The "9 of Swords" and Staring Stress and Worry Down and Getting them to Move Aside

Cannot really remember much of any dreams I may have had but I did fall asleep thinking about the stones and crystals tucked neatly under my pillow.  I do remember something about being on a schedule and having to get things moving by certain times.  But the images are kind of foggy but I can definitely say that I do remember any job related thoughts or dreams until I awoke an hour or so before the alarm.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the “9 of Swords: Unquiet Dreams.  Stress.  Worries.  Mental tapes which play over and over.”

The best way to get rid of and stop "Unquiet Dreams" is to face them head-on.  Don't try to avoid them or push them aside...simply face them down and force them to move aside.  Unnecessary "Stress" is created by avoidable "Worries" as most of the time if not one hundred percent of the time we worry about things we cannot change or have no influence over.  And now that I think about it our worries become worse because we're always focusing on them instead of other things that can and will bring about change in our lives.  Focus on finding solutions or ways avoid such unnecessary stress and worry.  There is always a better and brighter alternative to focus on rather than focusing on that which causes us worry.  Think about and you'll know this is true.

Thank You Spirit.

Turning "XV Self-Hatred" into Self-Definition and Living to the Beat of Your Own Drum

Slept well until I'm guessing around 5:00am then I tossed and turned until the alarm serenaded us.  Last night we had dinner out as a friend dropped by for a visit and it too late to be making dinner.

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

"Unconsciously accepting societal norms" can cause us a lot of heartache and pain because we try to fit into something that has been labelled normal but normal for who and who defines what is normal?  We do not all have fit into neat little tidy boxes or have nice little labels affixed to our person so that people know what category we belong.  We're individuals and should be treated as such.  What works for me might not work for you and that should be okay.  We all have our own thoughts, ideas, opinions, dreams and aspirations and we all should be respectful of one another.
Differences are not a bad thing and why do we all need to be "normal".  Normal for who?  A relationship is a great example of how people can get along and be different at the same time.  For example, my partner is a scientist and I am not.  I like all matters of spiritual things, believe in cosmic energy that connects us all, believe in the power of Spirit, believe in the guidance of Tarot, believe that people can communicate with the Spirit world and much more...my partner not so much.  But we still get along and I Tarot Cards and other spiritual things all around our place.  One thing we do not do is label one another and we do our best not to label others as well.  We have our own likes and dislikes and do our best to take part in each other's likings...movies, art, travel, places to visit.

Let go of trying to fit into categories or finding the right label to place upon yourself.  Do your best to be you and do not let other people define who you are.  Define yourself and yet at the same time be flexible enough and allow that definition to evolve over time as you grow and mature and develop as a person as you journey through life and interact with the thousands of people likely to cross your path.

Thank You Spirit.

VI The Lovers and Making Differences Work In Our Relationships

Last night got away from me.  Started chatting with a friend online and then suddenly it was time for bed.  Didn't even finish my thoughts here last night but I think what I wrote about the “5 of Coins" is pretty good.

And even though I went to bed feeling pretty tired I didn't sleep all that well...tossing and turning and dreaming about and actually physically smelling a terrible aroma...must have something to do with the news piece and about the smelly composting facility in Richmond.  Although I do drive through this area that has a bad smell to it as of late...just near the New Westminster and Burnaby border along North Road.  And then I was doing my best to direct my dreams and thoughts toward my career as Wizard Oron, interpreting Tarot for people as well as lending them my ear as well as facilitating their communication with Spirit.  With all of my efforts some images related to the job crept into my mind.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "VI The Lovers: A relationship is always a mingling of differences.  A powerful relationship.  Seeing both sides of an issue.  Flexibility.”

"A relationship is always a mingling of differences" and "A powerful relationship" results from such mingling.  Differences do not have to strain or separate the lovers and as this card suggests should create a more loving and powerful relationship for the differences help create power and strength when two people see the value and more importantly the need for and the importance of such differences.  Differences challenge us to think critically and find ways to make these differences work for us and our respective relationships.

Thank You Spirit.

Tuesday, November 15, 2016.  A mixed night of sleep and awoke well before the alarm and tossed and turned for what seemed like a few hours.  I fell asleep with great thoughts and was having great spiritual dreams but then was startled awake and tossed and turned the rest of the night.  But I loved the dreams I was having...sitting in my van talking with a variety of different people about Tarot and Spirit and even being "interviewed" by someone asking a million questions and wondering why I was not seeking fame and fortune.  My answer was simple...people are important and what is out the window is also important...the world, nature and our intimate relationship with it.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the “5 of Coins: Hard Times.  Material difficulties.  Lack of money.  People in adversity helping each other."

"People in adversity helping each other" is a good thing and a great way to show the world that even we may be down and hard on our luck in whatever fashion it may take we can still find it in ourselves to reach out and help someone else in need.  Adversity can take many forms but it's what we do when adversity strikes that can make all the difference in the world and when we can find it in ourselves to help others also in need that speaks volumes about what kind of person we truly are.

Thank You Spirit.

