people I didn't like but I had the opportunity to say goodbye to them. I know, deep down that I am in a new place on a Spiritual Level. Working With The Creator My focus has shifted from searching for to working with the Creator through astrology and ritual. I don't believe the Creator is consciously involved in this world. I don't believe the Creator is the one that is arranging for you to get that job or saving you from a big car accident by causing you to make a wrong turn. That is the role of the Son but not the Creator. Knowing that has brought me a lot of peace. The Hindu, Jewish Kabbalah, Buddhist, Chinese Cosmology and the Dogon religiog are in agreement with this...not to mention Thomas Campbell's My Big Toe. I will eventually write a college worthy paper on the subject. The astrological forces represent the will of the Creator and by studying with them we can start to work with them. The more in tune I become with matching my will with the Creators the easier my life has become. I know that Athena Perkins uses the New Moon and Full Moon energies to set her intentions and then to be thankful for them...and that's beautiful. Yet, I have decided to move way from that concept. Instead, I use it as a way to contemplate the Larger Conscious System or Great Spirit...both are beautiful ways to describe that living consciousness that you, the stars, and I consist of that are the part of the One Creator we have access to in physical material reality. I would never imagine myself saying that I use astrology and ritual to reflect the will of the Creator in my own life and my willingness to match the energy of the One Creator. That was not even on my radar when I started to search for answers in the Nineties. Most of the spiritual material that I have come across are mistaken in believing that something else can do the 'Work' for you. When I say work I simply mean personal development and evolution. In fact, the Catholic Church and it's offspring all promote being Childlike Immaturity...which is an error. Peace doesn't come from other people 'saving you' but coming to accept why things happen. That's shy so many are fixated on the 'Return' of something that will 'fix' the Earth. With the heavy born again Christian phase I went through as a teenager I can really see how fear affected and warped my perceptions. I was afraid of Astrology...because I didn't understand it. I was afraid of ritual- even though Church is one big ritual and the Catholics are the masters of ritual- because I didn't understand it either. I thought both were selfish means to try to create an outcome in the world. There are certainly people who do try to manipulate the energies to create the outcome that they want instead of surrendering to the Divine Will. I see that as an act of futility but Free Will is a blessing. Those people will just slow down their personal growth but that is their choice. I also don't use Astrology for Fortune Telling. I use it to deepen my relationship with the Creator. In fact, I don't like Fortune Telling at all...whether it's a Pick-A-Card or someone using the Tarot for a quick reading. Sometimes they have deep meaning...if you're really lost on your path they an help...but people get addicted to them. There is a place for that with people who are hopeless (which denotes a lack of faith, which I was once guilty of) or have a weak sense of self (which I was guilty of, mind you). Once you develop that sense of self to the point where you can float in the Sea of Unity with ease at the same time...comprehending that you are One but also One With The Creator...none of the day-to-day activities matter as much. They are really just chores. I really don't care to know what chores I'm going to be doing five or ten years from now. I like living in the moment. Some people use astrology for self-gratification- I can clearly see how it can be used to match our energy and frequency to create mutual reception with the One Creator. Those are people who are looking for demonstrations of the Creator's Will because they really don't have faith. Look at how Nature creates some of the most astounding and beautiful patterns. What better pattern to emulate in our own life to create lower entropy (chaos) within our minds? Chaos happens in our minds when our thoughts are out of control. Mostly, our thoughts are controlled by Desire. We think about how the chair we are sitting on is too hard, how the temperature isn't right, what we plan on doing tomorrow, what we plan on having for dinner and our level is usually affected by how safe we feel. When we don't feel safe we usually desire more things...as the Coronavirus showed the first people thing did was over buy toilet paper and food with complete disregard for others. All of those thoughts arise from our desires. The Chaos is magnified if we are in a situation we don't like. The Coronavirus Lockdown is a good example. I don't think anyone likes the experience of not being able to leave our homes because of fear. I kind of feel like the entire world experienced Agoraphobia...the fear of leaving the house. We were told to be good little soldiers and do our part for our country (CNN literally said that in an article!). I've been through that on a personal level so it doesn't phase me at all...but it does feel as though the entire world is going through what I experienced in 2015 after Lilith-Ann died...with the Grief and Agoraphobia. Mostly, I'm just amazed by the deep peace that I feel and I'm excited to study every New and Full Moon so I can reflect the energy back to the One Creator. I think it's beautiful to have the opportunity to interact with the One Creator consciously. I think of it like my dreams. When I first started working with my dreams people couldn't speak to me. I'd see their mouths open but I couldn't hear them. Soon, however, I learned not to 'hear' with my ears in dreams but to read minds. I don't see people in dreams and talk to them but I 'download' things when I look at them...basically it's telepathy. The initiation dream with the words on