Forgiveness is like a ball that bounces around from hand to hand on a volleyball field of adults playing. It is not held long enough, it is touched momentarily and bounced on. As a result, like forgiveness, it is not deeply held, not thoroughly felt; the savoring of its flavor and taste is not allowed for an extended time, and real texture, shape and form goes unknown. So we miss the cleansing, healing power that can create a revolution in our soul, transforming us forever . Still many more lack the vision and the depth in heart to take it to a whole new level or dimension. Oh, it is so easily spoken of, preached about, offered as an advice from friends, family members, religious professionals then often filed in the "to be done" folder to get to later on. But how many of us can plunge deeper and beyond the shallowness of forgiveness that are often spoken or written in mere words?
The revolution of Egypt candidly reveals that the "gods are among us!" And Saturn in Libra is helping us experience and understand how to stand elegantly firm with dignified restraint. The thirty-something dissidents—many of whom have Saturn in Libra in their charts—gave us a vital, organized, disciplined, harmonious and successful demonstration of peace in a region that has too long carried the world’s projected shadow of violence. They also showed us what happens when we change the lens in which we see fear (Libra) through and instead pierce in it through the eyes and hearts of our enemies. When we do, we can meet compassion and understanding (Pisces) in a whole new way. Egypt as a nation, the Mubarak regime, and the young dissidents are all going through their Saturn returns (it’s the first for the dissidents born when Mubarak came to power; it’s the second for the country). And Saturn returns are no party; they are kick-ass times!
As I watched this video, I could see the light and the essence of a god radiating through the energy field of Wael Ghonim. I couldn't help but feel his feelings which swelled up the waters of my womb, flooding my heart and bursting forth through the channels of my tear ducts as I cried deeply for at least 15 minutes. The tearful Pisces moments took me into the deeper inner layers of my soul where my mind and my personal stories did not exist at all. Boundaries were erased and the oneness filled every pocket of space in my little body, the tiny mind and the infinity of my soul. You see, I've experienced, first hand, the ravages of war when my West African homeland and my life (along with thousands of others) was turned upside down and inside out during a coup in 1979. I know first hand.
The question is.. what really matters to you? Well... the answer to that will rely on the quality of your heart, rather than its quantity.
Each and everyone of us has someone or others that needs our forgiveness. I know, sometimes its the last thing we feel we can even do after someone has ripped our hearts out with claws, taken our lives away by storm, never loved us like we wanted them to - at least that is the story we created and read over and over. And even if- as you read this- you can't seem to recall anyone then perhaps you are overlooking the biggest one... your SELF. To err is human... to forgive is divine. Forgiveness breaks down the walls of fear allowing us to dissolve ego and discover the treasures that lie beyond one of life's biggest illusion. Do you know what it means to forgive yourself?

Thanks to the internet, to social networking... the revolution can now be televised....slowly, but surely!!
