Scorpio-The Flight of the Raven- and the Good News of 2010 - The Line of Fire












". . .the crowned and conquering child, who dieth not, nor is reborn, but goeth radiant ever upon His Way. Even so goeth the Sun: for as it is now known that night is but the shadow of the Earth, so Death is but the shadow of the Body, that veileth his Light from its bearer." (Aleister Crowley-Heart of the Master)












The Above quote from infamous Occultist Aleister Crowley, quite plainly explains "The Good News" of his proclaimed "Aeon of the Child". In this quote Crowley pretty much trying to explain this that we are a Microcosm of our Universe, and that changes in our understanding of the function of the Macrocosmic Universe and Solar system, results in changes and evolution in understanding of the Microcosm of ourselves as well.



What Crowley is saying is that simply, now that we understand that the sun has never actually Died or is Reborn but that this is an illusion as veiwed from earth. Esoterically the element of Earth is attributed to our Physical body, because it is what we are made of. But we also know that we are something more than this physical body, we are the I that lives here, we are the Consciousness and Spirit that animates this body. If we are soley identified with our body than we are under the illusion that we are finite and that we are subject to some total end of our beingness. I beleieve we are more than just bodies, scientifically we know that we are a union of amazing components of energy and matter, and spiritually we all know that weve got SOUL!

So in some sense Mr. Crowleys "Good News" of the Aeon of the Crowned and Conquering Child Horus is just a complicated western way of arriving at justified logical beleif in Reincarnation. Various life experiences have lead me to personally and wholly ascribe to this understanding, maybe I can share some of that later. Im sharing this "Good News" now because I feel I have come to fully grasp enough of the Nature of what Mr Crowley was trying to share with us, and the further that I explore these truths, the more evidence arises in my natural environment that inspires me to share this "Good News" with others.




















We have just entered the astrological Sign of Scorpio. Scorpio is symbolized by the "Death" Tarot card, Numbered 13. This does not only imply the physical death that all living things are subject to, but to Ego Death and so on as well. Notice now the Bubbles that the Scythe(A symbol of Saturn-Time-Death) leaves in its trail, well se bubbles and Death again soon.

In Ancient Alchemy, Death was also understould as a means as well as an end, in the process of the transformation of metals, as well as the transformation of the self, the Nigredo process or simply the Blackening or Dying process, which spiritually can be seen as a time of depression, darkness, ignorance, or pain, which is to be experienced and overcome, thus purifying the Metal and or Spirit of the practitioner.


















Saturn is the planet of Time and Death, and is associated specifically with the Color Black. It is Alchemically the ruler over the densest and heaviest of Metals, which is also why Lead the heaviest metal is associated with Saturn and Depression and mania. In order to reach a refreshed and enlightened state of purity called "Albedo" or the Whitening, one must surrender to the Death of the Ego(Saturn devouring its Children) in order for the full gnosis the process to be experienced and to reach the blossoming stage of Rubedo or the Reddening. The Raven is thus also a Symbol of Death, Saturn, and Time in Alchemy, remember this. Youll see where this is going very soon.








Astonishingly we see Ray Raven of the Ravens football team here, Riding a Raven and flying off to its cheif planet ruler of Death and Time Saturn. And what does the Raven do , why it goes and DESTROYS SATURN/DEATH. The Raven has taken flight, and is no longer a Slave to Time and Death!Notice the Bubbles our Death defying friend appears wearing in the first scene, reminding us of the Bubbles on the Death Tarot card above. In my opinion the next Old Spice Commercial confirms these connections. Just watch this next Old Spice Commercial now.First I offer you this Crowley Quote, In reference to the Good News of The New Aeon. I beleive speaking below is the Lord of the New Aeon Horus, speaking to the people of the New Earth. Pay attention to "the end of Sorrow" :)

Liber Tzaddilai vel Hamus Hermeticus
sub figurâ XC - An A:.A:. publication

"Children of Earth! rejoice! rejoice exceedingly; for your salvation is at hand.

The end of sorrow is come; I will ravish you away into mine unutterable joy."


"a Universe where Heartbreak and Sadness are replaced by Old Spice" quote the Raven nevermore.

"Every Man and Woman is a Star"
- Another Quote from prophet of the New Aeon Aleister Crowley.

Above we can see the Raven having destroyed Saturn, Death, and Time in the first commercial, now proclaiming the new Aeon and the "End of Sorrow". Our Raven, being beyond Death, has now Realized the Star in its Heart that will bring the End of Sorrow, and reveal the interier eternal universe of Spirit. This revelation of the star self, the end of Sorrows, perfectly entrains with the 2001 A Space Oddysey Star Child which in the end of the film a dying David Bowman seems to transform into. This Starchild is also in "2010 the year we make Contact." 2010 the Year we Make Contact not only features the Child God of the New Aeon, but it also features Jupiter becoming the Second Sun for Earth.


Two suns are seen over theEarth at the end scene of "2010 the Year we Make Contact"



And here is Old Spices Commercial from Summer 2010 featuring Terry Crews announcing the dawn of the Double Sun!




Twin Suns in "2010 the Year we make Contact" from 1984
















Double Sun Power from Old Spices summer 2010 commercial


We are more than our physical bodies! If we look within we are all the same eternal I Amness that has always been.

Infinite Love and Joy to you all, more to add soon Bless <3>

Jake:

I like that the Death Tarot associates to Scorpio.

Astrologically, Scorpio is sometimes represented by an eagle or a phoenix, though this depiction is rather esoteric.
Wiki Scorpio

The Phoenix/Scorpio dies and is resurrected, the story of us letting go of our perception as limited conceptual entities and embracing the mystery of being unfathomable consciousness itself.

