HERE AND NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

This September 2020 Q&A Blog (#211!) is different.  There have been so many people asking me what’s going on in the world now, that I have decided to devote an entire blog post to “Here and Now,” “Who You Are,” and “What We Can Learn from Near-Death Experiences.”  Blessings to all, PMH Atwater

Using the astrological chart of our nation, in 2022 we (meaning all of us Americans, our Congress, our Nation) are experiencing a Pluto Return.  The orb of Pluto is much too long for humans to experience during their lifetime, but nation’s can and we are.  Because of the power of Pluto and the way it challenges us, please know that the Pluto Return actually lasts from 2020 (now) to 2024 (ahead of us).  Interestingly enough, though, that covers our next Presidential Term of Office, not just the election.  

Under any type of encounter with Pluto, anything hidden is revealed!  You could compare Pluto energy to Scorpio energy.  There is no such thing as a “middle” with Pluto.  Either it’s very good or very awful---but no middle.  Pluto is the transformer.  Not just a change agent but a “down-to-your-toes-and-including-your-toenails” TRANSFORMER!

Nothing stays the same under this type of energy/scrutiny/challenge/smash.  Nothing, and no one.  Whoever wins this election in our country, loses.  Doesn’t matter Bidden or Trump.  What is really happening here is that the underscore of our nation, the true underground/anything undone, missed, or ignored is surfacing.  Because of the power of the way Pluto is hitting us (all of us) our entire planet is being similarly “cleansed.”  Doesn’t matter how positive you are or how negative.  Our planet, the world’s people, everyone’s soil/plants/growing things - everything - and doubly our nation, everyone’s nation, is, and will continue to go through a universal ringer the likes of which we have not seen before.  Last time this type of thing happened and to this degree and involving the planet as it is, was 25,920 years ago.  That’s because this is not just another cyclic change.  It is the turning of the Cosmic Clock (not just a cycle no matter how large).  

This particular “turn” into the greater threshold began (the great changing or shift) in the fall of 2007.  Look back and see what happened then.  January 12th this year “announced” that we’re now fully here.  This truly is it.  We must now live what we know to be true.  

As this is all happening, the Age of Pisces is leaving.  No, it isn’t fully gone yet.  The Age of Aquarius is coming in.  Not fully here yet either, but ready to begin its “reign.”  What we are living in, then, is an OVERLAP.  Both ages are here, stacked one atop the other.  That’s why everything is peaking, why challenges appear overwhelming.  Energy now is RADICAL.  We’re getting both Ages at the same time.  Suicides among children and young people are beginning to peak.  This bothers me.  I know it is because we are deprived of socialization, but somehow we must find a way to help our children handle life in a new way.  We can and we will.

Welcome to THE GREAT SHIFTING.  How do we handle it?  We live what we know to be true!  If you do not have a source of regular, dependable spiritual upliftment, find one.  Whether prayer, “virtual” church services, meditation, spiritual encouragement, positive stories that uplift (like near-death cases), family bonding, pets, gardens, helping others, volunteering, music, art, zoom chats with people you can trust who live what they know to be true in the highest fashion of love and joy, whatever you find that speaks to your heart - stay there or go there often.  If you haven’t learned yet how to bake bread, do that.  You can’t fool yeast.  Only what is ready will rise!!!!!!!!!!!!  Life is wondrous.  Live yours accordingly.  Live the real you, who you are.

WHO YOU ARE

In the Bible it says: 

 

“Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” John 10:34.  “I have said, ye are gods, and all of you are children of  the most high.”  Psalm 82:6

Most people who undergo a spiritual transformation, near-death experience, Kundalini breakthrough, mystical union, even in prayer or a sudden illumination, come to realize the truth of this.  You can too.  Begin NOW.  No matter where you are in your life, who you are, the conditions that surround you, your health…..NOW is your key so begin.  One way you  can do this is by reading then following the suggestions in the Manual highlighted below  No, this is not some “new age” manual.  This one is for today, every day, every year, everyone.  Begin with……………..

