The Initiate of Swords and Using Our Personal Experiences Grounded by Spirit to Assist Others

A nice relaxing Friday evening gave way to a goodnight's sleep that was informative and creative.  Dreams had me wearing my ritual robe outside of the house, had me spending time in a home near the water in a place that seemed tropical yet more local, maybe something like the Coal Harbour area of Vancouver near Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park but not quite.  I was sleeping, awaking, packing clothes enjoying the scenery outside, talking with people who seemed like people I don't know but knew in my dreams, sitting on a sofa talking with a couple of guys solving problems and answering questions...then I was dropping off personal possessions or perhaps movie props for someone in a change room of sorts, a former neighbour in our condo building...curious dreams for sure.

I awoke with a slight headache that disappeared as soon as I got into my ritual and somewhat meditative routine and had some of crystals and stones in the pocket of my ritual robe.  This is where my dreams came to life in my mind and creative ideas poured out of my subconscious, some of which I hope to implement.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Initiate of Swords:  The suit of Swords and its corresponding element, Air, is masculine and intellectually oriented, so a mature man with blond hair represents this Initiate.  He wears a long yellow robe, a yellow stole, and two necklaces.  This Initiate can be a person who uses his mind to create order.  He takes his experiences and forms useful philosophies and practices, to help himself and others feel at ease in the world.  He can, though, rely too much on his self-made order and at times be inflexible."

And today is SATURDAY (SATURN):  longevity,   exorcism,  endings, homes, and houses; the Moon moves into LEO which draws emphasis to the self, central ideas, or institutions, away from connections with others and other emotional needs and people tend to be melodramatic.

My dreams reflected the sentence "He takes his experiences and forms useful philosophies and practices, to help himself and others feel at ease in the world" as throughout the night and throughout my dreams, I was always thinking about my impact on others through my words and actions and how I needed to lead by example and do my best to bring more love and peace into the lives of the people in my dreams that has carried forth to the here and now!  And to avoid being inflexible I always harken back to the examples of others such as Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Jesus or by remembering poignant phrases from books and magazines or through always keeping in mind that light, love, peace, compassion, and empathy are our natural state of being.

Thank You Spirit.
