Pain Transmutation

Published May 6, 2020 by tindertender

My longest known friend of 30 years and I have history … a lot of history.

Yesterday, I unleashed on him. Something he wanted to talk about, kept putting it in my face, triggered a memory of pain from our past, and I lit into him. And I left, pissed.

Later, I called and came back by for a conversation.

You see, it is not his fault I carry pain. Sure, he participated in circumstances, but it is I who have yet to heal my trauma, learning how to love me, more completely.

I realized, that while I speak frequently about the “blame game” and how it does no one any good, I actually hopped on board the blame train yesterday, and I felt as tho I failed myself, and my friend.

The time to have these conversations was at least 20 years ago.

It is not my intention to cause suffering for a man who is in his final years. As I mentioned, the time for these conversations was a long time ago, and I chose not to have them then. The time for talking of the past is gone.

The time for healing trauma from the past is now. Without pointing fingers and taking the easy way out, by offloading pain into another being …. human or animal.

Too many people choose to put their pain onto another life form, regardless of their lack of participation in the original offense.

We must learn to transmute our pain, NOT spew it into the world, exacerbating and intensifying the pain already in the world. No, transmutation is the only way.

How to do this?

I cannot say for certain.

Yesterday I drove into the forest. I veered onto a road which turned off the main highway and I followed it for awhile. There were no vehicles or people there.

I pulled over to the side of the road and got my folding chair out of the car and had a seat. I began to pray.

Now, I’m not a regular praying type of gal. When young, my Prayer was done in song, and talk, into the seemingly empty forest. This is where I found myself once again. And so I began speaking.

I spoke of my feelings and how I am aware that blaming others for our pain is unacceptable. I asked earnestly to be shown how to transmute my pain so I did not leak it into the world. I prayed for a better understanding, so I could stop making assumptions based on a skewed perspective.

I asked for release, so I could offer it to my friend.

I choose to remain in love. And it isn’t always easy.

Looking for ways, asking for spiritual assistance, to shift perspective, clean up past emotional trauma, and move forward in a clean state of being, a state which only increases love with each encounter, rather than leaving behind anything that might cause doubt, anxiety, or any form of negative thought patterns in those I encounter.

https://medium.com/@paintopower7/transmuting-pain-into-power-f823087d1fe. According to Nicola, here are a few steps toward inner alchemy.

1) Face it Feel it. The first step of transmuting pain into power is to allow yourself to feel your emotions.

2) Pick up your jewels. The second step of transmuting the pain into power is recognizing that no experience should be left on the ground.

3) Don’t sit on it, share it. The final step in transmuting pain into power in my humble opinion is to share the lesson of it.

https://intuitiveartists.org/blog-posts/category/the-art-of-transmuting-pain. According to Jan, Emotional and even physical pain is the way our bodies (and hearts) tell us, “Pay attention to me. See me and understand me. Witness me and get curious about why I showed up here, and then I can be on my way.” It’s really only when we keep denying it or believing we’re truly oppressed by the pain that it shows up over and over again to teach us differently.

https://www.paintransmutation.com/. This site offers courses in transmutation. Healing from pain, trauma, sadness and energetic imbalance is a conscious choice. You have to decide that you deserve to live and feel free from pain and follow that decision through.

Will you transmute pain, sorrow, fear, loneliness and trauma with Soul Alchemy and love?
Will you break the karmic cycle with your awareness?
Will you accept your sacred path, and become what you are and always have been?
A fierce vessel of healing!

Pain can be our gift, or it can be our ruin.

Change Is Inevitable

Published May 5, 2020 by tindertender

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.

Resilient Progression

Published May 3, 2020 by tindertender

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.

The Importance of the Soul

Published May 2, 2020 by tindertender

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.

Who Is The Savior?

Published May 1, 2020 by tindertender

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.

Creator Alert!

Published April 30, 2020 by tindertender

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.

Let us begin by seeing the beauty in the moment.

Let us expand on that.

With Love.

Have You Put Two And Two Together Yet?

Published April 30, 2020 by tindertender

The Coronavirus, or Covid-19 is known as a “crown”.

The name “coronavirus” is derived from Latin corona, meaning “crown” or “wreath”, itself a borrowing from Greek κορώνη korṓnē, “garland, wreath”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus

What did the bastards supposedly do to Jesus? That’s right, they “crowned” him, to cause him pain, to mock his authority. And they killed him, silencing him, showing him who was really boss.

According to three of the Gospels, a woven crown of thorns was placed on the head of Jesus during the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. It was one of the instruments of the Passion, employed by Jesus’ captors both to cause him pain and to mock his claim of authority. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_of_thorns

We are currently being told to stay home. Mothers being arrested for taking their children to the park. All while “elected” officials fight to release prisoners like the Green River killer from federal prisons.

This is about silencing humanity. Cover your mouth. Don’t speak to anyone. Do not come into contact with anyone. Do as you are told, don’t tempt “authority”. Slave. And they use fear to manipulate the masses. Who willingly fall into line. Not realizing they’ve been “crowned”.

