Of Ambitions And Giant Amoeba: It's 8 O'Clock In The Morning

You would like to believe that you have some control over your life. You prefer to think that you are quite reasonable, and responsible for the order, or disorder that surrounds you. Such illusions do pacify. But in truth, what do you know? What of the influences ever at work upon you?

You are subject, without wanting or willing it, to every sound, vision, view, vibration, thought and rainstorm that ever was - or ever shall be. And it is (I know) an even more noxious thought to you, that every fact and facet of your life has been decided upon in advance - perhaps in advance of your birth. Your perversities certainly were so determined, and determined too is your rebellion against this idea. Too your hard-wrought genius - all.


My peculiar combination of temperament and tastes easily accepts the idea of a predetermined destiny. Odd, is it not, in such an one you might think would be overweeningly convinced of freewill and a private, powerful control? And neither can I know where my reach extends or ends in the world, nor, most saliently, how my influence over another human being may work, for good or ill, or if at all. That good gestures can generate evil, and that cruelty and indifference may render up good, are but more arguments pleasing to my Whim to grasp that ineffable Deterministic. In a predetermined universe, I know myself as already as perfect as I shall ever be. My conviction of my own innate perfection, the direction this consciousness turns me in, sets me far apart from you striving free-willers, always in the agony of attainment. I have attained - and it had nothing to do with me.

You who insist most wildly upon your individual, free-willed grasp - you are anxious! Go on building your private metaphysic, insist that order is your subjective doctrine. You are nothing! For within I see there still must be that other - that Someone — who is Always Correct! The ideal of the Supreme Being rises to accede to your needful gaze. Must you be reminded that this “greater” is ever a fantasy? May you go insane under the imperative of a Perfection never to be realized.

Needless to say any attempt on my part to be a Perfection, for all of you, is a thing I will not hazard. But you seekers shall find me out, to rest in the shade of my pure conviction of Beauty and Strength. These virtues at times have little to do with pleasingness, and even less with selfsatisfaction. I am bound by a Divine Right to be utterly what I am and no more. I am grateful to be thus only slightly a cripple. My dread predetermination may not be pretty, but it is my only story.

Would you attain to True Submission? Would you know and love an One Who is Always Correct? Feeling, and knowing Void in yourself, that place where you know you have no control, I tell you to fill it with your passion, no matter what that might be, whatever the horror of it. Feed it to the flame of wild unrestraint - feed those flames, and your face to the flames. Our blessing thus upon you, to feel how faceless you can be ...

Burn, and reflect; burn and reflect. Then, turn your eyes again upon the Superior: you find you are gazing upon some massy, overwrought ego. But such as They are Certain, while you do remain eternally at odds. And though your Superior may yet prove unworshippable, still They are Gods and you are not.

Cast for this site

PAST:
The four of Cups symbolizes a stubborn person in contemplation, the man guards what he has even though he's unhappy with his situation he refuses to see the potential of what's being offered to him. The mans crossed arms and legs symbolize his blocked emotions. The three cups are symbolizing his possessions/achievements, although these are being watched over they are not held, this is symbolizing his apathy towards them. The cups on the ground are still upright to symbolize ongoing affections.

PRESENT:
The ten of Wands symbolizes an excess of burdens, physical exhaustion and letting ongoing commitments keep you from fresh goals. The house symbolizes a fresh goal. He holds the wands in a way that blocks him and his view of the house, this symbolizes a self made barrier that keeps him away. The lush growth behind the house symbolizes the fruits he could gain by reaching that goal. The clear skies tell us there is no turmoil involved in his endeavours, if only he would let some of those burdens drop, or ask for help.

TRANSFORMATION:
Temperance in tarot symbolizes fairness, moderation and patience. The triangle on her chest symbolizes the mind, body and soul combined. The water flowing from one cup to another in a seemingly impossible manner symbolizes the flow of knowledge from the unconscious to conscious mind. The pool of water symbolizes our inner world of feelings and the land symbolizes the real world, she stands with one foot in each symbolizing a connection between the two. A path leads from the pool through mountains to a great light, the light symbolizes knowledge of eternal life.
Temperance tells us to be ourselves, but are we brave enough to show our inner selves.

FUTURE/FINAL OUTCOME:
The eight of Pentacles symbolizes hard work and self improvement, craftsmanship and enthusiasm. The man concentrating on his work tells us discipline is needed to get things right. The bench symbolizes a simple workspace with no distractions. The hung pentacles are symbolizing his achievements so far. The discarded pentacle on the ground is telling us that practice makes perfect. The man works alone, away from the city and people, but he is out in the open which tells us he's not worrying about others thoughts.

I Ching for this site at this time:

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 49 - Ko (Revolution): What takes place is believed in only after it has been accomplished. There will be great progress and success. Advantage will come from being firm and correct. In that case, occasion for repentance will disappear.
	The second line, divided, shows its subject making his changes after some time has passed. Action taken will be fortunate. There will be no error.
	The third line, undivided, shows that action taken by its subject will be evil. Though he be firm and correct, his position is perilous. If the change has been three times fully discussed, he will be believed.
	The situation is shifting, but neither Yin (the passive feminine force) nor Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 58 - Tui (Joy): There will be progress and attainment, but it will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Tui (Lake), which represents joy, pleasure, and attraction.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.

What you remote view isn't there any more. :(

Still no final figure on the casualties... I still think it's around 14,000.

Lucky Numbers- play the market, play lotto... and WIN!

Loads and loads of folk tell us that there's no such thing as luck, let alone lucky numbers.

It just isn't true.

Birthdays win lotto more than 30% of the time worldwide. That means non-random numbers are beating random numbers beyond statistical chance, year in and year out.

Likewise psychic predictions.

Some people say why don't psychics use their gifts to make money?

Well, two things.

First, the nature of some psychic powers, and the forces that give them, is such that you cannot profit from using your gifts.

The other psychic powers have no restrictions... and the handful of people with real psychic powers, like your old 8-Ball here... well we DO use our gifts to make money. And occasionally someone comes forward who is prepared to share the happiness and make YOU money too! AND HERE I AM!
