Stars, Planets, and Star Visitors (Deutsch)
By Julia Griffin
I promised to share information about star visitors this month, and the information lies in latter part of the article. For the moment, I want to discuss stars and planets.
Last weekend, I went to Asheville, NC, where OM symbols hang on the door of almost every business, and waiters and waitresses wear t-shirts that say, "Namaste, Y'all." The weather was gorgeous, and flowers bloomed abundantly in planters on the outside of the wide sidewalks. The Smokey Mountains frame the city-they are visible above the many, graceful buildings. It is an artistic, spiritual city, and strangers speak and smile when they see or feel an open heart chakra. No one speaks about their spirituality-it's that kind of a cool town.
While having lunch (organic, of course), I thought about the two upcoming partial planetary alignments in August and the orbit of the comet Elinin. I've learned emotion and thought intensify during these times, and challenges appear as reflection of the inner self. I see them as unresolved conflict, taking immediate form in physicality. The opportunity lies in balancing the equation of the shadow and light within the inner self.
Alchemy calls this the marriage of opposites, the alignment of the spheres of energy, residing within an individual. When life intensifies with repetitive circumstances, the seeker is usually forced to seek the comfort of the heart for safety from the storm.
So these thoughts traveled through my mind, while watching a huge storm bend umbrellas and throw chairs along the street. The sky blackened, and I focused on my breathing-these storms come with regularity now, but they do bring rain. Tornadoes and hail often accompany the tremendous storms, and I simply stay in my heart during the onslaught.
After a while, we tired of the storm and started to travel from one shop to another, though thunder and lightning raged outdoors. I noticed I felt quite different in Asheville, than at home when it stormed. Then, I realized the "light" was bright here. No one felt fear-there were so many people anchored in their heart chakra. Then, the storm became a lovely spectacle to me, a song of the sky.
Soon enough, the raging storm concluded. The hot sun seared through the dark clouds. People straightened the chairs and tables, and life took the form of its usual flow. I thought about the experience later and realized the lesson-when there is no fear, the circumstances change quickly and positively. And the lesson or challenge of the alignments teaches release of the four apocalyptic horsemen: fear, anger, resentment and sadness. All negativity dances around these emotions, feelings, and thoughts.
Afterwards, I wondered if I could "dream up" a wonderful view of the world. Why does our country have to fall apart? Why is there a lack of money or health or balance in nature? Personally, I believe the collective "dreams it" up by venting and sending hate and anger toward objects and people, rather than looking within. In my dream world, the collective has mastered love and realized this simple truth.
Metaphysics teaches there is no problem in the outer world that is not an inner reflection of self. What might happen if we sent light and love to problems in the world, instead of choosing groups of people as right or wrong? Or simply deciding the right answers will be found and applied in the world? In the past, the old rules dictated ease in developing a following around negativity-it's so easy to motivate others through negative emotion and fear (think media, television.) Perhaps, in the future, groups of people will join together and create happy realities from their hearts. Any good "thing" is possible when light is gathered and garnished from the heart.
In the meanwhile, I turn my heart and soul toward the butterfly effect-the theory states one happy thought, gesture, or expression of gratitude can turn the tide, like the touch of a butterfly's wing. We're all together in "The Field" and influenced by one another. Our thoughts and feelings impact the collective and one another. So, I keep saying to myself, "Stay positive. Maybe this is the thought or action that turns the weight of the scale."
The comet Elinin comes close toward the earth's field during August, September and October. A few important dates (in my mind) are August 11, August 13 (full moon) and August 21. Mercury runs retrograde through most of the month, giving time for inner reflection and profound thought. For those interested in astrology, I'm briefly listing the planets around the full moon, as well as brief notes on planetary influence.
On August 11, the Sun, Mercury and Venus are placed in Leo (think solar, male energies, heat, love and adventure.) Mars is in Gemini, and Jupiter in Taurus. Uranus is in Aries; Saturn is in Libra, still at odds with the sign of Aries and Uranus. The Moon and Pluto fall in Capricorn. Neptune stays in Pisces. . So, five planets align within 90 degrees, and, if we add Uranus, then six planets fall in a 120 degree range. The comet will likely accelerate the influences.
