The ancient wisdom had much to offer\u00a0as to why these types of events were not to be feared\u00a0but rather to be respected for what they truly were. \u00a0The wise men of old were\u00a0gifted with an intuitive knowledge of the heavens and the hidden knowledge they conveyed. \u00a0Theirs was much more art than science, and sprang from the heart not from the mind. \u00a0Similarly, many souls have now awakened to their own heart-mind intuitions about the upcoming total solar eclipse that will traverse America on Monday, August 21st. \u00a0This event, in fact, a HUGE\u00a0harbinger of things to come.\u00a0<\/em><\/em><br \/>\n______________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Although rarely understood in Western civilization, an eclipse of either of the two major luminaries (Sun and Moon) is considered an inauspicious event. Throughout the East it is generally recognized that a total lunar or solar eclipse is a particularly foreboding event. However, they also knew that these 5-day periods (which included 2 days before and after the day of\u00a0the eclipse) were uniquely charged in such a way that seekers could utilize them to greatly advance themselves on their spiritual paths.<\/p>\n<p>On the mundane level, however, there was always apprehension about the immediate future. \u00a0The ancient cultures of India and China were especially attentive to the causative effects that a total eclipse could have on the affairs of men; whereas the modern societies of the West have oriented themselves in quite the opposite ways. \u00a0Out of complete ignorance, many in America now revel at the sight of a major luminary whose light is being inauspiciously obscured.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is that?<\/strong> Why do Westerners gleefully stare at an eclipse, whereas informed Asians religiously avoid such a practice?<\/p>\n<p>First, because the East has a much greater appreciation for the science of astrology, they are deeply aware of the very subtle yet powerful energies associated with each planetary body and their moons, with each star and with each constellation. The establishment scientists of the West have always belittled the art of astrology simply because they do not understand it. Because they are unable to make direct correlations between the movements and transits of the various heavenly bodies and events that occur here on Earth, scientists prefer to dismiss the whole field as quackery.<\/p>\n<p>The key point is that the scientists, such as astronomers and astrophysicists, are incapable of perceiving the connections between an isolated celestial event and a geophysical occurrence here on Earth. Their inability to grasp these nuances of Heaven and Earth correspondences is due to a lack of refined perception. \u00a0They are so wrapped up in the hard science mentality that they cannot see what is right in front of them. \u00a0After all, these secrets of the universe require sincere humility, not hubris, if they are to be correctly apprehended.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of this predominant scientific headset, the whole society has been kept from a massive body of esoteric knowledge and ancient wisdom. \u00a0There is in fact a tremendous amount of prophetic predictive power associated with the planetary transits and stellar alignments discussed in all the various schools of astrology. \u00a0Which ancient civilizations did not have their court astrologers and oracles, prophets and seers? \u00a0These fundamental roles have all been banished from modern society. \u00a0This quite unfortunate development has occurred at the peril of whole nations.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Signs and Omens, Harbingers and Portents<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;As above, so below&#8221;<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s true that the microcosm perfectly reflects the macrocosm, and vice versa. \u00a0As a matter of scientific fact, a human being is exactly in the middle of the cosmos in terms of size. \u00a0Not only is the <em>Universe<\/em> itself a perfect reflection of the Supreme Being, the Creator has designed and entered His\/Her creation in the form of each and every human being. \u00a0As such, an average person fits right smack in the middle of the Cosmos in terms of size. \u00a0In other words the very smallest and largest entities in the <em>Universe<\/em> exist in the exact proportion in relation to a human being. \u00a0The largest is the same amount larger than a human being that the smallest is smaller. \u00a0Now that&#8217;s a precisely created Creation for you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Small \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Human \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Largest\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Particle \u00a0~ ~ ~\u00a0~\u00a0~ ~ ~ \u00a0Being ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Entity\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>In Creation \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When such an elegant and perfect order is inherent throughout the whole of Creation, why would the planets and major luminaries, stars and constellations not have a significant effect on the happenings which occur daily on Planet Earth? \u00a0In reality, the destiny of the current planetary civilization has been hardwired by nothing less than the movement of the heavens. \u00a0The legendary <em>Music of the Spheres<\/em> continually plays in such a manner so as to ensure that that destiny unfolds in the perfect way. \u00a0That would include the destiny and karma of individuals and families, nations and continents, as well as the planetary civilization.