Gemini Adapts without Compromising by Misty-Eve*
June 5, 2009
"IF YOU ARE SECURE in your basic beliefs, then you can Adapt to change without compromising your beliefs."
The big emphasis on 'if you are secure' is because... that's the catch, isn't it?
How DOES one gain security in one's beliefs?
To say "I believe" is really saying "I don't know". However, when you investigate until you have personal experience, then you can no longer BELIEVE, because then you KNOW for yourself.
For example: Let's take the idea of the Aura, the energy field that exists in and around a living entity. When you've had personal experience in seeing the aura, then you can no longer believe in the possibility, because now you know it exists for yourself.
Therefore, I'd say that security comes when your Beliefs change to personal Knowledge.
We're still in the process of adapting and changing from the Age of Pisces where TO BELIEVE was the way to enlightenment, into the Age of Aquarius where TO KNOW for yourself is now the Way.
The energy of these two constellations overlap until the year 2012, and we are now feeling the polarity of these two concepts as some move to hang on to the Way of Belief, and others move into the new energy of the Way of Knowledge through personal experience.
This is an exciting time to be alive ... here at the beginning of the new age ... but also a tough time because the strength of our convictions are being tested to see if we can Adapt to change without compromising our own inner knowledge.
How strong are your convictions? Are they based in Belief or in the Knowledge you've gained from personal experience?
It's worth thinking bout

Gemini: "I THINK"
2nd Decan Influence: " ADAPTBILITY "
June 1 June 10
Adaptability is defined as the capacity to change oneself to new circumstances easily and to accept new conditions well.
"Gently eliminating all obstacles to his own understanding, he constantly maintains his unconditional sincerity. His humility, perseverance, and adaptability evoke the response of the universe and fill him with divine light."
~ Lao Tzu (c.604-531 B.C.) Chinese philosopher & mystic, founder of Taoism, from The Hua Hu Ching
"During periods of discontinuous, abrupt change, the essence of adaptation involves a keen sensitivity to what should be abandoned not what should be changed or introduced. A willingness to depart from the familiar has distinct survival value."
~ Peter F. Drucker (1909-) American managment guru, from Age of Discontinuity
"It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
~ Krishnamurti
What is required for effective change is continuity of sincere effort to release and let go of inefficient thought patterns from the past.
~ Doc Childre and Howard Martin, Freeze-Frame

STRENGTH AND COURAGE
It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubts.
It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.
It takes strength to share a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.
It takes strength to hide your own pain,
It takes courage to show it and deal with it.
It takes strength to stand guard,
It takes courage to let down your guard.
It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.
It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.
It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on a friend.
It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.
It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.
