Hi Rad,
Sorry for the insistence, but I wonder if you missed my post, or perhaps the question.

Hi Rad,
Yes, I wish to continue. I would need more a week to do the analysis.
I have a question regarding Lincoln's evolutionary state. I have been reading a little about him and it seems to me he was 3rd individuated. But given that Obama is already within 1st spiritual, should I suppose that Lincoln was in the cusp or 1st spiritual too?
Thanks for your guidance and for waiting and allowing us to take the time we need.
Thanks again
God Bless
Hi Mirta,
Yes, right on the cusp of the 1st Individuate State ... moving back and forth between the 3rd Individuated, and the 1st Spiritual. This is quite typical: the moving back and forth for more than one life.
God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad, and practice group
Here I'm posting my thoughts on some aspects of the lucifer archetype in these two incredible, amazing social leaders.
Thanks for the opportunity to practice with you
God Bless, Gonzalo
In Lincoln´s birthchart, the Lucifer in Virgo in the 7th House reflects being given a mission by God for the betterment of society. It is a symbol of being guided to give to people what they need in order to create a more balanced and equitable society, and to empower people to give to one another, and to share, what they need in order to create such type of society. The empowerment is based on liberation from conditioning societal factors that prevent the integration and application of the true nature and capacities of the individuals in what their role within the social destiny is called to be (south node of lucifer in Leo 6th House, ruled by Sun in the 1st House Aquarius). Thus, "In the 1835–36 legislative session, he voted to expand suffrage to white males, whether landowners or not". This is outstanding in the policies designed to reduce and progressively eliminate slavery. The lucifer being in Virgo correlates with a need to create a duplicity, because of the existing social extremes and imbalances, between his own private ideals about what society should look like, and his social constructed persona as a political leader, that would allow to lead and to balance the opposing social forces toward equitability, unity, and step by step, progressive advance toward implementing these Aquarius/Pisces ideals (further, Lucifer itself is ruled by the 1st House Mercury in Pisces, full phase opposition to lucifer). Same time, the Virgo archetype reflects the need for practicality and realistic based action instead of a leadership that solely relies on unreachable ideals appealing solely to more sensible individuals. Instead, a leadership that is based on knowledge of practical nature about how the capacities of individuals can be integrated within the 'system' and are able to contribute in ways that allow to create more material wellbeing that can be shared by all, and that benefit the whole of society and each of its parts or groups, each of them defined by different interests and ways of being. The inspiration to balance opposing forces within social field translated in a moderate approach in relation to slavery: "he was known for his "free soil" stance of opposing both slavery and abolitionism. He first articulated this in 1837, saying, "[The] Institution of slavery is founded on both injustice and bad policy, but the promulgation of abolition doctrines tends rather to increase than abate its evils." I note in this quote that his argument is grounded not only in natural law: 'bad policy' refers to considerations of practical/economic nature, relating to the creation of wealth and growth of the markets by means of making good use of the individuals capacities developed by exercising their free initiative, ie. beliefs and natural laws that were in the basis of the US Declaration of Independence. In the Peoria Speech (October 1854) Lincoln said: "Nearly eighty years ago we began by declaring that all men are created equal; but now from that beginning we have run down to the other declaration, that for some men to enslave others is a "sacred right of self-government." ... Our republican robe is soiled and trailed in the dust. Let us repurify it. ... Let us re-adopt the Declaration of Independence, and with it, the practices, and policy, which harmonize with it. ... If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union: but we shall have saved it, as to make, and keep it, forever worthy of the saving." Given that lucifer is square Neptune/Saturn in the 9th House Sagittarius, within the Disseminating (Neptune) and the Last Quarter (Saturn) phases, his appeal to the founding ideals of his country involved the intention for a collective liberation from consensus conservative beliefs and delusions about the basis for the economy (Neptune rules the 2nd House). Pluto and the 1st House Pisces planets reflect a leadership that is based on ideals, and at same time, the intention to bring to social awareness illusions and delusions that have departed from natural law and from the original inspiration. What was Lincoln's vision about the future of the liberated slaves? Much historical speculation seems to exist about this point. It is clear from his birthchart that his intentions would be beyond obvious because of the need to lead, balance and unite opposing forces including highly conservative groups. To me the symbols quoted symbols indicate though that Lincoln had an inspired vision about the future of his country in which the races would be integrated in freedom. The vision is signified by Neptune Sagittarius 9th House square lucifer, being the ruled of the 1st House planets in Pisces, and again the lucifer nodes with the south node in Leo ruled by the Sun in the 1st House Aquarius, ie. liberation and citizenship of those who had been oppressed and discriminated, and the north node of lucifer in the 12th House Aquarius-union within diversity-ruled by Uranus in the 9th House Scorpio, ie. the melting pot of the races (at same time, a symbol of his own evolutionary process of integration of a variety of adn types and cultural backgrounds in order to enrich and accelerate his Soul's adaptation/evolution). The lucifer being in the 7th House correlates with the need to balance opposing forces within social field, and a political need for moderation, and the duplicity of the social constructed persona. Being Virgo, ruled by Mercury Pisces, reflects too that the social persona is delusive or at least, that the individual wearing this mask is not what he seems. These symbols indicate that Lincoln didn't want the war, because war is a threat to the unity of the country. However, he was neither a pacifist, nor willing to resist the war when it became necessary in order to preserve the union (because the union was a condition for wellbeing for all involved). At such point he became also an inspired general: the 1st House Pisces, and Uranus, ruler of the north node of lucifer, conjunct the Moon's North Node in Scorpio, ruling Sun/Pallas in the 1st House Aquarius. Again the lucifer square to the Sagittarius Neptune/Saturn reflects the non-dogmatic and essentially practical orientation to obtain the application of natural law. To me this is amazingly similar to the Kurukshetra conflict where Krishna first attempted to attain peace when it was still possible. Later, when the battle was imminent, Krishna explained Arjuna why the war was necessary based on philosophical principles, in order to absolve his doubts. A moment later, about to enter the battle, Krishna admonished Arjuna not to waste time in philosophical speculations, and guides Arjuna's chariot into the battle, as a manifestation of Arjuna's selfless action (Yogananda, a declared reincarnation of Arjuna, also had lucifer in Virgo, in the 1st House, squaring his Sagittarius Mercury). Uranus in Scorpio ruled by Pluto in the 1st House, Uranus ruling the north node of lucifer, and Mars/Amazone in the 8th House Libra, reflect that Lincoln used the supplemental powers afforded because of the war, to effect the abolition of slavery leading to equality of rights.
Now Obama has lucifer in the 6th House Leo, with the south node of lucifer in leo 6th House conjunct lucifer and its ruler, the Sun, and the north node of lucifer in the 1st House Aquarius, reflecting the ongoing mission to empower people to assume their individual roles in the destiny of their nation in order to create an equitable society. Of course many of the themes in Lincoln's are present here too, with the same archetypes involved, so I will not repeat all of them. The imbalances of his society are reflected in the 7th House emphasis with Pluto/Uranus/North Node in the 7th House, Pluto in the 7th House being Virgo, ie. crisis of imbalance, and the Saturn 12th House Capricorn inconjunct Uranus and sextile the Pallas in the 2nd House, ruled by Neptune Scorpio in the 9th House. This reflects the delusions of the self-appointed Zarathustras in his country, to maintain, perpetuate and increase the imbalances, based on their exclusive self interest, translating in a massive social crisis. That these imbalances have created a new type of slavery because of the types of silly jobs that so many people can get in these economies, and how the money they get for these jobs allows only for survival, is reflected in Pluto Virgo, Pisces in the 2nd House, Vesta in Taurus squaring the nodes. Venus in Cancer trine Neptune, ruled by the Moon square the nodes, ruled by Mercury in the 6th House opposing Saturn in the 12th House. So many people that have been learning to be happy just with eating hamburgers, drinking beer, and watching tv, and praying they will not lose this 'wellbeing'. Obama's 'moderate' approach is again reflected in the Virgo 7th House Pluto (exactly conjunct Lincoln's lucifer), and lucifer in the 6th House Leo with its north node in Aquarius 1st House ruled by Uranus Leo 7th House conjunct the Moon's North Node, which correlates to working to create and expand the democratic basis that supports his leadership, and thus, the possibility for social change. Despite his moderation, the threat that his leadership poses on the established powers, who would want a president they can totally control, is reflected again in the Uranus/Saturn inconjunct, and in the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction in the 12th house, where Jupiter is the ruler of the 11th House. That a similar scheme of things has occurred in the social past of his country, and his Soul, is obvious with the South Node in Aquarius in the 1st House and its ruler Uranus being conjunct the North Node. These symbols imply a recreation of conditions from the past. Thus, the lucifer north node being conjunct the Moon's South Node and Amazone in Aquarius, ruled by Uranus conjunct the Moon's North Node, which is conjunct Pluto, and Mars in the 8th House inconjunct the north node of lucifer (the south node of his Mars is 8th House Libra, ie. Lincoln's Mars), reflects the potential intensity of the social confrontations to come, and the given mission to fight to preserve the people in midst of the crises created by inequality. Further, the south node of Amazone is conjunct the Scorpio Neptune in the 9th House, which is conjunct Lincoln's Uranus/North Node, and this Neptune squares the Aquarius/Leo Asc/Dsc axis, and rules Pallas which opposes Mars in the 8th House Virgo, reflecting not only the crises in the 'American dream' (Neptune grand trine with Cancer Venus and Chiron in Pisces) but again the potential need for intense social confrontation required to achieve a new balance, and a new sense of collective destiny, and identity.