A MANUAL FOR DEVELOPING HUMANS

In olden times “hu” was considered to be the sound of God.  “Hu-man” meant God-Man, God-Woman.  This is literal.  You are of God, in God, with God, as God, from God - because - you are a god in the making just by being who you are.  The Manual shows you how.  It is written in a Fifth-Dimensional Format - in six sections.  Each one contains conscious (left-brain), subconscious (right brain), and superconscious (whole brain/spiritual) ways and means.  All simple, and with thoughtform drawings.  This Manual was revealed to me during my third near-death experience by The Voice Like None Other.  When it came time to actually write it, that Voice showed me how (no channeling occurred).  

Who you are, being that, is how you live and thrive from now on.

WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM NEAR-DEATH 

EXPERIENCES

The truisms that follow came from over 43 years of near-death research with both adults and children.

Death does not end life.

Only the scenery changes at death.

Many see departed loved ones, pets, birds, angels.

Light can predominate:  

white/bright, dark/black, or a power beyond

light that is impossible to describe.

We are all more capable/smarter 

than we think we are.

Mind is endless - only thoughts limit.

Everyone is psychic, creative, inventive, loved.

Life is worth its living.

There is a Central Source of Existence.  

Some call this God, Allah, or

Hundreds Of Other Names For Deity.

All healing is based on the willingness to change.

So is forgiveness.

Prayer is real and it works.

Children see prayer as a bright 

or rainbow-banded light that passes

from sender to receiver.

Love is the only standard that exists.

Choice is the only process.

In these strange times, know that you have a purpose, and that you are loved.  PMH

NDE's and Astrological Charts

QUESTION

"Within the past three years I have learned that I had two life events one may call near-death experiences. The second NDE was probably the one that should have ended everything but that was in 1988 and here I am today.

"Does one's astrological chart change when they come back to life? This thought has really bothered me and I am hoping that you can clear it up. My concrete thinking suggest that the person now has a new horoscope, since they have returned back to life different: day, hour, and location. Maybe you can sort this one out. And with this idea, then the person's numerology report  -  does it also change?

"I had one of those NDE experiences without the bright lights, tunnel of light, did not meet anyone on the other side, and basically came back to earth in a very tired state. I was quite depressed after the NDE in 1988, and that was the only time I thought about suicide. Life has changed so much since then. I would really appreciate some clarity about what I asked you. Hopefully it will put the nagging question to an end.". . . Diana

ANSWER

I have done no research about redrawing one's astrological chart after a near-death experience. So, I cannot give any kind of answer that carries weight. I can say that some experiencers are absolutely convinced that their chart changed, and they now use a new chart drawn up afterward. Since I had three such experiences in three months, I toyed with this myself. Here's what I found in my case, using my third near-death experience as the main date to focus on:

• 1. Preparing a chart of the near-death experience itself and comparing it to my birth chart did help me to understand what was going on, possibly why, and what I could learn from the whole episode. This gave me a better sense of newness in light of understanding what could very well be the purpose of that newness.
• 2. My original birth chart still remained the underlying current of energy running throughout my life, and it continued to prove helpful to me as the main roadmap I should use. The chart of my last NDE functioned more as a nodal access to the change that happened, rather than becoming a new birth chart.

Since the vast majority of near-death experiencers have no concept of the actual moment of death or shift, nor is there any reason why they should, drawing up a new birth chart is riff with problems and difficulties. You could easily wind up kidding yourself, even if a psychic helped you or a channeler gave you the information. Doing this bothers me.

A new chart I did prepare did not replace my original. After I looked at the new one, I threw it away. Doing charts of the actual episodes (estimating times), and then comparing that with my original birth cart proved to be extremely useful, enlightening, and very helpful. The impact of each event, along with the sum of the three, was quite clear.

It's the same basic logic with numerology. Your birth name remains your main roadmap, no matter how long you live or how many times your name changes. Any change sets up a new pattern that shows how you are using what you came in with now, but it doesn't change what's original. That imprint is forever your main patterning.

