Trees, Wizard Oron, Tarot, and Spirit filled my mind and dreams last night. I fell asleep in complete surrender to Spirit, to Spirits power in my life, the ever expanding possibilities of Spirit and a willingness to be guided wherever Spirit may need me to go.
I awoke with a need to work with Spirit and Tarot, where I was not only going to draw a single card of the day but three cards from three separate decks. As I did this a sense of need to sit down and be focused today on Tarot and writing came to mind, of working on me and my relationship to myself and the rest of the world. Further exploring my relationship with me and my relationship with Spirit. So this is what I will do. With a camera and video coming to mind during the times I need to take a break, a step back and refocus.
As I sit here contemplating each of the cards, I'm looking at myself from outside of myself seeing that I'm dressed in my ritual garb--robe, pants, shirt, hat and pentacle necklace and remembering how I've been trying to work my way into being a wiccan and performing rituals and magic as all other wiccans do. Then I pause for a moment, realizing that how I perform my rituals and magic is perfectly okay and is in essence a true wiccan practice. For me I am all that I need to perform rituals and magic and raise the energy needed to bring manifestation to my spells and desires. Yes, I have candles, incense, athame, pentacle, altar cloth and many other ritual tools and needs but realistically speaking all I need is myself, my knowledge, acceptance, and connection with Spirit as well as the openness to change and allow the magic to happen.
Spirit Is and...
...today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Seven of Wands"
The Pagan "Seven of Wands" is a card of reassurance, letting us know that we have all that we need to face and handle our financial obligations and needs. We often have the support of others whether we see or realize it or not and often more support than what we need. So always welcome it, never shy away from it. Never let pride get in the way of others coming to your side and propping you up a little. Be focused and thoughtful of the choices in front of you and resolve to make the best you can and make it and live by it. You have it in you to make the right choice.
...today's Whimsical Tarot Energy is "VIII Justice"
"VIII Justice" from the Whimsical Tarot is letting us know that truth reigns supreme, avoiding the truth can bring about consequences that we least desire. Yes, sometimes the truth hurts but in the long run, it's always the right choice to be making--telling the truth if done respectfully and if expressed from the heart allows us to be better able to handle the fallout from telling the truth as well to recover from the experience more quickly where the experience does not unnecessarily burden us or bog us down in despair. It in fact will give us the opportunity for a fresh start.
...today's Gay Tarot Energy is “10 of Coins"
The Gay Tarot's “10 of Coins" is asking us to look at our lives from somewhat of a historical perspective, urging us to look at our lives from a more objective point of view. This then allows us to gain the perspective needed to gauge where we are with our lives and maybe even see that how we've lived our lives is not all that bad after all. And that we in fact have much more living to do as well as the opportunity to write the next chapters of our lives anyway we want to. How do you want to live your life from this day forward?
Develop a clear picture in your mind, focus on it, give it the energy it deserves and make it happen.
Thank You Spirit.
A lazy Saturday spent indoors except for a quick trip to the grocery store to get over and done with, our weekly grocery run. So today can be another lazy day at home. Not so lazy mind you as we are doing things, things that we like to do. I'm working on my model railroad and Tarot offerings, one at a time mind you.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is and I am the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author."
A reminder, a little kick in the butt to remind us that we have to be proactive participants in our own lives instead of merely blindly stumbling along in our day-to-day living. We need to stop reacting to life and start creating life, our own lives and actively living our lives instead of sitting on the sidelines watching life go by. Life isn't a TV show and this isn't a dress rehearsal, this is our one and only chance to really live life and make something of it. Yes, life can and is often difficult but we can more than merely survive this life, we can thrive in it.
How?
By waking up to the fact that we have a life to live, an important life to live, our very own!
One way to do this is to take a step back from our role in society and look within to see what we actually want in and with our lives instead of having it dictated to us by advertisers and being told how we should live a 'normal' life. We are unique individuals and should be able to the best of our own abilities live life the way we want to live it. We need to find ways to take a step back to look at the larger picture and then find a way to immerse ourselves into the rest of society while maintaining our individuality and uniqueness that belongs to us with no need to defend, explain, or justify who we are and how we're living our lives.
As long as we are not hurting anyone else or ourselves, we should be left to our own devices. Do not be afraid to question or stand up to or throw out what is defined as living a "normal" life and instead live your life, the way you want to live it for it is normal for you and that is all that matters in the end.
