Virgo Sun & Gemini moon continues.
Mercury rules Gemini & Virgo.
Mercury is Hermes, the Messenger.
Mercury is retrograde in Leo – a burning ground of information.

Hermeneutics – Quest for Meaning.
And so…learning & understand a new word.
My favorite word, actually!
Hermeneutics** – an interesting word.
From the word Hermes, Mercury, the Divine Messenger.
A word that I love to use – What does it mean?
“to interpret – interpreting a text, a phrase, a philosophy, a belief, teachings, etc – interpretation of words, language, written or spoken.”

Yesterday we entered into a text & we responded to it.
We were trying to understand the writers intentions.
What did it mean? Why was it sent?

And so…
To those who responded yesterday.
Everyone’s response was exceptional.
Thank you everyone for your responses.
So intelligent, thought out, respectful.

**In Greek mythology, Hermes was the God of many things, including language and writing. He was every English teacher’s dream. The word hermeneutics means the interpretation of language, whether written or spoken. Generally, hermeneutics is an activity that interests biblical scholars, and the word is sometimes used in philosophy as well. If you enjoy sitting in a library poring over the same book for hours from every angle, then you will love hermeneutics.

As a scientific method, Hermeneutics describes the process of analyzing and interpreting written text and imagery to understand the text and the creator’s underlying intentions.

A quote to counteract our deconstruction of hate yesterday.
Our next study will be of Love….Risa

“Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depth of their hearts where neither sin nor knowledge could reach, the core of reality, the person that each one is in the eyes of the divine. If only they could see themselves as they really are, if only we could see each other that way all the time, there would be no more war, hatred, greed, or cruelty. I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other.” ~ Thomas Merton’s Epiphany

“You will know them by their fruits (words).”
Deconstructing hate. Class in session today.
An exploration into messages of hate.
Whom & what does hate serve?
A question to be pondered & answered here by everyone.
And so…
I receive hate mail.
The hate isn’t entirely directed at me.
It’s directed at another.
However, whomever it’s direct to, it is filled with hatred.

This is our school. So we will read a message of hate today.
We will not react to it.
We will think about it – responding to it & come to understand it.

I am asking us to ponder the following….
What is the message really saying?
What are these words conveying?
Where did they come from?
What is their purpose?
Whom do they hurt?

So….
Learning today together.
Today we have Gemini moon – a perfect day to communicate.
Under Virgo Sun – ruled by Mercury –
Virgo can be deeply critical & judgemental of another (unskillful)/
And it can also be deeply devoted & serving another (skillful).
When we know astrology we have choices as to our behavior.

And so…
I will post a message sent to me.
And….
Everyone is asked to respond to my questions.

Class in session today.
A different kind of post today on Monday.
August 26, 2024 – a new week begins.

OK. so I receive terrible messages from people.
Multiple levels of hateful words. I block the people who send
these messages, try to protect myself from harm & then I delete the messages.
But today is different.
I am going to post the most recent message & we are going to discuss the message.
I would like my readers to read the messages & answer my questions. Everyone here is intelligence, they are knowledgeable
about the F/Darkness & the F/Light.
They know a mind that is entrained is a mind that is controlled by the F/darkness. And that the person no longer has any control over their thinking mind.
So I am going to ask everyone to read these words.
My questions.
What do you hear?
What is the message?
Where did these words come from?
Why would someone send this message out to the world.
How did this lower mind come to believe these things?
What is the result of these words?
And most of all the question is – when sending these words out to another or to the world who is this message really about?

The messages is from a previous friend in Santa Cruz.
I am not in reaction to her words.
I am curious about them.
How could this intelligent woman say these things?
That is my question to you? How could this occur?
I will use names & cities/states here.
Her name is Caryn & last night these words from her came thru messenger on my FB page.
I want to share them with you.
Using them as a lesson in communication (Gemini/Virgo).

Please don’t react or apologize.
Lift up & Think instead & answer the questions.
I don’t want my readers to react on an emotional level.
And you don’t need to apologize to me for her lack of manners.
I want you to answer the above questions so we all learn about this type of behavior & understand why & how it happens.

So here are her messages.
Some I had to actually not post as they were so personal & intrusive. She mis used personal information about me.

From Caryn in Santa Cruz to Risa.
It is heartbreaking for me to see you support Hitler’s biggest fan. Maybe in another life we can be friends again. He has raped teenagers, grifted millions, supports Putin and likes Kim in North Korea because they are Dictators like he wants to be. Most of his former staff in Government has denounced him for his greed, stupidity and lack of morality. Women are in peril while pregnant and not getting help when they are most vulnerable. Wondering what now possesses your mind.
I don’t understand why you feel this most disgusting person has anything to do with Jesus, Buddha etc. He likes the KKK
Caryn
He spreads discord and hatred
He lead an Insurrection
Read Project 2025.
His message is Mr me me me me me.
Risa, you will live to rue your position. Like many on Germany descended into a pit of evil and millions were murdered including Homosexuals.
The women of the US will defeat him, because we aren’t going back. No American Taliban. Caryn.

OK, so that is her message.
What is she saying? Where did these words & ideas come from? Why would anyone say these things. What is her position?
When considering yesterday’s post on Power – where is her power? Where does it come from? How is she using the power of her words? What are her beliefs? What is the outcome of these types of ideas? And what does this really say about this person?
Who is this message really about?

This is our classroom. I expect by now after years of my writing here that everyone here is a THINKER. Therefore, I am asking everyone to respond to my questions, using the message from Caryn as part of our learning. Again, do not offer apologies for her ill unskillful manners. And DO NOT RESPOND EMOTIONALLY. Respond by answering my questions. Then we all learn together with intelligence and with love.

I do not hate Caryn. I am more curious about how someone who is intelligent can come to have this perspective & spew it out towards friends & into the world. What type of mind is this?

I look forward to your answers, everyone.
This is our classroom. We are all students here.
Learning together.
Class in session. Looking forward to everyone’s responses.
love, Risa
