Is the New Age Now or When Will It Happen?

by Robert Wilkinson

This is something I wrote as an intro to my ancient website back in the late 90s. I just ran across it in an obscure part of the web, and thought you might like to take a look at where my head was at, and amazingly, still is. I address some of our 21st Century issues and where we're at from a vaster perspective. Given the racheting up of the violence and polarization of the past decade, this modest piece seems precient. I've only edited it to remove references to the old site.

Why Is Self-Control of the Emotions A Good Thing?

by Robert Wilkinson

Well, the first thing that springs to mind is that it's never a good thing when something external to us causes us to lose our cool. If we get thrown off by internal stuff that takes us by surprise, it's one thing. But to allow any external thing or person to sap us of our power to choose the better rather than the worse, the good instead of the bad, the helpful rather than the unhelpful, is to abdicate our higher responsibility to live the life we choose, rather than allow anything else to run our karma into a ditch.

Are We In The Age of Aquarius?

by Robert Wilkinson

Today I'll offer you a new look at an article I did a while ago on the coming Age of Aquarius. We are currently at the cusp of the end of the Age of Pisces and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, though we still have a few decades to go before we'll see the new era solidly manifest. So for your consideration, here's my take on the coming Age, and some things to look for as we approach the threshold of this hopeful time.

Is Truth Always What It Seems To Be?

by Robert Wilkinson

Our reality can get pretty vague sometimes. Often it seems that what is true and what is false is really in the eye of the beholder. We humans have many moral dilemmas to sort through in the process of becoming our Higher Self. These intrude on our comfortable assumptions every so often, and force us to reconsider some things we've taken for granted up to that point in our experience.

Astrology and Destiny - The Intersection of Fate and Free Will

by Robert Wilkinson

Since this site is dedicated to exploring just how much control we have over our lives and destiny, I thought this article might provide food for thought. Many people get spooked by the influence of the outer invisible Triad of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in their lives, since they seem overwhelming in their influence to take things away whether we want them to or not.

Life After Death - What Awaits Us On The Other Side?

by Robert Wilkinson

I thought it was a great time to revisit a chain of articles concerning Universal Mind, Consciousness, and a host of other interesting subjects related to life and death, and what we will find after we die. If you've ever wondered if and how you'll recognize your loved ones, read on.

What Sign Rules Your State?

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we revisit an article outlining which signs rule which states. I've also included the Moon signs and the sign of the planet ruling each state's Sun since the dispositor of the Sun sign exerts a major influence in how that Sun is expressed. If you've wondered why certain states appeal to you or turn you off more than others, this may explain why. Obviously this article is geared to those living in the US, but every country, state, city and village in the world has its own astrological character, so no matter where we are, we can benefit by knowing the astrology of the place we're at.

Life Changes and Comments

Hi all - Just to let you know that due to overwhelming demands on my time as I begin to move my library and parts of my life across country, I cannot answer personal questions the next two weeks except sporadically. I appreciate everyone checking in, and by all means continue to comment, and I'll check in when I can. Many excellent articles are in queue to auto-post, and I'll attempt to write more timely pieces addressing what's happening as I can, but cannot do comments. Also, I may or may not be able to do the weekly forecasts for a couple of weeks as they require a lot of work and I can't see when I'll have time. Thanks, and enjoy the great articles I've already done that will post over the next two weeks! Namaskarams!!

Ancient Hymns for Peace - A Universal Song

by Robert Wilkinson

I ran across these surfing the web, and thought them so beautiful that I decided to post them. These are ancient hymns from the Vedas, the Holy Books of India whose origins are lost in the mists of time. One is "May all possess happiness. May all be healthy. May all see beauty. May there be good fortune and no misery anywhere. May there be peace everywhere." What's not to like? Try to sound out the syllables, and you may be pleasantly surprised at what you feel. Aum Shiva Shanti!
