A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM ASCORDIA CHANNELED BY AMY BORTNER
This is Ascordia speaking. For those of you who have not made their acquaintance with me, let me say to you Welcome! and welcome to the Ascordia Center. For I, Ascordia Shamalia, am an angelic being who has been assigned to create upon the earth plane, a center of light for individuals to come to for solace, for good keeping, for enlightenment and (for as you say), "good vibrations"! I am an angel of a certain kind, of a certain order. For you see, in the world of Angeldom, shall I say it, there are levels or orders of angel who devote themselves to service of a certain kind. The Seraphim, then, are an order of Angel commissioned to be of service particularly to human kind, particularly at this time, to the planet Earth. And that within this order of Seraphim, there are genera or species of Angel who take on specific and focused activity.
I am called a Supreme Seraphim and it is within my jurisdiction, then, to work largely independently from other angels. We, as you know, more often than not, work in pairs, but I have been granted the most unusual status of working alone and working in tandem, then, with other beings other than angels. You may be familiar with the great ascended being Daniel, with whom I am in constant communication and with whom you may have had the pleasure of meeting in other times. Daniel and I form a pair or pairing of beings to allow, then, for the production here of the center and of the development of a general community of individuals devoted to spreading the light (as you understand it). It gives me great pleasure, then, to work in this fashion for it is most unusual, most unique, most eccentric.
We wish to express to you (human beings) our sincere desire to understand human consciousness in all of its complexities in this space-time period. For we are of the understanding that many of you now, are ready, willing and able to transcend the limits of human consciousness to a realm or awareness that is normal to those in the spirit realms but rather abnormal or unusual for those on the material or human realm.
We wish, then, to make that bridge, to build that bridge between the spirit realm and the human realm. This bridge, then, has been created in many ways before, through the knowledge of great teachers, through the message of great philosophers, through the understandings and experiences of priests and gurus and shamans as you understand it. But it has been understood that it is time for the population as a whole to build bridges that are wholly unique to their temperament and understanding so that they need not attempt to understand another's teachings or another's experiences to experience the bridge between the human and the divine. So that we, then, encourage all of you to build your own personal bridges to your spirituality, to your own divinity and I, Ascordia, in my fashion, encourage you to do so and in many ways. And in one way, then, would be to experience my presence, my love and my sincere desire to encourage you to develop yourself along the divine, along lines spiritual, as we understand it.
(This introduction was exerpted from a taped session recorded October 26, 1988 at the Ascordia Center in Philadelphia, Pa.)
I am called Daniel. It is indeed a pleasure to be here to welcome all of you into the realms of spiritual enlightenment. I, too, was once a human as you are right now and I had the same qualities that you have right now. I have gone through the human drama, many, many times and have understood its trials, its tribulations, its pains, its joys, its sorrows, its fulfillments so much so that now for one who no longer feels the need to fit in the physical realm, I act as guide and teacher to those who are in themselves focused in a physical existence.
I have been a human being and have lived on the earth plane and earth like planes over many, many eons of time passing. I have ascended through the rank of the chain of karmic cause and effect to a level of perfection, as you would understand it so that I neither require nor desire human experience for my spiritual growth. At this point then, in my development, as I would call it, I have ascended or mastered the understandings and the laws that govern your earth plane. I have achieved a certain wisdom and insight from many, many lives of experience in the earth drama. I have learned through many lifetimes how to create my reality, how to manifest my will, how to create a compassionate heart and how to maintain the integrity of my being.
We of the Brotherhood, as we would call ourselves, who serve the earth plane as guides and teachers are intent upon then, a dialog between those of the earth plane and those of the non physical realms to create then, a greater understanding of reality as we all understand it; to create perhaps then, an integration of understandings as we would understand it, of our reality and ALL THAT IS.
What is it all about? What does it all mean? What is the meaning of existence? This for you may be the crux of your questions. I myself can only speak from my own understanding of what has occurred to me in my lives and what is occurring to you now on the physical plane. If one wants to understand one's existence, one first needs to come to an understanding of one's self. The understanding of self requires that one must come to understand what one must believe in and what one values.
To reiterate again then, one needs to understand one's beliefs. For there is no one truth, but many shared values and meanings; and all values, and all meanings ultimately originate from one's belief structure or belief system. These are words not to be taken lightly. For in your society, these words have been taken lightly. These ideas have not been given the proper perspective or understanding in your educational system. For one may go through life seeking meaning through external events, external traditions and externalized circumstances; and such events, such traditions and such circumstances may have really nothing to do with your own internal belief system.
