Pāli Word a Day for May 31, 2019 — nibbhaya — free from fear or danger, fearless, unafraid

Icchāya bajjhatī loko.
Icchāvinayāya muccati.
Icchāya vippahānena
sabbaṃ chindati bandhanaṃ.

With desire the world is tied down.
With the subduing of desire it’s freed.
With the abandoning of desire       
all bonds are cut through.

2019 Gemini New Moon begins Horse Month

Susan Levitt

June 3 2019 is a new Moon in Gemini. Air sign Gemini rules the third house of communication, intellect, and ideas. The Sun, new Moon, and Mercury are all in Gemini bringing inspiration for new concepts and plans to put into action this month. Travel, especially short trips, is fortunate to expand your horizons.

This new Moon begins month of the Metal Horse, the powerful war Horse. Metal Horse is focused and can leap over obstacles. There’s not a split between mind and emotions with determined Metal Horse in charge.

The Sun and new Moon are opposite Jupiter in Sagittarius. This is a transit of courage, with a drive for freedom, fast change, and action — all natural Horse traits. But people can overextend, and grandiose plans can run away like a wild Horse if there is lack of accountability.

The Sun, new Moon, and Jupiter square Neptune in…

Be Present and Aware | Let The Past Remain In Your Past

“In motion be like water, in stillness like a mirror, in responding like an echo. Vague and ambiguous, as if not really there! Still and quiet, like something transparent and clear! To merge with it is to form a harmony, but to try to gain something from it is to lose it.” . — #Zhuangzi

It’s time to STOP using the past to justify faulty behaviors and to instead START using the lessons to be a better version of you for yourself and for the collective.

We get so caught up in holding on to resentment from past experiences that we don’t think enough about the chain of negativity we are promoting by doing so.

When we are allowing something from our past to inspire a present negative mindset, that negative mindset influences how we respond to our surroundings which includes how we respond to other people.

By choosing to have a negative perception in the present moment, we make ourselves more susceptible to experience situations that would affect us negatively. How? Because we are transmitting a frequency from that negative perception that attracts more of those similar situations and experiences that we were already resenting from the past.

This is a basis of the Law of Attraction.

By focusing the feelings of the past into our present state of consciousness, we manifest situations that will validate those feelings to us for the present moment.

This becomes what I call a frequency loop. In other words, it becomes a cycle. This is why some people feel they can “never get a break”. They are (more than likely) unconsciously attracting what they don’t want by simply keeping their attention on what they previously didn’t like. It’s even worse when this is done consciously, because consciously we are 100% responsible for everything that “happens” to us from how we respond to life.

If you are reading this and you feel you are stuck in this frequency loop, there is good news – YOU have a CHOICE.

No, the whole world doesn’t have to know anything, so there’s no need to feel shame from admitting if you’re stuck in this loop. Only you know deep down where you are in your level of awareness and what your options are based on the available choices in each moment, it is all just a matter of self-honesty.

If you know that you are consciously projecting out faulty behaviors to innocent people, you have every available moment of Now to choose otherwise.

Yes, many of us have horribly traumatic experiences. Yes, we might feel undeserving of many situations. But you must remember that it is not life’s fault. You must remember that there are thousands and millions of people around you that also have had horrible experiences, many that you will have no idea about, they are innocent and undeserving of your faulty behavior even if you feel it is justified from previous experiences with others. Deep down, you know this.

It’s time to STOP using the past to justify faulty behaviors and to instead START using the lessons to be a better version of you for yourself and for the collective.

What serves you serves the collective, and what serves the collective serves you even more.

What I try to do at the beginning of each day is ask myself some questions.

The questions I ask myself are usually as follows:

Am I holding on to anything right now?

If so, how can I use the lesson to serve my higher purpose today?

How am I going to be of service for the collective today?

You don’t have to ask yourself the exact same questions, but it may help to have some sort of internal dialogue planning out what type of mindset you are choosing and what you hope to attract for that day.

