Had dreams about equipment, maybe setting it up or reconfiguring it somehow. The equipment was not related to the job per say however reconfiguring the equipment is similar to what is going on at the job in relation to software upgrades.
But I was still thinking about authenticity, not as much but I could feel it doing all sorts of things in the recesses of my mind. Authenticity is where it's at for me these days so I've got to follow it to wherever it leads me. And when I pause for a moment and authenticity enters my thoughts, "I am ready" comes to mind. So without further ado, I shout out loud, clear, and proud that "I am ready!"
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Guide of Wands: Feeling possessed by a creative project or inspiration. Being inspired to help others. Doing what’s right."
Doing what's right is to help others. We have no choice. This is the time, the absolute right time to be reaching out and helping others. We have to get off of our high horses, our soapboxes and our pedestals and start doing things that will have the greatest impact on the world and this is helping others.
One very good way that we can start helping others is to see the truth in and of this world we live in. Second thing we can is to stop being so darned judgemental. We all do it, we all do it to some degree. Seen a homeless person lately, maybe someone begging for money, someone going through the trash, picking up cigarette but to see if they can get at least a toke out of it. How about the person who takes a half full container of pop or juice out of the garbage so they can quench their thirst? Or judging someone by the way they look, how they are dressed or the type of car they drive.
After we've rid ourselves of our judgmental ways we can start looking at how and who we can help...clothes, food, money, perhaps a place to stay, a ride, maybe even just a friendly smile and nod of your head will do. A car is a car and people can drive whatever car they like. People have their own sense of fashion and we may not agree with it but this does not entitle to pass judgement on this person simply by the way they are dressed.
Another great way we can help others is to them respect. Respect them by acknowledging their existence and that they just as much as you have a right to be in this world. Then love them for all that they are and all that they aren't for then we can truly love and respect ourselves and the world goes 'round.
Thank You Spirit.
Last night I noticed that any time that I was aware, authenticity came to mind, authenticity in living, in being, in being aware, in knowing and understanding my place in this world and in the universe itself. I didn't feel like me in physical form as I slept but more as me being spirit.
And even when the alarm serenaded us out of our slumber, authenticity filled my mind. Even through clumsily getting out of and walking to the kitchen to get our morning coffee going as well as to greet the cat, authenticity reigned supreme in my mind.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “3 of Cups: A Good Time. Happy, comfortable times together. Quiet enjoyment. Celebration."
Quiet enjoyment and being genuinely joyful filled my day even though I was going through the motions of the job. Although, I was fully committed to the job and fulfilling my role authenticity was with me. And as I went about the day and doing my "job" I didn't identify as an Operations Manager but rather as a Spiritual Coach and Wedding Officiant. At times I felt as if I was subconsciously officiating over a wedding or coaching someone as the journeyed along their spiritual path with me as their passenger during our chats. These were quite the real experiences to me even though they seemingly occurred at the subconscious level.
The “3 of Cups" may be appearing today however, I also felt it's energy yesterday as we returned my brother's car to his place, rode skytrain downtown, had an afternoon coffee and sweet at "Birds & Beets" on Powell Street and window shopped as we made our way along to check in on a friend's place during their absence. Usually, on a Sunday afternoon I get a bit antsy, queasy and uneasy as the impending work week looms large. Yesterday I felt optimistic as I look ahead to taking up my new role as Spiritual Coach and Wedding Officiant at Wizard Oron - Metaphysical and Mystical Realms.
I know that my good feelings, the joy I'm feeling today as well as the authenticity that is taking root in my life stems from my acknowledgement of the fact that I'm my best when I'm using my ears more than my mouth, doing more to empathically listen to people in need of a person to talk to and in need of a little bit of help whether they know they need it or not. My role is a listening role and I miss listening to people and helping them by being open and receptive to their conversations, allowing them to talk so much so that they often resolve their dilemmas themselves, even feeling better as a result.
The energy from this “3 of Cups" is such a great and most natural feeling energy that most of us can't but help feel happy, so happy in fact that we want to celebrate something, anything...even taking time to celebrate holding hands and being quiet with a loved one...no verbal conversation but communicating none-the-less. How perfect is that!?!
Thank You Spirit.
Being able to spend more time doing what I love is what the weekends bring to me at least for now. As I'm on my way to being able to do what I love each and every day of the week. A mind-shift has occurred within me and the day job I have will soon, very soon, be no more.