Consciousness is not the thinking mind or story of ourselves inside our heads. These are just more things arising in consciousness.
Both films opening on 22 October, the day before the start of Scorpio, are overtly themed on death. Matt Damon is a medium who can speak to the spirits of the departed in Hereafter, "resurrecting" them.
While Paranormal Activity 2 is about the dead haunting the living. Again the dead coming back or resurrecting like the Phoenix/Scorpio.

I like how the Stars in both posters are blue, the color we turn when we die.
Julia (female form of Julius meaning "son of Jove/Jupiter") Roberts is Blue on this poster for Flatliners a film where the Stars die and come back to life.

(Been thinking about lines, like HairLine and OnLine.. The niLe is the earths longest river Line. TINkering...)
She is again blue/dead on the poster for NotTINg Hill.
In this film she plays a superStar actress who falls in love with an everyday bloke, Hugh Grant. Above we see one of her made up roles "Helix", clearly a nod to 2001: A Space Odyssey with its rotating set shots.
This screams Jupiter as the journey of 2001 is to reach Jupiter/Joy.
Julia is seen above with the oval in perspective Jupiter mobile catching the light directly above her head in Mystic Pizza. She comforts her sister who is working towards becoming an astronomer.
Here with bubbles in Pretty Woman. The bubble is the egg/ego of form, popping to release/birth/resurrect the empty space or cosmic consciousness beyond concept.
"Help is Coming From Above"

Julia Roberts is the voice of the 8 legged spider Charlotte in Charlotte's Web, coming down on that web Line. As Scorpio is also an 8 legged insect this is a strong resonator. We see a Full Moon, we entered Scorpio 2010 during the Full Moon.

I like how OCTober resonates 8 and Scorpio with its 8 legs starts in this month.

(Funny enough in the book I happen to be reading during this same time period Alastair Reynolds' (some Crowley bleed-through)) "Absolution Gap" the character Scorpio is a genetically engineered human pig hybrid))

It is also Halloween time right now and this fits snug with the realization of Scorpio as resonating Death. Everyday I see hundreds of Spider (8 legs resonating Scorpio) decorations during Halloween time in OCTober.
Jim brought up Walk the Line recently, a film with Joaquin Phoenix as JC (Jesus Christ resonating) Johnny Cash. The Phoenix and Christ are exactly the same thing, dying and being born again.

This poster reads NovEMBER (the Nova Ember) and the film came out on 18th, still in Scorpio (which ends on 22nd). November is the month of Scorpio when the Ember goes Nova and the bubble pops.

Jim points out that Walking the Line is finding the Balance or Center. Resurrecting as Christ or Phoenix is being centered on the hairline. Aiming at the Cross-Hair-Line.

The Line is what separates but also what bridges and balances.
I like how Line and Fire go together again in the Clint Eastwood (director of Hereafter) staring In The Line of Fire.

(Also been thinking allot about wood like Eastwood and doom (as m=w when flipped). Saw The Wrestler with Even Rachel Wood last week... Hollywood or Holy doom and sync brings the end of the form identified consciousness which the ego sees as doom.)
Here is Johnny Cash (played by Phoenix in the film) at the center of a party at Giza on the outside mural of Winnipeg nightclub The Pyramid Cabaret.
Xzibit (X is 24th letter of the alphabet and the crosshair-lines) plays at The Pyramid Cabaret on November 8 well inside Scorpio.
The poster reads Black Phoenix Artists and features the firebird itself.

The StarChild bubble....
POP!

Jackman holds the Crowley Death Tarot, attributed to Scorpio, on the Scoop poster.
And floats towards Xibalba in his giant bubble in The Fountain. When it goes POP he dies and is resurrected at once.

Arrowhead:

Considering we've entered Scorpio in the month of Rocktober it's probably worth taking a quick glance at the career of this famous Wrestler.

In clASH of the Titans actor Sam WorthingTin, the Blue Avatar, is reborn through the portal of Scorpio.

After PoPing out of the Scorpion he goes on to confront the Medusa/Medium. Having harnessed her power the Scorpio King has the power to turn anything he wishes into Rock.

In the poster above we see Johnny Cash, the Phoenix/Scorpion, with his spinal frets on fire.

Here we see The Rock wielding the Kundalini WooD of DooM.


Rocktober and the Cross Hair/Hare seem to go well together.


Jake:

Ran across mention of this video showing WikiLeaks spokesperson Julian Assange walk out of an interview with CNN.
The WikiLeaks logo is the hourglass a symbol of Time/Saturn/Death as mentioned by Kevin above.
At one part of the interview Julian calls himself a lightning (Zeus/Jupiter) rod, showing how WikiLeaks has Time/Death/Saturn resonance and rebirth/Jupiter.
The two go together, as the Phoenix/Scorpio teaches.
One more sucsynct surprise awaits as we see the word Line almost highlighted when he walks out.
Just saw this in Erin Brockovich.
Albert Finney is negotiating Julia Robert's pay raise "I'm drawing the line"
She repeats this to her baby "He's drawing the Line". "Movie Star" babies like Erin Brockovich's above and the Blue one on the Paranormal Activities 2 poster are StarChildren...

Jim:

Speaking of JCash and the Ring of Fire. Mount Merapi or "The Mountain of Fire" erupted today in Indonesia. Same day that a big 7.7 earthquake created a significant tsunami in the same region. Mt. Merapi and Indonesia is on the Pacific Ring of Fire of Volcanoes.

Jake:
The October 2010 Sumatra earthquake occurred on 25 October 2010, when a magnitude 7.7[1] earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.
Wiki October 2010 Sumatra Earthquake

Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) -- At least 40 people were killed and 380 others were left missing after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Sumatra on Monday, Indonesian officials said Tuesday.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake generated a "significant" tsunami. Although communication with remote areas was difficult, witnesses in west Sumatra reported seeing a 6-meter (18-foot) high wave.
CNN

We read that yesterday a 7.7 Magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia. 77 is OZ or Pan in Gematria. 77 is also GG alphabetically and associates to the twin star theme as our sun is classified a G-Type Star. GG is also Gas Giant...
Clint Eastwood directed the Matt Damon staring Hereafter which opened this Friday 22 October and features vivid portrayals of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.

