The Nature of Today's Energy 7.19.13: Every Relationship is a Connection to Source

Friday 7.19.13:

The card of the day is the Two of Cups. The hidden energy card is the Hierophant. The card sits in the position of Moonstone = mystery and intuition. 

I understand that when someone is looking for that certain wonderful. That awesome state of existence. Then we have to make a connection. Connection to those around us. A connection to Source. 

Sometimes we can not see the good that is taking place behind the curtain. 

The energy is always flowing. 

Connections are always made. 

I recognize the good within my life. I recognize that there is only light. 

A connection can be made with anyone. Even with your enemies. 

There are moments in our life that take us back to the beginning. To the start. Sometimes we miss a few steps and have to return to where it all started. 

My life started in Ventura. I have lived in other states but I always return to that which I know. 
I think I understand that relationships have to be built across other states. They keep us connected to Source. They keep us from drifting too far off into the next plane of existence. 

I know that relationships will be started today that will be of a spiritual nature. I must use my tools. My keys. I must open the door. I have to keep the energy flowing. If I was to stop all that is good. If I was to stop my intention of growth, then surely my life would cease to exist. 

We are born to connect to those around us. We are born to make friends. To find family and partners that keep us alive. The relationships that make us move and grow. 

Do not be afraid of loss. The relationship never really leaves our field of existence. It simply is dimmed. It can be rekindled. The spark can be created but this time you will be in control. Control of your own energy and power. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 7.6.13: Breaking Through the Sludge

Saturday 7.6.13:

The card of the day is Disruption or the Tower. The hidden energy card is the Sun. The card sits in the position of Moonstone = mystery and intuition. 

The safe house that our spirit dwells in can be destroyed at a moments notice. The tree house can be struck with lightening. 

What happens when our life is shaken up? Disrupted with a jolt of lightening. Sometimes everything within our life must be broken down. It must be destroyed. Struck to the ground with a spiritual arrow of Truth. We fall. Our Ego is bruised. 
In the end, we move forward, with the small pieces of love that are left over. The fringed pieces of love and truth that may not look like much but pack a powerful punch. They are the survivors. 
Brush them off. Look at them and examine the true potential hidden within. 

The sun shines once more. The light at the end of the tunnel gets brighter. You can see the end. We all pass through a stage of "breaking through the sludge". 

The slimy film that we produce as we pick up other people's energy and doubt. When we seek advise from those that wish to project their life on us, a small amount of energy is transferred to our spirit, and we cause a build up.
The energy is advising you to break through. The sludge is only two inches thick. It may cover all light around you. It may seem like there is no light, but if you simply put your arm out, you will surely find the other side. Leave it behind. It is time to see the Sun. The clouds need to part. They are only there because you wish them to be present. 

"Oh how gloom and doom things may seem. Oh how awful all of this seems. Oh what will I do now? I can not move forward." 

This form of thought leads us down a new path of destruction. A negative path of "lack of". A negative path of pure chaos where you are only a supporting actor, rather than the star. What happens in Star Trek to the supporting actor who goes with the main crew on their journey to the unknown planet? 
We all know that this person will surely not return. He will be taken and transformed into food or shot with a ray gun. Oh poor soldier #2. 

Let us not be an unknown actor but the main character. Step into the light and be the Golden Child. The prodigal son. Blast through your sludge and shine! Return to the light! 

Your thoughts become the theme music of your show. Can you hear them playing the heroine theme? I can. 
It is time to be known. It is time to exist. Time to be that wonderful and great person that was born to do awesome things! Who cares what the details may be. It is all about the recognition of your intent. The intent to exist.  

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 6.19.13: Great Expectation

Wednesday 6.19.13:

A new day brings new beginnings. The card of the day is the Star. The hidden energy card is the Fool. The card sits in the position of Winter = reflection, transition, release. 

Yesterday was a challenge. It took all the strength in me to not get up from my desk and walk out. I was fed up with everything around me and really missed my friends and family. I was a mess. With the destruction of Chaos comes clarity. The storm has passed and I am picking up the pieces. It is hard to be calm within the eye of the storm. To let the items swish around and hit you but it is all part of the process. 

I am awake on this day and with a fresh outlook on life. I move through this day with clarity and find that there is always an answer.

I found that I really needed to take charge and speak up. I had to let go of the chains that I have placed on my life. The chains that keep me tied to the ground. I realized that I was allowing others to take control of the reins and drive me right off the cliff of negativity. 

All I wanted to do was press the restart button but there was something more happening on the outside. Change was happening and I was resisting it. I understood that by going to bed last night, I would wake up with a changed outlook on life. I just had to make it through the day. I shut myself off. I pressed the pause button on the movie of my life and waited. 

Waited for everything else to settle down, so that I could press play again. 

Hope is in the air. Hope of a good day. The goal is there in front of me, all I have to do is keep on moving. 

A new path has opened up. Hmmmm? That was not there yesterday. 

Sometimes we are distracted by the very reality we have created. We must look past it. Look past the obstacle and see the answer. 

Sometimes you have to be short and sweet with an entry. Some people only want to get down to the nitty gritty of things. Long winded people are rarely heard because humans sometimes want the cleft notes to life. 

Oh, if it was that easy. 

The challenge for today is to view your new path, new project, or new beginning and see one good thing about it. 

Look at it and state "I see this wonderful path which contains *blank* and it is good". 

Change your thought and change the circumstance. 

Sometimes the answers can be found hidden in the memories of yesterday. Hidden in the absence of something. Hidden in actions that were taken to get you to here. At this very moment in time. This moment of greatness.

