Pāli Word a Day for October 15, 2017 — dhammapadaṃ — the path of dhamma, truth
Bahumpi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno,
na takkaro hoti naro pamatto,
gopova gāvo gaṇayaṃ paresaṃ,
na bhāgavā sāmaññassa hoti.
Much though one recites the sacred texts,
but acts not accordingly,
that heedless one is like a cowherd
who only counts the cows of others —
one does not partake of the blessings of the holy life.
Dhammapada 1.19
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
Can sound effect you on more than an emotional level? Sure it can. Sound has a whole level of usefulness that we’re only beginning to discover; from successfully helping us transcend the blood-brain barrier in the medical field, to the noise of certain street lamps putting us on edge, there’s a lot more going on than we really notice.

Things are looking up! Generally, people will respond to you with happiness, love and goodwill, more than usually in the near future. You ought to be feeling good about life in general. This is a great time to make friends. You feel the need to “give back” some of the love (Aloha!) that you have been given in life/that you are experiencing. This is also a connection to the divine … on a spiritual level, meditate on the idea that you are a beloved child of the Universe and feel the support that comes to you from “the other side”, as it is always there, all you have to do is look for it.
Even though numerous people are not aware of it, a mold may represent a grave problem in the house, and it can appear in multiple places, not just under the sink, in the basement, or at the shower curtain. It can be found on the roof, in drywall, on the objects in the bathroom, and […]

In the context of work,the King of Wands can indicate a man with hair on the lighter end of the spectrum who wants to serve as a mentor for you. This is a man who you can trust and can count on, although to a degree his people skills can be a bit rough around the edges. Learn what you can from him, but pay attention to the places where you wish to conduct yourself differently from the way he does things. Overall, things should be going well work-wise and if you’re looking for employment, the King is a very positive significator that a position that you’d be pleased with is likely to be forthcoming soon. You may discover a talent that you didn’t know you had which could lead to more money. If you have ever thought about starting your own business, this can indicate that this is a very good time to start taking steps. Not that you ought to leap headlong into something … if you’re not in that position yet, start where you are. Read, research, talk to others doing what you think you’d like to do. Don’t hesitate to dream big, however. Boldness has power in it.

Na hāraye harataṃ nānujaññā.
Sabbaṃ adinnaṃ parivajjayeyya.

anything from anywhere knowing it (to belong to another).

There will be times when you need to purchase a crystal, and given the great abundance of healing stones now available, it can be useful to have a system for choosing your crystals. You do not need to know the exact properties of every stone in […]
Nines signify earthly completion. That is, the most you can accomplish in this world in this here and now — as compared to the Tens, which are more spiritual completion. There’s a sense of accomplishment with the Nines, a sense of maturity to the suit and a feeling that something is coming to a conclusion. Reverse the Nines, however, and that conclusion is either put on hold, reversed, or derailed. The “wish” card is really about the completion of family and Earthly happiness. It is a card about feasting with friends and family, the comforts of good food, good drink, love, friendship, cheer. This is why it’s the “wish” card, because what more could anyone wish for? Reverse it, however, and you are not going to get what you wish. This is a card about a family (or friendship) falling apart; siblings, parents, friends and children are at best indifferent; at worst, they hate each other and want to cause each other misery and pain. There is vindictiveness and cruelty. Likely abuses, divorces, child custody cases and indulgences (alcoholism) and/or psychological problems. This might also signal a family coming apart; a family once close, having family gatherings, but disintegrating with each new generation until it’s not really a family at all.

A potion is a magical medicine, created from mixing ingredients. In mythology and literature, a potion is usually made by a magician, dragon, fairy or witch and has magical properties. It is used for various motives including the healing, bewitching or poisoning of people. For example, love potions for those who wish to fall in love (or become deeply infatuated) with another.
Here are a few recipes:
HOMEMADE HEALING LOTION
1/4 cup cocoa butter or shea butter
1/4 cup Comfrey and calendula infused olive oil (or just olive oil)

1/4 tsp vitamin e oil
15 drops lavender essential oil (I prefer to buy my essential oils here.)
Method
Mix the cocoa butter, olive oil and beeswax in a double boiler over low heat, until melted.
Pour the melted lotion into a glass jar (a mason jar works well) and allow to cool.
This Italian-style flourless chocolate cake has a crisp crust, a wonderful rich dark chocolate flavour and a light, moist, melt-in-the mouth centre. I prefer my cakes not too sweet so I reduced the sugar in this recipe which comes from one of my favourite cake books, Bake your cake & eat it too! by Tamara Millstein.
Preheat your oven to 180ºC (350ºF) and prepare a 22cm (8″) springform tin by greasing and lining the bottom with baking paper. In a heat-proof bowl over a bain marie, melt 350g (12⅓ oz) of good quality chocolate pieces and 100g (3½ oz) of chopped butter until smooth and glossy. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of dutch cocoa powder plus 1 tablespoon of instant coffee and set aside. In another bowl beat 5 large eggs with 220g (7¾ oz) of caster sugar until thick and pale. Add 5 tablespoons of ground walnuts and 100g (3½ oz)…

The New York Times article was written by Ronan Farrow the son of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow.

