The Real Truth About Cats and Dogs May 2002 | |
|
The Real Truth About Cats and Dogs -OR- Cats, Dogs, and Chakras. Dogs are like the first, second and third chakras. Cats are like the fifth, sixth and seventh chakras. Puppies and kitties correspond to the fourth chakra, which is the heart chakra. As pups and kitties grow into dogs and cats they keep the unconditional love of the 4th chakra. Dogs 1 - first chakra symbolizes survival, instinct, groundedness, and sense of belonging. (Wild dogs run in packs.) 2 - second chakra symbolizes intimacy, relationships, sharing and sexuality. (When was the last time you saw a cat humping someone=s leg?) 3 - third chakra symbolizes determination, purpose, and power. (Dogs are fearless when protecting their loved ones.) Cats 5 - fifth chakra symbolizes self expression, creativity, and sound or communication. (Some are quite vocal when it comes to food. Their purring can be very loud as well.) 6 - sixth chakra symbolizes intuition, direct knowing, vision and transcendence. (Cats have many special powers, some call them magical animals or higher beings.) 7 - seventh chakra symbolizes enlightenment, self-realization, fulfillment, and mysticism. (A sleeping cat is the perfect picture of peace. Have you ever seen a cat hurrying or worrying?) |
Stars We are one with the sky. We are reflected in the stars as the stars are reflected in us. >The Zodiac is made up of stars or constellations of stars. We each have all the signs in us; Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. Of course, different signs are stronger or more pronounced depending on the individual. Your Sun sign is about your individuality - the strength in you. Your rising sign or Ascendant, which is found using your exact time of birth, tells about how others see you. It is the personality others see when they see you. How can we be or have all the signs? The wheel that represents your horoscope has each of the signs represented somewhere on the circle. The wheel is divided into twelve parts to represent the areas of life. Love, work, health, money, friends and travel are examples. The sign that is on the friends part of the wheel (11th) tells about the kind of friends you have. The sign that is on the work part of the wheel (6th) tell you about the way you work or even what you do for work. When you look at your chart wheel or Natal chart as it is more frequently called, you will see that it has every one of the twelve signs. |

Connecting to Guidance Guidance or intuition is a big part of who we are as humans. It is not a gift. (Actually it is a gift but we all have it.) That would make it a birthright! Some do use it more or better than others. Positive Rules for Letting Intuition Come Through 1. Expect it to be there. 2. Take the risk of being wrong at first. 3. Let it be okay to seem weird to others. 4. Do let it be okay not to be so mental. 5. Say I feel, instead of I think. 6. Try sending a message by thought instead of talk. 7. Practice meditation, and/or Connected Breathing. 8.Take moments during the day to scan your body for tenseness. Let it go. 9.Keep a journal or just write whatever comes into your mind, you do not have to keep what you write. It is the exercise of writing that counts. 10. Do not give up! Your Answers are within. Yes, you can learn to follow your intuition and act on faith. The first step is to want to. Your desire to do this is very important. |
We expect the truth we seek to be confusing and hard, something to wrap the mind around, something to use our great mental power on and conquer. It is not a conquest. It is a simple gift what we already are - Peace. Remember Judgement and ill feelings toward ourselves and/or others, causes us to lose energy. This can create in us fatigue and physical illness. Who are You? In the Instant Meditation it says AGod is everything, God is all, God is Love, God is one, and we are all a little piece of the same ball of yarn, the wind, trees, birds, the universe, your mother, dad, friends, the whole thing.@ Isn=t that beautiful? If you were shown who God is, the answer might be a finger pointing at you. We are God split into many parts, and we are those parts. Together we make up the body of God - Goddess. Once I heard that if you want to get to know yourself; ask yourself what you believe about God. If it is a happy loving God, then you will want to get to know yourself. If it is a judgmental/punishing God, you won't want to get to know yourself. You are God. You are blessed and divine, a part of the Whole. Learn to love yourself just the way you are! We all have much to learn. (Or we would not be here on Earth.) We can all grow. |