the screws (In No Cent and Accept The Bull) was an anamole. That was the first time I had seen writing. Recently I saw an entire sentence emblazoned on a stone and I read it. Reading, just like talking to people telepathically, has become common in my dreams. I feel as though my dreams consist of interacting with a consciousness system. As we grow to know one another the conversation and depth of the dreams have changed significantly. In particular, I'm aware that the character's I encounter don't matter as much...it's like interacting with NPC's in a computer game. They really represent the system itself...the LCS. Yet, everything I interact with in dream time is a communication from the LCS...because every object has a meaning. I recently dreamed that I had to wash dishes, for example, which is a first. They weren't my dishes but someone else's. Yet, I knew that it was an important task and symbolized something I needed to do in real life. Basically, I was cleaning up what other people had 'served' themselves. In other words, in my dream state my relationship and interaction with the LCS continues to evolve. There is nothing besides the LCS/Creator so there isn't really anything else to interact with. The less we are afraid of working with the Creator directly the clearer the communication becomes. Getting over that fear was a huge obstacle, I have to admit, but so worth it. After all, since we are One with the One Creator it's like fearing yourself. Which is just silly. Yet, religion teaches you to be scared of the Creator and that the only person that can interact with the Creator is an elite Priest...because you're not special enough. That's why ritual and astrology are 'wrong' because this false system suggesting you need an intermediary between yourself and the Creator because of the 'sin' made by Adam and Eve. What a self-defeating system! Of course, we have to feel that we are worthy before we can work with the One Creator. I think that's what the High Priestess phase of dreams I had (and no I won't be sharing them) meant. I was developing a sense of self-importance that needed to reach the level to where I realized it wasn't important. In a way, learning to work with the LCS/One Creator/God is like learning to work with yourself...or to work with your body. I know when I need to use the restroom, for example, I need to find a toilet. I know that when my stomach growls from hunger I should probably find some food. For me, in my life, there is nothing greater or more gratifying than to develop, deepen and work with the Creator. I love my family but even that pales in comparison to the excitement I feel about the relationship I have with the One Creator. They are aspects of the One Creator, and specifically ones that I am meant to interact with so they are important...but what I am talking about is deeper. You can only know other human beings on a superficial level...communication with the One Creator is far more intimate. I never even thought that was possible! The veil is not just something in our minds, when you think about it, there is a veil between us and those around us. We are limited in perceiving other people. I can only superficially perceive my husband based on interactions with him and the behavior that I witness. He can be (and I know this for a fact) a totally different person when around other people. His inner perception of himself is undoubtedly radically different then my perception of him. He's the central character in his own story but in my Life Story he just has a supporting role. So, there is very much a veil between us and other human beings. I think that even goes for our animals. I know my Dog Angel look at me as a loving provider, companion and food provider...she could sense my moods but not my specific thoughts. The amazing thing that has changed in my dream state is that now that the understanding is going both ways...I'm teaching character's in my dream things. I'm even taking them by surprise. Again, that's a new experience! I'm curious and excited about my new journey in consciousness. I may read books about the basic system as it was taught to the indigenous...and books on astrology. Yet, the rest isn't as interesting. What's funny is that I still have this built in response...I want to see the new Marvel movies even though I'm less excited about them. I still want to have that piece of pizza...even though I know it's a reflex of my conditioning. I still want to take my daughter to Disneyland... Yet, there is this 'need' for those things that's removed. I do them because that's the way one goes about life. We plan things and we have experiences. At the same time, I'm just as satisfied by the experience of using the computer or when meditating before bed. Yes, I meditate before bed and I have no trouble sleeping. I kind of envision it as hitting the reset button before going to sleep and wiping way the data from the day. In fact, the way I process my day is differently. I no longer review it and think of what I didn't get done or what I need to do tomorrow. I let experiences slide off of me. I enjoy it in the moment but I don't hold onto them or search for some deeper meaning or purpose. I used to be very past oriented. I'd go over the events from my past so many times trying to relive and make a different decision. Then I became a lot more future oriented planning events far in advance (I bought every present for this year in advance, for example). Now, I'm settling into the moment. I'm enjoying the moment...such as enjoying the feeling of running my fingers through my daughter's hair or really feeling the warmth from her fierce hugs (she gives THE best hugs ever!). Even listening to the different ASMR sounds or images....when you focus on really enjoying them they are very sweet. When focused on the next event, or dwelling on past failures...you miss out on the sweetness of the present moment. Well, this ends my little reflective study for today. I'm sending you infinite love and support. I can't wait to explore this new paradigm with you! |