Thus you may find yourself to be in constant conflict with society around you and not understand why; as well as feeling you are an outcast and that you do not belong to society. For what is happening, is that you are not thinking through your own internal belief structure. You are not seeking what it is that constitutes your own beliefs. For once you do that you will feel an automatic alignment of yourself, with yourself and with others who have like beliefs and like values.
" What is your purpose?", is the question. I can only say to you that you create your own meaning (through your beliefs and values) and that this meaning is then shared with others and either corroborated or invalidated by yourself and others. You create your own reality. You create your own reality, through your beliefs and values which in turn give meaning to your life. Since you create your own life drama, it is indeed a creative masterpiece. That you, your body, you, your family, you, your community, you, your society, you, your country and you, your planet are all a great cooperative effort at understanding what it means to be alive. And these are my words for you today!
(This introduction was exerpted from two taped sessions recorded in April and June of 1987 at the Ascordia Center in Phila., Pa.)
Question: Daniel, why did the Founding Fathers come to an area that was known as Philadelphia to create the constitutional freedoms that we know of today? Why this area that we know of as Philadelphia and not, let's say, Trenton, NJ. or Wilmington, DE.?"
Daniel: Give me a moment then as I access information I hope that I have for you. We feel that there were many reasons for the choice of this particular area as a creation of Philadelphia, as you know it. As you know, this is a very sacred area for the Indians, for those Eastern American Indians, rather, in the Northeast and Eastern states and the coastal areas. This particular area is quite sacred. There have been found many sacred grounds, many sacred caves and many sacred quarries that were effected with great power and great energy due to the fact that they were used as burial grounds, as power spots, as alters or commemorative centers to the spirits of their forefathers, to the spirits of the dead and to the great spirit that they believed in, on other levels and in other probabilities.
This also was a great center in Atlantis. That this was a city of great enterprise that was highly dynamic, that was a port city as well, as Philadelphia is today. The name of that city, if I can recount it accurately, is Namalou. This city has the distinction of having many individuals arise from its populous who became quite powerful in the various governments that were maintained during the Atlantian time period. So much so that their impressions or their memories are keyed in to this spot or this area, not only on the physical but the astral level as well. And that their memories are encoded in a fashion in power spots, in the areas that you know of as the Fairmount Park system. So that many individuals can gain inspiration and understanding of power, the use and right use of power. Thus to say there are many groups in the Philadelphia area who are working for political restitution, for civil rights, for the environment, for social equality and so on, because of the fact that there is encouragement given to those individuals by such power spots, by such power centers.
There is also the very simple reason that because William Penn was granted this charter to build a city in this area or to at least create a colony in the state of Pennsylvania, that's been called Penns Woods, this area was favored by Penn as a base station or a foundation for him in which he could make his forays into the state, so that it became a home for him and it was invested with that quality. Because, then, it was given a sense of foundation that had many foundations from other civilizations, the Founding Fathers were naturally drawn to it as an area or environment conducive to creating foundations, to creating structures.
There were guides leading them here as well. For in the creation of structure, in the creation of foundation there are certain, shall we call it, thought frequencies or codes or blueprint patterning of ideas that were resonant within the Founding Fathers consciousness to the energy spots and the codes created in these caverns, in these caves that allowed for what we would call a residential link up or empowerment link up that created an energy vortex that drew to itself even more of the similar frequencies to it.
And you will find this to be the case in many cities, that there is a certain slant or orientation or thinking process that is peculiar or typical of that city and that city only. For that is true because of its ability or residential qualities to attract similar thinking people, similar thinking opportunities, similar thinking consciousnesses. Thus to say, Philadelphia has a certain consciousness level that attracts those individuals who are interested in creating structures, interested in creating foundations and interested in creating structure and foundation that are based on a more sophisticated or ever more increasing sophistication of understanding of the right use of power. And that is why Philadelphia has the distinction of being a premier New Age city because it has those qualities of recreating new structures and new foundations as individuals come to a more even sophisticated and realized sense of the right use of power.
This then is the crux or the essence of the Philadelphia flavor. It is a city composed of and obsessed with power but on many different levels and in many shades and levels of nuance.
