Those Little Gaps of Silence
Dear Friend and Reader:
Within the past year or two, I received a comment from a listener to Planet Waves FM, who complained that I pause too much when I’m speaking. He said that he would be running my program through a "truncate silence" filter, in order to condense my language. He wanted to speed up the pacing of my thought process. Apparently I think too slowly for him; if he only knew.
Telegraph operator works the closest thing to Twitter.
This is the perfect example of how electric media affects people: we come to expect being overwhelmed. By electric media, I mean the whole story arc of an electrically powered environment, from telegraph to electric light to digital. They all have one thing in common, which is electricity. (Technically, the word electronic refers to the presence of transistors, which are little electric switches.)
The telegraph made it possible for information to reach from the White House to Buckingham Palace at the speed of light (it used to take a month), or for people to play chess in real time, between New York and Baltimore. It was equally good for both purposes.
The electric light blended night and day, which in turn messes with our natural rhythms and our relationship to the natural world, and to the cosmos.
Radio, television and digital overwhelm us with information, opinions, options and images, to the point where it’s nearly impossible to breathe. They scramble sensory balance to the point where it’s difficult to perceive one’s relationship to one’s body.

If Your Birthday is June 16
(The Day of Capital Investment) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You have the ideas; indeed; you’re at a creative peak. Yet to convince anyone to follow your vision, you need a cohesive plan. Tangible presentations, talking points, and seeking feedback in advance could turn a wispy dream into a film, a recorded work or a promotion. Yet you must maintain discipline in language, in timing and in how you approach people.
Written in the Planets
If you feel ready to put an end to some kind of emotional habit that holds you back or causes you unnecessary pain, it looks like you can. Mars in Cancer today makes a supportive aspect to Nessus in Pisces. Nessus can often indicate a pattern that you’ve inherited in some way from previous generations. Mars, of course, is the action planet. With Mercury conjunct Ceres in Gemini (and still making a tricky aspect to Neptune), you might feel of two minds regarding what actually nourishes you. Remember: if something ends up making you feel bad, there’s a good chance it’s not healthy.

And one thing that occurs to me today after having written “Written in the Planets”: the opportunity to “stop the buck” (Nessus) with the emotional habit or trigger could very well come through the activation (Mars) of that trigger. Because, after all, that’s when we’re most aware of them. Funny how that works, huh? *sigh*
Because, after all, that’s when we’re most aware of them. Yes, sigh! it’s very much what’s been happening to me right now, dear Amanda. Not pretty – but great when one is able to see it and work with it! Very helpful. Thanks.
