The querent get it  because because it answers their questions. Or helps them to reframe an issue .  

I don't think a name change will result in more comprehension.

A few Astrologers thought it was amazing but they still didn't understand it.

i can decide whether this presence that  clears the way for me is divine or extra-terrestrial.

If it is extra terrestrial and clearing the way then ipso facto it is divine.

Recently I've been having more chats with Astrologers. The last couple are big thinkers an have said some cutting edge stuff. One of them is having a hard time understanding that I create charts from words to either understand the word more fully, or I use them with clients to answer their concerns.

@Chevdove I have started reading this post. I had an idea that may be related to what you said about prophecy. If wisdom is hidden in poetry an open heart is more useful than a scientific mind. Which is why devotees seem to function on a different level.

I'll hire you to be my personal guru. 

I already am

I haven't look at 2023 although I am sure it would be more challenging than 2022, unless you adapt. Although I feel this will be a very good year for me. There are a few things percolating.  I have been going more deeply into my experiments with time. I also have a Saturn Return. Which happens every 30 years or so. I am doing some meditation and magical excercises.

I can't speak for everyone but for me I am certain time doesn't exist. What we call time is simply the movement of objects. Which we correlate with some counters, then we use other counters to check the accuracy of the counter. However the real arbiter of time is the Sun and by extension the seasons. In Australia the sesaon start at the beginning of the month not close to the 21st. Which is when the Sun enters the cardinal sign. Which are the following months Mar Jun Sep Dec. A day is from sunrise to sunset, which is the rotation of the earth. A week is one phase of the Moon The month is a day or two less than the revolution of the Moon. A Year is an orbit around the Sun.

So I say that time time doesn't exist, but the measurements of clocks are informative no matter the type, analog atomic or Astrological. I find only goes quickly if I am working on a project.

Why does time seem to have sped up?  I hear this from young people as well as old ones how,  lately, time really does seem to fly. (Except, of course, when you're waiting for a pot of water to boil.)

 

The answer, I suppose, has something to do with the duration of the events which determine the passage of time...  

 

With each passing day, I become more mystified by this thing called "life", mostly because it is beyond words. I am suspended in a vacuum of wonderment. 

Probably because we are trying to combat by boredom by filling all of our available time. When I take public transportation nearly everyone is on their phone. I have also seen a few people having conversation while texting. Or scrolling through tik tok clips and then texting. So while we are filling the time I don't get the sense that it is fulfilling. The availability of something doesn't make it feel more precious. So we are stimulated more but we may be reaching our saturation point.

We are living in the age of instant. So everything has to be done in minutes.  If our clip doesn't load instantly we are annoyed. So technology has acclimated us for instant or near instant gratification. Which also means we have to do everything quickly. A good example is binge watching. We can get to the end more quickly. However like sex it's the journey and and anticipation that is thrilling. The ending is literally anticlimactic.

You do, but that is what makes you so cool

And really hard to live with me.

In one of Minister Louis Farrakhan speeches about self sufficiency. He said Jeff a little if you have to.

So thanks @KENNETH

for your comment.

When you read an astrological chart, you're interpreting the symbolic expression of space and time. Which may imply that information is encoded within time. Although I am starting to feel that time is information.

your most formative years bruh.

My teachers I have said I walk to the beat of a different drummer.

  In all of my school years, I never had a Black male heterosexual teacher -- that includes 8 years of college!  I don't think this is a good thing, on a variety of levels.

With the exception of grades 2 through 7 I've had some non white teachers.

@Delano& @ProfD So you guys enjoy the ongoing fruitless quest for black unity

I was responding to the generality of your quote me

Why strive for something that nobody thinks has a chance of coming into fruition? That's a waste of time.

I have nothing to say about Black unity that makes any difference

Isn't that what visionaries do. I have wasted a lot of time on things most would say or pointless. Yet those things have shaped me: Night clubs; Astrology; Tarot and time markers. A friend once said', Time that you enjoy isn't wasted"

Well of course the women, but that is because men generally take the lead on hitting on women —especially men of my generation.

That depends on the man and the women.

There is no benefit to a wealthy woman establishing a relationship with a man of lower status. 

You've come full circle or is that an 180  degree change?

It changes after 40. Since there are less eligible men

There have been a few socialites who were involved with men from a lower socioeconomic level. While it is difficult to determine motivations. I would say it may be that their partner offered something that was missing from their circle.

Here's a brief biography of one such woman. 

https://www.npr.org/2007/07/21/12070489/nancy-cunard-rebellious-heiress-inspired-life

Doris Duke is another. Who married Porfirio Rubirosa who was charming and had certain talents. He dated  and wooed rich woman. Including Zsa Zsa Gabor 

There isn't enough political\social justice capital to make this happen. 

Astrologically the year begins when the Sun enter the Cardinal sign of Aries (Spring), and the winter solstice occurs in the Cardinal sign of Capricorn (Winter).

Although the two pronged approach of being accommodating versus revolutionary seems to have a history.

I don't know how I feel about herb being ubiquitous. Lotteries and smoke is what people have to look forward to in life.

Sounds a bit overly optimistic. Any perceived list of power is met by opposition. To the point where groups are organised against the dissolution of inequality.

Most country's wealth is due to exploitation, I don't see any paradigm shifts occuring soon.  

Perhaps it's more that screens have a bigger share of our time . So we are accustomed to passivity.

At NYU I think I challenged perceptions of being a Black Man. Quite a few whites never had a conversation or interaction with a person if color. Where there was parity.

I occasionally get a dialogue going if I pose a question. Or post a link. It seems if the post requires an additional step there tends to be more interaction