The trailer shows the wave hitting... This is clear entrainment as a real life Tsunami happens days later.

On assignment in Thailand, French television journalist Marie Lelay (Cécile de France) becomes a victim of the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami. Pulled lifeless from the water, she is resuscitated by rescuers, but not before having a near-death experience and a vision of human figures inhabiting a realm of light.
Wiki Hereafter

Marie literally dies and is resurrected like the Phoenix/Scorpio after being hit by the tsunami depicted in theaters the very weekend seeing the start of Scorpio and followed by a real life tsunami.
Indonesia's most volatile volcano started erupting Tuesday, after scientists warned that pressure building beneath its dome could trigger the most powerful eruption in years.
MSNBC Indonesian volcano erupts, 20 hurt by hot ash

Mount Merapi, Gunung Merapi (literally Mountain of Fire in Indonesian/Javanese), is a conical volcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Wiki Mount Merapi

We see that on the same country of islands as the quake yesterday, its most volatile volcano has started erupting today. Volcano Merapi, wiki says, means literally Mountain of Fire.
JC (Jesus Christ resonating) Johnny Cash played by Joaquin Phoenix. Again we have just entered Scorpio on the 23rd of October and Scorpio is also the Phoenix.

Scorpio 2010 sees the Phoenix of awakening human consciousness Rising mirrored by the erupting Mountain of Fire. The fire/kundalini climbing/erupting up the pillar.
Johnny Cash is depicted as playing by the Pyramids on a mural for Winnipeg's Pyramid Cabaret.

The word pyramid is composed of the Greek words pyra meaning fire, light, or visible, and the word midos meaning measures.
Crystalinks

We can associate the word Pyramid to Fire and it is a man made mountain, Johnny Cash/Phoenix/Scorpio is singing at the Mountains of Fire.

Johnny Cash sings Ring of Fire.
The Pacific Ring of Fire (or sometimes just the Ring of Fire) is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements.
Wiki Ring of Fire

Indonesia, the scene of the back to back earthquake/tsunami yesterday and volcanic eruption today is part of the horseshoe shaped Pacific "Ring of Fire".
Took this photo on Friday just before heading in to see Hereafter at the cinema. We see Horse movie Secretariat and Hereafter are playing in theaters right now. This resonates the Horseshoe shaped Ring of Fire very well. Hereafter echoes the Tsunami while Secretariat reflects the Horseshoe. Further Secretariats real name is Red echoing the fiery aspect of the Horseshoe shaped Ring of Fire.
Matt Damon is the voice of Spirit in the 2002 film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Above he is encircled by fire, followed by the eagle (Zeus, Jupiter) while his rider holds on to the flowing hair of his mane.

This Fiery Red Horse (shoe) theme resonates the Red Knight.

Red Knight is a title borne by several characters in Arthurian legend. The first is likely the Red Knight of the Forest of Quinqeroi in Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval, the Story of the Grail; he steals a cup from King Arthur and is killed by the protagonist Perceval, who wears his armor and comes to be known as the Red Knight himself.
Wiki Red Knight

The Red Knight heralds the finding of the Grail from which we drink the sacrament of JC. The circular red "bubble" of fire, about to go POP!
The Red Knight haunts Robin Williams' quest for the Holy Grail in The Fisher King
Mention of Scorpions below in last nights reading of William S. Burroughs Cities of the Red Night.
We see Charlize Theron's name and a scorpion on a line (just like Charlotte the spider) inside of a yellow bubble on the poster for The Curse of the Jade Scorpion.
Here is a photo shoot seeing Red Dressed Charlize inside a giant bubble.


Kevin: Also quite beutiful the way that Crowley describes the ruling intelligence in the new Aeon as the Egyptian and Greek god Harpocrates (HoorParKraat) also known as "The Babe in the Egg of Blue. Exaactly what we see at the end of 2001: A Space oddyssey.


"Harpocrates is the Babe in the Egg of Blue that sits upon the lotus flower in the Nile". He may be termed the 'God of Silence' and said to represent the Higher Self and be the 'Holy Guardian Angel' and more in similar vein, adapted from Aleister Crowley's often-reprinted Magick.

So the film 2010 features the Babe in the Egg of Blue, and in the year 2010 the oldest artifact of this exact God was unearthed in England. Joy!












"A battered and corroded thumb-sized piece of bronze has turned out to be a unique find, the earliest representation of an Egyptian deity from any site in Britain – and appropriately, after almost 2,000 years hidden in the ground, it is Harpocrates, the god of secrecy and silence.

"In Egyptian mythology the figure is known as Horus, the child of Isis and Osiris," said Professor Mike Fulford of the University of Reading, director of the Silchester excavation. "He is often shown with his finger in his mouth, a gesture that in Egypt represented the hieroglyph for his name, but was misinterpreted by the Greeks and Romans, resulting in his adoption as the god of silence and secrecy." - Guardian 7/16/10


Then in August 2010 we see that Kanye West releases his new video POWER. (Horus was a Warrior God=Power)

See the Awsome Horus Bling necklace and Masonic Imagery. Diggit official Promotime is 1:42 (thanks to Strangeye for pointing that out ;)





Verizon 2010 is also resonating the New Aeon and the Child Horus as well.




The Foolchild in all of us is awakening to the beuty, novelty and divinity that is NOW, the unconditioned eyes of the Child can we truely receive ourselves and our universe.


Finally, the Fool Tarot Card by Crowley specifically opens the interperetation of the ancient fool tarot card, as a weathered down depiction of the Child God Harpocrates. The Fool is the first tarot card, numbered Zero, he is the Babe in the Egg of Blue.

