I first began writing this blog post the day before yesterday, in advance of today's Venus/Pluto conjunction. It has not been posted until now because something very synchronistic and totally 'of the nature' of the Venus/Pluto conjunction (and perhaps divine intervention) occurred in between.
I will leave the post exactly as it was - which was unfinished - and then give my account of what happened further down the page. For now though, the original post said:
If ever it is categorised this blog Collaborate with Fate is listed under either Metaphysics or Astrology. To be precise however there should be no either/or. In essence astrology is the study of metaphysical laws of the Cosmos and knowledge of these laws reveals our unity and divinity.
Right from the very start of this (and other) blogs since 2006 I have sought to awaken people to this metaphysical understanding that each of us - and everything in this world, animate and inanimate - is just a differentiated part of one source energy. Unfortunately however, the word Astrology rarely conjures up thoughts of a study which alerts us to our inherent unity with all that is. Instead it currently tends to be inseparable in the minds of many from prediction/fortune-telling.
In truth it is a route to acquiring understanding about the ultimate nature of our being and reality.
It's a crying shame that astrology is so misunderstood because by not recognising the vast treasure house of primordial wisdom which underpins the subject, many people may be missing out on a route to accelerate their personal growth and gain a deeper awareness of Life
I deliberately mention this now because this is a particularly good time to be seeking a deeper awareness about Life (and love) for up in the heavens Venus is in its annual conjunction with Pluto.
Venus/Pluto conjunctions have been shown to coincide with the unearthing (Pluto) of truths and especially those which can enrich our lives (Venus). Both planets are currently in the sign of Capricorn - the sign most closely associated with the wisdom teachings. Even when Venus leaves the sign, Pluto will remain constantly in Capricorn until 2023. This denotes that awareness of ancient wisdom is due for a major revival over the next decade and will transform many people's view about established, organised religion and its dogma and doctrines. I want to continue to be one of the many people working to help change those long-held religious paradigms and bring the (suppressed) truth to the masses.
To that end, many moons ago I began a book about the ancient wisdom and the wisdom schools and their teaching methods. It is such a vast subject that it is still a work in progress but a Venus/Pluto conjunction seems like a good time to share an extract from an opening chapter which I entitled Temple of Truth:
“The time will come when the secret wisdom, shall again be the dominating religious and philosophical urge of the world. The day is at hand when the doom of dogma shall be sounded…Out of the cold ashes of lifeless creeds shall rise, phoenix like, the ancient mysteries” Manly P. Hall
Throughout the ages the perpetuation of knowledge about the unity of mankind, and the Universe that he inhabits, has been the sole reason for the existence of Wisdom Schools.
The dissemination of knowledge about the laws of nature, the powers of the mind, the mysteries of matter and the secrets of our being have always been of the utmost importance for the survival and enrichment of humanity. Without some guide stone, some blueprint of basic truth and a moral code for us all to touch base with humanity would find itself in danger of descending into unresolvable social chaos.
We require a structure to our existence and a system of awareness about the world we inhabit, but one which applies to and resonates with people of every race, creed and colour. The Wisdom Schools provide this. These schools have been around since antiquity and many of these 'Temples of Truth' still exist to this day.
Patently, organised religion also provides a very comforting framework for many but it is not the way back to an understanding of our unity or a proponent of unadulterated Truth. If it were religions wouldn’t have competitive theologies, each often claiming to be holier than its counterpart. Many religious people wouldn’t live in fear of angering some all-powerful being or fear being subjected to some damnation if they eschew Church leadership or question it’s precepts.
Religion literally means to re-tie, the word comes from the Latin Religare but religion is supposed to retie us all to one source and one system of faith, not create distinct divisions or disempower us. It should be self evident that any belief system which can spark wars and lead to bloodshed in its name is not a proponent of unity and therefore not a religion at all. Neither is any practice which engenders fear or demands blind faith or excludes anyone from joining.
Man should be able to be a freethinker without threat of religious censure.
Why should man be afraid to think, and why should he fear to express his thoughts?