We feel the planets more when they are tightly aligned, like a rubber band around a finger or toe. The band doesn't exert much pressure, unless it's wrapped tightly. When the planets are closely aligned, the band is wrapped tightly. Pressure, like the transformation of carbon into a diamond, creates opportunities for transformation.
The full moon on the 13th is in Aquarius-loosely opposition Venus and in the opposite sign of the Sun and Mercury. Opposing signs "bring up" energetic patterns, and so think of the Rolling Stones as the Leo Era (free sex, "love" era) contrasted with this generation's desire for a connection between new science and spirituality (many feel promiscuity is stupid.) What is your personal imbalance? Notice and make a real effort for healing during this time.
While the energies are intense, beneficial trines fall between the Sun, Venus, and Mercury and the North Node in Sagittarius. Jupiter and Pluto form a beautiful trine — possibly offering renewed hope to clear past doubts, fears and disappointments. The alignment is always an opportunity to push through karma and create anew.
Many astrologers and soothsayers predict volcano and earthquake activity for August. It might be helpful to send light ahead to the whole month of August, while creating a visual of one's self smiling after the event because nothing but good came of it. Remember, the earth reflects our inner feelings. If we balance our own polarity, the earth stays stable.
Absolutely — the possibility exists-we can remain stable while seeking light and moving to a higher level. This is the true opportunity when clearing karma in the movement toward the ascension of self. The old format of co-creation implied the experience of great darkness before light. The importance of alignment is discovering the parts of self, which are out of balance-and then using meditation, light work and visualization for travel into higher consciousness. Why not change the paradigm and make the best of the whole situation?
All children delight in change, but adults identify metamorphosis as painful. When did we make altering our lives such a burden? Why can't we enjoy it? After all, isn't that why we came here? Perhaps, we can "use" these times to cast off lifetimes of old karma and beliefs, to truly glory in the light.
Change comes to our new world — new pyramids, cities lost under seas, scientific discoveries and miracles are almost commonplace. The timeline for the world changes too, as we surrender our hold on reality, as an unchanging, solid apparition. Star visitors compose part of the change. In this addendum to the article, I write about my experiences simply as yet another expansion of consciousness. I believe many more fascinating facets of the world are hidden by our limited vision.
I've interacted with star visitors for much of my life. Star visitor is the word that indigenous people use for extra-terrestrials. Many tribal leaders say their teachings, including codes, originated with star visitors. I've been graced by the presence of the more highly evolved star visitors, and I believe their appearance and program involves enlightenment and higher consciousness. This is the topic of discussion — although, my experiences have varied with my own light level, and I've seen the darker beings when my energy level was low. I've seen plainly the more reptilian extra-terrestrials at Race Track stations, the shady side of towns, and also as scientists testing water in many remote wooded locations. They see me; I see them — nothing else happens. That's it.
Star visitors have mainly appeared to me with an angelic countenance, and, then marvelously changed my life. There are also very highly evolved visitors who are beautiful with sweet countenances. Psychically, their bodies appear to be composed of very dense light. The human system of chakras and meridians is not visible to my inner vision. Their auras radiate very bright light.
I've wondered for a long time about all of the discussion about something so obvious to me and others -the star visitors have been here for a long time. If more people used their inner vision, perhaps the uproar would cease. People would see the truth. But that's not point — so let me continue.
When I was eight years old, my life was a nightmare. My brother, who was four years old, was intensely ill with a hereditary disease, which would eventually take his life. My mother stayed up with him all night and wept-I could feel her fading away, dying in her sorrow. My father, who had always been very successful, was overwhelmed by the illness of my brother and the emotional distress of my mother. He wrecked two new trucks in two days and had difficulty functioning in his job as a farmer.
We had three large farms, and he cultivated all of them. The work on a farm is seasonal and runs from first light to darkness in the spring. It was early spring, and my father couldn't remember details -I remember that he confessed this as he drove me to school early one morning -he wasn't sure what to do with all of the bills or the work. We lived in a small brick house that was crowded with three children. It was stuffy in the winter and incredibly hot in the summer.
I didn't know what to do either. I prayed a lot, tried to do well in school and to help my parents as much as I could. But truthfully, I didn't see much reason for continuing to live. My life was miserable-my parents and my sister were equally unhappy.
