December 21, 2012

2012-01-11T05:31:00.001-08:00

With all the buzz about the coming "end of the world" prophesies, I thought I would post an essay for us on the December 21, 2012 date in history.

_________________________________________________________________________

Alexander King, on the New Age Dawning (Dec. 21, 2012)

What is the meaning of this fated date? I’ll attempt to answer that astrologically and astronomically. I’ve studied the chart for this date and time for a while now. These are my interpretations.

Lore has it that humankind is in our 5th age. According to several ancient traditions, the farther away from the galactic core (center of our galaxy) our planet gets, the more disconnected we become from each other and our Earth. The good news is that at December 21, 2012, the position of Earth in our galaxy begins to once again move closer to the galactic center. Dec. 21, 2012 is the point where we are the furthest from the core; the super sun of the galaxy so to speak.

Most of the prophecies of the ancients were letting us know that it is up to us as to the manner of the transition into a new age that begins at this time. That is why they were warning us about it with the monuments and other structures. I am of the opinion that each of us, everyone, has a part to play in how well the transition goes into the new age. That even our individual choices in our day to day lives can make a big difference.

But even if there comes much calamity, the over-arching idea is that when the transition is over, we will have a better, more peaceful world to live in. Edgar Cayce, known as “the sleeping prophet,” had two separate visions of this time in his readings, the first vision was of much turmoil for the transition, but the second one that came later in his life was of a more gradual and gentle one.

Here is my astrological interpretation of this fated date and time in history.

Looking at the chart for Dec. 21, 2012, I must say it doesn’t look like any ordinary day at all! There is a pattern in the chart that is know as the Yod, or fated day, involving two of the malefics, Pluto and Saturn, with the object planet being Jupiter. The other Malefic, Mars is found in the house of endings. The Sun is square Uranus, the Sun being the most important point in a chart and it is in a hard aspect to Uranus the planet of sudden and drastic change. The moon is in Aries that day, a moon of war or at least lots of energy and impatience.

Back to the Yod pattern in the chart. The slow moving planets involved in the Yod are in almost exact aspect, just a few minutes off among the three. That is highly unusual, and the object (the problem to be solved) is Jupiter and it’s found in the fourth house of the home. If home here is the world and the tools to solve the problem involve, power, death, time, and limitations, we have a recipe for a very important day indeed….

On the other hand, an individual’s personal natal chart can indicate how they will fare during this period in our history. I don’t think it’s the end of the world on a global scale (like a meteor snuffing out all life) but something will likely happen to make people question everything!

Here’s an interesting point. Humanity will have to own up to being too selfish and hypocritical. At the risk of being too preachy, I will say that those of us who have examined and accepted our dark side will fare better as a whole. There will be the beginning of a shift in philosophy, a new religion or spirituality will begin to supplant the old, more rigid religions. There will be an unraveling from a kind of strait jacket. Pluto and its placement here will actually be one of the better tools for humanity at this time. It will be in a place to usher in the death (transformation – end of old beginning of new) in a more orderly way.

Also in the chart there is a square between expansive Jupiter (involved in that Yod) in the house of the home and watery Neptune . This is an aspect for flooding. Venus being in the center of the Yod, between Pluto and Saturn, and opposite Jupiter, means, among other things, that humanity has overindulged or that over indulging is part of the problem with the shake up that is going on. Jupiter’s involvement, the Sagittarius MC and Venus in Sagittarius all indicate that the problems and solutions are connected with religion and philosophy.

Finally, the north node found in Scorpio in the 9th house, adds more weight to the notion of this chart being one whereby the native, in this case, humanity, now needs to let go of the fear of loosing everything. We will have to learn to trust in things other than the material and wealth. We are going to be moving (transforming) into a people who put more of our eggs in the basket of the spiritual. It is the true end of the age of Pisces and the beginning of the age of Aquarius.

Perhaps those who get what is going on at this time and are in tune with it at the highest level, will be in a position to become immortal or have an absolute knowledge of the continuity of life – that the physical death is just a doorway to a different and better existence. People of this mind will usher in the new age with a new thinking that relies on things other than getting rich, grabbing power over others, and the fears of living and dying.