ALL WAYS ARE LAWFUL TO INNOCENCE.
PURE FOLLY IS THE KEY TO INITIATION.
SILENCE BREAKS INTO RAPTURE.
BE NEITHER MAN NOR WOMAN, BUT BOTH IN ONE.
BE SILENT, BABE IN THE EGG OF BLUE, THAT THOU
MAYEST GROW TO BEAR THE LANCE AND GRAAL!
WANDER ALONE, AND SING! IN THE KING'S PALACE
HIS DAUGHTER AWAITS THEE.
- Aleister Crowley- Book of Thoth- The Fool

Jim Carrey is certainly the Spirit of the Fool/Harpocrates on Earth right now, also resonating with the themes of Osiris the Green ressurection god of Crops and the Underworld, also associated with the green men of many traditions like Leprechauns, Pan, the Mescalito, and other gods of the Earth. Carrey has starred in the film "Yes Man" which is a direct Download from the Fool Spirit.
















Further beuty arises when we look at the modern Planetary attribution of "The Fool" tarot card as it is the planet Uranus. Uranus was discovered in the late 1800s, during the full swing of post enlightenment and renaissance arts, and so it was astrologically placed as King over the sign of Aquarius likely for such reasons that Aquarius is associated with the forces of Change , arts, liberty, individuality and Enligtenment. It is fitting that this planet would be associated with the foretold annual change of ages every 2500 years, in which we are approaching the Golden age of Aquarius.


Barack Obama is also a beutiful expression of the spirit of the Fool/Aquarius on Earth. He was elected on an Aquarian alignment of ruling planets Saturn and Uranus, and furthermore the film Yes Man(Yes we Can) which shares the Uranus/Fool/Harpocrates card and Posture was in theatres 4 weeks after this.These videos were aligned during civil rights presidential eras like Lincoln, and JFK and the 1960s were even called "the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius(Fool/Uranus/Starbaby Harpocrates) Check out this video I put together in 2009 for more on Obama and Aquarius.



Finally, one more cool little beauty bubble on Harpocrates, the Child God of Silence and Childhood Joy and Foolishness.









































My favorite new artist of 2010 is the UKs "The Transpersonals" they are big Thelema enthusiasts who are making Kosmic Konsciousness groovey and further resonating 2010 and the Aeon of Horus. Enjoy!



"You wanted to whore us, but yeah You got a HORUS, outa control, the Kids are NOW in Control.
History is ending, ET is attending,
Science and religion are blending, a new world is ascending,
Nothing can stop us from feelin, stealing and revealing,
We're beginning to recognize what we are, Every Man and Woman is becoming a star."
- the Transpersonals- you gotta Horus-2010



Jake:
We take a look at South African actress Charlize Therons' movie posters above at IMP Awards. We saw her name in the yellow "bubble" on The Curse of the Jade Scorpion poster then also reclining inside a big bubble.
We note that her film entraining, directly beside Scorpion, is Sweet November the month seeing the majority of Scorpio. She shares the poster with Neo(The One)/Buddha Keanu Reeves.
Sweet NovaEmber

Jim: Let me see where this leads ME/WE.

Anne Hathaway, Agent 99, is Little Red Riding HOOD in Hoodwinked.

HOOD = 8+15+15+4=42

42WINKED = 42SYNC'D.

Fittingly Hoodwinked hit the starG8 screen in October, the month we are in right now and that this post was started in.

Anne Hathaway also starred in Brokeback Mountain with Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Love is a Force of Nature...

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway both star in Love & Other Drugs which will soon hit theatres & go NOVA on November 24 or 11/24/2010 (124/Jovian numbers representing well so far).

Jake sports a Jesus Face Palm in the poster.

Jake Gyllenhaal is super sync cool as he stars in Donnie Darko and has the relationship with Frank an imaginary Rabbit/Hare/Hair. Hence his presence in Hair Peace Part One. He is with Drew Barrymore (DB/42) in Donnie Darko.

Note that in Donnie Darko, Frank the Rabbit tells Jake on October 2nd that in 28 days the world will end. 28 Days, 6 Hours, 42 minutes & 12 seconds to be exact.

That would be October 30th that the world ends for Donnie Darko. In 2 days from now.

Jake Gyllenhaal strange attracts superbly with this post as he stars in Jarhead which has the tag line "WELCOME TO THE SUCK".

Where did I recently read a Crowley quote...

"I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck.
" - Aleister Crowley

And we look to the Moon and we suck light of life from this October Sky.

The Moon looks like a Bubble in the Sky.


Jake Gyllenhaal resonates bubbles and everything of course.

Bubble Boy leads us to the other Star who played The Bubble Boy - John Travolta!


John Travolta & Jake are both Bubble Boys and both connected to Hair/Hare/Rabbits.

John Travolta connects to Hair/Hare/Rabbits by starring in the John Waters' film Hairspray.

(It should be mentioned that John Waters is visiting Winnipeg next week to give a talk. He speaks on November 4th, same day that NASA does it's flyby of Comet Hartley 2 which just passed by Earth on October 20th)

John TraBOLTa is also a Thunderbird in Grease. He is always combing his hair as seen in the poster.

John Travolta stars with Denzel Washington in Taking Belham 123 about a High-Jacked Subway Train. This movie was released early 2010.

Denzel Washington other 2010 movie also is about a train in trouble and he stars in the soon to be released Unstoppable (November 12).

Recent posters for Unstoppable reveal that the train in question is number 777. The front of the train in the image shows 2 x 777.

7+7+7+7+7+7 = 42.

The front of the train also highlights the V which is 5 in roman numerals. Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun and the medium number between zero & ten.


I'm not up on my Crowley. But I do know 777 plays a syncnificant role in his work.

