Cogito Ergo Sum

 'I think, therefore I am'
Rene Descartes

Welcome to the year 2010. It seems almost impossible to be saying this, I don’t know why but somehow I had a different expectation of what this time period would look like. It probably has something to do with watching all those editions of  ‘Tomorrow’s World’, as a child.  (An ancient UK television programme from the 70s that helped us to look ahead into how the world might look in the year 2000 and beyond!)  Well they definitely got some things wrong. Where, for instance, is my flying car and personal robot? Still waiting for the ironing machine – now that really would be good.  And what about those purple wigs and silver cat suits we were promised. Now they really would minimise on ironing and no need to take that hair dryer with me everywhere.

The reality is far from what I had expected, but is that because it wasn’t really my dream in the first place?  Well perhaps that is exactly why those things have not materialised.

Which leads me to the questions: “How many people does it take, having the same thoughts, to make something happen?”  “Do we all have to have those thoughts at the same time?” 

We hear so much these days about the Law of Attraction, Cosmic Ordering, Flowing with the Stream and Creative Reality. There are many names effectively for what is individualised thought, where we are invited to believe that: ‘Thoughts create things’.  So if that is the case, then why don’t I have a flying car? Right now it would be more than useful as the 2 inches of snow on the road seems to have caused so much chaos in the UK, I cannot use my car at all as the roads are too dangerous!! Just wondering how on earth they manage in Canada? 

With all these thoughts running through my mind, it was inevitable that some direction would arrive - I am always open to synchronicity - infact it is my guide.  One morning into my head popped the name Descartes.  I must admit I did not know this name, so I eagerly hopped onto the Internet and discovered this very famous ancient French mathematician and philosopher from the early 1600s.  His name was Rene Descartes. So what did I learn?

Well, to my surprise, I discovered that he is responsible, for the above amazing quote.  In Latin, Cogito Ergo Sum, which translated simply means, I think, therefore I am.

I think, Therefore I am.  Now what did this guy know about the Law of Attraction, I wonder?  Because it seems to me he certainly grasped the concept. 

So let’s try this on for size.

I think - I am Happy – Therefore – I am Happy

I think – I am Healthy – Therefore – I am Healthy

I think -  I am abundant – Therefore I am abundant

I think – I am in a flying car – Therefore I am in a flying car 

Not sure about the last one but, nonetheless I would say this guy had Law of Attraction right in his hand, but maybe didn’t realise the implications. Or did he? That bit we might never know, but one thing is for sure, he had certainly stumbled on an amazing concept.

So what of the dream of the future that didn’t happen?

Many people believe that 2012 will bring the end to planet Earth. But how do we know this is true?  And if we don’t all know this, then we are not all creating the same thought, or reality, are we?

Just like only a small proportion of the world’s population thinking about owning flying cars, so they don’t exist yet. Can this not apply too, in the case of the end of the world? How many thoughts around the world does it take to create that thing? And if more people, like myself, are wondering how you are going to land that flying car in 2023, can we override the potential for disaster?

So, simply, put, does the future of our planet rest with each and every one of us and our thoughts?

An interesting idea or is it the truth?

So therefore, on one level, it would suggest that not enough people, unlike myself, desire someone to invent an ironing machine?

And what about Global Warming? Are we all so fixated on ice caps melting and the Earth entering a new ice age, that we are creating a scenario before it happens?

The recent extremely cold weather in the UK has caught everyone out. Never thought I would see –18 degrees C in Oxford. Now that is weird. So is something happening because so many people are being told that it is so, therefore it becomes a reality?

Let’s be logical here people. This beautiful planet EARTH that we call home has been around for a long, long time, and has managed to cope without much help from us.

We have plundered its minerals and reserves, its gems and its power. Yet it goes on serving us as it has always done. 

SO perhaps, if the ice caps are melting, then maybe they need to and we should just sit back and watch what that creates rather than see it as a destructive process.  Everything on EARTH is impermanent and yet we can’t seem to accept what might be a perfectly natural process.

