Spiritual Insights
Everyone is searching frantically for
the secret to put an end to all the
devastation and calamity currently
happening globally. It seems like the
world is about to cave in with all the
talk of the economy and who's to blame
for what. The planetary energies are
becoming very intense this month.
Conflict and anger top the news on all
fronts, in every area, the economy,
health care, threats of terrorism, stock
market down, and the banks collapsing. I
began to deeply search for the answers
to unravel the mystery of what is truly
happening. It seems so hard to stay
centered in this unbalanced world. When
the astrological aspects are really
difficult, as they certainly are right
now, it is hard for all of us to stay on
track.
What I believe the entire chaos is all
about is to get us to begin our
searching for answers, but the more we
keep searching for our answers in the
external world the more and more
frustrated we will become. This year of
radical change is actually the year of
spiritual transformation. There has been
so much talk about the secret and tools
for transformation to achieve your goals
and more money in life. But I found it
extremely interesting just how cleverly
the true secret was hidden in the movie
"The Secret." I believe in all the tools
and techniques mentioned in the movie,
but they carefully sidestepped the
answer to what the secret really is.
The secret is GOD! It is so sad that
today we are afraid to say this word,
God. WHY? It all goes back to all the
religious persecution. It has been going
on since recorded history. We all have a
differing belief in what God is to us,
so we have many names now for God.
Around metaphysical groups they are more
comfortable with the words Spirit, Life
Force, Universal Force, Cosmic
Consciousness, Supreme power, Infinite
Spirit, Infinite Intelligence, Infinite
Presence within, Source energy, Love,
and around the spiritualist they prefer
Divinity or the Divine, Christ
Consciousness, or Jesus. All of us have
different words that express the same
exact thing. This is no secret at all,
but it has been abandoned because there
has been so much hostility and
negativity around religions and
spirituality. It has diverted people
from the most significant thing that we
all need so desperately right now. The
secret is actually the realization that
God is the source or the power that is
within us that does all the work and is
the answer to all our problems.
Okay, this may still sound vague and
unattainable just to know God is the
secret that gives us everything we need.
Once you understand that you and God are
one and the same, then you will
understand you have the power to master
and do anything. Now that you know what
the secret is, let me explain what to do
with this information. I know all my
clients are looking for answers, so I
know you need this information now. This
will work like magic in your life. I
have testimonials already with the
clients I have worked with on a personal
level. These are all outlined in my new
book. Use these steps and the results
will speak for themselves. Please share
this information with anyone you know
who needs help right now.
Follow
these, step-by-step, and you can create
anything using the Power within You.
1) Look at your life responsibly. Do not
blame anyone or anything for the
condition you are in. If you begin
blaming, then you are a victim and
resentments crop up preventing you from
achieving your goals and happiness.
2) Focus on your intent; be clear and
decipher the one thing you want to
achieve, with right intention and a
steady focus.
3) Realize that you have the Power of
God within you to help you achieve your
goals. Ask that you be divinely guided
as to what is necessary for you to be
open and allow your highest power to
assist you in accomplishing your set
intention.
4) Let go of any past emotional baggage
that may be hindering your growth. Ask
that the higher power within you
dissolve your inner blocks due to
outgrown beliefs based on your past
hurts, and how you have been wronged.
This only holds you back in every area
of your life. Fear, hate, bitterness,
resentments, jealousy and guilt are the
emotional issues that are road blocks to
your success. Ask the divine to help you
rid yourself of these poisons. It is the
Ego that feels pain, resentments,
judgment, fear it fights, defends and
argues for it is not our true essence.
God or source is our true essence.
5) You must have Faith and Trust that
your request will be answered. Have
absolutely no doubt, have total
confidence, and it will come through.
You cannot doubt the Almighty Power.
6) Make positive plans for a better
future. Write out all the details. You
must concentrate on a solution to your
problems. You cannot concentrate on your
problems and how bad they are, you must
only dwell on a positive outcome and
different paths to achieve this
solution.
7) Ask in prayer that you be divinely
guided to the correct answer. Do not try
to control the situation. There are many
ways that the result you seek can be
achieved and probably you cannot even
imagine the way that your goal will come
about for you. The only thing you must
do is TRUST that it will come, even
though you have no idea how it can come.
8) Watch your thoughts and very
specifically your speech. Pay attention!