What do I love doing? Meditating, simply being, contemplating, being totally immersed in Spirit and my spiritual self, being an active conscious conduit through which life can be created and co-created by me, being active in my co-operative consciousness with Spirit, where Spirit's thoughts are my thoughts and where my heart, mind, body and soul are in perfect harmony with all that is best for me. (These words are not my own as I'm paraphrasing something I read from a book, magazine, or even an email containing the Mystical Insights of Dr. Leon Masters)
For example, this morning I spent time in front of my weekend altar set up on the dining room table giving thanks and being full of gratitude for the gift of life for yet another day. On my altar are stones, crystals, crow statuary, a candle, incense and my many Tarot Decks. The energy of one of the decks will rise above the others and this is the deck that will reveal today's Tarot Energy for us.
Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is "VII The Chariot: Signifies both a time period in which we have felt as though our wheels were spinning, getting us nowhere; and also that such a time period is nearing its end, and we are about to begin to see our energies released for growth and movement again. The timing was not right for our success, but now that time is coming."
Generally speaking, I consider myself a spiritualist as my spiritual life combines a variety of spiritual paths that I have brought together to create my own spiritual path, one that works for me yet I am open to all spiritual paths for they all lead to the same source. And yes at times I feel like as I'm a lot of us have, that we're simply spinning our wheels and getting nowhere fast. But change is coming and we are beginning to move toward our goals as our wheels are now gripping the road and moving us forward. We are building up speed and momentum and will soon be on our way at a good clip, a comfortable speed that will allow us to see the road ahead clearly and change course or take a detour if we have to.
But let's take this forward movement for granted or think we can simply sit back and enjoy the ride. We have to actively take part and continue this movement forward by taking the right and appropriate actions that continue to fire the motor that will keep us moving. This is not the time to get lazy or take our focus off of our goals. They are there ready to come to life as we want them to, it's up to us to make them happen.
Thank You Spirit.
A bit overheated last night so my sleep was interrupted as I tossed and turned throwing the bed coverings off a few times before awaking around 4:30am and not sleeping much after.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the "5 of Swords: The Tennis Game. Being overly competitive. A game which gets out of hand. A pattern of always needing to win, or to lose.”
The "5 of Swords" is calling on us to meditate and strengthen our connection with Spirit and our true selves so we can overcome our overly competitive ways and attitudes. This energy is here to remind us that life is not a competition and that we need to stop treating it as such. For we should be more caring and compassionate toward each other by reaching for our higher selves and trying to solve our worldly problems through compromise and respectful conversations rather than resorting to our primitive brains and the violent ways it leads to.
Thank You Spirit.
Muddled dreams and muddled thoughts when I awoke a few times last night. When I awoke this morning from another muddled dream I was immediately struck with the idea that this was all due to the Tarot of the Spirit Deck under my pillow. But this was only a part of the reason why. The real reason behind the muddled dreams and thoughts? A lack of a real connection with Spirit.
Why do I say this? Bad thoughts lead to anger and this shuts down our communication with Spirit. Spirit doesn't stop this communication, we do!
Valuable lessons learned through the subconscious and a few dreams...I like it and truly appreciate that I'm aware of and open to such real learning from Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's Whimsical Tarot Energy is "IX of Wands. Fight for and hold onto what you believe. Your projects are near completion; relaxation is at hand. Victory soon arrives. Luck comes to children. When reversed: Be prepared and aware of the ruler of the game. Arrogance creates obstacles. Rid yourself of self-pity and anxiety. Tend to your health."
I believe in myself and the power of Spirit in our lives, in my life. I'm more and more spiritually driven each day and really want to live a spiritually minded life. I believe and know that offering Intuitive Tarot and Wedding Officiant services is the right thing for me to do. I've even fine-tuned this especially around Intuitive Tarot as today upon surrounding myself with the energy of this "IX of Wands" the words Spiritual Coach and Spiritual Coaching came to mind so this will be added to my website and business card.
If your beliefs are spiritually driven and heartfelt they are as real and as valid as anyone else's. Don't let people convince you otherwise. Although it may be a struggle at times to hold onto what you believe, today, you have to hold on to those very beliefs, your beliefs for all they're worth. And dare I say, your beliefs are invaluable today. Don't let them go.
