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 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 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 !!!

VIRGO PERSONALITY PROFILE

 August 23^rd – September 22nd

Mercury ruler-ship

6th house activity

6 Numerology

Virtuous, Visceral, Valued, Valiant, Vague, Vixen.

Virgo, you have a cornucopia of valued emotional attributes, that somehow set the scene, for the many different types of ‘Virgo personality’ born under this sign.

Having the same ruler as the sign of Gemini – Mercury - it is easy to see how there are different aspects of you just as there are TWINS denoting the air sign rulership of Gemini.

As an earth sign, however, you take this mercurial energy and make something ‘real’ with it. You bring into form that which Gemini only dreams about. However, you also have so many different aspects of yourself, that it must be difficult sometimes, knowing exactly who you are and why you feel so different from how you felt yesterday?

Let me explain. The Virgin or Goddess is often used to symbolise your sign of Virgo. This virtuous creature is seen as a celibate and humble servant of humanity. She must forfeit her own life for the sake of others and give unconditionally and without question to all who ask for her assistance.

This is OK until she starts to feel unwell. Then the guilt kicks in, followed by the resentment, followed by the powerful visions of her own distinguished style and need for human comfort.

Then we are capable of witnessing a vision indeed. The vixen arrives. She can completely convince you that she is the woman or man of your dreams. She has learned how to appear so needy and yet now she is asking you to see her as this lusting sex object. 

Woops, hello, what do we do with this?  Well at this point, a psychiatrist or counsellor could run for the hills and consider giving up their position on the grounds that they cannot equate with a personality so strikingly odd!  Not at all, just welcome to the world of Virgo.

Ok I may be exaggerating a bit, but only a bit.  Within each Virgo there exists all of the above trying to get out. You can see this at each stage, if you know one of these amazing beings. However, it is usually hidden by some drama that they conveniently manifest, which seems to hide their ability to change from servant to slave. 

These are complicated, sensual, erotic and dedicated souls. If only they could allow all of these attributes to enhance there lives rather than block them. 

When they flow they are magnificent creatures of beauty and grace. Probably performing somewhere, enduring the most gruelling of schedules to bring us the best shows and films ever made. They are also the world’s accountants, mathematicians and musicians. But more likely they are working somewhere that needs such an incredible skill, that they tend to not be noticed, because they get so engrossed in whatever they do.

Mercury makes them communicate with intent. This means that they rarely say something they don’t mean and rarely do what they feel is unworthy of them. 

As a SIX individual, they are born to help the rest of us with our problems. You may find them working in social care, or nursing or medicine, whether holistic or scientific.

Money flows towards them when they get the balance of service and love in right amounts. 

When they live as hermits or close down their hearts, which they often do, life can seem like a very dark place indeed to a Virgo.

FEMALE EMOTIONS

To understand a Virgo female, you will have to take a very subtle approach. She is likely to befriend you if you need help or assistance in some way. She is not pushy or forthright, but she can be zealous in her pursuit of getting something right. 

There can often be obsessions with this sign that can make relationships difficult.

Here we see the two sides again. Some women can become so obsessed with their ideal mate that they can turn into stalkers. (This is extreme so please don’t panic).  At the other end of the spectrum we find the Virgo who simply doesn’t believe anyone will ever be interested in them and so they literally spend there lives alone. 

I would recommend friendship as the key to romancing this particular being.  Take everything really slowly, with absolutely no pressure and get to learn more about them. Giving and taking and most of all receiving are the lessons to be learned for a Virgo. They can be so beautiful, but just take care that it doesn’t come at such a price that you are driven bonkers by their need to get everything into precise and perfect order.

A happy Virgo female has found the deepest sense of peace through her giving and receiving. She has not allowed herself to become bitter or detached from the rest of the world.  She needs people because they need her and it is here she will find contentment.

MALE EMOTIONS

The male Virgo, is often tall, dark and handsome or slightly rugged but still there is an air about him that can often take your breath away.

He too, is deep, complex and likely to be quite direct or curt on a first encounter.

Remember, he needs to serve and help you, but at the same time if he has any feelings for you, initially he may appear to block his feelings because that will mean the strong sexual nature  is rising to the surface, too fast, and he will feel out of control. This is not something he allows to happen because Mr Virgo has a very ordered, and organised life style, doesn’t he?

Well actually, more often than not he doesn’t, simply because he cannot keep all of those amazing feelings in check. He can then end up feeling as if he is being forced into something he cannot stop.  Now you may find your Virgo backing out or pulling away at this point. The best thing to do is to let go and wait for him to find himself again. 

If you are able to understand how this person changes personality whenever there is a slight sense of discomfort in his personal world, you will be half way to engaging in some kind of relationship.  If you cannot deal with these changes then I would suggest finding someone far less complex. 

Mr Virgo needs to be a saint and a sinner. That is his life path. He may turn to the priesthood or medicine to serve. He may prefer life as a single man or he may be gay, or he may just like to experiment with many partners.  He is always likely to surprise you. 

If your partner is so boring that you are looking for someone else, then he may well be a closed Virgo.  

CAREER CHOICES:

Visionary, Film Producer, Actor/Actress, Priest, Vicar, Accountant, Bank Manager, Architect, Engineer, Translator, MP, UN delegate, Doctor, Nurse, Carer, Social Worker, Teacher, Training Instructor, Physical Education Teacher, Personal Trainer, Dietician, Food or Health expert, Piano Tuner.

As a SIX you are likely to be a friend to many but don’t forget to be a friend to yourself. Your health will only become an issue when you feel sad and isolated. But do remember how you came to that perspective. Depression is caused by resentment and anger not being realised or expressed.

VIRGO AFFIRMATION: Please get yourself into a calm state everyday and repeat 12 times. 

I AM the Monad,

I AM the Light Divine,

I AM Love,

I AM will,

I AM fixed design.

VIRGO 2010 FORECAST

The Full Moon on 28^th February, heralds the arrival of all things new in your sign, but will you be ready to take up the mantle of change?

There is a Sun/Jupiter conjunction in your opposite sign of Pisces, at this Full Moon, which could certainly herald much happier times.

There is also, however, a feeling that if you try too hard or take on too much you will be cutting off your nose to spite your face – as the saying goes, so do be diligent in all aspects of your life during this phase. 

Drawing the wrong conclusion from partners, either romantic or business, could also cause difficulties during this time period.

Your new journey is just beginning Virgo, so please trust that the Universe is guiding you to a much better place.  Working projects and alliances could appear out of nowhere, giving you the boost that you need.

By mid June, as Saturn moves back through your sign, structures are being set in place to guide you forward.

Projects involving, buildings, overhead cables, underground mines, overseas connections and the oil business, are all available for your perusal and potential career path.

Those involved in the healing arts may also find a positive boost as you align with new friends that match your energy.

The New Moon in your sign on 8^th September, brings powerful new friendships into your life.  Your voice will be heard in business and lifelong partnerships are open here to be formed.
