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 to drive on! Just wondering how 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, and 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. Infect 18th 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 Forks 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 !!!
GEMINI PERSONALITY PROFILE
May 20th – June 21st
Mercury ruler-ship
3rd house activity
3 Numerology
Chiselled, Articulate, Youthful and Daring. These are but a few of the characteristics bestowed upon the heavenly TWINS.
Your sense of fairness, and fairplay is something you discover at an early age, as Gemini people are rarely lonely children. You need and crave an audience, and if you don’t have one, you will make one up. Fantasy friends and large white rabbits may well be part of the childhood of Gemini. Infact, they rarely grow up and if made to, too fast, they lose their innocent idealism, which makes them such amazingly gifted people.
There are many Gemini’s who come under the banner of ‘genius’, but let’s not build up their egos too much, because they usually have quite big ones to start with!
They crave care and attention, like the rest of us, but their greater need is to be able to express their thoughts as they come pouring into their minds at a rate of knots.
They can be the kindest and most caring souls, but they also get caught up in insecurities from time to time and it is at these moments you will see the TWIN reveal itself. When they are out of their depth their words can be curt, cutting and downright cruel.
When this happens, they are best left alone until they go back and retrieve the other TWIN, who get’s them to calm down, and peace is restored. It cannot be easy to live with this constant feeling of imbalance, but I don’t think they are as aware of it as the rest of us. Be aware, if you want to have a good relationship with a Gemini, whether you are intending on marrying one or just making a new friend, of their love of travel at a moments notice, because they love to be active, both mentally and physically. They also enjoy small amounts of lots of different kinds of foods, rather like a Chinese or Indian meal. They will love you forever if you plan an evening around this kind of thing.
As a THREE Individual in numerology, YOU like first and foremost to see the world as a playground. You are and always will be rather like a small child peering out into what can be a very unfriendly grown-up world. But we really need your ability to keep the whole world of communications flowing.
You don’t have to become the angry grown up just because something didn’t go the way you planned. You are a wise soul at heart, just listen to yourself playing, as that is where your power to heal and give so much comfort to others resides. When your words hurt then you have crossed the line and become someone else. Perhaps an angry parent who didn’t have time for you as a child, and so you learned how to shut off, shut down or worst of all become them in later life.
FEMALE EMOTIONS
To understand a Gemini female, all you need is a good set of ears. Listen to what they are trying to tell you, because if you don’t they will just keep telling you the same thing over and over again, until they believe you understand them.
It is rather like a ritual, and, unfortunately, its one they can’t stop. Like the old vinyl record they go on and on and on until they wear themselves out. Yes, there is a remarkable likeness to a small child running around and around the room until it falls over and sleeps. Hope this is not too shocking Gemini? I just wanted to show you just how much power and energy you do have but so often waste in futile arguments with yourself.
You can look amazing in the simplest outfit. A slender body and small features is often characteristic of this sign. You look much younger than your years and more often than not have dark or chestnut coloured hair. Don’t ask me why but it seems to be so.
Blonde Gemini’s are rare but equally slippery when it comes to controlling their tempers.
Get a handle on that and you will find yourself a wonderfully intelligent partner who loves having you in their life because it certainly is never dull. You know all there is to know about everything and are not afraid to tell. And you do love a naughty bit of gossip.
You may be in trouble if you are a bit of an insomniac, because you would talk all night if you could, and your partner is likely to have other ideas.
Think of yourself as a storyteller, Gemini, whether in song, verse or rhyme. Make up stories and write them down. You could have yourself a masterpiece and your partner will get himself or herself a good night’s sleep.
MALE EMOTIONS
The male Gemini is always thinking about what he is going to be doing next. In fact, he may well have more than one potential partner on the go, simply because the thought of just one may be far too boring and limiting so he just plays the field for a bit longer than the rest.
