Introducing Gigi Seezie *UPDATED*

Gigi Seezie is a collection of rarities in a single body that has lived over 50 years. I have cultivated my beliefs from a series of learned viewpoints, and belief structures from around the world filtered through the perspective of life in American society. But, maybe not what you may picture as stereotypical American society (see the various Disclosures in the header tabs).

First of all, While I was born and raised as a Gen X in New Jersey, I have now lived equal amounts of time there, in Northern California as it produced Millennials, and  Southeast Texas during the advent of Gens Z and Alpha. I have gained perspectives from all of them. A rarity in the current climate of the America.

One of those learned perspectives is: you really need to understand yourself in order to make the best use of your gifts, and build the happiest, most fulfilled life you can in this lifetime.

That being said, while my belief structure is primarily Bible based due to my upbringing, there are so many contradictions in the book!  I have come to believe that between it's actual writing by man's hand, and the council of Nicaea, that some of the Bible's stipulations may not have been from God so much as a way for the church to control it's followers.

The origins for this idea came about many years ago when I was talking to a devout church-going friend about someone gifted with psychic powers. She informed me in a near panic at the subject that the Bible specifically warns against psychics. To which I replied, "Why would God make people with psychic gifts if they are wrong for using them?"

That just didn't make sense to me, and stuck with me uncomfortably until I felt it was my duty to do some investigation. This led me down more rabbit holes than I can list or number. After all of the years and areas of my personal research, some of the conclusions I've come to are: 

    1. Various governmental entities, world leaders throughout time, and the "Powers that Be" have two tactics when they want to disavow something: tell people that it deserves to be laughed at and disbelieved; or tell people to be afraid of it - the more afraid the better so the 'They' can supposedly save you from it. We need to take back our right to think in this country and there's a lot out there in society that is trying to keep you from doing exactly that. Check the facts of your beliefs whatever they may be. Do your own research, don't just accept the news or Google answer. It's lazy and 'They' are counting on it because they've kept you so distracted with the rest of everything in life.

    *"THINK! It's not illegal... yet."

    2. No organized religion has it right. They all contain some Universal Truths, but I feel like none of them encompass the entire truth. 

    Bottom line is organized religion was created by man. God wants a one-on-one relationship with you and He has no need of your money or your adherence to a specific location in order to communicate with Him. Speaking to God should be done however, wherever, and whenever you feel led to do so. Anyone who says differently is either trying to control you, get your money, or is a spiritual infant (or some combination of the three).

    If you're in a life threatening situation, do you wait for your spiritual leader to show up before you pray? NO, of course not! I rest my case.

    Therefore, my ideology is comprised of many beliefs that span several world religions. My advice to anyone on any sort of spiritual quest is to do what rings true within yourself, since we are all given different journeys and purposes within the tapestry of existence. Every thread is an individual woven into the whole. Concern yourself with your path, do your best to spread the light you carry within yourself, and don't judge others for the directions their path takes. Play nice and live well to the best of your ability. End of sermon.

    3. I believe everyone should learn about their astrology chart. It is basically your own personal instruction manual. I'm not talking about the horoscope in the paper full of basics regarding the sun sign only; it's a trivialization of astrology and is mostly laughable to... well, everyone.

     Your actual natal birth chart, however, is based on your date, time, and place of birth; and can give you a deeper understanding of yourself. Interestingly enough, similar to the Bible, your chart will reveal things anew time and again throughout your life should you choose to keep looking. Free charts are available at Astro.com and I've used them for many years.

    In my chart (pictured above), I found a Mercury Cazimi (super rare aspect formed when Mercury and the Sun are less than 17 minutes -not degrees- apart) which lends to communications genius of sorts. In addition, my Saturn is conjunct my Ascendant (again, super rare) which means that I showed up in this lifetime with heavy karmic debt. It also makes me fairly serious, and when I'm in a group of people, I'm often mistaken for 'the boss' by outsiders to the group. This, again, is rare for a Pisces since we are often portrayed as a stereotypical flighty creative.

