Stardust: Astrology Without The Dogma

I am going to let you in on a little secret right now. Those planets that also happen to be orbiting around the sun in our galaxy play a role our conscious and subconscious thoughts from one day to the next. They by no means dictate our behavior or our emotional response to life but they do play a part.

Our ability to think freely and utilize our own personality attributes involves a certain co-operation from our immediate neighbors. Each planet in our galaxy is capable bringing out certain thoughts and emotions at different periods of the year. The planets have nothing to do with our spiritual energy but they do affect the way that our energy interacts with our thoughts and predisposed characteristics. The planets only exist on our physical plane and only effect our predisposition to interact within that very same physical enviroment.

All people are born on earth at a specific moment in space. Time only exists on our planet but it can be useful as a point of reference to achieve a more well-rounded understanding of our predisposed characteristics. We are all comprised of varying degrees of elemental combinations that make each of us uniquely different. Each planet in our immediate galaxy is comprised of a unique combination of elements as well. They each have their own unique attributes which is a direct result of these elements coming together. The way that the planets interact with one another is similar to the way that we do except that we have free will. The planets influences are more predictable and fixed and this dependability helps humanity become less volatile as well.

We breathe air, which is free and light, while water flows and is a little denser. Fire burns while the earth is stable. Look at it this way, when the rainfalls it is evaporated by the sun and then leaves a sedimentary residue on the ground. If the air gets too hot then it could actually cause the earth to ignite into fire. The basis for which these elements mix and react is the basis for the manifestation of organic evolution.

Our immediate family of planets has a similar relationship with each other as well as the earth that we all call home. At any given moment one planet could be having a gravitational relationship with another which could actually effect the predisposition of a person who happens to be born during that planetary interaction. The interaction between the planets has a two fold influence that involves gravitational and frequency beams of influence. These beams transmit to our planet and into the minds of every living creature that inhabits the earth. The effects of these beams are subtle and gradual. The innate characteristics of these planets do not determine our evolution but rather the manner in which we carry out our evolutionary process.

The slow moving procession of planetary interaction plays a part in determining a lot of our pre-disposed characteristics. Keep in mind that individually; these characteristics have nothing to do with our socially conditioned belief system but it does play a role in how we learn and express our thoughts to one another.

The influence of the planets is instilled in us from the minute we begin to take shape and form inside of our mother’s womb. These predisposed attributes remain a part us for as long as we are alive. Our ego will actually take on the more negative characteristics of its creator, which is the brain of the body it is contained in. We create our ego. In other words we will manifest our own ego that will resemble our own predisposition but it will bring out the more negative side of our predisposition.

Remember that we create our ego and our ego is driven by fear. The dispositions of our attributes that are determined by the planets are very dualistic in nature. The amount of exposure to the sun, among other factors, that each planet receives has a hand in determining each planet's influence. A perfect example of this would be the planet Mercury due to its unique orbit it has around the sun. One half of Mercury is always facing the sun while the other half is always in darkness. Gemini is the sign that is ruled by Mercury. Gemini is known as the twin in the astrology community. Gemini’s are known to possess two completely different personalities and this is a direct result of the duality that is created by their ruling planets unique orbit around the sun.

All of the other planets have their own distinct characteristics, which transmits to the people that each particular planet influences. All of the planets represent duality in varying degrees. All of the people who live on earth are capable of exhibiting dualistic behaviors as well. Some people could be stable and dependable at their best while being hard headed and stubborn at their worst. Each one of us has to deal with the dualistic nature of our own disposition through out the course of our life.

The dirty bomb that has an impact on our attributes being negative or positive is our fear driven ego. Our ego can literally bring out the worst of these characteristics at times when they would other wise be favorable. If someone is capable of two extremes or a balance somewhere in between, our fear driven ego will create an unbalance where there otherwise would not have been one.

