When we are children we are often told our perceptions are "fantasy" and madness. Many of us are instructed to stifle this inner-authority. Some have been encouraged to suppress their own insights and to follow along like sheep. Others have been abused as children, having had their innocence stolen or exploited. Coupled with the need for validation, innocence is sometimes set-up for physical punishment, or demeaning verbal and sexual abuse. We continue to live in a world where children are seen as possessions and not human beings with developing brains and bodies. Time is speeding up; the children are changing, growing, thriving.

There is a Happy Land where divine protection and creative juice is stirred up within your innocence. Here, Ziggy Stardust... He is what is known as a Dharma Guardian or Dharma Guide, in Tibetan Buddhism a guardian who empowers another, one who helps another build a foundation of self, based on kindness. His songs speak to our innocence, guiding us back to the essence of the child-self.

This sensation of happiness and light
is stirred up within our integrity,
like the blinding rays of the sun;
like the flash of clarity
each of us has always known
from the time we were born.

Sunflowers are Ziggy's favorite flower. Sunflowers represent willpower and creative expression. A sunflower enables you to know the facts regarding any matter. A sunflower guards against astral pests. Pleiadian myths say flowers are seeds that come from the stars, their colors the colors of Heaven... Dragonflies carry us! Shape-shifting our consciousness, we ride them into the shamanistic dream time, become like them. They give us the ability fly through dreams as a little child, an elf, a faerie or a devic spirit... Pay attention to your dreams, my friend; pay attention to your friends! And pay attention to your hopes and your wishes: for these are the things that direct your life, and your ability to manifest your purpose! You are divinely protected. It is is up to you, from here, to get educated.

"I was determined that the music we were doing was the music for the Clockwork Orange generation; and I wanted to take the hardness and violence out of those Clockwork Orange outfits - the trousers tucked into big boots and the codpiece things - and soften them up by using the most ridiculous fabrics. It was a Dada thing..." - David Bowie; Q, May 1993
