Why This Part Of My Writings?
‘Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. Such a world in arms is not spending money alone, but also the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists and the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war humanity hangs on a cross of iron.’ Dwight D. Eisenhower, speech, American Society of Newspaper Editors, 16 April 1953
‘Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman and child in an attire of which kings and queens would be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole Earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship that is dedicated to peace.’ Charles Sumner
The many dramatised programs about the wartime events in Germany that can be seen on TV are an important part of motivation for writing this part of the jottings. Having endured some of them first hand, I have no stomach for watching any of them. But, I am told that some of these broadcasts seem to be creating the general impression that it would have been possible for the German civilian population to put an end to the Nazi terror. May this article help you draw your own conclusions about whether such a view is justified.
For a time, I considered whether it would be a good idea to present my memories of those days as one block, but in view of the nature of my writings this did not feel right. They are of an intuitive nature and represent a flow of consciousness that is like a river and like any river this one must be allowed to find its own way. The same as my writings, my beliefs and understanding have their origin in my inner guidance, the only truly trustworthy teacher and guru in the whole of Creation. To anyone who does not like this presentation I offer my sincere apologies and hope that you may find it worth your while to bear with me nonetheless.
It may interest you to know that all my work is done intuitively by following the promptings of my inner teacher and guru. I have conducted my life that way for a very long time, as I believe we are meant to. This is also how all my writings come into being. As a true child of the Aquarian Age, I hope, I listen to the tune of my own inner drum and march to its beat, another expression for following one’s intuition. I have always been a Maverick who enjoys nothing better than doing things my own way. I take the basics of any subject and then work with them in my own unique way, listening within. Quite some time ago, I studied the basics of first astrology and then numerology. The rest is self-taught, namely intuitive knowledge. The way I see it, if not at least some of us had always been prepared to work in this manner no progress would ever have been made in any field of human endeavour, especially not esoterically.
The inspiration for this part of my writings came when the Sun moved through Scorpio and the British Festival of Remembrance on the 11th November was drawing closer. Every year during the Sun’s transit through this sign the inner worlds draw closer to the outer, and the veil of consciousness that separates our two worlds is thinner than usual. Some important spiritual festivals are then taking place on the higher and highest levels of life; those on the Earth plane are their reflections. My interpretation of Scorpio in the Astro Files can help you find a better understanding of how the potent energies of this sign affect each one of us individually, our whole world and everything that shares it with us.
