Durckheim's method begins and ends with the individual on his or her
unique path. He offers no theory, no cosmology, no religious
philosophy.
Stage 1-- all that is contrary to essential being must be relinquished.

step 1: the practice of critical watchfulness

step 2: the letting go of all that stands in the way of new becoming

Stage 2-- that which has been relinquished must be dissolved in transcendent Being which absorbs and recreates us.

step 3: union with transcendent Being

step 4: new becoming in accordance with the inner image which has arisen from transcendent Being

Stage 3-- the newly formed core must be recognized and personal responsibility taken for its growth.

step 5: practising this new form on a daily basis through critical watchfulness which leads us back to step one of the process

- For Durckheim, higher consciousness --which he names transcendent or
  divine Being-- seeks to manifest itself through our bodily presence.
  This life-force actively seeks to become conscious of itself through
  our awakening to our essential nature.
- This work on oneself is not centered on self for the sake of self.
  Durckheim has a much wider panorama in view. Our efforts are meant to
  prepare us to reach a state where life in the service of transcendent
  Being becomes second nature. In discovering our own essential self, we
  participate in the manifestation of what can only be described as
  divine, the source of mercy, compassion, and conscious love.
- But Durckheim is
  especially insistent on the body as a key to breaking through to a
  greater consciousness. "Whenever a wrong posture has become deeply
  ingrained it blocks the redeeming, renewing and preserving forces that
  arise from the depths of Being." (2)
- Durckheim tells us that "the
  purpose of correct practice is not to bring man to a state of
  tranquility but to keep him in a condition of constant watchfulness and
  prevent him from coming to a standstill on the Way."
- To be released from our
  misconceptions and buffers is not merely a mental effort but requires
  dissolving the physical knots and distorted postures which express
  these attitudes. Clenched jaws, cramped stomachs, raised shoulders all
  keep us outside of the realm of essence which is the only threshold to
  our true becoming.

