Astrology, Debra Silverman and the New Moon in Scorpio

On November 16, 2009 the New Moon will move into Scorpio.
This is some very powerful energy as Scorpio’s ruling planet is Pluto.
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac and represented by the Scorpion.
Those born under the astrological sign of Scorpio are intense, to say the very least.
I could write volumes about Scorpios and all the zodiac signs for that matter but, instead, I’d like to give you a very special gift and introduce you to Debra Silverman, M.A.
Debra is an astrologer and psychotherapist. In practice for over 32 years …

Slumdog Millionaire: Will the Real Hero Please Stand Up? The Sequel

In “Will the REAL Hero Please Stand Up”  I examined the hero Jamal Malik from “Slumdog Millionaire”.
In this post…the sequel…I’m examining Jamal’s older brother, Salim, to see if he can be aptly dubbed a “hero”…or not.
Now, I know this is “just” a movie so it makes no real sense why I’ve spent such an inordinately large amount of time hashing and re-hashing it but, if you haven’t seen “Slumdog Millionaire”, I can only tell you there are reasons aplenty why it came out of nowhere as a small-budget indie film …

Slumdog Millionaire: Will the Real Hero Please Stand Up?

Wow! Wow! WOW!
 That’s all I could say when I saw Slumdog Millionaire and I’m still saying it now.
 WOW!
For anyone whose seen the movie, you’ll know why I’ve turned monosyllabic.
Every single thing about Slumdog Millionaire is fantastic. There are so many layers of the storyline I’ve spent for reliving every delicious moment.
For me, the movie’s extra meaningful because of the theme of my third book, The Quest to Have it All: Finding the path to purpose and peace and this year’s theme of the same for my radio show, The Quest to Have it All.

Colette’s Halloween Happenings: Art So Amazing…It’s Scary! (Part Two)

In , “Colette’s Halloween Happenings: Art So Amazing…It’s Scary! (Part One)“, I discussed The Quantum Theory as it relates to art and artist. I cited deviantART as the largest “laboratory” in existence for testing of this subject matter.
As stated in “Colette’s Halloween Happenings: Art So Amazing…It’s Scary! (Part One) “, deviantART did not start out as a mega-funded commercial site but, rather, as a passion project which grew organically. That fact seems to consternate some and deviantART has been dealt out some criticism by those who feel deviantART should be …

Colette’s Halloween Happenings: Art So Amazing…It’s SCARY! (Part One)

 
 
“As a human being the artist may have many moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is ‘man’ in a higher sense – he is ‘collective man’ – one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic life of mankind”.
-Carl Jung
 
I remember learning that the brain stores, as a memory, every single thing it sees, hears…perceives.
Every single thing.
All those threads of perception are what we use to weave the tapestry of our actions, reactions, thoughts and emotions.
And, because it’s in the wee quiet hours of a …
