A new episode of The Mystical Underground is live! “Adrian Duncan: Age Of Aquarius”:
Join Trish and Rob for a conversation with…
Adrian Ross Duncan, an astrologer and author who lives in Copenhagen. His books are Doing Time on Planet Earth and Astrology: Transformation and Empowerment. He has also developed several astrology apps. His blog at AstroWow.com features provocative articles on current affairs, including the Nov election in the U.S.
“In the absence of that which you are not, that which you are is not.”
When Neale Donald Walsch wrote that sentence, he had no idea what it meant. He was channeling inspired wisdom and knowledge that would become a series of books called, Conversations with God, the first one published in 1995. “With that sentence…I was introduced to the Law of Opposites,” Walsch wrote in a blog post on the Beliefnet.com. “I didn’t understand what was meant by that sentence when I first saw it come off my pen and most people with whom I have shared this wisdom do not ‘get it’ the first time they hear it.”
Once Walsch understood the meaning of the sentence, he realized that it was tremendously powerful. In his blog post entitled, The Law of Opposites, he calls it one the most illuminating statements in all the material that he gathered. “The sentence means that we live in a world of relativity. Everything here is experienced relative to something else, and when there is no ‘something else,’ there is no ability to experience what is being experienced.”
With that, it seems that God has answered the question of why there is evil in the world. Without it, we could not experience good.
Here’s God’s “voice” speaking in Walsch’s first book in the series, as he addresses the importance of opposites: “All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotions—fear or love. In truth there are only two emotions—only two words in the language of the soul. These are the opposite ends of the great polarity which I created when I produced the universe, and your world, as you know it today.”
Whether or not you believe that is really God’s voice speaking through Walsch doesn’t matter. What does matter is the message and it rings true. It’s also a message that writers and poets have written about over the centuries.
The famous 13th century poet Rumi seems to have tuned into the same insight in this refrain from a poem called Necessary Opposites.
God created suffering and heartache,
so that joy might be revealed by its opposite.
Hence, hidden things are manifest by their opposite
But since God has no opposite, He remains hidden.
Feb 29: A HOAX!
Yet, several weeks earlier in February, on Feb 7, in a recorded conversation with Bob Woodward, trump talked about the virus. “This stuff is deadly. I play it down, I like playing it down, I don’t want people to panic.”
So he played it down, all right. Said it would be gone like magic. Gone in April (when cases in the U.S. were spiking). Gone with the hot weather. Children are practically immune (more than half a million children have been infected). No masks, no social distancing. You all have seen the same news I have.
Bottom line: Today, September 9, about 7 months after trump’s conversation with Woodward, after repeated lies to the American people about the virus,there are more than 191,000 Americans dead of COVID. The U.S. has nearly six and a half million cases, the highest in the world.
Some hoax.
We’re on the road to 200,000 Americans dead of COVID because donald trump lied about the severity of the virus. Instead of taking action to contain it, he created absolute chaos around every facet of the pandemic.
My numerologist friend, Holly Granquist, who also reads tarot, sent me another numerology/tarot report thing evening. I don’t know much about numerology, except that numbers often appear in cluster synchronicities, but I do know about the tarot.
From Holly:
First according to the numbers, Joe Biden is going to be the lawful winner of the 2020 presidential election. But, there will be a terrible fight to stop him from being installed. Many of us, I know, are expecting this. I also read Tarot and this is what came up this morning after I had listened to your Alex Miller podcast. The greater the intensity of my focus, the clearer the reading is.
TRUMP: represented by 9 of Cups, 45/9 president, a lonely man. Mr. money bags.
BIDEN: 6 of Wands, A man who is wearing a wreath of victory around his head: success, winning, triumph. He is on a grand horse walking into the future.
JUDGMENT CARD: Judgement card – The 2020 election
4 CUPS REVERSED: The days following election day will signal a time for Americans to snap out of the collective miasma they have been encapsulated in due to the political race.