Take the movie star John Wayne. We knew him as John Wayne and that name was helpful to him, made a huge difference in how he was seen, yet his birth name remained his overseeing guide and event planner. All of his marriages, loves, children, excesses, health problems, and eventual death  -  ALL SHOW UP QUITE PLAINLY IN THE PATTERN OF HIS ORIGINAL NAME, NOT HIS CHANGED NAME. John Wayne was a persona he took on, the part he played, but Marion Robert Morrison was the man himself, how he lived, and how he died. In any religious tradition, once you go through a transformation of consciousness or reach a certain age, you get a new name. That sets up a new pattern for you  -  of how you can alter what you came in with. The original name, though, holds the original pattern, and that remains valid. I can't help but feel that one's date of birth (the birth chart) is similar to the naming process in the sense of patterning and what we can learn from changes to that pattern.

I'm certain there are many who will argue with me about this, but I stand on experience and the patterns I have noticed throughout decades of research and living.

Sun Sign Astrology

I usually carry questions and answers on my blog.  This time it is an article about Sun Sign Astrology.  Now, hold on, don’t be confused about this. Occasionally I do deviate, and the topic really concerns more than just one’s sun sign – whether you are a Taurus or a Leo or a Gemini.  What the following article by Julie Loar looks at is why astrology works, even though the zodiacal belt of stars and stories slowly moves along, changing degree of arc.  Because of this - the precession of the equinoxes - scientists claim that astrology is sheer bunk and has no place in the modern world.  Yet, readings still fit.  A Taurus still acts and looks like a Taurus, at least basically.  What is missing in our understanding of astrology is that it is based on the seasons, as well as the stars, thus comprising the best archetypical arrangement of life’s passages and the psychology of those passages that has ever been developed.  To use astrology to determine one’s actions and choices is the misuse of astrology.  It’s main and best function is that of a map, a guide, showing one his or her assets and liabilities, stress points, skills, and so forth.  It spells out the “territory” at hand.  It does NOT tell you where you are going or who you will be.  And like any good map, astrology provides the type of data that may make it easier for you to live a positive and constructive life.  You do the deciding.  Not astrology.

Julie Loar, who wrote this article, is pretty good at what she does and has a broad and expansive knowledge base to use.  You’ll recognize that right away once you begin reading.  If you want to reach her blog, you may do so at http://julieloar.wordpress.com.  She has three websites you may want to look at.  They are:

The zodiac signs, which do NOT change with time, as they are based on the seasons

I hope you enjoy her article, which now follows:

Has your astrological sign changed?  

I’ve had lots of questions since recent newspaper articles reported the sensational claim by Minnesota astronomer, Parke Kunkle that people’s astrological signs have changed.  Well, that’s not true, but it does require a bit of technical explanation.  Rest easy, your sign has not changed, and your identity is not at risk, but there is a bigger picture to consider.

The astrological signs are based on the seasons, and are divisions of time, beginning with spring equinox, which is the symbolic birth of the year.  This is the point when the balance of light and dark achieves momentary equilibrium, before tilting toward increasing light.  The opposite point is autumn equinox. Every year the Earth makes a full circle around the Sun, and every year without fail, the sign of Aries begins at spring equinox.  Then, every month (or so), in thirty-degree segments of the yearly circle, a new sign begins.

However, what does change is Earth’s position relative to the stars over a very slow passage of time.  Scientists believe it’s caused by the Earth’s wobble.  Earth wobbles as she spins and is also inclined on her axis of rotation. This tilt creates the seasons, and the wobble creates the phenomenon called Precession of the Equinoxes. This movement goes “backward” through the zodiac instead of the annual direction that is more familiar.  This slow motion causes two changes in the sky from our viewing perspective on Earth. Like a slowly spinning top, our planet’s axes trace imaginary circles in the heavens drawn by the Earth’s poles. As the orientation of the North Pole shifts relative to the circumpolar stars, a different North Star slowly moves into position over thousands of years.  The same is true of the Earth’s south pole and the southern stars.  This imaginary stylus moves at the rate of roughly one degree of arc in seventy-two years.