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that these ongoing celestial events have HUGE effects on everything that transpires on this plane of existence. \u00a0As a matter of astrological fact, it is the planetary and stellar movements, and especially their\u00a0interrelationships, which dictate the collective karma of the entire human civilization. \u00a0In Jyotish, also known as Vedic Astrology, each of the planets of our Solar System represents a different incarnation of the great Hindu deity, Lord Vishnu. \u00a0As follows:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Screen-Shot-2014-04-12-at-4.08.32-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6692\" src=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Screen-Shot-2014-04-12-at-4.08.32-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2014-04-12 at 4.08.32 PM\" width=\"557\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Screen-Shot-2014-04-12-at-4.08.32-PM.png 557w, https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Screen-Shot-2014-04-12-at-4.08.32-PM-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For those who understand the prominence of Lord Vishnu in the affairs of India, it&#8217;s quite easy to understand how His corresponding planetary embodiments will necessarily have enormous impacts on Earth and all of its inhabitants. \u00a0We are especially talking about massive Earth phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and tornadoes, tidal waves and tsunamis. \u00a0But this does not exclude even the growing of a single blade of grass or the work of an ant.<\/p>\n<p>The premise of this discussion is that every heavenly body represents a spiritual embodiment. \u00a0For example, the Sun is known as Sol in some places and Lord Surya in India. \u00a0The Moon is known as Chandra in the same country. \u00a0Both of their light rays, therefore, are considered sacred; and quite sacred they are for without them humanity could not survive long. \u00a0Hence, when either the light of the Sun or the Moon is blocked, it is not considered a favorable event for the life which depends on it.<\/p>\n<p>Going much deeper, both lunar and solar eclipses are a way for these luminary deities to convey crucial messages to mankind during critical moments of human evolution. \u00a0For the uninitiated, each and every eclipse is divinely scheduled and known with perfect precision well in advance of its occurrence. \u00a0Therefore, when they do occur, there is always a message from the heavens that is being delivered to those enlightened souls who act as society&#8217;s soothsayers. \u00a0<strong>Welcome to the Total Solar Eclipse\u00a0of Monday, August 21, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whenever a Supermoon <em>Blood Moon<\/em> occurs at the end of a tetrad of full lunar eclipses, surely there is a very purposeful message being delivered from on high. \u00a0Just what is that divine notice that is being issued to every resident on Planet Earth. \u00a0There are actually many messages; however, there is one in particular which reigns supreme above all the others. \u00a0As follows: \u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/?p=13\">HUGE Changes Coming To Planet Earth<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Back to the central purpose of this article. \u00a0Why have we \u2014 the human race \u2014 been admonished since time immemorial not to watch lunar and solar eclipses. \u00a0The following two articles clearly articulate the reasons for this time-honored admonishment. \u00a0After all, the ancients knew much more about the skies &#8212; both nighttime and daytime &#8212; than the skywatchers and stargazers of contemporary societies. Those gifted seers could see their skies much more clearly than we can, as they did not have to contend with chemtrails and chembombs, chemclouds and other products of chemical geoengineering. \u00a0Much more importantly, they could apprehend the hidden meaning behind the celestial movements as well as their profound significance for humanity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>KEY POINT:<\/strong>\u00a0The first total solar eclipse touching the continental United States since 1979 touches down on the Oregon coast between Lincoln City and Newport at 10:15 AM PDT. Before Oregon, the shadow of the Moon (umbra) does not touch any other landmass or island. \u00a0This total solar eclipse will leave the North American continent by exiting the landmass of South Carolina just north of Charleston at about 2:50 PM EDT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Required Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thehealthcoach1.com\/?p=2068\">Solar and Lunar Eclipses: Don\u2019t Watch Them!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thehealthcoach1.com\/?p=2283\">September Lunar Eclipse: Why To Avoid Looking At It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The two articles also provide excellent guidance on how to best orient oneself during each and every eclipse\u00a0in the future. \u00a0Both partial and full eclipses can be taken advantage of because of the special window of opportunity &#8212; quality spiritual time &#8212; \u00a0provided by the <em>Universe<\/em>. \u00a0In other words these are ideal times to go inward, not outward into worldly endeavors. \u00a0Both lunar and solar eclipses are particularly inopportune times to begin a new business venture, or long trip, or special project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What follows is a graphic depicting the full sweep of the August 21st blackout as it occurs across the USA. \u00a0Clearly, it is the U.S. mainland that will see the darkened sun at its fullest.

It also demands a commitment to seeing the truth of the matter in ways that are far outside of the box created by the reigning patriarchy. \u00a0Modern societies dominated by the left brain and linear thinking are usually resistant to this type of intuitive understanding. \u00a0As a result, countries like the USA as well as the European Union are now overwhelmed by economic, social and political problems.<\/p>\n<p>The point is that the modern man has regularly eschewed all sorts of ancient and necessary wisdom for the proper ordering of society. \u00a0Consequently, the future of the entire planetary civilization now hangs in the balance, as does the fate of the biosphere. When so many today seriously seriously about a World War III or collapse of the global economic and financial system, it&#8217;s clear that humankind not paid attention to many signs in the heavens.<\/p>\n<p>Originally published at: <a href=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/?p=21342\">https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/?p=21342<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":3,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21342\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