Hi Rad and all,
Regarding how the bearer of light archetype played out in the life of Lincoln, first the basic astro correlations:
Lincoln's Lucifer was at 6 Virgo, retrograde in this first house. That Lucifer is in gibbous phase opposition to his Pluto in the first. It is ruled by Mercury in Pisces in the 1st house which is conjunct Pluto and ruled by Neptune. That Mercury also forms a first quarter square with Neptune and Saturn both in Sag in the 9th house Neptune being conjunct the MC.
The sn of Lincoln's Lucifer is 18 Leo in the 6th house, conjunct the NN of Neptune, square to Uranus and ruled by the Sun which is conjunct the north node of Lucifer at 20 Aquarius. The north node of Lucifer is ruled by Uranus which is in Scorpio in the 9th house conjunct the north node of the Moon and again squares the sn in Leo in the 6th.
The north node of Lucifer is also conjunct the Ascendent and with a wide orb conjunct Chiron in Aquarius in the 12th. The nodal axis of the Moon itself forms a skipped step with that Chiron in Aquarius in the 12th house.
The way I have done this is by first offering a basic set up of the general karmic dynamics implied by the Lucifer signatures in Lincoln's chart, and then the specific correlations of those signatures as it relates to the arhchetype of the "bearer of light".
The essence of the soul of Lincoln, in the life of Lincoln was to be an agent of a higher source to establish greater freedom and equality for all people, regardless of "caste". He did this through establishing a radical vision (9th house, Uranus) that excellerated the times he was living in to a higher level of consciousness. Pluto in the first in Pisces signifies the spiritual calling to fulfill a special purpose. In opposition to Lucifer in Virgo in the 6th: A core karmic dynamic within this soul is where he was influenced and negatively effected by the debilitating criticism of other people. It was the use of word, duplicity and trickery of others that had an effect of frequently creating a disempowering and overwhelming effect on this soul. The ruler of that Lucifer being Mercury is in a balsamic conjunction to Pluto and squaring the Saturn Neptune balsamic conjuction along with the MC. The stress within this soul was to communicate in ways that all people could hear (Pisces, Neptune) something that was new, but was also relevent and appropriate according to the climate of the culture and the prevailing beliefs and visions of that culture - Saturn in Sag, MC. Relative to this Lucifer Pluto opposition this signifies at a core level the stress this soul had in going back and forth between doubting himself, his purpose and his unique role via the criticism (Virgo, gibbous phase) and dissuasion of other people who were likely influenced in some way by evil. The evolutionary intention within this was for Lincoln to learn to throw off and release from himself unecessary relating patterns that give too much power away to other people by way of trying to listen to them in a balanced way. It also implies, relative to the nature of the Pluto polarity point, that these "others" had the effect of instigatingn evolution within the soul by reflecting back to Lincoln the limitations in his own direct inspiration and connection to a higher purpose he is here to act upon.
The disillusioning dynamic for this soul has been the hard lesson of discriminating other people's other motives and intentions. The fact of this being carried over into Obama's chart by that Lucifer right on Obama's 7th house Pluto is quite amazing!
The sn of Lucifer further emphasizes these dynamics as it points to self doubt relative to his life's purpose. And thus the temptation for this soul to feel inadequate, not prepared, not worthy and ready to do the work he is here to do. The influence of other people (natal Lucifer in 7th, Virgo) would catalyze that pre-existing dynamic of self doubt within this soul. It's relevant to note as well that the 6th house itself is ruled by the Moon which is in Capricorn in the 11th house: an ego structure in that life linked to radicalizing society, and yet that Moon was in an early square to the nodes: a skipped step symbolizing groups of people (11th house) that attempted to thwart Lincon's plan by lying and using all kinds attacks on Lincoln's vision (such as Greely's article he wrote against Lincoln's politics when Lincoln did not yet free the slaves). The intention for the soul of Lincoln was to establish a new national identity (Cap Moon in 11th) through the future oriented vision he was here to offer to the world, and by cutting away old beliefs about a certain culture of people: the black slaves in america (all squaring 9th house Scorpio nn). Given that this nn is ruled by Pluto, this brings us back to the opposition with natal Lucifer.
The intention for this soul has been to bear the light of truth regardless of the kind of opposition from others and the self doubt created from that opposition.
To focus specifically on how the archetype of the bearer of light manifested, it's first and foremost expressed by way of the north node of his Lucifer which is conjunct his natal Sun and the ruler of his sn. The nn of Lucifer is conjunct Chiron in the 12th which is also on the sn of Neptune. This correlates to a soul who coming into this life has already strongly developed the consciousness of bringing higher awareness of God, of higher truth into this world: the ruler of his Lucifer sn is conjunct the nn of Lucifer, signifying a dynamic within this soul that is being replayed in the current life. The intention in the life of Lincoln was to stay focused on the 1st house Sun without falling back into the self doubt of the sn in the 6th that it rules. In so doing, this soul was channeling forth and, through the brightness of his own being that was actualized and expressed in the world on a moment to moment basis of continual action - Sun first house - he was exemplifying a path that is linked to the principals of inclusiveness and sharing (Aquarius) and also bore the light by remaining detached and non reactive, not taking personally the attracts and projections, and mind control games (Aquarius, Chiron in 12th squaring the nodes) of others who sought to manipulate and usurp the divine path Lincoln was on.
He bore the light by staying simply staying on his path and remaining devoted to being a poster child for what it's like to hold strong to one's core purpose - Aquarius, fixed energy linked to social change, linked to the bearer of light of Lucifer. Keeping his mind above the bs of others, and staying focused on his purpose is how this archetype expressed.
