" God Given Talents "

~ The People of the Zodiac ~

And it was morning as God stood before his twelve children and into each of them planted the seed of human life.   One by one each child stepped forward to receive his appointed gift...

								 Aries      March 21 - April 19 
							
							

							

								   "To you Aries I give the seed first that you might have the honour of
								planting it.  That for every seed you plant one million more will multiply in
								your hand.  You will not have time to see the seed grow, for everything you
								plant creates more that must be planted.  You will be the first to penetrate
								the soil of men's mind with My Idea.  But it is not your job to nourish the
								Idea nor to question it. Your life is action and the only action I ascribe to
								you is to begin making men aware of My Creation. For your work I give you the
								virtue of Self Esteem."
							

							

							 
							

								 ..... Quietly Aries stepped back to his place ..... 
							

							 




							 
							
								 Taurus      April 19 - May 20 
							
							 
							

							

								 "To you Taurus I give the power to build the seed into substance.  Your job is
								a great one requiring patience for you must finish all that has been started or
								the seeds will be wasted to the wind.  You are not to question nor change your
								mind in the middle nor depend on others for what I ask you to do.  For this I
								give you the gift of Strength.  Use it wisely." 
							

							 
							

							 
							

								 ..... And Taurus stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							 
							
								 Gemini      May 21 - June 21 
							
							 
							

							

								 "To you Gemini I give the questions without answers, so that you may bring to
								all an understanding of what man sees around him.  You will never know why men
								speak or listen, but in your quest for the answers you will find my gift of
								Knowledge."  
							

							

							 
							

								 ..... And Gemini stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							 
							
								 Cancer      June 22 - July 22 
							
							
							

							

								  "To you Cancer I ascribe the task of teaching men about emotion.  My Idea is
								for you to cause them laughter and tears so that all they see and think
								develops fullness from inside.  For this I give you the gift of Family, that
								your fullness may multiply." 
							

							

							
							

								 ..... And Cancer stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							
							
								 Leo      July 23 - Aug 22 
							
							
							

							

								  "To you Leo I give the job of displaying My Creation in all its brilliance to
								the world.  But you must be careful of pride and always remember that it is My
								Creation, not yours. For if you forget this, men will scorn you.  There is much
								joy in the job I give you if you but do it well.  For this I give you the gift
								of Honour."  
							

							

							 
							

								 ..... And Leo stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							 
							
								 Virgo      Aug 23 - Sept 22 
							
							
							

							

								  
							

							 "To you Virgo I ask for an examination of all man has done with My Creation. 
							You are to scrutinize his ways sharply and remind him of his errors so that
							through him My Creation may be perfected.  For doing this I give you the gift
							of Purity of Thought. 
							

							

								 ..... And Virgo stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							
							
								 Libra      Sept 23 - Oct 23 
							
							
							

							

								   "To you Libra I give the mission of service, that man may be mindful of his
								duties to others.  That he may learn cooperation as well as the ability to
								reflect the other side of his actions.  I will put you everywhere there is
								discord, and for your efforts I will give you the gift of Love." 
							

							

							

								 ..... And Libra stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							
							
								 Scorpio      Oct 24 - Nov 21 
							
							
							

							

								  "To you Scorpio I give a very difficult task.  You will have the ability to
								know the minds of men, but I do not permit you to speak about what you learn.
								Many times you will be pained by what you see, and in your pain you will turn
								away from Me and forget that it is not I but the perversion of My Idea that is
								causing you pain. You will see so much of man that you will come to know him as
								an animal and wrestle so much with his animal instincts in yourself that you
								will lose your way; but when you finally come back to Me, Scorpio, I have for
								you the supreme gift of Purpose." 
							

							

							

								 ..... And Scorpio stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							
							
								 Sagittarius      Nov 22 - Dec 21 
							
							
							

							

								   "Sagittarius I ask that you make men laugh, for amidst their
								misunderstanding of My Idea they become bitter.  Through laughter you are to
								give man hope, and through hope turn his eyes back to Me.  You will touch many
								lives if but for a moment, and you will know the restlessness in every life you
								touch.  To you Sagittarius I give the gift of Infinite Abundance, that you may
								spread wide enough to reach every corner of darkness and bring it light. 
							

							

							

								 ..... And Sagittarius stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							
							
								 Capricorn      Dec 22 - Jan 19 
							
							
							

							

								   "Of you Capricorn I ask the toil of your brow, that you might teach men to
								work.  Your task is not an easy one for you will feel all man's labours on your
								shoulders; but the yoke of your burdens contains the responsibility of man,
								which I put into your hands." 
							

							

							 
							

								 ..... And Capricorn stepped into place ..... 
							

							 




							
							
								 Aquarius      Jan 20 - Feb 18 
							
							
							

							

								   "To you Aquarius I give the concept of future that man might see other
								possibilities.  You will have the pain of loneliness, for I do not allow you to
								personalize My Love.  But for turning man's eyes to new possibilities I give
								the gift of Free- dom, that in your liberty you may continue to serve mankind
								wherever he needs you." 
							

							

							

								 ..... And Aquarius stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							
							
								 Pisces      Feb 19 - March 20 
							
							
							

							

								 "To you Pisces I give the most difficult task of all.  I ask you to collect
								all of man's sorrows and return them to me. Your tears are to be ultimately My
								Tears.  The sorrow you will absorb is the effect of man's misunderstanding of
								my Idea, but you are to give him compassion that he may try again.  For this,
								the most difficult task of all, I give you the greatest gift of all.  You will
								be the only one of my twelve children to understand Me.  But this gift of
								understanding is for you, Pisces, for when you try to spread it to man he will
								not listen. 
							

							

							

								 ..... And Pisces stepped back into place ..... 
							

							 




							
							
								 Then God said: 
							
							
							

							

								 "You each have a part of My Idea. You must not mistake that part for all of My
								Idea, nor may you trade parts with each other.  For each one of you is perfect,
								but you will not know that until all twelve of you are one.  For then the whole
								of My Idea will be revealed to each of you." 
								

								 And the children left, each determined to do the job best that he might
								receive his gift.  But none fully understood his task or his gift, and when
								they returned, puzzled, God said:  
							

							

							 
							

								
								
									 "You each believe that the other gifts are better. 
									

									 Therefore I will allow you to trade." 
								
								
								

								 And for the moment each child was elated 
								

								 as he considered all possibilities of his new mission. 
							

							
							

							 
							
								 But God smiled as he said 
							
							
							

							

								   "You will return to Me many times asking to be relieved of your mission, and
								each time I will grant you your wish.  You will go through countless
								incarnations before you complete the original mission I have prescribed to you.
								 I give you countless time to do it, but only when it is done can you be with
								Me."
