Purity of Spirit

What does it take to reach the state of purity of spirit--to be whole, complete and needing nothing more? 

 

What steps need to be taken in order to achieve this state of being? 

 

How can one achieve this and what constitutes purity?

 

Most of our readers and friends are on the path to enlightenment.  We will undoubtedly, at points in our journey, come face to face with adverse qualities within self.  Facing these qualities can be a difficult but also a rewarding experience.  We were born perfect spirits, but many of us lose this focus due to challenging conditions and becoming too focused on the material world.  At times, we even lose faith with our journey and with who we truly are.  Self-reflection is not always a pleasant experience, but it is an important exercise.

 

The true you does not consist of attributes that feel wrong.  Your unwanted traits are not you.  They are only habits that you have allowed to develop.  Unfortunately, most of us accept traits and actions as part of the self and we hold them close as though we own them.  We seldom challenge these habits and we simply give them life through complacency and acceptance.  You choose who and what you are through your belief structures.  We allow events and traits to shape our beliefs of ourselves and our surroundings.

 

It is actually quite simple to render these qualities obsolete.  Do not identify unwanted characteristics with self.  If they are not part of you, they are not you.  Do not accept them as part of who you truly are.  They only exist because you manifest them into being.  By accepting these qualities, you have inadvertently stagnated your own expansion and stifled the “allowance” of who you truly are.

 

Your spirit is pure and your spirit is part of the pure essence.  Your spiritual being is the real you and it holds not one undesirable quality.  Meditate on allowing yourself to be who you truly are.  Believe that this is who you have always been without worldly interference--absolutely nothing less.  Rid yourself of those unwanted character traits by acknowledging that they are not part of the true you and they will no longer find solace within your being.

 

Your essence is perfection.  Allow your essence to guide your journey.  Give yourself permission to be.  Purity of spirit is alive and lives within each of us.......waiting to be released.  Bask in your own true identity.

Progressed Sun Conjunct the Natal Ascendant

The Sun, whether it is the natal or progressed Sun, has to do with your vitality, your energy and your ability to recuperate.  It also deals with the ego and governs the success one is able to attain in life and your ambitions.  The Sun is also representative of the Father and other male authority figures prominent in your life.

 

The progressed Sun moves one degree per year and over a period of a lifetime will not move too far from its original position at birth.  It will make semi-sextile to the natal Sun at 30, semi-square at 45 and sextile at 60 and for those lucky enough to live into their 90’s, they will experience the square at age 90.  The Sun will, however, also make many aspects throughout your lifetime to other planetary placements in the Birth chart, including the Ascendant.  In order for it to reach the Ascendant, the Natal Sun will need to be within 90 degrees of the Ascendant (11^th -12^th house) to make any connections to this very significant place.

 

The effects of the Progressed Sun on your Ascendant will cover over a three year period and the middle year is the most significant as this will be when it becomes direct or 0 degrees in separation to this placement.  This conjunction can produce both negative and challenging conditions and can also suggest positive or reinforcing life conditions that will aid you in moving forward in life.  This is partly due to the transits that will make contact to this placement over this period of time as well.

 

In a positive sense when this conjunction occurs, there are often potential opportunities for advancement in your profession.  At times, people in authorative positions will aid you in achieving your goals and become motivating factors in your surge forward.  In some cases, these opportunities come to the Father.  In a woman’s chart, this is often a time of marriage or engagement and offers opportunities for meeting up with a suitable suitor, especially if the Vertex is involved or Venus and Jupiter. 

 

The health is usually good when the conjunction has positive aspects from transits affecting it and whatever you are trying to achieve has greater chance of success.

 

If, however, this conjunction is receiving negative aspects from other planets in transit, especially outer planets, the chances for success are greatly diminished or you will have to work very hard in order to achieve the same level of success that the positive aspects would incur.   Much of what transforms depends on the planet in question transiting the conjunction and its house placement as well as the house placement it has natally.  You can also look to the house it rules in the Natal chart to get more information as to how events may unfold and what areas of life will be involved. 