The Youth of Wands and Being Willing to Make an Unsure Reach For the Stars

A sleepless night for the most part.  Had a bit of a nightmare where I was unable to see.  The last thing I remember from the dream was that I was looking out the window and thought a fierce storm was raging outside...a snowstorm, no maybe a sandstorm but then I thought I was having a hard time seeing because my sleep mask kept sliding down over my eyes.  I kept lifting it off my head but my vision kept being impaired.  That's when I discovered that I was losing my sight and yelled at my partner sitting in the den.  Next thing I knew I was screaming and kicking in bed.  After this I hardly slept a wink.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the “Youth of Wands: Focusing attention on something.  Reaching for a goal from a possibly unsteady foundation.”

"Reaching for a goal from a possibly unsteady foundation” is not necessarily a bad thing just risky is all.  And I'm willing to take the chance.  I really want to break away or break free from having an outside job.  I want the chance to prove to myself that I can earn my own keep and manage my finances much better than I have in the past with the past being last year and buying, Serenity, my wonderful van on credit of all things.  I had little to no debt but this past year I've added to my debt and will do almost anything to get rid of it right here and now.  But enough of that...

...as I was saying it's not always a bad thing to reach for something from an unsure footing, sometimes you simply have to, as I'm sure many of us have experienced at times there is no other choice and no other way.  And many of us have been rewarded for our unsteady and maybe unsure reach.  I took risks in the past and I'd say a good seventy-five percent of the time things worked out well.

So today, I reached out and asked, begged and pleaded even with the Universe, the Great Spirit to be given another chance, to be given the opportunity to stake my claim as Spiritual Guidance Counsellor and Tarot Intuitive and see what I can make of it.  I've got business cards, car door magnets, Tarot Cards, a mobile office, the willingness to meet in public, the courage to try, to do my best, and even stumble and fall once in awhile as I go out and find myself some clients.  Clients willing to take a chance on me, someone who believes without a doubt in a spirit, an energy greater than ourselves, that connects us all, that permeates every atom of our being and our ability to gain wisdom and power from it to do good things here in the physical world.

If I fall down I'm going to get right back up and try again!

Thank You Spirit.

Find "14 Balance" In Your Life Then Discover Your Higher Self

We had a fairly quiet day yesterday as I brought the car in for an oil change and to get the winter tires put on.  I brought it in around 9am for my one o'clock appointment so I could get on with my day and not worry about bringing the car in later.  But because of the great service they offer, Hyack Tire called me around 12:50pm to tell me that the car was ready.  Imagine that my car is ready and the scheduled appointment was still ten minutes away.  Fantastic.

Since we had the idea of going out for an urban walk, we headed out and did it.  This tine starting at Granville Island, for an afternoon coffee and snack we then walked east along the south side of False Creek ending up at Main Street where we then headed south, taking our time as the shorter day gave way to night.  Not that we were super hungry we decided to have dinner out and found ourselves at El Caminos, a Latin American inspired hole in the wall with great ambience and atmosphere and the food is pretty good too! and we beat the evening rush.  Dessert was at home, Flan de Calabaza...delicious!

Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is "14 Balance: You must be balanced and patient.  The time is right to rest and contemplate all the facets of your existence.  To continue now you must be still and calm.  Finding the inner balance that will enable you to see beyond the present state is a process of trust and confidence in your own strengths.  These facets may include the parts of your psyche that you would rather not deal with, but no amount of denial will rid you the need to absorb and reclaim them.  Balance is absolutely necessary to free the inner self from the fears and self-doubts that keep us spiritually deaf, dumb, and blind.  Once the natural state of balance is achieved, the plateau that will give you access to the higher self will be open before you."

"14 Balance is absolutely necessary to free the inner self from the fears and self-doubts that keep us spiritually deaf, dumb, and blind.  Once the natural state of balance is achieved, the plateau that will give you access to the higher self will be open before you."

If I want to achieve such balance in my life I accept my fits of anger, my stubbornness, and my contrariness.  For I am who I am and so what if I think society can be much better than it is.  Who doesn't?  So what if I want to work in a career that does not seemingly fit in with those acceptable jobs and career paths.  My role is needed by people who wish to be who they are but find it difficult to fit into a labelling and judgmental society that wants everyone to fit into nice tidy boxes.  My anger and stubbornness are now part of my strengths, skills, and talents and I am manifesting my present at this very moment.  For I am Wizard Oron, your local Spiritual Guidance Counsellor on this road of Life and I'm also a Tarot Intuitive.  So by the way, "What's Your Tarot?"

Here's what you can do, find a way to turn everything bad about you into a strength that you can use to bring about positive change in your life and turn your life more into the direction you wish to go.  Perhaps, a good place to start is by taking all the negative stuff people say about you or complain about what's wrong with you and turn it into something positive by looking at it through a more spiritual and objective lens.  Grow from it and become a better person, the person who you want and know that you can be.  It won't necessarily be easy but real living is getting back up every time you fall.

So let us rest and contemplate all the facets of our existence by being still and calm so we can achieve balance in our lives by finding, accepting, trusting and having confidence in our own strengths.  This will only come from our acceptance of all that we are, the good and the bad, if we must apply such labels to ourselves.

