Envisioning the path of the highest good with an optimistic outlook, the gift of a miracle will be yours. Things come together as if by magic. You have every reason to be hopeful. Move forward, knowing that you have everything you need and more. Just remember to share the enthusiasm, believe in others, and be optimistic for them too, and your good fortune will multiply.
See the higher purpose to events. Not everything is meant to come to pass according to your specifications. If you can’t see the forest through the trees, stand back for a while. Perhaps it’s time to speak to someone who has objectivity and an ability to see the bigger picture where you don’t. Remember, even when things don’t go the way you expect, there’s always a reason for the detour.
Shine your light and do not give in to fear. Are you hiding yourself for fear of rejection? Are you as afraid of success as you are of failure? The light of the Divine shining within you is the power that expresses through you. This, not your ego, is the authentic place of self-expression.
Look at how you are affected by ‘glitter’, ‘glamour’, and the superficial dreams of society. Are you mesmerized by false power? The material world is fleeting; nothing lasts forever. Make your intentions come from deep within you, and don’t base them just on money or power or what you think love will do for you. Ask instead what you can offer, what you can give.
True wealth resides within peace, harmony, and a sense of purpose. Remember that Light isn’t garish and cold, nor is it manufactured – it’s warm and brilliant and natural. Give up the attachment to the outer goal, and if it’s meant to be yours, it will surely come.
Be yourself. Your power is who you really are. Resist the urge to creat a false identity. You will overcome adversity by developing your own strengths. We are so much more than we think we are. We may be frightened or going through a difficult time, but if we reach down to the place where our best self is, we will be able to triumph over adversity.
Pleasure should be made a priority – actively seek it. Do not forget what makes you happy. Become more aware of the obstacles to your own pleasure. If we don’t allow ourselves to experience pleasure, whether it take the form of laughter, play, sensuality, or practicing our talents, we are less than whole. We need to recognize that, over time, we are much less effective in our emotional and public lives if we do not experience regular doses of pleasure. If we focus too much on serious issues and take ourselves too seriously, then our lives are not complete.
It is wonderful to be alone and to be able to do as one pleases. Independence is a gift. It is time to create your own life. Run your own race. The time has come for focus. Sometimes maintaining a fierce independence can mean we exclude people and opportunities. If we hold ourselves apart from others, we may not be as empathic as we could be. We also may forget that to have true balance, we need to maintain both the masculine and the feminine energies within us. Should we distance ourselves too much from one or the other, we may not forgive transgressions from the opposite sex easily. It’s important that we stay true to who we are without being too separate from others.
It is time to release an old belief or bad habit. Imbalances of all kinds will fall away. Your pain will soon ease. Think carefully about what it is you wish to unburden and release. Remember not to throw out the good with the bad.
You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful. While healthy anger can fuel wise action, rage rarely does. There is a big difference between expressing healthy anger and expressing the uncontrolled negative energy of rage; it is worth knowing your triggers.
You are enough. Build your self-esteem from the inside out. It’s your turn to shine. Be the sunshine in your own life! We have to understand how truly important we are – to those around us and to the world at large. Without building true self-esteem from the inside out, creating a true love of ourself, we are limited in what we do.
The effects of low self-esteem can permeate our lives easily! When we don’t love ourselves or when we only rely on others for our love, it is difficult to stay balanced, keep our boundaries, have a healthy body image, be successful, and simply enjoy life to its fullest. We see the effects particularly when we shy away from taking positive risks and growing. Having positive self-esteem means we shine, and that is evident for all to see.
Strength …
Healthy fierceness is required. Strengthen your physical body. Walk forward in pride and know that you can fight any battle. You need to strike a balance between masculine and feminine. Healthy fierceness is a positive trait in situations that require it. Setting boundaries is necessary for our success.
Self-love …
Romantic love comes into focus. Build your love of self from the inside out. You only fear because you lack self-love and acceptance. Jealousy is unnecessary. We are born perfectly lovable and ready to accept our own beautiful selves. Developing love from the inside out, rather than outside in, is encouraged. This way, we do not rely on anyone to give us our sense of self-worth or self-esteem – we know we are worth it. Without a healthy love of self, we reduce our personal power, often falling into petty jealousies, judging our bodies, and numbing our minds.
Equality …
An equal partnership is a positive goal. Your personal power may be challenged. Recognize the need for a balance of power in your body and in your relationships.
Do not give up; there is hope yet. A long-held wish may will be granted, when all else has failed.
Decided to go for a joy ride despite there not being much “sunshine” in the day. It was still pretty amazing. Nature never ceases to impress me.
FungiPanorama #1Panorama #2Snail friendSorry kids. You can walk the trail, but you cannot play on the equipment. New growth, uncurling and reaching upward.
As I think about “new growth” I am reminded that growth, no matter the kind, is emotionally challenging, even physically challenging, but the most difficult is the energetic challenge, for it is charged by emotion and past negative conditioning. The nervous system rebels against change like a dying life form.
Do you think that our ‘mental condition’ (or life form) rebels every time there is change? Could this be why people are walking triggers much of the time? Because we are all constantly in a state of flux … never really ‘settled’?
When change comes, how does your body respond? Your mind? Do you find yourself tensing up? Pushing back? Rebelling?
To embrace change is a challenge all in itself. The pit of the stomach might feel like vomiting all over the place, your mind might be screaming in a mental agony, you may cry and holler to god or whomever you choose to make it stop, to keep it the same, to just make the uneasiness end, and comfort to once more be the base you find yourself in.
Unfortunately, when change comes, there is no thwarting it. Fight it as we may. (I know I am).
So, how do we ease our minds?
