Feeling out of sync or out of balance with your goals or others? It may be caused by your not ‘hearing’ each other, and our biases bear some of the blame. Understanding comes from challenging what we hear and think we know and shifting out of our comfort zones.
These turbulent and divisive times require a new approach to how we perceive and understand the most important issues of our lives. The prevailing narratives of television news or social media often miss the full picture and feed fear and harden battle lines. To counter these narratives, we need to see a clearer picture. And we often need to see the issues from another viewpoint.
Our aim as Mentors, Coaches, and Teachers found in the Prosperos, and that are read in the Bathtub Bulletin is to help individuals discover new ways of looking at issues that matter, to provide a lens that can help all of us achieve common ground.
If you are willing to have your views challenged but not to be told what to think, then take a look at our curriculum, events and project offerings available to you as grist to your conscious mill.
You might uncover secrets, and proven formulas for life-changing methods to recreate yourself. So, check out the articles from myself and other innovative writers, thinker’s, artist, teachers and mentors here on the BB to find ways to your optimal life.

In last night’s [Find Yourself and Life] lesson, Thane spoke of the chemical change that occurs within the body of a person as they ignite the fire of Christ Consciousness and then feed that fire with the experiences of life. He indicated that the supreme feeling of well being that is associated with an experience with a teacher plant can be experienced via a chemical change that occurs within the body when a person is expressing the attributes of Christ Consciousness.
The concept of this chemical change is presented in Ouspensky’s book, “In Search of the Miraculous”. The food we physically eat is blended with the life experiences, and this blend of energies, the blend of physical food and psychological food, serves to nourish our bodies and our souls. The one substance that we need to cause the magical transformation of physical food and psychological food into the chemical that Thane spoke of is the substance that Gurdjieff and Ouspensky referred to as Positive Emotion. Positive Emotions are shocks. Positive Emotions are the magic elixir.
The shock of Positive Emotion produces Higher Love. Positive Emotion releases the innate knowing that all is well. Positive Emotion is released when we, as individuals, express Christ Consciousness. Christ Consciousness is the Truth. The Truth includes the reality that we, as expressions of Infinite Mind, have our being in a place beyond space and time. We, as expressions of Infinite Mind posses the attributes of Infinite Oneness. When we are able to fill our thoughts with the knowingness of the Truth rather than the uncertainty of the ego self, the magic elixir of Positive Emotion is released from the confines of fear and mixes with the experience, and this mixture produces the chemical substance that radiates and vibrates our innate wellness. Every cell within our body is infused with this magic elixir, and the light that is released by this infusion radiates outwardly and fills the dimensions of our physical beingness with its clarity. This clarity is contagious.
“We are in the second renaissance. In the first, our European ancestors explored the seas and discovered new continents. In this, our present age, we are setting out to explore the cosmos and reality.”
“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body….”
A Moon Wobble happens when the Sun forms a square to the nodal axis. The energy is very similar to that associated with eclipses, when the New or Full Moon aligns closely with the lunar nodes. As with eclipses, a Moon Wobble arouses emotions and there is a tendency to react overly quickly to situations based on feelings instead of thinking things through with calm logic. It is advantageous to avoid making sudden or drastic changes near a Moon Wobble.
It was astrologer Carl Payne Tobey (1902-1980) who coined the term Moon Wobble. After a painstaking examination of a large number of major disasters, involving fires, bad weather and loss of life, he found that many of the most serious and traumatic catastrophes occur in association with eclipses, especially when other dire planetary aspects coincided. He also found however that such evils are not exclusively linked to eclipses and may also occur when the Sun forms a T- square to the nodal axis. He called this a Moon Wobble, for it is in fact when the Moon is wobbling in its path by declination. So, when the Sun is conjoined with either node or is in this T –square to the nodal axis, this raises the likelihood of major environmental damage, loss of life or property, or other dire effects. As stated, these types of problems are more likely if other troubling planetary configurations occur at the same time. The most notable times for disastrous occurrences range from a few days before to a few days following the exact aspect.
The 2010 Moon Wobble effects are strongest on: January 11, April 6; July 3 (between two eclipses), September 30 and December 24. For 2011, the Moon Wobble effects are strongest on March 18, June 14, September 11, and December 12. For 2012 the Moon Wobble effects are strongest on February 28, May 25, August 22 and November 17. For 2013, the Moon Wobble effects are strongest on February 9, May 7, August 4, and October 30. For 2014, the dates that Moon Wobble effects are strongest are January 23, April 18, July 16 and October 12. For 2015, the dates that Moon Wobble effects are strong are January 5, March 31, June 27, September 23 and December 18. For 2016, the dates that Moon Wobble effects are strongest are March 11, June 7, September 4 and November 29.
Note that the destructive earthquake that stuck Haiti occurred on January 12, 2010, one day after the Sun-North Node conjunction and a few days prior to the Capricorn Solar Eclipse. See more by linking to Decoding Earthquakes. The mine explosion in West Virginia occurred near a Moon Wobble in early April 2010 as did the earthquake in Baja. In 2014, an overloaded ferry sank off the coast of South Korea, drowning dozens of high school students AND over 200 Nigerian school girls were kidnapped. These events as well as a cluster of quakes occurred near the Moon Wobble effects in April. If you have noted an event occurring near a Moon Wobble, email me.
This TaurusFull Moon is the most powerful Supermoonsince January 25, 1948. This is the second of three Supermoons in a row. However, this one tomorrow will be the biggest and brightest of the three. This is due to the Moon being closer to the earth than it has been in many decades and the biggest this century. So for most of us, it will appear bigger than we have seen in our lifetime. If you look at it when the Moon is nearer to the horizon, this can create an optical illusion which makes it appear even more spectacular. The next somewhat smaller Supermoon will occur on December 13th. With the Moon’s closer proximity to the earth, the affect on the tides will be greater as will the magnetic pull on the earth in general, affecting our emotional bodies as well.
We are also experiencing a T-square aspect with Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn. These energies are designed to expose the shadowy energies and hidden agendas of large organizations around the globe. These include religions, corporations and governments. This is break-up and shake-up time. The only ones that will make it through, are those that are genuine with integrity. And as our eyes are opened, we cannot go back to sleep.
This is also a time where righteous indignation and fanaticism can achieve center stage. We want to take a deep look at what is motivating these extreme behaviors to find the fear. Anger is always a byproduct of fear of loss. This is a time to trust that we will end up in a better place after these turbulent times and energies have passed. Ask yourself what do you fear the most and then thank Creator (whatever that means for you) for removing the fear and replacing it with faith and right action. In every crisis there is a gift. Your job is to find it.

