Sunday evening we entered into the month of Scorpio, a most profound sign. When thinking of how to visualise its energies I reflected on its qualities, and then saw photos of the burning oil platform “Deepwater Horizon” which has sank last year in the Gulf of Mexico – an emblematic signal of Scorpionic qualities. In Spiritual Astrology Master EK says: “Secrecy is the key-note of the sign. Oil mines and hidden treasures are linked up with Scorpio. Wherever there is no possibility for the sunshine to enter and wherever there is constant darkness, there is the influence of Scorpio.”

And then he continued mentioning toxic substances being ruled by Scorpio and said: “Disappearance is the activity of this sign and the house. The disappearance of the light of the soul, through a gradual fall into matter-state is the process that occurs here. Suspension of consciousness, due to the predominance of the material plane on the higher planes is the activity. Death, loss of consciousness, fainting and coma are caused by the influence of this sign.”

The form of the divine Mother related to Scorpio is Kali, and so I searched for representations of Kali which would fit with the picture of the sinking oil platform. There was one drawing which fitted perfectly. So I started working on the picture. I first arranged the details in Photoshop, then printed it on paper and continued with working on details and colours. Afterwards I scanned the picture and worked on further details of the composition. The last step is printing the image on paper and readjusting the colours to increase the intensity to its maximum. It takes several prints until I’m satisfied with the outcome. When I was painting in the 80ies I was always trying to get most intense luminous colours, but it wasn’t possible due to the materials I had. Now, with the digital processing the pictures get a strong radiance.

The painting “Scorpio – The Dark Mother and the Consequences of Blindness” shows extreme contrasts – The fire-fighting vessels in front of the burning oil platform, then, in the fire, the Goddess Kali appearing in the dark circle, holding a caduceus topped by a skull. The destructions only touch the outer form, the inner truth remains. Man, however, trying to get the grip on the consequences of his greed, looses the game he started. Scorpio teaches through deep transformations transiting through death to a higher plane of understanding. May man learn through the self-generated catastrophes to respect nature and to cooperate with it instead of exploiting. You can see the picture also in the gallery “Images of Synthesis” and download a high-resolution version.

Scorpio – The Dark Mother and the Consequences of Blindness

Last Sunday I was in Oberägeri, in central Switzerland near the beautiful Ägeri lake. Anton Styger  had invited for the baptism of his new CDs on “Liberation from old patterns of suffering” and “Meditations and Soul Journeys“. I had made his acquaintance last month at a seminar on healing near the Lake of Constance and bought his books afterwards.

My wife and I were very impressed by them, they opened the doors to a deeper understanding of the subtle worlds and how to help people to liberate from karmic patterns, foreign spirit influences or to help departed ones who got stuck in the border regions to the physical world. Anton, being highly clairvoyant since his early childhood, has done a lot of liberation work and discovered through his journeys that millions of departed souls got stuck in the nether regions of the subtle worlds. This happens when people suddenly die, in accidents or in wars, and don’t realise that they are dead and don’t believe in a life after death. Their mental structures create for them the surrounding they have constructed themselves during life time, and so they are stuck in their patterns. Others got stuck because they realised after departing that they had hurt others and keep on trying to change something, without having the means for it. And many who died through wrong living, drugs or excessive kinds of living, are also caught in the cobweb of their desires. And the churches haven’t been of help, ignoring reincarnation and the planes of the worlds beyond.

Anton is working since years to help people to understand the subtle causes of suffering, and many came to him because they were at their wits’ end, also the graduated “specialists” in the fields of healing and psychology. In the last years he stopped with individual interventions, since the requests went into hundreds and thousands, and so he is now teaching groups and giving seminars.

At the CD baptism last Sunday about 100 persons had assembled in the hall. Anton and his soul mate Antonie came and greeted most of the people present. We had a short exchange and I told him that I would like to clear with him a point which had preoccupied me for a while. He said that after the lecture he would take some time.

He then spoke for half an hour, here are some thoughts of his talk:

“We all have brought our problems with us, but the good elements are also there. When we suffer we connect ourselves at the same time with the collective suffering of the world, and this can be very intense. We might feel pain which isn’t ours, and we should in no case identify with the suffering personality parts. As a spirit we connect with the true love, but never with the negative energies, we have to mark ourselves off immediately. When we go into suffering and don’t insulate ourselves, we easily get loaded with negative energies from the astral worlds.

With the help of prayers and rituals we can liberate ourselves from patterns of suffering. Many have the experience that the strains then go away quickly. But afterwards you have to continue with a constructive liberation work to dissolve the patterns, so that you get free from them and don’t take them with you through the whole life and thereafter. Nothing goes away by itself, also the impressions from previous lives. The CD show how to also dissolve feelings of guilt and rejections. We have taken over many opinions from the parents, grand parents and the like, but we have to be with ourselves. When we want to come to the source of life, we have to swim against the stream.”

Afterwards Anton presented the persons who helped him producing the CDs and then “baptised” them by sprinkling some water and speaking a beautiful prayer, invoking the Divine and the angels to help people finding help through these teachings.

Afterwards a little band started playing and people were invited celebrating the occasion with cakes and coffee… Many came and talked to Anton, I waited for a while until he found a moment for me. We went into a side-room where we spoke about my question. He took his tensor and measured with it some questions relating a situation connected with previous life events. He gave me some indications which were of a great relief.

When driving home I had a very peaceful feeling, having now closed the last chapter of a long story.

Even ad-agencies of insurance companies make now posters visualising beings of subtle worlds –  from a just running ad-campaign, at the main road of our village.

They have also produced other videos like Symphony of Science – “Children of Africa” (The Story of Us): “A musical celebration of humanity, its origins, and achievements, contrasted with a somber look at our environmentally destructive tendencies and deep similarities with other primates.”

or “The Poetry of Reality (An Anthem for Science)” (The Poetry of Reality is the fifth installment in the Symphony of Science music video series. It features 12 scientists and science enthusiasts.)

or “Our Place in the Cosmos” – great pictures….

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.

Inspiring video on the protest movement in New York against the heavy misuses of speculants and greedy bankers by occupywalsst.org. Today is a global action day, with protests in different countries. The media here reported on it. In the video it says: “A new angle on Occupy Wall Street reveals the strong micro community that has formed there.”

Very nice impressions of the royal wedding in Bhutan on 13.10.2011. Dignitaries and well-wishers gathered at an ancient monastic fortress to see King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk marry his bride, 21-year-old student Jetsun Pema. For days before the wedding, monks held dawn prayer sessions in remote mountain valleys.

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.
