THE MEETING OF MINDS

The meeting of minds, in my opinion, is the bringing together of mental energies by two or more people on a specific idea.  Because of the concentration of the mental energy due to the numbers, the outcome is always greater than the outcome from a single person.  This practice of focusing energy to achieve a specific outcome can take on a whole new meaning when the thought process is linked to spiritual or mystical evolution.  Put a group of like-minded individuals together with the intent of opening channels to higher knowledge and watch what happens.  There is certainly power in numbers.  A group of people can magnify an outcome in ways that most single consciousnesses would never achieve.

Each of us carries with us knowledge and intuitive insight that is meant to be shared with others to expand the consciousness of all concerned.  Putting people together in groups produces energy and if the energy is channeled on positive directions, there is no telling what it can achieve.  There is no limit on how others will be impacted.  Assimilation of our thoughts or energy in a group can benefits others and open channels that often lie dormant.

We are here to share our energy and abilities.  We are here to offer our assistance to those in need.  People are often drawn together for a cause and enlightenment is often a by-product of such meeting of the minds. 

What takes place when the group is expanded and the channel is opened for many individuals at the same time?  What is the effect on all involved and what transpires internally to each individual when we consciously focus our thoughts with countless numbers of individuals?  Do we not create a ripple effect and subtly sway man’s consciousness in an intended direction? 

It is in our power to align mental control and help those around us; first by being an example of that which we are trying to create and then by focusing our attention on the people that are open to this energy.  The more others are aware of this consciousness and the greater the number of individuals involved, the higher the potential good that will come out of the focus.  All souls are on the same path.  There is power in numbers and our numbers are always increasing.  We open our inner channels for understanding.  We are all on different levels with this understanding.  Some of us have periods of stagnation; some have been stalled due of outer influence, some through fear of being ridiculed and the list goes on.  Once we recognize our inhibitions, we can take up our journey once again.

It is time to lift the veil of uncertainty and become channels of truth and love together as one.  Believe in the power of a joint effort.

Sun in Aries - Astrology

The Sun moves into the sign of Aries on March 21, 2014.   If you are an Aries, or have your Rising sign in Aries or have several planets in the first house, this post will apply to you. 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac.  Aries people or anyone with the aforementioned placements in their birth chart will be an adventurous spirit.  If there is something new, they want to be the first to figure it out and if it provides a challenge, all the better!  These individuals will be the first one to say yes to anything that holds their interest and enthusiasm. 

Aries individuals are not afraid to rush into situations head first, and because of this, there is often a need to redo things.  Mistakes can be made when they are always in a hurry.  There is a desire to learn and an eagerness to push into new realms of activity.  They are the explorers of life and life would be very boring if there was not a new adventure for them to dive into.

Ariens also make great entrepreneurs as they are usually not afraid of take chances and understand instinctively that sooner or later they will manifest their dreams.  Very few of these individuals know fear and when dangerous situations occur, they would be the first to jump in and do the heroic acts.  They are spontaneous and always on the go.  Their energy seems boundless, and they are very driven individuals.

In arguments, they can be volcanoes and although the eruption can be abrupt, it usually does not last and they are quick to forgive their adversaries.  They are just as quick to forget the incident ever happened.  Their quick temper is probably one of their greatest downfalls and adjustments will have to be made to this reaction.  Because of their sparky nature, they are not known for being very patient and are usually quick with a response.  This can lead to remorse for words that may blurt out of their mouths and this is another aspect that needs some adjustment.

In most cases, they are well meaning people, although what they want is very important to them personally as well.  They will, however, be the first to assist anyone who needs their help and in any situation that requires quick response.  You can always depend on them.  They are ready to jump in and give a hand, anytime anywhere.

Due to their somewhat aggressive personalities, any type of sports would be a great avenue of expression.  Many are found in the martial arts or boxing and some become great athletes as most have strong powerful bodies.  Some professions that would suit these individuals are the military, police services and the fire department.  Many also have executive ability, but they would do best in a role as manager or a CEO type position within their own enterprise.

