For all the fuss people go through to find a partner, and all the further fuss they put up with trying to find out what their partner is up to, you'd think they'd give astrology a try. Well, they do, but it seems to be just plain complicated. Here's a sample: His Mars says go - go - go, but her Saturn says Stop right there, Buster! (Huh. That didn't seem hard at all.) Astrological synastry is how you can compare yourself to someone else to find out why you feel the way you do, why the two of you do the things you do. So even though it seems complicated, give it a try, you may get the hang of it. Indicates a book on our Top Ten list. If you would like to find more books like it, click on the star.

This Is What Makes You Annoying According To Your Zodiac Sign. You deeply believe you are deserving of all the great things in the world. Yes, you are highly driven and motivated to achieve them all, but your constant need of worship gets on people’s nerves. Your competitiveness and eagerness to succeed at all cost are annoying as hell. Sometimes, you forget how it is to be a part of a team which makes it hard for other people to collaborate and work with you because you like everything to be done your way. You are determined and headstrong, but your take charge attitude can be your downfall because you may make rash and hasty decisions that you’ll end up regretting. Your impulsivity just doesn’t let you think twice before acting on something. Most of the time, you are focused on you and your needs which makes others feel as if they can’t talk with you about their problems. Plus, your hot-tempered nature is making them feel like they are dealing with a child that is constantly having tantrums. TAURUS. You are known as being the most stubborn of all zodiac signs. You don’t make compromises when it comes to your ideas and beliefs of the world and are unwilling to change them as well as your habits. You are not the only one who is always right, Taurus. That’s why people are annoyed by you. You are so set in your ways that you are not willing to take any risks and try something new that is out of your comfort zone. You sometimes tend to withdraw from people and shut out those who love you because you want to be alone, but this behavior of yours hurts them. Moreover, your laziness gets on their nerves because they all want you to just get your ass off from the couch and do something different for a change. Finally, you never like to admit that you are wrong and that infuriates people. Maybe you should learn how to apologize and swallow your pride before you lose your friends. GEMINI. People see you and they think, “Can you just shut the f*ck up?!” Yes, your extrovert nature is often attractive, but sometimes you are too chatty that you annoy everyone around you. You can sound like a broken record and repeat the same story over and over again not letting anyone get a word in. Sometimes, you don’t know how to listen to others and that frustrates people. Also, you are very energetic and sometimes people just want you to sit down and drink your coffee in silence without that excitedness and enthusiasm in the morning. Finally, your fickle nature and your inability to make up your mind make you come off as superficial and people have a hard time trusting you. CANCER. Oh, cancer! I can talk all day about your whininess but you are so easily hurt and so emotional, I just can’t. Okay, I’ll try to be subtle. You are whiny, Cancer. You are whiny when things don’t go as you planned. And when you are not whining about the “terrible thing” that happened today, you are busy crying for everything you’ve gone through in your past. Get over it, already. You are moody as well. You are very unpredictable and people don’t know what mood are you going to have today. Some of them even feel as they need to walk on eggshells around you, not knowing what goes in your head and worrying that they will make the wrong move to piss you off. You have a hot and cold behavior and that’s what makes your romantic relationships extremely difficult. Deep down, you fear rejection and you make other people responsible for your insecurities. Please, learn how to let go. LEO. Okay, Leo. Put down your mirror and take a moment to read about some annoying traits you have that piss off others. Your love to be always in the spotlight is known to everyone. You enjoy being the center of attention and your overconfident nature makes you look like a vain, self- obsessed, and egotistical creature. People just can’t know what’s hidden in your heart and what’s the real you because you are so busy telling them how amazing you are. Moreover, you are very dramatic, especially when you don’t get what you want. Then, you lose your temper and you get loud and say things without thinking through. As a result, you make other people feel as they should tiptoe around you. VIRGO. Virgo, you are hard to please and that’s what makes you utterly annoying to people. You are a perfectionist that is never content with anything. You spend a great amount of time and energy analyzing other people’s behavior and looking for flaws in them, which annoys the hell out of them. No one wants to feel like they are under a microscope the whole time. Plus, with all your demands and criticism they can’t stand you. You are a know it all, the person who just has to succeed in everything. Your overly calculative nature can cost you some great people if you are not being careful. Take a deep breath and relax a little. You are so messy, Pisces. You are also very impractical. A hot mess, both physically and emotionally. You can’t keep anything in order and honestly, people are exhausted from dealing with