God said:

Ideas are your children. Ideas fall to you from above without your asking, or you reach up as high as you can and pluck ideas from above. Many ideas fall to you easily. Some ideas are not wanted. Some ideas you crave. Some ideas are tiny thoughts. Some thoughts are revolutionary. Some thoughts are brand-new, and some are recurring.

It could be said that new thoughts and their bigger brothers, ideas, surround you, and you run into some and not into others. We can differentiate ideas from thoughts, or We can group them, interchange them, exchange them. We can lump thoughts and ideas together and make them synonymous.

Many thoughts come uninvited, and you would wish them away.

Brilliant ideas may flood your mind, and then you can’t remember them. Oftentimes thoughts of your dreams from a sleep you just woke up from fly away, and you can’t catch them again.

Remembered or not, every electrical impulse of thought contributes something to you. Thoughts may flounder within you, or they may flourish within you, or they may drop off the edge of the world.

The whole world, as beautiful and defined as it may be, is an idea, a miraculous idea. Of course, you are positive that ideas are real and grounded while you have them. Ideas always seem to be dancing or cavorting or connecting themselves in some sense. Ideas are lively.

Ideas and thoughts can be heavy or light.

Thoughts are free for the asking, and some thoughts won’t leave, try as you may.

What is self-love? This is certainly a question many life coaches will have considered. No, it’s not about your ego. Nor about being selfish. Self-love is the acceptance and understanding of yourself and of your emotions. Once you find this kind of love for yourself it will have a major impact on the way that you lead your life. Self-love isn’t about putting yourself at the centre of everything, splashing out on extravagant gifts for yourself or setting unrealistic standards for those around you in regard to their treatment of you. These are just mistakes that people often make in their quest for their one true love; their self-love.

Having the ability to love the self means being able to deal with negative emotions and situations that are unpleasant but inevitable. Instead of thinking, it’s not fair; those with the ability to love themselves don’t overcomplicate matters. Instead, life coaches encourage that loving yourself means accepting the things that you cannot change, instead focusing energy on what you can.

Cut down on narcissism and vanity and instead work on building meaningful relationships with others and doing meaningful work or activities that are good for the soul.

“. . . It is the mind which wants to make the experience which it calls truth continuous, and such a mind shall not know truth. Truth is always new: it is to see the same smile and see that smile newly, to see the same person and see that person anew, to see the waving palms anew, to meet life anew. . .” ~ J. Krishnamurti

What creates a mind that can see things anew? Not the stale, crusty, crumbs of ‘truth’ that have mold around the edges, causing us to see reality in a fractured, disintegrating, purely entropic way, but a truth that shines with life and newness like a spring bud bursting from its yellow-green casing?

What allows a radical new theory – like a black hole devouring stars from the inside to create dark matter – to take hold of a scientist’s mind to help explain the origins of gamma-ray bursts, or the study of something as simple as a string of RNA blossom in a curious head so that the boundaries between biology and chemistry start to dissolve? Or even a mind simple and new enough to see the world as it is and not how we wish it could be?

It takes an open mind – a mind willing to see things in a brand new way – in order for these discoveries to take place.

While flipping through the WestJet TV lineup on a recent cross-country flight, I reluctantly settled for a popular daytime talk-show (my other options included Days of Our Lives and re-runs of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo), which saw a panel of 4 diversely opinionated women duking it out to see who could make their co-host seem like the bigger idiot. Sigh.

Interestingly, however, the subject they were debating that day happened to be male circumcision, a surprising topic for daytime TV.

Two of the female hosts in particular were taking the stage with polarizing views on the matter. One host saw the medical procedure as a hygienic practice that lowered the risk of disease while the other saw it as an archaic and highly irrelevant surgery.

In the end, the audience was left undecided. I, however, was left with an ignited curiosity about a medical procedure that I had never really taken time to question.

I was impressed by the research the anti-circumcision host had prepared for her debate, and it got me thinking intently about the ethics behind the globally rooted practice.

You are given a choice, you are always given a choice.  I will say this again in a different way, “You choose!”  Many of you believe that outside forces dictate where you go, what your life will be and where you end up.  The ultimate gift of free will, something that was given and can never be taken from you, is yours.  When you view your existence in this manner, you will begin to see exactly how many opportunities are available to you.  You are not a victim of time and circumstance, you are a creator and co-creator! ~ Creator

Venus Retrograde – on July 25^th the planet Venus will begin a 43 day retrograde period of which 39 days will be spent in the House of Leo. Now I’m not going to bore you about the mundane effects of this retrograde. Other astrologers can tell you about the dramas, breakups, shopping, and beauty blunders to come. Instead, I’m going to focus on the alchemical value and potential of this energy so that everyone has a clear understanding of how to cultivate their soul wisely as the Morning Star enters her moonwalk. So, if you’re looking for the deep wisdom of this time I invite you to read further…

Venus Retrograde – Golden Horizons

Let’s start with a bit of cosmic context. The Sun has just entered Leo and so has Mercury. Jupiter has been in Leo since July of 2014 and will remain in Leo until August 11^th, just long enough for one last conjunction kiss from Venus on August 4^th. Mars will blaze into Leo on August 8^th and then we have our next new moon in Leo on August 14^th in the degree of royal government. So, as you can see, there is and will be an extraordinary amount of Leo energy in the ether in the very near future. If there was ever a time to live purely and passionately from the heart it is absolutely, without a doubt, now!
