It is a very tough path, for there are many who spy it and enjoy crushing the vulnerability they see.
Great strength and resilience is manifested in this state. Overcoming the hurt of betrayal and outright cruelty.
It is a mental, emotional and energetic feat.
Open Heart.
Remaining loving, knowing that in your presence are those who make it their mission to destroy the innocence and pure intention in you, feelings of childlike wonder and joy.
Hurting.
Heart Open.
An apparent reckless willingness, to shoulder the pain, speaking openly.
Standing in the midst of ferocious, growling, hungry (needless?) eaters …
Heart Open.
Letting others see the truth of Love’s intent, its willingness to never shut down, to keep itself from the world, even while being buried into the ground.
Heart Open.
Courage … labeled as self-sabotage. Gathering wisdom and strength every time a hurdle is hopped and a few meters gained.
Heart Open.
Loving the Divine within the Temple housing the Soul.
Heart Open.
Learning as much as you can, about as much as you can … pertaining to Self, and the All that surrounds.
It’s time to pay attention to your “actions” because Mars is retrograde until February 2025.
(It seems some folks decided to ‘go forth’ anyway. Interesting visitations and events lately.)
During Mars Retrograde~
1. Don’t Argue, Fight or Start a War – Mars rules War. During Mars retrograde it’s a bad time to initiate a fight or dispute, because the aggressor usually backs off or loses. It’s a horrible time to start a war or begin a military action against another country because there isn’t a strong will or desire to complete the action. The invading country is likely to be the loser.
2. Don’t Have a Surgery – Mars rules surgery and is associated with surgeons. It also rules anything made of iron, including “cutting things.” If possible, avoid surgical procedures. Mars is a physical planet and during the retrograde, injuries and accidents related to carelessness (e.g. cutting) can occur more frequently. For that reason it’s considered a poor time for elective surgery. It’s not even a good time to find a new barber, hairstylist or any professional who works with a knife or scissors.
3. Don’t Start New Activities – If you do begin a new enterprise during Mars retrograde, your efforts to produce results will meet with greater frustration than usual. Projects are likely to stall or not develop as expected. You’ll find your energy level is lower than normal, making it harder to produce the success you had intended. If you’ve already started something, slow down and reassess your plans, adjust expectations and work through obstacles that are getting in the way of results.
It’s not a favorable time to start a new business with co-workers and partners. You’ll find that people will be unusually argumentative, and easily irritated when projects or activities do not run smoothly. Often the discord is so great, that even people, who normally get a long well, become angry and disruptive. The results are often poor decision-making based out of frustration, instead of patience and open dialogue.
4. Don’t Begin a Law Suit or Divorce – A lawsuit or divorce can be a fierce battle. Since Mars rules wars and battles, it’s not a good time for initiating a legal action. A lawsuit that’s initiated has no punch, with a high likelihood that the plaintiff will back off or end up the loser. If you’re trying to mediate a dispute, you’re likely to find yourself in heavy disagreement and not able to find common ground with the opposing party. When you present your side of the argument, there’s a lack of energy and passion in what you say that doesn’t compel the mediator to your point of view. To obtain better results in a lawsuit or mediation, wait until Mars goes direct on May 20th. (Note: Often during this retrograde you’ll hear about many high-profiled, celebrity separations and acrimonious divorces.)
5. Don’t Buy Mechanical Things – Mars rules anything made of iron such as engines and cutting tools. This is not a reliable time to purchase an automobile or any mechanical equipment. Just in the same way that Mercury retrograde can play havoc with the operation of cars and other machinery, you’ll find that computers and other equipment break down break more during Mars retrograde. In fact, if you have any mechanical equipment in need of repair, use this period to get it done quickly.
Use the Mars retrograde period, to slow down and reassess what you want and desire – before you take further action.
I now close the unfinished stories, unresolved situations, and poorly digested past experiences.
I put an end, a enough, a much needed limit on what no longer makes sense in my life.
I agree to complete this phase of my life freeing myself from everything that tied me to the old and the outdated.
