The Astrological Rulership of Music Notes

by Robert Wilkinson

Over the years, many people have expressed an interest in how the signs relate to musical notes. Every sequence of musical notes is a thought-form in itself, and music, like words, feelings, and thoughts, move various centers of consciousness in people, for good or ill, depending on how the notes, words, feelings, and ideas affect the individual chart.

Capricorn - Pragmatic Earth Spirits

by Robert Wilkinson

January is the time of the Sun in Capricorn, and during January 2006 we also have Mercury and Venus in that Cardinal Earth sign. Capricorn puts the focus on our claim to power in the public realm and our ability to assert our personal authority within a social structure. This self-starting practical sign represents the power of organizing energies into forms of personal fulfillment, and the ability to use time productively to achieve our intention. Capricorn is the ultimate plodder, patiently persevering with an eye to the long-term payoff. Wherever it falls in a chart is where you may find and claim your power, authorship, mature experience and responsibility.

Love, Dad - Bereavement, Grief, and Healing After A Significant Death

by Robert Wilkinson

After long reflection and meditation, I decided it was time to write something on grief and bereavement, since events that throw us into deep grief can safely be called an "intersection of fate and free will." Losing a loved one is one of the hardest, and occasionally THE hardest, thing that happens to us humans. The price of love is grief, since if we choose to love another in this impermanent world, one of us must go first, and the other is left to grieve.

There Are Many Roads To Truth

by Robert Wilkinson

I posted this piece last year on this day, which my friends know is a profoundly sacred time for me. Though every day is a good day to find truth, higher awareness, or God, January 9, 1988 changed me forever. If you read my book, "Love Dad," you'll understand why. It may offer you some comfort, help you to help another, or perhaps become stronger in your expressions of compassion and understanding. On this day I read from a variety of spiritual works to remember what is truly important. I may post something else later, depending on how my meditations go. For now, though, I'll offer you this little gem from "Agni Yoga," an amazing work written almost 80 years ago by Helena Roerich, wife of the legendary Nicholas Roerich who was the first artist ever nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, among other notable achievements. In our transitional era, it offers hope for the future, and clues to the eternal.

Happy Birthday Elvis

Better late than never. Here's a big Happy 71st Birthday to the King, Elvis Presley. You blew the doors open for a whole new way of heart to express itself. To quote John Lennon, "Before Elvis, there was nothing." I was 5 when you hit big and I heard you on a transistor radio. Wow. You were electric. And a huge stellium in Leo didn't hurt things neither, as we used to say. Again, thanks for showing up.

How the Divine Law Manifests – Perception, Memory, and Reincarnation

by Robert Wilkinson

For your consideration, from The Magic of Space, Chapter Two, “Phenomena of Space,” a comment on how energy continually re-embodies itself in different forms across space and time, and why we usually don’t remember our past lives.

Re-embodiment is a fact in nature, with the indestructibility of matter and force re-embodying themselves for the purpose of evolution. The law of re-embodiment manifests on all planes, and upon all worlds or planets. The fact that we do not see the operation of a law is no proof that the law has ceased to act.
