Religious Fanaticism & Peace

[Guest guest]

Dear Juliana and all:

 

Synchronistically I had just posted elsewhere the similarity between the

birthdates of the Dalai Lama (1935) and George Bush (1946) who both have

the same birthday, July 6. It is interesting to me how differently each leader

views war (as well as aggression) and approaches its resolution, with the

Dalai Lama representing the feminine, spiritual side of surrender (to a higher

law of peace, love, goodness, and compassion) while affirming the truth or

injustice of oppression and aggression. I think this is the "karmic completion"

of the Kala Sarpa Yoga that both Tony Blair and George Bush are being

asked to acknowledge and change their old "masculine" warships approach

to find a resolution that does not continually require the sacrifice of innocent

life and that perpetuates the continuation of those who hold the cherished

values and ideals that both Bush and Blair, and all of us, claim they are

fighting a war for. Continuing along this age old path of aggression only

assures that innocent, nurturing, potentially majestic, and feminine life forms

will continue to be tragically sacrificed during these violent power struggles

between nations. This is an old and outworn masculine paradigm: the true

warrior battles the forces of darkness within...first.

 

I would be interested in someone comparing these two charts to find out if

there is a preponderance of testosterone, or other planetary, mental and

biological imbalance that is being played out in the collective destructive

dramas that are unfolding.

 

I too shall continue to pray for peace.