 

There may also be difficulties in the health of the individual although you would have to look at the overall condition of the Natal ascendant and Sun as well as any planets in the twelfth house, known as the house of ingrained health issues if poorly aspected.

 

When the progressed Sun advances towards the Ascendant, you may feel a draw to make changes to your life that would enhance your world.  Some will make changes to their appearance while some become involved in exercise routines that enhance the body.  Paying close attention to your well-being is always recommended and especially so when this conjunction is about to take hold in your life.

True Reality

We live in a world where there is much confusion.  People, from all walks of life, search for their or the universal truths with hopes to find even just a glimmer of that which they seek.  They ponder what lies ahead and question why life operates on the various different levels that it does. 

 

Many individuals question how a God could allow such atrocities to happen and what possible positive outcome could result from these events.  It is said that the human race is allowed free reign of their personal decisions.  It is truly difficult to understand the “positive” results of horrific events but personally I have to believe that all things have a silver lining.

 

There are those that believe in yin and yang or polar opposites and that if there is positive in the world there also has to be negative.  There are two sides to every coin and this is what constitutes our reality, or at least our concept of reality. 

 

Take a moment to reconsider this..........What if only love and all its attributes truly exist and this is the only true reality?  How would our world change under such conditions?  What if all the nations of the world followed the golden rule and only did unto others as they would want others to do unto them?  What a world that would be.

 

Reality or at least one of our concepts of reality constitutes that for every action there is a reaction.  For every good deed carried out, there is a blessing that awaits the person who lives by these rules. 

 

What is your truth?  Think in terms of yin and yang--love and hate--peace and war. 

 

Again, what if the only true reality is only the good in life?  What if everything that is not good is an illusion, but an illusion that we have created, that we have somehow given life?  What if we could see the good that comes out of every action without judgement, without expecting that in return something on the opposite side of the scales would have to fall into place?

 

True reality exists (even though this statement sounds redundant, it truly is not).  We experience “judgement” daily through our own thought process.  True reality (not our reality) is good, created through love and compassion.  Yes, our personal reality is made up of two sides to that coin of life, but true reality is all that is good.  Therefore, are we not caught up in a false reality of our own making?  This is not to say that one can escape life’s physical restriction and its difficulties, although perhaps on some mental level conceivably we can.

 

The only truth that actually matters is love generated.  This is the true reality.  The rest of it is a product of man’s interference and has no place in true reality.  It is a blemish that must be conquered and put into its proper place.  Its place, however, does not really exist.  Truth is love and all of its wonders. 

 

Ponder this for a moment.  Allow your minds to remain open to this concept. 

 

Seek out truth and our true reality.

Sun in Libra

The Sun is now in the sign of Libra and this post applies to those who are born with the Sun in Libra or have a Libra Ascendant.  The difference between having a Sun sign in Libra and having an Ascendant in Libra primarily is that the Sun sign is normally reflective of our inner character while the Ascendant usually depicts our outer personality--the personality we reveal to the world and our first reaction to outside stimuli.

 

With this placement strong in your Chart, life is a balancing act.  People with this Sun sign always need to find balance in life and particularly within their important relationships.  Because of this need for balance and harmony in their life, some of these individuals are often said to change direction in mid-stream, just to avoid confrontation.  They have an uncanny ability to see both sides of almost any situation and are great at the art of compromise in order to keep things at peace.

 

They sway from side to side making alterations to keep everyone happy although they are very open to dialogue within their personal relationships and are not afraid to rock the boat when necessary.   Justice is their prime concern and they carefully analyse situations to decide what the best route to take is.  This makes them comfortable in making decisions on behalf of those around them that require guidance.  They see something positive in most circumstances.  These individuals make great mediators.

 

In partnership, and as mentioned this is a primary focus of their life, they strive for peace and harmony but often have trouble taking responsibility for their actions.  They would rather push the blame on others to avoid taking responsibility for a condition gone astray. 