Relating all of this back to the position of natal Lucifer itself, Retrograde in Virgo in the 6th, noting that Lucifer forms a T square with Neptune, Saturn and Mercury, it all translates to skillfully working with his words and the careful execution of his spiritual vision via the current structures of time and space and to refine, develop his ability to communicate to and meet the needs of all other kinds of people at the same time. So the evolutionary theme for this soul, which he did in fact achieve to a great extent, was to simultaneously listen to all kinds of people and their perspectives, but also to stay completely devoted, connected to his purpose.
The Moon and Chiron in Aquarius skipped step implies where there had been great disillusionment around humanity in general in the past and that this is something that this soul has carried heavy with him - likely linking back even further to a time during which he himself had been exclusive and ascribed to beliefs that were limiting to various people. I am quite curious what this has related to within this soul. It seems with these signatures that the life of Lincoln itself was still not the first life where this soul had attempted such social change on a collective level.
Leaving the life of Lincoln, this soul has in fact carried forth the Lucifer archetype in an extremely powerful way. In Obamas chart it reflects both unresolved dynamics that are being brought forth from Lincoln: that which is not yet complete, as well as a very special and highly developed spiritual attunement and purpose that has been directly carried over into the life of Obama.
In Obamas chart the position of natal Lucifer is itself conjunct the sn of Lucifer in Leo in the 6th conjunct the DC, both Lucifer and its sn conjunct the north node of Neptune. This reflects back to Lincolns chart wherein the ruler of the sn of lucifer was conjunct the nn of Lucifer which itself was placed in his 12th house (like Neptune). All of the symbols in Lincolns chart in this regard and brilliantly, and even more strongly re-emphasized in Obamas chart.
The north node of Lucifer in Obamas chart is at 24 Aquarius and falls in his first house, conjunct his lunar south node! The playover of the Lucifer archetpye is incredibly emphasized within this soul with the strong sn associations. This sn is ruled by Uranus which is conjunct his own lunar north node. This is a symbol for a dynamic that existed within the life of Lincoln (one of liberation) that is now intensified and is meant to be developed even further. I will discuss the meaning of this further down.
Further basic observations regarding the connection of signatures between Lincoln and Obama:
Obama's Lucifer falls at 12 Leo in his 6th house on his Sun. It squares Neptune in Scorpio in the 9th and Ceres in Taurus in the 3rd. That Neptune is ruled by Pluto in Virgo in the 7th house and squares Jupiter in Aquarius in the 1st. Obama's Pluto is conjunct the natal position of Lincoln's Lucifer. Pluto is in opposition to Chiron which is the placement by house and sign of Lincoln's natal Pluto. That Chiron is ruled by Neptune and that Neptune is conjunct Lincoln's north node.
The archetype of the bearer of light has been playing out in the life of Obama by way of how this soul has come into this world with the intention to develop and improve his self actualization - implying that in this life he is reflecting heavily on what works and what doesn't work, and with the intention to improve and address any aspects of denial regarding his purpose that is latent from the past (Lucifer conjunct its sn in the 6th house symbolizing latent relive dynamics). This expresses by way of this soul becoming very discriminative regarding the nature of his purpose and how to work with highest integrity possible; to correct previously made mistakes.
On another level, the strong 6th house Lucifer emphasis for this soul implies that he is bearing the light in this life by creating work that truly brings greater light and consciousness into this world. Relative to the evolutionary theme of his Lucifer nn in Aquarius in the first, relative to the natal position of Lucifer in the 6th and linking the ruler of the north node: Uranus in the 7th with Pluto: it has translated to spearheading social reform programs such as improved healthcare systems (6th house) that is relevent and applicable to all kinds of groups and social divisions in the country (7th house Uranus). He is also quite happy to call this health care reform "Obama care" (Leo).
(Note that both the nodes of Lucifer along with the Sun and Lucifer itself are squaring Ceres in Taurus in the 3rd along with Neptune in Scorpio in the 9th. This is important to point out as both Ceres and Vesta are squaring the nodal axis of the Moon. They are in the third house and are integrated through the lunar north node which is conjunct the nn of Lucifer, also squaring those asteroids. This third house skipped step theme here is also a repeat of the Gemini Moon squaring the nodes. I would like to spend more time reflecting on the actual correlations of these signatures within the soul of Obama and offer further interpretation.)
The north node of Lucifer being on the lunar south node correlates to a very well developed dynamic that is being brought forth from the past and karmicly needing to be played out once again. This south node being ruled by Uranus which is with the north node implies the direct theme here of initiating actions that will affect liberation and greater equality for all kinds of groups. The north node of Neptune involved with all those first house signatures is quite literally signifying an intention from a higher source for this soul to bring greater light into this world through persistent,objective and detached action. One way this soul bears light would also be through his ability to not care what other people think - simple things like that serve as great examples of the God consciousness of giving and sharing: how to listen with true consideration (7th house linkage) and at the same time to stand strong on one's own path without false or unnecessary compromise.
The marker for how this soul is to be a bearer of light ultimately comes down to following his own path. The correlations with Pluto being right on the Lucifer of Lincoln, and the immense confrontations and need to break through resistance implied within his own Pluto signature - conjunct Uranus, new phase with Mars in Virgo, also that it is conjunct the ruler of all that Aquarius and in opposition to Chiron, which is conjunct Lincoln's Pluto, implies that this soul is weeding out latent dynamics of self doubt that has otherwise blocked him from acting in the past. Ultimately this is all integrated through his own Sun which is right there conjunct Lucifer and its own SN: Reliving and rediscriminating how to actualize his purpose.
Thank you so much for this learning opportunity Rad. This is a deep blessing in my life.
God bless, with love,

