The Nature of Today's Energy 7.1.13: Spiritual Adrenaline Junkie

Monday 7.1.13:

The card of the day is the Four of Coins. The hidden energy card is Temperance. The card sits in the position of Amethyst = psychic abilities and behavior patterns.

Have you ever wondered what happens to us when we decide to go against the flow of energy? 

Our spirit screams with a great alarm and bangs against our bones. It rattles us to the core. The only thing to do is listen but our body thinks this pain and discomfort is normal. 

When I decided to leave my temporary job (I see all of my day jobs that pay the bills as a temporary job, because I am simply working to work), I had to work through my Ego. It was advising me that if I did not work a normal job, then I would die and not exist. 

I had to laugh. I had to really listen to my spirit and ask "will I die if I am not working?"

My spirit returned with an answer "NO".

Who was I to believe more?

Sometimes the only path you can take is the one that is set before you. Sometimes you can not see what is behind the mountain that sits in front of you. It may scare you as you think of the worst case scenario. There could be a cliff or a gap so wide that you surely will have to turn around and start over. That you will have climbed it for nothing. 

Then, I begin to think about a rock climber. Their only motive is to reach the top. It is not to get to the other side. They look at the view, climb back down, and proceed to plan the next great adventure.

The rock climber is only looking for the recognition, from their inner self, that they are strong enough. 

To be strong enough. 

Are you looking for the same thing? 

Or are you climbing the mountain for someone else?

Either way, you will reach the top, look down at what is before you, and understand that it was the best adventure in the world.

Haha! 

I guess you could call me a spiritual adrenaline junkie. Always wanting to jump off the cliff, like the Fool card, in order to get a rush from that first step into the unknown. I do not think I am alone but I do think that there are those out there who think the same as me. Who leave jobs every so often because their spirit advises them to. Who move from one place to another, hoping to find their way home. Sounds familiar?

Do not give up hope. When I first recognized this pattern in my life, I thought there was something wrong with me, and I proceeded to push against the flow of energy. Then I began to meditate and really listen to Source. I was the connection that energy needed to flow through. I know now that everything works out in my favor and in turn I can be that beacon of hope to others. To aid them in knowing that if they decide to jump, then they will be okay. That the mountain is simply a mountain, and the top is a moment of clarity. Proof that they are strong enough to tackle the next one.  It may be small. It may be bigger. One thing is for sure....it will not kill you. Take that step. Move. Let the energy guide you. You have to sometimes give a lot to get a little. You have more than enough to give. Plus the pay off is magnificent. It may look small but it packs a great punch. 

Blessed Be.

The Nature of Today's Energy 4.24.13: Wish Granted

Wednesday 4.24.13:

There are times when we try, with all our might, to manifest something so spectacular, that we are sure it will be the answer we need. We focus so hard on that which is desired, and in turn, we create that very item. Now what?

Are we left feeling satisfied? Do we want more?

Sometimes I find myself complaining about something so small, when there is so much good to be thankful for. 

The card that I picked, for today, is the Nine of Cups. It sits in the position of Owl/Mystery/Secret. The hidden energy card is the Tower. 

Sometimes our secret desire, is to simply be happy, and there are times when we believe that by manifesting a certain item, we will find that happiness. 

Our belief system has to be shattered, in order to find that perfect piece of the puzzle, that will fit into the empty slot. The Tower is working behind the scenes, destroying everything in sight, so that we will be left with the basic fundamentals of happiness. Sometimes we have to lose everything, in order to find value in new items. Sometimes we have to have a hurricane rush through our home, so that we can learn to deal with chaos in our life, by starting at the beginning. By starting with step 1: cleaning up the mess. 

A lot of books, regarding the Tarot, advise that the Nine of Cups is a Wish card. 

What are we truly wishing for? What is desired? Actually, what is needed within our life at this time?

For some it may be patience. Others it could be acceptance. I know that in my life, I am needing to return to my spiritual practice of meditating and praying everyday. I miss it. I use to pray and meditate everyday after I worked out. Soon I became lazy and started to cut back, then I started to not work out all together, and when I began to gain weight, I would complain!

Oh Aaron, get your shit together...

I noticed that the Universe was calling me to take a few moments and return to what is known. With starting at the very beginning. A very good place to start...and in comes Julie Andrews. 

It is true though. You must start at the beginning. Sometimes we become blinded by our gold and jewels. Blinded by the shiny things we have accumulated in our life. The mystery, or secret, behind all of it, is to snap our self out of the daze we are in, and return to our spiritual practice. A Mystic's job is never done. We can enjoy the achievement all we want, but we still need to keep on walking our path of spiritual enlightenment. We still need to keep on living, loving, and healing. 

Do not get too use to the feeling of greatness and satisfaction, for eventually that wonderful lightening bolt will strike our tower down. We will fall to the ground and be advised to build a stronger and better tower, than the last. We will be strong ourselves. To survive a large enough fall, and only come out with a few scratches, shows us that we were built to last. 

Then again you could be like other people, who's tower is struck with the lightening, they are thrown to the ground, and in turn they complain about the small scratch on their arm, as if it was broken and bleeding. Making a mountain out of a mole hill. 
The choice is yours. 

Blessed Be.
