If you are the type who is quite happy to just drift through Life, accepting willy-nilly whatever may drift ashore, then... bless you, this article is not for you. (nor should you let anyone distract you from your own choices)
...If you're like me, one who never stops asking questions (and upsets every preacher I've come across), or who is frankly disappointed with the sheep-like mentality of Common Man, or the simplistic answers offered by Politicians or those who clearly profit from public manipulation... then I've a few things I'd like to share with you.

The tale of Jonah's voyage of fleeing from, and then finding alignment with God's will, is an allegory of the human personality being unified with, and ultimately absorbed by, the Divine Self. The spiritual transformation that Jonah or the Soul experienced in the stomach of the whale is paralleled in the death and rebirth mysteries of numerous ancient religions. The Book of Jonah symbolically represents the human soul as it undergoes the spiritual regeneration described by Jesus as being" born again".

The Book of Matthew chapter 12 verse 40 compares the three days and nights Jonah spent inside the whale to the time Jesus remained in the tomb before his ascension.

The influential Full Moon (culmination) in airy, humanistic Aquarius July 31 sets the tone for the first days of August. Its Sabian Symbol message sheds light on where we may set our sights regarding our personal expansion. "Beautifully gowned wax figures on display; the inspiration one may derive from the appearance of Exemplars who present to us the archetypes of new cultures." We're all aware that technological innovators are constantly modifying and redefining how we live in this new information age. The implications and import of 'new cultures' must be considered as we determine what is of value and what clouds our vision causing us to be oblivious to it.
