Am I surprised that someone who professes to know how it all works now pretends to not know how they continue to attract that? No. That’s the unconscious personality, professing to know it all. Now begins the integration, since life is starting to get real. When the pendulum swings again, the soul will seek forgiveness. The personality will again express itself as the humble and kind and sensitive, caring one, instead of merely the initial facade of that. It will have a new opportunity to make it right. With everyone. I have no doubts. It’s hidden right now but still inside, awaiting birth, awaiting forgiveness, awaiting recognition. Patience.

Singing that old song is doing you more harm than good
Uh oh, it would appear Chicken Little has caused the sky to fall on her own head… She might consider singing a new song, a song of happy times to come.
A primal meditation sitting in the pouring rain
I wrapped up in a sheet and sat in the pouring rain last night in the backyard. It had been raining off and on, short spells of pouring. I was reminded of a powerful waterfall meditation I’d had once at a retreat, so I prepared for it. I pulled a bedsheet out of the closet and wrapped it around me like a cloak. I went out into the backyard and found a grassy spot to sit on. The skies were cloudy, no moon in sight at 9:30 pm. It was about 77 degrees. I began by preparing myself by breathing rhythmically. Within a few moments, a downpour hit and I could feel it pummel down on me. I had the sheet over my head as well, but within a moment I was soaked through. I’d prepared myself for the chill by doing yogic fire breaths. Continue reading

Wheels: Be not jealous when the squeaky one gets the grease
Betty is feeling slighted. She’s been a friend and co-meditator for 20 years. We get together as often as possible to sit together, with or without others. It’s not a very social group. We sit silently for an hour, then get back into our day. We don’t use the time to chitchat. Lately, Domino has joined the group. She’s young, newly learning and has many questions. Betty feels Domino is getting all the personal attention. She feels Domino is the teacher’s pet now, she says, and that Betty, the years long loyal friend, is now old hat and kicked to the curb. I had to laugh. I count Betty as one of my longtime best friends. Domino, at the learning stage, has many questions and I live to help people move through that. I wrote about it here: Kundalini Management 101 or how to regulate new energy coming alive when undergoing a personal transformation. I told Betty that her reaction to Domino’s arrival on the scene was giving her an opportunity to bring up and clear up past issues. And ya gotta celebrate everyone who helps you do that. So, wheels, be not jealous when the squeaky one gets the grease. They need it more than you do. Honor their place on the Path as the wheels turn.
Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. — Paul Boese
You only feel competitive if you are disconnected from your inner guidance
His piece of the pie is bigger than mine – wah! The illusion of Competition. That’s been the topic this week during readings. No wonder today’s Tarot Card of The Day was the 5 of Wands, about feeling competitive. What experience has taught me is there is enough for everyone, and we each attract according to right of consciousness: our expectation and belief about how much of anything we think is available to us. And it’s all related, everything. He advertises more? So what! No one can take anything from you for long. If you’re all caught up in the world of emotions, you’re operating on an astral level. The astral level is where a lot of illusion lies. As we raise in consciousness, we rise above the astral level so that truths are less and less clouded by illusion. As we meditate, we are no longer driven by our emotions, we can distance ourselves emotionally from the situation. When we can view the situation objectively, we see there is never any competition. What anyone else does doesn’t matter, unless you think it does. Again, your expectation and belief governs what you attract. Continue reading

Do not fear facing your own soul, you are strong enough
There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. ~Carl Jung