Hi Rad and Group,
Thanks for sharing your deep knowledge, and for the opportunity of learning.
Some observations of the Bearer of Light in Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln's charts.
"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds" (Second Inaugural Address) (Lucifer in Virgo in 7th house opposite Pluto in Pisces square Saturn and Neptune in 9th house Sag, inconjunct Chiron in Aquarius; SN Lucifer in Leo in 6th house trine SN Uranus in 10th and conjunct Neptune NN; NN in Aquarius in 12th house conjunct Chiron, Sun and Pallas.)
SN Lucifer
in Leo in 6th house conjunct NN Neptune opposite Chiron in 12th house Aquarius that is conjunct SN Neptune, and gibbous inconjunct Pluto, reflects a former intention of creative self actualization in work as a way to serve and help humanity to actualize the Divine Plan of Union.
In Lincoln's life
Lucifer in Virgo
conjunct PPP manifested as the Bearer of Light by turning into reality the Soul's purpose of realizing its special destiny of finding an individual, original way of struggling to achieve social union according to Natural Law, and initiating a new social structure according to it. (Pluto in 1st house Pisces trine Uranus conjunct NN in 9th house, ruler Neptune in Sag in 9th house conjunct Saturn)
NN Lucifer
in 12th house Aquarius conjunct Chiron, Ascendant, Sun and Pallas, and trine Mars in 8th house Libra; ruled by Uranus in Scorpio in 9th house conjunct NN, suggests that this new social structure pointed to liberation from imprisonment in social exclusion (slavery), healing the wounds of difference, of being a foreigner , an outsider (Chiron square
Resolution NN conjunct NN Chiron in 9th house), and recovering the former union between people and with God/ess existing in matriarchal times aligned with N.L. (conjunction Chiron conjunct SN Neptune in Aquarius ruled by Uranus in 9th house).
He was a leader who always accepted observations and critics, but was not afraid of following his own instinct when he judged convenient (Lucifer in Virgo in 7th house, ruler Mercury in Pisces balsamic conjunction Pluto in 1st house), and able to accept praise and trust with humility. (SN Lucifer in Leo in 6th house conjunct NN Neptune opposite Chiron in 12th house Aquarius that is conjunct SN Neptune and gibbous inconjunct Pluto).
This humility is also present in the Gettysburg Address: "But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate… we cannot consecrate… we cannot hallow… this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here."
However, his select words were never forgotten, despite its succinctness.
God's consciousness through Lucifer in Virgo in 7th house provided discrimination and understanding of other's needs as well as the differences between people and acceptation of them, together with a capacity to identify the people's qualities and possibilities. That's why he choose his collaborators according to personal conditions and responsibility, without looking at their party. (ARREGLAR)
He avoided quarrels or suits without listening all the parts involved, without considering all perspectives and causes. (Lucifer in 7th house sextile Uranus in 9th house Scorpio inconjunct Venus that is ruled by Mars in Libra in 8th house.)
Slavery abolition is perhaps what best reflects God's consciousness manifesting through this Soul.
Although he felt that Afro Americans were not equal to whites, he believed the American founders intended that all men were created with certain inalienable rights. (Lucifer in 7h house square Saturn in Sag in 9th house conjunct Neptune)
However, abolition had also pragmatic reasons, he saw slavery not so much as a moral wrong but as an impediment to economic development, to industrial development and a way to not more providing cotton to English industry, thus empowering the nation and furthering independence from England. (Lucifer sextile Uranus in 9th house Scorpio, NN Lucifer in Aquarius conjunct Sun, trine Mars in 8th house).
Notwithstanding, slavery was abolished, and he was considered a conqueror hero by liberated slaves: "I know I am free, because I have seen Father Abraham's face and I felt it."
And God's consciousness acted through Lucifer in Virgo with NN in 12th house Aquarius conjunct Chiron and Sun conjunct Pallas in 1st house, by means of a prudent and strategic program initiated in 1861 and a definitive proclamation in 1863 (before England could influence on the acknowledgment).
He also made a public announcement of his support to African people's right to vote in Louisiana (Lucifer in 7th house in T-square with Mercury in 1st house Pisces conjunct Mercury NN and Saturn conjunct Neptune in 9t house Sag).
Lincoln never let the world forget that the Civil War involved an even larger issue. (Lucifer in 7h house opposite Pluto in Pisces in 1st house, NN in Aquarius in 12th house, SN in 6th house Leo conjunct Neptune NN) This he stated most movingly in dedicating the military cemetery at Gettysburg: "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Rad, I have a question: I have no reliable historical sources, and I am not sure about the motivations of his statements about the physical differences between races would made impossible living together in social and political equality and that "as any other man I am in favor of a superior position for white race" (My English version of a quote).
Looking at the chart and considering what he actually did, I believe it was a strategy in order to not generate more opposition given the epoch conditioning of the consensus. But with Moon in Cap conjunct SN Saturn and Pluto in 11th house, ruled by Saturn in 9th house square Mercury that is conjunct Pluto, I wonder if it was not his own conditioning, although not what his Soul intended.
Was abolition only a mean to achieving Union in his conscious intention, was it actually a mean to him?
What I really wonder is: If he really believed in inequality and white superiority, did the Soul choose to return as Barack Obama with Pluto in 7th house (in Lucifer's exact degree) conjunct Uranus, ruler of Lincoln's Sun and Lucifer NN and Obama's SN in order to relive that issue, experiencing inequality, "on the other side"? .
The Soul returned as Barack Obama with Pluto in the same degree of Lincoln's Lucifer, picking up the Bearer of Light as itself, as its background.
And Pluto is conjunct NN that is in Leo conjunct Uranus affirming the purpose here, and emphasizing creative self actualization of the "other", the different, of what is out of the consensus majority.
The Bearer of Light in 13º Leo, conjunct Uranus and Sun stands as a bridge between them, between past, present and future. (Lucifer conjunct the ruler of SN that is conjunct Lincoln's Sun and Neptune NN, conjunct Obama's Sun and Neptune NN; Obama's SN is conjunct his Lucifer NN).
SN of Lucifer
are conjunct, they are picking up the same source, which is SN Lucifer conjunct NN Neptune in Lincoln.
Obama's SN is conjunct Lucifer NN, and its ruler is conjunct SN Lucifer, another hint of reliving an resuming the Bearer of Light's intention, now in conjunction with Sun that is also the NN ruler and NN of Neptune.: the Soul is now integrating its purpose of service to liberation and Union in free self actualization of all members of society.
It is really wonderful to see God's delineation of Its own path through a Soul, one of His sparks.
LUCIFER IN LEO CONJUNCT NN Neptune in 6th house in 1st Spiritual
God's consciousness guides the Soul to knowledge, direct internal knowledge, of its uniqueness and singularity, and to union with other singularities in something larger that includes it and is immanent. Humility is necessary and is being developed. It manifested as service to society helping to create conditions of work in order to self actualizing, and promoting health care.
Lucifer square Neptune in 9th house (conjunct Lincoln's NN, Uranus, and NN Chiron)that is in a GT to Venus in Cancer in 5th house and Chiron in Pisces points to that also and reflects that it is part of the individual's belief system produced by a crisis in consciousness leading to see himself in relation to the All, and that God is intending to transform the societal belief system and consciousness through this Soul. However, he must face crisis and conflicts created by the conservative forces of current society's opposition, some of them rooted in the past (Neptune quintile Uranus that is inconjunct Saturn RX, Saturn gibbous sesquiquadrate Pluto, MH ruler. Saturn conjunct SN Saturn and Pluto, and Lincoln's Moon)
in Aquarius in 1st house conjunct SN reflects the Soul's purpose of developing a free individuality, free from societal and racial conditionings, able to affirm itself in the world with its singularity and uniqueness and able to lead and help others to liberate as well.
As SN in turn is conjunct Chiron in Pisces, the Bearer of Light is promoting healing of past traumas in the individuated unconsciousness as well as in the collective and racial unconsciousness and consciousness and a way out of exclusion and loss by means of a renewed self-relation, self worth , self image and consequent self-realization as God's creatures (Uranus SN ruler, SN Chiron conjunct Lincoln's SN, NN Chiron conjunct Lincoln's Mars in 8th house; Chiron conjunct Persephone, Ceres in Taurus ruled by Venus in 5th house in GT with Chiron and Neptune in 9th house Scorpio).
The Bearer of Light is pointing toward a humble and detached individuality that perceives himself and others as souls and sees himself as "instrumental", as a medium through which God's Love and healing flows to Humanity.
NN of Lucifer conjunct the Resolution Node of Moon's skipped steps and Chiron, that is conjunct Lincoln's Sun and NN of Lucifer and SN Neptune reflects the continuity of God's intention through this Soul of liberating people of all forms of conditioning and exclusion.
Equality and inclusion in freedom is what this Soul is and has been seeking and promoting; ability to achieve it for himself and others, following its own objective intuition with ever increasing compassion is its direction and goal.
Rad, aware of the privilege and blessing of having your attention and teaching, with gratitude. . . God Bless.

