Greetings and salutations. This morning, with the eclipse happening, I was prompted to do something different.
This time, I wanted to experience the eclipse as a personal integration of myself. Not often do I take the opportunity to examine my ordinary human activity as a cosmic event, but I took this eclipse as an opportunity to do so. To spend time in quiet reflection of the heights and depths of my life experience, looking at those eclipse moments.
I considered my reactions, to the experiences, the cycling of so-called darkness and light in my own life. Those places where the light in my life has been temporarily affected by darkness and how I responded to it. Surprising, how I had grown during and after those times of darkness in unexpected ways. I contemplated on how we, as human beings, try to hold back the dark, “the unknown” by desperately trying to hold onto our static experiences.
I chuckled because sometimes static experiences may feel that we are able “To Live In the Light,” when in fact, it is by consciously embracing our own natural cycles of darkness and lightness we live fully, adding a richness, depth, and meaning to our lives by revealing the Light that would not be there otherwise.
While doing this process, going through the cycles in my consciousness, that of light to dark then cycling back into light once more, I did a simple ritual of release – considering and in some cases naming, those things in my life that may be ready to change or that I need to let go of in order to receive the re-conceived Light. I then had a quiet, yet an internal moment of a high hot shout, where I stated to the Universe “Come on Something.”
I am looking forward to next meeting perhaps it will be a meal and/or cocktails, but it will, of course, contain Life tales.
Love and Hugs

To quote Heather Williams, H.W., M., “Translation is the creative process of re-engineering the outdated software of your mind.” Translation is a 5-step process using syllogistic reasoning to transform apparent man and the universe back into its essential whole, complete and perfect nature. Through the process of Translation, reality is uncovered and thus revealed. Through word tracking, getting to the essence of the words we use to express our current view of reality, we are uncovering the underlying timeless reality of the Universe.

Why capitalism can’t survive without socialism
Excerpt:
“We think of capitalism as being locked in an ideological battle with socialism, but we never really saw that capitalism might be defeated by its own child — technology.”
This is how Eric Weinstein, a mathematician and a managing director of Peter Thiel’s investment firm, Thiel Capital, began a recent video for BigThink.com. In it he argues that technology has so transformed our world that “we may need a hybrid model in the future which is paradoxically more capitalistic than our capitalism today and perhaps even more socialistic than our communism of yesteryear.”
Which is another way of saying that socialist principles might be the only thing that can save capitalism.
Weinstein’s thinking reflects a growing awareness in Silicon Valley of the challenges faced by capitalist society. Technology will continue to upend careers, workers across fields will be increasingly displaced, and it’s likely that many jobs lost will not be replaced.
Hence many technologists and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley are converging on ideas like universal basic income as a way to mitigate the adverse effects of technological innovation.
I reached out to Weinstein to talk about the crisis of capitalism — how we got here, what can be done, and why he thinks a failure to act might lead to a societal collapse. His primary concern is that the billionaire class — which he’s not a part of, but has access to through his job — has been too slow to recognize the need for radical change.
“The greatest danger,” he told me, is that, “the truly rich are increasingly separated from the lives of the rest of us so that they become largely insensitive to the concerns of those who still earn by the hour.” If that happens, he warns, “they will probably not anticipate many of the changes, and we will see the beginning stirrings of revolution as the cost for this insensitivity.”

“In economics [as in life], things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.”

In Summary:
“The Great American Eclipse is occurring on Trump’s ascendant, very close to his Mars. This eclipse is in Leo, the sign of “kings” and rulers. Eclipses have long been thought of as events that can aid the fall of a ruler. This eclipse is also conjunct the fixed star Regulus, the star associated with royalty, leaders and those that reign on high. Eclipses obscure light. The light of the sun is equated with life in astrology. When light is obscured, so too is the life, or in this case the reign, in some ways. Eclipses are a time of reckoning with the “shadow” aspect of ourselves. The parts of self we deny or push into the background. It’s a time to reflect on our bullshit and get right with ourselves. The Great American Eclipse’s shadow will fall DIRECTLY across America revealing the shadow of this country. Its lies. Its deceit. The unfoundedness of its exceptionalism. And it will effect its appointed leader in the same way. Trump was born during a total lunar eclipse, which makes him more effected by eclipses in general. He was also born with a sun/Uranus conjunction which makes him unpredictable and unconcerned with rules. He might not go down tomorrow, or on August 21st, but we are witnessing his unraveling. These eclipses will not pass him by without impact. Whatever is occurring in the White House now will be talked about for a long time to come.”

For The Morning – Ibn Arabi
“From my insufficiency to my perfection, and from my deviation to my equilibrium
From my sublimity to my beauty, and from my splendor to my majesty
From my scattering to my gathering, and from my rejection to my communion
From my baseness to my preciousness, and from my stones to my pearls
From my rising to my setting, and from my days to my nights
From my luminosity to my darkness, and from my guidance to my straying
From my perigee to my apogee, and from the base of my lance to its tip
From my waxing to my waning, and from the void of my moon to its crescent
From my pursuit to my flight, and from my steed to my gazelle
From my breeze to my boughs, and from my boughs to my shade
From my shade to my delight, and from my delight to my torment
From my torment to my likeness, and from my likeness to my impossibility
From my impossibility to my validity, and from my validity to my deficiency.
I am no one in existence but myself,”