On its own, the ego can disengage our mind from our spirit, which creates an imbalance in and of its self. This obstruction from the spirit will also confuse our perception of reality and cause us to access our astrological attributes in a negative manner rather than a positive one. The more confused we are the further we have become disconnected from our own inner truth. When we are unsure, we perceive ourselves as being in a greater state of imagined fear. Remember that fear will activate our instinctual response to life. Our instincts are ruled by the lower, reptilian part of our brain. This fear driven, instinctual response to our environment will become the primary driving force behind our egos belief system that it maintains in our mind. The more our ego is ruled by fear and instincts the less it will be able to access the higher, more spiritually connected part of our mind. This mindset will have an equally negative impact on our astrological attributes which are determined by the planets in our galaxy. When we are in imagined fear we will act out on the more negative and self serving aspects of our innate planetary disposition. This entire interaction actually activates a more instinctual response to our perceived surroundings. When our predisposed planetary dispositions get filtered through our fear driven ego our in thoughts and actions are much more negative.

Our predisposed planetary attributes are at home in the mammalian parts of the brain. The mammalian part of the brain is between the reptilian and human parts. Remember that the reptilian brain is the lower part where fear is at home. The human brain is the higher part, which is our connection to the spiritual realm. Our brain is a pretty basic design, which has working parts that are each responsible for conducting business in different parts of our perceived reality. The part of the brain, which is closest to the body, is the reptilian part, which is actually connected to the spinal chord. The reptilian brain is deals with our more immediate instinctual needs in the physical realm. The mammalian brain is right on top of the reptilian part and it deals with matters of our immediate physical universe such as the planets of our own galaxy. The outer region of our brain, which is directly above the mammalian part, is our connection to the spiritual realm of the universe. This outer region of our brain is the one that is separates us from all of the other animals in the kingdom. The human brain deals with matters of our higher consciousness and enables us to create at will. The ego is a bridge that accesses all three regions of our mind together. The problem with the ego is that it connects all three parts in such a way that they can no longer be utilized in a balanced manner. Our ego actually impairs our ability to connect to love and truth. Evolution will eventually correct this imbalance for us as long as we don’t self destruct before hand.

The basic reason for our inert planetary influence is to promote a complementary balance between different elements we possess within us. The purpose of the interaction between our mammalian brain and the planets is to bring about a balanced perception within the minds of the collective consciousness.

We need air to breath, water to drink, fire to keep us warm and the earth to stand on. The perfect combination of these four basic elements in just the right manner is what allows us to exist in this physical realm. The influence of the other planets allows us to cultivate a better-rounded viewpoint when we work collectively.

We each are endowed with certain perceived strengths depending on which planets influence our makeup. Keep in mind that the attributes that we were born with are basically ours for life.

The slow moving planets also constantly influence us during the entire time that we are alive as well. These planets never stop influencing our minds and will affect each mind differently due to the interaction with the attributes we were born with.

Think about it, if it were just the earth and the sun in our galaxy then we would all be relatively similar in our predisposed characteristics. Our own individual personalities are built off of the foundation of attributes we were born with; these attributes are a direct result of the influence of the planets in our galaxy at the time and location of our birth. The influences of the planets by no means determine who we are on their own but they definitely play a strong supporting role.

The thing that throws off most people about astrology is that it gets confused as religion. I tend not to limit myself by taking any of the things that I speak of as absolute. Everything plays a part in the living experience, as we know it to be. A lot of people are ignorant about the specific role that the planets play in our life. The immediate planets in our galaxy did not create us and they don’t have anything to do with our soul but they do give each one of us specific inate character traits that are uniquely ours. Their influences allow us to come together to transcend our individual limitations. On this level we are definitely all-unique creations of the loving universe.

Just A Dream....From My Book "The Killer Inside"

Up here the streets below look like our own circulatory system. The different neighborhoods seem more like arteries that are linked as one by a complex maze of passageways. The cars on the faster streets blend together. I really can’t tell where one stops and the next one begins. They are moving in a measured precession that gives me the illusion of blood flowing through the veins of a city. Some of these veins appear to be much more clogged than others. Art mimics life even when there is no obvious beauty in the eyes of the beholder. When I am down there those streets are anything but a depiction of beauty but up here they seem different. Up here I can view the world we have created with a sense of detachment. Up here I am not in it so I can see it for what it really is.

