when words are not enough...

...you pass a bill to bring US troops home by September 2008--just in time for the 2008 prez election.

The war-funding bill passed a few minutes ago by a 218-212 vote. We'll see if this actually amounts to anything or is just the usual theater, dahling.

"The Secret" and the Minor Progressed Chart

According to the best-seller, The Secret, the Secret of Life is the law of attraction.

Astrologically we think of the planet Venus which describes what we attract and what we are attracted to. We may also think of jolly, expansive Jupiter, the generous side of God, Who wants us to experience the abundance of the universe, if we'll only accept it.

Yet as I read a summary of the principles from the book, it's like reading about Minor Progressions, the mental-causal plane info which may be gleaned concerning thoughts which are trying to bubble up from the Unconscious into consciousness and which create the future reality found eventually in the Secondary Progressions (physical plane.)

In The Secret, we discover that when you think a thought, you are attracting like thoughts to you. Thoughts are "magnetic" and have a frequency as your thoughts are sent out into the universe and magnetically attract all like things on the same frequency...frequency being an astrological term also.

Our solar system was created by sound waves (frequency--The Word) and which may be studied by way of Harmonics charts (one of my personal favorite branches of Astrology, btw.)

This reciprocity might be a point in favor of the validity of Astrology itself!

So if you want different things in your life, think different thoughts, says the book. (Doesn't this favor the classic, The Power of Positive Thinking, by Norman Vincent Peale?)

According to The Secret, your current thoughts are creating your future life...exactly what the Minor chart tells us. We have a thought, we have a feeling or intuition about the thought, then we act if we so choose. Your thoughts become things, says The Secret...prexactly and excisely!

Read my interview on Minor/Tertiary/Secondary charts, Political Astrology, and the 2007 Jupiter/Uranus square at Astrology Communications Media in the Season's Quarterly section for more info on Minor Progressions.

The Secret also asserts that what you think about the most or focus on the most will appear in your life. (As a man thinks, so he becomes--The Bible.)

Well, I'm glad so many people are reading this book, rehashed though I may perceive it to be, for we certainly need reminders of positive things these days, don't we?

As long as no one lets Bush, Cheney, Bush Sr, Kristol, and the rest of the 1% gang read it--they suffer from too much Jupiterian "positive" thinking already--much to the whole world's dismay with the negative consequences of their misdirected, ego-laden thinking.

Alex Flint

Last February Alex Flint left his job as the staff director for the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, where he played a key role in directing billions of subsidy dollars to the nuclear industry, to become the chief lobbyist for the Nuclear Energy Institute. This blatant conflict of interest is currently completely legal--surely in cases like this we should be able to call foul.

We need lobbying rules on Capitol Hill to prevent special access and undue influence that favors powerful interests. You can help now by asking Speaker Pelosi to make sure the house introduces strong lobby reform legislation that stops the most blatant abuses.

planetary emergency, says Gore

Gore Testifies Before Congress on global warming, and the House Judiciary Panel has approved subpoenas for Karl Rove and Harriet Miers. Good.

Bush mumbled something about fighting the subpoenas and their issuance causing a constitutional crisis. His entire term in office has been a constitutional crisis.

Busy first day of Spring on the Hill.
