'I The Magician' and Getting a Push to Be More Active in Living Life

Wednesday, June 29, 2016.  Namaste.  Greetings from the beautiful city of New Westminster, downtown New Westminster to be exact, on the shores of the mighty Fraser River.

The summer heat is upon us but what glorious weather this is.  Another miracle this day as I awoke yet again to experience this wonderful gift of life I've been given.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "I The Magician: To live fully, one must create a life, not merely react to it.  Creativity.   Ability.  Making something happen.”

It's time to make something happen and likely I need to be doing more to create my life as I'm apparently still reacting to life more than living it!  I'm passively acting on my desires where instead I need to be actively acting on them so I'm out there on the road, not tomorrow, or today but yesterday.  I need to get moving!

So, then that means I need to get Serenity looked at and fixed up so I can take her out on the road even if it's just here around town, town being metro Vancouver, at least for now.  I do invite you or invite anyone you may know to take a closer look at my blog here and website to see what I have to offer.

I'm a Spiritual Guidance Counsellor through and through.

As I look back on my life and in particular my interactions with others I can see now in hindsight that many people not only came to me for help, assistance, or advice in one form or another because they trusted that I'd hold everything we spoke about in confidence but that I also had words worth listening to and that I could if only through energy and spirit provide them with the help, assistance, or advice they needed to hear.

I remember a regular customer (S) that came into Pizza every week, maybe even twice a week.  Can't remember the specific day but she only came in when I was working.  It must have been a quiet evening because I could spend quite a bit of time chatting with her as I went about my daily duties.  And she always felt better leaving the restaurant than when she came in.  She always order a personal pan pizza and a coffee.

When I worked at the Carib Theatre I had two or three people drop by fairly regularly to chat with me.  One (B) in particular stood out as he reached out with more than just words, he also used his spirit and energy to communicate with me.

I wonder how these two (S and B) are doing?

Along with my in-person chats I also volunteered for the Quesnel Crisis Line, answering many phone calls over the years. Doing my best to refer callers to the help and resources they might need to deal with the personal situation or circumstance that led them to call the Crisis Line in the first place.  I think I had maybe two or three calls that pushed me to my limits and caused me much grief and anxiety.  Thankfully, I could debrief with the Crisis Line Manager and Co-ordinator.

Thanks for the "pep talk".  I do have what it takes to be Spiritual Guidance Counsellor, now, don't I.

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

The 'Youth of Swords', Computers, Email, and Curiosity Fuelling My Desire to Live Life on the Road

Tuesday, June 28, 2016.  Pies, the pies had to be done just right.  This is what a customer told me in one of my dreams last night.  I'm not sure what happened in the rest of the dream or if it even continued after that scene played out but that's what I semi-consciously awoke to in the middle of the night.  Speaking of night, I vaguely recall a dream that was dark, may be outdoors but can't recall much else.  Oh, I was also working with a few clients in my dreams, I' think it's more appropriate to refer to them as friends but the dream has fizzled from my memory for the moment.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the “Youth of Swords: Curiosity.  Research.  Computers, e-mail.  Immature communication.  Spying (or "hacking").”

"Computers, e-mail" stand out to me today.  And as I write this " Curiosity" has also jumped out at me.  It's my curiosity that fuels me desire to be on the road driving to here, there and anywhere the roads and the winds take me.  Curiosity fuels my desire to interact with and get to know people and what better to get to know someone than through a spiritual connection hence my acceptance that my purpose is to be  "Your Local Spiritual Guidance Counsellor on this Road of Life".  And in order to reach and guide as many people that contact me computers and emails will play a big role in doing just that.  As I cannot be everywhere and nor can I necessarily travel great distances quickly when I driving a camper van.

If the parking lot down by Pier Park here in New Westminster is still open when I finally get around to it, and may this be sooner rather than later, I'll be parking myself and my van in that said parking lot setting up shop hanging out my Spiritual Guidance Counsellor shingle off the side of my van, make that my office ready to welcome you, my cherished clients.

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

The '3 of Cups', a Park Bench, Pier Park and the Mighty Fraser River

Sunday, June 4, 2016.  Park Bench Tarot along the Fraser River, Pier Park, New Westminster.

I awoke early again this morning and as hard as I tried I could not get back to sleep so I simply slipped out of bed and got on with the day.  I sat for a spell with my first morning coffee, contemplating and being thank for life and my life while also give thanks for the gift of living and enjoying a life of freedom, opportunity, love, happiness and so much more.

