The Astrology of Relationships – Understanding Mars and Venus in Your Birth Chart

Humanity has spent an immense amount of time exploring the depths of the oceans and the vast universe. We have scanned every corner of the earth and our solar system. We have spent so much time exploring and understanding everything around us, and yet we know so little of ourselves. In fact our relationship to ourselves is one of the most challenged aspects of our current reality.

In my view, self-awareness lies at the root of our spiritual path. This is where our attention is most needed for us to evolve to the next step in our evolution.

The truth behind this awakening lies in our awareness of our journey back home; becoming mindful of our own natural inner vibration, accepting that unique vibration and then actualizing and individuating that vibration. We all have within us a true, undistorted, natural inner vibration – who we naturally are without any conditioning. As we slowly begin to move upward into the age of light, the frequency on our planet will rise and awakenings will intensify. The more we connect with our own true nature the more we are able to understand ourselves as transcendent beings.

5 Ways to Suffer More Successfully

“The obstacle is the path.” –Zen saying

“The obstacle is the path.” ~ Zen saying

“There are two ways to escape suffering in the Inferno. The first is easy: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the Inferno, are not the Inferno, then help them endure, give them space.” ~ Italo Calvino

Pain is a natural part of life. There’s no way around it. When we don’t get what we want, we suffer. When we get what we want, we seem to always want more, and we suffer. When we are hungry, we suffer. Even when we fill up, we seem to always have our eye on our next fix, and so we suffer. But there are ways to experience pain in healthier ways. There are ways to suffer more successfully.

Heightened awareness surrounding the dangers of commercially processed food is hitting McDonald’s, the number one global fast-food chain, where it hurts, their wallet.

Due to a decline in company sales and an attempt to remain “relevant,” McDonald’s CEO Don Thompson announced plans to provide speedier service, extend breakfast hours and prepare more “high quality,” healthier food.

In order to keep up with the “trends,” McDonald’s has added several new items to their menu including chicken wraps and breakfast sandwiches made with egg whites.

Unsurprisingly, the changes have failed, most likely because people interested in eating healthier food just simply aren’t going to look for it at a fast-food chain, especially McDonald’s.

According to the Oak Brook, Illl.-based McDonald’s, guest counts fell...

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 11/30/2014 - 08:17

A recent posting detailed how upper middle class Americans are rapidly losing ground to the one-percenters who averaged $5 million in wealth gains over just three years. It also noted that the global 1% has increased their wealth from $100 trillion to $127 trillion in just three years.

The information came from the Credit Suisse 2014 Global Wealth Databook (GWD), which goes on to reveal much more about the disappearing middle class.

1. Each Year Since the Recession, America’s Richest 1% Have Made More Than the Cost of All U.S. Social Programs

In effect, a reverse transfer from the poor to the rich.

When Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project spoke at World Domination Summit this past summer, she said that the key to happiness is to be more of who we are. In order to know who we are, she suggests that we ask ourselves a few key questions. Try writing down your answers to the following questions.

1. Who do you envy and why?

Gretchen says that when someone has something you want, that’s very useful information about who you want to be. Rather than focusing on the negative aspect of envy or the judgment you might put on yourself for feeling that way, focus on being grateful for this additional information about what you value and care about.

Enough

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sat, 11/29/2014 - 17:10

To those of you who do not seem to get enough rest, and you’ve tried everything, well, then, never mind about it. Drink your green tea, pinch yourself, be awake and have the idea that you are getting enough rest. No longer say: “Oh, I’m so tired. I don’t get enough sleep, etc.”

Give yourself some better propaganda.

Rest and appetite are not all they are cracked up to be. You can eat and eat when you have already had enough. You can crave sleep in the same way. Consider need for sleep as an appetite. You know very well that if you found out you won a big lottery today, you would be quite alert and wide wide awake!

What you tell yourself is important. Don’t turn yourself into an insomniac. Nothing is for you to make a big deal of.

You are well aware that I am all for your getting enough sleep. It is possible that you don’t really know what is enough for you at any given time. In any case, you don’t want to convince yourself that you are lacking anything. You have the resources within you to be fine. So be fine. Declare it. Own it. Let yourself know that you are doing well and rising above everything, even what the world might call not enough sleep.

Figures are arbitrary. They mean what you say they mean. With or without sleep, you are doing well. Remind yourself that you are not your body. You are ever so much more.

How to See Problems as Opportunities

By Jason Demakis

Life throws us curve balls all the time; it's the nature of the game. How we choose to interpret these events (and how we define and label them on our personal scale of severity) is going to have a huge impact not only on our experience of perceived problems - but our ability to effectively work through them.

How this works is that our perceptions tend to break down into two main categories: problems as obstacles, and problems as opportunities. Let's explore both in detail and extract as much personal empowerment as possible, shall we?
