We’ve allowed this culture of money to shut down our heart, close off access to our soul, and drive us such that we behave in ways that undermine and erode the very center and core of our most human values. I believe it’s possible to transform our relationship with money and the culture of money that we’ve created in a way that resources continue to flow, that prosperity continues to be available, and that all of us can be served, nurtured and empowered to more fully express who we are as the human family.

I learned a lot about money from a woman named Gertrude.

I met her in a church basement in Harlem. I was doing a small fundraising event for The Hunger Project. I had come from Minneapolis where I had met with an executive of a large food company. The food company had an image problem and…

“The act of perception is always open ended and unfinished.” David Abram

The last quarter Moon is Wednesday at 16 degrees of Aries which will aspect the ongoing Pluto/Uranus square. This is a good time to look at intentions set at the last New Moon on June 16 to see what progress has been made and what adjustments need to be made.

Mercury leaves the sign of Gemini this week and enters the sign of Cancer also on Wednesday. With this placement thoughts tend to be deeper and of a more emotional, personal and subjective nature.
One of the Sabian symbols associated with this transit is,”A man on a magic carpet observes vast vistas below.”

Five fun facts about Thomas Paine, firebrand of the American War of Independence

1. Paine’s pamphlet Common Sense remains one of the bestselling books in American publishing history. In 1776 alone it is thought to have sold in excess of 100,000 copies. Paine’s pamphlet Common Sense argued for independence for America, and when Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in 1776, he drew heavily on Paine’s work (Paine was also the first person to use the phrase ‘United States of America’). John Adams would later say, ‘Without the pen of the author of Common Sense, the sword of Washington would have been raised in vain.’

July Horoscope Astrology

Astrology Online Report For July 2015

July will be full of contrasts, starting off with some highs and ending with some possible lows if you don’t make some concessions. Saturn and Mars promise to set some limitations in the second half of the month which could see a few nerves being jarred and challenges to be confronted. Try to keep your cool and avoid conflict.

A major vote in Greece will occur today that will both shape the future of its economy and Europe’s monetary union. The Greek Bailout Referendum has now become critical, for if the Greek voters vote “No” and side with Tsipras government, then there will be a very sharp recession over the next few months, tax collection will collapse,  and the Tsipras government is unlikely to survive the economic collapse. However, if  the public votes “yes,” then  the existing government will likely be reorganized, the banks will be able to reopen, and conclude the terms set by the European Union.

Greeks just started (as of this writing) casting ballots today in the closely watched bailout referendum, with opinion polls showing people evenly split on whether to accept the EU creditors’ proposals for more austerity in exchange for additional rescue loans, or defiantly reject the deal and leave the Eurozone.

Will the Greeks Vote to Leave…

It’s Decision day in Greece, I don’t want to get into predicting  on this. I synchronistically came upon this image and tracked it down. A picture is worth a thousand words. The pic is from a movie by famous Greek Film Director Theo Angelopoulos,translated as Landscape In The Mist whose synopsis perfectly encapsulates Greece’s current situation, as well as the rest of the world. chaos Uranus…. what do you think? 

Moon enters Pisces in the a.m.  Film, illusion, delusions, projection….

Dream on…. this is the perfect illustration for Greece right now

Landscape in the Mist a 1988 Greek Director Theo Angelopoulos

SYNOPSIS by Theo Angelopoulos 
LANDSCAPE IN THE MIST is a film about the void. It is a film about despair, about the failure of contemporary society. The prodigal father who figures in almost every Angelopoulos film here has evaporated into his mythical essence – leaving his children to become the wanderers in…

The uniqueness of writing is similar to how a fingerprint is to each individual. At first glance, they may seem the same, but upon closer inspection, they are vastly different from each other. It’s part of what I find so interesting and enthralling about writing as it is precisely what makes us like or dislike different content.

But one should note that there is a difference between style and skill, and neither should be confused for the other.

Style is what adds flavor to the writing. It is how the writer pieces together sentences and push the flow of the content towards a current. Style is word choice and dialogue preferences and common habits of the writer. Think Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.

Skill is how a writer structures a story. It is how they know when to use a different word, or slip in a subtle description. Skill is…
