Is it Really Real?
February 27th – March 5th, 2005
We are at the tail end of Pisces which means that the traits of Pisces will be dominant in all of us this week.
We know that each sign has its positive and negative attributes. Generally, Pisces is a positive month and a positive sign, and it offers us the opportunity to see things we don’t normally see, to have big visions and desires. But being that this is the last sign of the Zodiac, it has the least ego. While this has its obvious advantages, the downside is that Pisceans are at risk for lacking the drive to move forward.
They want, but what they do to get what they want doesn’t match the desire. Now this is a generalization, and I know plenty of motivated, successful Pisceans. The point is, this is the opportunity this week, to ask ourselves if we are working to the level our desires demand?
Another opportunity is to learn to tell the difference between reality and illusion. It’s what I spoke about two tune ups ago, the idea of seeing only half the picture. To refresh your memory, I was explaining that we never see the whole picture because we perceive with a limited state of mind. So, we need to acknowledge this by constantly telling ourselves there is something we don’t see.
Our inability to see hurts us. It’s what allows the illusions to take hold of us. It’s why a couple could live together for 30 years and one day realize they don’t really love each other. It’s why someone could invest years in a friendship to discover the person really could care less about them.
It’s about knowing what is real and what is illusion.
If you want to save yourself a lot of heartache and anxious uncertainty, begin training yourself to ask this question:
where is the illusion and where is reality?
Ask it all day, every day, for the entire week. Train yourself to think this way. The more you do it, the less you will make wrong decisions.
And when you learn to define illusion, it’s SO much easier to be proactive!
Just one more thing. I’ve received many thank you notes from readers of the weekly tune-ups. I know that many of you are reading the tune ups. But are you living them? This week’s tune up offers you a simple exercise that I hope you all will practice. Training yourself to constantly ask what is real/what is illusion will open your eyes to a whole new level. Please push yourself extra hard this week to get there. Your spiritual awakening is the best thank you I could receive.
All the Best,
