| | | | | | Hi Friend,
One of the biggest challenges for us on our journey of spiritual awakening, is the concept of separation. Are we unique and separate or are we just part of a mindless mass, like a school of fish?
We all like to feel special. We all like to feel that there is something unique about us, and while it is true that we are all connected on a spiritual level it can be sometimes be very disheartening as an individual to think that we are just a cog in a machine.
If it is true that we are all connected (and it is) what about our uniqueness? What about me? What makes me (and you) special? (This must be my Leo Moon writing today)!

| | My mentor Anya once asked me, "how do you know truth?" That is a very important question for each of us to ponder on our journey. How DO you know truth? How can you know anything is true?
The answer is that we feel it. We know truth, not because we see or hear it, but when we feel it. Each and every one of us knows when something is true or not, at a very deep level. We might ignore it, or deny it, but we always, always, know it. How many times after the fact, do we say to ourselves "I knew it"!!
As a spiritual being you have a built in 'truth' barometer. There is a reason I'm saying this, because it goes back to the main question of this newsletter:
Are you a special and unique individual?
or are you part of the one body of humanity?
The truth is.... (drum roll)
...you are BOTH.
This is really important for you to understand on your journey, because it shows that you are here for a reason, and that YOU, as an individual, matter. (Well ok if you're sharp you noticed I changed the question a bit. That shows you're paying attention - thank you for reading so far)!
Confused? Let's break it down. Originally I wrote "unique and separate" because most people speak of uniqueness and separation as though they are one and the same thing. They are not. In Soul Astrology - the astrology of wholeness - it is really important to understand this point so that we come to know how the energy of Divinity is being expressed uniquely through you.
Every finger on your hand is unique. No two human fingerprints are exactly alike. They have the capacity to act independently of one another, and this is essential for you to be able to fully function and perform the myriad tasks that you do with your hands each day. Yet at no time are your fingers ever separate from your body (I hope). Fingers: unique yes, separate no. Just like people.
Every human being is also unique. Have you ever seen two human faces exactly alike? Even identical twins are a little different, and each has their own unique fingerprints. So without doubt you ARE a special and unique individual. But does this mean you are also separate?
In Esoteric Astrology the Tibetan Master says that all disease is the result of the idea of separation. When we think of ourselves as separate, we often feel alone, isolated, and sometimes even small and powerless. The problems of the world can feel too much for us. The reason we feel so bad around the idea of separation, is because it is false. Our 'truth' barometer goes crazy!
The truth is that, even though you are a unique and special individual, your consciousness is part of the higher collective consciousness of humanity. Your consciousness is not separate, and never can be. You are part of the whole body of humanity.
So back to my earlier comment, does that mean you are part of a mindless mass, like a school of fish? (Sorry - that was a bit insulting to fish... I actually don't know that fish are mindless... I can't really recall having had a lifetime as a fish but I'm sure I have). You get my point though. It's easy to think that if we're all one, then we lack the capacity to act independently, or to think for ourselves. The idea of oneness can be scary sometimes. We can feel small, powerless and insignificant. So when we think of ourselves as losing our individuality in the teeming masses we might also feel bad. Why? Because again it is a false idea. Once again our truth barometer goes crazy!
The human mind swings between these two extreme ideas: on the one hand that we are totally separate from everyone else, and alone. On the other we are just part of a mass, like a cog in a machine, and that we don't matter. Both extremes make for pretty depressing thinking, and both are false. Yet the truth is in the middle: you are not alone, you are always connected to the collective consciousness of which you are a part, yet at the same time you are a unique individual and your experience is significant. You matter. Your unique individual experience informs and evolves the collective consciousness.
So if you were ever thinking that you were separate and feeling alone, or thinking that you don't matter and feeling insignificant, think again - and check your truth barometer!
