Na paresaṃ vilomāni,
na paresaṃ katākataṃ.
Attanova avekkheyya,
katāni akatāni ca.
Look not to the faults of others,
nor to their omissions and commissions.
But rather look to your own acts,
to what you have done and left undone.

Since we are in a massively creative (as well as massively dangerous!) period, I thought I would deviate from my recent tendency to focus on New Moons, Full Moons, Mercury Retrogrades and such similar events. Using Solar Fire 8 (with some email guidance from Madalyn Hillis-Dineen of Astrolabe), I decided to explore some higher order aspects. What follows is a “time map” of outer planet septiles (and similar aspects such as tri-septiles) for the next 12 months (starting Oct 1, 2014).
Septile aspects (and variants) are indicative of periods of “karma” or “reaping what you have sown.” (However, if you are a seamstress, it might be a case of “ripping what you have sewn.”) Outer planets (or “generational planets”) tend to affect “all” (or “most”) of us, with some more directly (and intensely) affected than others. Keep an eye out and let me know if any of these dates…

Today, I will concentrate on taking one step forward, however small.
Be finished with a feeling of real loving Gratitude. When you truly mahalo (appreciate with gratitude) the lesson, then you pau (finish) with grace. You are truly pau when you separate yourself, with respect. Love is always gained through Gratitude.
I AM spirit greatness. I AM a powerful creator destined to live Pono and achieve the highest potential of my own soul. That is my great purpose in life. Mine is the journey back to Spirit. That’s my story. Let it be told. Walk the talk: that is Pono’s path.

that lasts and brings happiness.
Cultivate generosity, the life of peace,

Aloha Kakahiaka oukou. Hau’oli aloha Poʻaono. Maikaʻi la iā oukou.
Greetings and Good Morning; happy Aloha Saturday. Everyone have a great day!
I give myself up to the violet flame:
it will renew the strength within me.
I send only angels …
To you that hurt me
working together
with conscious effort;
And to you who know no better,
you vampires and leeches,
and thieves of dreams;
And to you, dear friend,
because you are here
only when I am bad;
does the bright light of perfect insight threaten you?
The light that is always absent within you?
You, cold as a surgeon’s steel,
removed and incomprehensible;
And to all, because you, with
your razor tongues, cut out my soul;
and to those who think they know me …
to ex-lovers because you weren’t the only one,
to my mother eager to control an inaccessible father,
to all of you that made me cry;
And especially to you,
those sharks alike,
excuses for people,
because you wanted
to drag me into your abyss,
always enraged by the blood-smell of
the one who tries;
And to you, whose every step to the place
where nothing is hidden,
who swim like salmon struggling upstream to their destination:
And to all of you,
of Cosmology,
the Universe of stars
that are only a part of you,
Milky way, muscle inflammation,
black hole vacuum around the heart.
Thank you!
YOU are your light and your path. Reclaiming lost pieces of yourself is your only true purpose. Your spiritual journey that reconnects you to ‘uhane nui au, Spirit Greatness, is all that matters. Ask questions that bring in your humor to turn the light back on your path.
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself.
For it isn’t a man’s father, mother or wife
Whose judgment upon him must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in his life,
Is the man staring back from the glass
He’s the fellow to please, never mind the rest,
For he’s with you clear up to the end,
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
(This poem was found written on
the wall of a cell in death row)
You require something on your life journey, so you activated kanawai kumulipo (the divine mandate) to get it. You clearly defined your intent, put your order out there, blessed it and released it into the Universe. Let Na Kupuna, the Ancestors, work it out. Your “order “ is in, now leave it alone.
Fact:
As each goose flaps it’s wings, it creates uplift for the bird following.
By flying in a ‘V’ formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if the bird flew alone
Lesson:
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are traveling quicker and easier, because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
Fact:
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.
Lesson:
If people have as much sense as geese, they will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go and be willing to accept their help as well as give help to others.
Fact:
When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies the point position.
Lesson:
It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership with people as, with geese, we are interdependent on each other.
Fact:
The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those
up front to keep their speed.
Lesson:
People need to make sure honking from behind is
encouraging – and not something else.
Fact:
When a goose becomes sick or wounded, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then they launch out on their own to try and catch up with their flock or they join another formation.
Lesson:
If people have as much sense as geese, they too will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when they are strong.
“Return the light of Spirit to a dark place.” Po is darkness. It refers to both literal night and a place of spiritual hunger; darkness prevails. Mai is to return to, comeback into. Ka’i is the light of spirit. Illuminate the darkness by sending the light of spirit into it.