While I Wait

Slave trading aristocrats

A white bread Bureaucratic

Evidential decaying legacy

Declining standards

Awaiting mediocrity

And while you wait

We have rectal thermometers

Barometric odometers

Falling angles

Whose angel it is to turn noon into night

Every now and again

I can see a reflection of myself

Inside the eyes of another

Calling me to truth

Seeking something

Other than the feelings carried around

Resembling nothing

Other than the world that surrounds the two of us

You and I

With the blink of an eye

We have multiplied

Over and over

The numbers show

The world is overgrown

The commodity of souls

Without an identity to call their own

Billions of faces

Yet still all alone

Safety in numbers

Toxic oxygen

Heir to the toilet bowl throne

And the crops come up

Again and again

Depleted soil

The nutrients are all gone

Mirroring the men

Plowing through the remains

Of mother earth as she sighs

Witnessing us do it to ourselves again

The hearts of man

Guided by thinking unchanged

Birds of prey

Unconsciously driven

To destroy themselves again

Reaching a point

In the evolutionary slide

Disguised in material

Catering to the egoic mind

And the spiritual realm

Patiently watches once more

As our ego punks us out

Until we are visible no more

Died a million times trying to learn how to live

The way that I wish to address what is occurring around me is to honor what is happening inside me. My mind is incredibly powerful. It is literally hiding out inside of a bunch of gray matter that sits between my ears. Below me are some much more archaic mechanical instruments that have been employed to guide me along my path. I have no idea where I would be going except for the fact that I have been kindly given this intuitive navigation system that gives me some basic input if I choose to acknowledge it.

Acknowledging anything seems to be a chore in and of itself. The self, now I am getting somewhere. After all, isn't that where we all wish to go? Somewhere, anywhere other than where we are at. I'm sorry; I know I shouldn't speak for you. Hell, I don't even know who I am let alone what is best for you. But you know what? Ill let you in on a little game I like to play. I can forget about me and what I don't like about myself if I focus on you. This type of focus is really distracting. It involves all sorts of weird stories that I have to not only tell myself but actually build a life around as if this story was the truth.

The story I write with my mind or more appropriately, the story I create nestled deep down in this endless sea of gray matter between the sound equipment of this machine that's been assigned me to get around a planet that I always wanted to experience is fiction. It's not true. All stories are fiction. Memory circuits connect me to memories. The memories that I won't let go of are all based on the slant that I have assigned my leading man which in this particular go around on earth is rob Gallagher. Gray in the middle. I've died a million times just trying to learn how to live. I've compromised moments to stay hidden beneath the surface of the life that I won't share with myself let alone anyone else. We all do this. We all find ourselves compromising this or selling out for that.

I have to begin again. I have to really let go of all that I hold dear to this story that is dragging me along its path. It's pulling me down to a level that all but ensures my return trip to earth once more.

Love and fear are not separate. Life and death are no different. They are not even different sides of the same story. This is all what we have made of a story that started long ago. It is none of my business what you want to feel. I have no right trying to talk you in or out of whatever you are doing. These feelings are a guide to truth. The feelings that I have stuffed, numbed killed and sacrificed are the one constant that have never changed in this cycle of earth experience that I have led. There is this whole world that I have judged and dissected and put into little compartments within my story. The story I write on these pages doesn't make any sense to me.

The time has come to really question exactly what it is that I want for myself in this life I live. There has to be some sort of way to escape the wrath of the story I've created. I have the power and the right to change things up. I can choose my own adventure. I can do as I please as long as it is not at the expense of another. There are some ground rules to the game I have agreed to play. I agreed to the terms of my life upon arrival to earth. I chose my parents. I picked my name. I found myself staring down the barrel of a world that had been created long before I arrived and it shall be here after I leave. It is almost in the exact same place that it was in what I left it last. So how much power do I really have in this life that I live? How do I wake up to an empty page where I can begin again? I will need to unlearn all of the shit that has been accepted as truth. Peace

A HARD LINE INTO THE SUN

Can you see inside the eyes of a monster?

Could you find a way to let it go?

Could you fall away even faster?

