Saddhīdha vittaṃ purisassa seṭṭhaṃ
Dhammo suciṇṇo sukhamāvahāti.
Saccaṃ have sādutaraṃ rasānaṃ.
Paññājīviṃ jīvitamāhu seṭṭhaṃ.
Conviction is a person’s highest wealth.
Dhamma, when well-practiced, brings bliss.
Truth is the highest of tastes.
Living with discernment, one’s life is called best.
Sutta Nipāta 1.184
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Do you listen to music to help you get through difficult tasks? There is no shortage of appropriate music for the 9 of Wands, ‘I Will Survive’, ‘I’m Still Standing’, and, the one which works best for today, ‘Eye of the Tiger’. Feel free to play it loud, so long as you are not disturbing anyone else.
Under today’s Leo Moon, it is more like the eye of the lion, making you fierce, determined, and persistent with its fiery energy. You may use this to help you power through a situation, even when you do not think you can do it. If you have felt as though any recent events have not only knocked the wind out of you, but perhaps even knocked you down, today, you can rise again, a little weary perhaps, but steadfast in seeing your changes come to life.
See you here tomorrow!

I almost jumped out of the shower when I saw it.
In the corner, behind the shampoos, along the tile — black spots of mold, shooting out toxic spores into the air.
Suddenly it all made sense. I’d been experiencing headaches for a few weeks, and I normally never get headaches. My nose and sinuses were also stuffed up. It was the mold that was causing it, and I had to do something about it immediately. […]

Hello Everyone,
It’s been a little while since my last article. A lot has been happening in my world. Like everyone else, I have been letting go of the old and bringing in the new. Which will be a theme for this article today. I have started my Lama training, which has made my life very interesting. This training also takes place in the astral and etheric as well, and it is really affecting my current physical body. I have been reading a book called “Daughter Of Fire”, which was written by Irina Tweedie. It’s about her experiences while she was being trained by a Sufi Master. I have considered keeping a journal of my experiences while being trained in the Bon Tradition. There are not many, if any American female Bon Lama’s because it takes many years and the training is extensive. I think people might want to know…

Mercury is the most active planet this weekend. Continuing to shuffle backwards from being in the heart of the Sun, to squaring Jupiter in Sagittarius on the 15th

This is more of a technique than a recipe. It makes your enchiladas perfectly saucy. My family at every last one of these enchiladas at dinner.
Awesomely Saucy Cheese Enchiladas
Warm enchilada sauce on the stove top over very low heat. If the sauce is too hot, your tortillas will fall apart. Put corn tortillas into the sauce, flip. Coat each tortilla well.
Remove quickly. The tortillas just need to be warm for rolling. **If your corn tortillas aren’t warm, they will break apart when you roll your enchiladas.**
Roll enchiladas on a plate or board and add desired ingredients. Here, I used Tillamook Cheddar and Tillamook Monterey Jack (did you know that a lot of Tillamook cheeses are vegetarian? They don’t use animal rennet in the production process).
Place in a greased baking dish. Top with more sauce if desired (I like them saucy!), and some more cheese.

This is probably something that grill masters all over the world already know. I didn’t know until Fall of my 38th year. I was in Washington visiting, and my brother invited me over for dinner. The man is a Grill Master. He made perfect baked potatoes (just the way he was taught when he worked at Sizzler for 3 days), perfectly cooked steak, and hot bread. There may have been salad, it wasn’t as important as the things on the grill.
It was the bread that had me going “well THAT is brilliant”.
Perfect bread on the grill:
Simple, but a game changer for me.
Enjoy!

Taking care of business, yes, even on a Saturday. There are still plenty of things which require your attention on your To-Do List. The 8 of Pentacles has rather a nose-to-the-grindstone energy, urging you to apply yourself to the tasks at hand. If you work best with music, or an audiobook, then put in your earbuds and listen while you tackle things.
Dependent upon your time zone, you will start with a Cancer Moon, which will turn void-of-course for seven hours, before moving into Leo, where your thoughts and actions may turn to other things. Utilize your time left under the Cancer Moon to give it your all, and, remember during the void, do not attempt to initiate anything. You can still accomplish a great deal today, in spite of, and in cooperation with, the current Mercury retrograde.
See you here tomorrow!

