There are beautiful feelings in your soul that you can’t put into words and ugly thoughts that enter your conscious awareness when you least expect them.
Feeling is your first language. It’s the one you understand best and you act on your feelings. They set you in motion and you go where they take you.
Your feeling world is the outcome of evolutionary experience: it’s not a chance arrangement of neurochemicals.
At the start of your journey your soul had no consciousness. It was equipped with the will to live, polarity and a potential to develop states of consciousness. Since then your impersonal soul permanently saved in memory the feelings associated with its life experience.
These feelings were embedded with desire, have a harmonious or discordant quality and possess psychokinesis/telekinesis and the power to attract similar experiences. Constantly repeated experience built thoughts and feelings having the same or similar vibratory rates into dynamic thought-cell groups.
So your feeling world is an inherited predisposition – a legacy of your pre-human life experience. You call it your mind and it’s unique – a one-of-a-kind creation.
You view the world and your life through the lens of your mind.
The thoughts and feelings that constitute your conscious mind represent a small portion of your soul’s total consciousness. Your lower animal impulses and higher sentiments are states of feeling that reside in your not-conscious (unconscious) soul-mind. The trend of your conscious thinking mirrors the trend of your not-conscious thinking.
The streaming process that facilitates the downloading of thought data from your not-conscious soul-self to objective awareness is made possible by electromagnetic energy produced by your brain and nervous system.
So your not-conscious soul-mind – not your brain – is the realm of thoughts, feelings and impulses. It’s where thoughts wrestle for domination and those that win stream into your objective consciousness to become the chief thoughts on your mind. Persistent, habitual thoughts and feelings become your moods and your moods become your temperament.
Your task as the clever thinker is to manage your mind. When you’re controlled by your mind you’re a slave to undisciplined feeling. You have to control ignoble impulses and resist unworthy thoughts. This requires an understanding of your feelings, their constructive and destructive qualities, birth chart knowledge, the mobilization of energy and an elevated sense of purpose.
Your birth chart
Your birth chart is a map of your mind or character at the time of your human birth: and your thoughts and feelings have the same vibratory rate as their astrological correlates.
The ten planets identify ten dynamic thought families and they’re associated with departments of life, mapped by the houses. Previous experience gave them a mode of expression and your conditioning by environment after your birth civilized/trained them to express in a human-life setting.
Your birth chart is an interactive technology that allows you to link thoughts and feelings with their astrological markers and environmental triggers. And it’s only when you associate a thought and feeling with its birth chart markers that you can learn about your mind and engage in effective self-examination.
Your mind hosts ten thought families…
… and your birth chart provides inside information on their strength, functional status and frame of reference or environmental trigger.