Unstoppable Jovian EnterTRAINment...

Jake:

Wiki says this about the reason for 777 being titled thus:
The title refers to a lightning flash descending the diagrammatic worlds, the zig-zag pattern suggesting three diminishing 7s

We connected John TraBolta to Trains and see how the number strange attracts to Unstoppable's train.
Jim mentions Anne Hathaway as Agent 99 in Get Smart and we see her hair waving across Steve Carell's face.

JUPITER J=10, U=21, P=16, I=9, T=20, E=5, R=18 thus 10 + 21 + 16 + 9 + 20 + 5 + 18 = 99 Jupiter=99

The Stars Birthday is on 12 November (the same date Unstoppable opens) making her a Scorpio. Love and Other Drugs is released on November/NovaEmber 24. This is the first weekend we have just moved out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius (22 November - 22 December) who's sphere/bubble is Jupiter.
In the night sky Scorpios' Stinger, Sagittarius' Arrow and Ophiuchus' Big Foot point towards the position of Galactic Center.

The time period of transition from Scorp to Sag marked in our consciousness by Bubble Boy/Darko/Jake Gyllenhaal and Agent 99/Jupiter/Anne Hathaway's Love and Other Drugs feels pretty loaded.

The NovaEmber 2010....?
DB/42 Drew fills her bubble with gas... wonder what will happen to it?
Over at IMDB (I'm 42) checking the Star Birthdays for today 28 October and notice the firs two Julia Roberts and Joaquin Phoenix are mentioned in this very post.
Not only are they Scorpios just like Anne Hathaway, Joaquin Phoenix also shows how Phoenix and Scorpio go together.

Jim: Tomorrow, October 30th is the day the world ends in Donnie Darko. It is also the same day that River Phoenix, brother of Joaquin, died at Johnny "Deadman" Depp's Viper Room. River actually died in the early hours of October 31st from drug overdose.

In Winnipeg, October 30th is known as Devil's Night or Gate Night.

Gate Night. G8or Night. The Viper/Kundalini/Phoenix energy rises and is opening the Gates...


Whispers of Sagittarius, the 9th sign of the Zodiac and next in line after Scorpio. The 9th G8.

More....

I just found this cool video and article about Soap Bubbles are great for mimicking Jupiter.

"A small soap bubble can contain swirling patterns that mimic Jupiter's Great Red Spot and hurricanes on Earth, according to a new study." New Scientist






Kevin: Timely that 2010 would bring us an upgrade in psychedelic thriller films. This year houses a new popular underground film called "Enter the Void" focused around DMT culture and set in the modern day, this film explores life between worlds as well as the souls journey to the underworld and back into a new body. Remembering that 2010 resonates strongly with Aleister Crowleys "Aeon of the Child" in which man has become aware of his eternal nature that is beyond the temporary physical body. With this realization coming into the Wests unconscious, themes of reincarnation will likely be moving their way into pop more as we explore and realize our nature through art.











The True Self is the meaning of the True Will:
know Thyself through Thy Way.
Calculate well the Formula of Thy Way.
Create freely; absorb joyously; divide intently;
consolidate completely.
Work thou, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omni present,
in and for Eternity.
-Aleister Crowley-Thoth Tarot-the Magus

dancing in the dark


"we are seeing a movement of energies and forces that are simply beyond the people creating them... a revelation of a pattern and a story, a story that is written by the totality of all things."


"...and I wear my sunglasses at night
so I can, so I can
forget my name..."

smash smash smash


holy green man crossed with janus jesus and jupiter...

...still wrestling with me

there is such a simple, elegant synchronicity in the idea that Hollywood reflects the cultural patterns of the general populations to which it caters.. celebrities are called stars, shining down from the "heavens" that are the top tiers of our earthly universe... the social, political and economic dance that is "celebrity" reflects a concentrated, centralized interpretation of the movements of the masses. as we dance above, so we dance below..

synktabulous



"What is sumo but a dance between giants? 
What is business but a dance between companies? 
I would like to know about every kind of dance." 
-Sayuri Nitta in Memoirs of a Geisha


dancing with the stars

furthermore, "celebrity", rooted in "celebration", is our modern version of the celebration the ancients undertook for literal stars. celebration, dance.. so much about the study of cosmic-scale synchronicity points to joy, while at the same time constantly reminding us of the other side of that coin, the darkness, the deep black, the fear of the "unknown". fitting then, that the concept of a New World Order was introduced to most of us through our worst fear; hell on earth by way of absolute corrupted power enacted by our modern gods- our governments.



"Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the Creator... On many an occasion when I am dancing, I have felt touched by something sacred. In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists. I become the stars and the moon. I become the lover and the beloved. I become the victor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the singer and the song. I become the know-er and the known. 
The Creator and the creation merge into one wholeness of joy."
-Michael Jackson

oooh



in a post that still guides much of my path -"this is not a sync post"- i mused on the artifice of it all.. synk, i mean.. how seeing what isn't has become so crucial to seeing what is. this adds to the beauty of the Hollywood metaphor; the unrealness of synk reflects the fakeness of celebrity culture.. the dance of the stars seems unreal to us here on the ground.. not completely unreal, just so damn far into the deep black we can't always appreciate the connection..


something new, though, is coming now.. and feeling the change that we are being and birthing, we reach out to jupiter and the second sun and.. and to heaven.. to touch..  to connect..

..contact..

and the irony of it all is being revealed.

in the abyss, we need not seek out our connection; the black represents the all as won, when the I is lost, in paradise, swallowed up like light into a black hole in the center, over shadowed... sunglasses over my eyes...

what's all this about sunglasses, then?


...Will..

..Power..

..Change..



um... thassit.

that's all i can see right now.

