Symbol Of 12

Every week the cosmos through astrology tells us about the energies that affect us. In addition to the astrology we have another tool to help us through contemplation on meditative stories. Each week we will take a Biblical/Quranic story and explain it in the light of how to manifest a better life for ourselves. 

In history we know of the 12 disciples of Christ, the 12 Imamiyat, the 12 tribes of Israel. What is this number 12 referring to, its referring to the 12 signs of the Zodiac that have manifested as people. 

Within those 12 signs we have very powerful individuals i.e US  that have a few weaknesses to overcome. In overcoming these weaknesses we can manifest big miracles, why? 

When a human chooses to voluntarily correct and transform himself he is aided by the creator, to achieve this transformation. So what are the general weaknesses of the signs, this is just a quick overview:

Aries: don't push for everything to happen now, take a chill pill

Taurus: Work and work hard, stop talking about work, do the work

Gemini: start feeling with other people, don't intellectualize everything

Cancer: take a risk, get out of your comfort zone

Leo: Take criticism except that you are wrong 

Virgo: Leave things messy, just let it be, don't try to clean it up

Libra: Go into confrontation 

Scorpio: Face your inner most fears

Sagittarius: commit to something

Capricorn: relax, just let go of work

Aquarius: follow the rules this week

Pisces: Just do it, stop asking questions, just do it 

Manifesting a miracle this month depends on your ability to come out of your comfort zone this week. Just stretch a little your ability to transform!

My husband crushed me with his feet

Reading the middle east news in the morning as usual, I was shocked to see that post. Carine Salameh, a famous anchor on a Lebanese television was hit by her husband.

It is not acceptable anymore! Enough!! Women are not animals! Even animals shouldn't be beat up according to any religion or any moral school.

All the campaigns and movements who advocate Arab women are NOT enough. The change has to start from our manners. The way the parents raise their kids and the manners that we teach our children.. This will grow up with them and stay forever.

Yes, behind every act of violence against women, parents who didn't raise their boys well. And by "well" I don't mean prepare them food and send them to good schools. Parents who reacted harshly and negatively to their kids' aggressive acts, parents who sat bad examples, parents who continued a cycle of violence and transferred it to their kids, parents who didn't stop the gender-based stereotypes, parents who spoiled their kids...

No wonder we started 2014 with "The Kindness Project in the Middle east" campaign!! We felt and touched the need for kindness, manners, morals and etiquettes in our Arab World.

Just last week, I was chatting with a lady who has a Facebook Group, more like a religious group. And I was asking to put some kindness posts on her group to encourage acts of kindness in the Middle East. Guess what she said!! Her exact reply was: "We only put religious posts". Isn't religion about morals and kindness?! Since when religion meant just prayers and sayings. Every religion started with manners and kindness.

We will not loose hope. We will continue our kindness project. Starting with 1 person, soon we will be millions.

And until we change the way we raise our children, we will still see violence and wars in our offspring.
