Many months ago I read what was written by Rob Brezny, syndicated astrologer, and it's stayed with me ever since: "SACRED ADVERTISEMENT. You're a star--and so am I. I'm a genius--and so are you. Your success encourages my brilliance, and my charisma enhances your power. Your victory doesn't require my defeat, and vice versa. Those are the rules in the New World--quite unlike the rules in the Old World, where zero-sum games are the norm, and only one of us can win each time we play. In the New World, you don't have to tone down or apologize for your prowess, because you love it when other people shine. You exult in your own excellence without regarding it as a sign of inherent superiority. As you ripen more and more of your latent aptitude, you inspire the rest of us to claim our own idiosyncratic magnificence."
As the secular New Year has arrived I encourage you to muse about the meaning of this Sacred Advertisement in your own lives and review the degree to which you're allowing yourselves to exult in your own excellence without regarding it as a sign of inherent superiority. Afterall, 2008 is the year of "commencement", the year of "10" or "1", the year that we begin to operate as a humanity from the perspective of the "feminine", "receiving" more than "figuring out", "allowing" rather than "forcing".
Happy New Year!

I love this concept. I have never been one to feel superior when I feel good about something I have accomplished. Maybe it is because I was raised in a very non-competitive family, but I always feel better when my friends shine as well. I love seeing people's brilliance. What I don't enjoy is when people belittle themselves and make themselves small. I feel like we are all like spokes on a wheel of light and we all contribute to the brilliance in our own way.

Sorry Kaya, I don't know how to delete the duplicate post. There is a lot more I'd like to learn about how to use the blog technically effectively.