An additional byproduct of this wobble causes spring equinox sunrise (in the northern hemisphere), to occur due east against a backdrop of stars which slowly shifts.  Because this event occurs on the ecliptic, (the apparent path of the sun through the year), the stellar backdrop is formed by the slowly moving starry curtain of the twelve zodiacal constellations. Astronomically, the zodiac constellations are in a circular band of sky, eight degrees above and below the ecliptic.  This space contains the familiar star patterns from the Ram to the Fishes, as well as stars and deep sky objects.  

Called the Great Year, and composed of twelve cosmic months, which are the astrological ages, this cycle lasts roughly 26,000 years.  Because the sky shifts, the astrological signs are no longer aligned with the constellations that gave them their names.  About 4,000 years ago the stars of Aries rose at spring equinox.  Now it is the last of the stars of Pisces, but it is still the annual onset of spring in the northern hemisphere that heralds the sign of Aries.  

In the past, different cultures have imagined the stars as different “pictures” and had different zodiacs, but since 1930 astronomers around the world have agreed on eighty-eight constellations.  Zodiacal constellations are twelve of the eighty-eight divisions of space recognized by the International Astronomers Union.  Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, also mentioned by Kunkle, is a thirteenth constellation that is also in the zodiac region, but is ordinarily not part of the traditional zodiac.  However, the indigenous Maya have thirteen constellations in their zodiac.

For roughly two thousand years, spring equinox sunrise has occurred against the stars of Pisces, The Fishes, which rise in pre-dawn darkness before the Sun. Soon, as the backward march shifts, the "dawning of the Age of Aquarius" will be heralded as this constellation moves to center stage and defines the new world age. Three to four thousand years ago the stars of Aries provided the backdrop for spring equinox sunrise. Before that the stars of Taurus held the distinction. As the ages changed, sacrifices of bulls shifted when Moses chose the ram as the sacrificial animal of the new age of Aries.  At the shift of the ages of Aries into Pisces, Jesus was both Lamb of God and Fisher of Men as the sacrificial symbol for the age of Pisces, the Fishes. Now, due to the gradual movement of precession, Aquarius has advanced to the springtime place in the northern hemisphere, and a new symbol for the Aquarian age will emerge.  Perhaps the figure of the Waterbearer will be a galactic human?

Astrologically, the duration of an age is characterized and defined by the archetypal energies of the constellation whose stars rise before the sun at spring equinox dawn. Each phase of the Great Year is like a month, possessing a distinct and overarching quality of experience. The ages are like spokes of the cosmic wheel, presenting a phase shift of archetypal energy designed to provide an evolutionary schoolroom for developing humanity. Since the great cycle of the ages is a repeating pattern, perhaps we can learn about our present and future from a better understanding of the past.

As the zodiac presents an annual circle of archetypal experience, so too does the Great Year. The changing of ages has longs cusps or transitional periods, and there are no precise demarcations of the circle where one influence stops and a new one begins. We can only look back in time to sense approximately which archetype held sway and what experience humanity drew from to unfold our emerging pattern.

The signs of the zodiac are a function of the year, while the apparent shifting of the stars is a measure of an age.  Like the larger cycle of the ages, the circle of the year also represents successive phases of experience. The zodiac signs have been described like stained glass windows that “color” the solar and planetary influences.Symbolically, the signs of the zodiac form a cycle of experience that provide the template of evolution through which Earth receives the influences of the Sun and planets.  

So, while you are definitely still an Aries or Libra, Pisces or Gemini, it’s very worthwhile to go outside on a clear, dark night and contemplate the majesty of the stars and the vastness of the Universe of which we are a part.  Humanity’s story is an ancient one, and contrary to apocalyptic notions at the current changing of the ages, the tale is far from over.