May my past experiences not bring me the weight of pain, but wisdom to guide my steps.
May I never remain in what constrains, suffocates or limits me.
May I know how to let go of everything that is unproductive, that I be open to the new!
I allow myself to flow with life, changes and transformations.
I put an end to all the pain that I had not overcome, all the emotional disappointments that I have suffered, all the scarcity that I have experienced, all the physical and emotional woes, and all the woes that have bound me in the past.
In the name of my Holy Presence I Am, I decree that all knots, all misunderstandings and all discrepancies be broken now.
I now break all old, unpleasant and challenging cycles.
I am aware that I have served my purpose for these cycles, and that they have served their purpose for me as well.
I move on with learning and maturing ready for the new cycle that begins.
I accept endings and open myself to the blessings of new beginnings, to all the love, to all the health, to all the abundance and prosperity that await me.
“Who art thou, and for what reason art thou here, O mortal?” the Angel asked.
For some people it’s not about love, it’s about need.

What if I said yes to the moon? What if I let my calendar mind fall quiet and forget Let that incessant load of lists get parked Over there, by the side of the road That I used to follow when I thought I knew who I was when I thought I knew what I was ~ Clare Dubois, Founder of TreeSisters

God disguised as a myriad things and playing a game of tag has kissed you and said, “You’re it – I mean, you’re really IT!” Now it does not matter what you believe or feel for something wonderful, Major-League Wonderful is some day going to happen. ~ Hafiz
Awareness … it’s a beautiful thing.
—————————————
Courageous is the soul who adventures into time and space to learn of their divinity. For while they cannot lose, they can think they have, and the loss will seem intolerable. And while they cannot fail, they can think they have, and the pain will seem unbearable. And while they cannot ever be less than they truly are – powerful, eternal, and loved – they can think they are, and all hope will seem lost.
And therein lies their test. A test of perceptions: of what to focus on, of what to believe in, in spite of appearances.
YOU are divine.
—————————————
God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls, and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He’s working on you too.
A year ago today, I heard myself pray, “I’m sorry I’m so stubborn. It was necessary in order to survive.” Right away the thought, “Why are you apologizing for it then?”
So I share with you.
If you did the very best you could in order to pull through the chaos, without hurting anyone intentionally, don’t apologize for making it. Recognize the resilience of your Soul and Spirit. Be grateful for what resides in you.
Be aware of the subtle energies of those in your environment.
Realizing they were against you, needing your services. You’re not required to be “servant” to the envious, jealous, deceitful ones who plan to get in your energy and claim your gifts, unaliving you into suffering if they could. Tricking you into a bad outcome.
Allow the “Two to be One”.
This connection you share … the two, separately, already intertwined with the Most High Divine … as One … are very, very strong. Transmitter / Receiver of The Most High God, Divinity itself moving through this couple, United, as it moves through no other pair.
Do not let “people” interfere with the Power of the Divine moving in you. They aren’t in this connection, they aren’t the ones TMH moves through, as it moves through you.
Listen to the Divine Let it guide you Let it lead you Let it provide the people what they need While monitoring them And removing them, should they have desire to remove you.
“She drifted aimlessly in the dark void; a dark mist of energy not knowing whether She was awake or asleep. She only knew that she existed. Then, very slowly at first She became aware of a pull on her energy from somewhere else that was attracted to Her and She knew that their coming together was imminent. She was filled with pleasure at the thought of merging with a new energy and felt a new force emerging in her consciousness; the force of LOVE. She and He combined causing them to expand creating Space and Time and the birth of the Universe” ~ An Ancient creation story.
For me it was difficult to achieve. I am an intense individual who senses other energies greatly.
I will remember, although two people can be on different levels of awakening and find it difficult to relate to one another, it is still possible to have love for each other.
In allowing myself the freedom to express and experience fully, I gladly understand that those I love may not be able to relate to me as I would like. However, I still love and am so very appreciative they are, and have been a part of my life.