Do you really think we can stop whatever this magical place called EARTH has in store for all us.  We share it, we live on it and we die on it and it too has its own thoughts and feelings, except we don’t know what they are. 

So my plea for 2010 is to THINK VERY CAREFULLY about your own reality. Only YOU can create your world for YOU because we live in a truly abundant and magical Universe.

If enough of us THINK ABOUT a strong and positive individual future, and perceive this planet as much a part of our lives as it has always been, then perhaps exactly that will occur.

‘I think, Therefore I am’, seems even more appropriate than ever in this regard. AND so the adventure of life continues.

No matter what we choose to believe, it is often what we think and feel that makes the real difference in our lives. If we are able to plant a seed of hope, creativity, joy and love at the base of everything we do, then, the outcome can only be a positive ascension for all of us. 

When these emotions abound we are capable of achieving anything we desire.  And so is the adventure of life. ‘ I think Therefore I am’

Wishing you all an ABUNDANCE OF LOVE, LIGHT AND HOPE for 2010 Elizabeth Adonai, Ain Soph xxxx

2010

We are entering a THREE year in numerology. This represents all aspects of communication, media, speech, verse and song. It is a number that connects with childhood hopes and dreams as well as sibling relationships. Added to this we have the TEN from 2010. Now when we add the number TEN to the mix, things start to get really interesting because it represents Government, Power, Politics, Law and Order, Social Care and Big Business. 

In a year where we are expecting a General Election in the UK, expect to see childlike squabbling in the Houses of Parliament, Ministers reciting nursery rhymes and fables, poetry recited in the Halls of Justice and toys being thrown out of cots in the world of business and banking.   Not much change their then!!!

On a more down to earth level, if you have something to say then say it. If you want to start your own business that in anyway involves communication, media, PR, advertising, promotion, etc then go for it. No better time than to get your own radio station going. Childhood dreams can be resurrected and put into place.

ASTROLOGICALLY, I really must mention TIME, TIME, TIME.  It is definitely speeding up and I think in 2010 we will see it literally running away from us. This is not an illusion, it is part of the CHANGE that is taking place on our planet. 

We start the year with both Mercury and Mars in retrograde. The power to speak is being postponed – but not for long. March will see this delay blasted open. Infact 18^th February is opening one particular doorway – mark that date in your diary.

The amazing scenario of the year is the speed at which the planet Jupiter moves through the sign of Pisces. If you are born under this sign, then expect your life to take off in an extraordinary way. As it buzzes its way through the first part of the year we will be bombarded with everything ‘bannered’ by Pisces. Ghosts, spooks and spectres are everywhere. This is now big business, and everyone seems to be obsessed by it. Ghost hunters have become the new Rock Stars!

Expect a spiritual revolution. We are all awakening – and not before time – to the fact that we are so much more than this body. I have never known so many people to be interested in psychic research and study than there are right now.

Could it be the use of mobile phones and the internet, that is creating an almost telepathic/electronic desire to open channels of connection with your fellow man and woman 24-7? How long will it be before we no longer need those tools and can simply communicate by our thoughts?  (Back to those again – just remember Thoughts create Things!!!)

June finds Jupiter moving into Aries. This changes the dynamic from spiritual achievement to power madness. Who is left holding the keys to the kingdom? Getting a hold on meaningless wars needs to be done before we hit this time frame otherwise, we can expect to see massacres in areas of the world where war has a habit of breaking out.

Hopefully, some common sense will prevail somewhere and we will stop sending young men to die in the HELL that is HELMAND PROVINCE in Afghanistan. 

Without stepping too far into someone else’s pie, it doesn’t take a lot to see this is really pushing water up hill.

Afghanistan is not our place to CHANGE. It is said to be the seat of creation by many. Its waters are turquoise and its landscape alien in some respects, but rather like a crystalline volcanic desert. It holds many secrets but are they ours in the West, to discover? I believe they are not. Some things are best left undisclosed.

So to avoid war breaking out in a big way somewhere between June and September, be nice to Russians and Chinese people. They are just like us but have to live in extreme temperatures – now we know what that feels like -18 degrees C in Oxford in January 2010!

