Secret Agendas
Secret Agendas Dear Readers, I'm sure you can tell from reading my weekly oracles that I love my job as a horoscope columnist. It allows me to continually deepen my spiritual understanding and refine my practice of astrology. It dares me to be very curious about the world around me and find ever-fresh sources of inspiration. It pushes me to become a better writer and teaches me endlessly new lessons about how to create poetry that's useful to people. Best of all, writing "Free Will Astrology" allows me to compose regular love letters to the 12 different signs. Sometimes that's a scary burden. Because my personal life goes through phases like everyone else's, there are weeks when I don't feel particularly generous or sweet or excited about finding the exact truth you need to hear. But most of the time I relish the challenge of proving my love for you. I'm honored and inspired. I'm inflamed with the desire to express affection and bestow blessings. And when I am in this elevated state, I am best able to carry out my two secret agendas. My first secret agenda is to convince you that you are potentially a genius, and that all the instructions you need to become that genius have been encoded in you like a seed since before you were born. In the words of psychologist James Hillman, this "seed" is your soul's code -- the blueprint of your mission here on Earth. I believe it is your birth right to know and express your soul's code. My second secret agenda is to persuade you that you have the power and the privilege to enjoy regular conversations with the Goddess, or God, or whatever name you use for the Universal Intelligence. It is your birth right to wake up every morning and slip into an intimate conversation with the Divine Wow in which you ask Her specific questions about what exactly you need to do that day in order to activate more of your soul's code -- and She gives you a very specific answer. So now you know the truth -- the covert purposes of my column. My book, THE TELEVISIONARY ORACLE, explores these same themes in more spacious detail than I'm able to do in my weekly love letters. That's why, in the hope of promoting my two secret agendas, I encourage you to read it. For the next few weeks, I will be excerpting passages from THE TELEVISIONARY ORACLE here on my Web site. Maybe that'll encourage you to buy it, or maybe you'll get all you need just from reading it here. Either way, I am grateful for your attention and for the opportunity you give me to steadily refine my love nature. As the Hindus say, Namaste! Meaning: I greet the God within you! |