Jennifer steered the car down the empty highway, singing along with the Indigo Girls tape wafting from the box in the back seat. I had my head stuck out the window, gazing up at the beautiful starlit heavens spread out above us. Little did we know that evening how close we might have been to actually "touching the heavens " in our own unique little way.
I was lost in the stars, thinking of the day's adventure in of all places, the Grande Canyon. Jennifer and I were in the midst of our two week romp through Arizona, a journey I'd looked forward to for quite a while, and was finally able to experience this past October. We were on our way back to our motel which was in Sedona, a beautiful and mystical town in central Arizona filled with breathtaking terrain bordering on almost the alien.
During our stay in Sedona, I must say, the two of us found our belief systems challenged quite often. In this town it was a casual event to mention yesterdays UFO sighting, or to discuss one's latest merging with God in the nearest vortex. Many spoke of the locally accepted belief that there were angelic beings of light who were present not only among the majestic red rock cliffs and caverns, but were in fact available anywhere, to anyone. Actually, of all the magical possibilities, the only issue I may have had a little problem in accepting was the possibility that one could live in such a beautiful place to begin with!
So, it would seem that Jennifer and I could be considered to be very open minded individuals in regard to what would be termed "New Age", but I soon found that Jennifer had a bit of trouble in accepting the concept of Angels as being real living beings. She kind of categorized Angels, those feathery winged people with clothes hanger halos, as most people do in this high-tech society, with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Bigfoot.
It has taken many little miraculous confirmations in my life to convince me that my celestial friends do indeed exist, since believing in what you can't always see isn't a common practice these days. Anyhow, I was hoping the Angels could stage a little show to help make a believer out of Jennifer, as well as for my own inspiration.
It took less than an hour for my hopes to be realized, and of course my first reaction was PANIC! For Jennifer had just abruptly stopped her singing and sternly announced: "Joel, you know those Angel friends of yours? Well you better start praying to them now cause we need help!" It seemed our fuel gauge was teetering on empty and we were at least an hour away from the next gas station.
Well, we spent the next few minutes yelling and blaming each other for not getting gas when we had the chance. Once that was out of our system, and the reality still remained that we were probably going to be stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere, I took a deep breath and considered Jennifer's idea. "After all", I thought, "I was the spiritually advanced being who had all the answers!" Perhaps I still had much to learn....
The two of us centered ourselves as best we could attempting to connect to the celestial realm, sending out an S.O.S. to the Angels. After a while Jennifer realized we would have to slow down and coast to conserve gasoline. Almost five minutes went by when we realized that we hadn't slowed down at all -even though Jennifer's foot had been off the gas pedal. We found ourselves effortlessly gliding over the road, darting up upgrades, whisking by the trees and forest on either side of us and all the while maintaining a speed of about forty miles an hour!
Our panic and fear subsided and changed into an outburst of pure joy and faith as our heavenly buddies took over our vehicle! We both sat back and enjoyed the ride. We could not help ourselves from rolling into fits of excited laughter. I continued visualizing our connection to the Angels... I imagined Angels holding the sides of the car pushing it ahead with the power of their tremendous wings, calling out for other Angels to join the fun. And a heavenly party of sorts was forming around our car!
During this miracle a very special Indigo Girls song played on the tape deck. The song was called "Secure Yourself To Heaven", and it sent a wonderful shiver of knowing down my spine. It was as if, in addition to all that was happening, the Angels were now speaking to us through the lyrics of this beautiful song, insuring us of our safety and security in this sometimes chaotic world.
We finally reached civilization and the first thing we found was a beautiful, marvelous... GAS STATION! We pulled up and breathed a great sigh of relief. We got out of the car and began yelling ecstatic "Thank you's" heavenward. Our hearts were overwhelmed with wonder and filled with happiness but most of all, with faith. We held each other tight and knew that we would never need to fear again
Jennifer was very moved and humbled by this experience and vowed to purchase something to commemorate the experience. She did so, the next day, in the form of a glass Angel which still hangs over her bed to this day!
"What will create for me the greatest joy?", is the question that many of you have asked me in the past and so we wish to answer this question for you at this time.
We of the Angelic realm want you to understand that only by attuning to your own hearts will you understand that which gives you the greatest joy and ultimately that which will create for you the best of all possible worlds. The best of all possible worlds on Heaven and on Earth, for we of the angelic realm are here to help you achieve the best of all possible worlds.
