Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 I am currently in an airplane at 9000 feet above the Bay Area where my body was born this time. I am looking down at the surface below. I see the neighborhoods of the greater San Francisco Bay Area below. I notice some things. I am fixed in the air, hanging here, moving yes, but with a rather slow, fixed view of things. This is what I see: The rich homes, have “loopier” streets, more curvy and roundish. The rich homes have roofs which are generally lighter in color than the rest of the neighborhoods. The wealthy like to go to the outskirts, to get away from everyone else. Like the nice loopy street neighborhoods in the hills around the Bay Area stand out. The homes look “fatter” and bigger, just a wee bit, from up here. But it’s visible. Clearly noticeable. The new neighborhoods of large homes are all on the edge, up against the trees. They look newer, loftier, larger, fatter, with pools, on the edge, round streets. It’s not like that in the flat, dark, old, gridlike neighborhoods of the Oakland and Berkeley ghettos where mostly dark people live. In the outskirts nice bedroom communities, it’s mostly not Blacks and Browns, but Whites and Yellows. This I know, since I lived there most of my life. Lighter houses, lighter skins, lighter rooftops, and so on. Efficiency is not as required, hence the curvy streets. In these neighborhoods, the idea is pleasure, not efficiency. The children are protected- more guards, more alarm systems, more caring ever watchful parents and servants. All Jupiter! Their homes are larger, and they have little ponds with them. Larger, water, lighter. Sounds like Jupiter. Yes, wealth and Jupiter are friends. In this world, when we “win”, we try to get away from others, to get more room, to get a pond of water, an oasis, in which to cool and float. Jupiter owns one water sign, and is exalted in another. The poorer we are the more we are cramped in with others, in darker, older, neighborhoods. We are thus “forced” to deal with other people. It seems that learning how to deal with others gives us the right to leave them and get a bigger, lighter roofed, house with a pond (pool) away from the older darker parts of town, and we get curvyer streets to navigate our larger vehicles upon. The wealthy need the masses to buy products, and must live nearby to run their businesses, but they avoid, hence their tendency to be “edge livers”. We go to the city, to earn the means, to leave the city and “enjoy the country”. If we are in the country without the money and provisions of the city, we walk back to the city. So in this way, the pendulum of acquisition and consumption swings in us all. So the most obvious secret, from the Aquarian view I currently enjoy, is that we are one with duality. We are interdependent, in order to become independent. Just as we go to the city to acquire the means to leave it, so also we come to this world, to acquire the means to leave it. While here, as in the city, it is crowded, dark, old and poor. Once we have “done our business”, and once successful at the business for which we’ve come, we can travel in a nice car to our nice country home in Vaikuntha or Vrndavan (the Spiritual Worlds) Om.