Personal Suggestions (may not be for all people):
1) Do not drink alcohol
2) Do not abuse drugs
3) Do not smoke (it dirties the energy, making one susceptible to energetic ‘attachments’)
4) Eat clean foods. Choose nearby, open farm raised meats if you eat it, and eggs and shop at local farmers markets when able.
5) Breathe intentionally. If anxiety or some stressful energy comes over, breathe, methodically, in and then out until eased. (Try a six second in breath, and a 6 second out breath.)
It is important that we support our bodies, our minds, especially in these times. We may not be able to gather, but Nature can replenish our supply. Let it.
It is also important we start supporting our local communities in other ways.
The days of frivolous behaviors are being left behind. It WILL cause discomfort, for the change will be great.
May inner fortitude and courage be yours as we transition into this new era.
LOVE resides in the center of the soul. This love is what makes you, you. It is what powers your heart, and the energies you pour into the world.
According to Rabbi David A. Cooper, the Soul is a pillar upon which Creation rests upon.
Warning: If invisible people come into your psyche, requesting that you “sacrifice” your soul, do NOT entertain them! It will be difficult, for they have hooks they implant to the mind.
Your love, your soul, is what keeps you from becoming a demon.
Firm up!
Know the value of your Soul … of your Love … and the crucial necessity of you being present here with us in these times.
Retain, and maintain the light that dwells there in the Soul. Grow Love like you’ve never grown it before.
May blessing, courage, and inner-fortitude be yours.
I had some running around to do today and I found myself at Fred Meyer after a time to purchase a few things.
As I entered the checkout line, I came behind another who was male. The groceries he was purchasing looked odd for a man. Fresh vegetables galore! I thought, he must be vegetarian.
I mentioned that I liked his grocery list, that is was rare to see a man with these items being bought. He said his wife gave him the list.
The teller said shopping and cleaning was women’s work. The fellow in front of me stated that women do not receive a salary for raising children, and he wanted to step up where he could. And that he cleaned frequently at home to help out.
I said, “I’m going to love you, right now. Tell your wife.” And he proceeded to look a tad uncomfortable as he rolled away with his cart full of the good stuff.
The teller continued to tell me how cleaning was women’s work. He said he’d build a fence or whatever, but that was women’s work. That he did not like it. I told him, “None of us like it, we do it because it needs to be done.” (Except, I really do not like housework, and I have fur everywhere from my doggies, so, my place is never pristine).
Anyhow, I found it quite interesting seeing these two males, in stark contrast to each other. One, willing, and putting in the effort to help his woman. The other, blatantly stating he is not a partner, but an expector, a chaos maker, rather than a soother.
I drove away in amazement. I wondered if there would ever be a male that would want to partner with me in such a way. Unfortunately, my experiences have not included the sacred male, just his self-centered counterpart of the masculine.
I wonder, am I a bad person? (Am I that which I see and have experienced?) How is it that I never encountered a true partner, but instead those who were out seeking their own gratification, not ever considering my heart, or my love. Instead, tossing it (me) to the curb when they were ‘finished’ with me.
I’m told I have an attitude problem. My thought is it was developed by man. He forced it into life by not being a sufficient partner, able or willing to handle the fire this one woman embodies.
My hope is that selfishness will leave the building once and for all. For ALL.
It is amazing to me how people think they have permission to be cruel, and still go to heaven, while believing those they have judged will not.
This does NOT mean I do not believe in God. I certainly do. And I’m afraid I’m not measuring up. And if I’m not measuring up, that means those who judge me are probably not either.
Let us clean up our own houses, our own inner temple. Stop looking outside and blaming the world for your situation. We cannot do that. We must create a beautiful situation from our own inner fortitude.
Do you think a person, who relies on another to solve their problems, will ever solve a single problem themselves?
No. It’s a partnership. And a partnership that is only half functioning is not a sufficient partnership.
Karma. It’s a real thing.
Self-righteousness is also.
Be aware of where you are in your own thinking and action.
There are many in this country, indeed this world, who say Peace is not possible, that with millions, and billions of different personalities it simply cannot exist.
I argue that when millions and billions of people the world over sit with this thought form, focused so intensely, believing it to be true, it IS. This is a powerful thought form, an egregore created by a massive amount of people … which is exactly why Peace has not occurred.
People want to strike! Argue their point! Be right!
Seems the days of cooperation and compromise are over.
If folks would instead focus intensely on the future they desire to see, pouring their energies and actions in forward momentum toward that ‘future’, things would shift dramatically.
The road called me for a joyride today. I got lost, and more lost, and lost deeper yet. Turn left, turn right, keep going for miles and miles. Finally having to ask a lady walking her dog how to get back to town. I crossed county lines repeatedly as I travelled the country roads.
I parked and walked for a very long time along an overgrown road/trail. Coming to this place, I see a log and a rock. They appear to be staring at me in the form of a turtle or tortoise. I reach into my purse for my pocket guide “Animal Speak” and I search for the meaning of this vision.
Turtle: (promise) Take your time in your pursuits.Trust in Mother Earth. You will have what you need.
Tortoise: (move through pressure) Pressures are easing and movement is slow but steady. Things will happen in the time and manner best for you. Focus on essentials.
The side of this rural road was peppered with beautiful flowers, small, yet many.
I took several videos and pieced them together. It is slightly long, but my oh my, the scenery!
I hope you enjoyed the journey with me. It brings such joy to be present with creation. I hope you will gain opportunity to commune with the natural world, and receive its blessings.
Okay, here’s the skinny. The answer to your question. The way, the light, the door. The most overlooked truth in reality. And the one that requires the most “uncommon sense” to fully grasp:
When it comes to effecting change (big or little, but especially big), manifesting the life of your dreams, or getting that perfect parking space, “thinking” is immeasurably more valuable when used to imagine what you want — the end result — than to figure out how you’re going to get it. Which is why most people have to schlep through big parking lots.
