Twin Flames
There is no sense of separation from all that exits.
In this state of being, one is complete and authentic as originally co-created with God.
It is divine unconditional love; it is absolute perfection.
In this state, there is no perception of good or bad, right or wrong; there is no judgement;
there is no time or space...it is simply being.
It is fully experiencing NOW; it is experiencing the moment with full consciousness.
It is a state of bliss.
It is heaven on earth....there are hardly adequate words to describe it.
One has to experience it and then one will KNOW.
It is a knowingness of just how magnificent all there is really IS.

The First Quarter Moon of Monday, May 28th, brings up the minor crisis indicated by the Sun and Moon in square to each other and reflects back on the energies of the very potent recent Solar Eclipse that emphasizedPluto, just as the Uranus-Pluto square is becoming quite close. This phase is generally associated with working out the original urge of the New Moon, as that impulse interacts with the necessities implicit in the actual real-world situation. In this instance the Moon is trine Pluto and quincunxUranus, while applying to Mars and opposed to Chiron in Pisces. Mercuryis conjuncted by the Sun in this configuration, and squares Chironexactly, meaning that certain aspects of long-buried trauma are coming into consciousness, leading to healing them. This phase paves the way for the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse that comes along a week later and also redolent of difficulty, metamorphosis and lasting change.
Wherever we have Capricorn or Pisces in our charts, those areas are subject to situations arising that are clues to where we have been wounded in the past and have stored up the residue in hidden pain; areas that were traumatically influenced by early childhood shock and distress. These are the same areas where we now have the golden opportunity to better recognize ourselves at deep levels and be enabled to move beyond alienation and suffering into healing. Then the knee-jerk reactions that stem from this sort of ancient wounding and that interfere at times with our best intentions for ourselves can begin to be recognized and acknowledged.
The increased tensions of this period reflect on the developmental arc of our lives leading to the transformation which is proceeding apace for all of us during this powerful year, and coming to a crescendo at the time of these late May and early June eclipses. The Sun is almost exactly conjunct the Moon’s South Node, another indication that information from the past is very relevant for the present, as we learn to modulate and contain the information flooding in. As it does, we need faith in ourselves and in the beneficence of the universe to hold us through our process – as a child is held – allowing us to remain open to both unfolding painful realizations and the joy of progress that allows us to move down and through, and eventually out the other side.

Fifty shades of Grey Trilogy has wicked sales
CBS/AP) NEW YORK - The "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy is making lots of green.
Sales for E.L. James' erotic novels are at 10 million and counting, making it among the fastest-selling series of all time.
The explicit sensation has topped charts practically from the moment Vintage Books released it in early April. Reprints have exceeded 900,000 copies in a single day, the publisher announced Tuesday. Total sales include paperbacks, e-books and audio books. Vintage is a paperback imprint of Random House Inc.
Publishers Weekly reported that sales of "Fifty Shades of Grey" jumped 40 percent in the week before Mother's Day, as compared to the previous week, selling almost 443,000 copies.
The "Fifty Shades" books began as fan fiction, inspired by the "Twilight" series, and were a word-of-mouth hit after first being distributed in 2011 by the Australia-based Writer's Coffee Shop Publishing House.
Film rights were acquired by Universal Pictures and Focus Features in March.
Last Venus transit for this century
Venus will cross the sun’s face as seen from Earth for the last time in this century on June 5-6, 2012. This transit of Venus will be the last of our lifetimes.
Here’s something fun to think about as you gaze at Venus. By June 2012, as Venus leaves the evening sky to enter the morning sky, this brightest of planets will pass right in front of the sun, to stage one of the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena: a transit of Venus across the sun’s face. This upcoming transit of Venus will be the last one for the 21st century. It will take place across a period of nearly 7 hours on June 5-6, 2012. During the transit, Venus will appear in silhouette as a small, dark dot moving in front of the solar disk. This exceedingly rare astronomical event – a transit of Venus – won’t happen again until December 11, 2117.

