BLUE MOON AND OTHER BLUES

On August 27, 2008 the planet Mars will appear to the naked eye to be as large as the moon and therefore it will look as if there are two moons during August. Mars will be 34.65 million miles from Earth. Synchronicity of this is that I had been researching about blue moons! Here is my research and this Mars event is once in a blue moon.

Have you ever wondered what the phrase means, once in a blue moon? In my research, I learned that it means an irregular timed full moon that occurs every two to three years. A full moon is usually a 30-day cycle with about 11 days left over. It is said that these days carry over and there occurs two full moons in one month. Thus came the saying, once in a blue moon. Apparently there is a blue colored moon and it is a rare event when it literally becomes visible. The first photo on the right is a NASA photo.

No, the photo shown on the left is not a blue moon. It is a photo of the Earth taken by a satellite and it is titled the Blue Marble. In 1933, Bing Crosby made the song Where the Blue of the Night popular and the lyrics go on to say Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day. I take it to mean it is the brief moments just before the sun goes down beyond the horizon and the descent into night.

The second NASA photo on the right is of a blue sun. The photo was taken when the sun was emitting extreme ultraviolet rays. These colors for both the sun and moon happen when they are going through phases of the Visible Light spectrum and do not often occur.

With the blue moon metaphorically described as a rare event, there is also the apt description of a blue rose. A true blue rose is rare and its meanings are mystery, impossible and enchantment.

In researching the various meanings of terms we use, I wondered where the term Blue Monday came from and apparently Monday is considered to be a sad day because people have to return to work after a week-end. This led me to the term I feel blue. The original meaning came into being from rains and thunder storms. It is the hue of that portion of the visible spectrum lying between green and indigo. Therefore people began thinking of it as dark and dreary. Feeling Blue is also associated with a custom among old deep water sailing ships. When a ship lost the captain or any of its officers during a voyage, the ship would fly blue flags to and also have a band of blue painted along the ships hull when it returned to its home port.

In Greek mythology, it is said the god Zeus would make rain when he was sad and a storm when he was angry. old deep water sailing ships. Therefore, the feeling said and using the word blue goes back to ancient times.

This leads into singing the blues. The genre of Blues is attributed to African-American music, which came into popularity as far back as 1912. It originated during the times of slavey when the slaves sang work songs, spirituals, field hollers and shouts and chants. It has within it a blue note that is sung or played at a slightly lower pitch than that of the major musical scale. The Blues has become the roots of jazz, rythm and blues and bluegrass to name a few.

Blues may be associated with sadness, depression and loss, however from this terminology I can see a depth of beauty that is unsurpassed. It is all an interpretation.

GIVING YOUR POWER AWAY

As I peruse Internet and blogs, I am noting that many people give their power away to something outside of them. During the early days of my awakening, I investigated many avenues and realized that they were things and people outside of myself. There are a number of beliefs that by chanting a mantra, using crystals, using crosses, bibles, fortune tellers, tarot cards, horoscopes and other modalities that one's life will change for the better. Perhaps it will--for awhile. It was as though someone or something outside of me would do the changing for me. At first I thought there was something wrong with me until I realized that there is something right about me. I was awakening into my power.

We also give our power away to the medical profession, i.e. physicians and medications. As I peruse these blogs and articles, I sigh and wonder when will people become aware that the power is really within them. However, as the supposedly "good book" states, It is done unto you as you believe. This is a truth. If one accepts, which means believes a death sentence given by a physician, then the person will die. I know, because my deceased sister accepted this sentence and refused to accept prayers from various religious denominations or even attempted to use another modality of healing.

This goes also for diets and dieting. I know that diets are never lasting unless the root cause is realized and dealt with. We think we are overweight, but according to whose standards? When we accept someone's reality that an ideal weight is such and such, then we have given our power away. If we think we are not pretty or handsome, and we fall into the trap of using the right code of dress, hair style, etc, we are giving our power away.

The power within us is powerful and just waiting to be acknowledge. It is time for us to think for ourselves and not let special interests or people dictate to us how to think, act or dress. There is a genie lurking inside of us just waiting to be activated. We never have to be abused and we never have to be 'put down.' It really comes down to beliefs and attitudes and these we can change. What is it that we accept? What is it we want to change? How to we regain our power?

