Pāli Word a Day for March 07, 2019 — mutti — freedom, release, liberation

Pāṇaṃ na hane na ca ghātayeyya,
na cānujaññā hanataṃ paresaṃ,
sabbesu bhūtesu nidhāya daṇḍaṃ.
Ye thāvarā ye ca tasā santi loke.

One should not kill a living being,
nor cause it to be killed,
nor should one incite another to kill.
Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.

Card of the Day – Queen of Swords – Wednesday, March 6, 2019

New Moon blessings, everyone!  Today is the New Moon occurring at 15° Pisces, a positive New Moon indeed, but there is so much more happening.  Mercury retrograded yesterday at 29° Pisces, surely putting the old fog machine on HIGH, so you will have to go back over a few things before your new beginning can begin.  Early today, a few hours before the New Moon, Uranus, planet of shock and surprise, left Aries to take up residence in Taurus until April 26, 2026.

So, who else picked up on our Queen of Swords showing up exactly on the New Moon?  She is beautiful, but perhaps a bit temperamental.  Don’t poke the bear; New Moons have a way of bringing out razor-sharp tongues, and once those words are out there, they are impossible to retrieve.  Normally, she possesses the mental acuity and determination to make things happen, but all of this…

I never want to be seen as an equal to settler society.

indigenousmotherhood's avatarindigenous motherhood

I never want to be seen as an equal to settler society.

Nor do I ever want to be seen as an equal in the eyes of the colonizer.

And I never want to be seen as “successful” within colonial systems.

It started when I was young.

It was lurking in the beginning stages of public speaking, of meeting with ministers, of being groomed in this space of false indigeniety to achieve colonial success.

It was intertwined in the statements of “you are going to be the next Prime Minister of Canada!” And the “you are so resilient. This is your line of work!”

I would sit there and melt into this feeling of success. These feelings of “I’m gonna do something big with my life.”

The feelings of “I am destined for greatness.”

But the greatness I thought I was destined for was only colonial greatness.

These colonial systems…

Pisces is the last in the circle of 12 signs of the Zodiac. All circles are infinite and have no beginning and no end.  

All New Moons mark the beginning of a new cycle as the moon disappears for 2.1/2 days. This is a very powerful New Moon to set new intentions with and to release the past for many reasons. Pisces represents the end of life and the return to the source from where we came. It is a sign or release, of letting go, of forgiveness and compassion and releasing from the physical world to join with our ancestors. Pisces is the completion of our human journey and now we have to deal with whatever karma we have experienced and accumulated in our lifetime and to prepare for the next soul adventures.

Pāli Word a Day for March 06, 2019 — passaddhi — calm, tranquility

Idha socati pecca socati;
pāpakārī ubhayattha socati.
So socati so vihaññati,

The evil-doer grieves here and hereafter;
one grieves in both the worlds.
One laments and is afflicted,

2019 PISCES NEW MOON begins RABBIT MONTH

Susan Levitt's avatarSusan Levitt

MERCURY RETROGRADE

From March 5 to March 28, communication planet Mercury is retrograde in Water sign Pisces.
People communicate through their emotions. Impressions are strong, but not always clearly conveyed. If there are miscommunications, wait out the Mercury retrograde cycle to discuss it.

Apply the usual Mercury retrograde precautions such as allowing extra time for travel, driving slowly and carefully, and backing up important technology files.

FIRE RABBIT Month March 6 – April 4

March 6 is a new Moon in Pisces. The new Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Neptune are all in Pisces. This planetary stellium can inspire dreams and ideas about new goals. People are guided by their emotions, and have increased sensitivity to their surroundings. You can succeed by following your hunches, and being receptive to the feelings of others. Some dreams can become reality as Mars in Taurus trines Saturn in Capricorn, bringing inspirational concepts down to…

Card of the Day – Judgement – Tuesday, March 5, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

This is a pretty perfect card for today when you consider everything that is happening right now. Mercury, at 29° Pisces, retrogrades today through the 28th, Uranus, at 29° Aries, moves into Taurus tomorrow, and Chiron is at 0° Aries. We have some huge endings going on, ready to bring forth new beginnings.

