Today begins a new cycle in the dynamic relationship between your Lower mind and your Higher mind (between your lower and higher Manas)…between your Reason and your Truth.
At least once a year Mercury will come over Jupiter and bring about this re-set between your powers of Induction and Deduction, between your Information and your Understanding.
Mercury rules your “Lower” Mind whereby you connect with the world around you, gathering sensory inputs or data…You observe, analyze, categorize and use your marvelous gift of intelligence to create your experience of the greater reality around you. However, Mercury works within the contexts that are set down by your Principles or Truths, by your Jupiter function.
Jupiter rules your “Higher” Mind wherein you create your World View…Your belief systems of religion, philosophy, science and law provide the framework for you to look out upon your world and perceive what you can with your Lower Mind. Jupiterian Truths create your point of view, which you then go out to prove or disprove with your Mercurial experience of reality; and your Mercurial inputs feed back upon to prove, refine or disprove your Jupiter assumptions. In effect, your Jupiter Deductions and Mercury Inductions work together to constantly build a fluid and dynamic understanding of yourself and your world.
Today provides a wonderful moment to stand between your Truths and Facts, between your Understanding and your Reason as you move closer and closer to True Wisdom.
For the trouble is, you do not know what you do not understand. Your Jupiter principles guide you to see the world a certain way, and this directs your lower mind to find those inputs that prove you right. Meanwhile, your Mercury reason seeks to find information that serves to reinforce and build up your Jupiter “truths”. Unless you remain constantly vigilant, always questioning, doubting and testing your “Facts” and your “Theories”, you will find yourself falling into error and confusion.
Today provides a special opportunity, a re-set much like a New Moon for your two minds, the Higher and Lower. You can stand beside them both and see how certain assumptions of the Higher have predisposed you to accept or look for certain inputs to confirm your world-view; you can also see how your gathering of pure data points have been pre-determined by what you wished to find in order to confirm what you believe to be true.
Today your Higher Self, through your Buddhi or The One True Mind, can help you see into this beautiful but self-limiting relationship of your Lower and Higher Minds. You can stand in the centered space of your Lucid mind, more free of your “assumptions” and “facts”…You can look at yourself and your world anew, like a newborn child, with eyes that are Full of Wonder!
You are Spirit…Mind on a Quest for Greater Understanding.…
You are a Spark of the Divine…your ever unfolding, self-becoming urge…To Grow!
Today you take a new step closer to your Greater Life…
Today you move closer to the Light of True Wisdom!
Bill,
Did you get my previous comment? I typed it on my phone so who know’s where it is now…I wrote:
Dear Bill,
I sure hope this is true! I have often witnessed self-fulfilling prophecies being carried out and wondered if there are any influencing my choices and way of life. Maybe the best answer in dealing with a difficult situation isn’t just to walk away (although that’s definitely the easiest) but rather, it is to stay and use the challenges of the situation to help one work out one’s larger issues.
Dear Cecilia,
I did not receive the previous message.
Of course this is true. But as I indicated in the post, we must always remain vigilant and keep challenging our assumptions, outlooks and points of view continuously. This is just a special moment for that…but we should always be alert to our tendency towards being complacent.
Yes, we are always creating our future, but we are very imperfect as in many things so we don’t create as well as we should since a lot of egoistic desire and/or fear gets mixed in and voilà…it is not pretty.
And yes, we encounter most situations to learn and grow through working it out…but some situations may require walking away (or running away!)
