“Remember
one thing : Freedom is not a license. Freedom is a responsibility.
And
if you cannot take your responsibility yourself, then somebody is going
to take the responsibility on your behalf. And then you are enslaved.”
- Osho
AT
THIS MOMENT, THE WORLD IS POISED ON THE BRINK OF OPPORTUNITY. We
have all been brought to this place in space and time to reflect within,
as part of the waking consciousness here on Earth and to evaluate whether
we are going to grow forward, or be dragged backwards. Never in the
chronicle of consciousness on Earth has such a vital moment existed,
not only for the planet, but for each individual alive now. We have
long been waiting for this moment.
2000 years before the birth of Jesus the Christ, while Europe was scratching
through the Stone Age and America was an uninhabited expanse, towns
in what is now known as Iraq, had schools, public libraries and a legal
system to provide justice for their populace. Geometry and our number
system came from Babylon, the capital city of Iraq that flourished as
a center of culture and commerce for over 2000 years.
With the collapse of the Ottoman-Hungarian Empire at the end of the
First World war, Iraq became a “protectorate” of the British,
who in 1932 gave control into the hands of a puppet king, at around
the same time that oil started to be exported in large quantities to
the West. In 1958, the Iraqi Prime Minister nationalized the country’s
oil, and was promptly overthrown and shot. The Ba’ath party, supported
by the West, and whose numbers included Saddam Hussein, took control
of the country. In 1972 they in turn, nationalized oil, cutting the
West out of unlimited access to huge oil reserves.
Political wranglings go beyond simple comprehension, but supposing that
oil, and the exaggerated justifications for war are just an overlay
to other agendas, agendas that to a generally sleeping world populace
are never considered?
In the Christian understanding of things, at least in the version broadcast
for the past 800 years, and therefore the widely held view in the West,
we only have one lifetime to live. If we do a good and righteous job,
second guessing God’s “wishes” correctly, we will go
to Heaven. If we screw up, we go to the other place, Hell. Purgatory
is a third, but not very satisfactory, possibility for the unsure. So
the interest in looking at the likelihood of other lifetimes does not
arise, except in special circumstances like a near death experience,
deep meditation, the use of “illicit” drugs, or through therapeutic
regression. Through an understanding of any “past life influences,”
we can be drawn to recognize that certain people and situations repeat
in our lives, while we play roles that give us the opportunity to transcend
our thoughts and feelings of being “apart,” or “separate”
from the reality that surrounds us, finding instead acceptance of our
true nature: Godliness.
It may serve to remember that no one is born inherently “good”
or “bad,” “righteous” or “evil,” but that
everyone can unwittingly become a product of their environment if they
are not aware. Wise people learn to recognize their circumstances in
terms of who influences them, and unwise people take in everyone’s
conditioning and become “victims” of circumstances, rather
than masters or mistresses of their own destiny. In this life, we are
now called upon to be one thing, and that is to be ourself, regardless
of what we might think or feel we are “supposed” to be. It
is the only authentic possibility, and yet throughout our journey in
life we become pressured to be anything other than true to our own nature.
What is the fascination with Baghdad, and who are these people involved
in the high drama: Bush I, Bush II and their nemesis (and/or mirror)
Saddam Hussein? There is a story to tell.
In this article we look at the Design of Saddam Hussein, ( or “Mabus”
as a potential third antichrist according to interpreters of Nostradamus’
great works ). Can he be as “bad” as we have been told to
think? Or is he, along with Bush I & II, actually giving us all
the opportunity to awaken into a higher state of consciousness? We shall
look at the Design of Bush II alongside and overlaid with that of Saddam
Hussein and see something astounding.
The Incarnation and Design of Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein was born in Tikrit, Iraq on April 28th, 1937 to farming
parents. He was born into the Incarnation of “Alignment,”
which relates to a very particular form of caring. It brings an intense
level of scrutiny and savvy to apportioning resources ( and thus, wielding
power.) The Incarnation also brings a tendency to push limits imposed
by outside influences beyond anything reasonable, even to the point
of taking dramatic risks that can bring destruction, in an attempt to
bring circumstances into what is personally perceived as alignment.
It is also an Incarnation that makes it extremely unlikely that Saddam
would have any long-lasting friends outside of family ties, and that
he would be fortunate and/or very alert to survive past his 29th birthday.
In the West we might say that his survival is due to a quality called
“street smarts”; in the Middle East it could be appreciated
differently.
In his chart, Saddam has a “split definition” between the
Design of an Emotional Manifestor who catalyzes intense feelings, with
an “abstract mind,” that constantly weighs up situations according
to belief systems related to historical perspective; and a connection
between Root and Spleen Centers indicating a devil-may-care degree of
spontaneous and obdurate risk taking.