Aries people are self-promoters and somewhat indulgent in their own personal needs but they would not intentionally hurt others.   They truly believe in themselves and stop at nothing to reach their goals in life.  Although somewhat abrupt in their mannerisms, their intent is to make you aware of any potential problems, and they are quite willing to assist you as long as it does not take too much of their time.

If you were to form a relationship with an Aries individual, be ready for action as life will be filled with things to do and will be adventurous, almost to the extreme.  You will not have many dull moments with an Aries friend, and they can teach you a thing or two about assertiveness and personal drive.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

When your world turns upside down and all your effort and hard work seems to slip to the wayside, stay strong and believe.  There are times in life when the world seems to fight back and it appears that all your efforts leave you feeling empty and alone.  These are life’s obstacles and have been placed in front of you to make you review events and ultimately overcome the hurdles.  You are not to bow your head in surrender and allow setbacks to steer you off your course.  Your convictions are truly shown when the going gets tough.  What good are beliefs and character traits when you do not enforce them when there are trying times?

We are all faced with difficulties and deep within we know that these difficulties have been put in our path for us to overcome.  When life events are allowed to offend your present state of being, you know instinctively that you have to fight back and stand up for your character and beliefs.  You also know that challenges are placed in front of you so that you can find inner strength to move forward in your life’s objectives.  We unfortunately allow life to torment us at times and we feel that we will never survive the onslaught of the events that our attitude sometimes terms as inequities.

When you are at your weakest moment and you are ready to give up, this is when you must call on the inner strength and the fortitude needed to overcome any situation.  You are not born into this existence to be overcome and knocked down.  You are meant to stand tall and recover from all situations (lessons).  We all have the strength to carry on, no matter how unjust you may think the circumstances.  Without lessons would we not stagnate? 

You must believe in yourself and find that thread of hope that is always there; then give it your all.  If you maintain this objective, you will succeed even when all else fails.  When you stand alone in the face of darkness or at your journey’s end, there is always life beyond the next door.  You can withstand anything as long as you focus your mind.  You have to believe in the unbelievable.  Strive to attain the unattainable.  The door will open.

Never go to extremes with life, but believe that you will overcome.  The hardest of life’s events hold the most valuable lessons we can learn.  Events do not always end in the way we had envisioned (this is what creates the disappointment) but remember the events of our lives are what we need to fulfil our purposes.  It may not seem fair.   Who can define “fair” in your spiritual development?  Who can define “justice”?  Life’s incidents do not dictate who we are but they certainly can mold our character.  We must stay strong in the face of adversity and believe.  Never sell yourself short.  There are always options especially with your response to life.

When this life’s journey is ending, for one day we will all succumb to this right of passage, ensure that you have no regrets, no grudges and know you have done your best to learn each lesson that has come your way.  Understand that life goes on (maybe not as we currently know it) for energy is perpetual.  Until that final day comes, be ready and stand tall.  Know that you will recover.  Allow your inner strength to guide you.  Know without a shadow of a doubt that you are able to overcome anything that is placed in front of you.  Above all else, simply believe!

The First House in Astrology

The cusp of the first house is known as the Ascendant or Rising Sign, which defines how we present ourselves to the outside world.  It is the first impression we displays to the world.  The sign on this cusp will provide information as to how others perceive us.  There are twelve signs in the zodiac.  Each house has its own persona.  The first house has a lot to do with our identity.  This personality is not necessarily the individual we are on the inside, (which is represented by our Sun sign).  The Ascendant often identifies us through physical appearance.  For example, Taurus individuals are either a little shorter than most or average in height and have a strong body, while a Gemini is usually taller than average and slender in build.  Astrology is a science that has been around for a very long time and due to our current world of fast foods, unfortunately, the physical characteristics of the Ascendant do not always apply.

