The Sun Is The Source Of Power
Author: Sam Geppi (Sadasiva)  | Posted: 24-03-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 47 | Rating: (53)  (?) 
The sun is the source of power in the astrology chart and in life. Without the sun there is no life whatsoever. If the sun exploded or stopped shining, everything would die very quickly. With all of our modern sophistication, it it's amazing how most people do not remember this simple fact.
As such, it is the qualities of the sun in our birth chart and by transit that shows the nature by which we seek to access our personal strength and power.
Through the prism of the ego the infinite light of the sun gets filtered, leaving parts of our psyche in darkness. Once we begin living a more examined life our inner sun begins to illuminate the dark corners of our soul. Once illuminated, these darker parts of our self become resurrected.
There's a classical yoga story that illustrates this point. It is the story of the snake and the rope. In darkness a coiled rope may have the appearance of a snake. If we encounter this coiled rope we may react as if we have seen a snake: by fearfully jumping out of the way, with our heartbeat racing, etc. For all intents and purposes, in that moment the rope IS a snake. Yet if we produce a flashlight and shine it upon the coiled rope, all of our symptoms disappear - the truth is revealed. Nothing more needs to be done. The appearance of light removes darkness and magically our imagined symptoms disappear. Additionally, once we see the truth we don't forget. After we realize that the coiled rope is not a snake, we don't then forget this and react in fear again after we turn flashlight off. No, we remember - and if we are smart, that experience changes us and gives us insight into the nature of our illusory perceptions.
This is the nature of the sun, to separate us from the darker parts of our being. The sun refers to the greatest possibility we have, the possibility of enlightenment. Yet it requires enormous sacrifice, in fact the ultimate sacrifice. What is that sacrifice? It requires us to sacrifice those familiar shadows of self that we hang onto, those shadows of the ego that gives us a sense of worldly identity. Living in full power and full clarity is a scary prospect, because it demands we grow up and become responsible for who we are now and where we're going, rather than hang onto the disempowering blame assessed to the perpetrators in our past. As long as we are still a victim, living in the past, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes, marching lockstep in accordance with our negative programming. Of all the planets, the sun refers to all we are becoming and are true desire to be self actualized. That's self actualization begins with reclaiming the reins of personal strength, power and integrity.
The sun just entered Pisces on March 14. The sun in Pisces offers a great opportunity for us to dig deeper into mystical teachings, religion and spirituality as a means of self actualization. Creativity, music, teaching and all forms of inner expansion will be supported until April 13, when the sun enters Aries - where the cycle begins again. Pisces is the sign of completions, returning home, liberation, freedom from bondage and an egoistic self-identity.
There will be a solar eclipse March 19 at approximately 3:33 GMT, that is about 10:30 p.m. EDT on Sunday, March 18 - 7:30 p.m. PDT on Sunday, March 18. During this time it would be very beneficial to meditate on your emerging spiritual progress and to internally declare what you're willing to sacrifice toward that emerging spiritual path. This positive intention will be particularly powerful during this time.

Weaving Happiness Into our Relationships With Others
By: Dick Rauscher | 12/10/2008
Love is not a feeling, it is a behavior. Unfortunately our behaviors toward those we love are too often determined by our primitive ego. As a result our words say "I love you" but our behaviors are hurtful. We have to learn to be loving regardless of how we might be feeling in the moment.

Gayatri is the root cause or substratum of all material objects and because of its existence there is movement, energy, advancement, inspiration and conversion in the inert-conscious world. Just as the machine called radio in one’s house contacts the all-pervasive ether vibrations in the cosmos, which helps one to hear radio broadcasts not only of one’s own country but of other countries too.