5 SWORDS: Sadly this card appears next, and this signals the war the far right will bring into play. It will be quite terrible and some people are going to get hurt.
Now for the numberS. INAUGURATION DAY – January 20, 2021 = 8, at 9 am = 17.8. Joe Biden’s second core number is 17.8 if he does not use the Jr. in his birth name.
If he uses Jr., his second core number becomes 18.9 which matches the election day number – 11/3/2020. 11 is a master number and so I have not reduced it.. Joe Biden’s first core number is 11/2. Joe Biden is in a 17.8 personal year, moving into a 18.9 personal year. JOE BIDEN WINS THE ELECTION.
Trump is currently in a 15.6 personal year. For a human being who puts his trust in money above all else, he is in a bad place.
When the numbers from the Tarot cards add up, the number is 18.9 , Joe Biden’s 2nd core number, the election day number, and the inauguration day number. The dye is set.
A new episode of The Mystical Underground is live! “Jerry Kroth: The Covid Crop Circle”:
Join Trish and Rob for a conversation with…
Jerry Kroth, a retired psychology professor and author, who released quite a startling YouTube video in mid-May of this year. It’s about the corona virus and it’s very scientific. But this is The Mystical Underground, which means there must be something from the borderland of reality that is involved, and true enough we are talking about the analysis of a mysterious crop circle designed in the detailed shape of the virus.
Dr. Jerry Kroth’s YouTube Post about the crop circle:
“A covid-19 crop circle?”
At some point in the early 1980s, I taught English as a foreign language (ESOL) in the Broward County night school program. Jennifer, who taught in the classroom next to mine, came in during break that first evening to introduce herself. She remembers that I was sitting at my desk, reading The Cat from Outer Space.
I don’t remember reading this book, but the fact that I love cats and reading quirky books, and anything about outer space, it makes sense. This book by Ted Key later became a movie of the same name.
After Jennifer left Florida, we kept in touch sporadically. She eventually ended up in Colorado, working for the NSA.
In 2018, our daughter, Megan, and a friend went to Denver and met Jennifer for lunch and a tour of the botanical gardens. Megan’s friend was wearing a tank top with an emblem across the front that read, Cats from Outer Space. The synchronicity spans nearly 40 years. What are the odds?
Today, I zoomed with Jennifer’s book club about The Synchronicity Highway, which came out in and this cat from outer space synchro came up. Of the 10 women in the book clubs, only one didn’t work for the NSA. What I find particularly invigorating about this group is that they work for the same organization that Edward Snowden did.
They know stuff and aren’t allowed to talk about it. They, like the black women in the early days of the space program – the hidden figures – have a certain power as a group. And most of them acknowledge that synchronicity is a part of their lives.
I like that. A lot.
We’ve written about the #137 and Wolfgang Pauli previously, but now we have a somewhat disconcerting update.
This comes from the dog park, where we met a recent graduate of Virginia Tech who has a degree in physics. Trish and I know know nothing about the math side of physics, but we can talk generally about the mysterious nature of quantum physics. We tried the #137 on the new grad and it was surprisingly meaningless to him. He also didn’t seem to recognize Pauli’s name F. David Peat, another physicist now better known for his exploration of synchronicity. I guess we’re doing woo-woo physics!
In case our new friend sees this post, here’s a better explanation of Pauli and 137.
Wolfgang Pauli, a physicist, won a Nobel in 1945 for his exclusion principle. He was an early supporter of Jung’s theory on synchronicity and investigated the phenomenon as well. He had a rather striking experience with a set of numbers that lasted for most of his adult life.