Thank You Spirit.
Friday, June 17, 2016. Had a bit of a sleepless night as a hint of worry crept into my mind and is likely what woke me up in a start in the middle of the night. Was almost wide awake in an instant and thoughts about the job rushed into my mind...ugh!
I got up trying to shake things off however I was not successful as I tossed and turned pretty much until the alarm was serenading us. I was in what seemed to be a dream-like state but was also keenly aware that I was not really sleeping especially when the alarm sounded...and then I stumbled out of bed barely conscious and really not want to do anything but knowing I've made the choice to work at a job I don't much like so I got the coffee going and awoke my Tarot Deck and started to get myself in tune with Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is “II The Intuitive: To be true to oneself, one must know oneself. Looking within for answers. Meditation. Intuition. Exploring that which is normally hidden.”
I must do more by continuing to look within through meditation so not only will I enhance my intuition but so that I can better be true to myself. I still have much to learn if I want to make it easier on myself in creating the life I want.
As I'm writing this a thought is twirling around in my mind about me driving along roads here and there and neither here nor there and talking to people along the way at each stop I make. These interactions propel me ever forward and finances never seem to be an issue. I just keep on driving and interacting with people and buying gas and food along the way without worry of credit card bills or a vehicle loan or even a line of credit to worry about. Money is a non-issue for me as I travel throughout Canada and the United States. I'm in a perfect state of being.
And now that I read what I've written I remember that this thought was growing in the back of mind earlier today as I was driving to and from Abbotsford and Langley, twice in a single day. Some of the roads I drove along today popped images of Serenity into my mind, making me think that I'm likely to be driving her, my beautiful camper along these same roads doing a little stealth boondocking of sorts.
But I'm possibly getting ahead of myself here as I need to give more time to meditation and Spiritual Guidance than the daydreams of the day. However, these daydreams may very well be might be just the Spiritual Guidance I speak of. Meditation will only strengthen my connection with Spirit and will really allow me to get to know in ways I never thought possible or can ever dream of.
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Thursday, June 16, 2016. More dreams about me, Wizard Oron, last night. I'm trying my best to keep me, no more my skills top of mind during my semi-waking and dreaming states so that I can move my life forward and into and onto a more spiritual minded path.
However, dreams about camping and driving Serenity here and there also filled my mind as I slept. Serenity, home sweet home! I'm tempted to bring her into Canadian Tire to get her back up and running 100 percent so I can have peace of mind as well as be able to drive her when I like.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is --“XVIII The Moon: Sexuality pulls us into a different, non-rational world which is sometimes frightening, always creative. A sense of mystery. Creative ideas which gestate in the subconscious. Sexuality or sex.”
I truly enjoy being pulled into "a different, non-rational world which is sometimes frightening, always creative". The whole "sense of mystery" that this creates is energizing, enticing, and very uplifting! And how can it not be since it's a "non-rational world" which in and of itself is full of wonderment and surprises. How very exciting! This just fills me with a sense of curiosity and the need to explore. Hence, my desire to live on the road. It fills this need to explore and see what is around the next bend in the road. What will the next stop have in store for me?
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Wednesday, June 15, 2016. Slept pretty well last night and slept until the alarm serenaded us out of our slumber. I did awake a few times throughout the night however fell right back into a good sleep cycle. Had dreams I want to remember but they are lost in the tangled mess of my memory bank. I'm doing what I can to try and remember/recall my dreams but they disappear in an instant especially when the alarm awakes me.
And with Spirit's grace, love, presence and guidance 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.”
Another reminder that I need to get acting and creating my life the way I want it to be. Surrender to Spirit, I say. Yes, indeed, I surrender to Spirit, Spirit's Love, Spirit's Will and Spirit's Guidance. I trust Spirit. I know Spirit. I love Spirit. I am one with Spirit.
And maybe I'm already creating my life, my way. As of late, I feel no anxiety, worry or fear. Things feel and are as they should be at the moment. However, I'm still not satisfied with my job nor will I ever be. Wizard Oron is who I am and I'm dreaming more and more about me being who I truly am and that is, Wizard Oron.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Thursday, June 2, 2016. Another work day down and one more to go before the weekend, a weekend with a quick family visit from a relative and afternoon of choral music with a couple of friends and maybe a bite to eat after. But still this is another weekend of relaxation and building a stronger relationship with Spirit and keeping myself in tune with the universal consciousness and consciousness of love as well as my chakras balanced and well aligned with infinite energy of the cosmos.