Revitalisasi HAM Anak : Upaya Aktif dan Progresif Dalam Regenerasi Harapan Bangsa

Lomba Blog Tingkat Nasional 2010
Tema : “Anak Indonesia Harapan Masa Depan”

Revitalisasi HAM Anak : Upaya Aktif dan Progresif Dalam Regenerasi Harapan Bangsa

Berdasarkan data BKKBN (Badan Kependudukan Keluarga Berencana Nasional) tahun 2010, jumlah anak Indonesia yang terancam putus sekolah saat ini mencapai 13 juta yang terdiri dari usia tujuh sampai 15 tahun. Faktor ekonomi menjadi persoalan kompleks yang sampai saat ini dihadapi masyarakat kalangan menengah ke bawah. Tak heran jika banyak keluarga tidak mampu memilih untuk tidak menyekolahkan anak mereka karena terbentur biaya kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari. Fakta ini diperparah dengan meningkatnya biaya pendidikan dari tahun ke tahun.

Kemiskinan membuat mereka terpaksa harus merelakan masa depan anak demi mencari sesuap nasi. Ironis memang, anak yang seyogianya mendapat HAM untuk pendidikan yang layak, justru harus menjadi tulang punggung keluarga. Hal ini dapat kita saksikan sehari-hari di jalan raya. Anak kecil yang masih berusia sepuluh tahun sudah mengamen dari satu kendaraan ke kendaraan lainnya. Keselamatan mereka menjadi taruhan demi mendapat recehan dari para pengendara kendaraan bermotor.

Tak dapat dimungkiri jika tingkat kepedulian terhadap anak di Indonesia masih sangat minim. Pemerintah pun seolah dibuat bungkam dengan fakta anak jalanan yang ada di lapangan. Banyak rancangan dan peraturan dirancang sedemikian rupa, namun implementasi nyata di lapangan masih sebatas utopia belaka. Anak jalanan tetap merajai lampu merah dan berkeliaran dengan gitar mereka. Pemerintah masih belum turun tangan untuk merangkul mereka agar mereka bisa mendapat masa depan mereka.

Memang pemerintah sudah mencanangkan program Sekolah Gratis bagi keluarga yang tidak mampu. Namun upaya ini tidak cukup untuk memberikan kelegaan bagi orang tua. Di satu sisi, Sekolah Gratis yang ada tidak benar-benar “gratis” karena mempunyai embel-embel tertentu, seperti biaya buku pelajaran, seragam, dan perlengkapan sekolah lainnya yang memberatkan orang tua. Di sisi lain, muncul paradigma berbeda dari orang tua anak tersebut. Anak yang semula menjadi mesin uang karena berkeliaran di jalan raya, kini tidak lagi produktif karena sekolah. Muncul anggapan sekolah hanya mengurangi penghasilan mereka sehari-hari, sehingga mereka tetap kukuh untuk tidak menyekolahkan anak mereka.

Sampai saat ini, pemerintah kurang memperjuangkan HAM anak untuk mendapat pendidikan. Kebijakan birokrasi dan pemanfaatan APBN untuk pendidikan yang kurang optimal membuat realisasi HAM ini sangat sulit untuk dilakukan. Apalagi pemerintah “seolah” disibukkan dengan merintis Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional (SBI) untuk meningkatkan gengsi dan eksistensi di kancah internasional. Kondisi ini tentu bertolak belakang dengan nasib jutaan anak yang putus sekolah. Prioritas pemerintah yang tidak ditujukan untuk kesejahteraan anak ini menjadi bumerang dan lingkaran masalah yang tidak terputus dialami oleh anak Indonesia.

Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (KDRT) terhadap anak juga masih marak terjadi di Indonesia. Anak yang dianggap makhluk kecil tak berdaya ini kerapkali menjadi korban kekerasan orang tua mereka. Anak seolah menjadi barang mainan yang dapat dilakukan seenaknya oleh orang tua mereka sendiri. Padahal, anak adalah aset bangsa yang tidak ternilai harganya. Mereka kelak yang akan mewarisi cita-cita dan harapan bangsa ini. Tentu kita tidak ingin mereka mewarisi dendam, kepedihan, dan kebencian di masa mendatang.

RUU KDRT yang saat ini dirancang pun masih belum efektif direalisasikan di lapangan. Anak masih saja menjadi bulan-bulanan orang tua ketika terjadi pertengkaran suami istri. Anak dipukul, disiksa, dan dicaci ketika tidak menurut. Hal ini tentu berdampak buruk pada psikologis anak tersebut. Mereka dibayang-bayangi trauma dan akhirnya mereka menjadi bersikap menyimpang. Hal ini juga sekaligus menjadi pemicu banyaknya kenakalan remaja di Indonesia. Anak merasa bebas dan tidak mau diatur ketika dewasa karena kecewa dengan perlakuan orang tua mereka. KDRT tentu memupuskan harapan bangsa yang ada di tangan anak.

Kita juga masih sering mendengar kasus pelecehan seksual yang dilakukan terhadap anak. Kasus sodomi yang dilakukan Baekuni (49) terhadap anak jalanan asuhannya memicu keprihatinan kita. Apalagi aksi Baekuni yang dikenal dengan julukan Babeh ini diakhiri dengan mutilasi. Hal ini tentu menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak menjadi objek seksual yang empuk bagi orang-orang yang tidak bertanggung jawab. HAM anak dalam hal ini diinjak-injak dan tidak lagi mendapat tempat dalam hati mereka.

Kasus pelecehan ini juga tak jarang dilakukan oleh orang tua mereka sendiri. Anak dipaksa melayani nafsu bejat orang tua dan harus merelakan kesucian mereka direnggut begitu saja. Akibatnya anak menjadi tertutup, trauma, dan tak jarang yang akhirnya memilih bunuh diri sebagai jalan penyelesaian masalah. Mereka tak sanggup menghadapi beban mental yang diakibatkan oleh perilaku bejat orang tua mereka.

