I believe that what you refer to as 'the thought beings speaking' is in fact the mind of our own small earthly self.

The Tale Of The Butterfly Once upon a time, by the side of a dusty road in India sat an old beggar who was selling cocoons. He noticed that a young boy was watching for many days. Finally, the beggar beckoned to him and asked: ‘Have you any idea of what beauty lies within my cocoons?’ When the boy ...

Living in the element of water, fish symbolically represent the emotional level of life, the realm of the soul and the world of feelings. Water animal totems are as generously imbued with meaning as the sea itself. Water is a powerful symbol, a sign of cleansing, freedom and mobility. It represents ...

Webwanderer: This seems contradictory. As I understand it, astrology - the position of certain stars, planets and constellations -' influence' people relative to their birth. You're saying here each person reflects it and also is influenced by it. So how do celestial bodies, naturally emanating ene...

The Message Of The Birds Birds are the representatives of the Air element, the realm of thought and intellectual activities. They bring us the message that our spirit is free and that in thought we can indeed fly with any of the winged creatures wherever we please. On the wings of thought our spiri...

‘The law of life is love. A life filled with love is a heavenly one and a life that instead is filled with selfishness and greed sinks ever deeper into a state of a living Hell on the Earth. Love as much as you can – the supply is endless. The more you give, the more you will receive. No love given ...

O: This has been an interesting thread and has kicked off a fertile stream of thinking, observation, deconstruction, and clarification about the transition I am going through.....and will no doubt go through the rest of my life. So, thank you Aquarius for that. A: I am so glad to hear that! As you ...

It's the gift to be simple,
It's the gift to be true,
I couldn't agree more!

Thanks aquarius, I take it all with a grain of salt, so like I thought, it was fun, for me. When I've read about gemini in the past your post said much of what I've heard before, some that I had not. My husband's was amusing too, so again thanks! Thank you for your feedback, dijmart. I promised you...

My concerns with astrology... W: I don't know if there is anything to it or not, but this is what comes to mind: How is it the relative position of the earth, sun, moon and stars at the time of one's birth have anything to do with the nature of the one born? A: The birthchart of a newly born is a b...

Thanks for taking the time to respond to that. I don't understand Astrology, granted I do think there is something to do it beyond my comprehension. Yet, reading the description of others you posted, I feel all can potentially 'fit me' on some level. And thank you for your feedback. Your observatio...

15th November 1986 – Is this your own date of birth or your wife’s? Are you by any chance doing a spot of spying on her? :smile: E: Haha - I wish I were that devilish. No, I am single and have never been married. That kind of spying would be very unlike me as well. A: Sorry, I got you mixed up with...

Come Fly With Me The German philologist, philosopher, cultural critic, poet and composer Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, 1844-1900, was a devout Christian. In ‘Thus Spake Zarathustra’, first published 1883-1885, he wrote what were to become his most famous words: ‘God is dead.’ However, as most people...

Do not ever blindly believe what others say or write. All of us have our very own built-in lie-detector that can help us discriminate truth from untruth. Therefore, when listening to and/or reading anything, wise ones pay attention to the world of their feelings, through which our inner guidance spe...

15th November 1986 :wink: 15th November 1986 – Is this your own date of birth or your wife’s? Are you by any chance doing a spot of spying on her? :smile: Be that as it may and to whomever this may apply, your Sun is in Scorpio, co-ruled by Mars, the God of war of antiquity and Pluto, their God of ...