We are here to give you the opportunity to aspire more then just to mediocrity, to aspire more than just to passivity, if you will, aspire more than just to making do or making with or making deals, if you will. That we are here to offer you the vision, the spiritual vision, the goal then, to always "go for the gold", to always go for your highest good.
For we of the angelic realm are in touch with, are aware of, have full knowledge of your highest good. For we are, in a sense, symbolic and a standard by which to bear then for you that which is the highest good. We are good incarnate, if you will. We are representatives of goodness and Godness, if you will. For God is good, God is great and God is in everything and everyone.
So your goodness is known to us and to everything and everyone. So your goodness is really no secret, except, perhaps to yourself!. That is to say, that which is good for you is known then to us. Is known by us. Is known then by God himself. And so, in attuning to your hearts desires, in attuning to the angelic frequencies, in attuning then, to that which creates your highest good, that is to say, that which creates your joy, you are in a sense, attuning to your goodness and your Godness. You are attuning then to your godhead and you are attuning then with God, him/her/itself!
So, when you are in touch with your joy, when you are in touch then, with that which gives you pleasure, and meaningful pleasure at that, you are also in touch with God. You are in touch with the Source, you are in touch with the Creator, you are in touch with All That Is. For the Source is good, the Source is joyful, the Source has your heart's desires at it's heart as well!
So if you can just know this, if you can but just feel this, if you can just sense this to be true, how different, then, your life will become. How different then, your life will seem to become, how easy and pleasurable and joyful and satisfying it will become very naturally. So we, then, of the angelic realm, are here to offer you this bit of advice, this bit of commentary here.
For we see here that all of you need to know, that this is a good universe, that this is a safe universe, that this is a joyful universe and that you can attune then to these qualities, these virtues, by coming in touch then with your own joy by becoming aware then of your heart's true desire, by being able then, to commune with yourself, through the heart, into the angelic dimensions and then into higher spiritual dimensions as well.
So through this very simple understanding and through this very simple technique of meditating on the heart, meditating with the heart, and meditating for the heart, you are actually meditating then for your highest good, for your joy and for God's pleasure, if you will. For God, then does take pleasure in your joy. For God then takes pleasure in knowing that you are happy that you are joyful. For God wants you then to be as joyful, as happy and as content as he/she/it is, if you will.
So that the natural status of the universe, as we know it, as we feel it, is that of contentment, is that of peace and is that of joy. So what you are meant to experience then is the natural order of things, is the natural order of the universe and is the natural order of all of God's creation as it was meant to be, as it was meant to be felt and as it was meant to be expressed.
We of the angelic realm are here to facilitate the reordering of your senses, the reordering of your experience, the reordering of your cognitions and your emotions to that of the natural qualities of the universe which manifest, in their natural fashion, as peace, as joy and as contentment.
It is no easy feat in these times. It is no easy task to alert then the masses to the fact that they are out of touch with the natural order of things. For they are still so bound up in fear and in struggle and in conflict and in pain, all of which then are the result of a misalignment to and surrender to a fear ridden ego. A surrender then to the vices of the mind, shall we say it, to greed and to avarice and to corrupt power and to all of those goals that seem to be made manifest then, by the powers that be, by the authorities that be.
We, then, would like to right these wrongs. We then of the angelic ream, would like to amend these distortions. We then, would like to have all of humanity back on track, so to speak, back on the track that was originally laid earlier by your great profits, by your great gurus, by your great saints, by the Christ himself, by Budhah, if you will, by Confucus, by Lao-Tze, by the great Hindu scholars, by the great philosophers and by the great intellects of your times past, present and future! Which serve to remind you of your abilities to transcend the mundane, to rise above the ordinary and the painful, to become visionaries of your own making: to be aware then, of the virtues, of the beauties and of the joy of your transcendent and spiritualized vision.
We of the angelic realm are here to offer you an alternative then, to the perplexities and mundanities and banalities of the everyday world which would have you believe in a world that is fraught with strife, fraught with conflict, fraught with evil, fraught with ugliness, fraught with violence, fraught with all of those vices that we say are merely misalignments and distortions of man's natural tendency to rise above to reach out to a greater spiritual reality, to a greater sense of self, to a greater capacity one has then, to experience life in all of it's richness and joy, pleasure and contentment.
If only but then, all of the peoples of the world were immediately imbued with the understanding that they can be happy, that they can be satisfied, that they can be abundant, that they can exist and coexist in a mutually supportive fashion, without trouble, without conflict, without pain, then this world would truly be a heaven on earth, this world would truly be akin to the heavenly kingdoms; this world would then truly be admitted to the dimensions of the heavenly kingdoms, if you will.