Today's Tarot Energy is “II The Intuitive: To be true to oneself, one must know oneself. Looking within for answers. Meditation. Intuition. Exploring that which is normally hidden.”
I spent minutes laying on a yoga mat with chakra stones and crystals lined up with my chakra centres with my eyes closed to begin a more thorough look within so I can better understand my mind, body, spirit connection and how to keep everything centred and balanced as well as continue to be one with Spirit. Time for some good and honest introspection.
What I want or as I like to think need to do and what I'm doing are still at odds. I'm holding myself back because of debt but is this a good even valid reason for me not to be doing what I've long dreamed of doing?
No, it's not!
I'm Wizard Oron and I do need to be on the road as I have many things to learn, many people to meet, many people to assist and much to see! I'm on the road more and more in my dreams and I'm more and more conscious of being Wizard Oron and a helping hand in this wonderful world.
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016. Chickadees anyone? (Truth revealed. Discover and express truth. Lies and deceptions will be found out. Threats will pass. Show no fear. Truth will out. (Animal-Speak Pocket Guide, Ted Andrews)) The only dream I remember was about a chickadee or two that befriended me. What seemed like the time I awoke was the time I awoke in the dream and where one of the chickadees flew up from my pillow and up around my Mom and my sister who were walking out on a street or something of that nature. I clearly hear myself saying "Watch Out!" as the chickadee flew in between my Mom and sister as they were crossing in front of one another. My sister turned to her left and walked into a store and my Mom walked just past the door, the chickadee flew up in front of her...then I awoke to the serenade of the alarm.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the “3 of Wands: Leaving the nest. Seeing progress. Something or someone you have nurtured must now strike out on their own.”
Can this be a reference to myself, I wonder? The last few days I've been clearly nurturing myself and actually come think about it, my partner too!
Hhhmmm...progress is definitely happening in my spiritual life and how I'm personally connected to this world and this society. What was once a somewhat of an acrimonious relationship with all of the acrimony coming from me is now quite the loving, peaceful, joyous and abundant relationship. I've connected to the consciousness of love and abundance and revel in how immersed I am in the universal consciousness all of the unconditional love that I feel and that fills this space.
I am Wizard Oron and I'm ready step out into and meet the rest of the world. Will you come along with me?
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Sunday, May 29, 2016. What a rainy day we had yesterday. We had do a couple of errands and also decided to get our weekly grocery run over and done with but boy oh boy did we ever get wet doing so. But the rain should never be complained about as we need it. Most of us here in the city waste a lot more water than we think we do and I'm always reminded of this each time we use the camper van. The water coming in goes into holding tanks before being dump and can they ever fill up fast.
We came home after our errands, had a late lunch and simply relaxed for the rest of the day. My relaxation included a bit of work on my model railroad layout, finding my misplaced papers, and then reading and fully absorbing what I reading form the book, 'Chakras For Beginners' by David Pond. Really enjoy reading this book and putting into practice what I read. You know what? I changed as a result. I kid you not, I completed reading about the first three chakras and am about halfway through reading about the fourth and feel that these four chakras are quite in balance today.
When I first started to read, study and contemplate chakras I felt a bit lost and incapable of working with my chakras however this has all changed and changed for the better. Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Novice of Swords: The suit of Swords and its corresponding element, Air, is masculine and intellectually oriented, so a youthful male with blond hair represents this Novice. He wears along yellow robe and hematite necklace. He intently examines a ritual dagger and burning incense. A cardinal perches in a nearby tree. This Novice can be someone with a goal in sight and who pursues it very single-mindedly. He can accomplish much very quickly and extremely well. However, he can be so focused that he misses changing developments, thereby going full steam ahead without considering a change of plan."
The message here today reaffirms that yes, we can be focused and accomplish much however we must be careful not to move so swiftly that we miss other ideas or opportunities that may be better or offer more efficient ways of doing things. We can maintain our focus but we must also be aware of the signs or messages that may be out there telling us to slow down and take a second look at what we are pursuing. Or simply that we must slow down and enjoy the journey as well as the end result we are after!
