Spiritual Ethics in Today's World - Law of Attraction

Spiritual Ethics in Today's World - The Law of Attraction
Does it really work?

I am often asked if the Law of Attraction really works. Yes, I tell people, emphatically, yes it really works. Asking if the Law of Attraction really works is like asking if the Law of Gravity really works. You just have to throw into the air anything from an anvil to a feather, both of which will end up on the ground.
We all know that energy cannot be destroyed, but can change form. Knowing this, we must also accept the fact that abundance is unlimited. There is always abundance and enough abundance for everyone. The Law of Attraction will either draw abundance to us, or it will push abundance away from us, depending upon what we expect of the universe. Our own thoughts and expectations determine the quality of our lives and the abundance we draw to us.
The first step in understanding the Law of Attraction is to understand our own thoughts, thought processes and expectations we have of the world around us. Whatever emotions we are feeling at any given moment will contribute to the thoughts we are thinking and will greatly affect the energy we are attracting back into our lives. In other words, when you think a thought, it travels into the universe looking for the same energy frequency as itself. If you put a lot of emotion into the thought, it will reappear back in your life quickly, bringing to you the quality you originally sent out. If your thought was positive and filled with emotions of joy, expectation and happiness, you will draw into your life, that which you desired. If you were angry and your thought was damaging or destructive, an unhappy event or happening is what you will eventually reap in your own life.
The past represents opportunities that are no longer available to us. The past represents things that we drew to us then and reflects the kind of thinking and expectation we had then. The future, on the other hand is open, untouched, a chapter not yet written, a vision not yet manifested. The future will depend on what kings of things you think and expect in the moment called now. By living in the moment, you will find your greatest power and your greatest ability to product and manifest what you want to experience and have in the future. By living in the moment, you can experience the joy, happiness and abundance of the present. You can draw to you the most positive, abundance and life-affirming events and happenings in the future by inwardly knowing them in the now.
Can you truly prove the Law of Attraction? Can you prove it is real? Yes, of course, and we'll talk more about that in our next visit together.

Blessings all,

2008 Mercury Retrograde Periods - What is Mercury Retrograde?

2008 Mercury Retrograde Periods

What is Mercury Rx?

The earth turns on its own axis. Too, while turning on its own axis, it revolves around the Sun. The zodiac is a stationary belt that encircles the earth. We relate other planets to earth through their positions to the zodiac belt that surrounds earth. This imaginary belt is made up of 12-zodiac signs.

When Mercury appears to be traveling “backwards” in terms of the forward order of the zodiac signs, it is said to be retrograde. Planetary paths are not circles, per se, but ellipses.

Second Chances & Do-Over’s!!!

Three to four times a year, we enter another Mercury Retrograde (Mercury Rx) period. This is a time for pausing, stopping to catch your breath, for doing things over and for second chances. It is a period for review, for reconsideration and for learning from past mistakes.

On the side of caution, this is a time for safe and sane driving habits, for taking care of your motor vehicles and for scheduling repair work. You will want to be careful with communications of all kinds, including speech, mail, email and the written word. Make sure you say what you mean. Look for ways to correct, adjust, revamp, reschedule, repeat and refurbish.

Mercury Rx gives you the time you need to catch your breath, to revitalize, to reclaim and to nurture and nourish projects special to your heart. It can also be a time for improving relationships, for starting over and for recommitting.

Mercury Rx most often affects the house in your horoscope where the current Mercury is transiting. It also affects communication, short distance travel, some family matters, snail-mail, email, telephone calls, cell phone calls, electronic equipment, motorized vehicles and motorized equipment. It affects technology in general and conversations in particular. Think before you speak and make sure you are being understood and that you understand. Ask questions. Give explanations. Slow down. Take your time.

When negatively aspected in your personal horoscope, Mercury Rx will bring challenges, delays or reversals in one or more areas of your life. Your fax machine could break down and need repair, for example, or a preplanned trip to visit loved ones could be postponed or altered in some way. You may find that the postal service delivers your neighbor’s mail to you by accident or that you receive someone else’s bill, in your name, by mistake. This is a good time to get needed repairs, alterations or to change your mind.

When positively aspected in your personal horoscope, Mercury Rx will be a time period wherein you can catch up with your life and you will be able to get a lot of things done that had heretofore been problematic for you. Often, you can iron out any wrinkles in your life and gain understanding or insight with someone with whom you have had relationship difficulties. Mercury Rx will give you the opportunity to reexamine things and to chart out new paths or enlist the aid of others. You can mentor or be mentored. You can change directions or cancel something altogether.

You will function best during any Mercury Rx period, no matter how the aspects impact your life, by staying open-minded, by taking a breather and reflecting on your life and circumstances, and by being willing to change, manage or revise. Your free will and your ability to analyze and discern your choices in life will always be your greatest allies.