Good morning and Happy Aloha Friday to all … Have a wonderful day. Enjoy!

Knowing that the other person is angry,
one who remains mindful and calm
acts for one’s own best interest
and for the other’s interest, too.

Orange Chicken; A good orange chicken should have just that little bit of sweetness and tangyness to it without being completely overpowering. It should also have that beautiful, slightly sticky gloss and marinade that perfectly coats the chicken. Most orange chicken recipes will have you fry the chicken first to get it nice and crispy, but if you want to make this dish healthier, skip the breading and the frying. Cook the chicken pieces in a skillet, then pour the sauce over and let the chicken and sauce boil until you get that perfect gloss. If you want to be even healthier, skip using chicken altogether and opt for Seitan vegetarian protein, which can be cut up like chicken and prepared per the recipe with the addition of vegetarian chicken boulion, or by adding Vegan “Chickin” pieces that you will find in your local grocery store’s frozen foods section under “healthy foods.”

Aloha Kakahiaka kakou. Hau’oli la Po’aha! He lā nani keia lā oukou. Hoihoi e kuʻu aku!
Greetings and Good Morning to all. Happy Thursday! Today is a beautiful day. Relax and enjoy it!
In generations prior, our grandparents were consuming foods that were healthier than the pesticide ridden, genetically modified and hormone injected food that is rampant today. Before big box food companies became money hungry and clever, there was a plethora of foods being distributed that were pure and non manipulated.
To increase their profit margin, increase the longevity of produce lasting and increase the size of harvests, many companies today have resorted to methods like using heavy pesticides and genetically modifying plants to make their crops more resistant to bugs and more resilient against the elements. In other words, the focus shifting from creating healthful, quality foods to creating adulterated foods that endanger the health of the masses.
Over the years, the nutritional villain has been deemed many different things; two of which are fat and sugar. This was simply a way to direct attention away from the actual issue, which is the quality of our food. Merely all whole foods can be eaten in moderation with no health risks.
However, eating too much of foods that are pumped full of chemicals is the true health detriment. Our grandparents may have seemingly indulged too much; but the contrary is true. Our bodies need fat and sugar as two of the crucial macronutrients in our diets.
Thus, they might have eaten meals that have a significant fat and/or sugar intake; but their bodies were able to remain balanced and healthy because the pesticides, GMO’s and hormones from animal products were not an issue.

Wonder
curiosity: a state in which you want to learn more about something
When you look with wonder at the stars
don’t wonder where I’ve been
or where you’ve been
When you look with wonder at the world
don’t wonder how I got here
or how you got here
When you look with wonder at the clouds
don’t wonder where I’ve drifted
or where you’ve floated
When you look with wonder at the seas
don’t wonder how many gulps I gasped
or how deep you may sink
When you look with wonder at yourself
don’t wonder how I see you
or how you might appear
Simply look with wonder.

Generosity, kind words,
doing a good turn for others,
and treating all people alike:
these bonds of sympathy are to the world
what the linchpin is to the chariot wheel.

