The following has many words just as my books. But it is not information[i] but Knowledge. And Knowledge cannot be explained in a few words. This is my visionary knowing, philosophical knowledge and indigenous prophecies told to me of Mother Natures’ Revenge.
Before we delve into the body of knowledge, let’s explore BAT. It seems most logically that the virus began in a bat to animal and then to human. I’ve always had a close connection with bats. One story in our memoirs tells about the appearance of a bat in the middle of the day in sunlight on the Big Island of Hawaii a few days before my vision. And the latest experience was in October in the Yucatan on the shores of the Caribbean in the middle of the night I awoke to a wounded bat by my head. One wing was wounded and it couldn’t fly. I wondered at the bat’s significance:
Native American legends associate the bat with death because it flies at night and as a sign of rebirth because these bats always sleep with heads down. The face down act is associated to the position of the baby before birth. In the society of Shamans, the bat represents the desire to die a ritual death before one is able to develop into a new being. It is therefore an animal which represented initiations. And the nocturnal nature of the bat makes it, like the owl, a creature that has access to hidden knowledge and secret information, able to detect things in the hours of darkness that are not accessible to diurnal creatures. So I wondered and pondered the meaning for the future.
The Age of Aquarius/Sixth Sun
It is difficult to measure the transition time between the ending of the Fifth Sun and the Beginning of the Sixth Sun. The ending of the Fifth Age could have occurred in 2012. And keep in mind that this ending also includes the end of a Great Year of 26,000 years. The Wheel turns and the Great Year Cycle is birthed again after the transitional period—think of the pain right before childbirth. We are near the end of the transitional period before the birth of the Sixth Sun or the Age of Aquarius.
Is this virus Mother Natures’ way to restore balance and harmony to the earth, an earth that’s been and being destroyed by the greed of a few for power and materialistic wealth?
“If you can’t measure it, it doesn’t exist:”
The ancient Greeks were characterized by their talent for measure, which was primarily aesthetic related to beauty and style found in music and visual arts. Measure was also based on self-knowledge and proportion and associated with Apollo. Measure is never absolute but a measure of proportion, which means that it is neither the same for everyone nor identical in every circumstance.
The Greek Apollo was not only the god of measure but of science, philosophy, and the higher intellectual activities. This Apollonian spirit was exemplified by the Battle of Marathon, where two opposite value systems collided for the first time in history—the materialistic value system of Asia and the idealistic value system of pre-classical Greece, the former aiming at power, the latter at virtue. Today, at a global level, unbounded materialistic expansion has crowded out the Apollonian tradition of virtue. Unlimited economic growth on a planet with limited resources is not merely unsustainable. It is irrational. Five virtues of ancient Greece were fortitude, prudence, justice, sôphrosunê (temperance-right mixture, right balance), and measure.
The concept of measure was an essential part of life in pre-classical Greece. When we consider the classical concept of measure, which is akin to moderation and balance, its expression has been explicitly portrayed in architecture and the arts. “But in law, politics, the social sciences, and the behavioral sciences, measure is a fuzzy concept. This indeterminacy in the concept of measure, coupled with the human impulsive tendency to excess, has made many individuals, societies, and states prone to excessive aberrations from measure—i.e. to hubris, which has historically led societies, states, and even empires to disaster. Still, in the absence of a definition of measure, we may instead apply the criterion of sustainability to detect hubristic aberrations from measure early enough to curb their ill effects.”[ii] But it seems that sustainability is not a primary concern of our culture and society.
Another aspect of measure is symbolized by Nemesis, the Greek goddess that personifies justice and reinstitutes the balance of social order. Philosophically, there is a delicate relationship between measure, hubris, folly, and justice.
It seems that from our lack of measure but not the lack of hubris or folly, we are facing the possibility that Nemesis’ justice is being enacted by Mother Nature. Astrologically, Nemesis is Eris (dwarf planet) the feminine principle of retributive justice: the excluded guest who returns to balance the scales. Eris’s Greek opposite is Harmonia, which is usually translated as ‘harmony,’ but means any union in which the parts form a seamless whole while retaining their distinct identities. Harmonia is the daughter of sea-born Aphrodite and fiery Ares, whom Empedocles identified with Love and Strife, the two primary cosmic forces, which bring about all change in the universe. Pythagoras likewise said that cosmic Harmonia is born of the union of Love and Strife. She reconciles all oppositions.