When we look at the Judgement card, we typically see souls rising up, as an angel blows a trumpet. Important life moments are taking place now; your judgment at this point is critical. What are you being called to do? Answering a calling and making such choices very often lead one to a rebirth. Mercury will be leaving shadow on April 16, then entering Aries on the 17th. You will have clarity then and an understanding of this phase and why you were called upon for this judgment to be made.

See you here tomorrow!

Since i started studying herbalism 4 years ago, I have felt my in urge to get back on track with my spiritualism, Now i know that may sound strange to some. But 12 years ago, I was a reiki healer, tarot reader and spiritualist, but when my youngest was born 16 weeks premature, i turned it all off to focus on her, now again, i can hear you stay, but isn’t that the time you needed it the most, and yes you are probably right, but for me, i found my spiritualism distracted me from helping her, because i still had the demand from other people, and my head wasn’t in the game, and when i explained to one lady, that i couldn’t do her reading she got angry with me, so i thought NO, i cant do this, so i walked away from the whole thing, don’t get me…

THC kills cancer cells by mitochondria stop producing energy.
There are many new and old research related to cannabis and cancer treatment. And, perhaps equally important, the medical community is now ready to listen to cancer patients and describe how well cannabis treats their symptoms. There may be an added benefit of using cannabis during cancer treatment because THC kills cancer cells. Studies in laboratory and animal models show that THC is an effective killer.  […]

How The US Has Systematically Destroyed Hawaiian Culture For 240 Years

Many associate Aloha shirts, hula dancing, and surfing with Hawaiian culture. Beloved by many around the globe, the paradisiacal islands exude romance and relaxation. However, the story of how America acquired Hawaii is much less pristine than the sparkling oceans and beaches on postcards and travel brochures. Struggle and oppression fill Hawaii’s history, as the United States forced the islands into becoming US territory. Much like the Native American Trail of Tears, the story of how Hawaii became a state brims with hostile takeovers, as well as displaced and mistreated Native inhabitants.  […]

Card of the Day – 7 of Wands – Monday, March 4, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Standing strong in the face of the winds of change; the 7 of Wands is our don’t back down card, prompting you to stand your ground. This seems easier said than done, considering this is the biggest week of the year, but sheer determination and resolve can accomplish quite a bit.

So, what type of energies are you facing this week? First up, the retrograde-free wave you have been riding since January 7 crashes, giving way to the first retrograde of 2019, with none other than the little trickster himself doing his backward dance. Mercury will retrograde tomorrow through the 28th, starting out at 29° Pisces, the end of the end. Apparently, the Universe wants you to go back over a few things before you arrive at the actual end. This is followed on the 6th as disruptive Uranus comes into Taurus with a bang, to stay until April 26…

Energy Update || Week of March 4, 2019, with Matt Khan

Did that title get your attention? It certainly did get mine when I received the download this morning. It actually made me laugh. I hope you at least chuckled, whether realizing the gravity of truth that rests behind such a response or not. As we explore this, may laughter and light-heartedness be our guide, which is more helpful a tool than most degrees of intense spiritual seeking. No matter how deeply our existential fact-finding mission takes us, the true holistic benefits of our soul’s evolution begin to dawn as we dare to come back into our bodies and anchor our light into physical form.

In order to realize the Absolute truth of reality, the Absolute must be seen as no big deal. Otherwise, you are likely to blame a lack of Universal Awareness as the reason why the things you want appear far away, while the things you never wished for seem so up close and personal.

The reason why the things you want aren’t here yet is so simple, it has the potential to throw you off your chair in a fit of laughter.

Why aren’t things the way you want them to be? It simply is not time for them to occur.

What is or what isn’t is solely a journey of being in harmony with time, while having absolutely nothing to do with how universally aware you seem to be. Equally so, it’s not as if things aren’t going your way because you aren’t in harmony with time. That would make life a cruel game of reward and punishment. While this might be the way you were raised by your family, it isn’t how the Universe operates.

It is simply the case that everything you want, wish for, need, and desire are already destined to enter your field of reality at specific moments in time. Being aligned doesn’t necessarily make those things come faster, but allows you to live in greater harmony with the Universe, so you may enjoy each moment of growth, evolution, and expansion from the perfection of your soul’s perspective. This is true in the same way that watching a movie in a state of pure stillness doesn’t improve the story line, or make each character suffer worse the more you resist. It is simply a matter of never-ending relief and eternal enjoyment that remain the invitations to awaken and embody the bliss of heart-centered consciousness.