Inspiration - Feeling More Secure Inspire means: 1. To produce or arouse a feeling. 2. To take air into the lungs. Spire is where the word spirit comes from.InSpire means to put spirit in, or bring in spirit. When we breathe, we are taking spirit into ourselves. Find ways to bring spirit into your thoughts. Think of what you use to inspire you. There are many things that we let influence or inspire our thoughts. We turn information into threats against us or let it instill peace in us. It depends on how we think of the information. Take something that seems to threaten you, logic says that it exists and can be detrimental. You then experience fear, doubt, anger, or sadness. How can you use this situation in your favor? You can actually create thoughts that work with the situation. If you work against it, the struggle or negative energy of your thoughts about it will create more of the problem or the thing that you were working against. When you work with things by not fighting them and your own negative emotions about them, you rise above them. You become enlightened or more knowledgeable about the situation. The knowledge-enlightenment is like you are seeing it from above. Thus giving you understanding and answers to get you through. What is your inspiration? What inspires your thoughts? Things and situations can only be what we think about them. We create how good or bad a situation is by our thoughts about it. That is what is meant by AOur thoughts create our reality.@ What do you use to instill a sense of peace in yourself? |
Inspiration continued…. It could be a book or movie that gives you an idea. AIf they can do it, I can do it.@ We can refer back to a book for words of inspiration. For many children it is mom or dad that inspires, nurtures and helps them feel more secure. We need to know that there is someone or something we can turn to. The someones are people who remind us of who we really are. Strength and power lie deep inside each and every one of us! Secure = centered within ourselves. Remember who you are and where you came from. The Little One I have a kitten in my lap. She comes to me for love and food and warmth. She can live without me to give her these things. She does not need me. But with the Love and food and warmth that I provide, her life will be longer and happier. Pets look up to us. They turn to us for inspiration. Animals in the wild turn to the sun and nature for inspiration. Inspiration means - to remind us of our connection to the source. Our love and warmth and sustenance comes from the source that is within us all. To live with this knowledge is to live a longer and happier life. |

Relationships Lately so many have been asking about relationship issues. Some already have a love relationship and are uncomfortable with the other person=s actions. Things that their mate did, or did not do, made them unhappy. They seem to feel that something is missing. Some are looking to have a love relationship with another. They may feel that a mate would fill the emptiness within them. They might not see it as a desire to fill up the emptiness. It is just that life would be so much better with a mate or partner to share it with. In both of these situations we are dealing with emptiness or something that is missing. If we feel that we have nothing, it will be very hard to create something. Whether we are in an unsatisfactory relationship or looking to join with another, we first have to have a good relationship with ourselves. Seeking fulfillment through going outside, as in looking to a partner, is a way of escaping ourselves. |
Relationships continued... Universal law tells us that other people mirror us. They unknowingly teach us what we need to learn about ourselves. They treat us as we treat ourselves. The more intimate the relationship, the more intense the lesson. In order to have better relationships with self and others, we have to stop blaming ourselves and/or the other person. It is up to us to take responsibility for our situation, no matter if we are looking for, or currently have a mate. We can make ourselves and our lives better by loving ourselves more. The amount of love we feel from others in our lives is a direct reflection of how loving we are to ourselves. Let us recognize the love and completion rather than the emptiness within ourselves. As we look at things and people, let them remind us of the love that is within us all. Experience of this deeper love fulfills us. With experience of this deeper love, we no longer seek outside of ourselves. When we truly know the love within, we attract love from without. |

Spirituality Do you belong to or identify yourself with a specific religion or church? What are your beliefs about God, life, death, your purpose, etc? If you do identify yourself with a specific religion, why? Ask yourself this. Is it because you were brought up in that religion? Have you made an active choice? Imagine that you were never introduced to a specific set of religious beliefs. Which one would you choose? When you understand your own choices around the subject of religion or choice to not have Areligion@, you learn more about yourself and your place in the world. Some would choose to have no Areligion@ per se, but to have spirituality instead. Some are very religious but not very spiritual. Religion and spirituality can go together but they do not have to. You can have spirituality without religion. Spirituality means to commune with God at any time and place and in many ways. Religion would be to have ceremonies, rituals and specific ways of connecting or Aworshiping@ God. Most modern Christian religions are about worshiping God or Jesus. This is fine. But, more and more people especially in our country are accepting and taking up the idea of God in man, the idea of God in all things. Rather than worship some unknown, unseen force, some commune with God in and through nature. More of us are even learning to commune with the force of God within our own beingness. Some are even taking it to the level of seeing and loving the God present in other humans as well as ourselves. |
Spirituality continued... Ask and answer for yourself, what are your beliefs about God, life, death, and why are you here on earth at this time? It is okay to be religious and to have a religion. Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Spiritualist and the like native American religions and Wicca. But if you choose a religion to follow, use it to learn more about yourself and your relationship to God. Be able to answer for yourself, why you chose that path. Time for Change We all have times where we feel empty, experience loss, and think that things are falling apart. Iching hexagram #41 (decrease) is always followed by #42 (increase). There a cycle in life where we need to clear out in order to fill up with new. When one door closes another door open will open. Focus on the fact that something new is coming. Worry about which door is closing and which is opening only brings stress. Remember that your Godself knows. Know that all things must change. And keep in mind the principle that says What you focus on expands. Change is a signal to look at your beliefs about your life. Which ones serve you and which do not. What do you want? |