Pauli was confounded by one of the unsolved mysteries of modern physics, the value of the fine structure constant, which involves the number 137. “The fine structure constant is one of those numbers at the very root of the universe and of all matter,” writes Arthur I Miller in Deciphering the Cosmic Number: The Strange Friendship of Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung. “If it were different, nothing would be as it is.” As Miller explains in his fascinating book, 137 is not only the “DNA of light” but also the “sum of the Hebrew letters of the word ‘Kabbalah.’ The fine structure constant turns out to be exquisitely tuned to allow life as we know it to exist on our planet.”
Heady stuff, even to non-scientists. 137 is a prime number—a number that can be divided by 1 and by itself. Or, put another way, a prime number is a positive integer that cannot equal the product of two smaller integers. The number became so puzzling to physicists that the famed Richard Feynman, who won the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, said that physicists should put a sign in their offices to remind themselves of how much they don’t know. The sign would be simple: 137.
In 1934, Pauli began discussing his ideas publicly about 137 and Miller speculates that it might have been due to the effect of Jung’s analysis “opening his mind to mystical speculation.”
As physicist and author F. David Peats explained, “…while the other fundamental constants of nature are all immensely small or enormously large, this fine structure constant 1/137 turns out to be a human-sized number. This number…and its place in the scale of the universe particularly puzzled Pauli.”
It’s always interesting the people we meet in the dog park. But the odd thing is, in this instance and others, I often remember the dog’s name, but not the person. The young V. Tech grad’s dog was called Fabor. Not sure why he gave the dog that name, but here’s what Fabor means in the Urban Dicitionary.
Mercury
Today, Rob glanced at the most recent post on our blog and said, “Okay, another astrology post. I need to come up with a real synchronicity.”
My reaction was visceral. “Talk to Jung, Rob.”
In 1949, Jung wrote the introduction to Richard Wilhelm’s translation of The I Ching or the Chinese Book of Changes, the ultimate divination system. Jung also studied astrology – and in his time, there weren’t any apps, astrological charts were erected by hand, with math. He determined certain astrological factors in ideal marriages and romantic partnerships.
In Jung’s Red Book – which he referred to as his confrontation with his personal unconscious – references to myths and archetypes permeate the material. The same myths and archetypes exist in astrology. The astrological natures of the planets, in fact, are based on myth. Hermes – Mercury- was the messenger, Mars was the warrior, Pluto was god of the underworld. Aphrodite – Venus – was the lover, Jupiter was Zeus, the king of kings. In mythology, Saturn was Cronus, the dude who devoured his own children. In astrology that planet may feel like a carnivore because it restricts, squashes, reigns in that natural thrust we human feel for personal freedom. But without Saturn, which also governs structure and physical reality, we wouldn’t exist.
In taking a look at some of this year’s astrological data, here’s something to think about. On November 7, 2000 Mercury had been retrograde since mid-October – first in Scorpio, then it slipped back into Libra and at 9:20 p.m., it turned direct in that sign. When Mercury stations – which means it’s about to turn retrograde or direct – the potential for miscommunication is strong. But for that date, the station caused bedlam because it was election day in the U.S.
Astrologers were predicting chaos and, sure enough, at 7:49 p.m., NBC decided they had enough data from exit polls in Florida and Tom Brokaw called the state for Al Gore. With Florida’s 25 electoral votes, it meant he had won the election.
However, shortly after 10 p.m. – less than an hour after Mercury had turned direct – Brokaw backtracked and said that George W. Bush had won the state and the election. We all know what ensued after that – the endless dispute over the chads on Palm Beach County’s ballot and the eventual decision by the Supreme Court that Bush was the 43rd president of the U.S.
We have another astrological repeat coming up on November 3, 2020. Mercury will be stationary once again in Libra. The difference this time, though, is that it’s about to turn direct – 12:50 PM ET and 9:50 AM PT. In addition, Mercury will be squaring (90 degree angle, challenging) Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter. The first square indicates schemes, extreme tactics. The second square suggests the possibility of communication difficulties, rigid thinking, the status quo. The third one, Mercury square Jupiter, suggests wild exaggerations, errors in judgment, big mess with no clear winner.