Pemerintah masih minim dalam menggiatkan kerja Komnas Perlindungan Anak (KPA) di Indonesia. HAM anak masih saja menjadi barang dagangan yang tidak henti-hentinya diperjualbelikan di Indonesia. Pada akhirnya, anak tidak dapat lagi diandalkan menjadi harapan masa depan karena kualitas pendidikan, mentalitas, dan sikap yang buruk dari pelanggaran terhadap HAM anak. Tentu hal ini patut kita kritisi bersama dan renungkan. Bayangkan jika kader penerus bangsa kita dirusak oleh perilaku amoral oleh generasi sekarang, apa jadinya nasib bangsa ini di masa mendatang.

Anak ibarat sebuah bibit. Mereka akan tumbuh sesuai dengan lingkungan tempat tinggal mereka. Bagaimana didikan, perlakuan, dan pendidikan akan mempengaruhi sikap dan perilaku mereka kelak di masa mendatang. Bagi yang memberi pendidikan dan didikan terbaik, tentu akan menghasilkan anak berprestasi yang potensial sebagai harapan masa depan. Berbeda dengan yang memberi pola asuh dan perlakuan yang buruk, mereka akan menjerumuskan anak ke lubang hitam kegagalan.

Mengingat pentingnya keberadaan anak Indonesia dalam menyongsong masa depan bangsa, tentu kita harus menyiapkan upaya efektif dalam melindungi HAM anak. Hal tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan revitalisasi HAM anak. Hal ini berfungsi sebagai upaya aktif dan progresif dalam regenerasi harapan bangsa. Bagaimana generasi masa kini akan mewariskan kesuksesan mereka pada generasi yang akan datang lewat anak. Tentu dengan adanya revitalisasi ini diharapkan anak dapat meraih masa depan terbaiknya dan menjadi harapan masa depan bangsa yang kelak akan memimpin bangsa ini ke arah yang lebih baik. Hal tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan FRIEND.

F – Family

Keluarga adalah lingkungan pertama dan utama yang akan membentuk karakter anak. Baik buruknya perilaku anak dapat dilihat dari didikan keluarga. Keluarga tentu harus memberikan sikap dan teladan yang baik pada anak. Sikap, tingkah laku, perbuatan, dan pola pikir terhadap suatu hal akan ditiru oleh anak. Tanamkan dalam diri anak bahwa mereka berharga dan menjadi prioritas keluarga.

Dalam hal ini, keluarga harus memfasilitasi anak dengan pendidikan yang baik. Saya terharu melihat program Tolong yang ditayangkan di sebuah stasiun televisi mengisahkan perjuangan seorang ibu untuk mencari nafkah. Ibu itu berkata, “Yang penting, anak saya bisa sekolah. Itu harapan saya sebagai orang tua.” Saya melihat dedikasi dan niat ibu ini sangat besar dalam menyejahterakan nasib anak mereka di masa depan. Paradigma bahwa anak harus lebih baik dari orang tua mereka sangat dijunjung tinggi dan diperjuangkan demi kebaikan anak mereka sendiri. Saya acungkan jempol atas upaya ibu ini.

Kita dapat mencontoh sikap ibu ini terhadap anak. Anak kelak akan mewarisi bangsa ini. Tentu kita ingin bangsa Indonesia lebih maju dari masa ke masa. Anak sebagai tumpuan bangsa di masa depan harus kita pelihara dan didik dengan sebaik mungkin agar memiliki mentalitas yang baik. Lingkungan keluarga akan sangat berpengaruh dalam membentuk jiwa anak. Maka dari itu, sangat penting bagi orang tua untuk mendidik anak mereka dengan sebaik-baiknya dan memenuhi HAM mereka untuk mendapat pendidikan.

R – Responsibility

Pemerintah dan keluarga dalam hal ini bertanggung jawab dan bertugas bahu membahu dalam mempersiapkan anak menjadi kader penerus bangsa yang dapat diandalkan. Bagi pemerintah, hal ini dapat diwujudkan dengan pemberian beasiswa bagi anak yang tidak mampu, menyelenggarakan sekolah gratis yang benar-benar “gratis”, serta mengadakan berbagai kompetisi yang mengasah sportivitas mereka. Bagi keluarga, memenuhi hak anak dalam memperoleh pendidikan, asupan gizi yang cukup, dan keamanan menjadi tanggung jawab yang harus dielam hal ini, pendidikan karakter sangat dibutuhkan anak dalam pembentukan intmban dan ditanamkan sejak dini.

Upaya ini diharapkan dapat membuat anak merasa nyaman dan aman untuk mendapatkan HAM mereka. Anak dapat memperkaya diri mereka dengan pendidikan dan pengetahuan yang ada. Kelak mereka juga akan mempelajari generasi masa kini dan berupaya menjadi generasi masa depan yang dapat diandalkan. ntuk mengembangkan potensinya secara maksimal dan terarah.

I – Integrity

Integritas sangat penting untuk ditanamkan dalam diri anak. Apalagi didasari fakta bahwa Indonesia saat ini sedang mengalami krisis kepemimpinan. Pemimpin yang duduk di bangku pemerintahan dapat dikatakan tidak mampu mengemban amanat rakyat. Dalam hal ini, pendidikan karakter sangat dibutuhkan anak dalam pembentukan integritas. Integritas akan menuntun anak menjadi pemimpin yang tegas, displin, dan bermoral tinggi. Tentu hal ini juga sekaligus akan mengurangi angka korupsi yang dilakukan pemimpin di masa mendatang. Dengan prinsip seia sekata, anak akan belajar untuk menjadi pribadi yang konsisten dan memiliki passion untuk memajukan Indonesia.

