Artists do not allow an outside influence to construct their painting, or other creation. It is born of their own accord.
Remember this when it comes to your character.
Who you are, is the masterpiece YOU create.
It is your art piece.
It is your statement to the world.
An original.
If an outside source is constantly telling you what your painting or creation should look like, what it should represent and so forth, it is no longer your perfect creation … it is tainted by outside influence and it is not 100% authentic.
Embrace YOU
You are magic, walking around spinning off pieces here and there wherever you go, affecting the world around you.
It is powerful
And when pure, authentic character and personhood blooms, it is the rarest flower (or bush, or tree, whatever analogy the masculine might like to use) and no other is quite like it … like YOU.
I had no idea Character Evolution could be so fun.
We get to choose our persona every moment. Who will we be today? Are we grouchy, happy, sad. Do we seem to fluctuate readily and often between such emotional states?
Control Your Mind
Take command of your output.
Of course there will be times when we burst open and spew that which we are attempting to leave behind, it happens. The key is in recognizing it when it happens, and making the shift … choosing your reality, not letting emotion steer the ship. It’ll crash more often than not.
Grab the reigns, ride this wild life like no body’s business!
Becoming the best version of YOU possible, through sheer Will Power!
From the flawless patterns of your spirit, 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.
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 the refinement process, hone your ability for love and develop your capacity for compassion. As taints fall away, the truth becomes clearer.
From the calm, neutral perspective of love, and free from the fear, guilt and judgement of this world, 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.
In these days we can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the chaotic movements and energies around us.
We may become so overwhelmed that it is difficult to know which direction to turn, which project to tackle first, or be completely at a loss as to how to begin lifting the pile of worries from atop our heads.
Breathe.
In times of stress it is typical for us to lose our rhythm. Our muscles contract, our breathing becomes shallow or labored, and may include any form of release … outbursts, tears, fights.
If this is your current experience, stop.
Check in with your heart, your muscles, your breath, NOT the mind. Examine the tensions dwelling within your person. Focus on relaxing them, and releasing them.
Take time every morning to make a vow as to the efforts you will apply to the day.
What will you create? Where and how will you apply your energies to affect a benefit for the whole?
Our energies influence all others, just as ours is influenced by those we encounter.
Distinguish the subtle differences between your energy and that of those you have relationship throughout the day. Become familiar with what belongs to you, and that which you pick up on and absorb.
Reject any energies which are not yours if they are dark. There are many methods of this and I have found the best is to move, breathe and gently push the negative away.
As with all delicate energy work, we must be tuned in order to recognize the varying degrees of flow.
With time and practice, you will easily remove the energetic imprints people add in your experience. You will maintain balance. You will stop ‘reacting’ and will start ‘responding’. You will become an expert at energetic transmutation.
Control your emotions.
Do not be controlled by them.
In all instances, keep humility in mind.
None of us know it all.
Everyone has a lesson to teach.
Everyone has a lesson to learn.
It truly is a team effort, and the more of us who are aware and practicing, the quicker the transmutation process becomes, not only for self and personal relationships, but the flow of the entire world will begin to shift.
Allow yourself to be inspired. Find or be your own muse. If you are feeling uninspired, do something you do not normally do. It’s time to indulge yourself in music, song, dance and poetry.
It is time for a change, and it will be positive. Respect your own natural cycles. Be mindful of seasonal changes and go with the flow taking these into account in your diet and activity level.
You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful.
Financial aspects come to the fore. Your prosperity will improve. You can be physically and spiritually rich. Ethics are necessary for real success.
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!
A relationship of some kind is spotlighted. Re-examine your loyalties or commitments and see if they are still warranted. Petty jealousies must be put aside for the greater good.

Your time of healing is here. Past hurts will recede. Be inspired to create – this in itself is healing. It is your birthright to create.
How to move forward in this healing:
It is never too late to change. Regret is useless. Forgiveness may be necessary. Bravery is valuable.
Celebrate in joyful peace. Be contented with what you have. Dance, sing, love, and create without anxiety. It is time to rest and to cease driving forward for a time.
It is time for a change, and it will be positive. Respect your own natural cycles. Be mindful of seasonal changes and go with the flow taking these into account in your diet and activity level.
We are all irresistible in our own ways. Enjoyment is a natural part of life. Center yourself and be confident among chaos.
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.

