Do opposites attract? Or should you look for a partner who is just like you?
Romantic relationships are a vital part of our lives, so it makes sense that we’d want to maximize our chance of finding the best possible life partner. But is there a way to use science and psychology to give us an edge? Many people feel that the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) is a tool to figure this out. […]

It seems that the most logical thing in the world to believe is that the natural resources of the Earth, upon which the race depends on for food, clothing and shelter, should be owned collectively by the race instead of being the private property of a few social parasites. — Ralph Chaplin
Santaṃ tassa manaṃ hoti, santā vācā,
ca kamma ca, sammadaññā,
vimuttassa, upasantassa tādino.
Calm is one’s thought, calm one’s speech,
and calm one’s deed, who, truly knowing,
is wholly freed, perfectly tranquil and wise.
Dhammapada 7.96

Welina mai e nā hoa ē a hau’ōli alōha Po’akolu! Ō kā maluhia no me oe.
Warmest greetings to you, Friends, and a happy aloha Wednesday! Peace be with you.
What an appropriate card for today! Our Queen of Pentacles, a/k/a Queen of Earth, is here to keep you in grounded practical mode today. She is the proverbial nurturer, a provider, not just in the financial realm, but in life’s comforts as well. She does not need to be rich to wield her power, for it comes through her hard work and ambition to be secure.
Today, we have no less than three energies in the earth sign of Capricorn. Retrograde Mars, retrograde Saturn, and the Moon, are all hanging out here. There is a tendency to want to get things done, perhaps tie up a few loose ends, and taking the projects at hand seriously in order to see them through to completion. Use all of this grounded energy which the Universe is providing to see to it that the job gets done right. You’ll be glad you did.

Hello Luminaries
Reality is literally an expression of consciousness coming to life.
From its birth, each manifestation is constantly growing in an upward trajectory.
Because of its ever-evolving nature, along with a growing sense of self-awareness throughout the tapestry of time and space, we refer to everything as a creative expression of source energy.
That which lives as an expression of Source (or creative energy) manifests the creative energy of Source in those who view it.
One of the first levels of creative expression is how creatively someone imagines changing the landscape of perceptions in view.
This occurs through the formation of an opinion. As opinions get formed, one decides how they feel about the things in view, unaware how their feeling is not due to what exists to be seen, but reflective in the quality of how they choose to see it.
Instead of thinking of criticism as a personal attack, rest in knowing it is your creative energy, whether expressed simply in your existence, or
reflected in the artistry of your creation that inspires a greater wellspring of creativity in others.
As creative energy matures, each of us is able to spontaneously pull inspiration out of the ethers. This occurs without projecting our need for change onto the perfection of existing creations, in order to express the artistry of our aliveness.
“As creative energy matures, each of us is able to spontaneously pull inspiration out of the ethers.”
From this space, the upside of criticism occurs in recognizing that while others may critique your existence, they are merely in the process of cultivating a deeper inner awareness; preparing to bring out the inner artist waiting to be born in their heart.
Those who criticize may not know their criticism as a crucial rite of passage along the journey of awakening. It might just be mindless projections keeping at bay the potential for intimate connections where one has more to lose in being open and vulnerable when hiding behind the mask of ego.
No matter how cold-hearted or mean-spirited others seem to be, as long as you know the deeper inner workings that occur, you are less likely to judge and condemn those whose evolving creative energy is internally fighting for a more expanded way to see their world in view.
May all be met with patience, tolerance, and compassion with respect to the evolving artist in every heart — no matter how often they use their creativity to limit themselves by how often they ridicule another.
May all be healed by the light of love, so our creative energy may be used consciously for the greater good of all.
All For Love,
Matt Kahn
While you have the free will to choose, it is possible that, at the time of the Sun entering Virgo, you remain undecided how to take charge of a situation. This can either be due to fear on your part of the unknown, or a lack of clarity which lingers as a result of Mercury shadow and some continuing retrogrades. There may be questions as to laws and authority as to whether you should circumvent a few rules in order to achieve your goals, or whether you should follow them and just continue working behind the scenes as you await your new beginnings.
Keep giving everything its necessary attention, but be mindful of your own needs as well. As the Universe prepares to push you forward toward your hopes and dreams like a slingshot over the next four weeks, it is important to have come to terms with what you…

Sabbattha ve sappurisā cajanti.
Na kāmakāmā lapayanti santo.
Sukhena phuṭṭhā atha vā dukhena

The good renounce (attachment for) everything.
The virtuous do not prattle with a yearning for pleasures.
The wise show no elation or depression
when touched by happiness or sorrow.