I then got dressed and walked down to Pier Park situated along the mighty Fraser River, flowing seemingly slow and quite high.  I took a seat on a welcoming bench where I listened to the birds, the river, the sun, and life as I shuffled Tarot cards.  A few people walked or jogged by, the energy calm, serene, peaceful, happy, my mind clear...

...today's Tarot Energy is the “3 of Cups: A Good Time.  Happy, comfortable times together.  Quiet enjoyment. Celebration."

Our lives have been quite peaceful, happy, quiet, loving and full of the energy of Spirit and Life.  We've become more harmonious with each other, with each other's energy and needs as well as with Nature and Spirit.  We're more in tune with living life fully appreciating how much we have and the joys of living in a beautiful home.

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

'XVI Revelation' and the Truth Revealed

Friday, February 26, 2016.  “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.”

"Be Yourself, Everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde

This quote appeared on the sign of the Knox Presbyterian Church at East Columbia and Sherbrooke Streets in the Sapperton neighbourhood of New Westminster a couple of weeks ago and came to mind today when “XVI Revelation" flipped over to show itself as the Gay Tarot Energy of the Day.  A good thong too!  I have beyond realized that we're not only hiding ourselves from the world around us ourselves too and this has to stop.  As painful as it may be we must be ourselves especially to our family, loved ones and close friends.  Faith in Spirit based on experience will get you through this pain.

When we are true to ourselves Spirit resides within and will help guide us in all that we do.  Our lives will be lived by loving and respecting all life on Earth and this includes ourselves.  And although I'm a big believer in "truth" I realize and know firsthand that it can be messy, ugly, disheartening and downright painful.  But it also for me at least feels so good not to hide "me" from the world.  This is who I am and I do my best to live a happy, healthy, positive, realistic, fruitful and caring life but I may at times be a bit rough around the edges, drop the ball, get mad, angry and hateful but I pull myself out of this ugliness as quickly as I can.  And I never go to bed upset, mad, angry, depressed or in a bad mood.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'Three of Bows, Fulfillment' and Trusting That Your Goals Are Realized

Monday, September 28th, 2015.  We went out for a bike ride yesterday a quick grocery run.  We rode from downtown New Westminster over to Queensborough and back.  Then we had our lunch followed a little later by an afternoon coffee and warm chocolate chip cookies.  I wiled the afternoon away playing around with my model train layout, flipping through model railroad magazines.  This continued up until bedtime.  Sleep was good however I did awake slightly before the alarm however I was still surprised when the alarm awoke us with its musical serenade.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Energy is the "Three of Bows, Fulfillment: Nourishment from a spiritual source gives inner security and joy.  Goals and desires are reached, making life rich with emotional scrutiny and a sense of completion.  The archer must be at one with the bow to fully direct its potential energy, and just as the arrow passes through the bow, propelling it to its target with effortless grace, the questing heart and seeker of knowledge allows the energy to flow through him.  This combination of balanced energy and intellectual focus enables the mastering of any situation and allows the enrichment of success by being both at one with the environment and its inhabitants.  Reaching this inner stronghold of strength and peace can only be achieved by constant reappraisal, vigilance and commitment to your goals; but the act of letting the power flow through you and having the trust to allow your arrows to fly completes an unseen, universal circuit.  The inner stillness and focus thus produced is easily apparent and observable to others, and builds a sense of trust, confidence and security in those for whom you are responsible.  This inner  shining energy will inspire others to start out on their own path of discovery and sojourn to fulfillment."

Trust, the "Three of Bows, Fulfillment" is all about trust and faith based on experience that our goals will be, no are successful.  Let your arrows fly through the air knowing full well that it or they will reach their target and bring success your way.  Have your goals in mind but be detached from them, reassess them if and when necessary however let that seed you planted germinate, grow and blossom into the success you wish it to be instead of digging it up every now and then in order to see if it has sprouted yet.  Your goal needs to time to incubate in the cosmos and be filled with the energy of the universe before it can become anything...so be release your arrows and then be patient.

For instance, today I visited 'Serenity', my camper van and had a flash of seeing my goals realized but only if I let it germinate sprout, grow and blossom into a successful outcome.  I've released my arrows and they are on target to hit their mark.  I trust the universe and know that the cosmos is providing them with the added energy necessary so they succeed.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'I The Magician' and creating Magic in Your Life

Friday, May 29, 2015.  I struggled to stay awake over the course of the evening, falling asleep and missing most of the news, The National on CBC.  But I didn't get into bed until almost 11:00pm.  I slept rather well and was just turning over and falling back to sleep when the sound of the alarm filled the air..  Oh, well maybe I'll sleep in tomorrow.

