Right Thinking\u2014Right Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

One more time, for the fourth time in 2016, and this could not be more \u201ctime\u00adly\u201d!<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade is always a won\u00adder\u00adful oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to turn your mind back upon itself, to make some pre\u00adcious time for self-reflec\u00adtion. It is a time to bend your mind inwards so that you may con\u00adtem\u00adplate and self-cor\u00adrect. It is a gift and not an annoy\u00adance at all, for it is offered to you in order that you may con\u00adtin\u00adue your jour\u00adney of self-becom\u00ading, of rais\u00ading your con\u00adscious\u00adness as you learn to exer\u00adcise ever greater Mindfulness.<\/p>\n

The sign of Mercury\u2019s ret\u00adro\u00adgrade indi\u00adcates in what mat\u00adter and to what objec\u00adtive you should direct your Inner Sight now. For this cir\u00adcuitous round of ret\u00adro\u00adgrade, Mer\u00adcury will be mov\u00ading through the sign of Capricorn.<\/p>\n

The prin\u00adci\u00adpal mes\u00adsage of Capri\u00adcorn can be best summed up by one word, Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty<\/em><\/strong>. The ques\u00adtion that you must ask your\u00adself as Mer\u00adcury takes you inward is exact\u00adly this, \u201cHave you been respon\u00adsi\u00adble in your gath\u00ader\u00ading of infor\u00adma\u00adtion; Have you been dili\u00adgent in your exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion of the var\u00adi\u00adous facts, view\u00adpoints, teach\u00adings and truths by which you have formed your view of your world?\u201d And most impor\u00adtant\u00adly, \u201cHave you been respon\u00adsi\u00adble in your shar\u00ading of these facts, opin\u00adions, view\u00adpoints with the world around you as well\u201d?<\/p>\n

You jour\u00adney through an inte\u00adgral Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Hier\u00adar\u00adchy of Life-Con\u00adscious\u00adness-Spir\u00adit, with innu\u00admer\u00adable fel\u00adlow humans clus\u00adtered around, above and below your\u00adself. But this Rib\u00adbon of Light and Love extends far below you to less evolved life-forms yearn\u00ading to become \u201chuman\u201d, and equal\u00adly far above you too, into the realms of the Deva\u2019s or \u201cshin\u00ading ones\u201d to whom you look for guid\u00adance and inspi\u00adra\u00adtion. And this Hier\u00adar\u00adchy con\u00adtin\u00adues fur\u00adther onwards with\u00adout end, to the plan\u00adets, stars and galaxies\u2026and much more.<\/p>\n

Your jour\u00adney of self-becom\u00ading is aid\u00aded by those who extend their love and con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion to you from above, while you give and receive com\u00adfort with those who abide on your own human plane of con\u00adscious\u00adness. And so then equal\u00adly guid\u00aded by your true nature, that you are a pre\u00adcious spark of the One Divine, fol\u00adlow\u00ading your heart and High\u00ader Self, you will also reach below your\u00adself to extend your love and help to the innu\u00admer\u00adable life-forms below who look up to you with wonder.<\/p>\n

This Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Hier\u00adar\u00adchy of Life-Con\u00adscious\u00adness-Spir\u00adit is the Body and Life of the One, and because of this, the whole of Cre\u00adation is bound to one anoth\u00ader by the Love of the One for one and all. It is this that forms the true source of your expe\u00adri\u00adence and expres\u00adsion of Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty. You are here because you were and will always be Loved. And you are here to be Lov\u00ading too. You are cared for and have been guid\u00aded to become who you are\u2026And you in turn will care for many, many oth\u00aders for all your lives that were and are yet to be, for this is your nature, this is the Heart of all the teach\u00adings, \u201cYou are here to love one anoth\u00ader as you love yourself\u201d.<\/p>\n

The word Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly means \u201cyour abil\u00adi\u00adty to respond\u201d. But \u201cwhat\u201d is it that you are here to respond to you might ask. Most fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adly, you are here to be Respon\u00adsi\u00adble to this Hier\u00adar\u00adchy of Life-Con\u00adscious\u00adness-Spir\u00adit, and that means espe\u00adcial\u00adly on your own plane of learn\u00ading and lov\u00ading, you are here to take care of and be con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00adate towards your fel\u00adlow human beings. With regards to Mer\u00adcury, with regards to your thought-forms and com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtions, you must take respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty for what you do in this most pow\u00ader\u00adful realm of Consciousness.<\/p>\n

All in this Cre\u00adation are sub\u00adject to what is known as The Law of Kar\u00adma, of \u201ccause and effect\u201d. It is in fact how the Uni\u00adverse (or the One) brings about or fos\u00adters Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty! Quite sim\u00adply this law of the uni\u00adverse means that what you do, in any form, will return to you its author or cre\u00adator. The actions you take with regards to any oth\u00ader will come back to you. If you harm them, you will even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly suf\u00adfer in turn. And, this is equal\u00adly true for the thoughts that you think, and most espe\u00adcial\u00adly for the words and images that you \u201cshare\u201d.<\/p>\n

