Katerina Vrana: Greece has 'nothing left to give'

ZEIBEKIKO EVDOKIAS

I want to know the joy of how you whisper "more”

"I want to see you.

Know your voice.

Recognize you when you
first come 'round the corner.

Sense your scent when I come
into a room you've just left.

Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.

Become familiar with the way
you purse your lips
then let them part,
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.

I want to know the joy
of how you whisper
"more”
― Rumi

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

 An award should go to the United
Airlines gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while
making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably
deserved to fly as cargo.

A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled. A
single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.

Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."

The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try
to help you, but I've got to help these folks first; and then I'm
sure we'll be able to work something out."

The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that
the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her
public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically,
the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"

Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir,
you'll have to get in line for that, too."

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to
dance in the rain.

Solar Eclipse in Taurus May 9th 2013

Last month, we had a lovely full moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio. When we experience a Lunar Eclipse, it signals the closing or ending of something. Astronomically, the Moon is at its brightest; and symbolically (or astrologically speaking), the Moon is “illuminating” something for us. We stumble upon epiphanies and are forced to make changes in certain areas of our lives. This new moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus on Thursday May 9th, compels us to take action. Astronomically, the Moon is at its darkest during a new moon; and astrologically speaking, it’s a time to plant seeds that will grow into fruition by our Solar Eclipse in Scorpio later this year. The combination of the Taurus-Scorpio eclipses motion toward a deep transformation that needs to transpire. Astrologers associate Taurus with “refinement”, while Scorpio is associated closely with “elimination.” Four days before and after this eclipse, we will need to take the time to analyze which things in our lives require redefinition or elimination altogether. Steady Taurus creates a strong desire for stability and reliability. With four planets resting in the Earth sign [Sun/Mercury/Venus/Mars], there is a good chance that any opportunity to increase our income and cut down debt will be seized upon. All of the new goals established during this transit are connected to financial security and expansion. The balance to be struck between the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse (from April 25th) and the Taurus Solar Eclipse (May 9th) revolves around transforming mentalities, people, contracts, and other things no longer serving a purpose to us. Let’s take a step back and compare. On April 10th, we had a New Moon in Aries. During that transit, it was advised to create goals that showcased our leadership traits. Many of those new goals established centered on our personal needs —inspiring us to take initiative to get everything we want out of life. During our New Moon in Aries last month, a heavy emphasis was placed on self-promotion and generally looking out for “self” first. Our New Moon in Taurus this month, however, shifts away from “Self” and encourages us to pay more attention to our intimate relationships: figuring out ways to stabilize and expand them. The impatience of the New Moon in Aries has been washed over by the tenacity of Taurus. A New Moon in Aries describes all types of fresh and exciting “brain children” that we want to implement and explore—-sometimes not allocating enough resources to see them through. But this New Moon in Taurus emboldens us to look for tangible results and rewards in our personal/professional lives. We are bound to move away from abstract concepts and take concrete steps to make these dreams a reality. Our physical needs seem pressing while the Sun and Moon transit Taurus on the 9th. We truly connect with our five senses, indulging in: good music, good food, good wine, good sex and the purchase of materials goods that provide emotional satisfaction. Our desire for comfort includes spoiling ourselves and others. And lastly, we are inclined to reevaluate the values we’ve attached to possessions and what we feel they say about our self-worth.

Dr. Oz and his past life experience on Oprah

As part of his research for the show, Dr. Oz agreed to be past-life regressed. He admits the experience was intimidating for him. "I love when there's data. If there's information out there, I get my arms [around] it, and I'm really comfortable," he says. "When we go down this pike, I get really uncomfortable."

During his 60-minute session, Dr. Oz says he recalled a dream he had before he started kindergarten.

"In this dream, my father is taking me out by the hand to individual older men who are wearing these velvety gowns and they're wearing [fez hats]," he says. "They have these old parchments and scrolls and they're writing down things like my lessons, and he's taking me from place to place, and they're not joking around. They're very serious about what they're doing, and it just sort of seems to me that they're planning my life."

Dr. Oz says he then remembered starting school and being disappointed. "Then I ended up from there in this sort of ether. This space that many of my patients actually have described to me," he says. "I felt like there was a stream of people going past me, but they were energy. They didn't have faces. They were trying to teach me, but I wasn't ready to hear it yet."

Now that Dr. Oz has had a past-life regression experience, he understands there will be skeptics. "You know, Oprah, there will be a lot of folks who very understandably say these are the wishful desires of desperate people," he says. 

So does Dr. Oz believe in past-life regression? "I've got to say I don't know if it's past lives. We can get into a long debate whether these are spiritual beings touching us," he says. "A hundred years ago in this country, we were more comfortable with these discussions than we are today. I think part of that is we have gotten addicted to the same serum that I'm taking, which is the belief that the answers are always going to be there in front of us. And sometimes we've got to take that leap, just to believe to test it out. We don't have to advocate it, but we do have to evaluate it." 

