The "8 of Cups" and Walking Away From Parts Yourself and Never Looking Back

We had a relaxing day again yesterday and as I hoped the weekend seemed to tick by at a rather slow pace.  We had lunch out and then met a couple of friends downtown for coffee, tea and cookies while we chatted about our planned trip in the fall.  We then headed over to Cardero's later for drinks and a quick bite to eat, a bit of an early dinner for us but we had no problem eating the delicious food that arrived on our table.

Upon returning home around 8pm or so we decided to have another quick bite to eat, a bowl of oatmeal, so good.  Haven't had it in such a long time...need to do oatmeal more often but perhaps for breakfast instead of an after dinner dessert.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “8 of Cups: Farewell.  Moving on.  Leaving behind a person, a situation, or a part of yourself."

"Leaving behind a part of yourself" is really jumping out at me today.  Over the course of this past weekend I've had many spiritually driven epiphany's with one coming to me when my eyes caught a glimpse of a homeless man (I know his name but will not use it) who, although many times was laying on the sidewalk after having had too much to drink was now struggling to walk with a walker and has lost a significant amount of weight...tears welling up in my eyes.

Thinking about others came to mind and how I can best help people without making them feel embarrassed or ashamed.  Then I read a few pages from the latest of issue of the Science of Mind magazine I picked up a few weeks back and discovered that I am much more, much greater, and more important to the universe than I thought I was.

Realizing and accepting this has created a mind and energy shift within me that is greater than I felt back in 1999/2000 when then I realized I could have very real spiritual experiences through mind, voice, and sight.

I've been slowly remembering how to have those connections as I abandoned them briefly from about 2002 to 2006 when I got involved in an evangelical church that did more to close my mind than open it to the wondrous world of divinity that is not and cannot be defined or bound by any type of religion or religious dogma.  I am. I simply am...the purity of existence, one part of the all, the source that experiences life through each of us.

And may partner said something during our time with friends that caught me by surprise and showed just how much he loves me.  When we were talking about of trip in the fall along with the upcoming travel of our friends my partner stated that I should retire so that we had more time to travel than the two weeks of vacation that I have.  Retire or do something so we can enjoy more trips together.

I'm leaving behind the part of me that gets depressed about getting up and going to the job that no longer suits me or serves my needs, intents or desires.  I'm leaving behind a part of the me that is only an inactive dreamer and wishful thinker.  I'm leaving behind the part of me that is too inflexible and only thinks that he has to be this or that.  Such as having to travel in an RV, where he now has camper van that has only been used a mere three times over the past eighteen months...not money well borrowed or well-spent for that matter.  Time to move on...

I am open-minded, flexible, a man of action, with my eyes, heart, mind, body, soul, spirit, my all open to all possibilities, opportunities, the infinity of life and all existence.  I am!

Thank You Spirit.
