I received an email this morning from someone looking for a like minded metaphysical group.  I get so many questions like this, I am asking you to help me answer it.   The writer asks  “I am in the process of coming out of doing all my metaphysical and spiritual work and discovery solo and distance into needing to find a group that is also on a similar path in order to get into what I am here to do. I am not sure where to start. I was wondering what kind of groups we have here, maybe some involving incarnated elementals and earth angels. I myself and am an incarnated mer on a mission and am still trying to get into the groove of things. All of my contacts are distance and it’s time for me to come out of the woodwork and start actually working with like minded people. Do you have any information that may be relevant for the Brevard area? I am in Palm Bay.”

I know there are a lot of groups going on, but unless they advertise in Horizons Magazine (plug – the calendar of events is just 30c per word!), there are too many to keep track of and they are ever changing.

The Elements

I’m in my new sitting room drinking hot ginger tea and watching two little brown bunnies having breakfast in the back yard.  I’d gotten up early and was going to drive to the beach for a surf check, then opened the garage door and was reminded my Toyota Prius got towed yesterday.   Saturday I had quite the adventure with it not starting.  I was going to go banjo shopping with Bryan Tilford and I put the key in the ignition and… nothing.  It was like a dream sequence where you do all the right things but nothing works as it should.  I checked with Byran and he assured me I was awake.

I didn’t realize Sarah Silverman was such a chanteuse.  Last night I heared her sing “Did you ever take drugs so you can have sex without crying” on her tasteful as always comedy special on Showtime — this one entitled “Jesus is Magic.”  She’s a nice Jewish girl who is an equal opportunity offender.   She mentions being raped by a doctor “kind of bittersweet for a Jewish girl, really…”  Offensive or not, she’s found a way to acknowledge she’s had a challenging life and make the best of it in her own way.  Ah, it’s all grist for the mill, isn’t it?  A good yogi knows that.  And so does a good comedian.

What I should have done yesterday was update my mailing labels, print them out, order office supplies, update bookkeeping on the new program, coordinate my drivers for Friday’s magazine delivery, do my post office paperwork for Friday’s mailing, return calls, and begin to get the second quarter financials together for my tax chick.  What I did instead of office work was work in my yard.  I pulled out a rotting 4×4 post and put in a fresh one, then created a fence of cut bamboo alongside the east side of the driveway.  I cut about a dozen palmetto fronds out of the pathway into the east garden and wove them into the bamboo fence to give privacy as I watch the street.  Now I can sit on the wrought iron chair behind the fronds and be fairly hidden, yet still get the breeze as it comes through.   Within minutes of me putting the area up and sitting to check it out, a pair of pilated woodpeckers and two baby cardinals landed within inches of my face.  Nice hiding place!

A friend recently got married.  I wrote to her, “When we did a reading last year or whenever it was, what did I say about you getting married? I seem to recall I saw it within 3 years but not sure what year I said it.  Just wondering, please tell me your recollection.”  I don’t always keep track of the predictions I see, I depend on whoever they are for to to keep track of them.   She wrote back  “Yep.  You said I would be married before 2012.  You also said the guy had a picture of himself on a motorcycle. You also offered your condolences.”  I laughed.   The condolences part is because I’m not a fan of marriage — we didn’t know who her partner would be at the time of the reading.

Know it deeply within yourself that what you do matters in a huge way, whether you perceive anyone else knows it or not.    Playing small does a disservice to everyone; honor those who see your light by seeing it as well.

You have the ability to pivot under any and all conditions. The fastest path to the joy you seek is for you to take your pivot as you sleep. By reaching for good-feeling thoughts before you go to sleep and then experiencing the benefit of the quiet mind that occurs while you sleep—and then upon awakening, immediately turning to good-feeling thoughts—you can accomplish the ultimate Pivoting experience.  Abraham-Hicks

Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Nationalism can be a dangerous slippery slope. We are citizens of the world. I pledge allegiance to the world. To cherish every living thing, to care for earth and sea and air, with peace and freedom everywhere!  April Nall
