What Am I In The Middle Of?

Published May 24, 2020 by tindertender

Have you ever discovered yourself to be ‘in the middle’, trying to play mediator, or most likely, simply keep from going crazy amidst the chaos?

I am in one of these predicaments.

People to the left, right, inner circle, outer circle, and the rest who reside beyond.

When did you discover for the first time that the way you were treating yourself was important to someone? I’m referring to something other than belittling behaviors. I am this years old, and it’s over 50.

A separation is occurring.

It is unfortunate that it is made so easy to be mean to ones self. Cigarettes, booze, drugs, many of which are legal now. An abundance of any kind pollutes the mind, the energy, the spirit and the soul.

Did you hear of the story where the devil was ousted, right here with us, and given permission to tempt the human family into treating themselves poorly? Pleasures for the senses … the kind that pollute the sacredness of being. Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, porn … they dull the mind, dirty the energy, and make benevolent creator powers null and void.

The unfortunate thing is that young people are exposed by adults who are behaving badly toward themselves, not respecting their sacred lives, not honoring their ‘temple’.

Has anyone ever said to you: “Stop treating yourself like garbage!”

Well I just did. So if you are, please stop. Your presence, your full, unadulterated presence is required at this time.

I’m not preaching. I was one of those youths (and adults). Cycling round and round, never seeming to escape the loop.

This is because one does not simply exit the loop. A concerted effort is needed to perform alchemy in the psyche. Concentrated focus is needed to create a new way of being, new habits, new activities.

Leaving behind the ‘old’ is not easy. Habits are difficult to interrupt and reformat. Especially when the environment contains temptation.

How strong is your will? Are you determined to foul your lungs and liver just to gain a false sense of happiness? You know by now this is an illusion, and that it only feeds the monsters.

Leave the party buddies behind and start building your inner fortitude, your spiritual stamina, your soul strength.

I read from a rabbi that the soul is a pillar upon which creation rests. Just recently from the unseen I was told, “The soul is not a pillar upon which creation rests. It IS creation.”

Since the soul IS creation, we ought to tend it better than we’ve been. It is no wonder the earth is so sick.

Look around you, look inside you, are you spiritually healthy? Are you blaming others, not taking responsibility for your personal actions and behaviors? Do you feel justified in causing harm?

If so, you are destroying creation. Every time you hurt a soul, you harm creation.

We are Creators! We are the glue that holds this together!

And yet, so many people would rather tear it down, burn it to the ground, and everyone and everything with it.

THIS is why the planet is being harvested of life right now.

The Creators in this world decided to destroy each other rather than beautify each other.

I suppose we’ll get what we deserve.

If you’d like to live rather than be destroyed, you’d better take your Creatorship seriously. We’d all better start being serious caretakers of our world, and each other.

Oracle Reading 5-24-2020 #2

In this reading, you can read just the italicized portions for a more earthy meaning, or the non-italic portion for a more spiritual meaning. Read both together for a grand picture.

Know what you want and do what works. Refine your abilities. Transfer a skill set from one environment to another. Do not underplay what you are capable of. Give up the idea that you must be good at everything. Narrow your interests and build on your existing strengths to conserve output and increase your value. A creative response to change will see you flourish.

There is a higher purpose to everything, but currently it is not clear. Something in your life is changing, and it is unsettling. Soon, the pieces of the puzzle will start falling into place, and you will begin to find meaning in it. For now, trust in the refinement process, hone your ability for love and develop your capacity for compassion. As taints fall away, the truth becomes clearer.

A feeling that history is repeating. The pattens in your past – in your childhood, in your relationships, in your career – are escapable. Stop and learn the lesson so you can move forward. There is no need to mindlessly (endlessly) hit repeat. Look outside of what you know and break a cycle. Someone, perhaps the universe, is trying to tell you something. A unique response to a repeat problem is needed.

From the flawless patterns of your spirit, a great light shines upon the world. You are a leader, a healer, an inspiration, a free spirit … unrestricted by traditional thinking. A desire to be all you can be, and a vision for positive transformation, draws you into deep exploration and clarity. Break free, reshape your destiny and follow the spiraling, intertwining pathways of peace, love and wisdom.

