Many of you may or may not know of my favorite Astrologer - Rob Brezsny creator of the Freewill Astrology website and many dictums which inspire me. Such as Pronoia: "The belief that the whole world is conspiring to shower you with Blessings." Or the Beauty and Truth Lab. Or Rob's notion of Lesbian Men:
"It means embodying feminism as a man without becoming a wimp. It means holding the masculine sacred, but in such a way that the feminine is glorified and enhanced. It means being a macho feminist. It means promoting the feminine archetype and the redemption of the feminine mysteries which have been so degraded, promoting and working on that with a masculine, aggressive, style."
In this week's newsletter Rob mentions a devastating loss. The Garden of Eden, believed by many historians, scholars and archaeologists to be located in modern day Iraq was reputed to contain one of the greatest icons of Judeo-Christian antiquity. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Rob reports that one of his Beauty and Truth researchers who lives at the very juncture of 2 ancient rivers: Tigris and Euphrates has been tracking this very tree. Until the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003 it existed close to Nasiriyah, a gnarley stump probably closely guarded by folklore, believers and skeptics. Surviving over 6000 years of religion, history and mankind. However today, nothing remains but a huge crater, evidence of the US's disregard for antiquity and perhaps the holiest of gifts from God to man - knowledge.