Hi Gonzalo, Ari, Mirta,
Thanks for making the effort and sharing your EA analysis's of the 'bearer of Light' in Obama's/ Lincoln's charts. I will wait a couple more days for others in our group to do so as well before commenting on your work. For those who are still planning on doing this analysis please let me know.

Hi Rad and Group,
My thoughts are not yet all together in written form for this assignment, please proceed and I will post when I am able. My apologies if I've been holding things up unnecessarily. I'm finding such joy in examining these beautiful souls and the massive influence of light radiating from them. Thank you. Heather

Hi Gonzalo,
You have made a brilliant EA analysis of the 'bearer of Light', Lucifer, in both the charts of Lincoln and Obama. You have provided an exceptional cross referencing between their charts in such a way as to demonstrate how the impulse of the 'bearer of Light' has been carried over from Lincoln to Obama. Within this you have done the necessary research of their lives including the quotes you have utilized from the life of Lincoln to do so that correctly reflect the analysis you have made.
Your EA reasoning of the various symbols you have used in that reasoning is simply exceptional. For all Souls who are interested in EA in general, and within the thread that application of Lucifer as the 'bearer of Light", I would recommend that you read carefully and deeply Gonzalo's work here. This is how EA is meant to be used and done in order to understand the nature of any given Soul.
God Bless, Rad

Hi Ari,
This is simply a brilliant EA analysis of the 'bearer of Light' between the charts of Lincoln and Obama. The linkages by way of aspects to the various Lucifer symbols, S/N Nodes, placement of their rulers, aspects to them that go back and forth between the two charts is just exceptional EA work. You have demonstrated a great understanding of the 'bearer of Light' as it applies to the Soul that has manifested both as Lincoln and Obama. Here is one of the statements within your analysis that goes right to the core of it all:
"The intention for this soul has been to bear the light of truth regardless of the kind of opposition from others and the self doubt created from that opposition."
This is exceptional EA work Ari, this is how it is meant to be done. For all others interested in EA in general, and the application of the Lucifer symbol specifically, please read carefully and thoughtfully this EA analysis by Ari.
God Bless, Rad

Hi Mirta,
Your EA analysis of both Obama and Lincoln, and the bridge between these lives relative to being the same Soul, is exceptional and accurate work. You asked this questions:
"Rad, I have a question: I have no reliable historical sources, and I am not sure about the motivations of his statements about the physical differences between races would made impossible living together in social and political equality and that "as any other man I am in favor of a superior position for white race" (My English version of a quote).
Looking at the chart and considering what he actually did, I believe it was a strategy in order to not generate more opposition given the epoch conditioning of the consensus. But with Moon in Cap conjunct SN Saturn and Pluto in 11th house, ruled by Saturn in 9th house square Mercury that is conjunct Pluto, I wonder if it was not his own conditioning, although not what his Soul intended.
Was abolition only a mean to achieving Union in his conscious intention, was it actually a mean to him?
What I really wonder is: If he really believed in inequality and white superiority, did the Soul choose to return as Barack Obama with Pluto in 7th house (in Lucifer's exact degree) conjunct Uranus, ruler of Lincoln's Sun and Lucifer NN and Obama's SN in order to relive that issue, experiencing inequality, "on the other side"? ."
This a tremendous question to ask, and important to understand. In reality Lincoln's total commitment was to preserve the union at all costs, the union of the United States. Thus, he did all that he could to that end. His inner and personal attitude of the African-Americans was stated in the very quote that you have brought up. And that, indeed, is accurate. And, yes, this attitude was very much influenced by the social conditioning of that time. Yet, as stated in the U.S. Constitution 'all men are created equal'. Thus, Lincoln's Lucifer in Virgo in his 7th House directly opposed his first house Pluto in Pisces. This is then reflected through Obama relative to Obama's Pluto being in his 7th, and exact to Lincoln's Lucifer. Equality as an archetype of course is Libra, and the 7th House.
Virgo is also an archetype of 'persecution'. We can see the archetype of persecution reflected in the archetype of Virgo, the 6th House in all the different ways that it is in both Obama's and Lincoln's birth charts. Inferiority and superiority also manifest, as archetypes, in these symbols. So one the one hand Lincoln did all that he could to sustain the union of the United States by way of the principle that 'all men are created equal'. One the other hand Lincoln did have his own personal opinion and attitude towards the African-Americans that reflects the 'superiority' of the White or Caucasian race versus the 'inferiority' of the African American race.
We need to remember too that the Soul of Lincoln / Obama also manifested as Charles Lindbergh who for a time glorified the Aryan race while persecuting the Jewish race at the same time during WW2. Towards the end of that life he did totally change that attitude wherein 'all men are created equal'.
So this Soul manifesting as Obama choose to be born as half Caucasian, and half African-American. On the one hand we can now see the karma created through the attitude and belief that the Caucasian race, or Aryan's, are superior to all other races that then dictated being born as half African-American: to experience the 'persecution' by the Caucasian's towards him as an African-American. On the other hand, we can see that this Soul also wanted to be born this way so as to demonstrate the inherent equality of all races, that 'all men are created equal'.
So the Lucifer archetype as the 'bearer of Light' for the Soul of Obama, Lincoln, and Lindbergh lead to the evolution within that Soul that indeed all men are created equal: to live it, not just 'believe' it.
Your EA work was exceptional Mirta. This is how it is meant to be done. For all those interested in EA in general, and the archetype of Lucifer specifically, please read deeply and carefully this work from Mirta.
God Bless, Rad

For all the good you can say about the third-generation Camaro (great suspension, good looks, cheap and affordable to build) there are some negatives you can mention too (interior flaws, smog equipment restrictions, lack of a 350/manual trans option from the factory). Another is the exhaust. Because of the third-gen's odd floor and front subframe/unibody design, installing a true dual exhaust on these cars is near impossible, and even installing a single pipe exhaust can be difficult.
After installing the GM Performance Parts 350 crate engine in our '92 RS, we needed to do some exhaust work so our new small-block wouldn't be choked down by the 305-spec exhaust. But what to do?
Fortunately for third-gen owners, there's a place where you can find the love and attention you desire when it comes to parts and accessories. Hawks Third Gen Parts (www.hawksthirdgenparts.com) specializes in new, used, performance, and aftermarket parts for 1982-2002 F-bodies. Based in Easley, South Carolina, the Hawks website is packed full of great stuff for third-gen owners.
Since we want our '92 to keep its mundane, sedate RS appearance, we decided to go with the Stainless Works single-pipe kit. While the kit did require some modifications and tweaks to fit our '92 (it's specifically designed for fourth-gen cars with LS7s installed), it wasn't that difficult to adapt to our car. If you want a true bolt-in exhaust, either full or cat-back, Hawks has two dozen different exhaust kits listed on its website. It even has an old-school chambered exhaust system made by GMMG that sounds wicked (our neighbors at GM High-Tech have it installed on one of their fourth-gens).
Follow along as we get our exhaust installed and point out some of the things you have to deal with when working on these cars.