If you consider yourself “awakened” and aware of what’s really happening on the planet, you’re ready for a major change. Who doesn’t want to shift from this negatively charged way of living?
We are thrusted into a life where we’re told to act within the existing limits of normality. Don’t question authority, live within the two gender models, pay for your education to work a unsatisfactory job, don’t freak out about the fact we are so disconnected from the earth, and from each other.
Coming together and talking about the issues is the first step in manifesting the solution – but we need to act on our ideas. This shift doesn’t come from just writing articles like this then continuing on in life. It comes from creating spaces around the world people can gather to live off grid and from the earth, like we’re suppose to.
When we get down to our core, no one wants war. Everyone wants to exist within love, its our natural state of being. Our lineage has lived in a paradigm of fear and conformity, where they assumed segregation and discrimination was the way to live life, simply because they were born into it. Tools like the internet have allowed for a global awakening in seeing the truth of what is really going on.
Recent polls show that only 29% percent of Americans are in favour of air strikes in Syria. All the unnecessary acts of our ‘protective’ military happen without any real consent from the rest of the world.
It is in favour of the few, and continually sets us back in establishing a connection with one another while keeping us in a state of fear. We are all our own governors that can work together in a new system of gratitude and honesty, we just need to act like it.
This topic is scary and unbelievable to some, and a completely casual, daily occurrence for others. It depends on your belief system and what you allow to manifest in your life. It is becoming apparent that we are much more than our physical 3D bodies.
People around the world are having interactions with – essentially just different forms of manifested energy that we call aliens, angels, spirits, higher selves, source or God.
Humanity is realizing its true potential, which is still quite scary to some. Earth is an incredibly special planet that is garnering a lot of attention from different consciousnesses in our universe. The radical shift that is taking place here, emits a lot of energy that radiates throughout space.
There is still a grand number of people who close up their belief system when these ideas are brought up. And who wouldn’t? Overlord draconians, hive mind grey aliens? We still exist in the paradigm of ‘that’s impossible’ when of course, we are the creators of this reality, we have just forgotten.
These are happening at the smallest scales, and its up to us to notice them. It is important to not dismiss something as a coincidence because nothing is just a random act. Something that happens to me a lot is I’ll be listening to a song or something with dialogue and if I drift off in thought for moment, I’ll always say a word in my head at the exact time it’s said in the song.
It’s small, and easily overlooked but I know those moments heighten my awareness because I physically feel lighter and often make new connections in my mind. In the moment of seeing the time at 11:11, that number represents whatever you make it.
When I see that time its a reminder of the awakening of the consciousness, and in that moment sometimes new ideas or ways of perceiving those ideas are brought into my awareness. The importance lies within seeing the bigger picture, and being reminded we are part of a much larger story that we are all writing.
There are a plethora of ways to view the idea of ‘the world ending’. It’s really just shifting to a new beginning, and we are in the process of creating what type of beginning that will be. The urgency of this isn’t easily seen because if you run out on the street, the roads aren’t crumbling and people aren’t running for their lives.
We can’t envision a global collapse because it still seems like a distant, unreachable thought that we keep pushing away.
Really, we are at the precipice of our manifestations on earth and there is no more time to keep living how we are. Why are we still using oil, having radiation pumped out, rapidly burning away our resources, then acting like this can continue for 10 more years? The real shift into this new paradigm will take place when there’s no more buffer time to keep putting these issues off. In the moments of true darkness, we will become the light.
In the end, there’s no need to be scared, we are eternal beings and everything is light and love. The point is we are defining what it truly means to live in a world of love and light. It is the process of everyone connecting to manifest a reality where we remember we are in control. We are the creators and we need to remember this before life on earth- within the third dimension is not possible.

The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love
for your dream for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon…
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own
without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us to be careful , be realistic
remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day.
And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you….
May you be content knowing you are a child of God….
Let this presence settle into our bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for you.
I AM
I AM the song you sing
I AM the wind that blows
I AM the drum beneath your fingertips
As the rhythm flows
I AM the first mornings light
I AM a bird’s call
I AM a cool breeze in the summertime
As the night falls
I AM the sparkle in your eyes
I AM the love you seek
I AM the fragrance of your flowers
As the springtime peaks
These aspects (the Rosetta, Mystic Rectangle, and Thor’s Hammer) repeat several times in October 2014. We have seen a similar pattern before: the Tokyo Earthquake of 2011. If we will see some kind of earthquake or meltdown remains to be seen, but lately the NYSE seems to have been a bit shakey.
We omit the Rosettas of Oct 2nd and Oct 10th as being similar to that of Oct 24th and note that they are similar and that in some important way these dates are tied together. (Hindsight will likely elucidate how.) Instead, we begin with the Mystic Rectangle of October 12th (which began as the Kite described in a previous post broke formation).

