Ah, yes. Here we are, right on schedule. I received a perfect example of the leaps in logic and judgement related to this topic, folks...
It's like clockwork, yo. The same comments, put forth in the same ways...
And since I have dealt with this so many times in the past, here is the refutation, as well.
Questioning made this comment (regarding the previous post: The Secret Vs. Evolutionary Astrology):
"Neptune rules, not only illusion and denial, but also faith. You may say that the Age of Pisces, the Age of Faith is behind us, but faith, Neptune in it highest expression is never out-of-date, and never a mistake. For faith is what keeps the meek, the dispossessed, the downtrodden going. (read "Man's Search For Meaning" by Viktor Frankl and you'll get what I'm trying to say) Sooner or later, everyone needs it. I see life as a process which involves ALL the planets, interacting more or less in each of our lives; each representing a valuable psychological component of what it means to be human.Who can say what is delusion and what is tremendous faith? Who is the final judge in determining what is reality? Perhaps, for now, you choose to believe in a reality where faith is delusion, fantasy. Perhaps this is why you cannot manifest what you desire. Because you don't believe you can; because at the heart of your being, you believe in scarcity, lack, or unworthiness. I'm just suggesting this because you seem so negative about the possibility of manifesting one's dreams. It can happen, Willow. Why it works for some and not others, one can only imagine. But perhaps experiencing enough disappointments in this area is just what a person needs to clarify what it is he really wants. When what you say you want is what your soul actually wants, I think nothing can prevent its manifestation."
I understand what Neptune rules, Questioning. But what I also understand is that at the tail-end of any era, there are certain forms that reach a point of stagnation. This is what we are experiencing right now. The Age of Pisces is, for all intents and purposes, over, and the Age of Aquarius is beginning. We need to evolve Neptune's expression...
Does that mean faith is no longer necessary? Of course not. I didn't say anything remotely like that. And here is your first leap in logic.
Questioning says: "Perhaps, for now, you choose to believe in a reality where faith is delusion, fantasy."
I didn't say anything about faith being delusion or fantasy. What I said was that a delusional world view in which nothing "bad" ever happens (or if it does, it's the individual's problem for "creating it") was not a progressive or responsible thing to which to prescribe.
Insisting upon living with Neptunian blinders in a "different dimension" from the rest of the planet is not what the situation requires at the moment.
Yes, I agree, faith is what sustains most of us as human beings. But faith does not have to involve mass delusion.
Neptune relates to our spiritual guidance, our connection with the divine, yes. It doesn't have to relate to avoidance of anything that doesn't fit its preferred understanding of life. It doesn't have to involve refusing to look at material reality, at what is going on on the planet. Those are some of its expressions at tail-end Pisces, and these expressions must be brought to awareness in order to have a successful transition to Aquarius. Otherwise, we carry the problems of the past forward...blind to them.
Let me be clear! Escapism, transcendence, detaching from the problems of the planet - they all have their place. At times. And in the proper doses. But again, it's about evolving the expression and integrating all parts of the human experience/birth chart - not living in denial of the parts that don't suit us.
I'm not refuting faith here. What I'm refuting is the application of the ideology found in The Secret, and the assumptions/leaps in logic that people seem to make in that application.
Questioning says:
"Perhaps this is why you cannot manifest what you desire. Because you don't believe you can; because at the heart of your being, you believe in scarcity, lack, or unworthiness."
Second leap in logic. Who said I can't manifest what I desire? Who says I haven't or that I don't? Pretty presumptuous of you, considering you know little to nothing about me or my life. But this is the same thing many people come out with when anyone attempts to turn any kind of critical analysis or personal discernment on this subject.
I'm only saying what I'm saying because it "didn't work for me," right?

Depleted uranium munitions are munitions that have depleted uranium at their core so that they are hard/dense enough to penetrate tanks. Despite the name, the uranium is still radioactive. When the munitions hit their target, they turn to dust. This dust is then breathed in or ingested by people coming into contact with it. It is spread around in the air and water currents and can travel long distances.
Contamination from depleted uranium has caused devastating ill health (including cancer) in many NATO soldiers and in the people of Iraq, as well as in other countries that have been on the receiving end of it. This has also caused horrific birth defects in the offspring of Iraquis and NATO soldiers, as well as chronic ill health and shortened life spans. Entire genetic lines have been destroyed by the use of depleted uranium munitions and bombs. The women of Fallujah were told by doctors to simply stop having babies because the birth defects were so common.