A Full Moon symbolizes the fulfillment of the seeds planted at a previous New Moon or some earlier cycle. Each Full Moon reminds us of the seeds that may be coming to maturity, to their fullness, to fruition, to the place where the fruits or gifts are received. It may seem that fulfillment of our goals takes a long time. Some intentions may manifest within the two week phase prior to the next New or Full Moon. Some however, depending on their complexity, may take a much longer time. Just remember that our thoughts and emotions set Universal Action in motion and much work takes place behind the scenes as everything is orchestrated for fulfillment. Keep visualizing your goals as though you have already attained them and they will eventually manifest. Do not concern yourself with current conditions or worry about controlling it. The universe takes care of those details. Just keep seeing what you want, and move in that direction with your actions, and give no energy to what you don’t want. Patience is required.
We are living in the time of a great crossroads, a critical transition between profoundly different ages. The philosophical, social, environmental and economic assumptions that have brought us to this age are found now to be no longer working. Our children’s survival requires a profound reset in our sense of living together in this world. This is both a personal and a collective transition demanding that we take, in Christopher Fry’s words, “the longest stride of soul men ever took.” Although written years ago, the following passages capture the essence of our current crossroads.
“A mood of universal destruction and renewal…has set its mark on our age. This mood makes itself felt everywhere, politically, socially, and philosophically. We are living in what the Greeks called the kairos – the right moment – for a “metamorphosis of the gods,” of the fundamental principles and symbols. This peculiarity of our time, which is certainly not of our conscious choosing, is the expression of the unconscious human within us who is changing. Coming generations will have to take into account of this momentous transformation if humanity is not to destroy itself through the might of its own technology and science…So much is at stake and so much depends on the psychological constitution of the modern human.”
–Carl Jung – The Undiscovered Self
“Planetary democracy does not yet exist, but our global civilization is already preparing a place for it. It is the very Earth we inhabit, linked with Heaven above us. Only in this setting can the mutuality and the commonality of the human race be newly created, with reverence and gratitude for that which transcends each of us singly, and all of us together. The authority of a world democratic order simply cannot be built on anything else but the revitalized authority of the universe.”
–Vaclav Havel – The Spiritual Roots of Democracy

Dark and cold we may be, but this
Is no winter now. The frozen misery
Of centuries breaks, cracks, begins to move;
The thunder is the thunder of the floes,
The thaw, the flood, the upstart Spring.
Thank God our time is now when wrong
Comes up to face us everywhere,
Never to leave us till we take
The longest stride of soul men ever took.
Affairs are now soul size.
The enterprise is exploration into God.
Where are you making for? It takes
So many thousand years to wake…