Greetings and Good Morning, Everyone. Happy Aloha Tuesday. Thank you, God, for this beautiful day.
Malala Yousafzai, 17, won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday along with the Indian children’s rights activist Kailash Satyarthi, 60, for “their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education.”
Yousafzai first caught the media’s attention at age 14, after she was shot in the head by a Taliban fighter for criticizing the organization’s tactics.
The young campaigner for women’s rights, who was favored to win the peace prize last year, memorably left Jon Stewart speechless during an interview on the Daily Show, a few days before the 2013 awards were announced.

You are the creator/creation of the thing looked to. The creator is you! If you maintain a clear kapu space, allow nothing to exist but your own Spirit Greatness and hold only thoughts and feelings that amplify greatness, that is what is created. Focus the hana on that: it’s your job!
How old is water? We often like to imagine that shortly after the earth solidified in its creation to be this rocky ball orbiting the sun, water came to be on this planet. It predates all biological life on earth, in fact – it paved the way for life to emerge. It is through water that biological life formed. (Click on image to read entire article.)
GENERAL PLANETARY INFLUENCES
Not a great deal of changes in the planets movements this week, apart from the Moon passing through signs approximately every 2 ½ days. Mercury, Uranus and Neptune all continue to travel Retrograde, which can cause some confusion, tendencies to off at ‘abstract’ angles in personal behaviour, and to be easily distracted, so complete honesty to ensure understanding is helpful. For this reason apart from the changes in planetary aspects, the horoscopes may seem very similar to last weeks, but more movement in the coming weeks.
The Sun is now about two thirds of the way through charismatic, diplomatic, but undecisive Libra, with a need for peace and quiet.
The Moon starts the week in light-hearted, talkative, agreeable Gemini. On Tuesday it moves into caring, emotional, defensive & sensitive Cancer, with a Last Quarter Moon on Wednesday, making us focus on personal goals. On Friday the Moon moves into domineering, exuberant, melodramatic Leo. On Sunday it moves into responsive, inquisitive, logical Virgo, finishing the week there.
Mercury is now traveling Retrograde through diplomatic, peace-loving, harmonious Libra, staying there until early November, causing some communication problems, and indecision.
Venus is now settled in diplomatic, persuasive, sensual Libra, until the middle of next week.
Mars is about two thirds of it’s way through resolute, avid, flexible, but cynical Sagittarius, with a need to find use energy constructively.
Jupiter is now over half way through compassionate, outgoing, positive, understanding Leo, staying there until well into 2015.
Saturn remains in responsible, shrewd, strong-willed Scorpio, until the end of 2014. It is now traveling Direct, enabling self expansion in some respects.
Uranus remains in assertive, blunt, energetic, self-willed Aries, for several years, and can make us individualistic and rebellious, unexpected events or disruptive emotional matters, may distract us, or help us see things differently. Uranus is currently travelling Retrograde until December, helping us be more imaginative, and come up with ingenious, creative ideas.
Neptune remains in compassionate, sensitive, intuitive Pisces for the foreseeable future, and helps us gradually develop more empathy, compassion, and build understanding, in a wide variety of ways, but shows a need to remain realistic. Neptune is now traveling Retrograde until Mid December, indicating boundaries between reality and illusion, causing possible confusion, with a need to remain realistic.
Pluto remains in Capricorn for quite a few years, so is a very long term influence, showing knowledge gradually acquired on deeper levels, with more realistic ways of recycling & developing our intuitive knowledge further, to use practically.