As all houses represent an area of life, the first house is defined as a house of action--where things happen.  When planets through transit or progression pass over the Ascendant or cusp of the first house, things happen, changes occur and transformations take place on a personal level.  This house rules your personal self and everything we reveal to the world.

When Venus passes over the first house cusp for example, (depending on the individuals age when this happens), we could meet and fall in love with someone and begin a new life.  When Mars passes over this same area, we may experience some type of confrontation or action which forces us to make some type of decision on what we need to do.  When Saturn passes over this same area, we may feel restricted or as though we are being tested.  We may be forced to make changes to who we are or our way of looking at the world.

The first house often has to do with our vitality and describes our physical demeanor.  It may also be reflective of our health, although the twelfth house deals with health as well but often chronic conditions.  When a planet moves from the twelfth house into the first house, it is a time of new beginnings, fresh starts and depending on the planet involved, one feels regenerated and ready to begin anew.  This is an angular house which strongly suggests an area where life is activated, and many times it is not hidden or repressed.  Others will be aware that something has happened as we make changes in our life or even make appearance changes.  Our personality undergoes transformations especially when Pluto moves across the Ascendant.  Many times our lives go through transformations and relationships alter significantly.

Find out more about the planets located in your first house in your Natal chart and the affect that transits will have on your life as they move across this very sensitive area.  Astrology can pinpoint when these changes will take place and how they will affect you as well as the time frame involved.  It should be pointed out that these planetary energies affect us, but ultimately we decide what to do with the energy of these planets.

Thank You

Thank you to everyone that participated in our first semi-annual “Focus on Inner and World Peace”! 

 

The response was tremendous.  It is exciting to be a part of such a large number of loving, devoted like-minded people.

 

Without the experience of inner peace for each and every one of us, there cannot be world peace!  We will organize another group focus again sometime around the Autumn equinox.  This focus on peace does not have to stop here.  The more we medicate, focus our energy, picture, pray the more personal peace we can obtain.  Peace is not a place where there is no noise or confusion, it is an energy we allow to envelop us no matter what is happening around us.  Please feel free to continue your method of focus ….daily if you wish.  We have nothing to lose and so much to gain!

 

“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.” ~ Dalai Lama XIV

Now and Forever

We would like to remind you that you are eternal.  You have no beginning and you have no end.  You have come into this life on a continual evolutional path.  It is a continual process.  Our goal is to return and to merge with the oneness that encompasses us all.  You may call this oneness God or the Godhead, if you wish.  You can call this what you will.  It is who we are, where we have come from and where we are heading.

This is not to say that upon completion of our earthly existence that we spontaneously merge with our pure essence or alternatively that we can reach it in many earthly lives.  Ultimately, however, we come back to our essence.  We are one and our ongoing evolutionary growth is constantly bringing us closer to this unity.

We are a unique spark of creation and experience our lives here on earth to move closer to our origin.  Although origin usually implies where we began, in this case, origin means our whole.  We live our lives and experience the lessons.  Obstacles are cornerstones to these lessons and the foundation which helps to hold us together and mold us.

We create the atmosphere of our earthly lives through our attitude.  We must push ourselves to learn from each experience and to push in our intended direction with the necessary integrity to carry us forward.  We are not merely an evolutionary machine that is born into this life’s without intention nor cast into life’s often merciless activities just to live and die.  We are creators in the highest sense of meaning and our soul understands what is necessary to bring about its own conquest.  Life is the sum of our beliefs and our expectations.

You are a vibrant force that continues to exist after you leave this earthly form.  Fear of death is an inherited attitude.  Free yourself from this attitude by channelling your thoughts on your eternal energy, that death is just a graduation of life’s current schooling.  Concentrate your energy on the more positive purpose of death.  You know and understand the power of your thoughts.

Control of your life’s experience is in your attitude.  Mold your reality into a positive experience.  You are the creator.  Know this.  Continue on life’s quest and channel your thoughts in the direction you want to move.  Welcome the challenging lessons as they offer the most rewarding outcomes as long as you view them as positive.   Why even consider the alternative?