You will be surprised what will come out
of your mouth. Negative thoughts and
speech must be curtailed at once.
9) If you have a repetitious negative
thought you must break the pattern with
affirmations. To break a repetitious
thought you must repeat a repetitious
sound by saying out loud over and over a
positive phase contrary to the negative
thought. Do not give up with this. It
works!
10) Stay connected to Divine spirit
through meditation each day. At least 5
minutes. Quiet the mind, focus on the
breath and listen. If meditation is hard
for you, acquire meditation CDs . Find
the ones you really like and stick with
them. Being part of your spiritual life
will connect you to the spirit of God
within, and your problems will dissolve.
11) After the above techniques are done
you must learn to then release all
expectation and control to the Divine.
Say, "May thy will be my will." We think
we are so smart and have all the
answers, but we cannot see the big
picture and cannot see what is truly in
our best interest. So we must allow the
highest power that knows all to choose
what is best for us. Release it and let
it go. You will know when you have truly
done this because you will feel a true
sense of peace come over you. In
submission to your will, you will find
power you have never dreamed of. The
question to find the will of God is
always answered in the asking. You will
be guided to peace and serenity and
solutions.
12) To get an answer, turn over your
request to that center of quietness
knowing that the answer will emerge.
Many times the answer will come within
an hour, a week or later, but it always
comes when you are preoccupied with
something else.
13) The best time to instill the power
of the mind is to instill the things you
want to create in your mind right before
falling asleep. You are impregnating
what you want to manifest into your
subconscious when you do this. During
sleep these ideas will gestate and your
deeper mind will determine how these
things will come to you.
14) After you have achieved your success
you must remember to give back to the
world. You will find meaning and purpose
to your life as you teach and give
others the opportunity to achieve their
goals. Life is meant to have meaning and
purpose and to promote others to grow in
this capacity. It will give your life
meaning and purpose. Do this in love and
compassion and you have fulfilled your
destiny. This is easy to do when you
realize you are part of the oneness and
unconditional love that is God. All your
perceived pain and suffering will
disappear. You will have a life full of
love, joy and happiness.
[In light of these difficult times,
I've created a new type of astrology
reading to help you discover your
Karmic Destiny and achieve
Self-Realization. Learn more about
this new reading near the bottom of
this newsletter.]
Below are some excerpts taken from an
inspirational book I recommend for
spiritual awareness entitled,
"Miracle
Power for Infinite Riches."
The book's author is Joseph
Murphy.
You may use this link to access "Miracle
Power for Infinite Riches" available
from Amazon.com. It is still
definitely worth the read!
"The greatest secret is that the Kingdom
of God is within Man, which means that
infinite intelligence, boundless wisdom,
infinite power, infinite love and the
answer to every problem under the Sun
are locked in his own subconscious mind.
People are looking for the greatest
secret in the world everywhere but
within themselves. Begin now to tap into
these tremendous powers within you, and
you will begin to lead a full and happy
life based on God.
Poverty is a mental disease; wealth is a
state of mind. Your thought and feeling
control your destiny.
You are truly rich when you are
acquainted with the infinite power
within you which is called God. You are
truly rich when you know your thought is
truly creative, that what you feel you
attract and what you imagine you become.
Whatever we focus our attention on, the
subconscious magnifies exceedingly.
Thought is creative of things.
You must be a good executive when using
your mind. Turn your request over to
your subconscious with faith and
confidence, and you will get the
appropriate response. You know when you
have really turned it over, because you
are at peace. "I let go and let God
take over, bring about the perfect
answer."
The law of the subconscious is to
increase any idea implanted into it. The
experience of the negative thinker will
attract more and more loss. You can't
think evil and reap good no more than
you can think good and reap evil.
True faith is the combined use of your
conscious and subconscious mind
scientifically directed for a specific
purpose.
Resentment and hostility are mental
poisons that rob you of vitality,
enthusiasm, and energy. Come to a
decision forget the past and saturate
your mind with Divine Love, peace, and
harmony. Realize Divine love dissolves
everything unlike itself.
Self-condemnation and self criticism are
destructive mental poisons that send
psychic puss all over your system,
leaving you a psychic and mental mess.
Decide to engrave the subconscious mind
with the idea of wealth. Ideas are
conveyed to the subconscious by
repetition, faith, and expectancy. God
is the source of my supply, and all my
needs are met at every moment of time
and point in space. God's wealth flows
freely, joyously and ceaselessly into my
experience and I give thanks for God's
riches forever circulating my
experience.
