Into the Mystic

Saturn is currently transiting Libra, bringing to center stage the issue of boundaries and balance, within relationships.

Some seem to be born with an understanding of what boundaries are, and utilize them with ease, throughout their lives.

Others, myself included, have had to work quite diligently to understand the meaning of boundaries and to utilize them in a manner that is non-projective.

Years past, I attended a Spiritual School of Healing for a time.

It was the philosophy of the founders of this school, that to become an effective conduit for healing for others, one must first heal, thyself.

When I entered this school, one of the issues that was constantly stressed to me during our self-work sessions, was BOUNDARIES.

Quite honestly, back then, I didn’t have any.

The word, meant nothing to me whatsoever, no matter how many times it was defined to me.

Yet others could see, even if I could not, that I was in desperate need of boundaries, and I am thankful for their daily enforcement of the necessity of developing boundaries for myself.

Many wise souls planted seeds with me back then, and while I did not have those seeds sprout until after my attendance period at this school, they did eventually come fully to flower, and I am so very thankful for those that cared enough about me, to badger me ceaselessly, on boundaries.

Setting boundaries really is about you, not, about any other.

I do not perceive boundaries as “walls or shields”, as I believe is quite a common perception in the collective.

If you truly have strong boundaries, and maintain them, there is never a need to deflect or prevent an energy of any nature from entering your space, nor is there a need to concern yourself with how another is utilizing their personal energy.

Boundaries are, a clean and concise definition, of your personal space.

They allow you to set within your energy patterns, what comes in, what goes out, and how you wish to utilize or bypass any energy incoming, regardless of if you should label it as “negative or positive, high or low”.

It simply does not matter,  for you yourself, through boundaries, determine the qualities of any energy within your space.

Keep your space tidy, and do not trespass the personal space of an other, and you shall master boundaries amazingly fast!

Following is an article I wrote a while ago, and I feel it is in context to developing and maintaining boundaries, and is an issue that tends to be overlooked, when doing depth work in the boundaries arena, for oneself.

If you are interested in developing better boundaries in your life, this article may be helpful to you, as there are many subjects that are not always easily identified as being directly connected to the area of boundaries, and I feel this is one of them.

If you have a lot of challenging aspects in your chart concerning relationships with others, or, if you are loaded up on Pisces, 12th house, or Neptune aspects, you too, should find this article of benefit. Service-oriented Virgo, this also could serve you.

Seeing the Pure Potential of Another yet Accepting Whom they are Today: A Tool for Individual and Collective Relationships

Service-oriented souls often share a common obstacle in their daily walk and one that is quite commonly overlooked.

Yet this obstacle is a real whammy until recognized, for it often is a factor in our daily life, and in our most intimate relationships.

Many whom tend to have personal boundary issues and suffer the ramifications of this through various forms of abuse often have this as a core issue.

On a larger scale, the collective often faces difficulties when lending their power to leaders and concepts, due to so many on the individual level making decisions, such as voting in a leader, based solely upon the possibility for the potential they see in this other, to be realized and made manifest.

Service-oriented Souls, have a tendency to perceive other Souls, based solely upon on their Pure Potential, yet this is only half, of the coin.

Many are unaware of this as it has been their natural way of being since birth, and have yet to make this possible connection as to why they continue in their interactions with others, to have not only disappointment and difficulties in their personal relationships, but also find themselves repeatedly disappointed with the ‘failures’ of those in authority positions that they have lent their support to.

Seeing the Pure Potential (which we often term the God Spark) in another, I attribute directly as to being the dynamic that allows one to assist others on their path to self-empowerment, healing and self-realization etc, regardless if a service-oriented person is completely conscious of embodying this dynamic.

With this dynamic, service-to-others types, are afforded the ability to freely Love, to be compassionate, and to be open and willing, to assist all Souls.

Yet the viewing of  pure potential, has need of being balanced by it’s helpmate, viewing and allowing whom another is Now, not just whom they may become.

Seldom is it wise to base one’s relationship with another based solely upon the others Pure Potential.

For most of us that see the Pure Potential within others, we cannot with accuracy know when the other person will CHOOSE to manifest said potential, within their self upon this plane.

It is likely if you have had, or currently are, within relationships based upon this in its unbalanced state, where it helpmate has not also been applied, you are stuck in a pattern with the other that leaves you constantly disillusioned and disappointed.

This is simply because when viewing the pure potential of the other person, you attached expectations to them (of whom they should be and how they should ‘act’ in some manner), based upon a possibilty they have of becoming, yet have not necessarily as of yet, manifested.

This is not serving to either party.

The other person is not able, or willing, to BE that which you wish them to be, or the Potential you see they may become, at this time.

And you, quite likely, are missing the opportunity of healthy, fulfilling relationships by closing the door to other opportunities, within the hopes, that this other, is going to become whom you want them to be.

This I feel is the core issue in most toxic relationships.

When we shift our view from solely the pure potential of another and allow ourselves to also see them as they are NOW, we utilize a valuable tool for the good of not only ourselves, but also for others.

If this article rings any bells for you, try my approach on for size.

I believe you will notice immediate improvement within your personal life and relationships.

You will also develop skills, allowing for clearer perceptions in your personal relationships and your relationship to the larger collective, which will save you much dissapointment in the future.

I choose to Honor and Bless, the Pure Potential within All, yet I also practice discernment within all of my relationships, be they personal or on a collective scale, allowing me to walk this Journey with the most effectiveness and ease possible, not only for myself, but also for others.

I invite you to share your thoughts. 🙂
