The planets move through the constellations (signs) at various rates. Moon goes through all twelve signs (constellations) every month. In other words, it goes all the way around, returning to its starting point every month. Saturn spends about 2 1/2 years in each sign. Jupiter… about six months per sign. All the other planets about one month per sign.
About a month ago, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and the Moon were all close together visible in the early eastern morning sky. Venus was above Jupiter, Moon, and Mars. Over the past month, Venus and Mars (because they move through the signs faster than Jupiter) caught up and passed Jupiter. Moon has gone all the way around through all constellations and has now caught back up with, and passed, Jupiter and is close to Mars and Venus.
So now, in the early morning eastern sky, you can see all four planets close together but with Jupiter above Venus, Mars, and the Moon. Because Moon moves so quickly, in several days it will have gone way past the other three planets so if you want to see all four together, you need to do so in the next day or so.

On the news this morning, they did a little piece about Billy Graham. He is from the Asheville area and so his influence here is seen around town. It’s really fascinating to see excerpts of his sermons. He talks about God and heaven, being forgiven of your sins, being saved, and all those sorts of things. It’s all beautifully heartfelt and touching. He was obviously coming from a very deep place inside his soul. I’m sure that everybody senses that same place within themselves. Yet different people relate to it differently, to the point where everybody has their own unique relationship with it.
With the knowledge that I’ve given to people reading these blogs, I think it is easy to see what Billy Graham was getting at, what he was trying to say. I think it’s also easy to see how having an understanding of the nature and structure of existence from a rather scientific or rational perspective provides a deeper insight into what that is really all about. It also provides insight into how, without that scientific or rational understanding, the Knowledge easily becomes obscured.
Spiritual growth is about clarification, not just intellectually, not just emotionally, but also viscerally, physiologically, and directly experientially. Every religion has its foundation, that deep sense within all beings. It is often referred to as one’s sense of divinity within.
It is my purpose to provide people, regardless of their religion, with ever increasing levels of clarity in their understanding of this very nature of life and existence.

Someone sent the following rather cynical quote to me:
“Five percent of the people think; ten percent of the people think they think; and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”
I do not know how accurate those percentages are. However, I do believe that of the people that actually do think, only one in a thousand actually discern. Combine that with the fact that Adi Shankara said that the spiritual path is the path of discernment and the state of humanity becomes clear.
Discernment is not only the path, but also the goal… integration of all levels and aspects of your being… integration of thoughts and emotions with what lies deeper.