The controversy over Chael Sonnen steroids use has been a popular topic of discussion.
He is an American MMA fighter who was dubbed "The American Gangster".
Nedavno, he failed a drug test ordered by the Nevada State Athletic Commision before his highly anticipated match against Vitor Belfort scheduled to happen at UFC 175.
The drug test showed a positive result for hCG or CHorionic gonadotrophin, EPO recombinant human erythropoietin, and HGH or human growth hormone.
After his positive drug result, he opted to retire from MMA.
Many were sympathetic to his positive test result due to the recent ban on TRT, but the other steroids found in his system have long been banned from professional MMA.
Ipak, the recent positive drug test was a career killer for the highly respected athlete.Kupiti pravni steroidi online ovdje.
Tablica sadržaja
The particular steroids in question were used for a variety of results. The EPO is used to create red blood cells, koji, u red, is used to improve a person's stamina.
This increase in stamina results in greater cardio performance and overall athletic endurance.
This particular drug is tied to sports professionals such as Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi, who were both caught testing positive for their drugs during their baseball careers.
Other PEDs that were detected in Cheal's system by the drug screening were clomiphene (Clomid) and anastrozole (Arimidex).
These steroids are used to help block estrogen and are helpful in boosting a man's natural testosterone.
Clomiphene blocks estrogen at the pituitary gland and ultimately stimulates the productions of luteinizing hormone or LH, which then creates an increase in the production of testosterone in the testis.
Clomiphene is a way for the body to increase testosterone in the blood and in the testis simultaneously.
Anastrozole was originally developed and used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women, but it can be used to help benefit athletes who wish to improve their athletic abilities.
It is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that reduces the body's production of estrogen. U muškaraca, it has been used to treat male breast cancer, as well as an effective fertility drug that helps maintain healthy levels of sperm.
Chael Sonnen is not the first UFC champion to be suspended for these drugs.
U posljednjih nekoliko godina, the UFC has really cracked down on steroid use, and is apt to test fighters if they have any inclination that they may have performed outside of their natural abilities.
Chael was tested after his fight with Anderson Silva, in which he had almost beaten his undefeated opponent until he was submitted in the last two minutes of the final round.
The normal T/E levels expected for an MMA fighter are 4:1. His levels were 16:9:1 which was an indicator that he had indeed been taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Following his suspension, Chael Sonnen gave several interviews about his performance-enhancing drug use.
He claimed that some of the testosterone was prescribed legally by his physician and didn't feel as if he had tried to cheat. He says that the testosterone boosters help him recover and train more effectively at his age.
While not all steroids and performance-enhancing drugs are actually illegal, Oni su, zapravo, banned by most professional sports including MMA.
As time goes on, the list of banned substances grows to include many of the performance enhancing drugs that are currently legal and serve a medical purpose.
Chael Sonnen appealed his suspension siting that he had a condition called hypogonadism, which prevents the testis from producing the proper amount of testosterone, and that his doctor had prescribed testosterone replacement therapy to combat the condition.
Although he had a legitimate argument for testing positive for some of the substances in his system, he could not explain some of the substances found in his system that had been banned for quite some time.
He had known that the substances were illegal, so the California State Athletic Commission upheld his suspension in light of the evidence that was presented.
There is quite a bit of debate as to which substances should, and should not be allowed in MMA currently.
Although many may contest his suspension, it is still a rule that professional MMA fighters may not use any of the five substances found in Chael's positive drug test.
Chael Sonnen had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs not once, but twice throughout his career.
His first positive drug test occurred in 2004, and his opponent tested positive as well. The fight was then canceled. The second positive test was in 2014.
With the level of popularity that MMA has created, the playing field has become more competitive. More and more substances are being banned and tested for more regularly.
Postoje, Međutim, legal options for athletes who wish to perform better in their chosen professions without breaking any laws or rules.
Chael Sonnen steroids controversy is still debated and is just one of many professional athletes who have tested positive in the last few decades.
There is always pressure to be better than the next person, but that also can come at a huge cost.IFBB Pro Bodybuilders i steroidiBolo YeungChael SonnenČul uskoroNije Arnold Schwarzenegger korištenje steroidaDorian YatesElliot HulseFrank ZaneGreg PlittJay CutlerJeff SeidKai GreeneKali mišićaKevin LevroneLou Ferrigno steroidiMatt OgusPhil HeathRich PianaRobbie bogatstvoRonnie ColemanSteve CookZyzz

You send it back to FS for the warranty.
If it is flat on it's back, you simply pull the middle line and it will launch, if it is flat on it's front you pull both brake lines and it will reverse launch, letting go of one line sends it to the side, if you have a look at the vid's on the FS website it really is exactly as simple and as easy as that. The valves slow down the water intake so it is not common to find them sinking, have you heard of many cases?
If the LE is down on the water you can either reverse launch as above or just pull one brake line and it will turn while still on the water... if the TE is down on the water(after you pull the safety) put the safety pin back back, hook in, depower, and off you go. It has a drain system so even if it takes some water on, it will drain quickely.
You say foils cost more but how many LEI's do you buy, 3? or 4? perhaps, 2 foils are good for wide range, with the speed you can problably get away with 1 kite in coastal area's where the wind is generally better. Still as a long term foils are okay, the initial cost is there, once you bought the first set you are okay, you get reasonable resell value out of them, although I think as they become more popular the resell will drop a little. So the next upgrade is on par with cheaper LEI's.
Thanks for a good honest answer.

Marvel Animation Studios is teaming up the Hulk and Iron Man for its debut feature, Iron Man and Hulk: Heroes United. A blend of computer-generated and hand-drawn animation, the film will feature the heroes battling Zzzax, an abomination formed of pure energy with the ability to absorb human minds. Adrian Pasdar (Heroes) will voice Tony Stark/Iron Man, Fred Tatasciore (Ultimate Spider-Man) voices Bruce Banner/Hulk and Dee Bradley Baker (American Dad) will voice the villainous Zzzax. Marvel's executive vice president of television, Jeph Loeb, is overseeing the project.
Iron Man and Hulk: Heroes United will debut on home video April 23rd. Hit the jump to check out the first images and to see what Loeb had to say about the film and future projects.
The plans for Iron Man and Hulk: Heroes United were revealed recently to EW, along with the first images from the upcoming animated feature. Zzzax, a villain familiar to Hulk fans, will be the main antagonist in the film. Loeb talks about his presence in the plot as follows:
"We see his origin in the movie. It's what would happen if the entire Eastern seaboard [electrical grid] went out. The two heroes meet up, thinking of each other as to blame. Calamity ensues."
Though Stark and Banner were seen riding off into the sunset at the end of The Avengers, this animated film is not necessarily a direct sequel. As Loeb puts it:
"We welcome people to interpret any way they like. In tone and character, we want to follow our best leader."
Heroes United changes up the vocal talent for Iron Man and Hulk, but film tried to capitalize on the relationship that Robert Downey Jr and Mark Ruffalo formed on screen:
"The challenge was to pick up the banter between the two of them. Certainly, Adrian Pasdar's performance is inspired by what Robert Downey Jr. does, and Mark laid down such an incredible path for us to be able to follow," Loeb says. "You'll see in Heroes United that Hulk's a little more articulate."
Finally, Loeb talks about the possible future for more of Marvel Animation's feature films:
"It's our hope that we will start doing more feature-length direct to Blu-ray and DVD stories. They'll more than likely be in team-up situations. We find it works really well when we have big exciting adventures with two or more of our heroes."

The condo development company that purchased East Vancouver's Waldorf Hotel says it has "no intention of demolishing the Waldorf Hotel."
A press release issued Thursday afternoon by Solterra Group states, "we want to work with the City to explore possible ways to retain and improve the hotel."
Gerry Nichele, CEO of Solterra Group, is quoted in the release, saying, "it will be a while before we take possession of the property and right now the Puharich family is still responsible for the ongoing operations of the hotel. We have an open mind about the future of this site and we are studying all the options."
The press release indicates that "over the past 24 hours there has been a considerable amount of discussion and speculation in the media and public about the future plans for property" and that Solterra Group "appreciates" this interest.
Following a press release, issued by current leaseholders Waldorf Productions, about the sale on Wednesday, social media users posted hundreds of comments on the developer's Facebook wall. There has also been considerable interest in the media and on other social networks as to the fate of the 65-year-old East Vancouver landmark.
Waldorf Productions will continue to run events at the hotel until Jan. 19. Gavin Crickmore, lawyer for Waldorf owner Marko Puharich, has said that the hotel will stay open.

Learning Index >> The Life and Work of Bernard Leach
At this point David, who had worked at the Pottery for twenty-five years and had shaped it into a workable, well-run production unit, left to set up his own pottery at Lowerdown Cross, Devon, and Janet took over the running of the workshop. In 1956 Leach was nearly seventy, and though still fit and well, felt that it was beyond his capabilities. Leach concentrated on making individual pots, and some of his strongest pieces were made at this time. While he would make the smaller pieces, he worked with his son David or later Bill Marshall on the larger pieces, though Leach would always finish and decorate them.
Of the pots made at this time, all well represented in the Crafts Study Centre, Leach subtly combines a deep understanding of form with a sensitivity to decoration on shapes that are strong rather than brash, and confident without being excessive. While looking to the East, the pots have a soft, European sensibility that treads a middle line between the two cultures.