Thank You Spirit.
Saturday, August 1st, 2015. Welcome to the first day of August and here in New Westminster catching a glimpse of the fading Full Moon in the early morning sky where the sunrise is brightly reflected in the glass of a tall building giving me a glimpse of its fiery presence this day.
We had a quiet Friday evening at home after a simple yet very scrumptious dinner. Oh, and after many days of missing the gym I made it there after work for a very satisfying workout. It sure feels good to work my muscles. I might have mentioned this before but I do a simple workout that focuses on the major muscle groups so I can pretty much get in and out of the gym in about forty-five minutes. I do this because I just focus on doing my reps and my sets with minimal delay. Thirty second pauses between each rep and about sixty seconds between each exercise.
We were in bed early and it was a bit warm for sleeping so I awoke a few times. One of us turned the AC back on as it must have been a little too hot for them to get to sleep. I didn't even notice. Then it was suddenly time to hop out of bed. I opened my eyes and knew it was a good to start the day.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Ten of Stones. Home: The traditional concept of home and family has evolved and change over the last few decades, but certain basic notions remain unchanged. In the traditional British family, where the father went to work and the mother stayed home to manage the house and the children, home was the place we always came back to, where stability and a well-founded set of traditions and social rules applied. It was both guarded and guided by love, respect and loyalty. As children, we see home as a place of security and caring. As young adults exploring the world, it can be wherever you lay your hat r guitar case. In later life, it may become your own heart's stronghold and sanctuary. For some, the concept of home is just that: an idea, a hope, a dream, not merely a shelter from the elements or an investment in bricks and plaster. For some, it truly is where love resides and is the final destination after a colourful or arduous life journey."
As soon as I laid eye upon the "Ten of Stones, Home" I was filled with the feeling of having come home, of having found my place in the world where I'm comfortable, satisfied and filled with a sense of and of fulfilling my purpose. I've come home and I've found my place in the world. How much better can it be...life is abundant and prosperous in the most important areas of my life. I know where I belong, I'm in a loving relationship in a beautiful home, and I, and we are living very simple, ordinary rich full lives.
Instead of focusing on possessions and collecting a house full of knick knacks and other things that weigh us down we are divesting ourselves of such possessions and experiencing a new sense of freedom and well-being as a result. Our home is becoming an oasis of contentment and well-being as it is free of unnecessary weight and clutter. My plain and simple goal is to be able to take all of my possessions with me in my camper van. I still have a ways to go but I'm getting there. Become a minimalist and you'll be surprised how freeing it can be...after all it's just stuff...really it's just stuff that you really don't need.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Friday, March 27th, 2015. I awoke early so I thought I'd get right into writing this morning. However, I first worked with Tarot, made our lunches and had breakfast.
Today is a four Tarot day as in the midst of shuffling the cards, three fell to the floor and one flipped over in the middle of the deck. So for today we have:
“XV Self-Hatred: The trap to avoid for all minorities. Unconsciously accepting societal norms. Low self-esteem", “XVI Revelation: While it is usually best to tell the truth about yourself to those who are close to you, it can be a painful experience. A necessary destruction of the status quo. Having to tell someone an unwelcome truth. A new idea which upsets others”, and the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author". The “4 of Wands: Setting the Stage. Opening night finally arrives. A venture has been established. Celebrating initial achievements" anchors the day's energy.
It's time to write a new chapter in our lives but first we must look honestly at ourselves, accepting fully, lovingly, and without judgement, the reflection in the mirror. We must first accept and love ourselves before we can face the music so-to-speak with others. It's time to be honest with the world as our stage has been set.
If we are true to ourselves, we can be true to others and yes, this may create some friction and pain however we can get through it if we write our own stories by being active participants in our own lives.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Sunday, February 15th, 2015. We had a pretty quiet day yesterday. I hot the gym at 7:30am, returned home, had breakfast, minimally helped to clean up, did a few things with the railroad layout, had lunch, then we hosted a friend for an or so after meeting her for a coffee and a walk. When she departed we relaxed a little, made and ate dinner then cleaned up and watched the first half of "Boyhood" before turning in for the night.
Thank You Spirit.
