Energetic Exchange

Published November 17, 2022 by tindertender

I can’t sit still for a movie in the comfort of my own home, let alone at an outdoor game, in a sea of chaotic emotional energy being blasted off people in a very close and intimate atmosphere. Never did get into it.

There are people addicted to the rush they receive at these events. I think that’s why many are so latched to their favorite sports competitors. The chemical stew released by the brain in all the excitement draws them back time and again, and most think they just like the team, or game.

Folks talk about drug and alcohol addictions and now gambling, but one can become addicted to most anything. It amazes me the lack of personal energetic and emotional awareness in people.

It’s always someone else.

The Giving Tree

Published November 17, 2022 by tindertender

“…And after a long time the boy came back again.
“I am sorry, Boy,” said the tree, “but I have nothing left to give you-
My apples are gone.”
“My teeth are too weak for apples,” said the boy.
“My branches are gone,” said the tree.
“You cannot swing on them-“
“I am too old to swing on branches,” said the boy.
“My trunk is gone,” said the tree.
“You cannot climb-“
“I am too tired to climb,” said the boy.
“I am sorry,” sighed the tree.
“I wish that I could give you something… but I have nothing left. I am an old stump. I am sorry…”
“I don’t need very much now,” said the boy, “just a quiet pleace to sit and rest. I am very tired.”
“Well,” said the tree, straightening herself up as much as she could,
“well, an old stump is a good for sitting and resting. Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest.”
And the boy did.
And the tree was happy.”

~ Shel Silverstein – The Giving Tree, 1964.

Is It A Karmic Relationship?

Published November 17, 2022 by tindertender

Question:
1 how do you know if your in a relationship a karmic?
2 how do you know if you’re the karmic?
3 How long do karmic cycles last?

Answer: Anyone can be a karmic. Karmic connections don’t grow or change, its a continuous cycle of pain and suffering. You’ll know if you’re experiencing no growth. Alot of times when we let go of karmics we experience an influx of abundance after cutting them off. Karmics are draining.

I also want to add that karmics will enable your toxic behaviors. The ones you need to surround yourself with are people that will push you to grow. Karmics will enable your toxic behaviors because they’re co dependent on that version of you.

Answer by @SacredWolfTarot

“A karmic relationship is one that’s filled with all-consuming passion but is extremely difficult to maintain,” explains Sanam Hafeez, PsyD, a neuropsychologist and faculty member at Columbia University. “These relationships aren’t meant to last, she says, but they’re learning experiences for those who have them.

The Program

Published November 17, 2022 by tindertender

“It starts at birth, the programming. We are human beings. That is who we are. That is our identity, each and every one of us. That is our identity. We may be female or male or we may be one race or another but we’re human beings. That is our identity. Everything else is how we’re dressed up. But from the time we’re born, we’re programmed to not perceive reality as human beings. We’re programmed to perceive reality by race, gender, religion, guilt. The purpose of that programming is to create chaos in our thought process. It’s to confuse our real identity. As long as that chaos and confusion exists then we can be manipulated. Our anarchy can be manipulated to serve someone else’s purpose.”
-John Trudell

Remain open.
Don’t draw conclusions.
You’ll miss important details if you’re too rigid in your perceptions.

I mean no disrespect.
I don’t understand this world.
I’m feeling my way through.
Thank you for your kind patience.

Perseverance.
It’s so much easier with friends.

I do what I do.
You do what you do.
It is what it is.

So Long, Autumn

Published November 16, 2022 by tindertender

The days and nights are colder and we prepare to create a ceremony to honor the end of the Autumn Season. The leaves on trees are in full color, some are even bare as the leave have died off in acceptance of winter coming. Bring items of fall to a circle, light a candle or a warming fire, give gratitude for the Autumn you have enjoyed. We say a respectful “good-bye” to everything including the seasons. Do this anytime in the next few weeks. This is also a cool Thanksgiving event for the family.