Dr. Oz says he does feel like there is a collective unconsciousness out there. "I actually in my heart think that all of our minds are connected and all of these minds in history are then reflected, and we're feeding into this energy system that we can tap into. It's like karma. You can bounce into it. It bounces you back," he says. "So what I really think we want to do is challenge people to the belief and understanding that life is not as real as it seems. There's other stuff out there."

Hindi movie about past life regression with no subtitles unfortunately

The word "reincarnation" derives from Latin, literally meaning, "entering the flesh again". The Greek equivalent metempsychosis (μετεμψύχωσις) roughly corresponds to the common English phrase "transmigration of the soul" and also usually connotes reincarnation after death,^[7] as either human, animal, though emphasising the continuity of the soul, not the flesh. The term has been used by modern philosophers such as Kurt Gödel^[8] and has entered the English language. Another Greek term sometimes used synonymously is palingenesis, "being born again".^[9]

There is no word corresponding exactly to the English terms "rebirth", "metempsychosis", "transmigration" or "reincarnation" in the traditional languages of Pāli and Sanskrit. The entire universal process that gives rise to the cycle of death and rebirth, governed by karma, is referred to as Samsara^[10] while the state one is born into, the individual process of being born or coming into the world in any way, is referred to simply as "birth" (jāti). Devas (gods) may also die and live again.^[11] Here the term "reincarnation" is not strictly applicable, yet Hindu gods are said to have reincarnated (see Avatar): Lord Vishnu is known for his ten incarnations, the Dashavatars. Celtic religion seems to have had reincarnating gods also. Many Christians regard Jesus as a divine incarnation. Some Christians and Muslims believe he and some prophets may incarnate again. Most Christians, however, believe that Jesus will come again in the Second Coming at the end of the world, although this is not a reincarnation. Some ghulat Shi'a Muslim sects also regard their founders as in some special sense divine incarnations (hulul).

Philosophical and religious beliefs regarding the existence or non-existence of an unchanging "self" have a direct bearing on how reincarnation is viewed within a given tradition. The Buddha lived at a time of great philosophical creativity in India when many conceptions of the nature of life and death were proposed. Some were materialist, holding that there was no existence and that the self is annihilated upon death. Others believed in a form of cyclic existence, where a being is born, lives, dies and then is reborn, but in the context of a type of determinism or fatalism in which karma played no role. Others were "eternalists", postulating an eternally existent self or soul comparable to that in Judaic monotheism: the ātman survives death and reincarnates as another living being, based on its karmic inheritance. This is the idea that has become dominant (with certain modifications) in modernHinduism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation

Third encounter of the close kind on May 20th.

The Astrology of May features Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Plutoplus two eclipses. Mercury runs through Taurus during the first part of May, being conjunct to the May 9th Solar Eclipse taking place in the 20th degree of that sign, which also conjuncts the South Node of the Moon and makes a quintile aspect to idealistic Neptune. Mercury then enters Gemini, the sign of its rulership, on the 15th, just in time to host the Sun for the powerfulGemini-Sagittarius Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of May 24th, the third eclipse in just this one thirty-day period, encouraging us to think as well as feel our way through. Eclipses are more intense lunations — as recent headlines also indicate — making these transformative times that we are currently managing to live through even more poignant and accelerating the drum beat of change.

The big news this month is the converging of Uranus and Pluto for their third encounter of the close kind. This happens on May 20th. There were two previous exact hits last year of their revolutionary and pressure-packed square, out of a total of seven, with reverberations echoing down to the final years of these "Turbulent Teens." We are, all of us, caught up in the vice of change and we might as well acknowledge this simple and straightforward fact. No one will emerge in the same condition as they started. The culture itself will undergo massive and radical transformation before we are finished, or else we are finished in quite another sense of the word. We must hang together now in collective action that is both local and ultimately global, or we will dangle separately. 

Not only is Uranus in Aries amped up, bringing unique ideas and out-of-the-box strategies to bear, but alsoPluto is emphasized in Capricorn, representing societal structure, which indicates that the very bedrock of our individual as well as our collective lives must transform. What is dysfunctional and outmoded in our approach will have to be pruned away. This is also the sign of Saturn's rulership, and as this two-month period unfolds,Saturn in fading sextile to Pluto begins to make an increasingly close trine aspect to Neptune. We can dream big during this period, and we can also see our dreams come crashing down to a more practical level. When that happens the recommendation is that we do not despair. It is rather — having utmost faith in the universe, whether termed Spirit, or higher Self, or angel guidance — that we choose to rebuild as necessary.
