Daily Words of the Buddha for April 22, 2017
Yathā agāraṃ ducchannaṃ vuṭṭhī samativijjhati,
evaṃ abhāvitaṃ cittaṃ rāgo samativijjhati.
Just as rain breaks through an ill-thatched house,
so passion penetrates an undeveloped mind.
Dhammapada 1.13

Tarot Contemplation – Ten of Swords
When the 10 of Swords appears, it is likely that the situation has become as bad as it possibly can. This is rock bottom and enough is enough. There is nowhere to go but up. This card represents someone who has a great amount of self-pity, who feels like a martyr — like they’ve made huge sacrifices for others and received nothing in return. If this is you, ask yourself what you gain by feeling like this. Is feeling sorry for yourself helping you move forward? If not, pick yourself up and get on with life. Take the lessons you’ve learned with you so you don’t make the same mistakes again.

Recently, there has been a lot of hype about The Law of Attraction. People are writing about it as though it is something new, however, this is not the case. The Law of Attraction and all other universal laws have existed since the beginning of time. The creation of all that is, our entire existence, is governed by subtle laws that exist in the universe. We cannot see them however we know that they are present. …

dwelling in wrong thoughts,
never arrive at the essential.

Tarot Contemplation – Two of Swords (reversed)
The Two of Swords reversed could mean making a decision based on our emotions or using faulty logic. You may feel emotionally pressured to make a decision or take action, and do so against your own best judgment. You may have ideas about what is right in a situation, but keep quiet so as not to make things complicated for yourself. This card could also appear when you are giving someone the silent treatment in order to manipulate their feelings or behavior. Ask yourself if you are really being fair in this relationship, or if you are only acting in your own interest.

Tarot Contemplation – Ace of Pentacles
One is the seed that holds the potential for new growth. One is the starting point, or the presentation of an opportunity. One represents the masculine principle of creation. The energy of the one must be acted upon in order for growth to occur. One is the number of the Root Chakra, which is the foundation of the system. This card presents an opportunity for real, concrete growth. It can be a healthy beginning in a new project … a chance to improve your health … a gift that you can use for further gain … money that you can invest in your future … a new job opportunity, or a chance for promotion … or even a good time to start a garden or begin improving your home. This is a time to strengthen your roots, to ground and center your body and to begin building the foundation for the future. Spend time in nature. You will find fresh inspiration there. Like all Aces, this is a seed that must be nurtured in order for it come to fruition. Don’t overlook this gift you are being given.

Spirit Science: First evidence for higher state of consciousness found
Researchers have uncovered the first scientific evidence of a ‘higher’ state of consciousness.
In the study, neuroscientists observed a sustained increase in the diversity of brain signals of people under the influence of psychedelic drugs, compared with when they were in a normal ‘awake and aware’ state.
This measure of the complexity of brain activity – called neural signal diversity – provides an index of the level of someone’s consciousness. …