The sym\u00adbol of Mer\u00adcury, the Caduceus, was adopt\u00aded by the med\u00adical pro\u00adfes\u00adsion as its sign or sym\u00adbol. Like\u00adwise, in this realm of thought, it would be a great bless\u00ading if one and all fol\u00adlowed the truth embod\u00adied in the Hip\u00adpo\u00adcrat\u00adic Oath of med\u00adi\u00adcine with regards to thoughts and com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtions, the Heart and Soul of this teach\u00ading is this: \u201cFirst, do no harm!\u201d<\/p>\n

With regards to the recep\u00adtion and adop\u00adtion of infor\u00adma\u00adtion, data or \u201cfacts\u201d for your\u00adself, you must take the time to under\u00adstand the source or prove\u00adnance of this infor\u00adma\u00adtion. If you fill your mind with too many dis\u00adso\u00adnant, con\u00adflict-filled or neg\u00ada\u00adtive thoughts, you will turn away from the path of Light. Your mind will become cloudy and con\u00adfused, your thoughts shad\u00adowed and self-destruc\u00adtive, and you will lose your\u00adself in a web of dark\u00adness and fear.<\/p>\n

Like\u00adwise, and even more impor\u00adtant\u00adly, you must con\u00adsid\u00ader care\u00adful\u00adly the thought-forms you share, whether in speech, or writ\u00adings or post\u00adings, or what\u00adev\u00ader forms of com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion in which you par\u00adtake. If you spread mis\u00adbe\u00adgot\u00adten ideas, if you share half-truths or false\u00adhoods, you con\u00adtribute to the loss of clar\u00adi\u00adty and trust upon which your life and the lives of oth\u00aders depend. You are by act\u00ading in this man\u00adner being very, very irre\u00adspon\u00adsi\u00adble. If you do not con\u00adtribute to the Light of Love and Rea\u00adson, you will bring about deep\u00ader shad\u00adows; if you spread false\u00adhood and fos\u00adter hatreds, you turn away from your own true self, you turn away from love, and you do harm to your\u00adself and to many oth\u00aders as well.<\/p>\n

For it is from the fos\u00adter\u00ading and spread\u00ading of Lies that wrong actions fol\u00adlow, and so great harm will come to one and all by the will\u00adful and delib\u00ader\u00adate actions of some, as well as by the unknow\u00ading or uncon\u00adscious spread of these fears and dark\u00adness by the many who did not under\u00adstand what they did.<\/p>\n

But igno\u00adrance of the Law of Kar\u00adma is no excuse, nor will Jus\u00adtice be denied. You will reap what you sow, so choose wise\u00adly. If you do not know, real\u00adly know, if some\u00adthing is \u201ctrue\u201d or fac\u00adtu\u00adal, then do not pass it on, ever!<\/p>\n

A cacoph\u00ado\u00adny of false\u00adhoods is over\u00adwhelm\u00ading rea\u00adson and love in the world now. Choose to be a cham\u00adpi\u00adon of Light and Love. Do not har\u00adbor or hold onto neg\u00ada\u00adtive thoughts or half-truths. Do not share what is harm\u00adful or false, do not be used by the dark and destruc\u00adtive forces that are tear\u00ading your world apart.<\/p>\n

Let Mer\u00adcury take you on an inner jour\u00adney of Mindfulness.<\/p>\n

Choose to take respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty for what you know and understand.<\/p>\n

Let this turn\u00ading of Mer\u00adcury cleanse your mind of false\u00adhoods and fears.<\/p>\n

Help one anoth\u00ader by illu\u00admi\u00adnat\u00ading the shad\u00adows that cloud one another\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n

Think clear\u00adly by fol\u00adlow\u00ading the Wis\u00addom Ways that have stood the tests of time,<\/p>\n

Cen\u00adtered by the qui\u00adet con\u00adfir\u00adma\u00adtions of your own High\u00ader Self\u2019s lov\u00ading affirmations.<\/p>\n

Look to the Foun\u00adtain-Source of Truth found in the Ancient Teachings,<\/p>\n

The Ancient Wis\u00addom found\u00aded upon the Wis\u00addom of Love.<\/p>\n

This same Love is this Lumi\u00adnous Hier\u00adar\u00adchy of Life,<\/p>\n

Built and formed by Love, Trust and Sharing.<\/p>\n

Choose to stand in the Light, and<\/p>\n

Be a light for one another.<\/p>\n

Choose Rea\u00adson over Fear; Choose Love over Hatred.<\/p>\n

Live in Light,<\/p>\n

Live by Love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