You are you, in your own right, not as a reflection of circumstance, expectation or assumption. Define and trust yourself. A clear and simple answer betrays the true complexity of an issue. Resist the temptation to take someone or something at face value. A pattern of behavior reveals more than a single gesture. Go deeper, broader and higher to get a fuller perspective.

From the calm, neutral perspective of love, and free from the fear, guilt and judgement of this your higher self looks through the conflict and drama of the physical world and sees hidden meaning and purpose. From a distance, present chaos looks perfectly ordered. Seek greater awareness. Tune into the depths of your heart to find heavenly peace.

Find yourself by losing yourself in a conversation, a story or someone’s eyes. Be vulnerable, be emotional and be moved to deeper understanding. Empathy is required. Let the pain, suffering, love and joy of others find a home in your heart. Accepting another without reservation means accepting yourself, as well.

Focus on the subtle divine force inside you. Recognize this force in all things, for it is in all things and it is everywhere. Separation from the energy, beauty, grace and power of the Divine Mother is an illusion. Feel her fertility and everlasting peace inside you. Through her love, life unfolds with endless blessings. Through you, her love flows out upon the world.

A past or hidden event influences a current situation. Trust issues due to secrecy or deception. A childhood ordeal is brought into the light. Reflect on and draw your own meaning from it. Hold your broken self (or another) in a loving orbit until it is strong and beautiful once more. There are parts of yourself you are yet to realize. Take your time getting to know someone.

Beyond your thoughts there is the mirror of infinity. It is a clear space through which you will see your true reflection. Here you can see your whole self – your shadows and your light. See that you are beautiful. You have nothing to prove, nothing to hide; you are blessed and held in the loving field of the Divine Mother.

Sudden clarity amid adversity. Acute awareness of yourself and your circumstances. Finding unexpected strength and wisdom in a crisis. Realizing the limits of a situation … pressure cannot make diamonds from coal. Challenging a misconception or calling out a false promise. Isolate and develop an idea, talent or goal to excellence, without external influence. Trusting you will have what it takes when it matters.

All soon clears, heals and is resolved. Peace ascends within you like a glorious bud opening to the surface. Realization comes in a dazzling flash, and you will see the world and your soul as blessed as they truly are. Follow love to the peaceful space inside your heart, your power center, from which all is possible and all is available.

It is time to release an old belief or bad habit. Imbalances of all kinds will fall away. Your pain will soon ease.

Ix Chel, I call your name. Woman of the jaguar, dark as night, help me with release.

Recognize your own unique beauty. Stop comparing yourself to others. Real beauty is apparent in all cultures and in all ages. Beauty should not be used as a weapon.

I call upon the energies of beauty! I ask that the goddess charge me with the same spark of awakening and vitality that races through the earth right now. I ask for special help from Helen of Sparta, who embodied mortal beauty. I remove all obstacles in the way of me being filled with beauty, inside and out.

You are loved and protected even through the most difficult of trials. This is a time for healing. You need mothering or to use your mothering energy. Magic is happening!

Mother Isis, daughter of the infinite Nuit, daughter of the earth-rich Geb, wife of Osiris, whom you healed and gave life to, stretch your wings around me! I ask for your protection. I am not afraid. You are with me, Goddess. As you watch above all, as you nourish your children, I humbly as for your love and protection.

Establish a solid home base. Protection is necessary or granted for your space. Keep the home fires burning. You may be moving soon.

I call upon Vesta, Vesta of Rome! I call your blessed name, She of the sacred flame, She of the center of the earth, She who protects all around the holy hearth, I call upon thee.

Allow what you no longer need to be destroyed or reduced. Build your emotional authenticity. You are protected when expressing your true emotions in appropriate ways.

Great lion goddess, Sekhmet, your breath like fire, your eyes golden in the sun, I am grateful for your attention, great one.

It is time to overcome your fears. You are protected as you clear the negatives within your shadow side. Do not be afraid of transition. Express your fears safely.