His choice of partner in the end is likely to be anything but normal. Whether he goes for a much older, or much younger person – someone who is wacky or weird in some way. A partner who even speaks another dialect or lives on the other side of the world. All of this is a small challenge to our Gemini lover because he enjoys the thrill of the chase and the speed of the journey more than anything else.
To bag yourself a Gemini male, you are going to have to be sooo…interesting.
He might prefer an actor or actress or performer of some kind. Maybe, a journalist or writer, or someone who shares a very interesting hobby or pastime that they find enthralling and want to know more about.
The most important thing to remember though, is not to outdo your Gemini mate because they really don’t like having to play second fiddle. They really like to win.
You have been warned. !!!
CAREER CHOICES:
Teacher, Writer, Publisher, Journalist, Sales Professional, DJ, Record Producer, Musician, GP, Engineer, Lawyer, Solicitor, Accountant, Librarian, Counsellor, Speech Therapist, Hypnotist and Psychic.
As a THREE individual, you have the potential to write a best seller or win the Nobel Prize.
AFFIRMATION
GEMINI’S often find true success when they learn to get out of their own way. They can spend so much time worrying and wondering what everyone else is doing, that they forget about what they were planning in the first place. This is often how they miss out on golden opportunities to create a masterpiece of their own, no matter what that is.
Because they are so sociable as children, they are often loners as adults, and many decide not to have children of their own.
It is as if they have fulfilled that desire within themselves. They just need to teach the rest of us what that feels like!!
To achieve a balance I would suggest the following affirmation:
MARCH astro GEMINI
The New Moon on March 15th in the sign of Pisces brings hope, comfort and a spiritual awakening no matter what kind of Gemini you are.
This ‘spiritual’ connection can create a wave and abundance of new friends and playmates, but it is also leading you away from a way of life that no longer fits with your path. There is likely to have been some kind of dramatic change or clearing during the early part of 2010. It simply could not stay that way otherwise you would never be free to make your own plans in the way you want to.
However, the Full Moon of 30th March aligns you with a new job or career or business venture that gives you freedom and power and the possibility to work from home or to set up in business of your own in some way. All you need is the power of positive thinking to get yourself going and that is on its way to you right now. You have found a new home and that is where you start your new adventure!
I believe June is going to be quite a difficult month for everyone this year GEMINI, but I also believe you are going to get your fair share of opportunities and that they are likely to come into force around the time of the New Moon in your sign on 12th June.
As the New Moon sits in the house of career in your sign, it links to a very positive aspect of the planet Mars, which will be travelling through the sign of Virgo, which is also ruled by Mercury, your planetary ruler.
It is likely your career will have a health or healing connection, but more importantly you will be engaged in the power of this connection through some kind of inner knowing or knowledge.
We all know that your forte is communication so get prepared to answer a lot more questions in regard to your chosen career, perhaps during a workshop, course or meeting. Know that all will be well if it flows naturally from your heart.
The energy of June may require you to make some kind of long-term commitment or for you to finally decide to go solo. This could also include starting your own business or working alone in some way. You will have the head for it, the shoulders to carry the responsibility and the energy of Mars to complete your mission.
I can only suggest that if you let this opportunity slip through your fingers you will be forever kicking yourself. But at least you wont be able to blame your friendly astrologer!
This energy stays with you through the summer months and I feel as if you will be inspired to take up study in pursuit of more information on your chosen subject. Virgo is all about being perfect, but do try not to allow obsession to creep in here.
The Full Moon on 21st December, carries with it a very strong and powerful authoritative feeling. There is also a link with partnership and marriage.
I feel a strong sense of secrets and hidden friendships, which may well be revealed around this time. There is also a need to get you into the spiritual mode through the whole New Year period. The Universe is calling to you but are you listening?
You could surprise everyone by taking your Christmas holiday in some kind of retreat or hideaway place. You may well need to rest at such a deep level after what I can only describe as a very busy year indeed.
America, Americans and anything to do with this culture needs to be carefully observed because it may not quite give you what you thought you were going to get and there may well be a disappointment in this regard.