Astrology
The power and truth of astrology has been verified since ancient times. Presently, based on the extraordinary ontological opus of the physicist David Bohm (1917 – 1992), a colleague of Albert Einstein, astrology is still seen as a valid and sacred science.
“David Bohm’s most significant contribution to science is his interpretation of the nature of physical reality, which is rooted in his theoretical investigations, especially quantum theory and relativity theory. Bohm postulates that the ultimate nature of physical reality is not a collection of separate objects (as it appears to us), but rather it is an undivided whole that is in perpetual dynamic flux.
For Bohm, the insights of quantum mechanics and relativity theory point to a universe that is undivided and in which all parts ‘merge and unite in one totality.’ This undivided whole is not static but rather in a constant state of flow and change…. Bohm calls this flow the holomovement – holo, meaning holographic-like, and movement, suggesting dynamism and process. . . . In other words, the nature of reality is a single unbroken wholeness in flowing movement. So, everything is connected and everything is in dynamic flux. I further explain this in the Endnotes of Tequila and Chocolate.
Seeing the Big Picture:
Astrologically, is 2020 extraordinary significant? More so than you can imagine.
The cycles that begin in 2020 express the interrelationships between the planets farthest from the Sun: Jupiter through Pluto. It is this group that gives us a glimpse of how humanity as a whole is evolving
The 2020 Saturn-Pluto Conjunction
The fact that the 2020 conjunctions are packed into one twelve-month period will doubtless make it a highly memorable year. But these transits do not apply merely to the calendar year in which they happen. They’re also the starting guns for ongoing processes that will unfold over decades and centuries.
The Saturn-Pluto conjunction, for example, can be seen as describing the period from January 2018 through December 2021 (15° orb) and peaking from December 2019 through January 2020 (1° orb). But the chart of the conjunction’s one and only pass is not just that of a transit. It’s the birth chart of a cycle 33 years long.
Distant in a literal sense, the outer planets also give us distance in a philosophical sense: Their cycles cover enough historical ground to help us see the big picture.
This is a remarkably disconnected chart; Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and the Moon make no close Ptolemaic aspects to other planets. The Capricorn grouping (cluster) monopolizes the show, with Saturn, Pluto, the Sun, Mercury, and Ceres squeezed within a couple of degrees. The fact that they are all squaring Eris establishes the main plot of the chart.
Keep in mind that Eris is the feminine principle of retributive justice: the excluded guest who returns to balance the scales.
Given the political upheaval afoot everywhere in the world, and now the coronavirus, it is not surprising to see Eris pitted against that stellium in the sign of social cohesion. The Capricorn cluster is crowded into the 10th and 11th houses of government and its various agencies. This is the story of traditional institutions (Saturn) being gutted and reshuffled (Pluto) by societal forces that have been shut out of the action (Eris).
Saturn-Pluto Cycle
As cycles go, the Saturn-Pluto relationship offers astrologers a neat chunk of time — three decades plus — by means of which to draw a bead on geopolitical changes. One of the themes we see repeated through history is the crumbling and reformation (Pluto) of sovereign states (Saturn). It represents a process of crisis, transformation, destruction of the current system, authority figures or institutions; the established order of existence come to an end.
Additionally, since 2008 until 2024 Pluto has been transiting through the sign of Capricorn. Pluto is the king of evolution in that it transforms and regenerates—the planetary archetype of death and resurrection. Capricorn deals with the infrastructures of life such as government. It is a business oriented materialistic sign dealing with the necessities of life and survival. Capricorn would definitely be identified as capitalistic. In other words, Pluto takes what is not working, radically changes it or destroys it if necessary, and then restores it into something much better—death and re-birth on a grand scale. Pluto rules over something that is ever-increasing in American society—debt, while Capricorn deals with real estate.