Great mother, Kali, I call upon you to help me to reduce and destroy my fears. You who kill demons. You who are fearless! Bless me and protect me.

Financial aspects come to the fore. Your prosperity will improve. You can be physically and spiritually rich. Ethics are necessary for real success.

Great goddess Lakshmi, you who take joy in wealth and abundance, hear my prayer. Light the way for better prosperity, both spiritual and monetary.

Change is welcome. Allow the storm to pass, as it is necessary to clear the way. You are protected in your search for equality. Do not misuse your power.

Great goddess Oya, Mistress of the Storms, swirl and blow and tear into my life. Remove what is not serving me, sever it like a knife. Great goddess Oya, Mistress of Change, tornado burning bright, grant me what I need. Blow this my way tonight.

Do not give up; there is hope yet. A wish will be granted. A birth is imminent. Fertility is everywhere.

Silvery goddess of the sea, moon blessed. Goddess of women and wishes, please hear my voice. Yemaya, I ask you to grant my wish(es) and help me flow like the incoming tide toward my highest good.

You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful.

Daughter of the Hare, Queen of the Inceni, Boudicca, hear my call! I call you to join with me. I have a battle to win. I know you will show me my strength and my will. Unite with me Boudicca. Allow me to ride on your chariot as I move forward in trust and power.

Time To Get Clear

Oracle Reading 5-23-2020

Published May 23, 2020 by tindertender

You have a boundary between the darker stormy levels of consciousness and the clear state of mind. Stay clear.

You must stay calm in the face of irritation, wash away the stains of upset, and stay on course through the storms of life.

You can overcome the fear of not being able to achieve and be free to fly above present difficulties.

You may find yourself becoming overactive and competing with those around you. Don’t waste energy in this way or you’ll become exhausted. Learn to let go and trust.

The synthesis and balance of compassion and wisdom: without wisdom, compassion may become sentimental; and without compassion, wisdom will become sharp.

You’re becoming balanced in yourself and therefore able to relate to others as complete beings. Your evolving consciousness allows you to see the positive around you far more than the negative. You’ve found harmony within yourself, and this shines from you; it’s a pleasure to be in your company.

History Repeating?

Published May 22, 2020 by tindertender

A sense that history is somehow repeating. A chance to do things differently, and, perhaps, secure a better outcome. To work with or break a cycle, you need to recognize it. Release stress, tension or anger before it builds to a storm. It may be necessary to walk away from a challenging personality. Difficulty breaking a habit or pattern of thinking. Establish a positive routine.

Through infinite cycles of life, death and rebirth, our souls stretch into timeless repetition. All the whole, your thoughts and actions draw from the past and feed into your future. The journey repeats as often as needed. There is no rushing through to the end. The cycle can be broken through wisdom, through detachment, through memory of the sacred, through a return to life oneness.

Listen, observe and better your chances. Rely on your direct experience. Do not be swayed reputation, gossip or a third party account. Trust your perception and interpretation of a situation. Be wary of gaslighting or of someone who undermines your sense of self and the world around you. Develop and hone your sensitivities.

Your senses are clouded by thoughts and emotions. Try to distance yourself from what others say, detach emotionally, quiet your judgements and clear your thoughts. Find a quiet place, preferably in nature, where you can relax and refresh your perception. Let your instinct guide you to the clear, unmistakable voice that comes not from your thoughts, but from your soul.

Withdrawal to the security of loved ones. Stumbling on or triggering a memory. Stories told in safety. Creative space. A message from the past, for the future. Your body remembers; listen to its story. Deep pain is transformed into wisdom and understanding. An inheritance, legacy or heirloom. Having access to the tools and knowledge you need. Be gentle with who you were and strong about who you will become.

If you are feeling lost, confused or are asking what life is all about, then it may be the perfect time to consult your original self. The one you keep hidden while you grow up and supposedly wiser around it. The sweet, loving, innocent you is not lost. Deep down, you still are that person. The original you exists outside of time, safe and awaiting rediscovery.