We of the angelic realm are here to facilitate the emergence of the earth into it's rightful place as partner and cooperator with the angelic kingdom. In order to do so, then, in order to create this easy camaraderie, this collegial relationship, we need to establish and re prioritize and reeducate you to a more sophisticated status (more) than you have already experienced yourself to be with each other and with the angelic kingdom.
We want you then, to feel as we feel. We want you then, to see as we see. We want you then, to experience as we experience, so as to become equals, so as to become comrades and colleagues walking hand in hand down the street together. All of you then can and will walk hand in hand with your spirit guides and with your guardian angels as well.
I can only walk hand in hand with you figuratively, at this time. I can only express myself, then through this channeler at this time, in this fashion. For it is through, Amy, then, that I can make myself clear to you, that I can make myself humanly comprehensive to you, that I can make myself available to you and your inquiries.
(This message was exerpted from a lecture given by Ascordia at an "Awakening the Heart" workshop at the Life Center in Lambertville, N.J., in Feb. 24, 1993.)
My name is Marcus Wohler. I have been studying metaphysics since the summer of 1989 with emphasis on divination. I have been working with the old Runic alphabet which was used as an oracle in ancient Northern Europe. Utilizing a new casting technique with Runes allows me to recognize general trends for each birth month and I hope the messages will be helpful to you.
Best wishes! M.W.

A Gift from Gendarion to Help You Prepare for Planetary "Waves of Change"
Channeled by Debby Starks Taylor
There is news of change - additional freedom. How will changes take place? "How will God's energies be made manifest?" "Can the average individual receive higher planetary assistance?" "When is there going to be an indication of a more radical shift than what we have noticed heretofore?" "Is anything going to collapse or be taken?" "Are any processes or organizations going to be taken away?"
There is a new order of change coming to the planet today. It goes beyond being centered. It goes beyond expressing yourself spiritually. It goes beyond feeling strength of God's will in your existence. It involves moving out, pressing on, completing actions, fulfilling your own senses/feelings/desires, utilizing the magnetic experiences of day-to-day existence to transform your mind, generating more than what you believe is possible.
We see a strong movement to press forward and reach out into life, to let go of belief systems that have kept everyone closed-in. A more open ended structure will be transpiring in these times ahead.
Conditions are ripe for further change. The importance for the needs of individuals has outgrown the needs of belief systems and the thought projections of a few. The minds of individuals have carried burdens for far too long for those few who wish to sustain fear for the whole planet... who wish to maintain a status or posture of supressing others so that they may maintain their positions at the "top".
Freedom is something that is very difficult to understand in these times. You see, freedom is often seen as freedom of movement, of thought, of expression. In truth, freedom will come from the desire and the willingness to be strong through change. Steadfast, earnest, willful desire to remain strong through change will help each individual stretch themselves to another dimension... stretch themselves far beyond the unique capacity for development that has been brought to this planet and ignored.
The mind needs to be cleared, then filled with gardens of wisdom and freedom of consciousness and gatherings of virtue and ideals of honesty, integrity and truth.
The mind must learn to listen to universal sounds. For there are high frequencies that give off energies of fulfillment. Listening to high sounds is of extreme importance in these times - listening to sounds that free your mind and your senses.
The mind must be prepared to handle information, not just through visual or auditory means, but also through sound waves and frequencies of a higher nature. For the ability to hear and feel energies in higher frequencies will help add to your potential for clarity... clear thinking and desire. Your receptions of higher energies can be tuned in through a peaceful mind or a thoughtful focus on anything serene. Concentration involves the convergence of the senses into one unit of perception. This gives Spirit a greater chance to be present, for you are more completely present with yourself.
To have only investment in distress-free activity is advisable and will offer the most potential for receiving higher energies and for being most open to the deeper understandings that will be coming to your sphere or planet.
Correction in the mind is necessary before justice can prevail for all individuals. Corrections are done through very simple exercises that can be administered through thought forms. This is being done through many quarters even now. One such system of thought is A.C.I.M. The St. Germaine foundation is very pure in thought formations. The central focus needs to be on Divinity being the Source of goodness, and on your willingness to be a witness to the entire process, watching, existing in a posture of observance.
