Chimes Of Freedom

by Robert Wilkinson

This song seemed fitting to post right now, given how tense things are domestically and abroad. Authoritarians and the fascist forces for war are denigrating, mocking, shouting down, threatening, jailing, and beating down those who believe we could become a more peaceful, democratic world if we'd only give it an honest chance. Bruce Springsteen once said, "This is one of the greatest songs about human freedom ever written." If you haven't heard this song, or even if you have, it's time to take a moment to ponder a phrase or two, since the chimes of freedom are indeed tolling for all of us.

Evaluating Relationships and Marriages Using Astrology - Pt. 1

Social Astrology - Each Planet Represents Many People in Our Lives

by Robert Wilkinson

While “real world” factors always determine when we come or go in another’s life, that we attract people with similar traits is explained by the astrological concept known as “planets are people.”