One day I visited my friend Lillian, who lived in town. It was early spring — the weather was cool-and Lillian asked if I wanted to play in the woods near her house. I remember thinking that it was too cold, but I agreed. We walked very far into the woods and found a white twisting path that we had never seen before.
The woods grew deeper and darker as we walked. Finally, we saw a clearing ahead of us. A corral, made of logs, housed a pinto pony — his coat was white and brown. The large pony had a long white mane and tail; he was handsome. Lillian and I had "horse fever." We found horses and ponies irresistible, so we ran to the corral to meet the magnificent pony.
Behind the corral lay a small cabin, two elderly people, with the look of grandparents, emerged when we leaned on the fence. Lillian became terrified and ran away, leaving me with the old people. But I was too intrigued to run away. I don't remember that they spoke — but I was drawn toward them.
I went into the cabin with them and sat a long wooden table that faced a window. I knew these people had been waiting for me. The woman offered me a plate of chocolate chip cookies. The first bite of the cookie was amazing-it was crisp on the outside and soft in the center. The chocolate chips were deliciously melted, and cookie was perfect. It was exactly as I liked it.
I remember a large jig-saw puzzle on the table. Now, I realize it was a map of galaxies. The man talked to me about the puzzle for a long time. I remember something in my mind changed or cleared -it altered-as I looked at the puzzle. I remember the warmth of the woman's hands on my shoulders, and I recall a feeling of great love.
Then, there is a blank in my memory. All I remember is running through the woods toward Lillian's house. It was afternoon, but when I ran through the woods into her yard--it was almost dark. My parents were there, and they were crying because Lillian returned two hours ago without me-and no one could find me. They had looked through the woods, and there was no corral or cabin. My parents begged me to tell the truth, and then stopped-they were happy to have me back--it didn't matter.
My life changed completely in the six months that followed. School became remarkably easy. I barely had to listen to know the answers to questions in school. My father made a fortune on his spring crop, then again on the summer crop that followed. A very expensive home opened their doors for my brother and asked only for an annual donation. He had twenty-four hour care, and we could visit him easily.
During the summer, my father renovated his grandparents' home. The land lay eight miles out of town in a beautiful orchard. The house was large and lovely and spacious, and my sister and I were so happy in our new home. My mother never completely recovered, but she was better. Life became easier and flowed in a pleasant direction.
As an adult, I've driven by Lillian's house many times. There are no woods, only a thin stand of ten or twenty trees to the left of the house. Now I know that the elderly people were star visitors, and they came from galaxies away to help me. I know that they looked into my mind, and, somehow, those people brought about those changes. I also believe they awakened many of my intuitive abilities.
The lovely woman, with light blond hair and blue eyes, has appeared intermittently throughout my life. She always leaves gifts -beautiful, esoteric books, jewelry and other small presents. Oddly, I've never seen her, but the lovely woman left messages and gifts with friends and co-workers.
When I worked in the art world, the docents described her as a very tall, lovely woman, who was not thin, but curvy — not overweight at all. When I asked for her name, my friends said they couldn't remember, although they meant to write her name down on a pad for me. But I knew her so well — she was a friend of mine. Of course, I knew who she was from their description.
While I didn't know her name, I did feel her presence-all sweetness, calm and a presence of light---and I was familiar with her description, having heard this many times in my life. On this visit, she left a large stack of books about esoteric astrology, and I read all of the books many times. The woman always appeared at pivotal times in my life, often leaving subject matter for my studies. In the past few years, she has appeared to a few of my students and friends, who were knowledgeable enough to describe her as otherworldly. The first time I heard the word "otherworldly", I realized they were right. She must be from another world. Otherwise, how could she stay exactly the same over a period of many years?
Why did the star visitors come to me, why did they care? I still don't know. But the star visitors in the "forest" must have loved me very much to make such a long journey. And they knew me well -after all, they had the perfect pony and chocolate chip cookie waiting for me. The lovely lady continues to "gift me" throughout my life, whenever I need support or encouragement.
Somehow, someway, they must have heard my heart and responded. Always, the visitors brought me back toward love. Love is the universal language. It is heard from universes away. The world is so much larger and richer than we know.