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Sunday, May 15, 2016. We planned on going on a hike or a bike yesterday however upon further research and reading about our chosen destination we decided to scratch it off the list as the trails may have partial closures as they travel around a lake created by a hydroelectric dam that is undergoing upgrades.
So we made the decision to head to Wreck Beach knowing that the possibility existed that we might not stay as the weather was a bit mixed as we hiked our favourite trail to the beach. However, the weather at the beach was perfect. I didn't go into the water as very few people did. My partner had to as the challenge was on as others dove into the chilly water. This is our earliest visit to the beach as last year we didn't go until around June 1st.
We grabbed Subway sandwiches on the way to the beach so that was lunch. Then on our way back home we stopped at MyCup Coffee & Tea in Kerrisdale for our afternoon coffee before taking care of our weekly grocery run. I had one of their date squares--scrumptious. I'm going to try to replicate them the next time I make them as they use other grains and seeds in addition to oats.
We relaxed the rest of the evening and dinner was simple as we grabbed a barbecued chicken and some prepared salads as part of our grocery run--delicious. Then a bit of reading, practicing Spanish, and running an engine around my layout a time or two and finally off to bed.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “XV Self-Hatred: The trap to avoid for all minorities. Unconsciously accepting societal norms. Low self-esteem."
I'm not an exact fit when it comes to living normally in society. I just don't fit into the mold that we're all supposed to fit ourselves into. I'm most certainly a contrarian. I like reading about lifestyles many people are living that fall outside the boundaries of society such as I've read in "Countryside" magazine or the book "The Contrary Farmer" by Gene Logsdon. Or even articles that appear in "Mother Earth News". And then there's the RV lifestyle that is always grabbing at me and calling my name.
I don't like sitting still. I like to be moving and exploring and talking about the many different and unique places that we get to call home or drive through here in North America. I truly do have to muster up a lot of energy and strength to resist taking off down the road and never looking back instead of going to a job that rubs me the wrong way each and every workday!
But I also have to be and really am truly thankful and grateful for what I have. For I am very blessed and very fortunate to be living the life I'm living. I live in a great home, am in a loving relationship, take part in a hobby I love--model railroading, have a great spiritual life, and own a camper van--at least once it's paid for.
So find out who you are and come to terms with it. Can you accept and love yourself for who you are even if you find yourself at odds with the rest of society. We can't all fit in and I'm quite okay with not fitting in and I'm doing my best to function as best as I can within society. But I'm now at the point where I am finding it more difficult to fit in and want to do more to live life my way. It's slow progress and requires a lot of patience almost more than I have but I'm doing my best to live as the contrarian I am. Maybe you should too!
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Saturday, May 14, 2016. I guess I was tired as I was the last to awake this morning, I awoke slightly at some point that seemed near the time I'd normally get out of bed on the weekend but I didn't so when I awoke again and open my eyes and rolled over I almost jumped out of surprise, it was 7:22am. And my partner was already awake!
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Man of Coins: Responsible and hard-working. Reliable. Dependable."
When I see this card I always think of my brother and to some extent my Dad. But today I also see a bit of myself reflected in the “Man of Coins". Over the past decade or so I've really gotten to a point where I always put the job and the company I work for first. I may grumble and complain that I'm not doing my own thing but I always do my best to give my 110%. Not all companies or employers deserve such dedication but is the way we were brought up.
And now I really want to be "Responsible and hard-working. Reliable. Dependable" for myself. Giving my all to me, Wizard Oron so that I can give my all to you! I feel a need to dedicate myself to doing all that I can to write words of wisdom that will make you lives better in whatever fashion possible. And if I meet you in person I want to leave you a better person than before I met you as I know you will do for me. In person meetings should empower the both of us!
I want to work hard for you and me so we can empower everyone in this world to spread the natural light, love, and peace that dwells within all of us, if we only dare let it shine forth for all to see!
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Friday, May 13, 2016. Lucky Friday! Hope everyone is having a good day...
...I've been resting well. Luckily, most of the stress from the day has dissipated by the time we crawl into bed. Plus going to the gym also helps in that regard. Nothing like a good workout to rid the body of unneeded and unnecessary tension. Then there is my deep love, connection and interaction with Spirit through relationships, love, nature and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “XIV Temperance: Mix things up a little. Combining separate elements to create something new. Moderation (not too much of each flavour). Flexibility.”