    4. Similarly, doing a Meyers-Briggs test to find out your personality type is infinitely helpful in understanding how you process the stimulus of your life in this reality. I have taken several because my personality type is both the most rare, (INFJ) and the most often mistyped. The best free online test can be found at Truity. 

    I also found this group for INFJs when I uncovered my type, and it made me feel more seen than I expected. I now understand why I'm a complete junkie in my research until I feel I've learned what I needed to find out and drop the subject completely for another topic (among other things). I hope if you take the test, your type is as much of a revelation for you as it was for me.

    5. The language of the Universe is numbers. Understanding the meanings of the numbers can help you navigate life around you as well as more about yourself. There is far more to this world than what we see with our eyes, and it's one of the ways the unseen communicates with the seen. Several sources for numerology are available. I recommend older ones like the book, "The Spiritual Meanings of Numbers" by Belle Motley. It seems newer sources and websites rely on too much AI and make-it-up-as-you-go slap-dash for my personal research comfort level. 

    6. Tesla was right. The world and all of it's many facets consist of energy, frequency, and vibration.  When you are able to understand the simplicity of this concept as well as how complex it's effect on your life is, everything changes.

    One of the practices that uses this concept is Reiki (energy healing). I've been attuned to Reiki for many years, so when I stumbled across Tesla's theory I realized I already had a working knowledge of the energy concept and ran from there. If you are interested in becoming attuned to Reiki, I was told when I started learning about it that a genuine Reiki master will not charge a fee for attunement. I have seen a lot of pay sites since, but in my opinion that muddies the waters between the free-flow of  the healing energies and the motive to make money. So, I recommend a free attunement with a certificate which should show your lineage. I provided a link to one that attunes to two types of Reiki on a monthly basis, but please do your own research and use a site that speaks to you.

Now that you know all of that...

When I was originally touched by the Holy Spirit (a story in itself for another post) I asked what I was doing here - in this life on Earth. While I was expecting an answer like, "You're a mom" or some basic thing like that, I was instead told, by a small, still voice something that I would have never come up with on my own (which is one of the ways I knew that it wasn't me answering myself).

"You're a Philanthropist."

That phrase entered me with the full weight of understanding that this was my purpose. I was instantly happier than I had ever been and I smiled from the inside out for the first time in my entire life. 

I, of course, thought I would hit the lotto the very next day and begin to build libraries and hospitals. 

Well, I've held onto that phrase and the knowledge that my purpose was imparted to me by the Holy Spirit for over 20 years, and I've been a below-poverty-level member of the 'working poor' nearly all of my professional life. 

Turns out, the correct definition of philanthropist is: one who makes an active effort to promote human welfare. 

Not a syllable about money (funny how things like words get twisted into misconceptions). Clearly, money is not involved in my designation.

I finally figured out that with all of my 'rarities' and their various results on my person as a whole; the best way for me to be a philanthropist is to use the gifts imparted to me both within myself as a person and from the breadth of my experience and write (despite what my staid, conservative, wet-blanket Saturn says about the value of writing versus, say accounting as a profession). 

Therefore, I write here with the fervent hope that what comes from it will promote human welfare despite the world as it currently is; either regardless of or because of how rare my viewpoint of the world may be. 

Welcome to Gigi Seezie.

*"THINK! It's not illegal... yet." Eddie Griffin: You Can Tell 'Em I Said It, 2011

*UPDATED: And then I wrote a little book about praying big *wink*, and to streamline everything, I revamped Gigi Seezie, a pseudonym, and have put my own name to everything. Which, tbh, I had no intention of ever doing. I like being anonymous! It fits my INFJ and Pisces and every other thing right down to my toes. But apparently, I'm not supposed to lie about my identity. *sigh* So, for better or worse, Gigi Seezie is Aria Ziemian.
