Forever Young . . . . The Third House

Just like the lyrics to the Youth Group song Forever Young read . .  I want to stay forever young.  I included the song and video so you could reminisce the song for two reasons, one I like it and two I know the Drummer by default.

The Third House is the house of learning.  This is where we make our mind up about the world.  If we continually stay in a state of learning then our mind is more potent this way.  At any time that we stagnate from learning then this is the signal to the end of us as well.  This type of stagnation is poison to the body via the mind.

This house deals with communication and your in close environment in your family with your siblings or with your work colleages and school friends and education at all levels and with relationships with early work life life and apprenticeships.  This house also describes your short trips and your means of transport and communication in the world.  It deals with all things practical.

Some say the 9th House rules the Higher mind and the 3rd House rules the lower but this is just the polarity of the situation as both are identical but are opposite.

"If you feel others don't understand you,look to the third house to see how well you make yourself understood.”  ” Donna Cunningham

Old Equipment at 2bbb but and awesome communications tool in its day!

Carolyn Myss writes that the 3rd house “reveals how you direct your energy into the world.” She also says that the challenge of the 3rd house is to become conscious of your motivations, as one's every thought, word, action, and deed invoke the laws of magnetic attraction.

What you put out in the 3rd is what you'll receive. It is clear that features of this house are certainly action and spontaneous movement. Modern astrologers may get a shock to learn that in traditional astrology, action-oriented, desire-inspired, power-wielding Mars, not Mercury, is assigned to rule over  the 3rd House.  I will be looking into this more down the track.

Grade Four and being nine and I am above the boy with the Stanthorpe 1968 sign.

You can see that this would cause some conjecture.  A definitive answer to exactly which planet rules this house and so  many will say Mercury rules the house of Communication and others will say its is firey Mars also that rules here.

If its not happening in your life for what ever reason take a look at what is going on in your third house of communication and see that enlightens you any.

Can you imagine when this race is run,
Turn our golden faces into the sun,
Praising our leaders getting in tune,
The music's played by the mad man

Forever young, I wanna be forever young,
Do you really wanna live forever?
Forever forever
Forever young, I wanna be forever young,
Do you really wanna live forever?
Forever forever

Some are like water some are like the heat,
Some are the melodies some are the beat,
Sooner or later they'll all be gone,
Why don't they stay young?
It's hard to get old without a cause,
I don't want to perish like a fading voice,
Youth is like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever,
So many adventures couldn't happened today,
So many songs that we forgot to play,
So many dreams swinging out in the blue,
We let them come true

Excerpt from Forever Young Lyrics

I have been entering my own as we go along and it seems I have MARS in my third house:

Mars in House III

With Mars in the 3rd house, relationships constitute a sort of confrontation and a dual experience. You try to turn communication into a tool for the development of your capacities to fight and to take action. Therefore, it is most likely that your reactions are very fierce when you deal with a new person or a new idea. You love, you hate, and you cross swords with reality. Your relationships with old acquaintances and new encounters are never devoid of ardour. You experience the world as a marvellous challenge.

Uranus in House III

Uranus is in the 3rd House. You are endowed with an acute sense of innovation and a mind avid for discoveries. Assimilation of knowledge constitutes a challenge for your thirst for renewal. You are open to modern ideas, and you do not hesitate to put all your energy at the service of a personal experience or an uncommon relationship. Sometimes, the way you communicate has some sort of eccentricity touch, which disconcerts the members of your entourage, amuses them, or win them over.

Pluto in House III

With Pluto in the 3rd House, your mode of assimilation is pretty complex. Whether you encounter a person or you discover a new idea, you are primarily attracted to what is concealed and what is left unsaid. You are interested in uncovering the other side of the coin, and you understand the hidden machinery as well as what is secretly at stake in a relationship. Communication brings into play a whole set of underlying information. You are never entirely fooled, and you are fully aware of the subtle rules governing your exchanges.

Pascha - Easter - Gloucester

"In most European languages Easter is called by some variant of the late Latin word Pascha, which in turn derives from the Hebrew pesach, passover'.
Well its probably some kind of sign.  
We travelled to Gloucester  because there were people there asking the same questions we were.  Like why wasn't the rig stopped.  How did it even make it all the way to here unabated.  Why do they have to wait until May for answers.  So we did not passover anything.