I’m not sure if people realize how bad it is right now for Nebraska. WHOLE towns are under water, weather reporters said evacuations have been ordered for 21 towns and communities or more than 60,000 people. Most of which also got hit by the blizzard with no place to go. These people had to leave behind or couldn’t get to their pets and livestock, which herds of cattle have been seen running on highways trying to survive their fields flooding. Not to mention it’s calving season and calves will be the first to drown as water levels rise or freeze to death. People are either trapped in their houses or can’t access them since two days ago. This will be billions of dollars in damages and losses across Nebraska, please pray for those suffering. #NebraskaStrong
Update: 3/15/2019 towns and communities are still being evacuated as the water now heads more east. They are saying the worst flooding in the east to southeast will be this weekend still yet. A few more dikes and dams are compromised while levees are either overflowing or failing. Omaha roads are now being flooded. I can’t add anymore picture but know new towns are still getting flooded as water from Colorado and the Dakotas poor in.

In my hallucination
I saw my Beloved’s flower garden
In my vertigo
In my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the Spirit of Love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow
I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my Love says
“Look at me and hear me
Because I am here just with that”
I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you
Oh the sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I too have been covered with thorns

Emotions abound today under the Cancer Moon. The Moon is at home here in Cancer’s watery depths, and joins Neptune, Mercury, the Sun, and the North Node, for an emotional influence to your day. The Ace of Cups is representative of emotional fulfillment, love, intuition, creativity, success, and, today, you have the opportunity for emotions to run the gamut. There will be planetary interactions with Mercury and Jupiter, and the Sun with the North Node. There is a positive influence present in your day, bestowing you with determination to succeed in your changes. Be mindful not to take on too much.
It is possible to feel emotions run either way today, but indeed, the outstretched hand of the Universe is poised to offer you something wonderful. Make yourself available to receive.