 

Libra people are very social and eager to cooperate for the general good of others.  This makes them very approachable and they are usually well liked.  Seeking the middle ground is their prime objective and if the truth is unpleasant, they will find a little white lie to absorb the blunt of what the truth might represent.  In their mind, these little white lies can protect others as well as themselves and it is ok to use this tactic to save face or hurt.

 

Because of this need for balance and harmony at almost any cost, some Libra individuals have difficulties making a stand.  They are often found sitting on the fence and to some of the more assertive signs in the Zodiac, this character trait is viewed as somewhat weak.  Libra individuals are always looking for the right way to express life or the best way to deal with life when problems could arise.  Harmony is the ultimate condition that they seek and although many have high expectations in life, they are quite willing to let things slide in order to maintain that middle ground that is so appealing to them.

 

It is no wonder that their symbol is the scales of justice.  Their goal is to bringing equality to all and fairness into all situations, without pondering too heavily on what these inherent traits represent to the world at large.  Balance, harmony and peace are the hallmarks of this justice oriented sign and peace at any cost would be their mantra.

WILL YOU PARTICIPATE IN OUR SECOND SEMI-ANNUAL "FOCUS ON INNER AND WORLD PEACE"? 

 

As a special request to all of our followers and friends, we would appreciate your sharing this message of peace with your friends and acquaintances through whatever means you are comfortable using. 

 

Our world is going through a phase of reorientation; and due to the magnitude of the changes that are unfolding on our planet, many of our brothers and sisters, both near and far, are meeting challenging situations in their lives.  Their hardships and in many cases horrendous living conditions are unspeakable to say the least. 

 

We as a group, however, can focus our attention through meditation, prayer or any other forms of focus to help facilitate an offering of peace, compassion and love for those caught up in this plight.  Working together as a group we can send healing energy and love to all the corners of our world.

 

This focus can have a ripple effect as we bring together our focus and our minds in a joined effort on the weekend beginning on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 THROUGH TO AND INCLUDING SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2014.  If you are so inclined, please concentrate your focus/energy around bedtime for approximately one-half hour, or whatever time you have available, on one or on each of these days.  We can send healing energy, love and compassion to any and all of our earthly extended family members.  If you have someone in particular you would like to send your healing energy to, you could spend the last ten minutes of your allotted time to focus primarily on them.

 

Please help us to assist our world in its time of need.  We would appreciate it if you could share our intent as there is even more power in numbers.  Help us to work together and make a difference. 

 

OUR WORLD PEACE IS YOUR WORLD PEACE!

Acts of Kindness

Do you carry out acts of kinds as an automatic response or is it necessary for you to purposely push yourself to show kindness to another?  In the end, does it matter if you are driven or if the action is automatic?  The importance is the outcome.

 

Have you ever sat down and asked yourself what the influence of your random acts of kindness may have been for the individuals they were directed at?........or how many unseen, countless others? 

 

Many acts of kindness are similar to watching a ripple of water made from a boat on a quiet, calm lake.  The wake from the boat, no matter how small, will continue on its path until it reaches the other side of the lake.  The reaction from a small act of kindness is very similar.  The act does not have to be something enormous to have a rolling impact.  These wonderful, random acts come from the heart and more often than not there is no expectation of anything in return. 

 

Should we not then live our lives in this fashion?  Should we not offer random acts of kindness--through in whatever form suits you in that moment?

 

Even though this act may seem insignificant to you, this has little bearing on its impact as it continues across the proverbial lake.  There is no telling where it may end up.  Perhaps all one needs is a smile or a “Have a good day”.  You are planting a seed within that person.  Even the smallest of seeds can mature into a mighty tree. 

 

There may be someone out there who needs the seeds of your action.  Never rule this out.  It IS so very possible.  Spread the joy of life by living it to the fullest and acknowledging the fact that you have life, each and every day.