This morning I'm off to the gym again. Then, it's breakfast, our weekly grocery run, lunch, then maybe get together with another friend, dinner, clean up, watch the second half of "Boyhood" then turn in for the night.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Coins: Seeing the magic in the mundane. Spiritual fulfillment from nature. Finding joy in the ordinary” with further guidance coming from the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?”
This is all about taking a step back out of the rat race of life and reconnecting with yourself and the real world around you, not the illusion that we as a society have created for ourselves. This day is about taking back control of our lives and directing our lives into the directions we wish to go. How to do this? By reconnecting with the beauty of nature of that lovely world we have so separated ourselves from that we nary give a thought to it anymore.
Hug a tree, let the breeze or wind caress your face, skip and dance through a trail, pick up a handful of dirt and rediscover yourself. Not the outdoors type then have a conversation with your plants, talk to the bouquet of flowers you received yesterday. Do your best to get in touch with nature and then start writing a new chapter in your life, write your story the way you want it to be.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Saturday, January 31, 2015. We once again had another quiet evening at home last night. The television was not on very long. We watched a bit of news and then it was off. I piddled around with my model railroad after working with Tarot. Then it was off to bed.
This morning was an early one as I awoke and made my way to the gym after giving thanks for awaking to another day and having all the blessings I have in my life.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Coins: Dependence. Resentment because of financial dependence on another. Charity. An unequal relationship" with further guidance coming from the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author."
After quickly engaging Tarot, an extension of who we are, I headed off to the gym. I struggled with the first couple of exercises but the rest were the usual effort. Once home I had coffee, breakfast, and a protein bar before piddling around with my model railroad all the while contemplating today's visiting Tarot Card, the “6 of Coins".
Then we headed out to run a few errands and do our weekly grocery run. We made a slight adjustment to our plans so I could accommodate my brother and provided with a taxi and delivery service for the afternoon as his car is sitting dead in his parking stall.
We're now home after accomplishing all that we set out to do and I give thanks for the time with my brother and the safe travels that we had today.
As part of my self-empowerment efforts I realize that the “6 of Coins" is more about taking actions to conserve and protect the planet than finding ways around financial dependence on another. And realistically speaking I'm not so much financially dependent as I am being blessed by having my housing needs taken care of and living a very financially freeing lifestyle because of this.
Thank You Spirit.
And as a message for the day, I have to say that each of us has to look in the mirror and see if we can change our situations through better management of the resources we have rather than resenting on having to rely on others to support us. How do we spend our money? Do we spend it responsibly?
Any smokers out there? Anyone who has to buy coffee on the way to work rather than make it at home? Do we out a lot? Where can we make changes and save ourselves a little bit of money?
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Friday, January 16th, 2015. I slept very well last night and then I awoke and knew in an instant the it was almost time to awake and that the alarm would sound at any moment.. I really wanted nothing more than to stay in bed and fall back to sleep but work, the job and another busy day were calling my name.
Last night I couldn't do much more than sit on the sofa and read a little bit but even that seemed like too much for me to do. And sooner than I realized I was falling asleep, the night evening drifted on by and we crawled into bed around 10:40pm.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author" with added support from the “8 of Coins: The Factory. Skill and mastery. Tedious, repetitive labour. Slow and methodical progress."
If I put my mind to it, if we all put our minds to it we can put our very own stamp on our very own lives. We can and we should take control of our own lives and take responsibility for and be accountable for we are, mostly accountable to ourselves, our true selves. Take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror and find yourself.
It might take a lot of hard work but we'll all be the better for it. We need to develop the skill and mastery necessary to keep our individuality and overcome the trap of giving up control of our lives to those around us as well as greater society as a whole.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Sunday, December 28th, 2014. Yesterday was an alright day. My partner had a haircut as I waited in the food court in Aberdeen Centre, having lunch and perusing my Tarot Card books as well as a photo of my model railroad layout. My partner soon joined me, had lunch and then we headed out to south Surrey to get a ham for our New Year’s Eve dinner.
Upon returning home I had my hair trimmed then we made our to my brother’s place to join him and an uncle and his girlfriend for a post-Christmas visit, my brother lives in Surrey just fifteen minutes away from us and our uncle and girlfriend live in Vernon, about 5 hours hour away. The visit, conversation and snacking food was as good as always and we all parted company around 10:00pm.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Cards are the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?” and the “10 of Wands: The Burden. Responsibilities. Obligations. Overcommitting yourself. Realizing that burdens are a part of life” with clarification from the “4 of Coins: The Lighting Director. A position of power. Wanting to control how others perceive things.”
