Isis Scrolls The Pluto Report ..excerpt from www.cbsnews.com Dinky Pluto Loses Its Status As Planet as astronomers approve a new definition for planets Pluto, beloved by some as a cosmic underdog but scorned by astronomers who considered it too dinky and distant, was unceremoniously stripped of its status as a planet Thursday. The International Astronomical Union downgraded the ninth rock from the sun in historic new galactic guidelines. Pluto, a planet since 1930, got the boot because it didn't meet the new rules, which say a planet not only must orbit the sun and be large enough to assume a nearly round shape, but must "clear the neighborhood around its orbit." That disqualifies Pluto, whose oblong orbit overlaps Neptune's, downsizing the solar system to eight planets from the traditional nine. —PRAGUE, Czech Republic, Aug. 24, 2006 By WILLIAM J. KOLE Associated Press Writer Pluto Responds – by Caroline Casey in an excerpt from her e-newsletter VisionaryActivism.com The god of the Underworld, was amused by being called "Dead as a planet." “Of course I’m dead, I’m the god of the dead.” And used to being dissed, exiled, albeit at tremendous cost to cultures that do so. Of course human dementors would like to stick their fingers in their ears, and say, "no, no, no, we deny the invisible. We deny the dead, the invisible, the principle of power, the abuse of power known as plutocracy, now rampant.” Death is cheap, not valued, marketed wholesale, so that even the god of death is appalled. And if it’s invisible – we’ll ignore it, which is the essence of the ridiculous concept and reality of waste and garbage. (Pluto loves compost, decay in service to new life.) Let’s remember the astrologer’s witty quip that “there is absolutely no astrological evidence that science is anything but a primitive medieval superstition.” And also, the Groucho Marxist quip we like to use whenever possible, even when it doesn’t really fit: "I’ve had a lovely evening. This wasn’t it. But I’ve had a lovely evening.” (One can fill in the blank of “evening,” with so many other options, “democracy,” for instance.) From the sacred text of Terry Pratchett’s profound and funny novel 'Thief of Time,' even death recoils at humans undervaluing its enormity, the ending of so many unique experiments and miraculous stories. In contemplating humans up to no good in messing with time and death, the heroine says, about humans planning unspeakable harm to creation : “they wouldn’t be that stu…”. But then she stopped. “Of course someone would be that stupid. Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it, saying 'End-of-the World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH,' the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.” http://www.isisscrolls.com Custom programming and design by JSC Marketing, LLC Generated: 2 May, 2017, 20:43 Isis Scrolls It is the Katrina anniversary. As the Irish say, “God created the potato blight, but the British created the famine.” Well humans and their irreverent waste and burning of fossil fuels (more dissing the dead) create cataclysmic climate change, which creates the mega-storms, but then humans really created the ongoing disaster in New Orleans, due to callous indifference. Any country with a modicum of soul would pull all its resources from war (Iraq etc. and the ridiculous crusade to conquer more oil) and devote everything to alleviating the misery of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, spiraling on out to consider the true art of life – creative, compassionate, ingenious response in recognition of our kinship in this one large pulsing dream. Martin Prechtel reminds us, “for want of grief – we go to war.” We have allowed our grief to be kidnapped and taken hostage by plutocrats. Until now. No Scorpio (dedicated to the Underworld) city more honored the dead than New Orleans. And no Scorpio city currently less honors the dead than Washington D.C., as embodied in the obscene jocularity of a Donald Rumsfeld, as the corporate press corps rolls over and pees in the air as a token of its subservience. And whenever the public gets close to sniffing out the hidden truths, the dementors pull out a bit of distracting pornography – “Look over there, Jon Benet’s killer. Oops, no.” When we know there are people right in front of us, to whom we have surrendered our Saturn, our leadership, who are guilty of the murder of countless little girls (and boys and men and animals and oceans.) Let’s vow to be undistractable, aided by Neptune stationing at the unmasking degree. (“An ominous silence falls as the last man is unmasked at a masquerade ball.”) Here we go, heading into this season of revelation, with so much on the line, let us vow to be agents of revelation. Pluto says, “planet, schplanet,” in the words of ally Steve Bhaerman, “Sure it works in practice, but does it work in theory?” The instructions of now, encourage us to be active agents of Pluto, composting death in every imaginative, visualizing, practical manner that synchronicity affords us, to suck the “g” out of “kingdom,” and exhale the energetic chi into the animating of the resulting “kindom.” Pluto would like us to collaborate in every way, sucking the energy out of any death-dealing, up to no good, irreverent violent plot, so that it is fully revealed, rendered harmless and collapses like a souffle’. As Vipassana meditation suggests, inhale the world’s grimy plutocracy, and exhale radiant beauty, now, forever, every day, together, for a few minutes. Inhale death-dealing tyranny, exhale creative democracy. And Terry Pratchett adds: “When in doubt – choose to live!” http://www.isisscrolls.com Custom programming and design by JSC Marketing, LLC Generated: 2 May, 2017, 20:43
