We all live in a specific location. We have certain activities, we’re surrounded by certain people, and we all lead a certain kind of life. Among the people you know, your friends are very important, whether you have one or many.

First you have to know who your real friends are, and differentiate them from simple acquaintances. The best time to do that is when things get tough.

An acquaintance will always find an excuse for not helping you out, or coming to see you. But a real friend will always be there to offer comfort and come to your aid, sometimes even before you call on them!

You don’t have to wait for something terrible to happen to know who would help you when you have a problem. Think about the people around you, and those you consider your friends. Then imagine a difficult situation, and try to figure out who you’d be able to count on under such difficult circumstances.

Draw up a list of who you think your real friends are, and then be straight with them. Above all, don’t let minor arguments ruin a great friendship.

Before you start a fight with someone and say things you may regret later on, think hard and ask yourself whether the friendship you have is really worth sacrificing because you’re angry.

If the answer is no, do what’s necessary to reconcile with the other person, whose help and support you’ll need one day. Also let them know they can count on you at any time.

July - 07/13/2011
 
Picture

If these last few days have felt a bit bumpy, then rest assured: Resolution is coming, and you'll soon be breathing a sigh of relief!

In recent days, sweet and social Venus in sensitive Cancer has been on an emotional roller coaster during contact with both mischievous Uranus and possessive Pluto. As its final challenge this week, Venus butts heads with severe Saturn on July 13. This interaction will require you to see your relationships exactly as they are - no rose-colored glasses allowed! The knowledge you gain will help you establish limits without being too critical. While frivolous Venusian romance is certainly fun, tossing stressful Saturn into the mix can ultimately result in a stronger, more lasting relationship.

Then, on July 15, the full Moon in Capricorn opposes the Cancer Sun. Capricorn is known for its workaholic tendencies, while Cancer is all about home and loved ones. With this full Moon, you'll find yourself in that classic tug of war between work and family. The goal here is not to choose one or the other, but rather to figure out how each can comfortably fit into your life. Don't worry if this sounds impossible at first -- with a bit of creativity, you can make this balancing act work!

The winds rise, fall, shift, veer, prevail, freshen, gust, then relax.  Like the wind, our minds swirl, twirl, regulate, adjust, settle and determine. 

The human mind has the ability to be brilliant.  It is analytical and intellectual.  The mind through thoughts, creates reality.  It's not so much the size of one's brain as it is the size of one thoughts that makes them who they are.  How you think affects how you talk, walk, feel and act. 

A person is the product of of their thoughts.  Others see in us what we see in ourselves.  "To think is to have an opinion: belief, to reflection: to ponder, to call to mind; to remember, to form a mental picture: imagine.  

Without thought it is impossible to look outside ourselves and understand another person.  Thoughts enable us to deal objectively with conflict.  It allows us to solve a problem through intellect, to distinguish clearly, or to comprehend the meaning and significance of events.  

The mind examines the situation and forms a perspective.  Continual repetition of words, actions and ideas cultivate and discipline the mind. 

Duality plays a vital role in our lives and throughout the universe.  The Law of Duality states that opposites are two sides of the same phenomenon.  Know for every negative thought there is a positive thought and for every positive thought there is a negative thought.  Together, but separate, unity, but disunity.  

This principle is reflected in everything we think and do.  Embrace your opposite side, your shadow, the part within that is negative and you don't want to acknowledge, but others can see.  What you tell yourself you program yourself mentally to believe. 

How you think plays a role in the outcome of personal destiny.    Destiny is within your control and fate plays a role.  Personal experience through emotions and actions, create your thoughts.  Allow your thoughts to work for you. 

When the mind doubts, it will attract reasons to support this and will function in ways to help fail.  When the mind thinks positive it will attract reasons to support this and function to succeed.  When you tell yourself you are equal to others, yet an individual accepting self with confidence will condition the mind with positive thoughts to produce behavior and words. 

  To think new thoughts, one must reason, conceive, realize, reflect, speculate and deliberate. 

It is easier to be cynic and harder to believe.  optimism builds and creates.

JUSTICE - karma 08/02/2010
 
Picture
JUSTICE will prevail and the issue will be resolved fairly without recourse to heated, emotional argument.

THE BOND BETWEEN TWO,
IS RELEASED,
 TO BE BORN ONCE AGAIN,
TO THE UNKNOWN.  

DEEP ROOTED CRITICISM EGOS SHATTERED,
THE HOLD WAS NOT STRONG,
THE TIME IS NOW,
TO LET GO, TO FIND THE ONE,
WHO WILL LOVE,
WITH MIND AND MATTER,
WILL LOVE YOU FOR YOU.  

RELEASE THE BOND,
BANISH ALL RESISTANCE,
 TO YOUR TRUE DESTINY,
RELEASE THE FEAR,
UNLOCK THE SHACKLES,
TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE RESPECT THE EXPERIENCE,
DETACHED FROM THE OUTCOME,
PART IN PEACE, KNOW YOU WILL HEAL.  


Being part of a couple means feeling you are part of a team, sharing your time, interests, friends and even your money, while retaining your own individual identities.

Most couple's part usually because they did not know how to share their love, missing the basic skills for communicating and relating in a loving manner.  The woman will stop appreciating her mate's actions, which were his direct way to communicate his feelings.    The male, thinking logically, will take apart the situation moving in a straight line to accomplish his goals, while the female, thinking with her emotions, will move around the problem in circles and spirals.  The man can not understand why, when he gave his mate a solution to her problems, she would not just fix them.  He didn't understand that she was not looking for a solution but just needed to talk out her emotions.  She needed someone to listen with a compassionate ear.             
                 LOVE WISELY, RESPECT THE LESSONS, PAIN TEACHES.  

A couple needs to find ways to fulfil or respect their difference needs and cherish each other so resentment doesn't build up inside and both feel they are giving but not receiving the support they request.  A couple must find the basic rhythm of give and take to nurture the relationship.  

Not every union is meant to last.  Two souls come together to live the experience.  In order to know what you want in love, one must take chances, living the pleasure and the pain.           

KARMA IS NOT THAT YOU RECEIVE DIRECT, TANGIBLE  REWARDS OR PUNISHMENTS FOR OUR ACTIONS, BUT SIMPLY THAT YOU ARE AFFECTED BY YOUR OWN ACTIONS IN THE SENSE THAT AFFECT THE WORLD, WHICH YOU THEN HAVE TO LIVE IN.  

When we have karma with someone, we will be in each others lives until the karma burns off, whether in this lifetime or future one.  Understanding karma and its repercussions will protect and help you from making errors in judgement. 

Karma is the energy, positive or negative, which hangs in the air before returning to the sender.  The law of karma, the law of cause and effect states, "As we sow, so shall we reap."  Everything you do - every thought, deed becomes part of the energy force that we send out.  What you give will come back to you.  What you are, you will attract.  

Law of attraction - we vibrate outward what is drawn toward us.  What you are and how you act is what you will attract.  

TOGETHER YOU LIVED AS ONE,
NOW HAVE FAITH, ALL IS AS IT SHOULD BE,
ONLY RELEASING WHAT NO LONGER BELONGS,
DECIDING TO PART, BREAKING THE UNION,
ACCEPTING THE CREED,
PART IN PEACE BE FAIR,
FROM THIS DAY FORTH NOT HARMING EACH OTHER
FOR IF YOU DO THEN YOU BREAK YOUR OWN HEART.