Never finish a negative statement about
finances. Reverse it immediately in your
mind by affirming "God is my instant and
everlasting supply, and the bill is paid
in divine order." If negative thought
comes to you fifty times in one hour,
reverse it each time by thinking, God is
my instant supply, meeting that need
right now. Your thoughts make you
wealthy or poor. Choose the riches of
life right here and right now. Your
thoughts are creative. Never talk about
lack, limitation, or being poor or
unable to make ends meet. Never engage
in thinking of lack limitation,
loneliness, and frustration. With God
all things are possible. Persevere and
you will find that the images will be
deposited in the subconscious, which
will bring them to pass.
Look to the real source of wealth which
is God. The master key to disciplining
the mind for money is to come to a clear
cut decision once and for all that God
is the source for everything you see in
the Universe, and that everything that
people have made came out of the mind of
God. "
Planetary Predictions
I want to start out with a quote from
the great guru preceptor Paramahansa
Yogananda from the "Autobiography
of a Yogi" to set the stage for
the astrological predictions for April
2009.
"Occasionally I told astrologers to
select my worse periods, according to
planetary indications, and I would still
accomplish what ever task I set myself.
It is true that my success at such times
has been preceded by extraordinary
difficulties. But my conviction has
always been justified: faith in divine
protection, and right use of man's
God-given will, are forces more
formidable than are influences flowing
from the heavens."
March was the beginning of the many
changes that are yet to come this year.
The good news is, I believe once we make
it to May we will experience some peace
in this turbulent time. In the months of
May, June and July, Jupiter will enter
into the sign of Aquarius for a brief
time. This will give us a glimmer of
hope and sense of peace from all the
conflict and fear. These three months
will be a brief intermission for the
fall will probably be even more
difficult. But we still have the month
of April to get through, and it won't be
easy! April will be a turbulent month.
There are fears of social uprisings and
civil wars threatening our world.
04/04/2009 Mars will oppose Saturn,
and Pluto turns retrograde. This
indicates extreme setbacks in our
progress as a country. It feels like a
repeat of the 1960's. Racial tension and
extremism are on the rise, and warfare
is a problem on a global level. It will
definitely be climatic, with conflict
appearing everywhere. This is a very
difficult day and caution is necessary
on all fronts. As Pluto stations and
turns retrograde it is hovering on the
Ascendant for the USA chart I have been
using. This degree of around 8 degrees
of Sagittarius was the degree transiting
Mars and Ketu conjoined on September
11th, 2001.
04/06/2009 Mercury enters Aries and
Uranus enters Pisces. There will be a
considerable shift in awareness
worldwide. Mercury will be in Aries till
the 23rd of this month promoting
progress in business. Yes we can
attitudes prevail and kick start all
social affairs. Mercury is traveling in
top speed forward now and is a great
time to proceed with signing contacts
and initiating new projects. Uranus will
be in Pisces for about the next 7 years.
This will open minds to new realities
never before considered acceptable.
Awareness of life and intelligence on
other planets will come into acceptance
under this transit through the sign of
Pisces. This is the beginning! I believe
it is relative to the shift associated
with the year 2012.
04/13/2009 Sun enters Aries opening a
feeling of new birth and beginnings. The
world seems to be going through a
transformation. The symbolism of Easter
will have a new meaning for our world.
04/14/2009 Mars enters Pisces and
conjuncts Uranus 04/15: This is a
radical event that shifts the Earthly
energy. Uranus rules earthquakes and
combined with Mars will cause unexpected
events of this nature. Expect the
unexpected on this day! Earth changes
such as earth quakes, outbreaks of war
and attacks, and possible airline
fatalities. Mars in combination with
Uranus can indicate problems with
machinery too. Back up your computer and
have your car serviced.
04/17/2009 Venus turns direct 5 degrees
Pisces: Venus' sojourn through the sign
of Pisces has deepened our
relationships. It will remain in Pisces
through May. Venus is exalted in this
sign and gives more depth and feeling to
all our relationships. The house you
have Venus in transit will activate your
creativity in this area of life.
Interest in movies, film and the arts in
general are activated and enhanced. For
most, issues needed to be healed in
their relationships will surface and be
addresses in a positive way. You may
find an old love contact you, for you to
take a closer look at what went wrong.
