The 'Ace of Vessels', Peace, Love, Serenity, Truth, and Renewal

Sunday, July 24, 2016.  May I be a month from now simply enjoying our Mexican vacation knowing that I will return to a new a job, a new career as Wizard Oron, your local Spiritual Guidance Counsellor on this road of life.

We had a pretty lazy day yesterday.  We did get out for an afternoon walk and coffee and our grocery run after dinner but that was it.  I read and wrote for most of the day in between flipping channels and taking care of some laundry.

The overriding theme of the day was the compelling thought of parking Serenity over here in the parking lot near Westminster Pier Park.  Several RVs are parked there long-term one of which looks to be lived in as I may have mentioned before.  And this morning as I was figuring out whether or not to stay home or walk down to the park an image of me awaking in Serenity filled my mind, awaking a looking out the window across that very same parking lot and looking at the river.

I decided to stay home this morning but not before getting dressed and walking about half a block.  Something caused me to turn around and come back home.

So I set myself up out on our little deck and took in the welcoming morning air and re-energized myself with the radiant shine reflecting down on me.  AS I sat and shuffled the Wildwood Tarot scents of campsites and campgrounds filled my nostrils creating images of being tucked away in a campsite nestled in a fertile forest teeming with all that nature has to offer...

...soon the Tarot Energy of the day, the "Ace of Vessels" separated itself from the deck and gently floated down to the floor.

My initial thoughts: given a renewed gift of life; a fresh start; new hopes and opportunities; unconditional love; nurturance; radiating life and love; cleansed and restored; gifts of the crows...

...the "Ace of Vessels-The Waters of Life. The suit of vessels represents the primal mystery of human emotions, and the Ace focuses on the very essence of these powerful, yet elusive traits.  Since prehistory, emotions have been represented by the element of Water and, however far we have evolved, we are still largely ruled by our emotions and instincts.  Our powers of reason, intellect and science have given us mastery of the oceans and skies , but what propels the drive to explore, invent and build is still human desire and curiosity.  Biologists would argue that our emotions are simply manifestations of the ancient  evolutionary process and are governed by the limbic system or mammalian brain.  What influence the ancient reptilian brain (on which the mammalian brain sits)has on our emotional reactions is still a mystery.  Our emotions need to be harnessed for positive ends, and suppressing our basic emotional needs will lead us to rebel and become detached.  Gather your emotional energies and keep them in balance for healthy, creative and loving interactions with all of nature, including the sometimes irrational destructive energies of humankind."

Tap into all that you are, as Spirit meant and needs you to be.  Allow "the Waters of Life" wash away the negative teachings of society leaving behind only the truth of Spirit and all that you are meant to be.  Let go of "the sometimes irrational destructive energies of humankind" and allow the light, love and pure energy of Spirit shine forth.  Be the positive and loving change needed in the world today.

As I sit here I'm reminded of the many gifts of life and of love.  Parked outside is a camper van, one of several that I've seen the past couple of days.  Perhaps, a sign of my near future?  Life in a camper van just as I want.  Simply a reminder that I'm blessed in many ways.

Then the most wonderful African Violet in the world grabs my attention, I think she's been in bloom since April or May and then our Peace Lily says, "Don't forget about me" and a deep peace and calm come over as I'm filled with a sense of profound indefinable, and infinite love...

 Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.