Thank You Spirit.

20 The Great Bear, Being Honest, Loving, and Forgiving

Since yesterday, was Remembrance Day, we had a quiet homey day.  I piddled around with my model railroad where I carved a bit more shape into the mountain as well as painted the concrete foundation of Di's Diner.  We spent a short while enjoying an afternoon coffee at Old Crow Coffee where we both read and relaxed a bit.  And on our way to grabbing our coffee, a pigeon came swooping down and landed almost between us.  (Pigeon (Return Home) Seek security around and in the home.  If storms arise, huddle with your family -- biological or otherwise)  After coffee we took a short walk along the riverfront before heading over to Safeway to grab a baguette to go with our dinner.  Before dinner I watched the Robocop remake to relax even more on this statutory holiday.

My dreams last night were mixed as I went to bed with the thought of why I want to be a Spiritual Guidance Counsellor and how I can best help people or bring about positive change to this world.  So my dreams reflected that but then images of what changes will come to our American neighbours once Donald Trump takes office filled my mind-the bleaching of America, changes to the constitution to erode voter's rights and to control the media, and allow Donald Trump to remain in power more the one term.  I also kept seeing the words "Donald Trump" and "False Prophet" flashing through my mind as the night wore on...enough of that!  I live in Canada for crying out loud!

Before awaking though, I was working with many others in an effort to fill the world with more light, love, peace, compassion, and empathy and the energy we were raising was amazing to see and feel, it was like a refreshing, invigorating sunrise after days of living through dark and stormy weather.

I'm not sure if I was dreaming or that the image of today's Tarot Card came to mind upon awaking however I saw this card sometime between the time I went to bed and awoke this morning...Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "20 The Great Bear: The only thing in life that is assured is that, if you wait long enough, it will change.  How you survive that change and who you are after it is up to you.  The major element in this process is judgment of yourself and others.  This may relate to an assessment regarding a personal matter or situation, and could be linked to the process of forgiving.  It may also relate to a group or social decision.  In the process of judgment, both as an individual and on the universal level, honesty is the key.  Be honest, be forgiving, be patient, but most of all, be assured change is at hand.  Remember, the universe has a long memory.  Nothing is ever forgotten."

"20 The Great Bear" is telling us that "In the process of judgment", "honesty is the key" where we must be both patient and forgiving in all of our relationships.  If I'm honest about my personal relationship, I'm in a loving, honest and communicative relationship where we both want to build a stronger home and life together.  In regards to the job, I know that I can no longer allow myself to be used as a pawn as the company continues to disrespect and disparage the employees that work there, me included.  The best decision and course of action I can take is to quit the job and move into a position where I bring more light, love, peace, compassion and empathy into this world starting with myself for I must be the change I wish to see in this world and in my life.  And the best way to do this is to give back all the light, love, peace, compassion, and empathy I've received and experienced in my life.

Thank You Spirit.

Our Three Card Card of the Day Spread: XVI The Tower, Four of Wands, and VII The Chariot

We decided to go out last night for a fast food dinner, a movie, and to check out a club.  Since time was tight, McDonald's was on the way and our quickest option, not bad for our once a meal year at this establishment.  The movie, Inferno was entertaining and worth watching, at least for us.  The club was so-so, guess we've moved beyond the club scene.  But it was a fun night to be out with each other.

Spirit Is and today is a three card Tarot Energy day:

Card For the Day: "XVI The Tower.  If we do not relinquish the paths of baser nature; if we continue to act in ways that are not in our greatest good, the Tower tears down those things that are dangerous to us, and forces us to confront the reality before us."

Attend to This: "Four of Wands.  Seven people gather together for a ritual.  Our Witch is dressed entirely in white and a handsome young man stands with her dressed in black.  Around them four witches hold four wands in a ritual circle and are dressed to represent the elements:  Yellow for Air, Red for Fire, Blue for Water, and Green for Earth.  The group's priestess stands in the background, blessing the newly married couple as they begin their life together.  This card can represent marriage or any other significant milestone or ritual.  Whatever the event, it is one worthy of special celebration.  Surround yourself with those who can mark the occasion with the honour and joy it deserves."

What to Look Out For: "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."

"XVI The Tower" is letting us know that the path to freedom and success from the self-imposed constraints on our lives is to reach for our highest ideals and to use the great and sometimes latent intelligence we have to move beyond the limitations of our primitive brains and instinctive and reactive nature to living life.  View the world through spirit and our connection to it as well as the world around us and harness the strength and power this gives us.

The "Four of Wands" is encouraging us to celebrate our newfound knowledge and understanding that we do not have to live a life of fear and misery as many times these are the product of our own thoughts and actions.  When we open our hearts, minds, and spirits to the unlimited potential of life and infinite knowledge and wisdom that dwells deep within us our minds clear and our thoughts become clear and precise allowing to us make wise decisions that lead to positive actions.

The appearance of "VII The Chariot" provides us with the means to run toward and meet our success head on and with open and loving arms.  Success comes to us when we accept that yes, we, too can be successful!

Thank You Spirit.
