About Us
The view from my third eye
|
I've been "getting" psychically that Israel was going to be embroiled in a war for some time now, but it really started to feel imminent about three weeks before the attacks and kidnappings that triggered the strategic violence and its horrible consequences. It's easy to say you predicted something in hindsight but I told several people, including my friend Monica Crowley, who is both an anchor on MSNBC TV and has her own radio show every Saturday distributed nationally by Westwood One radio network.
I wish I had been wrong. I don't like to see any living thing suffer, let alone suffer and die a horrible and apparently needless death or be maimed and/or emotionally scarred for life. When I am present enough to remember it, I look down while I walk so I won't crush any insects because of my carelessness.
In martial arts, the highest goal is to avoid fighting. There are many, many stories of the greatest martial artists enduring indignities, insults, and even violence without using their deadly skills. However, when their life or the life of someone they cared about was threatened, truly threatened by individuals who were obviously out to hurt, maim, and kill, and after all other means were exhausted, then these true warriors used their skills and stopped the violence by using violence; sometimes, they were wounded or died defending themselves and those they cared about. This is a noble death for a warrior.
Sigh. It's the 21st Century and I'm not writing about the New Age of Peace and Prosperity, I'm writing about warriors and the death of innocent children of all ages. I've been an astrologer since the 1970's and I knew that the Age of Aquarius was occurring in my lifetime and as someone with the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter in Aquarius I thought that this would be a good thing. Maybe it is, but it certainly has a very terrible way of presenting itself. There are untold stories going on now while the violence gets the headlines, stories of people like Amy and me doing our little part to make the world a better place and doing so in the face of a "news" media that has gotten increasingly focused on what is wrong with the world and dumping it into your living room with the unspoken command of "Do something!"
But what can anyone do when shown the consequences of decades and centuries of hate and misunderstanding and other horrible deaths of innocent people? Not much. Most people just turn it off, if they've seen it at all, and go on about the business of their life spent during the summer of 2006. Some people actually try to do something, like write to their legislative representatives or to the embassies of the various countries involved, though Hizbollah (The Party of God) has no embassy, unless you want to count the Iranian Embassy.
There are ultimate truths here. Just as an individual martial artist involved in a fight has already failed in avoiding violence - the ultimate goal of martial arts - a warrior in a fight is cleaning up a failure, the mess of politicians that have failed to do their job because "war is politics by other means," in the words of Col. Von Klauswitz, the "father" of modern warfare theory.
But there is an ultimate truth at work here that is as disturbing as it is true:
If Hezbollah and the other Arabs and Iranians (they're Persian, not Arabs) who want to wipe Israel off the map and kill every Jew put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.
If the Israelis put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.
The part of my original psychic prediction that I didn't share with you at the beginning of this email is that if Israel did not fight the coming war and win it, decisively, there would be no more Israel in ten years time. That would mean that in 2016 Israel would no longer exist. I'm afraid to even consider what could cause such a thing.
I was right about the war, which is here today, and I admit that doesn't mean I'm correct in the rest of my prediction. But I've seen myself be right too many times to simply dismiss it as anxiety.
Here's a prediction that I do hope comes true: The bulk of US Troops will be home by next July. I hope that those who've lost their lives or had their lives changed for the worse by the violence in the middle east will have their suffering vindicated in some small measure by a lasting peace emerging from this seemingly endless bloodshed. It is possible if the good people of peace in the Arab and Iranian world can convince those dedicated to killing all Jews and wiping Israel off the map that their course is suicidal. |