As I more and more become the author of my own life I realize that my burdens are of my own doing and not really burdens at all but rather, lessons learned and to be learned. In addition, they are opportunities to grow and blossom spiritually as I understand my place in life as well as the meaning of life as it pertains to me, something that is different for each of us and something that each of us must discover on our own. As I open my mind to the universe and to Spirit the knowledge and understanding I gain opens my mind, eyes, and spirit to the wonders of life, some of which are simple, mundane, and ordinary—things which get lost in the fast-paced lives we live and the constant need to have more and more exciting extrasensory experiences to satisfy our senses.
Go into our collective past, your own past and discover the future. Drop our Smartphone’s, computers, tablets, and game boxes and delve into our minds—places of wonder, open to discovery, and amazing special effects and answers, if we only dare give ourselves the chance to discover them.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Sunday, September 7th, 2014. As I started typing today’s entry the thought came to me that I better pick up the pace in getting my own new career/business venture off the ground. This week including today must be about reviewing my new website and filling in the accompanying form regarding changes I want to see made as well as booking a tutorial appointment which for me ha to fall on a weekend as sounds to be somewhat of a special request. Further to this I need to register my “business name” as well and a part of this is the need to submit three possible names so I’ll sit down and think about that this afternoon as I’ll have about an hour to myself which will give me ample time to review, think, and come up website changes, dates for appointments, and two more possible business names.
Thank You Spirit.
We relaxed for about three or so hours at the beach yesterday. The weather was just too perfect to not go and enjoy a day at the beach. It being September and the weather on a downhill slide, the water was quite cold so for me it was more of a “soak up the sun and relax on the beach” kind of day. After the beach we sat and relaxed with an iced coffee beverage from one of the many coffee places that dot the lower mainland. Then it was simply a relaxing evening at home.
Thank You Spirit.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?”
I lead a good life, a life that is pretty easygoing and blessed. I live in a peaceful democracy where not much happens for the most part. Crimes do exist and take place on a daily basis but for the most part life in this neck of woods is nothing to complain about, at least from my perspective. I have plenty of freedom and opportunity to live life my way. I have the opportunity to learn and adapt and appreciate history and what history has to teach us and on top of all of this I am for the most part the author of my own life. I control enough of my life to make myself comfortable and happy with how I live it.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Monday, March 10th, 2014. I awoke with the alarm. Was surprised by the alarm and I think it actually took awhile for me to register the fact that there was gentle noise outside of dream world that was notifying me that it was time to wake up. I did, slowly crawling out of bed and getting on with my day. I had breakfast meeting scheduled for 8:00am and unbeknownst to me traffic was ugly this morning and it took me 25 minutes to go about a kilometre or less and only ten minutes to go the other ten or fifteen kilometres. So I was about eleven minutes late. However the other person was close to 30 minutes late so it all worked out well in the end.
But before going to breakfast I got some espresso made and communed and worked with Spirit and Tarot. I also did this in the wee hours of the morning as I struggled with sleep. Sleep eventually won out, thankfully so.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?”
As I delve into the events of the past week and in particular this past weekend I see a new path being laid out before by and through Spirit. I’m in the process of forging my own path and taking full control of my own life and my life story. I’m growing and evolving and planting deep roots into the great energy and vast resources of the Earth, of Gaia and taking in and soaking up the great nourishment and freshness to life that she has to offer. As well, I’m been directed to take a hold of the extensive and far reaching power that is Spirit, the divine source of energy that lifts us up and assists us in finding a better and more secure path for ourselves as we grown and evolve under the guidance and direction of Spirit through meditation, communion, and knowing and the picture that is laid out before us through the wonder of Tarot.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Wednesday, January 8, 2014. I slept quite well however I was well aware that I was awake at several points during the night and just fell back to sleep minutes before the alarm sounded. I awoke groggily but did get out of bed to get on with my day. I rushed about and quickly got to Tarot and Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?”