The seductiveness of greed and fear of all kinds will cause man to believe that he is slowly bleeding (through changes ahead), so that he believes he must surround himself in ways to keep from feeling lost or alone. So he will tend towards fulfillment of the senses- extreme need for stimulation. But each craving and feeding of extreme desires helps to contribute to disorder of the mind- to cramping of the spiritual senses.
So if you listen to fear and conform to the sounds of fear in your society, you may find yourself collapsing in some way. If you are able to separate yourself, listening in your mind to what you know to be Truth...to how you believe Truth prevails on this Earth, maintaining a posture of vision for correction of mind, you'll be led to a more complete sense of being centered. Thus, you will feel more stabilized in the midst of change.
This is part one of a four part article based on the transcript of a Gendarion channeling by channeler Debby Starks Taylor.
This column is meant to give anyone who reads it valuable and practical astrological information. Astrology is meant to help us lead better lives based on an understanding of what is going on in the heavens and how it relates to what is going on with us here on earth. H.S.
Let us begin with the moon cycle. The moon and its cycles effects the movement of all fluids on the Earth as well as all fluids in our bodies. It also effects human emotions as well. The new moon of each month marks the beginning of the moon's cycle. It is a time, in practical terms, to begin new things. In March, the new moon occurred on the 23rd. It was a very good time to begin, or at least, to think about new beginnings, because it was also in the sign of Aries which is the first sign of the zodiac and is one that begins on the first day of Spring. The next new moon is on April 21 and is in the sign of Taurus. This will be a good time to take these new beginnings and to bring them into reality by doing something solid and practical about them. The sun is also in the sign of Taurus so that this placement, as well, lends support to the solidification of these projects.
The full moon is the culmination of what has gone on since the last new moon and it can be a point of culmination for things that have occurred prior to the full moon. For example, there are more births on the full moon than on any other time during the moon's cycle. The full moon in April, falls on the 6th, placed within the constellation of Libra which is the sign of co-operation. In May, the full moon falls on the 6th, placed within the constellation of Scorpio and indicates that there may be a number of theme endings around this time.
There are a few major events going on in the heavens these days which will have a personal impact in people's lives. For example, Pluto is squaring Saturn which means that there is a giant battle of wills going on for those with this disposition in their birth chart, for example, they may find that may hate to lose and will attempt to win at any cost. On a more general level, many of you may find blockages, (emotional or physical) increasing in your personal life. If your birthday is mid to late November, February, August or May, you may notice some of this phenomena occurring to you and will appear to you in your personal or professional life.
At present, there is also an almost exact conjunction of Uranus and Neptune in the constellation of Capricorn. This usually means a restructuring of finances for Capricorn rules banks and finances. You may already be witnessing the fact that many governments on the planet are changing their economies. This conjunction is also effecting people who are born in mid to late January, April, July and October. This conjunction often indicates job changes but also always indicates a way to earn a living more true to yourself than the previous job. If your birthday is in mid to late March, July or November, you may notice that you have a lot more vitality than usual and your career may have a quality of destiny to it that it never had before. If your birthday is in mid to late May or September, you may find your financial situation is flowing a lot more easier than usual.
There is another event that occurs periodically within the heavens which indicates a time of contemplation rather than a time of action. This is termed retrograde motion of the planets. Recently, Mercury has gone retrograde from February 27 to March 22 indicating that typewriters and computers were "on the fritz", lots of phone tag, car and traffic difficulties occurred and that it wasn't a particularly good time to sign documents. In general, there may have been all kinds of miscommunications and misunderstandings. Since Mars went direct after March 22, things have probably smoothed out and it is a good time now to send communications and to sign documents. You will probably experience less obstacles on the road and misunderstandings won't occur as often. As far as the outer planets go, Neptune and Uranus will go retrograde at the end of April and from then on will be retrograde until the Fall. From April to Sept. then, one should spend time in contemplation rather than in action. I hope this information has been generally helpful to you the A.T.U. reader and I look forward to writing an update as the time goes on.

The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to Inner Peace, and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has been, up to now, a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world!
SOME SYMPTOMS FOR INNER PEACE:
A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.
A loss of interest in judging other people and in interpreting their actions.
A loss of interest in conflict.
A loss of the ability to worry ( a very serious symptom).
Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation and enjoyment.
Feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
An increasing tendency to LET things happen, rather than MAKE them happen.
An increased susceptibility to the LOVE extended by others, and the uncontrollable urge to extend it...
