2014, day after day

[Piling]

Working for myself I often find I have to deal with idiots

Do you think that I never met any journalists ?

[Piling]

Here are a few of the major companies that got their starts in home garages: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mattel, Amazon, and Disney. Even if you're not in full support of their business practices, you've got to admit that their humble origins didn't limit their ability to become rich and powerful. As I meditate on the long-term astrological omens, I surmise you are now in a position to launch a project that could follow a similar arc. It would be more modest, of course. I don't foresee you ultimately becoming an international corporation worth billions of dollars. But the success would be bigger than I think you can imagine.

I love that horoscope. I just don't see at all what kind of business I could start, except preparing the next publishing of my novels.

I know what you could do - you SHOULD use your knowledge and powers of intuition to help bring comfort to others

You could charge fees as you would for any other form of consultancy

You should try it - build up slowly while keeping your day job - you will end up as a shaman in Kurdistan

[Anthea]

This is my lucky time

According to my projections, you are in a phase when luck is flowing stronger and deeper than usual. And I bet it will intensify in the coming weeks. I suggest you use it wisely -- which is to say, with flair and aplomb and generosity.

All of creation loves you very much. Even now, people you know and people you don't know are collaborating to make sure you have all you need to make your next smart move. But are you willing to start loving life back with an equal intensity? The adoration it offers you has not exactly been unrequited, but there is room for you to be more demonstrative.

All of creation loves you very much.

Humbling to say the least

I believe we are all given guidance at the time when it is needed most - I have an enormous decision to make - one that will be life changing

I have NEVER looked at my Horoscope before and never even believed in them - if anyone else had posted the link I would not have followed it

For the moment, I am only the convict writer of Kurdistan

It is good that someone actually tells the truth about the Kurds

I have to ask you about Murat Karayilan

I have always had a very strong feeling about him - want him to be in control of the PKK - because I feel so strongly that he is the right person - no control from Ocalan at all - I have always felt that is his destiny

What do you see for him?

[Piling]

If I ask He and the PKK I get 7. Army, not an easy hexagram, a situation of fight which needs to be cautious and determined. As he is the military commander of the PKK, it is a relevant hexagram.

2 phases :
1.
An army which moves has to do by follow the rhythm of the music
If not, disaster, even if the army is good.

= > Rule the people by their feelings
possible Fortune

Explanations : He needs to act only in following the right movement and rhythm of the situation, not before, not after, not too slowly, not too fast.
He can gain popularity among people if he uses the language of feeling and can touch them , not my force.

2.

To be among the army (to command it)
Fortune, no blame
The King, three times, gives him some titles of noblesse to award him

=> Walking in all directions
The horizon is free and open
All is advantageous even the unknown.

So at the end he could receive a title, a power, a mandate if he stays at his position (the military one)
Then the way will be opened after he got some recognition of his power.

General Climate : 24. The Return.

Favorable
No troubles for health
If friends come, it has no inconvenient
Returning to the origin is also the return of the Path
After 7 days, the one who went comes back
Action outside is favorable.

Perhaps he will return to his former situation before Cemil Bayik too his place, let's see what will happen/

Looks good to me

If Murat Karayilan returns to what he genuinely believes in - an Independent Northern Kurdistan - I believe Kurds will follow him

And if he uses the PKK's international support network he could probably free Kurdistan without another shot being fired

The danger is now the Kurds in Turkey do not have strong leadership and are unsure of themselves - they are dividing among themselves - I blame Ocalan and his let's love a Turk for the current problems inside the PKK

[Anthea]

I have a serious question:

What is the difference between the way the army of the Islamic State is taking over vast swathes of land - and the way in which Mohammed's army took over the lands and it's people ?

We know that both are said to have given people the options to convert of die - we also know that many thousands of Kurds were killed because they refused to convert

[Piling]

The armies of 'Umar (not Muhammad) and other caliphs did not exterminate all the populations they conquered. As their empire extended from Spain to India, how a bunch of Arabs could have massacred so many people ?

In a first time, they applied the pact of dhimmiya to Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians. They were inferior citizens but free to practice their religion. And as Jews and Christians lived already under another religion domination, they did not change their status. Or in former Byzance territories, Nestorians and other christian sects were relieved because of the persecutions of Orthodoxes (concerning different dogmas).

if you have a Sacred Book and a Prophet, you are one of the People of the Book, and then you should not be obliged to conversion. You pay a tax to be protected. So were Biblical religions, Zoroastrians…

Sabeans were more or less persecuted, but in fact, the real wars of religions concerned shiites and sunnites.

Muslim rulers had no interest at all to convert people because they paid taxes. When more and more populations bean to convert, Umayyads tried to dissuade them, because they need their taxes. So they invented some discriminations toward new converted Muslims (mawali) obliging them to pay taxes as non Muslims. So at the end all the Persian areas revolted and they brought Abbasid to the Caliphate.

There were strong war and some massacres in Maghreb, when Berbers revolted, or against Kurds when they refuse to obey to the Caliph, or against Zanj slaves in Southern Iraq but it was more some social, political, shiite revolts.

Generally, until the end of the Ottoman Empire, Islam was tolerant toward minorities, more than in Christianity. People converted for social, political benefits, and influenced by the dominant belief. Even in India, where Hindus are obviously polytheist, Islamic Turks did not impose conversion : they were realistic, and preferred to rule people and ask them money.

Until XXth century there was a huge Jewish and Christian population in Middle East. If Zoroastrians disappeared soon after Islamic conquest, it was because their religion was an institution depending on a class of priests, on a society of casts, on all a social structure that vanished with Islam. And Zoroastrism was the official religion of the Persian Empire, but not the religion of all the populations. Judaism and Christianity, for example were very important in Mesopotamia, as Manicheism.

I believe it was Muhammad himself who was the great exterminator and used similar fear tactics of fear to those used by the Islam State

People converted or agreed to abide my Muhammad's law as soon as he was known to be heading their way

[Anthea]

I am in SHOCK over the beheading in North London

This country is already becoming anti-Islamic - I sincerely hope that the evil perpetrator was not a Muslim

Muhammad fought in that sort against all his pagan relatives and people of Mecca, against Jews of Medina and later against Bedouins. But the big international extension of Islam out of Arabia began with 'Umar.