Emotional Manifestors trigger nearly everyone. It is almost impossible
not to have one’s feelings stirred by an emotional manifestor.
For all the world not acquainted with Middle Eastern ways, and people
who have absolutely no concept of how Saddam exists in his world, naturally,
there are intense undulations in emotional reaction “to” him.
If we are honest with ourselves, we can realize that much of his karmic
presence could be to give us all a good look at our own emotions. If
we feel hatred because of something he represents to us, then we might
realize that there is a part of our own emotional nature that has not
been acknowledged and does not sit well within us, this is otherwise
known as self-hatred. As Buddhists say: only when we are free from limiting
emotions can we find our own clarity and truth.
Saddam’s stubbornness in the face of overwhelming world opposition
is extraordinary. How could he have survived so long? With his defined
Spleen Center, he can tell in an instant who represents a threat to
him and who does not.
The undefined, “wise” or “conditioning” centers
Saddam has an undefined Sacral Center giving him a potential fascination
for the movements of life and death. Any undefined center is the potential
source of great wisdom and with the gates activated in Saddam’s
sacral center, he can have an uncanny sense of other people’s timing,
be logistically brilliant and recognize the weakness in any enemy and
how to annihilate them.
He has an undefined Self Center, indicating an ability to play many
roles, appearing as all things to all people, often appearing as quite
the innocent. The undefined Self Center provides a mirror for others
to see what they love or hate within themselves.
He has an open Ego Center, implying that he is a hard person to phase,
impress, or please. He lacks a consistent sense of what he wants in
life and sometimes will be wildly inaccurate in recognizing the monetary
worth of things. Being competitive is not something that would entertain
him for very long. With Saddam, it is all or nothing.
The Designs of GW Bush, and Saddam Hussein
 
The
parallels between GW Bush’s Design chart and that of Saddam Hussein
are startling... Both men are living in Incarnations that can assist
others in their journeys through life, albeit in very different ways.
Both men are emotional manifestors, so no matter who you are in the
world, or what you consider important in your life, GW Bush and Saddam
Hussein are going to get your attention, and particularly set off your
emotions. If you have emotional wounds on any level within you, George
W or Saddam will catalyze them and cause those wounds to become apparent.
Neither man has any awareness around their own emotional nature and
it is unlikely that anyone would ever confront them on it because
both men would feel perfectly justified in doing anything they felt they needed
to do. Does this sound dangerous? Without awareness it is!
If you have developed a degree of clarity, acceptance and forgiveness
within yourself, especially in relation to your emotional wounds, then
you will be able to objectively watch an enormous drama being played
out before you, as America/GW Bush, and Iraq /Saddam Hussein face off.
Both men have undefined or open Self Centers. They really have no clue
who they are! They are blown where the wind carries them. They are all
things to all people. Leader, champion, imbecile, monster, friend, enemy;
it is, in a relative way, all the same thing! The fact that one has
a grudge against the other is comical in the sense that they really
have that grudge against themselves! They provide a most incredible opportunity,
in this intense war drama, for the world consciousness to have a good
look at itself! What does the world consciousness wish?
Are we going to war and the opening of a chapter of sorrow and misery
that will be conveyed through our great-grandchildren’s time, or
are we going to grow into peace through connection, conversation and
a recognition that we are all one? The flyers of the Space Shuttle have
given us photograhic proof! We are all living on one planet here! We
are one!
The combined charts of GW Bush and Saddam Hussein
When the chart of GW Bush and Saddam Hussein are overlaid (GW Bush =
Black, Saddam Hussein = Blue. Blue and Black stripes mark overlaps in
the personal Designs), all 9 centers are defined in a “split definition.”
In his own Design chart, GW Bush has two defined channels. Saddam Hussein
has those same two channels defined in his personal chart, as well as
three other definitions. It could be said that Saddam Hussein intrinsically
knows perfectly how GW Bush feels, because he can have the same feelings
himself. Moreover, Saddam Hussein also has an unpredictable and individual
flair that GW Bush has no idea about, that can circumvent rational and
traditional “fair code” processes.
In terms of Ego and “manliness,” it could be said that Saddam
Hussein knows how to push every one of GW Bush’s unsure-about-himself
“buttons.” In terms of fear, Saddam Hussein activates all
of GW Bush’s personal survival issues. In terms of innovation and
giving each other a sense of purpose and direction, they give each other
the possibility of opening doorways in consciousness for enormous personal
and global healing.
The question for all of us is, can we convey enough love for ourselves
as human beings, heal our emotional disparities and allow our love to
expand to be felt in global consciousness, in GW Bush and Saddam Hussein,
so that these two men and their followers can find a way for peaceful
resolution?
Peace be with us.