Sound familiar?

By now, the “Karen” meme has been documented in numerous viral videos of white women ranting at a man or woman who is a different race. When I first saw one of these, I thought, Is this real?
Apparently, it is. White women who think they’re entitled to… well, something…make spectacles of themselves in public places, demanding one thing or another. They seem to come from anywhere and everywhere, are usually either enraged or indignant – or both – and use some form of the word fuck frequently in the brief video clips.
Sometimes, these “Karens” are referred to as middle-aged white suburban women. I think of them as white female lunatics with big mouths who are often racist – you’re not white like me, you speak a language other than English and are therefore suspect, you’re an immigrant etc. etc. They often threaten to call the cops, like this woman in Central Park.
When this video went viral, she was fired from her job and her dog was taken away from her. You’ll see why on both counts.
So I’ve seen a number of these viral videos and I wonder several things. “Karen” reminds me of the obnoxious woman in a restaurant who demands a refund for her awful dinner (even though her plate is clean) or the white woman wherever who demands to :speak to the manager. But the archetype is strengthening, getting bolder and more prevalent. Why?
Here’s one explanation of the meme.
In this rapidly shifting world right now, the pandemic and general chaos of social unrest and politics seem to be exposing the dark underbellies of who we are as a country, a nation, a world – a humanity – and the picture is sordid. It’s easy for me to dismiss these women as trump supporters (especially the anti-mask women), but that’s too facile. There are undoubtedly democrats and independents in their numbers, too, as well as women who aren’t political at all but who just feel, well, entitled.
And that brings us back to the central question: Why? Why do these white women act like nut cases? What triggers them, sets them off? When I go down that path, I invariably run into an important question: Hey, didn’t your parents teach you how to behave? Were you always the neighborhood bully, the neighborhood blabber mouth, the obnoxious outlier? What made you feel entitled, bitch?
Here’s another from a Latino market. Watch this Karen having a tantrum whe she’s asked to put her mask on.

Telepathy – mind to mind communication – is well documented between twins, identical twins in particular, and between mothers and their children. According to British biologist Rupert Sheldrake, author of Dogs Who Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home, telepathy also occurs between dogs and their humans. What about telepathy between married couples?
That depends, I think, on the specifics. Rob and I have been married for 36 years. We read each other’s body language, we have a good idea how we each react in particular situations, we often finish each other’s sentences. But maybe this happens with any two people who lives together that long. But this evening, an instance of telepathy occurred about something totally random.
I was returning to my office from another part of the house and was thinking about what was on the agenda for tomorrow. The “agenda” has been mostly blank since the lockdown began. And that idea of “tomorrow” has been mostly nebulous since it’s easy to lose track of what day it is. Then I remembered tomorrow, Thursday, someone was coming out to change the filter on our water filtration system between 9 and 11 a.m.
As soon as I sat down at the computer, Rob called out, “Hey, someone is coming to change the filter tomorrow morning between nine and eleven.”
I started laughing and poked my head into his office. “Seconds before you said that, I was thinking the same thing.”
“Really?” And then he laughed.
What struck me was how mundane and random it was. A filter? Really? It wasn’t as if the telepathic communication involved anything dangerous or shocking. It was so ordinary and boring it was laughable.
But perhaps the no resistance atmosphere facilitated the occurrence. It was just another evening at home during the pandemic, when we would work for awhile after dinner, then take a break for the news or the newest episode of whatever series were were currently watching. Relaxed.
In Jung’s book, telepathy falls under the umbrella of synchronicity. And since most – if not all – synchros contain messages of one kind or another, was there something here I didn’t see?
I immediately thought of the time slot: Between 9 and 11. 9-11. An archetype that’s now 19 years old.
So is this a personal 9-11? A global 9-11? A 9-11 for a particular area, state, city, neighborhood, community?
Maybe none of the above. Or all of the above. We’ll see.
