Tonight’s program looks at the extraordinary month of April 2024, with its total eclipse conjunct Chiron. I offer a “journalism 101” presentation and Tantra Studio on self-centered sexuality.
You know, I know NOTHING about astrology, but it's fascinating... And this is really interesting, listening to your explanation and thoughts about this coming peak or whatever it is... And it does seem that while all the people I listen to that ARE into astrology seem to be kind of seeing a similar thing coming in April... Kind of exciting! I think it'll be good. I have a kind of yearning to get OUT of all this digital relationships pseudo-connection... ? I don't know if that's really what it is... but I am old enough to remember how we were BEFORE computers and cell phones in the home and hand... I miss those days. Wholeness, healing, authenticity... YES. Thank you, Eric.
Eric, coincidentally comical that this article was right under the ticker tape photo of the NYT Mets Victory paper you used for Journalism teaching of verifying sources and information.
"3 AMERICANS GET NOBEL IN MEDICINE
Share Prize for Discoveries Concerning Reproductive Mechanism of Viruses
By John M. Lee
Stockholm, Oct. 16
Three American scientists were jointly awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine today for their discoveries concerning viruses and viral diseases..."
Hi Eric, after many years I recently rediscovered you thanks to a YouTube prompt. You were an early inspiration for me as I was deepening my knowledge of astrology. As I have lived in Brussels we also corresponded about your experiences there, although this was well over a decade ago so you’re not likely to remember!
I would be interested in having a conversation with you on my YouTube channel if you would have the time and inclination.
I really appreciate your approach to astrology as a healing art, which I share as a consulting astrologer, and I would like to exchange some ideas with you about the eclipse season and in particular how we can navigate emotionally and spiritually through the current (mostly self-inflicted!) turmoil we are experiencing in the collective West. I will copy this message and send it to one of your emails as I’m not sure how best to reach you. Warmest regards, Susan Hopkinson 🙏🏻
Great program, again. Good work in the first segment once again hammering home the point about digital disembodiment, being removed from our bodies by the technologies we've become habituated to using almost as often as we breath, with most people unable to operate without them. We do need more introspection, for sure.
Excellent history in the two segments on journalism. Never realized it before, but yeah, "jour" = "day," writing about the day. Good layout of the essentials of good journalism, on-spot calling out Woodward/Bernstein as narrators of an op rather than journalists when it came to Watergate. At the time i was just so glad someone after all was going after the invincible Nixon, though by his resignation i came to realize this was a ruling elite op.
Oh, the Mets. What a subject of derision 1962-8. BTW, they started out in the Polo Grounds, where the Giants played for many years before moving to San Fransisco after the '57 season. My upper Manhattan neighborhood was still Giants land when we moved there in early '59. The Mets didn't move to Shea till '64, which opened just a couple of weeks before the opening of the 1964-5 New York World Fair in nearby Flushing Meadows Park, the two shared a stop on the #7 Flushing Train.
I was not a happy camper in October '69, i was soon to graduate college and move away from New York after years of increasingly wanting to, totally fed up with living there, and hated any team associated with the town, loved it in '66 when both New York baseball teams finished in last place. :-) And here they were, winning it all, only months after their Shea Stadium "housemates" the Jets won the Super Bowl. Retch, vomit, curse,...:-) The NY Times pieces actually did a good job capturing the moment.
I read Tom Wolfe's piece on flak catchers back then. GOOD one. Though he was loose with the truth re the Electric Kool Aid Acid Test.
And yeah, the draft lottery. From 5/11/70 to some time in late August of that year, i was in limbo, having gone on 5/11 to a pre-induction physical which i had to go to because my lottery number was low enough to get a notice to get the physical, after which i was labeled 1A, till i found out in August that my number was too high for the actual induction notices, as the military's need for cannon fodder was shrinking due to the rapid pullout of US troops out of Vietnam.
Self-sexuality. Does sound more direct and less highfalutin than "masturbation." It's been my only sexual practice now for over 32 years. After my previous experiences, i'd say it would be hard to get me to even pursue partner sex, which is millions of times more difficult, and certainly not a million times more rewarding (even if it can be fun), fraught with risks, especially emotional and legal ones,... Why do people who have become comfortable with SS even want to, barring a desire to reproduce and raise a family? Or cement some sort of a bond?
Edit to add: Fascinating segment about the gradual but steady imposition of the transsexual agenda by corporate interests. Thanks, Eric.