List ye, O man, to the voice of wisdom,
list to the voice of THOTH, the Atlantean.Freely I give to thee of my wisdom,
gathered from the time and space of this cycle;
master of mysteries, SUN of the morning,
living forever, a child of the LIGHT,
shining with brightness, star of the morning,THOTH the teacher of men, is of ALL.
Long time ago, I in my childhood,
lay ‘neath the stars on long-buried ATLANTIS,
dreaming of mysteries far above men.Then in my heart grew there a great longing to
conquer the pathway that led to the stars.
Year after year, I sought after wisdom,
seeking new knowledge, following the way,
until at last my SOUL, in great travail,
broke from its bondage and bounded away.Free was I from the bondage of earth-men.
Free from the body, I flashed through the night.
Unlocked at last for me was the star-space.
Free was I from the bondage of night.
Now to the end of space sought I wisdom,
far beyond knowledge of finite man.Far into space, my SOUL traveled freely
into infinity’s circle of light.
Strange, beyond knowledge, were some of the planets,
great and gigantic, beyond dreams of men.Yet found I Law, in all of its beauty, working
through and among them as here among men.Flashed forth my soul through infinity’s beauty,
far through space
I flew with my thoughts.Rested I there on a planet of beauty.
Strains of harmony filled all the air.Shapes there were, moving in Order,
great and majestic as stars in the night;
mounting in harmony, ordered equilibrium,
symbols of the Cosmic, like unto Law.Many the stars I passed in my journey,
many the races of men on their worlds;
some reaching high as stars of the morning,
some falling low in the blackness of night.Each and all of them struggling upward,
gaining the heights and plumbing the depths,
moving at times in realms of brightness,
living through darkness, gaining the Light.Know, O man, that Light is thine heritage.
Know that darkness is only a veil.
Sealed in thine heart is brightness eternal,
waiting the moment of freedom to conquer,
waiting to rend the veil of the night.Some I found who had conquered the ether.
Free of space were they while yet they were men.
Using the force that is the foundation of ALL things,
far in space constructed they a planet,
drawn by the force that flows through the ALL;
condensing, coalescing the ether into forms,
that grew as they willed.Outstripping in science, they, all of the races,
mighty in wisdom, sons of the stars.
Long time I paused, watching their wisdom.
Saw them create from out of the ether cities
gigantic of rose and gold.
Formed forth from the primal element,
base of all matter, the ether far flung.Far in the past, they had conquered the ether,
freed themselves from the bondage of toil;
formed in their mind only a picture and swiftly
created, it grew.Forth then, my soul sped, throughout the Cosmos,
seeing ever, new things and old;
learning that man is truly space-born,
a Sun of the Sun,
a child of the stars.Know ye, O man, whatever from ye inhabit,
surely it is one with the stars.Thy bodies are nothing but planets revolving
around their central suns.When ye have gained the light of all wisdom,
free shall ye be to shine in the ether —
one of the Suns that light outer darkness —
one of the space-born grown into Light.Just as the stars in time lose their brilliance,
light passing from them in to the great source,
so, O man, the soul passes onward,
leaving behind the darkness of night.Formed forth ye, from the primal ether,
filled with the brilliance that
flows from the source,
bound by the ether coalesced around,
yet ever it flames until at last it is free.Lift up your flame from out of the darkness,
fly from the night and ye shall be free.Traveled I through the space-time,
knowing my soul at last was set free,
knowing that now might I pursue wisdom.
Until at last, I passed to a plane,
hidden from knowledge,
known not to wisdom,
extension beyond all that we know.Now, O man, when I had this knowing,
happy my soul grew,
for now I was free.
Listen, ye space-born,
list to my wisdom:
know ye not that ye, too, will be free.List ye again, O man, to my wisdom,
that hearing, ye too, might live and be free.
Not of the earth are ye — earthy,
but child of the Infinite Cosmic Light.Know ye not, O man, of your heritage?
Know ye not ye are truly the Light?
Sun of the Great Sun, when ye gain wisdom,
truly aware of your kinship with Light.Now, to ye, I give knowledge,
freedom to walk in the path I have trod,
showing ye truly how by my striving,
I trod the path that leads to the stars.Hark ye, O man, and know of thy bondage,
know how to free thyself from the toils.
Out of the darkness shall ye rise upward,
one with the Light and one with the stars.Follow ye ever the path of wisdom.
Only by this can ye rise from below.
Ever man’s destiny leads him onward
into the Curves of Infinity’s ALL.Know ye, O man, that all space is ordered.
Only by Order are ye One with the ALL.
Order and Balance are the Law of the Cosmos.
Follow and ye shall be One with the ALL.He who would follow the pathway of wisdom,
open must be he to the flower of life,
extending his consciousness out of the darkness,
flowing through time and space in the ALL.Deep in the silence,
first ye must linger until at last ye
are free from desire,
free from the longing to speak in the silence.Conquer by silence, the bondage of words.
Abstaining from eating until we have conquered
desire for food, that is bondage of soul.Then lie ye down in the darkness.
Close ye your eyes from the rays of the Light.
Centre thy soul-force in the place of thine consciousness,
shaking it free from the bonds of the night.Place in thy mind-place the image thou desireth.
Picture the place thou desireth to see.
Vibrate back and forth with thy power.
Loosen the soul from out of its night.
Fiercely must thou shake with all of thy power
until at last thy soul shall be free.Mighty beyond words is the flame of the Cosmic,
hanging in planes, unknown to man;
mighty and balanced, moving in Order,
music of harmonies, far beyond man.Speaking with music, singing with color,
flame from the beginning of Eternity’s ALL.
Spark of the flame art thou, O my children,
burning with color and living with music.
List to the voice and thou shalt be free.Consciousness free is fused with the Cosmic,
One with the Order and Law of the ALL.
Knew ye not man, that out of the darkness,
Light shall flame forth, a symbol of ALL.Pray ye this prayer for attaining of wisdom.
Pray for the coming of Light to the ALL.Mighty SPIRIT of LIGHT that shines through the
Cosmos, draw my flame closer in harmony to thee.
Lift up my fire from out of the darkness,
magnet of fire that is One with the ALL.
Lift up my soul, thou mighty and potent.
Child of the Light, turn not away.
Draw me in power to melt in thy furnace;
One with all things and all things
in One, fire of the life-strain and
One with the Brain.When ye have freed thy soul from its bondage,
know that for ye the darkness is gone.
Ever through space ye may seek wisdom,
bound not be fetters forged in the flesh.Onward and upward into the morning, free flash,
O Soul, to the realms of Light. Move thou in Order,
move thou in Harmony, freely shalt move
with the Children of Light.
The Space BornSeek ye and know ye, my KEY of Wisdom.
Thus, O man, ye shall surely be free.-Tablet IV, The Emerald Tablets of Thoth
Your home is where your thoughts find peace.

The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
While violets’ delicate blossoms are a treat only for the observant, the plant has enjoyed a long history of medicinal and culinary use.
Leigh Hunt, an English Romantic essayist, and poet is the first known author of the phrase “shrinking violet.” In 1820, he published a passage describing a bit of woodland in The Indicator, a poetry magazine: “There was the buttercup, struggling from a white to a dirty yellow; and a faint-colored poppy; and here and there by the thorny underwood a shrinking violet.”
Hunt was almost certainly referring to the native English, or sweet, violet (Viola odorata). This shy plant can often go unremarked underfoot, and it carries its small, slightly recurved flowers level with or just below its leaves. The phrase “shrinking violet” took a few decades to catch on — but when it did, it spread rapidly, much as its parent plant does…
