In the beginning was the Word!

Experience is going to be a word you'll here in my writings a lot. I'm not one to take the knowledge of someone else and let it be my truth. My interest in astrology and esoteric knowledge and practices came about because of an intense desire to know for myself the ins and outs of ME. I wanted to know what influences my life. Of course I focused mainly on the bad stuff that was happening, we all tend to do that. And because I wanted the bad stuff to stop I was looking for something that would change it.
In the process of finding these answers, I also found a whole range of beautiful things about myself that inspired me to seek a balance. Well, lets be honest, I wanted the good stuff, I was tired of the bad. I became open to qualities that were latent in me that had been hidden under the difficult challenges I was experiencing. These positive qualities that I dared to own, changed my standpoint about myself. And I was able to see how those difficult challenges made me more solid in myself.
I use Astrology as a tool to understand what influences are active in my life. It is a language in itself. And I'm inviting you to learn the language and find what's active in you. Astro Logical will not only be about astrology. You will be privy to my spiritual experiences through meditations and regression practices, and self reflection and awareness. You will see articles on the type of meditation I do and much more.

The following article will have a foundation for astrology that many people are not aware of. I'm hoping that you will come to value these foundations and open yourselves to a craft that does have integrity. That integrity has just been buried under a bit of goo! In the process this knowledge will expand your consciousness of yourself.
My ultimate aim is to have you see yourself from a much wider standpoint and have a palette of influences at your disposal that perhaps you never knew were there. Afterall YOU are the center of your own universe and everything you see and do is the result of your experiences up till now. And you act or react as a result of those experiences.
There is a quote I use by Samuel Sagan MD, "You don't change by solving your problems, you solve your problems by changing." So maybe you can step into something that will serve you and facilitate the changes you want.

A fine piece, leaves me salivating for more.
Your consciousness exudes here, and you and I agree on all of the points you have made. I do want to learn more about astrology, because the finer points have eluded me. I understand what you have sent me, and see the relationships--but how they truly affect me have yet to come to clarity.
Waiting impatiently,

I like that: You don't change by solving your problems, you solve your problems by changing. That's really good.
A wonderful start. I'm looking forward to more! This is going to be a fun place I think.

Right on track as far as I am concerned, am I on your wave length? We are the sum of our experiences and choices. There are influences in our lives, but ultimately, it's "us" that matters, what we believe, that shapes us. We can shape and alter our beliefs.
Hooray! Finally all your wisdom in one spot where we can all learn and grow from it :) Congrats and looking forward to reading much much more.
I love your new site Jewels! I will be looking around. Nice to see Pam Grundy here too!
It's wonderful to get your responses. I hope you enjoy the articles, and start delving into your astrology charts.
Hey Julie this is gorgeous and the site is easy on the eye :)
