Some days ago I came across a website on “The Astronomy and Astrology of the Dwarf Planets“. I didn’t know how many so-called dwarf planets have been discovered in the last years, you find more on this in Wikipedia.

But what interests me is how Nick Anthony Fiorenza on his above site explains how to explore the astrology of newly discovered objects in our solar system. He outlines several things “that can give us significant insight into the astrological nature of new astronomical bodies” and describes the qualities of the dwarf planets. He especially describes Haumea and Makemake. So he attributes to Haumea “an essence of ‘purity’ or a birth of specialness, the ability to produce a fresh or clear state of consciousness” – Haumea being the Hawaiian Goddess of Childbirth and Fertility.

And Makemake is the Polynesian name for the creator god of humanity in the mythology of the South Pacific island of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). His association with the lunar constellation Revati “indicates involvement with economics and money–material wealth gained from participating in the dramatic psycho-emotional world of human affairs–where the bucks are.”

“As above so below.” It says that the consciousness of humanity opens up to new dimensions whenever a new planet gets discovered. All these trans-Neptunian objects discovered in the last decades indicate that we are heading ahead into new and still quite unfathomable dimensions of this great time of transition.

Extremely beautiful videos by John Banks – like dancing through the Deva world. Autumn Architecture Energy “strives to visualize all the interior energy and forms that I sense while experiencing the forest at the peak of Fall. I was not thinking this when making it, but it owes a nod to graphic novel techniques for showing energy as light and lines coming off of objects. I try to utilize the technologies in a way that brings out the character of a scene. It’s obvious, but I like to visualize that essence that I feel in a place. There is a sense of being inside a cathedral or an old castle when walking deep in the Autumn woods….”

Another video, Glow Temple “is the last in a series entitled the Journey Cycle. These short films loosely follow a dreamlike continuum of travels through a lost book. … Ancient alchemical writings move us along to find the key. The goal was to create an experience that would transport you without being specific, hence the unknown language.”

A great time-lapse video taken from the front of the International Space Station as it orbits our planet at night. This movie begins over the Pacific Ocean and continues over North and South America before entering daylight near Antarctica.

This morning a beautiful golden light spread its magic and made things glow in a very special hue.

A very interesting video about ancient pyramids, underwater structures and artefacts hinting at our mysterious past. Beautiful cosmic artworks from different South American countries.

Today I was on a staff excursion into the Swiss Jura, which I had organised together with a colleague for the team of our Marketing and Communication department. About 30 persons came for the tour. As the train entered the mountains the clouds dispersed and gave way for a beautiful clear autumn sky. We stopped at Saint Imier, where the world-famous watch enterprise Longines is located.

The Longines building

We had the good luck that the “patron”, the director of Longines himself gave us the presentation – thanks to the good relations of my colleague who knew him personally. A very impressive presentation about how Longines has worked over 160 years building up not just a watch empire, but emotions about watches. He showed us the many stars and sports-people working as “ambassadors of elegance”, high-ranking names from the fields of cinema, sport, adventurers (Lindbergh proposed to Longines the development of a special watch for his first transatlantic flight in 1929…). So glamour is not just a casual emotional result, but the outcome of long-lasting and highly directional strategies.

Later we had a guided tour through the Longines museum – fascinating watches and insights into how chronometers developed over the last 150 years.

Every watch since the beginning carries the same logo, a number by which it can be identified, and the details are registered in books with the name of the seller, the date and the price – hundred-thousands of watches – a unique library.

Later we had our lunch in the village and then proceeded to the “funiculaire”, a funicular railway driven by solar energy bringing us up to the “Mont Soleil”, the sun mountain – and really, it was very sunny today.

The Funicular

After a 20 minutes walk we arrived at the solar energy park, where they are testing different kinds of photovoltaic systems as per their efficiency.

Two guides gave us insights into the technologies and difficulties of creating energy from the sun.

In the background and farther away on the mountain there was a park with wind turbines – the only one up to now in Switzerland.

We had a 30 minutes walk along the mountain and stopped at a barn, where a farmer woman had prepared for us a little picnic with different kinds of cheese, bread, water and wine from the area. A bus then picked us up and brought us to Biel, from where we returned by train to Berne.

A friend today sent me this nice parable. Enjoy

It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions. After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the warmth that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.

Moral of the story: The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person’s good qualities.

The real moral of the story……Learn to live with the pricks in your life.

4th of August is Master CVV‘s 143rd birthday (Indian counting: 144th), being born on Tuesday, 4th of August, 1868 (see here about his birth chart and also at the end of the text, and here the ephemerides of 1868). He is known as The Aquarian Master, who, in 1910, anchored the energy of synthesis on our planet.

In the book “Mystic Mantrams and Master CVV” Master EK writes about Master CVV:

The New Era
Evolution is a gradual expansion of consciousness. This expansion takes place from atom to man. As we look around we find men in different stages of evolution. The differences between saint and sinner, between genius and idiot, are only reconcilable with the conception of the law of evolution. This evolution is the heritage of all men. At the zenith of this evolutionary ladder stand some persons whom we call gurus or Masters. They stand as the torchbearers to the humanity only to shed light on the path to assist its evolution.
The birth of Master C. V. V. marked the beginning of a new era of Hierarchical activities. Contact on the personal level increases on a large scale and the activity of personal transaction establishes the soul link. It results in establishing communion of pure human values on international level.
Master EK, “My Light”, 22-7-1977

A video from an Arab TV shows the dance of a beautiful transparent eel larva ballerina (leptocephalus larva).

Wikipedia explains, “A leptocephalus (meaning “slim head”) is the flat and transparent larva of the eel,.. Leptocephali (more than one leptocephalus) all have laterally compressed bodies that contain transparent jelly-like substances on the inside of the body and a thin layer of muscle on the outside. Their body organs are small, and this combination of features results in them being very transparent when they are alive.”

Never seen such a creature – such a delicate, rhythmic movement full of of easiness. Enjoy.

An Indian friend sent me the link to this sublime video: “Lotus Flower Images – On White“, by photographer Bahman Farzad. Music by Ahmad Farzad, – a father-son production. There is another video by both: Lotus Flower Images. See also the website. Sublime!
