Mercury has been retrograde since April 14th. Many times when Mercury was
retrograde, I noticed weird things happen with the computers at work bordering
on the supernatural.

Speaking of planetary conditions, the first Full Moon in Taurus (Wesak or
Buddha's birthday) was last Tuesday. My teacher told how Buddha and the Christ
work together at this time of year. Is there any theosophical writing on
Wesak? (I think Alice Bailey has written some).


"The world is frenzied with hatred
and torn with strife;
Its ways are crooked,
Of lust are its fetters.
O Great Soul, save them
Who long for thy re-birth.
Bring to them the deathless message,
And, nectar-filled,
Let the lotus of Love unfold its petals.
Serene, free,
Immeasurably holy and merciful,
Wipe away all stains from this earth."
