Freedom of Speech

Friends,
To MKR's notes below, I would add that HPB considered pure and simple electricity as referring to the lower levels of astral light.
It is clear to me now that Internet and its 'electronical universe' is dealing with human Akasha as a whole.
In the Aquarius Era, begun in 1900, things are "in the air". They are global. They can change quickly. Each individual can make a lot of difference, if he takes full responsibility for his decisions and actions.
Saturn, the Teacher of Time and Responsibility, is the co-regent for Aquarius; and it was its sole regent in ancient Astrology.
In these new times, freedom of speech is far more than a meaningless institutional motto -- for those who will pay the price.
Regards, Carlos.
