I woke up this morning with the word “euphemistic” on my mind. I was familiar with the word but didn’t know its meaning: substituting a mild indirect expression for a thought that could appear offensive. Very interesting, an indication that it was not my thought, but someone else putting the word in my mind. Ever since I studied the Constitution, in 1975, and felt that voices of the past were speaking to me, I’ve felt this to be the case. But why the word euphemistic?
I’d been dreaming of riding in William Bennett’s car with two other men. Bennett was the former Secretary of Education. I’d heard a news story of the deplorable education in the United States, the most costly and one of the worst systems in the world. We were heading for Bennett’s ranch where we planned to work on a solution for America’s educational system.
At the ranch, I was watching the ranch foreman handling a stubborn horse. Later that horse walked up to me. I reached out to pet its nose. Its nose batted my hand away. I get the meaning of my dream to be about the teacher’s union, and educators speaking euphemistically on the subject. It is a waste of time! Sweet talk is not the answer. Actually, it is beating a dead horse to try to make sense to the teacher’s union. The answer: do away with the totally self-serving teacher’s union, as well as the Department of Education. Let schools be locally run.
My county commissioner put me on a citizen’s committee to study airport noise. I called an F.A.A. official a bald-faced liar at a meeting. I refused to apologize. It was a proven fact. My county commissioner removed me. We have the habit in America of minimizing problems with sweet talk. Straight talk: America’s government is a lawless renegade, a traitor to American values, but we Americans would rather bury our heads in the sand and hope for the best.
Speaking of voices from the past, in Astrologer’s Handbook I find a perfect description of the American people under Pisces: “Pisces is a sensitive sign and those born under it are extremely responsive to the thoughts and feelings of others. They unconsciously absorb the ideas and mental outlook of those around them. They desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule they do not have strong willpower. Therefore, they are easily influenced by external factors.” Jesus said to Peter, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. That’s Pisces. Jesus told it like it is—and why not? Jesus spoke of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Pisceans can’t make up their minds. The symbol for Pisces is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions.
We are leaving the Age of Pisces, entering the Age of Aquarius. The key words for Aquarius: humanitarianism, independence, originality. “Individuals born under the sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water-bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy…. There is no affectation or snobbery in the Aquarius personality but a dislike of spurious imitation and hypocrisy in any form. Aquarians operate as equals among equals. However, they are not dependent on their environments for their security, because they derive this from being in the company of others…. Because Aquarius is an intellectual air sign, those born under it relate to others on a mental level.”
The weak willed remain euphemistic, but alas, voices of the past continue speaking to me. Jesus said, “in earth as it is in heaven….But seek ye first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33)…. Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21)…. And he said unto the disciples, ‘The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it” (Luke 17:22). When the disciples asked where to look, Jesus answered: “Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”
Jesus said that you will not see the brotherhood of man when the age arrives. Freedom loving people everywhere are at the edge of a cliff. You can either fly with eagles or fall into the abyss of little faith in self. Guided by voices from the past, I’ve written my story of flying with eagles. The kingdom of God is in you. Time that you know your strength. My story is not for Christians; it is for everyone. As eagles, let us gather together. In Earth as It Is in Heaven 2012 will be available this June from Amazon.