A phrase comes to my mind; “immortality consciousness.” I see Immortality Consciousness as one major theme of the new, 6th age of humankind.

Jedi Manual Intermediate, The Path of Truth

The first book of this series, Jedi Manual Basic, Introduction to Jedi Knighthood, introduces to the reader the requirements for becoming a Jedi Knight. There are examples of how others have accomplished this and what it means to be a Knight. Basic, covers some Jedi philosophy, religious aspects and hands-on techniques that Jedi Knights can use. An important element of the first book is the identification of the twelve paths of the Jedi Knight.

Jedi Manual Intermediate, The Path of Truth, focuses the study. If “Basic,” is a summary of the many aspects, “Intermediate,” is a focus on the essential. It provides you with many more tools for your path of evolution and helps you find the right questions to ask yourself; questions designed to help you delve deep within to find your own answers. It is your answers that ultimately are the truth; your truth. And it is with truth that Jedi are armed for making the world a better place for themselves and others.

New Fiction from Oaklight Publishing

The New Religion

2011-03-10T15:41:00.000-08:00

Check out, The New Religion, By Alan Lucia: http://dreamz-work.com/products/The-New-Religion.html

Now in paperback!

Are you Buddhist or Jewish or Shinto? Have you lived within the social dictates of Islam or Christianity? Do you still hold strongly to one of these well established social structures?

The similarities between these groups are interesting to consider, bringing them close together as they seek to better the human condition. But at the same time, their differences can be all but impossible to reconcile.

Enter the ‘new kid on the block:’ without concern for the struggles existing between our world’s competing schools of religious thought. Yes, this new perspective has been heralded by many to be a new religion in-the-making, while others have turned a deaf ear to its proclamations. This new view, to many an attentive seeker, is the collective application of droves of recorded and published recollections regarding today’s world-wide UFO phenomenon.

UFOLOGY: The new religion? Much like the ancient legends that lend credence to our world’s traditional religions, evidence of unexplained ufological phenomena can be traced back many thousands of years!

Alan Lucia’s breakaway book compels us to deeply consider newly introduced alien teachings; laying the foundation for a world-wide philosophy that could potentially unite humanity in ways older teachings have never managed.

One thing is certain in all of this. . . We are not alone!

2011-03-03T21:23:00.000-08:00

Tobias Peters was human until the day he died, trying to save his best friend. Upon the moment of his death, an angel appeared and asked him a favor from God.

“Become the Angel of Death.”

So begins Tobias's long journey through time until the day he falls in love with a mortal. They have a son together, but Tobias's wife is burnt at the stake for the crime of witchcraft and his son goes missing, lost in Time itself.

Tobias is drawn to a young man named Harvey White. Together, they quickly discover that all is not well with the world. The Demons are trying to free Evuhl from its Seal, to bring chaos and destruction to the world. It is up to the Angel of Death to make sure that doesn't happen.

Can Tobias really prevent innocent people from dying, all the while trying to work out just who Harvey really is? One thing is for certain—the world needs the Angel of Death now more than ever.

The Philosopher's Stone for the Transformation of Jupiter: Project Lucifer

By J. Edward Carper

Available for the Kindle (click here) and for the Nook (click here)

Strange things have been happening on Jupiter recently. “Multiple impacts…” we are told, “Jupiter gets hit all of the time…”, they are lately saying, but only a few years ago astronomers promised us that planetary impacts, larger ones that could be seen from Earth, were very rare, “one in a thousand years” on Jupiter. We have now been told we have witnessed four separate viewable “Jupiter hits” in only 17 years.

Suddenly, we have to wonder, “Is Jupiter really getting smacked this much, or is something else extraordinary going on, especially in light of the fact that each said ‘impact’ is suspicious in nature?”