THERE IS NO TRUTH, THERE IS ONLY PERCEPTION.

Truth is unchanging, like the elephant, but how one approaches the truth will change ones perception of it.

Things are never quite as they seem.  There is always more to the truth of a matter.  We all have our perceptions of the truth and that is dependent upon how we see a situation and the messages it sends to our brains.  There is always two sides to the story and the truth is somewhere in between.

The Antique Shop in the Industrial Area of Urunga is a secret that needs to be spoken about and then it will be a popular place once the shire realizes the secret hiding there.

The story of the six blind men and the elephant.

Each of the blind men stand in front of the elephant and attempt to determine what an elephant looks like by feeling different parts of the elephant's body. The blind man who feels a leg says the elephant is like a pillar; the one who feels the tail says the elephant is like a rope; the one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a tree branch; the one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand fan; the one who feels the belly says the elephant is like a wall; and the one who feels the tusk says the elephant is like a solid pipe.

The king explains to them:

“You are all right. The reason each one of you is telling it differently is because you have all touched a different part of the elephant. The elephant has all of the features you mentioned.”

This is supposed to resolve the conflict, and the story is used to illustrate the principle that truth can be stated in different ways. We feel, however, that this tale is better used to demonstrate how humans are stuck, not in their misunderstanding of what the truth is, but in the way that they approach the truth. If each of these men would have kept their hands moving and continued their search until they were reasonably sure that they had observed the entire elephant, none of them would have given such a silly description. And this is often the way humans approach things, they draw conclusions too quickly before having a whole picture.

Humans are lazy when it comes to searching for the truth and too often stop at the first glance, or in the case of the blind men and the elephant, at first touch. The second mistake that these men make, which is mirrored by humans, is that they do not communicate with one another to find out what the others are discovering. If two findings contradict one another then the search is not over. These men could have communicated with one another and shown the various parts to one another in order for them all to have a better idea of what an elephant actually looks like.

Had these men kept looking, and communicated with one another, all six of them would have had a very good idea of what an elephant actually looks like. Truth is unchanging, like the elephant, but how one approaches the truth will change ones perception of it. The greatest lesson of this tale is not that the truth is unable to be found, on the contrary, the lesson is that the truth is found from an impeccable search and an open communication with others who are searching for the like!

“ No man is greatly jealous who is not in some measure guilty. ”

 Red Flags come up if a person is not on Facebook.  People are becoming suspect of this.  'What are they hiding' is the catch cry and why are they not transparent?

There is evidence to this all around me.  People are scared, people are suspicious, people are addicted, people are just getting to be where the solicitors were ten years ago with their Blacberry type instant communications for information on cases.  Now we are all there and all wanting instant communication and instant photo loading ability and instant contact.  It is addictive because all instant gratification causes addiction. Proof that delayed gratification is very very soul building!

Below is a caption I took from the website of  FORBES

Farhad: I think we’ve mentioned it before that if you are going out with someone and they don’t have a Facebook profile, you should be suspicious.

Emily: Wait a minute. You may have mentioned that.

Farhad: I think I’ve recommended that. You know why, though? Imagine if this guy didn’t have a Facebook profile. That’s why. You should be suspicious of someone who is not making your relationship known publicly on a site like Facebook. I’m going to go on record with that.

Emily: I’m fine with people not having a Facebook page if they don’t want one. However, I think you’re right. If you’re of a certain age and you meet someone who you are about to go to bed with, and that person doesn’t have a Facebook page, you may be getting a false name. It could be some kind of red flag.

Forbes has a good view on this and I will be doing a lot more thinking about this.  I have lost my own son due to Facebook and one of my daughters got the wrong idea about me because of Facebook and then my youngest daughter as well all but does not acknowledge me in there.  Because of the lack of acknowledgement from her, mostly I cry.  This is not how its supposed to be.

Where does this leave me now?  Some days I want to delete my account and I am aware that it never goes away ever, but in desperation I still feel I want to at times.  I also remember I have had the best time because of Facebook.  I have many new and interesting friends, plenty who I have now met in REAL TIME and I wasn't disappointed.  I went to Gigs with people I met on Facebook.  Now I am a co pilot for another girl who is now my friend who I met on Facebook.

What to do then.?  Smile and know that one day it will all probably still be here and that my Grandchildren and great grandchildren  will be able to read Nanny Mezza Peters's poems one day.
