Neptune's transits and natal position reflect where we need to dissolve
the
rigid and self centered focus from being oriented around ego. Neptune
in
Capricorn dissolved many boundaries of status and material gain etc.
Our system
has been forever changed by the recognition that -for example the stock
market
is really maintained by nothing more than belief-since a realistic
appraisal
would crash it into oblivion based on "facts."
Neptune in Aquarius will dissolve the boundaries ego has constructed
relative
to a recognition of our personal creative interaction with one another
and how
we give love. This is being played out to some degree here on the
usenet
groups. It has been said that certain persons are kooks-one of the
things that
dissolves boundaries is compassion and empathy. We see "kooks" everyday
sitting
or standing by the stoplights (at least here in La Jolla) who for one
reason or
another cannot believe in their own creative force to create the
reality they
prefer-hence they beg for food or work etc. (some of course are
scammers)-but
if these persons are "kooks" what would a person be who torments them
and
taunts them?
Our compassion needs evolving along with reason-the age of Aquarius
will be the
age when reason and intuition merge and blend into one knowing
consciousness.

Innovation" is simply the conscious minds waking up to the recognition
of the
unlimited creative power of the whole self, and that we have a choice
in the
creation of our reality.

"Problems" are the effect of the belief in separation and the
resistance to
growth in a direction DIFFERENT from expectations. Aquarius has much to
do with
EXPECTATIONS and our "goals" or "hopes" are often just unrealistic
expectations.

There will always be those who welcome developmental tension and change
and
grow and experience no "turmoil" (like myself") despite what others
"believe"
they are experiencing-these will be the persons who have allowed
EXPECTATIONS
to dissolve and allow whatever is there to be there for a
reason-KNOWING it is
the product of their creative force and therefore ALLOW it to be
innovative- a
new way to experience an "old" idea.

Resistance to growth and judgments are what cause pain and
suffering-and as
always, there will be some who grow and change and some who stay
"stuck" in the
old paradigm. There is no "thats the way it will be for everyone"
because each
and every individual LIVES ON A DIFFERENT EARTH. The one we see is the
one we
believe is the "real" one. Therefore as always it will be an outer
marker so to
speak (Neptune's transit) of the changing consciousness toward
creatorhood
interactions and appreciation of each others uniqueness-but each will
create
their version of what it "is".

Planets and things outside the self reflect our consciousness because
our
consciousness is not IN our body-but our body is IN and moves through
our
consciousness (the very reason that astrology "works" to begin with).
They do
not "provide" anything but a reflection of what we have en mass decided
to
collectively create as the "collective consciousness" issue at this
timing.

Integration is the key to any "brighter tomorrow"-that is functioning
and
ACTING like a INTEGRAL whole being knowing that we are as powerful as
we need
to be to create whatever we desire to create in our reality-Neptune's
transit
of Aquarius will allow us-or those inclined and willing-to dissolve the
judgments of "worth" and possessions as being a determinant of
"creative force
or resourcefulness"-and that love is truly recognizing the unlimited
co-creative ability of beings to create preference through this
understanding.

Climactic changes like ALL external changes are the effect of the
change in
consciousness of those who create it -US.

Surprising and shocking things are only that way to those who resist
waking up
to the infinite power of their own creatorhood...

Yes, by eliminating our "shells" of defense as seen here by these
so-called
skeptics-removing ourselves from the true sources of issues by
labeling, and
creating "images" of what we FEAR things are rather than directly
confronting
and dealing with the ISSUES we have.

It is simply the time to wake up-and dream the dream you prefer to

Better is a subjective value judgment-but a more integral or acting
from
KNOWINGNESS and empowerment will definitely be the issue-especially in
February
and March of 98 when we start to real-ize the vastness of our "world"
by
including space and beyond.
We need to be able to transform this "shell" defensive response to
issues and
deal with the heart of our creatorhood.

It is the return of the grail-nature INTENDS the grail-that we and our
world
are one-we must integrate the native American spiritual growth and the
European
industrial intellectual growth into ONE COHERENT KNOWING MENTALITY THAT
ACTS
FROM CONVICTION-TRUST-UNDERSTANDING-TRUTH-INSPIRATION WITH FULL
ACCEPTANCE AND
DISMISSAL OF EXPECTATIONS. That THE TRUTH is the composition of ALL
truths-this
is the return of the Christ consciousness-that I and the father are one
in the
same-INTEGRAL is the message from all time and history.

The EQUALITY AND VALIDITY OF ALL BEINGS WITHIN THE "ALL THAT IS"
CO-CREATING
AND LIVING AS ONE.
Tis up to each and every one in this the transformational age-but
transformation is NOT the product of mediocrity-as always it will
require
boldness, strength and conviction acting from trust. Before kingdoms
can
change-MEN must change.

We deserve happiness, abundance and ecstasy JUST BECAUSE WE EXIST.
We don't need any other reasons. Here lies your truth.
"Sail away, sail away, sail away, Carry me on the waves to the lands
I've never
seen, carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been-we can sigh
and say
goodbye (sail away, sail away, sail away) we can see it, we can see
it." Enya