"Mix things up a little." Hhhmmm...as I contemplate this I think to lunchtime as I was sitting in my little piece of paradise, Serenity. Why not mix things up a little bit by parking my trusty little camper van on the street and living in her off and on...street parking will likely average about $3 to $5 per day or about $90 to $150 per month...not much different than my monthly storage bill that is pushing $140 per month. Time to daydream a little...
"Moderation (not too much of each flavour)." I see. A bit of this and that, enjoy life, do a bit of everything to keep myself from getting bored--tarot, model railroading, and RVing along with visiting family and making friends along the way. I get it--experience life deeply and fully by giving quality time and attention to those two or three things that you're most passionate about!
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Thursday, May 12, 2016. A decent night of sleep even with awaking what was likely an hour or so before the alarm as I fell back to sleep almost at the same moment I recognized that I was slightly conscious and not fully asleep. I had an odd dream or two during this time. Can't really remember much but I remember being perplexed by them.
And then Spirit's time is now and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Guide of Coins: Seeing the magic in the mundane. Spiritual fulfillment from nature. Finding joy in the ordinary.”
This is one of my favourite cards in the deck. I find the mundane, exciting and nature is Spirit in all its forms and ordinary moments are joyful and never boring. A prime example of this is how content I am to go camping and simply relax on Serenity's sofa enjoying the view out the window after a hike down a trail or a quick drive down the road to enjoy a little piece of small town America. The simple pleasures in life are the best. At least they are for me.
Let nature be the special effects in your life. Let the ordinary and mundane surprise you with just how fun, unique, and surprising they can be. If it's beach weather where you go sit down on the beach and let the waves tell you a story or go out on a limb and have a conversation with them. Or listen to a babbling brook or watch as a river flows and creates a pallet of colours, waves, and different textures as it flows to another river, a lake, or the ocean. Or simply lie on your back and stare at the sky and simply "be".
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Wednesday, May 11, 2016. The middle of the week and only two more days of working three different jobs and almost going crazy doing so. Three different jobs at the same company all in a single eight hour period. Tiring, stressful, intense and something I want to be over and done with!
Now relaxing in Serenity is the way to go even during a 60 minute lunch hour where 30 minutes or so is to drive to and from where she is parked but it feels so energizing, relaxing, and peaceful to eat my lunch sitting on the sofa. I did that yesterday so I could measure the size of the bed when the sofa is levelled out and flat. the bed size is slightly larger than a queen at about 67" x 80". Then I got to thinking that after taking her out on the long weekend I might keep her out and drive her, Serenity, the camper van, that is, to and from work. There is some free street parking a few blocks down the street from home.
But that's another story altogether let's get back on track here...
...Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “3 of Cups: A Good Time. Happy, comfortable times together. Quiet enjoyment. Celebration."
That's my relationship in a nutshell (the “3 of Cups") and the celebration is always the celebration of life and being forever thankful for the gift and privilege of life I've been given. Hasn't always been the case but over the past several years I'm always giving thanks for the gift of life and the gift of living, each and every morning. I have a lot to be happy about and many day is a good time, it's all relative after all now, isn't it?
Today is about balloons and ice cream, celebrating life, happiness, contentment, humbleness, kindness, love, compassion, laughter, and having a plain old good time!
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Tuesday, May 10, 2016. A lovely evening last night. Dinner was good and we each did our language practice and then let the night lead us the rest of the way and carry us into bed somewhere between 10:30 and 11:00pm.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Youth of Swords: Curiosity. Research. Computers, e-mail. Immature communication. Spying (or "hacking").”
Curiosity, research, computers, and email communications can be a great path toward having what you most desire. This realization just popped into my mind, a light bulb lighting up above my head. Computers and online communication are key. Videos, podcasts and even communicating via Skype are avenues to explore as opportunities for business ideas or ways to expand our existing roles in our current jobs or other job opportunities.
A few hiccups along the way are best handled as opportunities to learn and perfect your talents and skills or you may find yourself falling into a bit of immaturity and we guard against that as this is a sure deterrent to moving forward with our goals and plans. If you fall down, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get going...your goals and future are waiting.
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Monday, May 9, 2016. We reconnected with a friend mid-morning before heading out for lunch and our weekly grocery run. Mucho Burrito was our choice for lunch--and nothing too exciting so we'll likely not return and Save On Foods was our stop for groceries as is the case most of the time.