04/21/2009 Venus conjunct Mars can cause
an instant attraction. Passion and love
fill the air now.
04/22/2009 Mercury square Jupiter will
give you the push needed to initiate
action to achieve a goal you have been
postponing. You may be hesitant to
travel but it would definitely do you
some good to have a change of scenery.
04/24/2009 New Moon 11 degrees Aries:
This will give the following month of
May an entirely different feeling from
the difficult start initiated with this
year. New beginnings and hope returns to
the business world.
04/25/2009 Mercury square Neptune: This
aspect can cloud judgment. Hold off a
day or two from this day for things may
not be as they appear. It is a good time
to take off and relax, because today may
be counterproductive to getting any real
work done.
04/26/2009 Mars square Pluto: This is a
difficult day in government affairs.
Major disruption and possible explosions
disturb the peace. The housing markets
come under scrutiny and despair. There
still has been no real solution. I
expect the bottom in this area will fall
out in the fall as Mars goes into
Cancer.
04/28/2009 Ketu aspects Mars (9th): This
is more of an indication of the
government's unsavory handling of the
banks and housing markets. It is in part
the destruction of the American dream of
a home. It is disturbing family life and
security.
April is a very difficult time for
President Barack Obama. Mars will
conjunct Uranus and this will oppose his
natal Mars in his 8th house. His public
appeal will plummet. This is a very
harsh and dangerous aspect. His health
may be a serious concern due to all the
stress and pressure of this year. It
can be indicative of extreme turbulence
in America.

Excerpt From My Book "Awaken to the Power Within You"
Self-Realization
|
Through understanding ourselves, we can
come to self-realization which is our
destiny or eternal quest, meaning
through ourselves we will find God.
Jesus stated, "The kingdom of God in
within you." Have faith that the truth
will be revealed to you, giving your
life meaning and purpose. All religions
state this simple truth, no matter what
symbol you pray to, or meditate on to
get there, whether it is the saints of
Catholicism or the deities of Hinduism.
They are symbols that represent an
energy we need to give us meaning,
focus, and direction. Don't get caught
up in the semantics of words or symbols.
It is the energy we give to the symbol
that is our truth. The truth is all
there is, and there is only one essence
that gives the feeling of completion and
unconditional love. There is no proving
this to anyone when you know it and feel
it.
There is no proof necessary to the
believer, and there is no amount of
proof possible for the non-believer. The
connection to this Divine force we call
God is indescribable. There is no reason
to doubt or judge others, because to
doubt others is really our own
self-doubt. This is the experience we
all yearn for, and this is what will
heal our lives and the world. This is an
inner journey we must all make alone.
When we receive this experience, it
reflects to others and makes a shift in
the entire consciousness in the world.
The way you can start to connect with
the Divine is to start meditating a
little every day. Take time to reconnect
with your inner spirit that is connected
to the vast spirit of God. You will
start to have a sense of the mystical,
and you will get a clearer picture of
yourself and your purpose. No one can do
it for you. You must put in the effort
to experience the Divine. The only
requirement is faith. This will give
peace in a time of chaos.

Karmic Destiny & Self-Realization
A New Vedic Astrology Reading by Joni
 During
these difficult times on the planet Joni
has devised a special reading for those
who feel they cannot experience the
break through needed to achieve their
goals. The reading is called the Karmic
Destiny and Self-Realization. During a
one hour session, Joni will focus on
your own personal destiny and what is
needed to break through these barriers
to find your own personal bliss. First
comes a close look at Rahu and Ketu
within your birth chart to discover your
karmic destiny; what you came here to
learn and grow through. That is followed
by a complete analysis of your navamsha
chart to reveal the fruits of your life.
The navamsha chart is the 9th harmonic
of the birth chart and reveals your
life's true potential, particularly for
your spiritual growth. In India the
birth chart is never analyzed without
the reference to the navamsha chart. The
birth chart is considered to be the tree
and the navamsha is the fruit of the
tree. The potential in a chart cannot be
predicted without the indications being
present in the navamsha chart. The one
thing that is required with this reading
is an accurate birth time because the
navamsha chart is specifically based on
time.
Your reading will be recorded to a CD
which will be mailed to you after the
consultation, along with the astrology
charts Joni uses during your reading.