Love without condition ~ Do you often find it easier to give advice to others, whilst hiding from the truth that the advice you give is advice you, yourself, neglect to follow? Do you find it easier to nurture others and show them kindness and compassion? It is time to be kind and gentle with yourself; to love you – strengths and weaknesses – without reservation or condition. Nurture yourself. Be kind to yourself, for you are deserving of the same unconditional care and love that you give to others.
Show that you care ~ Do not distance yourself from life and those around you. Reach out. Ask for help or support if you have need. Or, if someone within your circle is in need of care and support then give it without hesitation or question. A trouble shared is a burden halved. Now is not the time to withdraw and be alone, nor is it time to leave another in need. Be aware. Be caring. Be compassionate. Reach out and be a friend and allow others to be a friend to you.
Time to reflect ~ Have you been rushing along, living from one moment to the next without thought or care? Have you failed to notice and acknowledge all that you have achieved and accomplished? Stop. Take a moment to pause and reflect upon all that has happened and all that is happening. See how you have grown. See all you have succeeded in accomplishing. Acknowledge and delight in your journey and understand how it has played a part in creating the you who lives in the present.
Reveal your truth ~ When you were born, your soul shone bright. As you grew, you were taught how to think, how to live, how to believe in a way that makes you fearful to say no. To disagree is to risk alienation from family and society, and so you hide your true thoughts and feelings behind a mask. That mask hides your light. Cast it aside. Embrace and live your truth, and let your soul shine once more.
Seek the lesson ~ Wisdom is born from seeking the lesson in all experiences, both the good and the bad. It is born from the awareness that everything is connected, and that all happens for a reason … even when the reason remains a mystery. Embrace a new idea, new awareness, or the new knowledge that comes from listening to your internal voice, and to the human and non-human teachers and messengers who will come in, and out, of your life. Let them inspire you to explore the unknown pathways.
Embrace the feminine ~ Within ourselves there are two aspects to our nature – the feminine and the masculine. Here in the present, you need to embrace the feminine aspect of your nature and let it guide your steps.now is a time to be nurturing, creative and to connect with nature, home and heart. Listen to your intuition and emotions. Be receptive and compassionate. But remember, whilst you allow your feminine self to be dominant, you need to temper your gentleness with a fire that denies all meekness.
Challenge you perception ~ You cannot challenge an out-dated perception or one born from a lack of understanding if you are unwilling to put aside your feelings and beliefs and embrace another’s point of view. To do so makes you aware of the whole and stands you up on high where you can see that both parties involved in a dispute can act against an injustice. Both can be right, both can be wrong, and what one may perceive to be harmful, may be seen as both healing and beneficial by the other.
Time to ground ~ We all experience moments in our lives when we feel confused, unfocused and surrounded by chaos and turmoil. These moments are often unavoidable, as are lessons these moments can impart. But how you respond to them is a choice only you can make. Take a deep breath and a moment to pause and reconnect with Gaia and nature. Seek the silence of the void within whist your spirit spirals downward to anchor itself like an ancient tree root in the cleansing embrace of the earth beneath you.
Have courage ~ There are times when you feel small, afraid and alone in the world, but you are not alone. You are watched over and cherished by Gaia and Great Spirit. Know that you have within you the strength to overcome all obstacles placed in your path no matter how daunting or large they may seem. Have courage. Now is the time to trust in yourself and have confidence that you will overcome all.
Change is unavoidable ~ Every second of every day you undergo change. Your perception is altered by what you see, feel and experience from one moment to the next. Your body ages and moves closer to death with every breath. Autumn will always come to end the bounty of Summer, and the new hope of Spring will always follow Winter. Change is all around you. Do not let your fear bind you to the past and prevent you from enjoying your present and future. Stop fighting. You cannot resist the inevitable so choose instead to embrace it with acceptance and peace.
Know you belong ~ You have place. You have purpose. You are special. Do not change who you are just so others might accept you. Do not dishonor your truths by allowing someone else to tell you who you must be. Change made just so you fit the expectations or Iberia of a clique or group does not honor you. You do not need to change in order to belong. You are a blessed child of Gaia and Great Spirit and belong simply because you are.
Respect your boundaries ~ Others will not respect the emotional boundaries that you set within your relationships if you do not respect them yourself. Know yourself. Love yourself. If you do not accord yourself with the same care you desire from others, then you will not be shown care. If you do not honor your own truths and dreams then nobody else will. Honor yourself by treating yourself with the same care, and in the same manner, that you wish others treat you.
Reading from the deck “Messenger Ted by Ravynne Phelan
You are being gently warned of untruths, denial, and unsupportive thoughts and words in any area of your life. If you’ve been dishonest in any way, it’s time to make amends. Change your tune; otherwise, your impact on the world will not be as effective as you would like. Even if you were to be successful as an immediate result, there would be a price to pay later.
If others are being unsupportive toward you, know that it’s them, not you. Don’t take the world personally. Remember that you don’t have to engage others when the project their own fears and negativity onto you.
Another message here is about how you speak about yourself. Do you say self-deprecating words? Do you minimize yourself so as not to intimidate others? Do you refer to yourself as less than beautiful? Time to change those unconscious statements now! It’s not difficult to change things, as we are always given a choice to make new decisions. As long as you remain positive and supportive, the rest will quickly melt away until all you perceive is the highest good for all. All you need is a desire to change and be positive and you will be help to win the game of life!
Powerful forces of change are being brought to your life. Expect a sudden shift in your circumstances. Perhaps a situation your weren’t anticipating arises and offers you the opportunity of a lifetime, or a series of “AHA!” moments culminates in a pivotal flash of insight causing everything to change “just like that”. Maybe someone enters your life and pushes you to new heights. You may have a brilliant idea that hits you like lightening.
Be prepared: Change in imminent, and a total paradigm shift may be upon you. Don’t resist the changes, as this kind of lightening isn’t something you want to fight. Great things are happening.
Be mindful of codependency and enmeshment. You are invited to address how overwhelmed you may be around other people. Do you pick up on their feelings like a sponge? Do you feel you need to heal them so that you can feel better?
Get grounded. Be clear about your own personal boundaries, and restrain yourself when you feel like jumping in to help without being asked. There is a warning against forming unhealthy relationships in any area of your life.

Walk in confidence with this knowing and all the doors of life will “Magically” open. ~ Jody
Take time for the dreamer in you. Find your power in stillness. In your sacred space is the peace you seek.
You have seen and unseen allies. Draw upon their strength. Join forces with friends and flourish.
Laugh at yourself. Lighten your heart. Let nothing steal your happiness.
Be grateful for abundance. Live in appreciation for what you have, and more good things will come.
Be open for whatever comes next. It might just be the music your heart’s been waiting to hear.
“Be careful of your thoughts, for they become your words. Be careful of your words, for they become your actions. Be careful of your actions for they become your habits. Be careful of your habits, for they become your character. Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny.” ~ Unknown
