The Illusion of Perfection

I’m not perfect.  It feels good to write it down and let it out.  I have a problem admitting that I’m less than perfect, even to myself. 

I have always wanted to do my best, to please my parents, and as I got older to please my teachers and then to please my boss.  But, it has always really been about pleasing myself first. 

Where does the illusion of perfection come from?  We are measured against each other from the beginning.  From our first breath of life to our last, we are measured and charted.  Facts are noted about us, measuring us against others in our demographic grouping. 

We look through magazines, newspapers and reality shows and see examples of life as portrayed by the media.  The only problem with that is when we do not recognize that these are not real life.  They pretend and actually mock real life.  They are made up of pretty people who play act at life, play house and play roles. 

If you use your intuitive skills, you’ll wake up and see right through them.  If you go through life asleep, as many do, it will pass right by you totally unnoticed.  You’ll buy into the illusion and be all the poorer in spirit for having done so.

I invite you to look around and wake up to what is real.  Go outside and take a walk.  Smell the dirt, the freshly mown grass.  Use your imagination if you are completely surrounded by snow, like me.  Take the time to really see the beauty that is the outdoors – there are glorious colors and shapes everywhere you look.  Nature in all her beauty, now that is perfection!

What's Your Sign, Baby?

If you’ve been wondering if your astrology sign has changed, wonder no more – it hasn’t! 

The news circulating that astrologers are off by one sign because they haven’t kept up with the change in the position of the constellations is a failure by one astronomer to understand astrology. 

Parke Kunkle, astronomer, claims that astrologers have failed to keep up with the position of the constellations and thus astrology is bogus and your sign is wrong.

Astrologers are in tune with the Equinox and the Solstice and the progression of the planets.  For astrologers today, it is about the movement of the planets and the timing of the seasons.

Please see Astrologer Rob Breszny’s website at www.freewillastrology.com for a more detailed explanation.

Share Your Love

 The labels that we give each other tend to isolate us from one another.  They divide us and give us reason to separate, rather than to bring us together. 

Why not throw away the labels and relate to each other as brothers and sisters?  Why not relate to one another as people with hearts and minds who think and feel, just like you?

Meeting others as kindred spirits, each having something to offer to the other.  Seeing the light, the spirit, the divine in each other and nourishing that and sharing it with one another.  This is what will bring us peace in the world.

Allow me to share with you this reference from the Dalai Lama…

"At the end of the talk someone from the audience asked the Dalai Lama “Why didn’t you fight back against the Chinese?”

The Dalai Lama looked down, swung his feet just a bit, then looked back up at us and said with a gentle smile, “Well, war is obsolete, you know.”Then, after a few moments, his face grave, he said, “Of course the mind can rationalize fighting back… but the heart, the heart would never understand.  Then you would be divided in yourself, the heart and the mind, and the war would be inside you.'”

Share your love with all that you meet, especially those who try your patience, for they are your true test of character.