Roma Gypsies
After WW1, when parts of Hungary folded into the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bartok’s access to his ‘inspiration’, theGypsies (and their music) was also cut off, his music compositions also declined. In the true ‘cultural dacoity’ mode, Bartok (after emigrating to USA), covered his tracks and found ingenious ways to deny the Roma-Gypsy influence. Between Bela Bartok, Zoltan Kodaly and Leos Janacek, they recorded 6000 Roma-Gypsy tunes on wax cylinders. The wax cylinders on which Bartok, Zoltan Kodaly and Leos Janacek copied Roma-Gypsy music are now sought after items.
It is the dances of the Roma Gypsies behind the European cultural icon – the Flamenco! The rumba and the tango. It is the Gypsies (along with the Arabs) who brought Indian musicsystems to Europe – based on which the Western music system developed over the last 300-400 years. The iconic guitar is a modified Indian musical instrument – brought to Europe by the Gypsies, which the West tries ‘passing off’ as their own. Hittites, the Indo Aryans of the Middle East, before the Gypsies had an instrument similar to the guitar. Why am I not surprised when flamenco style, Roma-Gypsy music group, Los Del Rio’s Macarena became a big hit in India. This contribution to modern and classical Western music by the Roma-Gypsy remains unacknowledged – and the Western arrogation continues unmitigated.
The Gypsies In Provence
Modern day Roma Gypsies made their first mark in Europe in Provence. The richness of the Roma-Gypsy music (of India) overwhelmed the people of Southern France. They whole heartedly, assimilated the Gypsies (then known as troubadours) and their culture – warmly. 500 years later, across a bleak Europe, the French poet Voltaire, the English WB Yeats, lamented and longed for Provence and the richness of the Provencal culture. Modern French cuisine, wine culture and tradition took root in this very area – and survived in spite of the best attempts by the Church to exterminate it in the Albigensian Crusade .https://2ndlook.wordpress.com/tag/rome/

Lisa Marie Rice

I am so lucky to be Lisa Marie Rice! There is no literary genre anywhere remotely as exciting and thrilling as erotic romantic suspense.
It has absolutely everything: red-hot passion, danger, adventure, heart-stopping love.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy sitting down to the keyboard and bleeding…er, writing my heart out, falling in love with my men over and over and over again. Well, why not? My men are brave and smart and built. And boy do they love their women!
Their women are much more interesting than new weaponry, sports cars, and even plasma TVs in their eyes,
and the fascination will last their entire lifetimes, I promise. It’s sex, of course, but also a whole lot more. My heroes genuinely like and admire their women, though in the beginning this is sometimes obscured by blinding lust.
Once that first sharp edge of desire is over and they settle down a little—and that will take several years and a kid or two—they’re so bonded with their women that they couldn’t live without them. And it is so much fun "being" my heroines while writing about them.
You may have noticed that most, if not all, of my heroines are artsy in some way, just like me. It just sort of comes out that way.
There’s not much calculation when creating my characters: They literally become alive for me and when my character says—I’m a singer or a designer or I love books—well, that’s that.
It’s fabulous sitting here in my not-perfect body and becoming the beautiful young woman that that ornery alpha male is glomming on to. Of course, my heroines are also in dire peril, which is not so much fun.
And which is why I’m the writer and not the heroine (give or take a few years and a few pounds).
One true fact: Looking out of my study across my wonderful terrace I see a bright blue line which is the Ionian Sea. And if I had a powerful enough telescope I could see the Greek temple where Pythagoras taught.

To Live Love is to Be Love
To be One with Great Spirit is to be equal with Great Spirit,
and as the understanding of the entity is gained,
in the application of truths gained ~~~ the consciousness of truth is apparent
~~ for, as has been given, to Love is to Live Love ~~
not the answer of desire or of amorous affection,
but is All in One ~~ for Love is Law, Law is Love!

Athanasia
A compelling personal epic that trips across the globe embracing the worldwide Greek diaspora, Well Kept Secrets, Athanasia was the winner of the critics’ FIPRESCI Prize at last year’s Thessaloniki Film Festival. A young American woman, Angela, returns to her Greek roots in an effort to uncover the identity of her real father. In the process, she shatters the very myths constructed to protect her, exposing an unlikely relationship between a nomadic photojournalist captivated by a Greek island girl who was exiled by her community. When Angela eventually meets her father, his stories paint a vivid picture of her mother, Athanassia, and the strange paths of love she walked. Well-Kept Secrets, Athanasia is a woman’s legacy and a telling reminder of the many hidden layers of those closest to us.

South Node and North Node
The frenetic, constant communication, sound-bite versions of Gemini have been tamed to a certain extent by the North Node in Sagittarius/South Node in Gemini (March 3, 2011 - August 29, 2012). The huge glut of constantly updating information has been stemmed somewhat - or people have at least taken their leave of a lot of it. But there are still plenty of hot spot South Node draws in this arena. There are many places on the worldwide web we should just stay away from, many sources of information, entertainment, and perspective that are not good for us to be around - and for some, this blog may be one of them! But the South Node is like moth to flame, and it will be difficult to refuse old draws, old connections, old gossip, old society, old mental pathways.
A lot of the information out there is the equivalent of mental or verbal junk food, and with all the mental stress going on, we'll be tempted to gorge ourselves. There's nothing wrong with eating a bag of kettle chips once in a while - but this South Node is going to be tempting us to do it daily, and then add a Big Mac, fries, and milkshake to it.
This is the differentiation between information that nourishes and satisfies and the kind that leaves us empty, craving, looking for repeated fixes.
Being aware of mental addictions and information habits and managing them wisely keeps the balance with this nodal axis. Avoid conversations that go nowhere, and avoid the types of charged connections that lead to the magnetic quagmire zone.