you and clearing your mess. You are very compassionate and you are there to help others, even though you are a mess yourself. Everyone can count on you when they have a problem, but you are unreliable because you tend to easily forget things and promises. Also, you are extremely sensitive and because of that, you have a tendency to jump to conclusions. Get your head out of the clouds and be more practical. Not every cute person you meet is the love of your life. Get real and leave your fantasy world for a moment. This Is What Makes You Scared Shitless Of Love, According To Your Zodiac Sign. ARIES. Aries, you love living your life to the fullest! Your personal space and independence are the things that you cherish the most and you won’t let anyone take them away from you. You are not scared to live your life alone. In fact, sometimes you believe you will be better like that. Your biggest fear is having someone restrict you in some shape or form and slow you down. You are terrified of losing the fire that burns so bright inside you. But the truth is, deep inside, you want a committed relationship. You want to love and be loved with the same passion and intensity. You want a healthy and secure relationship in which you will have plenty of room to breathe because you fear someone entering your life and changing your routine. TAURUS. Taurus, you are very stubborn and so accustomed to your life as it is that you despise change. You live so peacefully and happily in your comfort zone and you can stay there forever. But your comfort zone has also become your barrier from the world and people as you don’t let anyone in. You are so self-reliant that you fear losing your independence and relying on someone else to make you happy and fulfilled. You may appear heartless and standoffish but, on the inside, you are a hopeless romantic that believes in true love. When it comes to relationships, you only prefer committed and long-term ones. You don’t date around. You don’t do casual dating. You want all or nothing. That’s why you fear to get your heart broken because you’ve learned the hard way that not all people are as genuine as you are. GEMINI. Gemini, you are so unpredictable! You constantly change your mind due to your insatiable curiosity for experiencing new things and your zest for life. That’s why you are afraid of falling in love. Because you don’t want to be imprisoned by it. You love flirting and meeting new people and at the same time, you hate being stuck in one place. You are afraid of the thought of being committed to one person because you like keeping your options open and you don’t want to think whether the person next to you is the right one. You always thrive for excitement and new experiences and that’s why you are terrified that falling in love with someone will bring stillness in your life. You want to constantly grow and expand as a person. Your rich social life is sacred to you and you are not willing to give it up or give yourself up for the sake of being in a relationship. CANCER. Oh, Cancer… you are the most sensitive and affectionate sign of all the zodiac. You have a nurturing nature that is always there for others. You are not scared to show people how much you love and care for them. When you fall in love, you love with all your being and you give your all to them. You are very trustworthy and dedicated and your partner should consider themselves lucky to have you in their life. However, this empathic nature of yours has put you in the arms of toxic partners who abused your good intentions. They broke your heart and that’s why now you are afraid to love again. You are afraid to get your heart broken again. Therefore, you are also scared of baring your soul to someone and being vulnerable because you know how fake people can be and only take without giving anything in return. LEO. Leo, everything you do, you do with love and passion! Your world is filled with love and romance. You fall in love quickly because you adore the idea of being in love. However, finding someone compatible and staying in a relationship with them is where it gets tricky. You fear being disappointed and that’s why you are incredibly picky when it comes to choosing your partner. You have very high standards that are probably pushing away possible matches. You want to be in a reciprocal relationship. You want to be seen, appreciated, and adored. You crave emotional connection and devotion and a lack of it may cause you to fall out of love. You are terrified of giving your heart and soul to someone only to having to separate again due to their lack of making you feel loved. VIRGO. Virgo, you only reveal the parts of you that you want others to see. Your walls are so high that you almost never let anyone so close to you to know the real you. Your analytical and overly critical nature makes you sometimes hard to deal with, but you are only being hard on yourself. Your desire for perfectionism has attracted many lost and toxic souls to you who needed saving. That’s where your true fear lies – in the possibility of experiencing love in the truest form and what would that mean to you. The mere idea of having to open to someone and being vulnerable scares you shitless. You are afraid that your partner may not like the not-so-good parts of you that you are hiding deep inside you. Intimacy scares you because, in your belief, everything has to be perfect and so do you. However, you forget that not you, not me, not anyone is or ever will be perfect. LIBRA. Libra, you are a romantic sign that dreams of true love and being swept off their feet. You fear being alone and that’s the reason why you tend to get yourself involved in