E – Education

Pendidikan memegang peranan penting bagi masa depan anak. Pendidikan akan menjadi katalisator dalam pembangunan bangsa. Anak akan belajar untuk kritis dan responsif dalam menanggapi berbagai persoalan krusial yang saat ini sedang dihadapi bangsa kita. Pendidikan juga menjadi indikator sejauh manakah kualitas anak Indonesia di mata dunia. Maka dari itu, pendidikan sangat penting untuk didapatkan anak guna mempersiapkan mereka menjadi generasi penerus bangsa yang berkualitas.

N – Nationality

Akhir-akhir ini, rasa nasionalisme yang dimiliki bangsa kita sangat memprihatinkan. Banyak anak muda yang tidak menghargai budaya dan tradisi bangsa kita yang begitu beragam. Alasannya bermacam-macam. Takut dianggap jadul, kolot, dan culun membuat anak muda menjadi begitu anti terhadap hal yang berbau tradisi Indonesia. Padahal budaya dan tradisi Indonesia merupakan kekayaan bangsa yang tidak ternilai harganya.

Ironisnya, bangsa kita baru bertindak ketika ada negara lain yang ingin mengambil alih budaya bangsa kita. Tari Pendet, misalnya. Ketika tari Indonesia ini jatuh ke tangan negeri tetangga, kita seakan kebakaran jenggot. Berbagai upaya dan gerakan “ganyang” dilakukan untuk menunjukkan kepedulian. Hal ini tentu sangat memprihatinkan karena mentalitas bangsa kita masih labil. Rasa nasionalisme yang ada pun sangat minim dan terancam punah karena adanya arus globalisasi. Globalisasi membuat sebagian orang ingin menjadi dan mengikuti budaya negara lain yang pada akhirnya akan menempatkan bangsa kita menjadi follower, bukan trendsetter bagi masyarakat dunia.

Minimnya rasa nasionalisme pada diri anak juga tampak dalam dunia pendidikan. Hampir semua anak berlomba-lomba untuk bersekolah di luar negeri. Mereka menilai pendidikan di luar negeri jauh lebih baik daripada pendidikan di Indonesia. Setelah lulus, mereka ibarat kacang lupa dengan kulitnya. Mereka pun akhirnya memilih tinggal menetap di luar negeri dengan asumsi bahwa Indonesia negeri yang sangat tidak bersahabat. Padahal perlu mereka ketahui bahwa seburuk-buruknya Indonesia tetaplah bangsa yang sudah melahirkan mereka menjadi manusia hingga saat ini.

Rasa nasionalisme dapat ditanamkan lewat pelajaran Sejarah. Pengajar dapat mendidik siswa untuk mengetahui bagaimana perjuangan para pahlawan pada masa penjajahan dalam memperjuangkan kemerdekaan Indonesia. Tentu sebagai anak bangsa, kita harus mengisi kemerdekaan dengan prestasi dan kebanggaan terhadap hal yang telah mereka wariskan. Rasa tanggung jawab akan kelangsungan dan eksistensi bangsa ini dapat menjadi modal awal yang baik untuk menumbuhkan rasa nasionalisme dalam diri anak.

Upaya menumbuhkan rasa nasionalisme ini harus ditanamkan sejak dini oleh orang tua setiap anak. Berikan pemahaman bahwa bangsa ini adalah perjuangan dan hasil pengorbanan para pahlawan. Kebanggaan yang muncul dalam diri anak akan memberi mereka tantangan untuk memajukan bangsa ini lebih baik dari sebelumnya sebagai wujud ucapan terima kasih mereka. Akhirnya, rasa nasionalisme itu akan muncul dan dapat dituangkan dalam berbagai bentuk, seperti memakai batik, menari jaipong, dan berbagai hal lainnya.

D – Destination

Anak Indonesia harus mempunyai tujuan yang ingin dicapai. Dalam hal ini, anak harus mempunyai visi dan misi untuk hidup mereka ke depan. Apa yang akan mereka lakukan dalam membangun bangsa ini menjadi bangsa yang maju? Tentu pemahaman akan tujuan hidup ini harus diperkenalkan lewat lembaga pendidikan. Sekolah berfungsi untuk menelusuri potensi dan bakat anak. Sekolah juga harus memberikan wadah yang tepat agar potensi anak dapat terarah dan dioptimalkan dengan sebaik-baiknya.

Ketika anak sudah mengetahui tujuan hidupnya, mereka tentu akan lebih bersemangat dalam mengisi hari-hari mereka dengan kegiatan positif. Mereka dapat mengembangkan bakat dan minat mereka secara efektif. Hal ini dapat menjadi modal yang baik bagi negara karena bisa mendapat bibit-bibit unggul harapan bangsa yang bisa memajukan Indonesia kelak di masa mendatang. Dedikasi dan kesungguhan dalam meraih tujuan yang dimiliki anak juga akan membuat mereka berpikir kreatif, aktif, dan terbuka dalam memajukan bangsa Indonesia dengan lebih baik. Pendidikan akan membuat mereka berpikiran terbuka dan dapat mengakomodasi apa yang baik untuk diikuti dan menghindari hal yang buruk.

Upaya revitalisasi HAM anak di atas diharapkan dapat menjadi upaya aktif dan progresif dalam regenerasi harapan bangsa. Anak dibekali dengan harapan, ilmu, cita-cita, sikap, mentalitas, dan karakter yang baik untuk memajukan bangsa ini. Regenerasi harapan bangsa yang diharapkan pun dapat direalisasikan dengan baik karena anak sudah mempunyai modal awal yang baik untuk membangun bangsa ini kelak. Bangsa ini dapat keluar dari krisis multidimensional yang saat ini sedang terjadi, asalkan pemerintah dan keluarga mampu melakukan revitalisasi terhadap HAM anak dan mempersiapkan anak menjadi aset harapan masa depan yang tidak ternilai harganya.
