Determine how you would like your life to unfold and then get onboard with it, in every way possible. It does no good if you have a wish that you then are not prepared to plush out, the same way you would plush out, or furnish, a new home. Start with a wish or desire but don’t stop there! Participate fully in your wish by getting into positive alignment with it. If you do that, if you furnish it with all that you desire, then you have already created it. But the main key is to remain fully present to the process, with positive knowing that it will happen, that it is happening, that it has happened.
Give thanks for all that you have so far received and for all that is still to come. There is a never-ending supply of good, abundance, compassion and wealth from our side of the veil that we wish to impart. Too many people are in a negative mindset, which prohibits their receiving what we have in mind for them. Thus, they are stuck in old patterns. Learn to open your heart more frequently and more fully. Be strongly receptive to what comes to guide you through life in your everyday world, just as you strongly wish for connection with our world. For there are so many things pointing you in the right direction, though you often miss them. Ask for help in all the many ways you can, but don’t forget to then be receptive. For if you are not, our paths will not intercept in the ways that we all wish.
When life is overladen with heavy emotions, it’s similar to a ship overladen with cargo. Sooner or later the ship is going to tip over in rough seas and capsize. It is then, during a capsized state, that rescue can happen. Until then, the heavy-laden ship will lumber along, ignoring all the warnings and, in foolhardy optimism, race ahead. When the energy of life is steeped in heavy emotions, it is best to wait them out. Sooner or later, they will reach a tipping point. It is then that they will begin to spill out, and it is in that release that the good work of reconciliation will begin.
Balance, harmony and peace must always begin within. Each person on the planet must strive for the perfectly centered place of loving contentment that they know is possible. Every person on the planet has an opportunity to promote loving contentment by being the person that others look up to and wish to follow, not as a guru but as an example. Be a good example of loving contentment, every day, in your own life. It’s that simple.
Shame is like the all too familiar dream of being forced to use a completely exposed public toilet. The toilet might be in the midst of Grand Central Station. The toilet may be horrifically backed up. There may not even be a toilet seat, or anything other than a hole. But one thing is certain, you have to go, now, and, hence, you are totally exposed.
The dream is depicting the total loss of a coverup, the persona that knows how to dress up and hide imperfection. Nature forces us to remove that mask as we expose the state that we are truly in. And, of course, we are deeply unacceptable, seen for what we truly believe ourselves to be: imperfect, just plain ordinary or, of course, seriously flawed.
A great concert pianist just died, at age 99. Early on in his career he left the performance stage, so fearful was he of the public eye. Such is the noose of perfection that stifles the expression of one’s capabilities upon the world stage. And being alive means being upon that world stage.
Carlos Castaneda preached: “Suspend Judgment!” He poked fun at us, mercilessly, during workshops, that we might finally get over the human curse of our own self-importance.
When we were thrown out of Eden for the brashness of becoming conscious, we were exposed to our own nakedness and had to classify it. The conclusion: we were not enough, or too lustfully burdened. SHAME!
The Lust/Strength card, of the Crowley tarot deck, pictures a voluptuously naked woman, completely relaxed in her beingness, easily taming the beast around her. This is hardly about her sexuality.
No, this is her naked acceptance of herself and her passion to advance life in total fulfillment of her desire, without judgment.
This is about an intensity of strength that transcends confidence. It’s fully embracing, being, and reflecting, the true luster of Self.
