A DOUBLE PROMISE REVEALS ITS INNER AND OUTER MEANINGS

25th degree of Aries (24°- 25°)ARIES 25
We can only ever attract life situations in keeping with our expectations, so optimism has to become a constant disciplined practice, the exaltation of which is faith. Living in faith is a revelation, the disclosure of vast and wonderful possibilities. We learn to live differently - head in the clouds, feet on the earth - what Sufis describe as being in the world but not of the world.

Sensibility |
We get what we want, or we will come to want what we get
Whenever we fully access the information made available to us through our senses, and feel into the implications, then we experience greater sensibility. Resourcefulness is the result. Since few people are able to do this, one who does gains an edge. Misuse of this ability is a compromise of personal integrity – chicanery is better avoided. Whenever we are thwarted, we have the ability to find alternative options. Some of these will have equal or even greater value to us. Noticing this allows us to grow in trust that everything always turns out well in the end. The double promise is that we get what we want, or we will come to want what we get. There is skill and wisdom in learning when to move from the first to the second. Looking beneath the surface of this life-affirming idea, we may see how it readily applies itself to the process of optimising cooperative endeavours. Cooperation often asks us to moderate or put aside our own track of activity. With the full confidence that the unexpected always eventually leads us true, we have no difficulty bending a little. We gain the ability to turn all of our negative ideas and feelings around, confident that better things are coming. Everything can be seen as pertinent – to test and train us – to assist our process of learning how to measure our own needs against those of others, and seek equality rather than advantage. That we can gain advantage is a false concept. What suits our long-term well-being best is to live in balance; advantage disturbs that balance, and might lead to a distorted perception of self as having greater importance than another. Having reached a high degree of satisfaction with the way we are, we seek less and less to externalise our conflicts. We deal inwardly with the ever-present dualities. It is still extremely helpful to engage with others whose life-view differs radically from our own, and yet we seek cooperation rather than competition. Everything needs to find its balance, and this is more explicitly enacted in cooperative endeavour than elsewhere. So we can learn how to find it within ourselves from finding this balance with others. The optimist sees set-backs as cl ear symbols of a better situation approaching, and begin actually to look out confidently for this newly-expected good fortune. Of course, this anticipation of success speeds up the process and quickly attracts hard evidence of its realisation. |
