    Something that doesn't preach spiritual bypassing and egolessness is indeed a gift.

    Beautiful! It has been a while since I have had the pleasure to sit with Robert and open to his teachings. I so appreciate the power of CZcams in making this archival experience accessible to all who would dare.

    Yes.. And here I am listening to yet more poetry reading on life with Robert Bly.. "The Meeting of a Literary Society" indeed.. Yes, "Every person is a religious person".. Yet what does this mean? While as a student of life & astrology etc I also turn to note the Sabian symbols for the Ascendant once again at this time, beginning at *11degSag.. IN THE LEFT SECTION OF AN ARCHAIC TEMPLE, A HUMAN BODY BURNS IN THE SHAPE OF A LAMP.. The value of the “return to the body“ advanced by modern thinkers in order to balance the stress on intellectuality & wit..
    This refers to the process of de-conditioning a Consciousness that has become a prisoner of intellectual concepts with their total reliance on "objectivity" & conformity to the "official patterns" of our Culture..
    While also having just moved from the previous degree, at *10degSag.. A THEATRICAL REPRESENTATION OF A GOLDEN HAIRED GODDESS OF OPPORTUNITY.. Society‘s efforts at dramatising the greatness of what it offers to the ambitious person..
    While also moving towards the next degree, at *12degSag.. A FLAG TURNS INTO AN EAGLE; THE EAGLE INTO A CHANTICLEER SALUTING THE DAWN.. The Spiritualisation & promotion of great symbols of a New Age by minds sensitive to their precursory manifestations..
    The American nation & its basic democratic institutions were constituted to be the cradle for a new step in human evolution. The "Flag" is the abstract symbol of the nation; it becomes an Eagle.. The "Eagle" symbolises the Spiritual will & the power to rise to the highest possible altitude of Consciousness & purpose..
    The keyword might be ANNUNCIATION.....
    **All this with *the Sagittarius Ascendant.. in my 8th house.. closely trine the midpoint of my *Sol-Arc Pallas in Aries along with *Uranus® in Aries.. in my 12th house.. while all also forming a ‘grand fire trine’ with my *prog Venus-Mercury in Leo.. in my 4th house.. while.....
    Sabian Symbols from Dane Rudhyar's book 'An Astrological Mandala: The Cycle of Transformation & Its 360 Symbolic Phases'....

    Let's see... "too old for that shit" - making fun of Jesus, that is. Then, someone trespasses on your grandiosity, you kill him, same with the guy who compliments you too much. Ah, *there* is the mockery of Jesus. Who said "Rebuke him, and if he repent, forgive him"? I believe he is reported to have said "do that 77 times if necessary." You skipped over the rebuke and repentance to the "off with his head." Grandiosity!