And what of the forth-coming election? Well, it is likely to be something you wish was over already. Blaming, finger pointing and everyone else’s fault and not a grown up in site. Expecting to see Mr Brown in tears at some point and throwing a tantrum because he can’t get his own way any more. 

The Liberal leader takes on the grown up role, but will enough people vote?  (Love his ideas by the way)

Can’t wait to see the forthcoming brand new episode of Most Haunted called: ‘Ghost Hunting with DAVID and YVETTE’ – a ministerial edition. We could get to see our new Prime Minister David hiding behind Yvette as she gets him to crawl through the dungeons of Westminster shouting: “ Is there anybody here.”  To everyone’s alarm out leaps Gordon Brown screaming about the injustice of it all and asking why oh why wasn’t he invited, and what will become of him now he has no friends.

Just at that moment the resident medium starts communication with Guy Fawkes about the difficulties of government at which point David trips over an old Lord who has made his home down in the dungeon because he can’t afford his country estate since he had to pay back his expenses. 

Aagh alas only my imagination but this is a Jupiter in Pisces production. 

2010 is a year for magic and miracles and mania !!!

ARIES

March 21^st -  April 20th

Mars ruler-ship

1^st house activity

1 Numerology

Beguiling, Enchanting, Impressionable and Feisty. Yes indeed Aries, you are a mixture of all the above. And yes, I am talking about you.

The problem is you don’t exactly see yourself in this light. In fact one of your biggest issues is that you are always worrying about what other people think about you.

Sometimes difficult, because you want everything done yesterday, and when it comes to relationship, you want to know the day after you meet someone whether they are going to be with you forever. But all that aside, you have within you an amazing passion and power to give such strength and support to your fellow man, when you stop worrying about things that really don’t matter because life has a way of sorting stuff out anyway. Doesn’t it?

ARIES with your Mars ruler-ship you have the power within you to light up all of our lives. When you stop sitting on the fence and come forward to the front, you will find your natural home.

 As a One personality you were born to lead, but you often feel as if burying your head in the sand would be an easier option.

FEMALE EMOTIONS

To understand an Aries female, you will need patience, tenacity and a lot of energy, just to keep up with her. When she is moody just tell her how wonderful she looks and take her out for some exercise or keep her in, that bit’s up to you – if you get my drift!

She gets bored easily; so always have lots of gadgets or games to play to keep her mentally active if she is the type who doesn’t live at the gym.  To woo an Aries woman, always focus on how she looks and appears to the rest of the world, and make her feel like she is the only person on planet Earth. You will win her heart by keeping it all very simple.

MALE EMOTIONS

The male on the other hand likes to feel he is in charge of a relationship, but in order to really establish this, he takes a very strange course to achieve his desire. You may find he ignores you, switches off his phone or generally gives the impression he is not interested. He has a tendency of becoming extremely insecure and irritable.

Anyone taking him on as a life partner could find they are at the receiving end of a defensive showdown. Long term this can be very tiring for the heart, mind and spirit. It is always about establishing trust. If you have this kind of male in your life, then only time will bring about change but it will be worth it in the end because you will have a very honest and sincere partnership.

CAREER CHOICES:

Car Maintenance, Motor Racing, Drivers – all kinds. Engineers, Firemen, Athletes, Builders, Architects, Soldiers, Salesmen/Women, Teachers, Surgeons, Hairdressers, Optometrists, and the most amazing Healers.

As One individual, you have the potential to be the Manager or Boss of your own company. 

AFFIRMATION

ARIES people find true success when they follow their own dreams. This may not be as easy as it sounds because they are often the most difficult people to persuade to do exactly that. They get stuck in guilt, and fear of failure.

When, however, they are filled with passion and drive they are capable of achieving their goals and creating an abundance of love and financial security.

To achieve a balance I would suggest the following affirmation:

‘I am safe to do all the things that make me feel happy and I trust the power of the Universe to align me with positive and enriching friends’
