Eutopia - We made it This Far, Where Are We Headed?
Let us look at our communities, our societies, as a microcosm, a living organism, and then let us stretch that into harmonious ideals, of what can be, and what we can become. Stephen is writing about a future Eutopia, a time and place of peace and plenty.
Astronauts from our present day take a trip,… and return to planet Earth, in a future civilization where things have progressed to a harmonious whole. What might that look like, and how can we get there? What have we learned in our present world, and what must change or transform to move forward into our own ideal future?
This presentation invites you, dear explorer, to contemplate a brighter future. Here presented are concepts to inspire and enlighten.
I hope you will join us.
Waves and Swells
Stephen Poplin presented this twist on the whether at the Fellowship on March 13, 2022
From Stephen’s temporary headquarters: “Research for Meryl Ann Butler and my program on Artists and Astrology inspired me, yet again, to encourage people to plan personal peak moments using the wave motion of the planets.”
Say what?
A crest was forming that spring. Grand and inspiring Jupiter was conjoining wondrous Neptune in the skies the 2nd week of April 2022. I urged all to plan to be inspired and moved, and each must do their part. Like planting seeds in your consciousness garden, set aside time and create the ideal circumstances to prepare for divine dictation. Stephen will offer pointers, puns and plans. Be ready for other waves. This really is a modern Almanac.

The 6th Century BC - the Big Picture
Stephen Poplin loves history, philosophy and astrology. He has rolled them all together and peered into the ancient past. Most religion and philosophy teachers know how special the 6th century BC was, but they don’t know why. We had some inspiration from above … but perhaps not in the orthodox sense. Truly, it all lined up in that special century. Such cosmic alignments are rare.
Now we are in the 21st Century. Presently, as we collectively are feeling the strong currents of the Aquarian Stream, it is useful to know the greater schemes of things. How can we make the most out of our present century, and communities and innovations? Perhaps we need to look up more.
We all signed up for these times. … Oh, yes we did.

The world, but especially the USA, need re-programming. This implies that programming has already occurred … now we need to take over the helm. Where shall we sail?

Born Special and on the Trail... Now, How about that GPS?

We are born with gifts and potentials, and then sometimes forget. It is a cosmic play, and he playfully mixes ideas and ideals, urging us into excellence. We are dealt a hand of cards to start “the game”, and from there on it is all about how we play. I do believe there is a joker in the deck!

The ideals of many spiritual groups point positive, and we should simultaneously understand the ground level, and even sub-conscious arenas of influence. Seeds of life and learning are being planted; we need to sift the weeds from the good fruit. Some weeds are packed in fine bows and baskets. Buyer beware. Aspirer, please share!
Stephen mixes religious education and message, fun with fact. He mutes commercials.

Seeing Beyond 2020 astrologically
Part 2 … Stephen discusses the highs and lows, the ins and outs following the pandemic year of 2020; Specifically the election of 2020, the USA Pluto return of 2022, and the Saturn-Neptune alignment of 2026. We are in for some tumultuous times! Using astrological charts for the USA, the Saturn-Pluto alignment of January 2020 and with a historical eye on other eras and movements, let us examine the patterns.
Leaves Change, and so do I
Autumn is a time of transformation. Nature displays its glory of colors in the dying foliage. A perennial lesson unfolds, every year: letting go is natural, and can be beautiful. It will happen to us too. Stephen reminds us that, if there is a scary illness at this end time, there may be novel ways to deal with it, for instance via laugh therapy as in the inspiration of Norman Cousins. Humor can take us to a smile, and beyond. May this be a message of hope, and mirth.