Although change is sometimes necessary stability is also key to living a decent life and creating abundance. My life is becoming more stable however I think some change is still needed and I’m doing my best to identify where I need to make changes in my life. One way I’m making changes is to be aware of Spirit while I’m working and thinking about bringing Spirit to the forefront of my mind as I go about making my phone calls—it does make a difference. I’m doing my best to maintain control of my own story by making smart decisions, real decisions where there is not a maybe but a yes or no answer. Making real and relevant decisions based on all the information at my disposal as well as gut feelings and guidance from the heart I can feel good about making a yes or no decision and move forward without dwelling on it.
Then I am balanced, stable, writing my own story and creating abundance in my life.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
What a wonderful first day at a new job I had today. The office environment is very casual and easygoing and very familial. It’s like going to a family member’s home. Kind of reminds me of a blend of my Mom and Dad’s families.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story, who is the author?”
I appreciate and honour the overall history of the world and I appreciate and learn from my own personal history too! I’m seeing my life as more than my individual self and have now brought my partner fully into my life, my passions, desires, and goals. Our lives are intertwined and I must do what I can to love and respect our relationship while at the same time honouring and cherishing myself and what is important to me in this life of mine.
I am the author of my own life and I will live my life the best I can while at the same time pursuing my dreams, goals, and passions.
And one last thing I may be writing this later in the day until I get adjusted to awaking early and building time into my routine to not only work with Spirit and Tarot in the morning but blog about it as well.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
What a wonderful day of Spirit I had yesterday. Errands were completed, home chores tackled, a wonderful roast chicken dinner and all the trimmings was made, and a night of glad tidings was had.
Upon crawling into bed and simply allowing the day’s events drift away spirit and energy filled the room. Everywhere I looked I saw spirit and energy. At first I was a little anxious but soon peace and tranquility filled the room and I felt at ease, comforted, loved…I simply was…
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story, who is the author?”
Building a solid foundation for my future is key and to do this I must take control of my life and write my own story. Working with crafts may be that key to success I’m looking for as is all matters of Spirit. Spirit is in fact the most important key to my success.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I piddled around most of the day yesterday but did manage to take a drive over to my RV where I cleared out an area in the RV where my next project is concerned and then I piddled around the RV before sitting down for a moment or two and simply allowed myself to “be”. I found the RV to be very comforting yesterday and sensed that this feeling will only grow stronger the more complete and finished the RV becomes especially in the sense of not having any construction supplies lying around and having the RV complete as a living environment, my home, my oasis, my serene space, something I can call my very own.
Thank You Spirit.
Once I returned home I started preparations for dinner and slowly got that going, I made chilli. It was good but a bit on the salty side but we enjoyed it all the same. Then we relaxed for the evening before going to bed and allowing sleep to wash over us…
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is another repeat visitor, the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story, who is the author?”
A couple of things stand out with the appearance of 10 of Coins again and these are things that grabbed and held my attention this morning, Crowley’s Thoth Tarot Deck and the book How To Write for the New Age Market by Richard Webster. Ever since our road trip to the Oregon Coast and the stores I visited in Astoria and Newport I’ve had a strong sense that I need to focus my life, attention, and need for employment on all things Spirit. I’m filled with a certain faith and courage that my needs will be taken care of and I have no sense of worry about me. I believe…I know…
Thank you Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I have a cold or sinus infection. I’m surprised but at the same not surprised as on the flight home from Mexico quite a few people were coughing and sneezing. Hopefully, it passes quickly. I slept well though, feel a bit crappy with all the congestion in my sinuses but I’ll manage to get on with my day.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story, who is the author?”
I need to be the author of my own life story as we all do. Sometimes we choose to follow rules and conventions however we can do so while still taking control of own lives and how we live each and every day of it. Life is complicated and challenging yet we must strive to be as independent and independent minded as possible and think for ourselves. We have to break free of the mass mentality that pervades our society and be free thinkers and do our best to live in harmony with the natural and spiritual realms so we can transcend human folly.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I had an enjoyable day yesterday, accomplished a few things and felt good about how my day progressed. As evening came though I got a little down but nothing major. This morning more perplexed than down. Thinking about my future and wondering if I’m on the right path as I think I am or am I trying to convince myself that I am. I’ve been away from writing this for 15 or 20 minutes and had a mental breakthrough as I was getting my second cup of café con leche where a solid thought came to mind that “Yes, I’m on the right track and I have no need for fear or worry just go with the flow”.