Something I like to do in the evenings is to take a few moments and evaluate my day.

A question and statement I usually say to myself before going to sleep are as follows:

Am I holding on to anything from the day?

If so, what is the lesson to learn so that I can have a restful night?

No matter the conclusion, there is absolutely nothing else that can be done on that day, so it is imperative that you release the attachment to any situation from that day so that you can have a restful night to inspire a better tomorrow.

It’s time to STOP using the past to justify faulty behaviors and to instead START using the lessons to be a better version of you for yourself and for the collective.

What serves you serves the collective, and what serves the collective serves you even more.

What do you CHOOSE today?

This piece is an original written by me, inspired by my experiences and my Higher Self. Thank you so much for taking your time out to read this. As always, any objections, additions, criticisms or opinions are welcome to be expressed and I look forward to any commentary that you may have.

I wish you all much love and peace on your life journeys. 🙏❤️🙏

Pāli Word a Day for May 29, 2019 — cariya — conduct, behavior, state of, life

Kodhaṃ chetvā sukhaṃ seti.
Kodhaṃ chetvā na socati.
Kodhassa visamūlassa, madhuraggassa devate
vadhaṃ ariyā pasaṃsanti,
tañhi chetvā na socatī.

Having killed anger you sleep in ease.
Having killed anger you do not grieve.
The noble ones praise the slaying of anger
— with its honeyed crest & poison root —
for having killed it you do not grieve.

Saṃyutta Nikāya 1.71
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Trust The Process

I’m sure you’ve experienced moments where you questioned where a certain situation was taking you, but now and or soon you’ll find out and understand why. It’s all coming in full circle. Every single moment had to happen the way it did. There’s no coincidence or random situations. It’s all divinely orchestrated and perfect! This is why you can’t worry or overthink what you can’t understand. It has a purpose that will soon reveal itself to you. Just yourself. Be very patient. Follow your heart. Soon you’ll be celebrating something major. Start counting your blessings now and thanking the power of the source of life that supports and loves you. Be ready for many a-ha moments! It’s all happening now.

Card of the Day – The Hermit – Wednesday, May 29, 2019

Tarot by Cecelia

Hermit mode is not necessarily achievable by all on a Wednesday, but a little time out may be in order. Mercury is very busy today, so thought and communication will rule the day, especially thought. This is the perfect opportunity to set aside a few minutes for yourself to keep up with these thoughts. After all, thoughts are things. Do you understand? Or do you need more time to digest all that is happening and to process them better?

Today is a good day, while you are thinking, to consider your goals for the coming months. You may wish to tweak them a bit after a careful review.

See you here tomorrow!

What you say, not what how you say it

TAROFLEXIONS

‘It’s not what you say but how you say it that matters,’ they say, and I’m not sure about what is presupposed here: That we prefer feeling good to the truth? – I presuppose myself now that we’re dealing with truth not with an abusive situation in this case.

I often think of this, especially since my whole career is built on teaching.

I’ve written lately about how I prefer the sword to the cup, but as I was going through some old student material, I pondered on my own consistency. I never appeal to feeling. I appeal to cognition and the capacity a student has to see precisely where I’m going. That’s the aim. Feeling doesn’t interest me in the slightest, as I see no reason to treat feeling as if it has any substance whatsoever. It doesn’t.

Cognition, on the other
hand, leads to clarity when time is…

Pāli Word a Day for May 29, 2019 — pāvaka — pure, bright, clear, shining

Attānañce piyaṃ jaññā
na naṃ pāpena saṃyuje,
na hi taṃ sulabhaṃ hoti
sukhaṃ dukkaṭakārinā.

If you hold yourself dear
then don’t fetter yourself with evil,
for happiness isn’t easily gained
by one who commits a wrong-doing.

Saṃyutta Nikāya 1.115
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Hauʻōli aloha Pōʻakōlu

Aloha a me kā maikāʻi ʻo kā kākahiāka, ī nā mea a pau ʻīa ōukōu kānaka a maikāʻi. Kākōu nō ma kā hānā hebedoma hapalua ʻāla. Mālāma nēʻe ʻīmua, hula manāwa ʻūa ʻāneane ʻanēʻi. Ī kā maikāʻi ʻo kā lā. Nūi ke aloha.

