The Light Under the Bushel

4063411401?profile=originalElection 2012 Is The Choice of Government or Individual Solutions

Five in numerology “is freedom, change and adventure. Curiosity and constant activity produce a resourceful, adaptable and versatile entity always ready to take a chance.”  5 means I am born to be free of manmade controls.

I’m Aquarius Rising. In the Rising Sign, under Aquarian Rising, “He is a chance taker. He is willing to let go of the trunk of the tree to walk out on the edge of a limb. He knows where the fruit grows and where the spotlight can hit. He is not one to hide his light under a bushel”—but on a candlestick and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Mt.5:15, 16), speaking of “Higher Law”

But let us speak of man’s law. We are born to be free. Now under numerology’s 5, having reached the midpoint in our progressing lives, Karen and I, free to do our thing, away from the humdrum of city life, away from the pressures of a job, free to enjoy nature, we’ve accomplished wonders in our mental and physical health—on your money. 

Karen and I retired with little saved, sold out, bought an RV and hit the road. A couple can live full time in an RV on Social Security. We paid for our travels with part time jobs. For 50 hours a month maintenance work in an RV park we spent the whole summer in Colorado’s mountains.

Instead of government mandates, being forced to comply with norms set by society, life could be far better. The money government spends to take care of our needs is not. Government is borrowing trillions of dollars to keep the system alive.

By absence of the present coercive laws, but rather cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as a principal mode of organized society, the true nature of human beings would come out. But this idea is defined in Webster’s College Dictionary as anarchy.   

Why should present American workers pay for the past generation’s workers? Congress borrows the money workers pay for retirement to pay Tom, Dick, and Harry, borrows the money to pay for wars, and borrows the money to pay the interest on the astronomical debt Congress has created. You pay more for my retirement than I paid. Social Security is a pyramid game. It is also a Ponzi scheme. Government is spending Social Security money on other than Social Security.  Congress gives you IOUs for your retirement.  It’s the greatest fraud of all times. Why do you put up with it?

Government is proving daily that it can’t manage our lives as well as we, individually, can manage them. Retirement age should be our decision. Why retire at all? Why not work toward work we enjoy? Why not take leisure time to enjoy the things we like doing? If we were not being taxed out of half of what we earn we could do this.

Karen and I are living proof that life can be much better than your government caretakers give you. All government entitlements should be phased out before it is too late. 

Congress has caused the American people to become addicted. But we elect these people. America’s elected representatives are out of control. America is going bankrupt. Germany went bankrupt. Hitler was the answer.

We’d been living in our RV nine years. Our traveling days were over. Karen wanted to be closer to her family. She located an RV and manufactured home park in the tall timber near Mt. Hood, Oregon.  We parked on a beautiful wooded site.  I planned to add a deck with a roof, but Karen said, “Joe, I hate to think about living in this RV the rest of my life.” My response: “Well, quit thinking about it.”  

We sold our home in 1999. Thanks to those great humanitarians in Washington, D.C. scheming how to put people in homes they couldn’t afford, the prices on homes had doubled. We couldn’t afford a home.

A week after Karen’s remark, I received notice in the mail from the Veteran’s Administration that I was going to receive disability pay. I’m a World War II veteran. When I left the service, my ears were ringing. A doctor told me it was due to the noise in combat. He said my hearing would gradually deteriorate. My hearing loss prohibited me from getting a job.  I was unemployable. At the very moment that Karen made her statement, my application was before the Veteran’s Administration.

 New Year’s Day 2008 was sunny.  I took a walk in the park and saw a vacant site where a manufactured home had been, one of the better sites in the park. On January 2, I asked about it. The site was available.  On January 2 we bought a new manufactured home. It had the large kitchen Karen wanted. It had the jet tub I wanted.  We moved into our dream home in the tall timber on March 15, 2008.

In numerology, “9 is selflessness and compassion. It desires to apply its energy to universal service.  This is the artist, the thinker who has developed skills through the preceding cycles and is now ready to share his or her knowledge with the rest of the world.”

As a Life Lesson Number, numerology gives me 7. “You are here to use and develop your mind. . .You should learn to spend time by yourself, in the woods or by the seashore, where you can get in touch with your inner self and your deepest thoughts because your destiny is to use your mind.”

America’s Great Depression came upon us when I was age eight. The family was America’s cornerstone but that gave way to government redistribution. America became dependent on government, causing great division. Thanks to Social Security, we are drowning is a sea of debt. But America’s politicians are not about to correct their wrong. Currently in an uncompromising mode, the President is hoping to be reelected on the idea of a do-nothing Congress.

Before New Deal Law, it only took one job to support a family. Divorce was rare. My mother was at home for me. We didn’t have the crime and drugs we now have.  Schools were under local control. Education was better, and at a fraction of today’s cost, to name a few of the travesties New Deal Law has caused.

America is fast becoming a basket case. Allow those trespassers of your rights to have their way and you end with zero rights. Therefore, “Let us make man in our image” in Genesis 1:26—in God’s image—“in earth as it is in heaven,” in Matthew 6:10, our image universal consciousness. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God,” in Matthew 6:33, there is a distinction to be made. Earth and heaven are quantitative; the kingdom of God, universal consciousness, is qualitative.  

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof,” in Matthew 6:34. In Astrologer’s Handbook, the morrow, the Age of Aquarius, “The sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water-bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy.” With regard to “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof,” we are now in the Age of Pisces’ death throes.

“Pisces is a sensitive sign and those born under it are extremely sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others.” –Astrologer’s Handbook.  “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.”  

“The symbol for Pisces is two attached fishes, one swimming upstream the other downstream, implying a drastic duality of emotion.” –Astrologer’s Handbook

It is interesting to note that Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is actively seeking recognition with a demand that America’s political system serve them. For two months they have been on the street, and not getting anywhere. Behind their demand is class warfare activists, the Obama Administration and associates.

All by myself, with the help of the U. S. Constitution, I forced the above mentioned control freaks to back off, which says the American people have their heads buried in the sand.

“I believe that a widespread understanding of the potent but usually unconscious archetypal dynamics that coincide with planetary cycles and alignments, both in individual lives and in the historical process, can play a crucial role in the positive unfolding of our collective future.” –Richard Tarnas in Cosmos and Psyche.

In my astrological reading by James Redfield, “The Vigo ego integration with the higher self, and the higher self perspective is going to be defined along the lines of the Virgo archetype, which is, of course, our need for organization: to be effective, to be conscientious about making things better.”

Thus our wake-up call, with regard to our collective future, in Jungian psychology, the part of the unconscious mind that is derived from ancestral memory and experience—and is common to all—Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.  Jesus, in The Sermon on the Mount