Is it possible that an infinite Deity is unwilling that a man should investigate the phenomena by which he is surrounded? – Robert G. Ingersoll
Is it possible that an infinite Deity is unwilling that a man should investigate the phenomena by which he is surrounded? – Robert G. Ingersoll
If you wish to call this force God, Brahman or Allah or any other name, it would be of no concern to any true wisdom school. They never ask that anyone relinquish any of their current religious beliefs. All they seek to do is to pass down ancient knowledge and guide mankind towards Universal Truth, with the sole aim that those who are earnestly seeking understanding about the nature of their existence will become aware of their inherent divinity and power.
In essence, the Wisdom Schools have always had one tenet – there is no religion higher than truth - and they teach one fundamental principle, which encompasses all others. This can be summed up in the quote:
‘The secret of life is to die before we die and find there is no death.’
To some this may sound very cryptic, so let's put it in plain language - wisdom teachers make it known that we need to learn to die to the belief of our separateness and awaken to an understanding of our immortality as energy enclosed in form.
Indeed we could call this THE fundamental wisdom teaching from which all others arise, for it is an unassailable scientific fact that energy can never be destroyed.
We appear to be solid blocks of flesh and blood but make no mistake, when any of the constituent parts of matter, whether that be Mankind or any other animate or inanimate object are looked at under a powerful microscope, then at the quantum level (the level of atoms) everything is seen to be just a bundle of moving energy. Moreover this is one vast unified energy, for everything existing throughout the entire Universe affects, or is affected by, everything else. As human beings we are all just a differentiated part of one energy system.
This quickly leads to one further, magnificent understanding. As it is another scientific truth that all parts are the same in kind and quality as the whole they arose from, it has to follow that if we come from this one energy ‘God Source' then we are all divine.
When we ‘die’ to the falsehood of our separation and aloneness and awaken to the realisation of our innate divinity, concomitantly we discover that heaven is not a place ‘up there’ where God (call him, it or she or what you wish) resides but a state of mind we can create in our daily life - even when our routine involves encountering irritable people, traffic jams, arguments with co-workers or loved ones, bill paying and the boring minutiae of daily tasks. When we realise this it is at that point we are metaphorically reborn.
We are reborn to a life where we realise we are not constrained within the physical body but rather we are all-powerful spiritual beings having a human experience.

So, I had added this extract and I had titled the post The Single Organising Principle of the Universe because I was going to conclude by saying that the ancient teachings inform us that the single organising force in the Universe is energy (Vibration/oscillation/frequency) and the single organising principle is interconnectivity - and astrology is the route to understanding both.
Just as I was about to write that out however, I got an e-mail which led me to YouTube where my attention was drawn to a video that I had last watched about 3 years ago. It was Michael Talbot talking about his book The Holographic Universe. I became engrossed in this video once more and then, as this interview had been recorded in 1991, I started wondering what the latest thinking was about the theory of a Holographic Universe. My very first Google search led me to this site Butterfliesfree.com and a series of 'workshop' videos posted there.
I quickly realised I was having my very own Venus/Pluto experience because;
a) all metaphysicians/astrologers know that butterflies - the website name - have direct correspondence with the planet Pluto.
b) as I started to watch the videos, I recognised the huge synchronicity between what I had been writing about (the oneness of Life) and the subject matter of these videos (Holography) and
c) I had just written the words in my blogpost "Venus/Pluto conjunctions have been shown to coincide with the unearthing (Pluto) of truths and especially those which can enrich our lives (Venus)" and I had also mentioned 'all parts are the same in kind and quality as the whole they arose from'.
I knew there must be something to enrich my understanding in that sites content because the timing was so right. Therefore, yesterday I engaged in over SIX hours of continuous viewing (because I was so riveted) and then realised I had to come back to this post and share the links to each video.
These videos are an astounding piece of work by Stephen Davis, a true labour of love given freely which pulls together and packages up in one complete parcel in six hours all the knowledge about Quantum Mechanics and Metaphysics and the nature of the cosmos that it has taken me and many others decades to learn! After you have watched the videos if you reread my post you'll perhaps recognise what a synchronicity it was to find these videos at this time.
I need to go away and cogitate on what I have viewed (and download Stephen's e-book) as it adds a new dimension/angle to my understanding, but for now all I can say is if you truly want to collaborate with fate, please do take the time to watch all these videos. If you are reading this I think you - like me - are meant to be led to them!