Over this past week or two an abandoned house on East Columbia in the Sapperton neighbourhood of New Westminster has been catching my eye every time I drive by both morning and late afternoon.  I'm not sure of the house number but its between 213 and 227 East Columbia.  The front yard is overgrown with tall grasses and the place does not look like it's been lived in for years but I've fallen in love with this house.  This old house likely requires a lot of work in order to become a home but what a house she is.

Spiritual consciousness and enlightenment are also on my mind as of late.  Last evening I saw myself entertaining a client in my van.  The back doors were open the table was covered in an altar cloth and Tarot Cards as well as Tarot energy surrounded us.  She stepped down the steps and walked away a much happier person.  I do not yet as far as I know own a camper van.  I do however host several decks of Tarot Cards...I cannot claim ownership of these Tarot as they are simply here to assist me on my wonderful journey through this current life.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "I The Magician: To live fully, one must create a life, not merely react to it.  Creativity.   Ability.  Making something happen.”

My life is my own and I must continue to play an active, responsible and accountable role in it.  I must be actively present in all that I do in the sense that during the work day I'm focused on my job, not the life I'm creating for myself.  Acton requires patience so not only must we act and create our lives we must be patient in working toward the future of our desires.  We must also be willing to put with roadblocks and other setbacks knowing full well that we are in the driver's seat if we wish to be and we can drive around the roadblock and/or speed away from the set-back knowing full well that we'll get there eventually.  We'll simply enjoy the ride and we make our lives happen.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

XV Self-Hatred and Overcoming the Past, Living in the Present, and Walking into the Future

Saturday, February 15th, 2014.  Aaahhh…how nice it was to sleep in a little today.  A surprise dinner out at a great local Italian restaurant (Salvatore's La Spaghetteria in New Westminster) that was abuzz of chaotic energy when we walked in and eventually settled down to a calm and almost peaceful energy made for a fantastic evening of remembering why we companions, friends, and so  much in love.

A short walk home to relax and digest the meal we had was the remainder of our evening before turning into bed.

Quite often over the past week or two I’ve had the experience that I’ve been in my RV, almost as if I was living in my RV on a full time basis.  Every once in a while I catch myself where for just a split second I’m standing or sitting in my RV.  My bed is made; I’m preparing a meal for myself or working on one project or another.  All this experience in what seems like the blink of an eye.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XV Self-Hatred: The trap to avoid for all minorities.  Unconsciously accepting societal norms.  Low self-esteem.”

Last night I accepted the errors I’ve made in life, the wrongs I’ve committed, and the bad situations I’ve created for myself and perhaps am still dealing with.  Along with this reflection I’ve accepted these truths as real and wrong and of my own doing; accepted responsibility for them and being accountable for them and now I’m moving on.  I’ve dispersed this black negative energy to the cosmos to be cleansed and purified as I wash myself with the purity and love of the energy that is all around me, that flows through every atom of my being; that is and always will remain a part of me.

I focus on the highest ideal of myself, of who I want to be, of who I am and do not look back.  I move on having transcended my missteps with a renewed focus on my goals, dreams, and desires.  I’m still young enough to achieve them quite realistically I’ve already them in a sense by overcoming my past, by living in the present and following the map and directions to where I want to be in life.

Thank you Spirit.

Blessed Be.

VII The Chariot

Had to go through more of a healing cycle yesterday.  Had a bit of a meltdown as I walked along the river in Pier Park here in New Westminster.  Had to get a few things off my chest and what better way and a better place to do it than out by a river and out in the fresh air?  I feel all the better for it even though it got a bit ugly.  I am feeling truly cleansed and ready to move forward as a renewed person filled with new energy and a new sense of vitality and a sense of knowing what I need to do in order to live out my dreams and achieve my goals.

Thank You Spirit.

Had a restful night’s sleep and enjoyed a bit of the crisp, fresh air out on the deck as I worked with Tarot.  Today’s visiting Tarot Card is “VII The Chariot: Among the highs and lows of life, make sure you enjoy the highs.  At the top of one's game.  Seizing an opportunity.  Having everything under control (barely)".  Got to keep myself connected with Spirit and the positive energy that abounds so this means daily meditation and reflection and fully immersing myself into my Spirituality and practice of Wicca/Witchcraft.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