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 5.8.13: Force

Wednesday 5.8.13: 

With great power, comes great opportunity. Force creates the tools that are needed. The tools and the answer to our questions. We have the balance of energies, so that we can use both aspects of our self (shadow and light) to the greatest advantage. 

The card of the day is the Chariot. The hidden energy card is the Sun. 
Two very positive cards. 
Of course we see the light and shadow side of each card. Both characteristics must be viewed and understood, in order to move forward with great intent. The light can not live without the dark. Day can not live without night. Both are required in order to sustain life. Water can not be without Earth. Fire can not live without Air. 

Do you see the balance?
Do you see the two forces working as one?

The trick to all of this, is to not think one out weighs the other, or brush aside the shadow part of a project. The good is just as important as the bad. We must recognize the reason we have deviated from our true path. The shadow part must be accepted in order to understand the light. In order to be guided by the Divine. 

Here is where it gets tricky. Some would state that if you think of evil, then evil will surely be seen and take place. I am not stating that you give all your attention to the negative aspect of a subject. I am stating that the possibility must be accepted and then one must move forward with the intent that everything will work out for the greater good.

I think that every super hero must really think about the great impact their decision has on others. They struggle with their ability to make a decision for the whole rather than for the single. To sacrifice one in order to save many. 

I always think about Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the show). I enjoyed it to the fullest and miss it dearly. The episode that comes to mind, is the very last episode of the series, where Spike is holding the necklace of the Champion. It is starting to create light and he understands that he can not take it off. That the sacrifice must be his own life, in order to save the mass...in order to save the world. 

This is Force. Sometimes we have to die in order to be reborn. Spoiler alert****
Spike does come back later in the Angel series as a ghost and then as a real person, because he sacrificed his own life to save others, he was rewarded by the Gods, to return to this reality. 

How does this tie into the Chariot?

We have to be the vessel that the Divine can manifest through. It may hurt. It may burn with great intent. It may even kill our spiritual essence of the past, but one thing is for certain; we will be reborn. 

We will be wiser. We will be stronger. We will understand Sacrifice. We will contain power. The power to move forward, when everyone else is advising us to stay back. To not go through the change. To state that what we are doing is a mistake. 
I have to remember that I want to be like a river, constantly flowing, rather than the pond of stagnant water. 

I allow Source to guide me. I allow the good to be seen. I allow the change to take place. Even if it means leaving a certain situation. Even if it means giving up what I have. Remember that when we are returning to our home, to our center, we arrive with very little items. We arrive with our essence and the spiritual truth we have. We return to find that truth...that we are love. That we are a wonderful being of light. That we do not need all the slight of hand tricks and shimmering light shows to exist. We simply need to recognize that we are part of the whole and the whole is part of us. 

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.  

The Nature of Today's Energy 4.17.13: Ego

Wednesday 4.17.13:

The Devil card sits in the position of Owl/Mystery/Secrets.
The hidden energy card is the Moon.

A lot of Mystery lies within the day. Enough spaces for my Ego to hide in, to slip by with no warning, and cause the abundance of life to be squashed. The seed will surely not grow.

The Devil is not a bad card. It teaches us to be humble. It teaches me to be cautious of what my inner voice is saying. What intuition is telling me. When a light bringer is faced with decisions, they usually have to meditate on the situation. I always state to those around me, that I have to meditate, before I can give an answer. I must look inside and answer with clarity. Discuss things with my spirit guide. If it takes a month, then you better believe that it will be a defined answer.

The Ego will surely make itself known. Humans must learn to look past the noise that the Ego makes, every so often, and move forward with great Faith. Be Brave. Remember that the energy of the week is about Abundance of things. I know that the Abundance of negative thought can present itself to us in many forms.

So, what is the advice that must be taken in, for the day?

Be Brave! Stick your tongue out at your Ego. Understand that you must see it within your mind, before it can be created. The frame is simply decoration. The picture can go on forever. 

Last night I went to a class regarding the Goddess Tara. It was very interesting. The nun talked about how Tara is a bringer of swift help or the heroine. When one asks for help, she is known to bring about wisdom and clarity. She helps a person through ignorance. I had to ask about the word ignorance. What did it mean?
Was it about a person being blind to the Truth. The Nun advised me, that it was about the ignorance of a mistake. A person is constantly making mistakes within their life. The Ego helps us with that action. 
It was very interesting to learn about another Goddess or Deity that is related to so many others, such as Mother Mary, Kali, and such. 
The Nun advised us to have Faith. 
Faith is what tells our Ego to go away. It dispels all doubt within our mind and sets us on a course of greatness.

What course do you wish to follow?

To step out on a new venture. I sometimes struggle with my next step, regarding my spiritual journey, and this is where my Ego steps in. It states to me that I can not surely move forward, for I do not have the credentials to do so. I do not have a set foundation on what is to take place within my life. I am tied to my current job. I can not leave, for you will never make it on your own. 

I become stuck in the swamp of self pity. It is time for me to break out. Be Brave. Be strong. I must understand that I am unique in my gift. I can move forward and make profit from my gift. I can use my talent to do something that I love doing. Now it is time to invest in myself. I started to read other blogs and make my presence known. This is what I have to offer to the world. My light. My knowledge. My perception on life's journey. 

So, this is my example, on how to tell your Ego to get out of your way. Advise it that you are ready to be the great and wonderful person you were born to be. Tell it that you no longer require it's advice. Do something scary and out of the ordinary, or rather, trust that Source will lead you to the exact situation, that will propel you into inspiration. 

Blessed Be.