casual flings. However, finding your true partner is one of your most important priorities for you. You want to be in a stable and committed relationship with a partner with whom you will share a deep bond – a complete submission of mind, body, and soul. Your greatest fear is intimacy and revealing yourself to the other person because you are so preoccupied with your flaws and insecurities. Your charming nature makes you great at small talk, meeting new people and forming new connections, however, you fear getting deeper than that. You are scared shitless of loneliness that instead of trying to find love, you are pushing it away. You run from love, so you won’t be abandoned and left out in the cold. SCORPIO. Scorpio, your number one fear is being betrayed by the person you love. You are naturally suspicious of everyone, but the fear of being betrayed in love is greater than anything because it is also accompanied by fears of abandonment and rejection. You want to be able to trust your partner 100 percent, and yet you are so mysterious yourself. Behind your ‘calm, cool, and collected’ exterior, there is an ocean of depth, emotions, skeletons, secrets, and thoughts that only you have access to. Because you fear revealing your true self to others and having them broke your trust and heart. You are very intense, Scorpio, especially when it comes to love. You don’t accept anything mediocre. You don’t half-ass things. You are brutally honest, and you always tell like it is. You’ve been hurt in the past and that’s why now you are afraid to open up to someone again and losing yourself in the relationship. You fear happiness because you fear getting hurt again. Amazing opportunity and happiness can be in front of your eyes and yet you may not see them because you tend to self-sabotage yourself and everything good that happens to you out of paranoia. SAGITTARIUS. Sagittarius, your energy, curiosity, and your insatiable desire for living life to the fullest has made you crave more exciting experiences and adventures than true love. For you, your biggest fear is living a boring life. You desire constant excitement thus you are scared shitless of having to settle down for a relationship and the routine that you think comes with it. That’s why you always run before you get too attached to someone. You associate commitment with monotony and boredom and that’s why you are terrified of getting yourself involved in it and having to give up traveling, meeting new people and learning new things. And while you may have a reputation of being a player, you are an idealist when it comes to love, and you don’t want to get involved with emotional manipulators and toxic people. CAPRICORN. Your self-control, focus, responsibility, discipline, and self-mastery are astounding! You fear love because, in your opinion, love is always an unpredictable mess, something that doesn’t have a place in your perfectly composed world. You don’t want to allow someone into your life only to make havoc out of it and make you feel like you somehow failed (something that you also hate). You are very realistic and when it comes to love, you are especially careful, and you don’t wear your rose-tinted glasses. When you are in a relationship you want it to be for the long haul, you want to see a future with your partner, otherwise, you won’t even start. For you, love is an investment of time, money, energy, and effort. You always want to be perceived as strong and therefore, you fear losing the upper hand when it comes to the matters of the heart. AQUARIUS. Aquarius, your need for freedom and alone time is great and sometimes, you feel like falling in love will limit you in some way. You are extremely committed and loyal when you are in a relationship and while you give your partner all the freedom they need, you expect the same in return. You fear being smothered in a relationship. You are scared that you are never going to find someone who will understand you and your individuality. Someone who will understand how much you need to have a space for doing your own things. Your gut instinct never fails you, even though you are always guided by logic and not emotions because you fear that love will make you look like a crazy and stupid person. You fear trusting someone and opening yourself for love because you’ve been hurt before and you don’t want to go through it again. PISCES. Pisces, your greatest fear is being taken advantage of. You are very generous and sensitive, and you are always there to help everyone in need without expecting anything in return. That’s why you attract troubled and tortured souls that are in dire need of healing. You don’t have very strong boundaries and your naïve selfless nature immediately wants to rescue them and love them, but unfortunately, those souls you help heal are oftentimes the same ones that end up breaking your heart. You are hopeless romantic that wants to find “the one.” You want the fairytale kind of love. The everlasting one. This is what makes you terrified of love because you know that you are prone to getting yourself attached to someone too easily and unfortunately, it is usually with the wrong person. And now, you want to avoid getting hurt at all costs. Love Compatibility for Pisces and Pisces. They share honest, efficient communication, a rich emotional bond and a deep spiritual connection. They both feel that their precious relationship is the most wonderful thing in the world, and it couldn’t get any better. They share a love of beauty and peace unparalleled in the Zodiac, and both are equally committed to maintaining this ideal relationship. They share a love of beauty and peace unparalleled in the