It takes a long time to grow young. - Pablo
Picasso
The birthday is an extremely important day to the
spiritual aspirant. Whether we realize it or not we do arrive at a
particular time and place for a specific reason. There is nothing random
about you being born on the date and time you were born.
For this reason we should treat our birthdays with real
reverence.
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.”-
Seneca.
On that special day our highest vision of our journey here
was born. We have all sorts of grand and magnificent potentialities and our
birthday is a time to reflect upon our highest image of our self. Realign and
centre ourselves.
Brutal honesty is needed on our birthday. Are we
progressing towards that highest vision? Are we loving more than we have in the
past? Are we more unconditional with our love? More on target? Are we evolving
the fastest? Most of us are not able to answer all these questions in the
affirmative. So if not, our birthday is the day to rededicate ourselves to the
real in us, with renewed vigour and renewed commitment.
100% of the shots you don't take don't go in. - Wayne Gretzky.
Make your birthday an
example for the rest of your life. Say to yourself "what would I do on a
perfect day? How would I live?" And then just follow your heart. In this way each birthday
becomes a visionary
precursor to the following few years.
We recommend you spend at least 1 hour in meditation or more on your
birthday. If you can, take a break from all your routines. If you are working,
ask for the day off. If you have a holiday, spend the day doing things to pamper
your soul. Be in nature. Go to the beach. Read a book. Listen. In silence.
Astrologers will tell you all sorts of things about your
birth date and your natural tendencies. We each are different players on the
same team, but we do play at different positions. This is how the team will be
the most powerful. Imagine what would happen if we were all the same, if we all
wanted to play at full back or full forward. It would be a mess. That is why our
birthday is so important. Every minute of every hour of every day, the world is
changing. The planets are aligned another way, the tides somewhere else. There
is not a moment that has passed that is the same as another and not one in the
future that will resemble another from the past. Our birthday shouts to us that
each of our paths are unique, and to value our experience, our intuition.
Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate
the future. - Marilyn Ferguson
We each are unique and magnificent creations. Born at
exactly the perfect time, with the most perfect of potentialities. As we
manifest our highest we make all of us a little better, a little higher, a
little happier.
Celebrate the joy of life, the wonder of you. You are
an awesome creation and a magnificent and glorious creator. Take the time on
your birthday to glance back at the journey so far, but to make yourself
more determined than ever to manifest your highest vision of yourself.
Our birthdays are our soul’s visionary days. Treat them
with reverence. Our special connection with the infinite is more powerful than
ever on our birthday.
