Signs

I am (gratefully) filled with Mercurial Energy.
I was born under the mutable zodiac sign of virgo with gemini rising.
Mercury rules both signs.

"The mental skills a person has and the way he uses them tells a great deal about his personality, the construction of his values, his outlook on the world, and his ability to have his ideas and knowledge make an impact on that world. Mercury energy, in and of itself, is considered neutral, somewhat sterile, and even impersonal -- as befits the qualities of reason and logic -- being, in its pure form, devoid of both ego and emotional considerations."

This, in short, means I am a born writer/communicator/linguist. Some things are so clear and evident. Thank you, Father.

One of my goals in writing this blog is to communicate concepts and ideas and to give people something to think about. Not necessarily to persuade anyone to my way of thinking … just to think and possibly spark some worthy conversation.

With communication being two-dimensional and 90% of it being non-verbal, sometimes with people, all you have to go on is signs. I read signs well, but often interpret them to satisfy what I want. I believe it’s only when we ignore the signs that we have trouble in life.

I’m a big sign watcher because people will lie. They say what they think you want to hear or what they were told to tell you or whatever else is convenient. Their words weave a web that hypnotizes you into complacency. You must watch the nonverbal signs – where betrayal of the truth will ooze from their pores.

A person can stop speaking, but cannot stop communicating – whether with hand gestures or eye movements or posturing pretenses. These are all visual signs that cannot be masked and are significant to what one really means to convey.

Our actions really do speak louder than our words.

As I grow and mature and change, I strive to be a person whose words and actions match up … so that when I communicate, all of the signs point in the same direction.

Bisous!
