*Growing Toward Friendly Nobility*

This looks like a smooth day, in Prime Time, until the moon goes void of course at 6:47p PT | 9:47p ET | 2:47a(Th) UT. After that, sweet rest and internal reconstitution with psychic experiences.

Whatever philosophy and religion mean to you, you could refine that today because your way out of bondage is internal rather than external; or internal first, followed by the external, as many political prisoners have learned in a way all of us hope we will not be required to. That there are political prisoners at all is a scandal and blot on the character of the human race. I hope and pray that many of them will learn behind bars some kind of esoteric magic through prayer which will ameliorate the consciousness of human beings, and I believe that is just what many of them have done. That does not justify their imprisonment, however, in any way (except perhaps in the eyes of G*d who is not cruel but apparently allows human beings to be cruel and to suffer cruelty, sometimes, in the long process of their evolution. Again, that does not mean we should not help them to escape, as through the efforts of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, two of the most noble organizations on the planet.)

Indeed, the power of persuasion is pronounced today. You should not hide your convictions under a bushel but proclaim them, hoping they will awaken a glimmer of conscience and good will in those who fall under your influence.

You may feel content with some of the fruits of your labors. What you have earned is yours to use as you please. You are finding harmonious, tuneful or musical ways of employing it, which promote comity and accord among those in your home or community.

"He has a head on his shoulders" could be said of someone born with Mercury sextile Saturn, and that's going on right now, so you may have sound judgment about anything you investigate. You may find how you could help those who are suffering, either young people or those helpless (as the imprisoned ones already discussed). Caring about and aiding them could be an adventure.

It is interesting how bending to the winds of others' greed and arrogance can sometimes yield good results to the humble one. Nice guys do not finish last, although they appear to be last mid-way through the race, before the greedy arrogant ones stumble and fall or pant and fail.

But since "the last shall be first and the first last" we cannot always judge whether someone is arrogant and greedy or merely appears to be so. Philanthropy can be the salvation of the successful.

Indeed, philanthropy or other forms of righteous generosity may be the order of the day. Those who are ordinary business people, prosperous or semi-prosperous, sometimes have a hidden side which strives for the welfare of the human race. I for one do not make light of the efforts of college fraternities and sororities or groups like the Rotary clubs or Odd Fellows in this direction. Two of our ex-Presidents, Carter and Clinton, have founded charitable foundations which do a great deal of good work. It is easy to mock hypocrisy, but mixed with it is genuine charity. "Judge not that ye be not judged."

Love, fellowship, comradeship, and close companionship are emphasized. You do not have to seek these assiduously but can fall into them. People are good at heart.