Change is happening and you have to look at big picture, not that inner voice inside you. Because that inner voice at this is just a Tasmaniac Devil that needs a nap. It’s your need to control the situation. Right now it seems unfair but when you go through the change. You’ll see it was a good idea or the blessing in the situation
♉TAURUS For some of you, you are able to put certain feelings about the past into better perspective. For some of you this is getting right to the heart of the matter things and helping others to heal. This can be mending…
For those of you who have been using the first version and are interested in the changes, here is a summary of them:
1. After calling the column of Light, you watch it moving down into the body of Earth, to ensure that you are being vertically connected downwards as well as upwards.
2. You open the Cosmic and Earth Star portals BEFORE sending your grounding cord down. This makes an amazing difference to peoples experience of grounding!
3. Men and women both send the grounding cord from the second chakra down through the root into the core crystal. My guidance is that this is now appropriate for both men and women as we integrate our inner divine masculine and feminine and become more like each other.
4. There is a new step – calling unconditional love from yourself to yourself to open the heart chakra.
5. You ask for the 12 strands of DNA and 12 chakras to be reconnected in the same command. This brings awareness to how the 2 processes are assisting each other in our reconnection.
6. Chanting OM NYALIMAN SHANTI is on a separate track, with more explanation on how to use the mantra effectively.
I call upon the Overlighting of Mother/Father God, and all the Illumined Beings of Light from On High that I personally acknowledge, as I now merge with my Beloved I Am Presence, the Highest aspect of my Soul Light within the Cosmic Heart of God. Within this sacred space, I enter into my Christed Heart of Divine Unconditional Love.
I now activate the Petals of my Christed Heart: my Peaceful Heart, my Loving Heart, my Healing Heart, my Joyful and Happy Heart, my Innocent and Open Heart, my Powerful Heart, my Knowing Heart, my Passionate Heart, my Overflowing and Prosperous Heart, my Trusting Heart, my Heart of Integrity and Truth, And now I enter into the Petal of my Intimate Heart.
Breathing deeply into my body, I acknowledge myself as this sacred transfiguring Flame of Divine Love and Master Being of Light. I Am an Open Heart in this Golden Age of Light. As I connect deeper now into my authentic loving Self, I allow myself to be vulnerable, trusting, and free of shame, letting go of judgment of self and others, and any fear of intimacy I may have. I Am a powerful, magnificent, sacred, sexual Being of Light. I Am All That I Am.
As the Petal of my Intimate Heart now activates, I deepen into the knowing that I am unique, immeasurable in my magnificence and Light. I let go of the need to hide my Light, to shield myself from others, or to compare myself with others. I choose to Love my Self, all parts of myself, which are uniquely and authentically mine. I Am All That I Am.
The Sirian Archangelic League of the Light now come forward, placing me in an Intimate Christed Heart Chamber of Light. As this multidimensional, multicolored laser light grid activates around my body and energy field, in a beautiful silver-gold grid of Light, I start to breathe more deeply into my body now. Expanding my lower abdomen on the in-breath, And contracting my lower abdomen on the out-breath. As I deepen into the Knowing of my Divinity, purity and innocence, I deepen into the presence of my Godself, In conscious awareness and Self-Love. I Am One with my Beloved I Am Presence, I Am One with Mother/Father God, I Am One with all Life. I Am All That I Am.
Aces always indicate new beginnings. Sometimes, this new beginning can be started by a separation of some kind — from a relationship, or a job situation. Know that as anxiety-producing as such a new beginning can sometimes be, that underneath it all is good, beneficial energy that is getting you where you want to go. Don’t be afraid to make a leap if it’s in your best interests. In short, bravery is called for. As the old adage goes, “feel the fear and do it anyway.” You have a good idea already of what must be done. The hard part is the doing of it. Start today. You may finally let go of a belief system which actually hasn’t worked for you for some time. Don’t beat yourself up if you find you had been holding some viewpoints and beliefs that you perhaps ought not have. Everyone makes mistakes or gets hold of the wrong end of the stick from time to time. You will find some spiritual truths that hold more promise for you and which are beneficial. Don’t hesitate to talk to others about what works for them on a spiritual level.
Thoughts that are terrifying and fearful arise. I can hold onto them, which can lead to physical dis-ease; or, I can let them go, which creates a healing response within.