Zodiac, and both are equally committed to maintaining this ideal relationship. The passive Pisces nature affords this couple peaceful times. However, Pisces can be too easygoing, sometimes gullible, and is extremely sensitive to negative energy. Two Pisces together can become lethargic, lazy or bring out the best and worst in one another. They are often unable to set limits for themselves or others, and can wander off too far in a spiritual direction. Pisces tend to elude any conflicts with a disappearing act, either with unrealistic optimism or by hiding out in a life of fantasy. It is this typical Pisces flexibility that makes both easy to talk to, adaptable to any situation and great friends as well as lovers. Planets. Pisces is ruled by the Planets Jupiter and Neptune. Pisces share a great sense of ethics and values and live life with a philosophical outlook as reflected by the Planet Jupiter. Neptune is in charge of Pisces’s relationship with pop culture, abstract thought, imagination and mystery. Pisces is a Sign of service. Each partner showers the other with affection and totally adores any they receive in turn. The giving of fancy gifts, breakfast in bed and weekend getaways are common occurrences in a Pisces-Pisces relationship. Elements. Pisces is a Water Sign. Both partners are only too happy to bend to the will and needs of their loved ones. Pisces are well known for their adaptability, conforming their interests and intentions to the situation at hand. This can be dangerous for The Fish, however, as their sense of self may slide off into the background. The astrological symbol of The Pair of Fishes represents Pisces’s dual nature, each swimming in a different direction simultaneously. Pisces must really focus and devote themselves to setting personal goals. It is for the benefit of the relationship that each partner must do their best to encourage one another to succeed. modalities. Pisces is a Mutable Sign. Indirect and aloof, Pisces does well when inspired by a strong initiating force. This couple will normally exist with little or no conflict, and will greatly benefit from putting their hearts and heads together. Fights are few and far between. Both are always there to help one another through trying times or to lend a hand whenever necessary. Their laid-back nature is a welcome aspect for both partners, and this couple feels a great emotional attraction to and deep admiration of one another. Being At One With Love: Soul Mates, Soul Families, and Soul Groups. There is much conjecture and misunderstanding concerning this subject. When most of you speak of a soul mate, you are thinking of that one special individual that you will fall in love with and with whom you will live happily ever after. You may even feel as if this one special love has always been your lover through many, many lifetimes and that you are simply awaiting his or her appearance in this lifetime. Many souls do encounter one another in lifetime after lifetime after lifetime, for they have become friends. This friendship is based in the non- physical world, and the friendship, which in essence is co-operation, is based upon their past success in achieving the growth they are seeking. You see, you are growth-seeking beings, and all encounters, both physical and non-physical, provide opportunities for growth. Therefore, if there is a certain soul with whom you have had great success in achieving your goals, you are likely to agree to work with that one again. Why Do Souls Organize Together? It is important to understand how souls are organized. Your journeys here into the physical world are deliberate journeys. You have already mastered life on many other planes of existence, and your purpose for coming to Earth is simply so that you may broaden your experience of yourself through the Earth existence. The ultimate goal is to experience unconditional love, that which is acceptance and allowing. For as you totally accept Earth life and accept all the aspects of it and all that exists within it, you have reached your goal. Some have called this enlightenment. You see, you didn't come here to get better or to prove yourself worthy; you came here for the fun of it, for the game, for the challenge. Before such journeys are undertaken, souls organize themselves into groups. You could see these as support groups. Souls organize themselves into Families, Groups, Clans, Nations, and Grand Nations. There are seven souls in a Soul Family and seven families in a Soul Group, and seven groups in a Soul Clan, and so on. Eventually, you will work with most members of your Soul Clan, that is 343 individual souls. However, for those of you who are teachers, you will more than likely reach your Soul Nation or Grand Nation, which totals almost 17,000 souls. The majority of your relationships, close friendships, and associations will be with souls who are from your Group of 49 souls. However, this is not always the case. The more you advance in terms of acceptance (love), the more skilled you will become at working with individuals who have a different energy signature than yourselves. What we mean by energy signature is the following: each Soul Group will be working towards a particular goal. For example, many members of one Soul Group could be concerned with communication and teaching, another with healing, another with courage, another with self-acceptance. This does not mean that each of you will manifest in the same way and lead identical lives, but it does mean that the essence of your lives will be very similar. You will have similar ideals, aspirations, likes, and dislikes. The people you are most drawn to are almost always members of