After returning home my brother called so we headed over to where he is and went out for what turned into our afternoon coffee and dessert and my brother's lunch at the Savary Island Pie Company-fantastic. We then walked along the waterfront trail from John Lawson Park to Dundarave Park, about 4km roundtrip and a beautiful walk under bright and sunny skies.
We dropped my brother off and returned home, having our dinner around 8pm. Called dad and wished him a 'Happy Birthday'. We relaxed do whole lot of nothing and hit the sack about 11:00pm.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “4 of Cups: The Audition. A new opportunity or choice presents itself. Everything hangs in the balance. Nervousness, excitement.”
I did my best to keep every part of my being on the lookout a new opportunity and to also to be aware that a choice may come before me however as of now I haven't really seen, felt or heard anything. One choice I made is to not go to the gym tonight as I got home a bit later than I expected to and dinner had to be in the oven when I'd be just nearing the tail-end of my workout.
So here I am writing about this and that but most of all contemplating, thinking, and writing about the “4 of Cups". Oh, and dinner is smelling absolutely delicious. A new "Choice"...hhhmmm...visiting my Dad and his wife are on my mind and I'd love to do this throughout the summer...Kamloops could be a nice place to be this summer...choices, choices, choices...
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Sunday, May 8, 2016. Happy 75th Birthday Dad!
We cleaned house yesterday before heading out for lunch, returning home, me getting a haircut and then us going out for an afternoon of entertainment at the Kino Cafe also known as the Kino Flamenco Tapas Bar. A trio was playing but didn't catch their name, one my partner's co-workers plays the mandolin, one of three instruments. There is also a bass player and acoustic guitar player and all three do vocals. They play a lot of folk music.
We then took a walk down to False Creek and strolled along there to Main Street where we grabbed a bite at Torafuku, serving up pan Asian flavours, no sushi here. The food is good, served tapas or family style. Tried it but don't need to go back and besides I'm still craving the sushi I was after.
Then it was a relaxing evening at home that quickly led to bedtime...
...and today's visiting Gay Tarot Energy is “XIV Temperance: Mix things up a little. Combining separate elements to create something new. Moderation (not too much of each flavour). Flexibility.”
This all about keeping our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves in healthy balance. We need to strike up a good balance between the three if we wish to lead healthy and productive lives not for others but rather for ourselves. Balance and equilibrium between our hearts, bodies, and spirits allows us to function as a whole being, if you will thus bring clarity of mind, thought, and action...better able to make decisions that lead to better living.
Better decisions and better living then help us to bring balance into all other areas of our lives such as our relationships whether at home, at work or at play (friends).
Mix it up a little but with a focus on maintaining balance and equilibrium in your life with the goal of maintaining harmony and sanity in your life.
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Saturday, May 7, 2016. A relaxing Friday evening after an exhausting week of work is exactly what I needed. Read a little bit about model railroad electronics after recording a short bit on yesterday's Tarot then watched some TV.
Then after sleeping in this morning I awoke with a decision to make, walk down to Pier Park and work with Tarot there or work with Tarot here at home and then go to the gym. I chose the latter and I'm glad I did. I feel great, nothing like a good morning workout to welcome in a day that so magnificently welcomes us out of our slumber.
Spirit's time is now and today's Whimsical (Tarot) Tarot Energy is the "Queen of Swords: Let others suffer the consequences of their actions. Be your own person and you won’t get burned. When reversed: Heavy demands make you feel doubt. Loyalty is admirable, but don’t dwell too much on the past. You have a mind of your own—assert it!. You don’t need anyone else’s approval."
"Be your own person", "you have a mind of your own--assert it" and "you don't need anyone else's approval" are our mantras not only for today but every single day of our lives! I'm guilty of not doing enough for myself, not asserting my mind, and worrying too much about what others may think. I've finally realized that I fear being embarrassed about identifying myself as Wizard Oron to others and what most makes me tick--Spirit, Tarot, the esoteric, nature, the netherworld, things that for now are more subjective than fact but this is all what I love so much!
I have this underlying feeling that I could survive and get by if I dropped everything now and hit the road but I fear this risk of doing this and failing. But I need to try, I really need to try and do this and whether I succeed or fail is cannot be my focus. I really feel the need to finally give into my wanderlust and let the chips fall where they may...hhhmmm...will I finally be able to do this?
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
