Another beautiful picture. I haven’t read the article yet but will.

thanks P, this was really my first night sky photo expedition and I am hooked.

Hey EFC,

Awesome as usual and now you are offering more for me to see the pattern of 'foreground' technology vs the tech that is being developed in the background, Ahh it is Uranus perhaps. Really thinking about the length of time it takes for different factions (elites/money) to implant and use of narratives. Seeing the different parts of the technological development, implementation and now operationalization electronical medium cleaving Humans from nature, each other and their bodies. Perhaps it is part of the true potential or maybe is it purpose digital systems.

An area of my work is technology, energy and plants (biological plants not electrical ones). I have been chewing on the reason why it appears as if there is a denaturing agenda sitting in the background of biotechnology sector and investment agenda. How is Pluto in Aquarius going to amplify and crystallise these bio-tech solutions?

Here is an example:

The convergence of biology and digital technology, enabled by advancements like 6G and the Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT), represents a transformative leap for humanity, integrating nanoscale devices into biological systems to monitor health, deliver targeted therapies, and enhance human capabilities. Experiments demonstrating IoBNT functionality, such as DNA nanorobots for targeted drug delivery or nanosensors for real-time glucose monitoring, highlight the potential to revolutionize medicine. However, this integration introduces vulnerabilities to electronic espionage, as advanced techniques like hardware implants, signal interception, and molecular communication hijacking could exploit biological data or manipulate bio-digital systems. As IoBNT evolves, balancing innovation with robust cybersecurity and ethical safeguards is essential to secure this fusion of life and technology.

"One of the most exciting new ideas being proposed as part of future 6G’s (Sixth-Generation) push toward innovation is the incorporation of a biological layer. The introduction of the biological layer promises to usher in novel uses for communication and networking technologies in environments and at scales never before imaginable. The concept of a biological layer follows the development of the emergent nanoscale communication paradigms: molecular communication (MC) and Terahertz (THz) communication. MC, which takes its cues from natural signaling processes, is said to take a bottom-up approach, while THz is said to be more of a top-down one. These innovations have allowed engineers to expand the boundaries of information and communication theory into hitherto uncharted territory, such as the inside of the human body, water pipelines, and toxic gas chambers" https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/49402/emerging-technologies-towards-iont-and-6gs-biological-layer/overview

Oh Eric, what a load of nonsex!

"One day every major city in America will have a telephone."-

Alexander Graham Bell.

Is this the quote you're thinking of?

(I can't find any dispute of the truth of this so I'm presuming he actually said it.)

"Stand in the Park" is a thing started by a bloke in Australia in 2020/21. Every Sunday morning between 10- 11am. It was/is to make human contact for freedom, truth, diversity, fairness. It caught on and continues all over the world.

Well I'm bringing my humanity with me, but you know that. Talking to the doggies keeps our channels open to our fellow non-human species. I just read a comment in one of Sam Bailey's podcasts making the point that close contact with dogs results in a sharing of microbiome which is a healthy thing. Along with making one feel happy.

and yes that is the quote...!

I must hold the unofficial world record for making out with canines. Bring on that microbiome.

Taurus sun - Libra rising here, so being fully embodied, swathed in the magic of touch, smell, sound and the animal presence of other human beings is what makes life worth living. Your reading tonight... highlighting the asteroid Child and its proximity to Pluto... stirred me very deeply. Not long ago children were sacred, and their innocence was a thing to defend fiercely. You spoke of tvs in schools? Ha! Now we have drag shows. The fruit of that exquisite ... and crucial... polarity of man and woman, male and female... is... a beautiful child. I so appreciate your tireless focus on how the digital sphere is dehumanizing us. There is no overstating it.

What a great starcast. Troubling, but your insights are too important not to listen because of it.

So much has changed for the worse.

My personal observations of life as I knew it being born in 54. I remember how wonderful childhood was. My kids had a great childhood too in the 90's, but just before facebook, the ability for kids to message each other on the internet (I think it was AOL) that was the beginning of the fall.

I don't hear a lot of love language spoken, or appreciation of beauty the way we used to.

Also, kids have no freedom everything is arranged for them.

I feel that not learning to write in script is a huge problem. HUGE! Also illiteracy is off the charts.

I read the Invisible Rainbow and I agree with your hypothesis regarding the change in women.

I won't say I've done "research", but that was an eye opening book, People did not suffer from anxiety prior to the electrification of cities. It seems to me that what causes women to not want kids has to be more than programing from society. With each new addition of electricity, tech, new ailments and mental issues arise.

But some good news: in my community where one of my children live, women in their early 30's are having kids all over the place. Most are having 3 and 4. They're raising of them is different than how I raised mine. The moms are stressed in a different way. I blame the technology. Anxiety is high with a kind of ADD setting in as they are juggling the kids, marriage, sometimes a job, and social media. They are feeling judged a lot b/c of social media.

However, they are very physically social. Lots of gatherings at each others homes. Sleep overs too.

So that's good.

As far as us being data, yes we are heading that way. But don't you think there will be large pockets of people who will assemble communities away from that?

It is true it can be sometimes easier for people to voice outrage at awful things

being done to children, and not look at their own children and how the tech is changing

their brains and emotions.

Montessori parents have the right idea when they don't expose the young kids like prior to 4ish

to anything that isn't real. No cartoons, maybe shows with real people doing real things. No dinosaurs even. So now Paw Patrol - with talking dogs who are super-heros and fly around in their vehicles specifically equipped for the rescue jobs they do - is super popular.

My grandson has been watching this show for a year now (he is only 2 1/2) When I was playing with him one afternoon he mentioned having to save someone from a METEOR.

The fact that they are constantly being shown things they can't conceive makes me crazy. It confuses their minds, and creates a kind of disorganization, which leads to (IMHO) Attention Priority Disfunction.

I pray that humanity and the universe/God will change our direction. If we believe in a "designer" who is all knowing, then the planets were set in their place exactly the way they were supposed to be and they behave exactly as they should as they make their way throughout the universe.

Which is why He created you specifically Eric. To enlighten us, by giving you these great skills and the motivation to work to understand these movements and share them with us.

I am so freaking excited for this! I'm in my early 50's and a Capricorn. I feel as though I have lived 3 lives in this one lifetime. I am ready for the next chapter!! (LOL! Okay...I wrote that BEFORE I listened....I am waaaay more optimistic about the next chapter than this...Hahaha. Cheers!)

You always talk about Pluto but you almost never mention its moons, whose names are: Charon, Nyx, Trotsky, Kissinger and Kubrick.

Expand full comment

Pluto has five known moons: Charon, the largest, whose diameter is just over half that of Pluto; Styx; Nix; Kerberos; and Hydra. Pluto and Charon are sometimes considered a binary system because the barycenter of their orbits does not lie within either body, and they are tidally locked.

Expand full comment

I agree that Charon is not a moon; it's part of the binary pair. I often referred to them in the past as the Pluto-Charon system, but this can be confusing vis a vis Chiron.

My names are waaaaay funnier!