Jupiter and Saturn
Though the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn every twenty years is always important, their union in 2020 has special and extraordinary significance. Jupiter and Saturn have a pattern of forming their conjunctions in the same element of astrology for approximately two hundred years, such as occurring in water signs from the beginning of the fifteenth century until the beginning of the seventeenth century and in fire signs from the beginning of the seventeenth century until the beginning of the nineteenth century. Since 1802 the Saturn and Jupiter conjunctions have been occurring in earth signs, with the final one occurring on May 28 of 2000 in Taurus. After the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius in 2020, there will continue to only be conjunctions between Jupiter and Saturn in tropical air signs until 2159.
Thus 2020 is at the end of a two-hundred-year era of Jupiter and Saturn uniting in earth signs. While the earth element signifies focus on material security and consolidation of resources that is resistant to change, the era of air will bring disruption to established orders and dramatic changes in collective ideas and the way we communicate. Vitally, not only will Jupiter and Saturn be uniting in Aquarius, they will also be forming a catalytic square aspect with Uranus in Taurus. At this pivotal moment in our journey, the lightning bolts of Jupiter and Uranus will not only bring down old societal structures but will also impel us to release old personal dreams and drama we have been attached to. There will be new challenges and unknown potential arising as we begin a new era of Jupiter and Saturn that we will need to make space for in our lives. During 2020 ask yourself what you need to leave behind and what you truly desire to carry forward.
Age of Aquarius/Sixth Sun
The earth era now waning can be described as materialistic, both in the usual sense of the word — fetishizing wealth as well as in the philosophical sense of the word — presuming the realm of matter to be more real than the realms of ideas or spirit. In the air cycle about to begin, this paradigm will be reversed. Ideas will be prioritized over matter. Spirit prioritized over matter.
The shift to air — a cool, intellectually rigorous element seems like an apt corrective to the ideologically enflamed climate we find ourselves in now. It is refreshing to imagine the approach that Aquarius, the most dispassionate of signs, might bring to the overheated flashpoints of our day, such as ethnicity, nativism, and sexual identity — issues that have become distorted by emotional partisanism, with prejudice posing as objective fact.
The air element is a proud aficionado of objective fact. A Jupiter-Saturn cycle in Aquarius will tend to rely on hard data, rather than personal feeling, to direct social judgments and policies. For example, demographic studies indicate that human populations are becoming more diverse all over the world. This shift toward heterogeneity is deeply threatening to many, in that it undercuts ways of profiling human identity that have been sacrosanct for centuries: what country we’re from, what race, what religious background. But Aquarius, as the most future-minded of the signs, is well equipped to accommodate the new realities.
At its highest, Aquarius looks at people not as members of a religious or ideological group (as Sagittarius does), nor as members of a certain socioeconomic class (as Capricorn does), but as members of the human species — a species that differs from all others in its capacity for abstract thought. The idea that we have misused this power is not new. But what may be new, in the upcoming cycle, is a peculiarly Aquarian construction of humanity’s role in global crises. Without an acknowledgment of that role, solutions to these crises would be impossible.
The following is excerpted from Husfelt, Tequila and Chocolate, 406 – 408:
Sixth Sun
In Mesoamerican belief our present age is known as the Fifth Sun. The First Sun was known as Nahui Ocelotl, the Sun of Jaguars; the Second as Nahui Ehecatl, the Sun of Wind; the Third as Nahui Quiahuitl, the Sun of Rain; and the Fourth as Nahui Atl, the Sun of Water. Each of these ages ended with the destruction or death of the current age which then allowed the rebirth of the next or “new age.” The destruction of the world by water at the end of the Fourth Age corresponds with the worldwide destructive flood mythology of many cultures.
Our Fifth Sun is the Sun of Movement (Nahui Ollin), meaning Earth shaking or change. The glyph for movement is called Ollin and is positioned in the center of the Mesoamerican Calendar of the Five Ages. This is a glimpse into the ending of our Fifth Sun and the transition to the enlightened Age of the Sixth Sun.
