Hey All... I just thought this was well said and felt like sharing it. He's more mainstream than most of us here, and what I seem to see from this is that "the fringe" and "mainstream" views are starting to merge. To some degree, anyway.

FEAR SEEMS to be issue #1. This is always the case in the land of swift death and little bliss, but now that the list of things to be terrified about is getting heaped higher and higher, it suddenly dawned on me one day last week, it was Thursday, to raise the question of fear itself, now. I don't think in all my spiritual explorations and planetary wanderings I have ever put it to myself, or felt this reality within myself, in such obvious terms, where I could actually experience the choice as real. I have always just figured that nearly overwhelming fear was a given; that I would always be scared; that I would have to live with it, work around it, and do my best to get by.
As we can see from homeopathy, which is an excellent window deeper into our physical and psychic reality, the most vivid mental property of influenza is fear. Fear and flu are synonymous, in homeopathic terms. They contain the same energy signature and the same feeling. The planetary fear level has clearly been rising in the years since September 11, since the Iraq invasion, since the pretense of democracy has been stripped away by a system of government that makes monarchy look fair, and since a series of not so natural disasters have made everyone feel vulnerable that they could be next and nobody can help.
The world has never seemed smaller, never more like a little island surrounded by oceans and the mystery of space.
Love and fear may be opposites, and on some level they may be mutually exclusive. But they have a strange way of mixing into a truly strange psychic potion that leads us to question whether we're dead or alive -- or worse, to be going through the nightmare of the split/conflict and having the question swim around beneath consciousness. So while you could say the choice is love or fear, the choice can also be stated as the decision to first become aware of the struggle and then as the choice to be alive or not. As far as I can see and feel, this is actually a decision we make -- not a given. And it may be a choice we need to keep making every single day.
I have not mentioned lately that we reach the peak of the Mars retrograde over the next 36 hours, as the Sun, Mars and Neptune form an exceedingly close T-square on Monday, with Saturn in Leo making it a grand square covering the fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. This is the basic astrology of the protests now spreading across France and in Argentina, and many other places.
This is the astrology that says "something gives." Wake up and focus. Snap out of your trance. Stand up and say your name. Take up your mantle.