I share my journey into awakening in my book Awakening the Genie Within. I share tools that I used to help me. Change is an inside job and by changing our beliefs, we empower our self.

Extraterrestrials - Friends or Enslavers

To the left is NASA's photo of the Earth - labeled The Blue Marble. It is gorgeous. Have you ever wondered why there is such a proliferation of extraterrestrial visitations and interest? Their visitations are recorded back into ancient history. Earthlings were primitive beings 450,000 years ago when the Annunaki from the planet Nibiru discovered the Earth while seeking gold to seed the atmosphere of their planet whose elongated orbit needed it to bring light when the planet was its furthest from the sun. I won't go into the history of the Annunaki because Zechariah Sitchen's books give excellent information about the settlements and also how the eartling inhabitants were genetically engineered with the Annunaki to bring forth the human form as we know today.

The chief scientist was a woman named Ninhursag or Mammy. She, together with her half-brother Enki created a worker being for the gold mines and we evolved. They did not create the intelligence that inhabits the body. No, we are inhabited by our individual connection to the Great Creator that some call God. Therefore, we are gods operating a human body through our brain. I have heard Ramtha say that the human brain is the greatest computer ever created. In fact, the human brain has unlimited possibilities.

What does this have to do with extraterrestrials, or ET's? For one thing, there have been visitations for eons. There has been numerous books written about them, in addition to movies such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind-1977 by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg went on to make E.T. and the Star Wars movies. In addition we have Gene Roddenberry's great television series Star Trek. The movies and the television series sparked an interest in the minds of the American public. Are these movies only entertainment, or are they giving us a message?

We also have many reports of alien abductions, cattle mutilations and the suppression by our government re UFOs and Area 51. I have read countless articles and books. I have watched videos and I did this as an observer, because I wasn't too sure who were the good aliens and who were the bad ones. Recently a friend loaned me a book and this book sparked an interest in me. I felt like that at last, I had an answer to many of my questions.

Actually there are two books by Marshall Vian Summers titled The Allies of Humanity - Book 1 and the same title - Book 2, which have given me a different perspective than most books and reports. There are numerous civilizations living in this quadrant of the Milky Way. Why would we need to contact them with radio when they can read our minds? I now understand that Star Trek and Star Wars do have some merit, because these civilizations of entities do travel around the galaxy on trade routes and conducting commerce. What is their commerce? Technology, resources and biological resources.

Yes, they have given governments of the planet technology with Hitler being one. No wonder our government doesn't want to admit that they are here, because we are getting technology from them all the time. This planet is a jewel and the earth resources are tremendously prized. The biological resources of this planet are prized too--especially the humans.

I contemplated what I read and I realize that we humans have a superior brain that can access anything and anywhere. Why is it limited? We have been kept dumbed down and therefore we are an enslaved species. For the most part, we humans have been kept in the syndrome of good and bad. There have been wars for eons. Our focus has not been on developing our minds, which is done by using our brains. Our brains have endless neuron networks. In my father's house are many mansions, and these mansions are visited when we change our attitudes, our beliefs and become open-minded to new ideas and new concepts.

Summers who writes for the Allies wrote: "Knowledge is the only part of you that cannot be manipulated or influenced. It is the source of all wise understanding and actions." Knowledge in this context refers to spiritual Knowledge--not religion. There is a vast difference. Spiritual Knowledge is to realize that the Creator or God resides within each individual and can be accessed at any moment. We do not need a religion to interpret for us. The Allies gave three principles to develop within each of us individually and those are Knowledge, freedom and strength.

Strength can imply different meanings. For me, I interpret this to mean developing the power of my mind and I know I won't do this if I hold on to the past, fear, anger, resentments, being a victim to whatever we think prevents us from living a life of joy and abundance. There is no savior outside of our self. We have to be our own saviors. If we do not develop this aspect of our self, then we become enslaved to the whims and ideals of others and this includes those who do not live on this planet. It is something to think about.