Each Solar Age has an undertaking. When that mission is completed, we move on to the next Sun. The mission of the Fifth Sun has been to bring our entire planet together through the principles of movement and measure– think air travel and internet. The transition from the Fifth Sun to the Sixth Sun of Consciousness will be a time of Earth shaking and change from the greed and inequality of the Fifth Sun to the enlightened Age of the Sixth Sun.
According to Mayan Elder Don Tomás Calvo an “image to illustrate the end of the Mesoamerican calendar is a serpent swallowing its tail. He and the other Elders believe a self-consuming snake symbolizes the upcoming era of the ‘Sixth Sun,’ one which brings the past to the present in order to construct a brighter future. The Elders also say they want to remind the world how important it is to live in harmony with oneself, the ancestors, the Earth, our environment, all living creatures and the greater cosmic order.”[iii] Please note that the serpent swallowing its tail is symbolic of Quetzalcóatl.[iv]
And I do agree with the elders. A snake eating its own tail is named an Ouroboros, a “tail biter,” with the meaning of infinity or wholeness. In an eternal cycle of renewal, the tail-eating serpent symbolizes the cyclic nature of the Universe: creation out of destruction, life out of death. It is essential to recognize that the Ouroboros “was also the symbol of the early Christian religion and philosophy known as Gnosticism. In its doctrines, Jesus tells the Virgin Mary: ‘The outer darkness is a great serpent, the tail of which is in its mouth, and it is outside the whole world, and surroundeth the whole world.’ Gnosticism also taught that the serpent and the Christ were interchangeable figures, and that both were saviours or ‘redeemers.’”[v]
The death of the Fifth Sun results in the life of the Sixth Sun – an age of wholeness or Oneness. This is Jesus’ Sun and Quetzalcóatl’s Sun, the Sun of Consciousness. It will be the Age of the Divine Human – Hombre-Dios. It will be an age of the heart, truth, freedom, and equality.
The Sixth Sun will be Xochitl Tonatiuh, the Sun of Flowers. Our Fifth Sun and the Sixth Sun are reflections of the last two day-signs of the Nahuatl tonalámatl, the Sacred Calendar. The nineteenth day-sign, “Quiáhuitl, rain, signifies not rain of water – but rain of fire such as destroyed the Third World, and represents the fiery torments of self-sacrificing penitents. Its deity is of course Tonatiuh, the solar god of the Fifth World. The twentieth and last day-sign is xóchitl, flower. The deity is Xochiquétzal, goddess of flowers. As the ‘House of Flowers.’[vi] the human heart, we understand that xóchitl here symbolizes the budding blossom of the human spirit at last freed from duality.”[vii]
The Sixth Sun – a time to look forward to as xóchitl is love and the search for union. It’s happiness. It’s sex. The Sun of Flowers is when humanity comes to flower.
The End and the Beginning
Humanity will no longer see through a glass darkly but face to face. No longer will man and woman be a mirror of the Truth but the Truth itself. In the church at Esperaza, France stands a statue witness to this message. In the left hand is an open book on which a child sits, caressing the statues face lovingly. In the right hand is held a bunch of lilies. The solar Forces are portrayed by the child who is the little king, the Love which is the Sulphur of the alchemists, and the pure white lilies, the Philosophical Mercury. At last the earthly twin has learned the lesson of Love and the balance is restored, the male becoming the female, the female, the male. And the open book? It is “The Book of Love.”[viii]
[i] The word philosophy comes from the Greek φιλοσοφία [philosophia], which literally translates as “love of wisdom.” Wisdom derives from the following formulas: information without experience remains just information: I = I; information combined with experience results in knowledge: IE = K; wisdom flows from the combination of knowledge and its experience: KE = W.
Divine Humanity prescribes to Five Wisdoms: 1) Divine Wisdom that is the eternal source of knowledge; 2) Reflective Wisdom that reflects reality without distortions; 3) Wisdom of Equality that recognizes all things as equal in their divine sense and honors their intrinsic value in a relative sense; 4) Wisdom of Observation by the mind without subjective distortion; and 5) Wisdom of Action are actions that help sentient beings awaken and bring them to enlightenment such as our books and our writings and teachings