Sagittarius - sun signs by Linda Goodman

archer astrology horoscope linda-goodman sagittarius spirituality sun-signs

They love to travel, and there's usually at least one suitcase, well worn from hundreds of trips, that's kept packed and ready for instant use.
You'll always notice something child-like about the typical naive, brave, optimistic Sagittarian. He refuses to accept the seriousness of life, though some of them manage responsibility with admirable conscientiousness in later years. Still, they're never truly happy when they're burdened by it. Jupiter natures rebel against confinement, and too much of it can bring on serious illness.
34 more annotations...
- They believe that tomorrow will surely be better than yesterday, and today is pretty interesting. Moody spells are gone almost before the clouds have a chance to obscure the sunshine.
- Every Sagittarian is something of a gambler,
- Both the timid and the forceful ones will take a chance on love anytime. Sagittarians plunge into romance with reckless abandon, but they often stop short suddenly when marriage is mentioned. They think it over, then go ahead and make a mistake after careful consideration. Although the archer is warm and wonderful in love relationships, he's a little tricky to catch. Symbolically he's half horse-half ' man, which obviously gives him a head start in any game of chase, if he doesn't stumble over his own feet.
- mental brilliance stained by burning sarcasm,
- Sagittarians have a tendency to go off on tangents. The archer will take on a great cause with blind devotion and believe that the possibilities outweigh the shortcomings, an attitude that results from his brilliant imagination and progressive thinking. He never fails to present his case with cool, reasonable arguments, sometimes cutting the opposition to ribbons with sharp satire, and yet remaining aloof from the fray, somehow. The fire is always ready to leap forth, however, when anyone unfairly attacks his miracle or his cause of the moment.
- Although Sagittarians have fantastic memories that tell them exactly what they said and where they were on April 14, 1939, and they remember every detail of books and inovies, they can forget where they left their coats. Most of them are constantly losing gloves, car keys, wallets-and some people are unkind enough to say they would lose •their heads if they weren't fastened on their necks.
- A Sagittarian can never successfully tell a lie. No one believes him for a minute. Deceit is unnatural to the archer, and when he tries to dabble in it, the exposure is usually swift and sure.
- The SAGITTARIUS Woman
- She's not always going to say the kind of things you want to hear. Most of the time, she'll curl your sideburns with her remarkable, flat statements and her embarrassing questions. But now and then she'll say something so special and splendid it will make you feel like singing.
- "How do you feel about being so short?
- She'll always be a little outspoken, because she sees the world exactly as it is, even while she's wearing those ridiculous, rose-tinted glasses. That, you must admit, is quite a talent. It's not everyone who can apply clear, reasonable logic to every situation, and retain the happy faculty of believing things will get better or else deciding to accept them^or what they are.
- Sagittarius females are regular Pollyannas. It will cut when she tells you she wishes you would make more money,
- This girt will never lie to you. Sometimes, you may wish she would.
- She will probably live alone. Sagittarius girls are very • independent, and both sexes have a strange aloofness to family ties. Maybe it's because they travel so much, they don't get home often enough to get to know their families well. Even if they only travel to the movies and girl friends' houses, they're restlessly on the go.
- There's one thing you'll have to learn right away, or the relationship will never get off the ground. When you want her to do something, ask her. Don't tell her.
- She enjoys being protected, but she doesn't want to be ordered around.
- Although she dislikes being bossed, especially in public, when she's testing you for firmness, be firm. Jupiter women can't stand weak, wishy-washy men. If she gets too high-spirited and her clever tongue gets too sarcastic, or she threatens some action that really incenses you, give her a light touch of the Tarzan treatment. Just enough to keep her in line.
- A Sagittarius female has no in-tendon of giving up her individuality for any male, but she kind of likes to know you think of her as a girl.
- She may confuse you, but that's nothing to what she does | to herself. Many a Sagittarius girl mistakes friendship for | love and love for friendship. If you're one of those old-| fashioned men who prefer evasiveness and timidity in your i women, you'd better look for another Bingo partner. This young lady has bright, frank ways with men, and she's not going to play any silly games of "Guess how I feell" or "Guess what I think!" How she feels and what she thinks are identical with how she acts and what she says.
- Inside, she may be weeping, but she'll employ such clever wit in answering the questions of friends about the break that they'll decide the whole affair was a harmless flirtation on her part. Little will they guess how she soaks her pillow every night, wondering what she could possibly have said that fractured everything.
- Impasses like this are impossible for her to fathom, for all her logical mental processes, and often lead the Jupiter girl into a never-never land of romance, not knowing where the fire might flame up, or why, and afraid of being burned when it does. Then she'll play it too cool and be unable to take anyone seriously, least of all herself. She'll flirt openly, but without any intention of making it a lasting or a forever thing, and gain the reputation of a cold heartless female.
- She'll have a dozen interests to replace a man-and enjoy every one of them.
- She's breezy and unconventional in her relationships with men. Since she considers herself your equal, she may copy your mannerisms, as well as wear your sweater
- Not that Jupiter women are offensively masculine by nature. They can be the softest, most feminine women you ever squeezed. It's just that she pals around with so many men you get used to seeing her in the crowd-everywhere but in the . steam room and the gym. Since she's so scrupulously honest and aboveboard, she may be a little careless of her reputation and contemptuous of the hypocrisy demanded by society.
- The truth is, she's a trusting child at heart. Her outlook is so naive it makes her vulnerable to wolves, con artists and phonies (though oddly enough, not in other areas, just in romance). Forget about how cleverly she argues and how startlingly logical she can be. All that has nothing to do with her heart. Her mind isn't under discussion. It's bright and intelligent, and well able to take care of itself in any emergency. But her heart is defenseless. It falls down and gets bruised quite often.
- She's slightly clumsy.
- The sunny Sagittarian disposition can melt the hardest hearts.
- The typical Jupiter girl has a large appetite. She likes good food and wine, nice clothes, and when she travels, she likes to go first class. Sagittarians are extravagant by nature
- Money for the sake of money doesn't interest them, and it takes quite a bit of training to teach most of them the meaning of a dollar bill. Check her ascendant carefully before you loan her your credit card.
- Never force her to choose between pleasing you and the excitement of pleasing whole gobs of people at once with her sunshine personality.
- The travel bug will always be nearby to give her a case of wandering fever. Vacation with her when you can; otherwise let her go off to ride the carousel herself, and trust her. She loves you, not the clowns and organ grinders she likes to pass the time with.
- Youll have a lovely hostess. No one entertains as graciously as a Sagittarian woman, not even her Leo sisters, who are no slouches themselves in the social department. There's a quality about her sunny, outgoing friendliness that makes people feel deeply welcome, from the garbage man to your boss. A Sagittarian breaks the ice instantly at the stiffest affairs, though she may raise a few eyebrows, too.
- As long as you let her call her soul her own, and don't make her feel tied down, your Sagittarius Pollyanna will give you a triple bonus: her loyalty, her trust and her affection. The three are inseparable, because when she gives her love, her friendship trots right along beside it.
- The Jupiter woman is an incurable idealist. And here's a secret perhaps she never told you: She fell in love with you many years ago, when she was a little girl and wished on the new Moon for someone to share her honest heart. There were lots of times when she thought she had found you and was disappointed. But when you finally came along, she knew you right away, because you were a gentle clown with a dream or two of your own who took her hand and showed her the way to the stars.

How to Meditate
Get into a position where you don’t feel discomfort but aren’t completely relaxed.
8 more annotations...
- Close your eyes and monitor your breathing. It takes a few minutes to enter a meditative state. Focus on breathing in and out and slowly lowering your rate of breathing.
- Once you’ve sufficiently slowed your breathing, start with some quick mental exercises. Run your focus around your body. Notice where you hands, feet, elbows and back are. Notice how they feel.
- Finally try a few visualization exercises seeing how long and how clearly you can hold a picture, sound or sensation in your imagination.
- Solving Tough Problems
  
  One of my favorite ways to use meditation is to tackle tough problems. With daily distractions present, it can often be difficult to really think through an issue. Meditation can help eliminate those distractions and allow you to get some insight into what you already know intuitively.
- Once you get into a meditative state, try to form a visual scene inside your head
- Now have a conversation with this person asking for advice on the problem you are having. Dont think about what the other character should say, just imagine the conversation. You may be surprised at what this imaginary character comes up with.
- The technique I use for this is that once I get into a meditative state, I focus on my breathing and watch my thoughts. Whenever I feel anything I make a mental note of that feeling. The process of observing your own emotions and acknowledging them gives you a bit of distance you wouldn’t otherwise have.
- Even though I am fully aware the entire time, I often get out of a meditative state feeling completely refreshed and awake.