Hello and good morning to all you good people.  We are half way through the work week.  Keep moving forward, play time is almost here.  Have a beautiful day.

Esoterica | Language of the Mysteries


“The learned may penetrate into the significance of all oriental mysteries, but the vulgar can only see the exterior symbol. It is allowed by all who have any knowledge of the scriptures that everything is conveyed enigmatically, i.e. esoterically.”
— Origen of Alexandria (185—254 C.E.)

“When the human race learns to read the language of symbolism, a great veil will fall from the eyes of men. They shall then know truth and, more than that, they shall realize that from the beginning truth has been in the world unrecognized, save by a small but gradually increasing number appointed by the Lords of the Dawn as ministers to the needs of human creatures struggling to regain their consciousness of divinity.”
— Manly P. Hall, Melchizedek and the Mystery of Fire

“In all esoteric traditions, the most important inner instructions are always transmitted in symbolic language, thus veiling the sacred from the eyes of the profane. At the same time, the unveiling of the instructions offers a method for training the disciple’s understanding.” — Raul Branco, The Pistis Sophia, An Introduction

“There is a thinking in primordial images, in symbols which are older than the historical man, which are inborn in him from the earliest times, eternally living, outlasting all generations, still make up the groundwork of the human psyche. It is only possible to live the fullest life when we are in harmony with these symbols; wisdom is a return to them.” — Carl Jung

No photo description available.

“Symbolism is the language of the Mysteries; in fact it is the language not only of mysticism and philosophy but of all Nature, for every law and power active in universal procedure is manifested to the limited sense perceptions of man through the medium of symbol. Every form existing in the diversified sphere of being is symbolic of the divine activity by which it is produced. By symbols men have ever sought to communicate to each other those thoughts which transcend the limitations of language. Rejecting man-conceived dialects as inadequate and unworthy to perpetuate divine ideas, the Mysteries thus chose symbolism as a more ingenious and ideal method of preserving their transcendental knowledge. In a single figure a symbol may both reveal and conceal, for to the wise the subject of the symbol is obvious, while to the ignorant the figure remains inscrutable. Hence, he who seeks to unveil the secret doctrine of antiquity must search for that doctrine not upon the open pages of books which might fall into the hands of the unworthy but in the place where it was originally concealed.”
— Manly P. Hall

Oh hell yes pictures tell stories…

But human beings, namely the Witchy sort, tell them, too.

Lots of them, and while I will not ever outright call anyone who Practices this beautiful Craft to be…getting ahead of themselves… I will boldly state, right now, that if you are practicing, or learning to practice, or learned to practice for the purpose of “Magicking” your lifeʻs ills and struggles away?

Stop trying, right now.

In fact, go put the broom back into the closet, throw your crystals out into the garden where you have planted all of those beautifully witchy sounding flowers and herbs, go fill up the  bathtub, put some Pink Salt in it, get your ass in there, and please do us all the favor of washing the ego off…today…

IF you are out in this world teaching people who need to know what you know, in terms of…

Card of the Day – King of Cups – Tuesday, May 28, 2019

Tarot by Cecelia

My favorite guy of all shows up today, more as a reminder than anything else.  His most endearing qualities, his kindness, compassion, gentle nature, generosity, and intuition, just to name a few, may be a bit harder to come by under the Aries Moon.  As a trait, diplomacy is not a strong suit of Aries, so diplomacy itself may feel as if it is in short supply.

There are a couple of applicable Memes/quotes which you should keep in mind as you go about your day:  “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”  And “Before you speak, think:

T = Is it True?

H = Is it Helpful?

I = Is it Inspiring?

N = Is it necessary?

K = Is it Kind?

Remember, you can not change what others say and do, but you can maintain control over your own reactions and…