Thank You Spirit.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?” Do I want to follow convention and settle down or do I want to make changes and go for it? Do I need to settle down and create a solid foundation for my future or should I go for change and all the risk that goes along with it. Life in a condo or life on the road?
Today’s Foundation Card for today’s Card of the Day is again, the “Man of Cups: An emotional adventurer. Tendency to want to emotionally rescue others. Drawn to emotional crises.”
If I remove emotion from the equation and look at my options in a very grounded manner I see that life on the road although filled with risk is a solid choice for me as it is my choice and I’m following a long held dream of mine of living life on the road. In fact, many of the working options I see for me on the road today are the same ones I thought of over twenty five years ago: writing, ventriloquism, and one other I will not expand on for the moment.
I am on the right track. Spirit is with me and I’m working toward my long held dreams and goals.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I had a decent day at work yesterday. A few early voters came into vote and we are also gearing for General Election Day on May 14th. My cold is waning and I’m feeling better than I was yesterday. Hopefully, this is trend toward restored health. One thing I realize about working thought is that I’d like to have my own schedule so I need to really put some real effort into developing my own income generating idea(s) and put them to work for me. I have a few ideas so I’ll start mapping them out his evening instead of turning on the TV.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?”
I really do appreciate our history as a species and always wish that the political leaders in the world would also see and appreciate history and learn lessons from it but so far we are not having much luck with that. For myself I look at our history and try to learn from it and put into perspective as to how it can relate to today. How can the past influence or make our present and then our future any better than what we’ve lived in the past. For example, advances in technology are great but are they also having a negative or dampening effect or is it affect on society? Is a simpler life only a thing of the past or can we also live a simple life alongside of and in a way by taking advantage of technology in some way to make our life better as well as for the rest of society and the world at large?
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I suppose I should start off and say Merry Christmas to all or better yet Brightest Blessings to all. Slept quite well last night considering the unending throbbing pain that came and went in around my knee. I awoke once or twice however quickly fell back into sleep mode with nary a thought entering my mind. Nary has an inkling of a dream come to mind now come to think about it. I seemed to be filled with much peace and love throughout the night though. A faint memory of people milling about is now in my mind, a dream or a distant memory or a new thought.
Spirit is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and an appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author.” We watched a CNN documentary, I guess one might call it about the early Christians and I believe while watching I was contextualizing my life in reference to this interpretation of the early Christians and the beginnings of churches. I’m not sure where I’m going with this as my thoughts are now lost and I am at a loss for words. I guess the important thing for me to remember is that I need to always maintain control of my life and the recorded history of my life. I need to live and author my own life and story and live my life for me.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Last night as I was trying to relax by reading the many blogs I read as well as catch up on one of the few shows I watch I had an anxiety attack. For the rest of the evening, I guess over about two hours I was doubting myself and my life, that I had wasted the last twenty odd years of my life trying to fit into a mold that I know is just no longer something I can do. I went to bed questioning my worth in life as I was wondering if I had any real ambitions or desires. Going to work five days a week at a "regular" job and working for someone else simply rubs me the wrong way yet this is the direction I'm being pushed into again.
I've been "between" jobs, if you will for a month and sitting on the sofa being lazy is something I cannot simply do so I've been working on my handcrafted cards and doing house chores and preparing meals and desserts for my partner and I. So not working is not something I can handle well so I'm planning to make cards and sell them.
Not so fast my partner is telling me and then during lunch with my brother as well as my partner I have them telling me that it is foolish for me to think I can make and sell cards and make a living at it. I know that! I just want to try my hand at for awhile to see where it goes but do I get any support in this regard? Not a chance. I'm told to get a real job.
So I'm in bed and almost miserable however I just leave the question hanging about what I should do with my future and fall asleep. . .
This morning I awake feeling pretty good and I just relax and simply "be" with Spirit. Then once I'm out of bed I work with Tarot, and up come two cards out of the deck. As soon as I see these cards I'm filled with answers, joy, knowing, confident, and optimistic. Today's visiting Tarot Cards are the "10 of Coins" and "V The Priest".
Meditation, Spiritual practice, controlling my own life are the keys to my future, to the future I want and I must never forget this. I am the author of my own life!
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