The Wisdom:
You are, after much work and toil, becoming realized. In a time such as this it may be confusing, feeling that everything is ending or falling apart. You have identified a major pattern that has been obstructing your path to happiness and satisfaction. It is an old pattern that you’ve often repeated, and now it must be left behind. It is showing itself and is in your face, like Cerberus, the three-headed monster guarding the gates of the Underworld to prevent those who have crossed the river Styx from ever escaping.
You now stand on the shore of the river, where love, abundance, and satisfaction await you on the other side. And it is here that this monster, your monster, is confronting you. It is here and now on this shore that you are to gather your strength and choose the appropriate time to make your crossing.
There is a warning in the original text that says not to proceed without careful consideration and a cohesive plan. By examining the Chinese pictograms for this hexagram we are reminded of the young fox that desperately want to cross the river, where her dreams of love and abundant hunting grounds await her on the other side. She sees there is ice on the river that can facilitate the crossing. But our young fox does not consider that the ice is not yet fully formed, and, throwing caution to the wind, she goes for it. Her exhilaration is momentary—the ice cracks, plunging her into the frozen water, and her crossing is thwarted. Now there is no way to recover, and she cannot try the crossing again.
The lesson is applicable here: pay close attention in order to recognize the proper timing, and make sure your plan is fully formed; then make your move.
After recently experiencing some beneficial advances. The temptation now, fostered by the ego’s impatience, is to embrace all your actions and continue to forge ahead. But this is not yet the correct time. Reflect and examine where you have been and what you have gone through to get to this point in your process; you will be sobered by this and will, as a result, want to proceed carefully.
Your passion to advance, which is a good thing, is triggering a kind of hormonal rush whereby all seems possible, and it is, but you are not quite fully prepared. Cool your jets. This is the time to embrace the changes that have occurred in your mind and in your heart. Allow what you have been processing to really be acknowledged on the emotional, feeling level as you move toward your destiny.
You are being given notice as you stand on the shore to take stock of your situation. You are at the gateway of great understanding. Be sure that what you have done in preparation for this change is in proper order. Look closely; you have tamed the inner chaos, and you have gathered the emotional, spiritual, and psychological food you need for the journey ahead. Well done! Now you must pay close attention to your timing, so that you will recognize the proper time to make your move. Look around you now. You may find a person, process, or situation of substance to appoint as your guardian at the gate while you make this transition and safely cross the river.
It is most important that you release the situations and people that have held you—and that you have held—in the bondage of old programs and patterns. This will leave you feeling free, light of spirit; you will have released the weight that has kept you from what your heart desires and what you are here in this life, at this time, to complete. This will allow you to be loved without bonds or conditions; this is free love.
In this moment in time you are the microcosm of the macro-changes that society and Gaia are experiencing, and you are given a powerful energetic wave to ride. It is this wave that fuels your intuition, that powerful mechanism that taps into the universal source of wisdom. Didn’t you notice how the universe sent you in the right direction, to the right place at the right time, almost as if you had no choice? Trust that this was your intuition operating at its finest vibration and highest frequency. This is an important part of the equation—trusting your intuition, which allows you to love without condition, and let yourself be loved in that same light, with no confusion, angst, or pain. Believe this: love without pain is possible!
Walk your path with dignity, compassion, kindness, and integrity. In this way you are greasing the wheels of the inner vehicle that will take you smoothly toward a new birth, a new and creative beginning.
At this time you will need no translator, shrink, shaman, or priest to tell you what is being said; rather, you will know it from your intuitive voice of inner wisdom, the voice that got you here, to stand at this place at this time, fully exposed and with no fear.
This is a rebirth and a new beginning. Close the old chapters and cut off the dead weight with a sharp, swift sword. Your releasing of the old will free yourself from the bondage of control of that person or pattern.
There will be great rewards as you make the commitment to leaving these old, worn patterns behind. You will find new people, new endeavors, and will birth new ideas that have been in formation all the time you were in bondage.
Laugh, sing, and be joyous, and let yourself be found. Love is the answer.
