Tau­rus, Johfra Bosschart

What are you?

Today we begin the sec­ond month in the Astro­log­i­cal cal­en­dar, and some­where in your chart, and for every­one at this time of year, we all need to lis­ten to the spir­i­tu­al mes­sages for us in this sacred space known as Taurus.

For the past 30 days you have been guid­ed and inspired by the Gift that is Aries, the abil­i­ty to find and forge your true pres­ence as you walk through the “eter­nal now”. As I will often say to my clients when­ev­er their pro­gressed Moon is mov­ing through Aries, (or when­ev­er a plan­et is mov­ing through their chart’s first house), the uni­verse is ask­ing you the first ques­tion of life, “Who are you”?

That is a very pro­found ques­tion indeed, of course. But Tau­rus brings you to per­haps an even deep­er and more chal­leng­ing ques­tion; life will ask you now not “who” are you, but “what are you”? Think about that ques­tion, of all the many cat­e­gories of being, the great range of attrib­ut­es, strengths, pow­ers and so very much more that go into the mak­ing of the “what” of you. Real­ly that is it, “What is that what?”; and that is the ques­tion you need to be ask­ing your­self in Taurus.

And, if you con­sid­er this ques­tion, for even a very short time, you will real­ize how very deep and pro­found it is. Exact­ly what is “the What” of being human? For you are not “a thing”, no not at all. You, and this is true of every mote and par­ti­cle of Cre­ation too, you are a field of Ener­gy-Forms or bod­ies, formed by a hier­ar­chy of these mag­nif­i­cent man­i­fes­ta­tions of Spirit-Matter.

You are a sparkling dew­drop of the divine who emerged from the One. In each life, “from the cen­ter that is every­where and whose cir­cum­fer­ence is nowhere”, from the heart of you which is a Mon­ad of Spir­it-Life-Con­scious­ness, you bring forth from your­self, in com­bi­na­tion with the sur­round­ing fields of Ener­gy-Forms, the nec­es­sary vehi­cles of being that are required for each dimen­sion of life that is Creation.

You descend or emanate from your Mon­ad or Spir­it Body Field which is the high­est part of you, into the next realm of your Men­tal-Intu­itive ener­gy-form or body, then from that descends a low­er Men­tal form, and then from this an Emo­tion­al body, and then a Vital body, and final­ly, to what you mis­tak­en­ly take to be your “true self”, you assume a Phys­i­cal body, the dens­est Field of Ener­gy-Forms that you require for life here on Earth.

And you need to know this, that each of these bod­ies are formed by par­ti­cles and forms from which they are made too. You are not an indi­vid­ual being what­so­ev­er, you are a host of hosts, a ver­i­ta­ble con­stel­la­tion or field of fields of ener­gy-forms, so that in fact you are very own lit­tle uni­verse of Spirit-Life-Consciousness.

Yes, it is in Tau­rus that you move from sub­jec­tiv­i­ty to objec­tiv­i­ty, you go from “I am” to “I am that”. You become you by these forms of being as you expe­ri­ence life as a rain­bow of sen­sa­tions, as you dis­cov­er your strengths, as you acquire your abil­i­ties, and by mov­ing into this earthy realm you forge the qual­i­ties of you as human. In Tau­rus, you expe­ri­ence the joy and won­der of being alive, of see­ing the beau­ty of the world, of liv­ing in a realm of shapes and col­ors, and sounds, and scents, and so many won­der­ful sen­sa­tions that are the heart of and forge the love of being part of LIFE, of which you are a most spe­cial part too.

But the ques­tion remains, what is “that what” of you, or bet­ter, what is the val­ue that is you? From your youth to old age, the val­ues that make you, the qual­i­ties of your being, will wax and wane, as the phys­i­cal strengths of your youth give way to the gifts of wis­dom and judge­ment of lat­er years. There are days when it all seems so per­fect, to be fol­lowed by days when you do not feel so very valu­able at all. Amidst all these ups and downs, of a life of joys and of sor­rows, what is behind the val­ue of you any­way? After all the many ways of val­ue, what is the foun­tain-source of val­ue of you?

As it was in the begin­ning, so shall it be in the end. You are a price­less jew­el of spir­it, a spark of the Divine. There is no way to mea­sure what is the what of you, for tru­ly it is the one Ener­gy-Form behind the entire­ty of Cre­ation; you are through and through made of Divine Uncon­di­tion­al Love.

But so is all of this, all of life, all of cre­ation is here because of Love. All of Cre­ation is pre­cious, all of it is here to be loved too.

You are here because of love, and you are here quite sim­ply to be that Love for one anoth­er and for this beau­ti­ful Earth and for the Stars above you too.

Remem­ber what you are,

Love one another.