your Soul Family, Group, Clan or Nation, but as with everything, there are exceptions to the rule. Get The Latest By Email. A Soul Family Works Together. A Soul Family will work together for many, many lifetimes. Sometimes a Soul Family will regroup and different alliances will be made. This is rare, but it happens. In addition, the entire Soul Family will be involved in decision-making regarding future lifetimes and will assist you in assessing your achievements in a lifetime just past. Your Soul Family is always there for you. For the most part, not all members of a Soul Family are incarnate at the same time. Those members who are not incarnate act as spirit guides during the physical life of the one who is incarnate. They can visit you in dreams, inspire you with thoughts, or in some cases, speak to you directly during meditation. Many of the spirit guides that have presented themselves to humans are indeed discarnate souls who are members of the individual's Soul Family. However, many of the Master Teachers that present themselves to humans are either members of the individual's Nation or Grand Nation and are souls whose Earth experience is complete. At times these Master Teachers can be souls that are even broader and vaster than this. What Is A Soul Mate? A soul mate is any soul that is a member of this broader group and anyone that touches your life. The net effect of a soul mate on your life will always be positive, even if you cannot see it at the time. For example, many have the notion that a soul mate relationship will be the ideal relationship, full of harmony and love. However, a relationship with a soul mate is likely to be challenging! The whole point of a soul mate turning up in your life is to show you to yourself. That is the purpose of all human relationships. You learn through viewing in the mirror. The Law of Attraction works in every aspect of your life, and therefore each person drawn into your life is there through vibration, and nothing else. They are present because your vibration and their vibration are matched in some way. As we have said before, you are growth-seeking beings. So many of you get confused when you meet the person of your dreams, fall happily in love, declare, "This is my soul mate," and then have to pick up the pieces a few years down the road when the relationship breaks up or the person you loved turns out to have some problems or personality traits you do not care for. However, this was your soul mate, and you have many! Soul Mate Agreements. As you re-enter each lifetime, you make agreements with many different souls, perhaps as many as 20. You agree on what you will offer one another. These souls can be your children, your best friend, husband, wife, worst enemy, boss, business partner, any number of possibilities, and even the schoolteacher that encouraged you with patience and kindness. However, as you, the personality, have free will, you may create a path that takes you in a different direction, and this is why you have to make possible agreements with so many. The Universe works on the principle of vibration. Let us give you an example: There is Joe who is a fine soul indeed. However Joe, for quite a few lifetimes now, has been struggling with powerlessness in the physical realm. His struggle has led him into violence and even to developing addictions to alcohol. Mary, on the other hand, for some time now has had difficulties in valuing herself, always choosing second best, and always giving her power away. So Joe and Mary coordinate their lives and set up a strong probability to meet. Their intention is that Mary and Joe will fall in love and work towards resolving their respective issues. In her relationship with the alcoholic, Mary will learn that she must begin to make choices that reflect her self-worth. Joe, on the other hand, wants to learn that he cannot possess or control anyone, for power must come from within. However, Mary finds herself often challenged during the course of her life, and at college the establishment challenges her ideas and values. Instead of capitulating, as was her custom in previous lives, she stands up for herself and chooses to value herself. At that moment her vibration changes and therefore Joe is no longer necessary. It could happen that she may meet Joe, but it would more than likely be a passing meeting and one in which she could share with him what she had learned. She may indeed end up being the counselor at an alcohol rehabilitation center, for example, but Mary no longer requires an intimate relationship with Joe. At this stage both Joe and Mary set up new vibrations so that they connect with their other possible soul mates. When you look back at your life, you will see there are many people who have had an impact on it. All of these people are your soul mates, and whether they know it or not on the personality level, they love you dearly for you are all working together towards one singular goal, and that is the goal of love. Attraction, Compatibility, and Soul Groups. "When we meet someone and an instant friendship or attraction occurs, does that mean that this is a soul mate and that we have been together in past lives?" What it means is that there is compatibility in vibration, and this generally means that there is a connection of sorts. Whether that soul be from your Soul Family, Group, Clan, or Nation, there is a connection, a similarity of goal, purpose, experience, and therefore vibration. However, this connection on the soul level does not automatically indicate that you have met before. You may never have met on the Earth plane, but the soul may be known to you in the non-physical world. You do