Livia Malanaphy, H.W., M.

Long-time Prosperos student and teacher from Brooklyn, New York, and most recently from Hawaii, passed on yesterday. She would have been 94 on June 14. Livia was the matriarch of a large family of Malanaphys including children HughJohn, Maureen, Dorothy, Kevin, Brian and Liam and countless grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a beloved Prosperos teacher and the leading force in the Prosperos New York group throughout the ’70s and ’80s.

And personally, she was a fun, generous and loving figure in my life. One time in the ’70s or ’80s, Livia and I were walking together on the grounds of Old Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan and we entered a gated area and found ourselves locked in. We kind of laughed nervously, panicked briefly and Translated immediately.

We found our way out.

Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius – A Deeper kind of Truth

by Astro Butterfly

On May 26th, 2021 we have a powerful Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse at 5° Sagittarius.

Full Moons are when things are revealed for what they truly are. The Full Moon is the only time in the lunar cycle when the disc of the Moon is fully illuminated. Full Moons bring clarity, transparency, and reveal the truth.

Since this Full Moon is ALSO a Lunar Eclipse, we change gears to a whole new level of disclosure.

If you’ve been paying attention to eclipses, you already know how powerful they are. But not all Eclipses are made equal. Partial eclipses, while still fated, are less impactful than Total eclipses.

Total Lunar Eclipse In Sagittarius

The upcoming Lunar Eclipse is a Total Lunar Eclipse, so it’s a biggie.

Furthermore, eclipses are of two types: North Node eclipses, and South Node Eclipses.

Since this is a Sagittarius Full Moon, and the South Node is currently in Sagittarius, the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius is a South Node eclipse. As you may know, both the North Node and the South Node of the Moon are connected with karma. More specifically, South Node eclipses are connected with the clearance of karma.

Although they tend to have a bad rep, South Node eclipses don’t always come with negative consequences. The South Node is much like a payout. “What goes around comes around”. Some people can have achievements, recognitions or receive unexpected benefits at a South Node eclipse.

The difference here is that while North Node eclipses bring something new in our life, South Node eclipses deliver outcomes based on previous actions – from this lifetime, or previous lifetimes.

At a North Node eclipse, you are creating new karma, at a South Node eclipse, you are releasing old karma. Releasing the old always feels uncomfortable. However, if something doesn’t feel uncomfortable, chances are, there’s no real change happening.

Gemini VS Sagittarius

Any Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse is a reconciliation of the qualities of the 2 signs on the axis it occurs. This Lunar Eclipse is on the Gemini/Sagittarius axis. The Sun and the North Node are in Gemini, and the Moon and the South Node are in Sagittarius.

The Gemini/Sagittarius axis is the axis of knowledge. However, Gemini and Sagittarius have different approaches to knowledge.

Gemini rules our logical mind, how we process information in a factual, unbiased way. Sagittarius rules our beliefs – what we believe to be true and morally right.

When we say “we need more data” we operate from our Gemini mind.

However, when we don’t have to ‘prove’ or explain something – because it feels morally right – we operate from our Sagittarius mind. We don’t have to explain why helping someone in need is the right thing to do. We don’t have to explain why we have laws to put criminals in jail.

If Gemini is defined by curiosity, and approaches everything with a beginner’s mind, Sagittarius prefers to follow the marked path, which has advantages and disadvantages.

Sagittarius doesn’t waste time reinventing the wheel, saving us time and energy by sticking to what’s already proven to work. After all, we wouldn’t want to come up with a new law every other day.

The downside is that it can also fall victim to dogma, and can get stuck in paradigms that have outgrown themselves.

The Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius will expose what’s working and what’s no longer working with the “Sagittarius” approach.

The eclipse will make us aware of our biases and dogmas, but will also help us see which Sagittarian beliefs have helped us become the person we are today.

And this soul-searching is not a superficial one. It’s not just about “This belief has served me well, so I’ll stick to it, this one hasn’t, so I’ll drop it”.

This soul-searching is about going deeper, and understanding the WHY.

What is the real reason why I believe this to be true?

What is the real reason why I held on to this belief?

If you identify a negative belief system, for example a scarcity mindset, don’t just try to ‘delete’ it from your brain. It is not that simple anyway.

The Lunar Eclipse is calling you to discover WHY you have held onto it for that long.

What were the hidden benefits or payouts that made you stick to it?

What is the bigger picture here?

What is really going on?

WEBINAR: Lunar Eclipse In Sagittarius – How It Will Influence Me

“Advance Seminar” class on June 12 and 13

Hi! I am Heather C. Williams, H.W.,M. – a High Watch Mentor in The Prosperos School of Ontology since 1978. I am also a retired middle school art teacher and the author of Drawing as a Sacred Activity. 

Ontology is the science of Being. In The Prosperos School of Ontology, we learn and practice tools to free ourselves of the ego’s limitations and we open our minds and hearts to our True Identity as consciousness. We teach people HOW TO THINK – not what to think. I, and the other Mentors, help people find out who they are so they can live their lives fully. I am 74 and after 50 years of practicing The Prosperos tools, I can say with gratitude I am living more fully and I love sharing with others who are also interested in living more fully.

My next class will be the Advance Seminar Monitor Class with Thane. This will be an online ZOOM Class lasting four hours on both Saturday June 12 and Sunday June 13. Class begins both days at 8:00 am Pacific/9:00 am Mtn/11:00 am Central/Noon Eastern. We’ll take breaks and have a good discussion at the end of each day. If you have any questions or just would like to know more about this class please contact me by email at: heather@theprosperos.org.

Book: “Inherit the Truth: A Memoir of Survival and the Holocaust”

Inherit the Truth: A Memoir of Survival and the Holocaust

Inherit the Truth: A Memoir of Survival and the Holocaust

by Anita Lasker-Wallfisch 

In the years following her liberation from the Nazi death camp, Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, like most survivors of the Holocaust, struggled to build a normal life for herself. Decades later, she realized that in her efforts to achieve normality she had not spoken to her children or her grandchildren of her terrifying odyssey. Her memoir of the period between 1939 and 1945, was written for her children so that they would Inherit the Truth.

This is the story of the destruction of a talented Jewish family, and of the survival against all the odds of two young sisters. Anita and her elder sister Renate defied death at the hands of the Gestapo and the SS over a period of two and a half years, being first imprisoned as criminals and then being transferred, separately to Auschwitz, and finally to Belsen. They were saved by their exceptional courage, determination and ingenuity, and by several improbable strokes of good luck — the greatest of which was the fact that Anita played the cello.

Lasker-Wallfisch draws from her own startlingly vivid memories of her experience, and also incorporates the letters her family wrote to one another during this period as well as other primary documents. She succeeds in conveying — in unsentimental prose — what it was to have been a Jew living in Germany at the time of the Third Reich and what it was to have survived.

Holocaust and Transgenerational Trauma. Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, her daughter and Thomas Hübl

Thomas Hübl This is a talk about transgenerational trauma between Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, her daughter Maya Jacobs-Wallfisch, and Thomas Hübl. Anita Lasker-Wallfisch (92) is a German-British cellist and one of the last known survivors of the “Girls’ Orchestra” of Auschwitz. Maya Jacobs-Wallfisch has a particular interest in transgenerational trauma arising from her subjective experience of being the daughter of a holocaust surviver.

Thanks to Anita Lasker-Wallfisch and Maya Jacobs-Wallfisch for sharing so open-heartedly and generously their memories, and their experience of a special relationship, which is very valuable, instructive and salutary for us all!
