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.
Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is "11 The Woodward: Through adversity or the process of re-balancing in life, we find courage within ourselves that flows from an unknown source. Sometimes that courage has to do with facing unavoidable truth or dealing with a person or problem that no amount of physical confrontation or emotional bravery will resolve. The Woodward's strength, drawn from nature's inherent power to renew and overcome, is needed if we are to foresee what is to come and wait upon the turning of the seasons. Sometimes, when faced with a challenging situation, we must find our own inner backstop, the point from which we will not retreat or from which we can move forward with quiet confidence. The Wildwood ethos has to teach humanity about calm, resolute strength."
Sometimes, what's needed is an inner, well-focused and resolute strength in order for us to see our plans and goals through to completion. Oftentimes, this will not happen until we're pushed to our limits where we are teetering on the edge of a cliff and where a shift in our balance one way or another will either lead to a more solid footing or a great fall. We all have the strength within us to succeed but we don't always know how to channel or make this inner strength work for us. At least, not until we are pushed to the extreme where it becomes a "do" or "die" situation, if you will.
But realising this should be enough for us to connect with this inner strength and use it to carry us forward to see our goals through to their successful completion. We need to become one with our goals, to let our goals become a part of the very fabric of our being so much so that they help provide us with the focus, strength and momentum needed that carries us forward to meet our future selves, living the fruits of our labour and fulfillment of our goals.
Thank You Spirit.
Another day closer to moving from a job into a career, a spiritual career, a career that will be fulfilling and satisfying beyond what words can describe. An experience that needs to be experienced to know and understand what I'm feeling.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “8 of Coins: The Factory. Skill and mastery. Tedious, repetitive labour. Slow and methodical progress."
I'm working hard as likely you are, working hard to master your skills and improving your talents but through it all loving what you're doing. For me, Spirit, Tarot and officiating weddings are dreams come true and I wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, I just happened to hear the end of a story on the radio about a wedding officiant and knew that hearing this brief snippet of a story was confirmation to me that I'm on the right path. A path where officiating over weddings is in my very near future. After all, I'm a Metaphysician, a Metaphysical Ceremonialist, a Tarot Intuitive, also known as a Tarot Medium and this is very fulfilling and satisfying to me.
Thank You Spirit.
I fell asleep with thoughts of officiating over a wedding of two wonderful people, people that came back into my mind when I was driving to the job. I also had thoughts of Elizabeth Gilbert, Dr Leon Masters, and Pamela Eakins. I fell asleep working in my chosen spiritual career and what I wonderful night of sleep I had.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “3 of Cups: A Good Time. Happy, comfortable times together. Quiet enjoyment. Celebration."
This is what my partner and I try to do every day, have happy, comfortable, quiet times and enjoyment together. We're happy with our routine even mundane lives and have no need or desire to change any of it. We're enjoying life and we're enjoying each other each other's company. We have made a beautiful and comfortable home for ourselves and when we have visitors they feel it as no one is ever to eager to leave. The home we've created for ourselves is filled with the love and appreciation we feel and have for each other and this energy is also felt by those we welcome through our doors.
Thank You Spirit.
Yesterday was all about getting ready to receive an out of town visitor, an acquaintance of my partner's. He has come to Canada, his first time here to participate in a few conferences two here in Vancouver and one in Montreal. over the next month or so. He seems like a very nice guy and his free accommodation we arranged for him during his stay here is in the heart of downtown Vancouver.
So that was our Saturday.
Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is "XVIII The Moon: Much the way that moonlight and sunlight show us differing perspectives of a situation, in this case we are able to see that our fears are not the reality; we are buying into a dream state, frightened by things which do not need to have power over us. We need to realise and take our power back from the nightmares in our lives."
As I'm working harder on fine-tuning my website and exactly what services I'm offering a bit of fear is creeping around the outskirts of my thoughts and mind. Thankfully, I see that I do not and will not pay attention to this fearful energy as it is unfounded and an unnecessary distraction. Today's Moon Energy is about exposing such fears for what they really are, illusions trying to rob me of my power to move forward and thrive in a new career that is my purpose.
I am in control, my power is my own!
Seize your power, harness it and know that you alone control your power and direction it takes, never relinquish it to fear or any other negativity that may come knocking at your door.
Thank You Spirit.
