Lets pretend that you and I are sitting
across from each other at a table, and place
a T.V. set in the center. We each take turns
trying to describe what we see without
calling it by name. Lets say that you see the front and I see the back, this leads
to two different descriptions of the T.V. set. Now someone else comes in and sits
at the table. This third person sees the side and
will describe the T.V. differently again. If we
look at the three different descriptions, we
would think that there were three different
items being described. When we expand that to
include the world population, we realize that
each individual person occupies a different point
of view in life. When we place different items
into the center of the circle we get a different
perspective from each person, especially if we
place religion, philosophy, love, life or any other
complex issues into the center. This is perspective.
Another idea on perspective is, if you plant a corn seed in the ground, it
has a very limited perspective of itself and it's environment. When it breaks the
surface, it has a new perspective which the seed could not possibly perceive of
when it was below the ground. It had only had concepts of what it might be like
above. When it is half grown it has an even broader perspective. Again the
perspective of itself and its relationship to environment and the purpose for its
existence has changed once it develops the corn husks. This is the development
of consciousness through growth and increased awareness of self and surroundings.
A Spiritually optimist point of view holds that the universe
is woven out of the fabric of Love.
Everything that is happening is ultimately for the good
if we are willing to face it head on
and use our adversities
for soul growth
- Joan Berysenk -
The human race does not go to heaven, we all grow to heaven. This process
is comparable to the planting of a seed. With the proper balance of the four
elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water, in it's proper time, it will grow to full
maturity or heaven. Proper environment is essential for proper transformation
and growth, otherwise a person will become damaged and crippled.
The process of achieving inner awareness of Truth, and awareness of the
Cosmic energy forces in the form of these planetary cycles, is a long and
difficult one. In one lifetime most seekers can only hope to make modest headway
in this direction, but at this time in the history of the planet it is particularly
beneficial and appears somewhat easier than previously. The journey starts with a single step and each
signpost we learn to recognize along the way can
assist us. The proper understanding and use of
astrology is as an important instrument to understanding and learning
these signposts.
Knowing when and how the cycles will affect you
means that you can take greater responsibility of your
life. You no longer need to feel that you are at the
mercy of forces over which you have no control. You
will be able to use the energy of the cycles to improve
any aspect of your life.