It is said that there will be a great harvest of life from this planet. A male in the unseen told be humanity is a “commodity”. An energetic ‘food’, if you will. One of the most potent energies comes from those in fear, or in anger. Psychic vampires are NOT fictional. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychic_vampire

Many are giving the “hidden enemies” what they want. Catering to the fear. Becoming angry with their family, friends, neighbors, and anyone else they might disagree with. Attacking their fellow human beings who see what is happening, and are willing to walk into the fear rather than shrink from it. Man, turning against his neighbor.

We’ve got to climb out of the well folks. Death comes to us all, we cannot escape it. Ever. Any of us.

Will you LIVE in fear? Or will you grow Love, compassion, care, and a proper community who actually works together for the benefit of the whole?

Or will you choose to eat lab grown meats some very wealthy people are investing money in, for the future feeding of the populace? Some say they use dna of the animals, some say they use human dna. One step away from cannibalism, or is it? https://futurism.com/neoscope/bill-gates-startup-crispr-lab-meat; http://www.bitelabs.org/

Or will you allow mercury, aluminum, blood from Tom Hanks (or whomever), and aborted fetal tissues to be injected into you once, if not more times per year? Damaging you immune system, your cellular structure, your mind? https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tom-hanks-jokes-wants-coronavirus-vaccine-called; https://www.publichealth.org/public-awareness/understanding-vaccines/goes-vaccine/

Do you honestly believe Creator screwed up when he made the human race? Do you honestly believe it is a ‘man’, with the assistance of ‘scientists’, who was sent to manipulate the human bio form for “the benefit of life”?

Serious evaluation must be done in each mind. Stop believing lies told by the media. Stop allowing the “hype” to jack your energies all out of shape, causing you to be anything but kind.

Who you choose to be is up to you.

Moving Forward

Inspiration

Do not let go of the dreams, ideals, and creativity of youth. Whatever is happening, you’re able to keep the clarity and objectivity of your dreams alive.

The Guardian King of the West

His time is evening, and the element he guards is Fire. He is seen holding a symbol of enlightened mind (stupa) in his right hand and a snake in his left. The stupa reminds us that in order to grow toward enlightenment, we have to grasp and overcome conflicting emotions.

Cloudform

You have the potential for energy that will enable the completion of any action. This is a time of focusing and accomplishing your aims. You’re ready to take off in a new direction, unbound by heavy baggage. You can successfully direct your energies toward new efforts. You have the energy to achieve your goals.

The Space Dragon

The highest wisdom is often the simplest. You have the potential to develop pure consciousness. The wisdom that you seek is transcendental – no matter how far you’ve come on this journey, you know that there’s no rush and that patience now means everything. You help others to find stillness.

Passion’s Fire

You are a genuine character of magnetism and ardent love, with the capacity to experience intense emotion and the fulfillment of your desires. You’ve reached a stage in your life where you’re comfortable with yourself – what others see is what they get! Your honesty attracts people to you. You’re now an emotional warrior, unafraid to face the trials and tribulations of life.

Clarity

You are the stillness in the midst of turmoil, with inner knowingness and acceptance. You’re becoming stable and calm and developing the ability to see through the curtain of your own and others’ emotions. You’re steady and at peace. This energy flows out from you and affects the well-being of others without your realizing it.

Connections

You have the quality of complete openness, absolute potential. You are connected to all beings. Everything is linked by the vastness of space. You feel connected to all of life. You’re developing empathy for all beings and are beginning to understand others. You’re now noticing people’s similarities more than their differences and realizing that you’re at the dawning of your own conscious awakening.

Whispers on the Wind

This is the inner voice of wisdom, the ability to trust the intuitive messages from within. Your mind is able to flow effortlessly on your spiritual journey. Your resulting actions are spontaneous and appropriate in all situations. You’re true to your inner self, clean and pure. Out give credit where it’s due and don’t sit in judgment of others. Rather, you rejoice in their successes.

Guardian King of the East

His time is dawn, and the element he guards is Water. He is seen playing gentle music on his lute, which soothes the angry mind and brings calm to the world.

The Ring of Fire

We must remember the boundary between our unbridled passions and the Higher Self. You’re emotionally steady and not following your passions headlong into lustful entanglements. You have the ability to steer your passions in an artful and creative way without consuming others with your fire.

The Guardian King of the North

His is midnight, and the element he guards is Air. He is seen holding a mongoose, which is spitting jewels in his left hand, and a banner of victory over the most deadly emotions in his right hand.

Patience Wearing Thin?

Majority of Americans Say They Will Reach Their ‘Breaking Point’ With Stay-at-Home Orders By June

The survey was conducted between April 3rd and 6th, and at that time, 16% said they had already hit their breaking point, with that number rising to 25% within the next two weeks. That would indicate that one in four Americans have likely reached wits’ end by now,” Study Finds reports.

My hope is that people will embrace this opportunity to grow patience, and to deal with those chaotic energies which are so prevalent in the human psyche. This is a grand opportunity. Let us not waste it.