You know you're having some problems hearing. Your friends and family members seem to point out what you're missing or how often they have to repeat information every day now. But are you aware of exactly how that might be impacting you on a daily basis?
Untreated hearing loss can have serious emotional and social consequences.
A study conducted by the Seniors Research Group, an alliance between the National Council on Aging (NCOA) and Market Strategies, Inc. "debunked the myth that untreated hearing loss…is a harmless condition."
The survey of 2,300 hearing impaired adults age 50 and older found that those with untreated hearing loss were more likely to report depression, anxiety, and paranoia and were less likely to participate in organized social activities, compared to those who wear hearing aids.
The study also found that significantly more of the seniors with untreated hearing loss reported feelings of sadness or depression that lasted two or more weeks during the previous years. Because social isolation is a serious problem for some older people, the study also examined social behavior and found that people who don't use hearing aids are considerably less likely to participate in social activities. Among respondents with more severe hearing loss, 42 percent of hearing aid users participate regularly in social activities compared to just 32 percent of non-users.
In 2011, a study done by Dr. Frank Lin and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins University found a strong link between degree of hearing loss and risk of developing dementia. Individuals with mild hearing loss were twice as likely to develop dementia as those with normal hearing, those with moderate hearing loss were three times more likely, and those with severe hearing loss had five times the risk.
The National Council on Aging study referenced earlier also found that when people began to use hearing aids, many reported improvements in their lives in the following areas:
- Relations at home
- Feelings about self
- Relations with children and grandchildren
- Mental health
- Self-confidence
- Sense of safety
- Social life
- Relationships at work
The hearing aid users family members were also surveyed. The family members of the hearing aid user also reported noticeable improvements in the same areas but to an even greater extent than was reported by the actual hearing aid user!
If you know you're having a problem hearing maybe there's more reasons that you realized to do something about it today.

Multi-session renders CD non-bootable
Well this looks like a really great system with so much potential. I am happy to trial it.
I am intrigued with the multi-sessional capability as I had never managed to get this going myself.
I burnt the iso to a CD yesterday and successfully started the system.
I used the text editor, had a problem using Mozilla so I looked into the network gui and changed a setting to DHCP (we have an internal docking system for laptops)(this is tested on a laptop) and after connecting through Mozilla downloaded some text and exited and saved.
However, today I cannot start. It is sporadic and seemed to search for a DHCP feedback displaying the name of my network card but then stopped. I pulled out the network cable and tried again.
I have tried several times but the computer will not see the CD as a bootable CD now. It slips straight into GRUB and loads my Fedora.
I believe the network problem is a separate issue. I am not sure if I did anything incorrectly yesterday.
The system is a Toshiba Satellite running with Fedora Core 3 and a DVD/CD rewriter.
Will you be kind enough to advise me what to try. I will burn a new disk but you may have some tips first. Yes, I pressed '5' at the boot prompt in the first sequence.
I am happy to help with coding or scripting. I might prefer to see a 'standard version' and a BIG version for daily use, that is to say I do feel a need for perl and python, for netcat and gcc but you showed your colours when you chose Tcl . That's the mark of a professional. Congratulations.
Best regards from the UK

Hi, I can't suggest anything from the description that you have given.
You will have to keep experimenting, if you want to persist with the multisession.

Is it possible to use the system as a start up (say to record data to the hard drive) then later to start with a session '5' to instruct it to use a multi-session? If so it might be possible to track the error. That is it might have been a 'hang' caused by my DHCP change as clearly there is no report from other users of a problem such as this.
I really do like the system with multi-session (as with the use of ndiswrapper) it is a unique feature which I would be happy to assist with resolving.
Many thanks

As you mentioned in your first post, I suspect that your network issue is a separate issue from the CD not booting. I'm confused as to what you're saying, though...did you ever get it to boot after the first time? My laptop has a problem that it will boot the multisession CD just fine the first time, but as soon as I attempt to reboot (that is, as soon as a second track has been written to the CD), the laptop cannot boot the cd. My main computer (a bit more up to date) will boot the same CD just fine.
So, maybe it's a hardware issue. Can you test the CD on a different (preferably much newer) computer?

Post subject: multi-session rebooting issues
Dear ND
Thank you for your reply and information. I am intrigued and I will spend a little time on it today.
We will leave the network issue as this is problematic even with a standard CD ie non multi-sessional. Maybe just be getting used to the software flags.
Regarding the multi-session it seems that the writing to the CD renders it non-bootable. A flag is reset or deleted. I have a fairly new laptop. I will try it on my server here at home today though. If I can I will look at the scripts assuming these are not compiled. I have no source for this distribution. If you know where it is on the download site I would appreciate a nod. It will help to track the sequence.
We will get there. It will be worth it as this option is a good feature.
Many thanks

Post subject: Multisession CD progress report
I spent the morning looking at this multisession problem.
The scripts, from what I can see, are as expected excellent and comprehensive. The sysinit is clearly the result of a lot of work.
I couldn't find the closing script which activates a cdrecord to store the data back to the CD (prior to logging off) but I guess it is well tested also.
I turned to the suggestion by ND that it might be hardware related. Indeed, I was surprised that the 'faulty' CD worked quite well in my main machine. Of course the mouse did not function (usb for my laptop but ps/2 on the bigger machine) but killing the X Window revealed a little instruction to delete a file and the matter was soon resolved. Yes, I was impressed! [On a laptop what is a touchpad in Linux anyway, is it a ps/2?].
However, what was interesting on startup was that many hdc (I/O) errors were reported. This suggested that indeed the laptop CD writer (a Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2212) had not written the data correctly after the first session, or perhaps even had not created the multisessional disk correctly in the first place. However, on the large machine a new test text file was correctly stored and after rebooting, successfully accessed again.
The multisession system CD containing PuppyLinux, (PL) was originally made using a program called X-CD-Roast. This permitted writing as a multisession but did not have the 'data' option available in the Gcombust program (bundled with PL). I will complete a follow through of the test now by using Gcombust (with the data option ticked) to create a multisession disk on my laptop again. If this is successful it might provide a positive outcome for others in the future. I do not know what this 'data' option does yet.
I cannot complete this further work until Monday. I am on a dial-up and drawing down a 60MB image will take too long.
Many thanks for your suggestions ND and Barry perhaps I can contribute a checklist for new users if we can resolve this.
I am encouraged to continue with it now.
Best regards

Good! Glad to known I could be of some help.
I'm excited to see if you make any progress on this, as I would love to run a multisession CD on my laptop. I have limited programming ability, but can test and explore any suggestions you might have, for troubleshooting's sake. Good luck!

Talking Back to First Assembly
On Christian common sense…
If you'll take a look over on the left column you'll see a blog titled "Selling God." It was all about First Assembly of God in Lufkin's car giveaway. Being me, I wrote a letter to the paper. Find the letter here:
(If the links don't work click the Contact Me link, let me know and I'll send you a copy.)
Of course, First Assembly being one of the two local Megachurches, there were more than a few people unhappy with my letter. Several letters appeared in the paper countering my unkind words.
Read the rest of this story on the update 042809.