J. Edward Carper poses this question and more, and provides an alternative theory that is scientifically plausible to what may actually be happening on Jupiter.
“The Philosopher’s Stone for the Transformation of Jupiter – Project Lucifer” is not a book to miss or take lightly, and may very well hold some of the most important information for the coming years regarding a complete solar-system-changing event.

Check it out!

Also coming soon to Kindle, Nook and iBooks

Author of "Taking 1960" Explores the 1800s

2010-11-17T13:50:00.000-08:00

Hello, Dreamz-Work readers. It is with trepidation that I write this entry, mainly due to the fact that I have been empty of words for quite some time now. For about a year since I moved to Florida, every word I have written has felt forced, and every story that I concoct, no matter how well-planned, will not emerge on paper.

This month is National Novel Writing Month, and I have been participating since 2006. However, several days have gone by and I haven't been able to write. Maybe I can't. Maybe I won't. Maybe the words just aren't there. Sometimes it is hard to tell. Nevertheless, I would like to share with you the beginnings of a great project, quite possibly the most difficult that I have ever attempted.

Since I came to North Palm Beach in January, I have had this story knocking around in my head. I have been toying around with various character ideas and studying Florida frontier life. I went to a lecture on the Second Seminole War at one of the battlegrounds, I have spoken with civil war re-enactors, and I have been bouncing my ideas off a few older friends. I think I have settled on the year 1890 for my setting. So the author of Taking 1960 has decided to "take" 1890 as well.

When most people think of Florida, they think of Disney, Orlando and Daytona Beach. When I first came here, I didn't think that Florida had much of a history. I'm in the middle of a cultural melting pot, and I said to myself, “How can there be a real history here? Where is it?” So rather than write it off completely (excuse the pun), I began to dig. And the more I dug, the more I discovered.

The first “cowboys” were in Florida. The Spanish brought horses, cows and pigs to this place before they were brought anywhere else. And the people who lived in the wilderness and worked to find a better future were called crackers—the true definition of a cracker is nothing even close to what people think of it today.

One could go on and on about the beginnings of the state, and the bravery of the Seminoles who refused to give up their land to the whites. There's a lot of tragedy in these stories, especially if you delve into the history of the natives who lived here, who were forced out of their homes and into the West.

My story will focus on a girl, Muireann, and her new life in Florida. She comes here and doesn't fit in, because she's dealing with a horrible secret. And soon she discovers that the only person she can really relate to is an Indian man, whose friendship becomes a part of the support system that will save her life.

Through this story, I intend to show my readers how horribly the Seminoles were treated, and what it might have been like for a woman whose circumstances nearly destroy her psychologically. Now, if I could only get writing . . .

I'll let you know when I do!

Hello fans and followers of Dreamz-Work and its authors. I've just got to let you all know about some of the projects we are working on, books in the pipeline so to speak. First, one of our newest authors Mark Knight, of Wayki Wayki fame, has authored a new book, "Trinity of Wisdom" that takes you on an incredible spiritual journey that comes from the heart of a man who made the journey himself. It covers so much, I can't begin to list it all here in this blog post, but if you go to our site and look under "Coming Soon," you'll see it all listed there. http://dreamz-work.com

I'm proud of all of our authors, especially Rosa Sophia, who has not only written a magnificent piece of fiction in "Taking 1960," but has also taken to the task of marketing her work with great enthusiasm and energy, as any author in today's literary world has to, in order to make it. We are so impressed with her talent and energy, we've asked her to join our team at DWP. I'm happy to say that she accepted gladly!

In "The New Religion," T. Alan Lucia, another very promising new DWP author, brings together many ideas about UFOlogy and how it fits in with other religious thinking and is indeed a religion in its own right. Many mysteries are revealed in the pages of his new book and the answers bring up new questions. I am personally eager to read what he's been writing.

For me, I’m keeping my dreamz alive and well with the writing of a second Jedi manual, and the turning of my fantasy novel, Dream Crossing into a screenplay.

There is so much more to tell you about; our marvelous musicians and artists that work for us, and the special things Rev. Smith is cooking up, but I’ll save some for other posts and for our members themselves to speak up about.