Hauʻōli Pō’alua a pau. Ē ʻano keīa ʻano, a me kaukau aloha i kekāhi i keīa lā. Loāʻa he nūi lā.
Happy Tuesday all. Be kind and loving towards someone today. Have a great day.
What a perfect Emperor card with which to close out the Sun in Leo! As the Sun winds up its last two days in its home sign, there is no doubt that you are excited to see some new energy in town. The Cancer and Leo stints have been tough with the Eclipses and retrogrades, so by now you are ready for something new.
The Emperor is the father figure, authority figure, protector, solid-as-a-rock, unwilling to budge, and you can probably think of a person or two who fits the bill. He is also your stable foundation. You have worked for a long time to get to this point. Many of you suffered at least one serious implosion in life, which left you picking up the pieces and cleaning away the debris from a life which is only a memory now. So, if the Emperor is your new, better-than-ever, solid…

The life-threatening bacteria called MRSA can cripple a hospital since it spreads quickly and is resistant to treatment. But scientists report that they are now making advances in a new technique that avoids antibiotics. Instead, they are using light to activate oxygen, which then wipes out antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The method also could be used to treat other microbial infections, and possibly even cancer. […]
Dr. Somé proposes that what we call depression, bi-polar, psychosis and schizophrenia may perhaps be a remarkable transformation in consciousness and an inevitable step towards human development. […]

When I began this blog, the Wheel of Fortune was the last card to show up, and, to this day, it is still the least frequent to be seen. It is also, hands down, the most popular. We haven’t seen it since February, most notably the day after the Aquarius Solar Eclipse; therein lies some sort of connection, but by no means coincidence. The Wheel is beginning to turn the other way, my friends.
The Wheel of Fortune is yes, about fortune, but so much more than that; words such as good luck, karma, fate, and destiny are among its claim to fame. The Wheel turns differently for each of us, but with Mercury newly direct as of yesterday, and gradually picking up speed, you can expect to see things on the move. Watch for signs of karmic events, even though they may not all be yours, they could indeed…

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm,
even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

We have many special days and many days which we call ‘gateways’ so what makes today maybe a little more special to any other?
I have been writing articles and channeling work that is based on the following of specific opening of gateways which I will put below this article for you to read and also connect the dots. When you read each one you will see the pattern or the ‘story’ of how the divine plan is revealing itself on Earth by mirroring the above for it is the above that is the map that tells us what is happening in our conscious on our planet.

Every now and then we have an Aha! moment where the purpose of life and the meanings in the universe seem to align. Manu Meyer has one of these moments and in this video, she hands us the seed, the kernel, the ‘aloha’ of that moment. We are all individuals, and yet, we are all one. We must separate the knowledge we learn in schools from the knowledge that we all share in our combined historic experiences. Please join her and share in this introduction to that ‘Aloha’ moment.
Aloha kākahiāka kākōu a hauʻōli aloha Lāʻpule. Mahele kōu makana kā aloha ʻīa āpau. Ō kā maluhīa nō me ʻoe.
Good morning to you all and Happy Aloha Sunday. Share your gift of aloha with all. Peace be with you.

he does so out of compassion,

Yes, being sleepy all the time might make you grumpy. But new research suggests the social effects of sleep deprivation go way beyond just a pouty attitude in the morning: Losing sleep is actually making you feel lonely—and might even be quietly pushing people away from you. Yet another reason to prioritize shut-eye. […]