spend rather more time in the non-physical than you do in the physical, for the non-physical world is your natural home. In the non- physical world you have friends in very much the same way that you have friends on Earth. Some friends are close to you, others are intimately acquainted with you, and still others are acquaintances. Friendship in the non-physical world has nothing to do with liking or not liking one another; it has to do with compatibility of goals and aspirations. Your non-physical friends also change, and they change according to your goals. For example, you may have teamed up with a particular small group of souls to work on survival issues. Each of you have had a few lives together in inhospitable environments. You may have chosen to live in primitive cultures in very cold climates or in desert regions. Such inhospitable environments help you to become resourceful, inventive, creative, and self-sufficient. You may however, choose to return to this adventure at a later stage and not complete all of your 'learning' in one go. Or, you may progress at a faster pace than your group members and decide to move on. Another choice could be to remain with the group and become a leader or teacher amongst them, assisting them to progress, which in turn assists you to progress even further for there is much learning to be done whilst teaching. The possibilities are endless and the choice is yours. If you decide to move on, you will join another group, or perhaps work with one or two other souls. Your work with other souls may last one Earth day, an entire lifetime, or several hundred lifetimes. You choose all of these relationships, and each relationship is based on cooperation and the desire to progress as quickly as possible. Are Your Parents Your Soul Mates? "Are our parents and children Soul Mates and are they part of our Soul Family?" They are soul mates inasmuch as you not only know them, but you have chosen to work with them for the specific purpose of achieving growth. No birth is an accident, for all souls enter this world by agreement with both parents, even if both parents are not present in childhood. Your parents and siblings may very well all be members of your Soul Family, but this is extremely rare. Normally, one, perhaps two, members of your biological family will be from your Soul Family, but the rest will generally be from your Group, Clan, Nation, or Grand Nation. For the creation of a physical family the younger, less experienced souls will tend to team up with souls that are very closely related to them. These souls will often swap roles with one another from lifetime to lifetime, sometimes being the child, at other times the parent, at one time the female, at another time the male mate. The familiarity of the souls, one with another, helps each individual soul to progress more quickly. When souls first enter the physical plane, it seems to them to be a hostile place indeed. They are confused and wary of the physical body and are very susceptible to the biological impulse to survive. They are often caught up in fight or flight choices. The Universe is loving and supportive, and therefore it creates feelings of security to be surrounded by souls with whom you are very familiar. However, as with everything in the Universe, this is only general. It is not a hard and fast rule, for older souls can and do enter into these kinds of arrangements. Feeling You're The 'Odd One Out'? Many older souls choose to be born into families where perhaps only one member is well known to them, and perhaps this soul is from their Soul Group or Clan, not as closely related as a Soul Family member. They will make this choice because older souls are really concerned with introspection more than anything else. They may be preparing to teach or to become a leader in one field or another, and the experience of feeling 'the odd one out' will lead them towards self-examination. Instead of getting caught up with the function and duty of 'family' these souls will often be seen to be the 'black sheep' or viewed as different or eccentric by other members of the biological family. Although these circumstances may lead to difficult personal challenges, the lessons are almost always internal rather than external. This means that there will be an emphasis on self-acceptance. Self-acceptance is an integral part of soul development. If we were to liken the Earth experience to education, mastering self-acceptance is equivalent to studying for your doctorate. Once you have self-acceptance under your belt, you are pretty much on the home run! Looking for True Love. "Why do so many of us search endlessly for the 'one true love' in the hope of finding our soul mate?" What you are looking for is acceptance. You believe that this 'one true love' will accept you without conditions. Your search for that one is in fact the search for self-acceptance. Each relationship is there to provide you with a new opportunity to know yourself. It is through knowing yourself that you can then grow to accept yourself and to love yourself. The one true love is self-love; there is no other love. The greatest secret of all, discovered by the Christ and the Buddha and many others, was the secret of falling in love with the self. When you love the self, you are in a state of acceptance, total acceptance. As you accept, you cease resisting the world and all that is in it. As you give up resistance, you allow everything to be as it is. As you allow everything to be as it is, God can work through you. It is at this point that you can say, "I and the Father are one," for you will be at one with the source of all life. You will be at one with love!
