Gemini...The Archetype


Gemini
“I Think, Therefore I Am”

Motivated by mental curiosity and movement, Gemini  experiences life through relatedness. Relationships is the bases from which it works as an agent of harmony. It is primary concern is connectedness, teaching us that mutual harmony can exist through “a middle way.”

In the early development of Gemini the instinctual mind is in charge and a subjective view of life is experienced. This subjectivity creates a polarized thinking mind, seeing life from a filter of duality. Its only interest is how everything relates to oneself. At this level Gemini moves with no direct purpose or plan and a sense of scattered and ungrounded energy is how it navigates the world.

But as Gemini begins to build its “self”, its orientation shifts beyond the subjective mind to a more objective view of life. A greater awareness of others begins to form and an understanding that relationships are a shared interchange to connection. 

Gemini’s desire to seek knowledge also begins to emerge differently and develops its intelligent thinking into creative thinking. The instinctual mind gives way to the intuitive.

As the dual mind of Gemini continues to balance, consciousness awakens to an even more soulful view of life. What was once movement without purpose is now directed movement, and Gemini becomes aware of its actions in the world. Polarized and objective thinking evolves into synthesis of the mind where harmonizing ideas and thoughts become diplomacy for mutual understanding.

As these attunements to the soul develop, Gemini shifts from self-absorbed movement and thinking to universal flow. Linking the duality of man (and the mind) to the “middle way” bringing forth Right Human Relations.

When we modify or adapt to serve a new or different purpose, we transform. When we go beyond, rise above, overshadow or eclipse, we transcend what we were and become something new. When we take transformation of our physical or lower perceptions to their highest expressions, the spiritual or higher state of being determines how this energy is directed. The conversion of these energies causes an alchemical reaction that creates a new way of perceiving and experiencing our reality. The "leaden" lower self (body) connects to and serves the higher "golden" self (soul) -  this is the meaning of alchemy.

Uncertainty

When I choose to consciously sit in the uncertainty of the unknown I am brought into present time and into my physical body. Time slows, breathing is deepened, actions become deliberate and words are chosen with more intention. Vulnerability is on edge here in this place of uncertainty. Sensitivity is acute and tears are on stand by, ready to rise to any occasion. Yet, the beauty of this place is the humility and the grace that are the vessels of transportation ready to carry me to the next moment of life, if I let them. To move forward, I let go and let the unknown be my driver. I think about all the ways I try and control and predict my life. Making myself angry that it sometimes isn't going the way I like or a way that has me feeling so uncomfortable. Carrying this inner rebellion is like driving a car with the emergency brake on. The limitation of the ego mind holds us hostage to what the unknown would like to offer. An offering our thoughts have ...

The Seventh Chakra

Location:   Top of head. Influence: Cerebral cortex, upper skull, skin. Associative Color:      Violet or White or Gold   Central focus:  Connection to spirit, enlightenment, self-realization, fulfillment, faith, individuation, humanitarianism, , selflessness, transcendence, attachment. We work our way up awakening each chakra to arrive at a form of enlightenment in the Crown Chakra. This is not a journey’s end, but a rebirth and beginning that which some describe as “Kundalini Awakening”.  Here in the seventh chakra awareness of our spirit is realized and our connection to a more encompassing spirit outside ourselves. This spiritual connection is not religion. Religion speaks to the tribal mind and is associated with the first chakra. When we awaken to the seventh chakra we are open to cosmic energy that is linked with Divine wisdom and thought. At this level the intellect is abandoned and the experience of a “knowing” is realized as is an establis...