Have you been lead to believe that a realization of the Absolute will be the very thing that turns everything around for you? There are those who insist, “once I land this job, once I meet my partner, once I reach this level of popularity, or once I reach this level of success, then I’ll know I’ve made it and can feel the way I’ve always wanted to feel.” You can most certainly feel as good as you desire, but life will show you that it will have nothing to do with what you do or how you are seen. Sometimes, we bypass such a crucial realization by insisting, “While those worldly things couldn’t guarantee my happiness, surely a realization of the Absolute will do the trick.”

So here we are. Living expressions of Absolute Source energy waiting for a realization of ourselves, hoping it makes the difference that nothing else has. We are destined to feel better and have every opportunity to feel more empowered, aligned, passionate, loving, and free than ever before, and it occurs the moment we contemplate, “What if the Absolute is no big deal?”

Once the Absolute is no big deal, the importance is given to this very moment of engagement, instead of drifting out of this scene to wander around in the stars. I share this insight as the essence of what the Universe has helped me learn as a being who experiences awakening on a daily basis. Having lived in an uninterrupted state of Samadhi or living state of meditation for the past 14 years, I can tell you firsthand: the Absolute is no big deal.

WHAT IS a big deal is the choice you make (again, and again, and again…) and what you do with your time to manifest the Absolute you already are into tangible physical form.

What matters is how deeply and often
you choose to love.

While my awakenings have helped me cultivate a highly-charged vibrational field, this vibration has the potency and power to transform others on contact because of my insatiable love for being alive. I love being in the human body and have treasured each moment of my life, whether it felt pleasant or relentlessly awful.

For most, the realization of the Absolute just creates a bigger playground to get lost in– instead of bringing energy down the central channel and radiating it through the heart and all the way down to be anchored into the grid of the Earth.

There are those who seek to realize the Absolute and there are those who have experienced the Absolute they have sought. Often times, those two aspects manifest endless spiritual seeking, discourse and debates. Even when seekers become realized, they often just switch roles in the debate without freeing themselves from the conversation at hand. Whether having realized the Absolute or not, the Universe reminds you that the cornerstone of spiritual mastery is embodying the light of your Absolute reality through the oneness of heart-centered consciousness.

This means it doesn’t matter how much you know, but how open and loving you are willing to be that determines your vibrational alignment. No matter how often or deeply you have recognized yourself to be the almighty kingdom of Heaven’s glory, you’ll still have deadlines to meet, a family to care for, a partner to nurture, a body to maintain, and changes to face.

If your realization has awakened the infinite peace, eternal grace, unwavering compassion, joyful patience, elegant mercy, unconditional love, uncompromising integrity, and unshakable resilience of a fully embodied soul, then such a realization has served you well. If it has made your inner seeker hungry for more, then it is more than likely a way in which the spiritual ego maintains its false position of authority.

More important than anything you hope will happen the moment realization dawns, is asking yourself, “What will I do differently throughout my life once such a shift has occurred?”

If you know what you are willing to change in your choices and lifestyle once realization occurs, your best course of action is to begin making those more empowered choices now.

Why wait for anything to be different when YOU are the difference life is trying to make?

Once the Absolute is no big deal, spiritual realization is no longer an object of materialism we are trying to beg, borrow, or steal from the Universe. Instead, it is an open-ended opportunity to explore the infinite capacity of your being for the evolution of reality, instead of an emergency exit from the human journey.

The Absolute is no big deal because you are the biggest deal in existence. You are the one life is waiting for you to meet. If the big deal that you are is also seen to be the Absolute truth of all, then the truth has been seen directly. And as long as such realizations inspire greater love for yourself and others, the Universe remains ready, willing, and able to guide you further along this majestic journey, with no end to the miracles created whenever we come together.

This is the importance of living ALL FOR LOVE. It is the way in which the already fully realized light of your soul enters the consciousness of your physical body to manifest Heaven on Earth, as One for all.

Sit with this energy for a moment. It is the very confirmation of how realized you already are. Realization is not the focus of your mission. Becoming more open, loving, and emotionally free than the world in view — that’s the mission at hand. As you will continue to see, the results and implications of such a heart-centered focus are beyond anything you could ever imagine it to be.

All for light. All for life.

All for love,

Matt Kahn