About Ted
No, I am not from Bohemia. The generic definition of a bohemian applies to me:
A person, as an artist or writer, who lives and acts free of regard for conventional rules and practices.
Convention and I have never gotten along. We disagree with each other. I refuse to conform, to be a part of the crowd. I am not a sheep. People rarely understand me or who I am. I rarely understand people. Such is life.
There are people who write, as in make a living putting together words or just run off at the keyboard, and then there are writers. Writers are people driven to write, who even when they're not writing they are writing. This means that their head is buzzing and they're creating prose in their thoughts. Most true writers are bohemians and eccentrics. All the best were and are totally off the wall. They make no apologies and neither do I. I see no reason to do so.
On this space I simply do as most bloggers do and run off at the keyboard. (In person I often run off at the mouth. Aren't you lucky to be reading!) This blog has been around quite a while now, too, so there are older ramblings I might not even agree with any more. There are certainly things I have mellowed out on and do not send me over the hedge as they once did. I may not even stop by here very often. I'm not so good at juggling blogs.
May 17, 2011 – I am here today. I remain the seeker. If you're also a seeker, let's seek each others' company! firstname.lastname@example.com. Friends are the stars that populate our personal universe… your friendship will brighten up my sky!
Hi! I'm the Texas Bohemian!
… writer on occasion, thinker of thoughts, father and husband. This Trailerpark Scholar (aka me!) couldn't draw a happy face without a compass. His gift is with words, not pictures, though the power of words can draw pictures of worlds no pen could ever draw. His talent extends considerably past the proverbial pen, however. He's a Jack of All Trades, Master of None… well, only a few. He's pretty damn good at a lot of things!
If you are unable to resist the temptation to judge before considering all the facts and truth you will certainly jump to conclusions regarding whether or not I am good or bad, worthy or unworthy, friend or foe. Such is the danger one such as I face daily in a world where people make an art of snap judgments. Judge as you are prone to judge. It would be wise, however, to jump to no conclusions regarding my character over anything you read.
The person Ted Gresham is thus:
The person I perceive my self to be is an aging man exploring the meaning of life, discovering Truth, considering the words of great individuals including and especially The Buddha. This person is rough-edged, kind-hearted, pacifist, respectful and loving. This person lacks discipline. This person is outspoken and opinionated, struggles with judgmentalism though quick and eager to forgive. This person seeks only Truth. Nothing more, nothing less. This person appreciates beauty in a child's hug, a kind smile, a sunrise, a soft-spoken voice, the teachings of Gautama The Buddha.
I am an eccentric so defined: 'deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice, etc.; irregular; erratic; peculiar; odd' (dictionary.com). Not only in attitude, point of view or lifestyle do I fit this definition but in history as well.
Of course a bohemian is by definition also an eccentric but not all bohemians are the definition of eccentric from their youth nor are very many quite as eccentric as I am.
Without bragging I can say I have been a few places and done a few things. The partial list:
- Cashier / Clerk / gas station attendant
- Air Conditioning Mechanic
- Radio Announcer / Program Director
- Truck Driver
- Welfare Caseworker
- Data Entry Clerk
- Limmo Driver
- Rental Car Agent
- Condo Desk Clerk
- Construction worker
- …I forget what else
I've traveled through nearly a dozen states for fun, more than forty for work. I've lived in every part of Texas and spent time in Oklahoma, Arkansas and New Mexico. I've crossed the southern border on foot and traveled to Vancouver by air. And I've dreamed of and studied about places all around the globe.
In more than ten years of college on and off I've studied air conditioning / refrigeration, journalism, writing, history, political science, government, law, and counseling. I've attended two universities, two more junior colleges and two technical schools.
I've had countless letters printed in newspapers, written for online publications and used my writing skills in many jobs. I've made a few hundred bucks writing and written whole books that have paid nothing.
There's not a whole lot of things I cannot do but some things I am quite good at. I can build houses from the ground up, fix all kinds of things, do plumbing, electrical, maintenance, painting, framing. I have driven vans, trucks, busses, tractor-trailers and all kinds of cars. I can do and have done virtually anything done in an office short of being a doctor or lawyer, from data entry to clerical to interviewing and all that fun stuff.
I've been a crusader, a street preacher, a religious teacher, a music director, singer, religious broadcaster and religious writer. I've studied all major religions, a few minor ones, and Christianity from many different perspectives over many years. I've been a Baptist, Methodist and Pentecostal/Assembly of God. I have considered and reject a host of religious ideas and beliefs. I am at present an agnostic Buddhist and study Buddhism.
In all these years of working, learning and traveling the one thing I have learned is that I know almost nothing. I've forgotten more
than I learned. The answers I seek are answers nobody has. The Truth I follow is one few recognize and fewer care to apply to their life. In knowing all I know I know nothing. In seeing all I've seen, I've seen nothing. In understanding all I understand, I understand nothing.
Such is the path of true discovery.
Such is the story of my life.

An invitation from leadership coach Lee Chalmers FRSA enticed me to a very enjoyable launch event for an interesting research report by the Office for National Statistics and the Barrett Values Centre on the UK's national and community values - including the UK's very high - 59% - level of 'cultural entropy', a measure of dysfunctional values.
But it was the way the event really engaged its large audience at London's Conway Hall - a historic centre for free thinking - that particularly impressed me.
An exercise to decide on, and then discuss - in pairs - our own values, beliefs and behaviours did indeed seem able to 'help you meet someone more deeply, even if you've worked with them for ten years', as one audience member put it.
The exercise had three steps:
- Please choose three values that are important to you in your life
- What are your beliefs that support this value?
- What behaviours do you exhibit that support this value?
We were offered 70 suggested values to help us with the first question - everything from job security to wisdom.
What would a private detective think about your values if they followed you around for six months?
You can download the guidance page for the Values exercise - and use it to generate a revealing discussion at your own meeting or event. (A less cluttered version of the exercise sheet is here - though it offers fewer examples of values to choose from.)
The UK values report - 'cultural entropy' in the UK
The Office of National Statistics/Barrett Values Centre report itself revealed that UK citizens value meaningful, close relationships and operate with a strong sense of integrity. Top personal values included caring, family, honesty, humour and fun, friendship, fairness and compassion, as well as independence, respect and trust.
But, when asked about the values of the nation as a whole, a rather depressing picture of the UK's values emerged: bureaucracy, crime and violence, uncertainty about the future, corruption, blame, wasted resources, media influence, conflict/aggression, drugs/alcohol abuse and apathy.
'Cultural entropy' - a measure of the proportion of dysfunctional and negative values - was found to be 59% in the UK. Bhutan, by contrast, had a cultural entropy level of only 4%.
Some people will quite rightly point out that our espoused values can all too often tend to be rather more uplifting than the values we in fact exhibit in our day-to-day behaviour.
The audience was encouraged to look candidly at whether we are really living our values: 'what would a private detective think about your values if they followed you around for six months?'
(An automated values analysis of the texts of Matthew Taylor's Twenty-first century enlightenment pamphlet and the RSA's Purpose, Vision & Strategy is here. It uses a version of the 'Hall-Tonna values inventory', a precursor model to Richard Barrett's).
The current controversy over how best to work with values for effective behaviour change: two models at loggerheads
For me, the most intriguing - and crucial - argument around values at the moment is between Pat Dade's Maslow-based 'Values Modes' approach (articles and a free 'Values Modes' assessment are here) and the approach outlined in the WWF's 2010 report 'Common Cause - The Case for Working with our Cultural Values'.
They are both very influential amongst numerous organisations seeking behaviour changes towards more sustainable, environment-friendly behaviours - but each believes that the other approach contains a fundamental flaw which will derail its hopes to enable behaviour change.
Common Cause warn that the Maslow-based 'Values Modes' approach is wrong to encourage strategies which dress up eco-friendly actions so that they can also appeal to status-conscious - dare I say selfish? - 'Outer Directed' people. Rather than satiating that level of Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs' - and thus prompting people move to new more globally compassionate, caring needs - they will just strengthen the values of selfish consumerism, they argue.
Pat Dade, by contrast, warns that Common Cause's advocacy of deeper green language - that his research finds appeals particularly to a narrow subset of the population called 'Concerned Ethicals' - will just alienate many, perhaps even most of the UK population, who don't enjoy the feeling of being lectured in worthy-sounding Guardian-esque language, and rarely if ever change their behaviour as a result of it.
One attendee at the RSA's recent Social Entrepreneurs Network meeting - who had worked for a leading environmental communications agency Futerra Sustainability Commuications - told me that while her radical heart would love Common Cause to be right, for effective communication and behaviour change, she would always opt for Values Modes (which have in fact been used in recent work the RSA has done in conjunction with The Campaign Company).