Or is this all that you think that you know

Flying through the enemy airspace

They have got you locked in their sights

We keep worshiping angels

Whose angle it is to turn noon into night

Armageddon's men of disguise

Keep feeding us their medicinal lies

Fading fortunes are covered up and wearing thin

You might as well stop your self from trying

Because there is nothing left to do

Take cover my fabled sons of goodnight

Wash yourselves up against the shore

Extend a hand to your own unreciprocated demands

And walk a hard line into the sun

Follow it down until it bleeds no more

Tap into a vein until it is bruised and sore

Quality time should be of our making

Otherwise it lacks the freedom of form

We can't see the levels

Tata slaughtered his Indians

As the Germans die in the Russian snow

Washington crossed the Delaware

Their worlds of promise deliver cancellations on time

Ego Armageddon: Giving Birth To Ego

Ego Armageddon: Giving Birth To Ego

Ionic Pinball Wizard

Ionic pinball wizard ROBERT GRAY GALLAGHER, CHARLIE SHEEN, BRITTNEY SPEARS, JFK ASSASSINATION, RON PAUL, PLAYOFFS, FOX NEWS, LINDSEY LOHAN, HOLLYWOOD YOUTH HOSTILES, LOS ANGELES AREA REHABS

We are almost like billions of little ions all bouncing off of one another. Our two separate spheres of influence come together for a moment in time. Our own individual energy fields will actually share and experience that will either contribute to one another’s life in a positive or negative way. Then those two ions will separate from one another and individually set course towards their next fateful interaction.

This is not to say that ever single interaction in our life is fateful in nature. This is just to say, from my own experience, that the interactions that have shaped my collective experience have all seemed to happen for a reason.

Most of my life I was just way too self obsessed to notice the significance of these interactions until much later on. Life almost seemed like one gigantic game of pinball. There are defiantly subtle forces at work that drive our subconscious to do certain things at certain points in our life.

In my opinion these are not just random experiences that we have with one another as we careen along our journey. There is both rhyme and reason for the encounters that we experience. Of course these interactions are always susceptible to human error. You remember what that is right? I define human error as our ability to exercise fear driven free will. Fear driven free will to me seems like a will that is working independently from that of the universe. Free will, in my experience, has been dictated by my instincts that have become out of calibration with my spirit.

My life became a frustrating cycle of reoccurring situations that I perceived as events that were happening to me. Why is this happening to me? I would ask myself this question with increasing regularity, as I became more spiritually off kilter. Now I see that what ever I put out into the universe will come back to me. My external perception will only be as comfortable as my inner self will allow it to be.

The problem with me was that I had little or no idea that I was off balance and was taking actions on a daily basis to make matters worse. Self-centered thinking, for me, is an obsession. If I become obsessed with myself then I become disconnected from my higher self and the integrity of my vibration becomes inconsistent as a result.

If we want to run around dehumanizing each other to be able to excuse our self centered behavior then we might as well dehumanize ourselves for a minute to prove a point. What if we were all either positive or coming from a place of spiritual love or negative charged who are driven by their fears. Depending on if we are in our proper integrity and connected to our higher self or not, we will either be conscious or unconscious to the way that we affect the other ions that we come into contact with.

Now try to stand back and look at all of the people on the planet without shape and forum but rather as spheres of energy like protons and electrons. Next try to picture eight billion negative or positively charged ions all interacting with one another. Now let’s also try to imagine that all of these ions behaviors were dictated by the other ions instead of by the laws of the atom that contain them.
Sure there are scientific laws that dictate the combining of any elements together but far too often these laws would only dictate the basic nature the ions. In humanities case ions have become manipulated by other ions.

The more negative reactions that occur from these fateful interactions, the more negative the collective vibration of all these ions will become. The more that we live in selfish imagined fear and project that fear on to those around us, the more negative our collective vibration will become. Each and every time that we act out on our imagined fears in the form of our character liabilities we are subtracting from the collective potential experience we could have together.
Like I said, we cannot ever destroy the truth. We can only make it increasingly harder to see. My higher consciousness is my connection to truth. How connected are you to your own higher consciousness? As long as I have remained invested in maintaining my fear driven yet creative ego projection I have continued to get what I have always gotten.
