THIS WEEK’S ALOHA MESSAGE: POSSESSION IN GREAT MEASURE

Macaw

Stay out of the way of progress
It is a powerful wave
There will be no blame
Do not turn your back on this force
This is a time of abundance, improvement, and success. Step aside and allow the natural progression of life energy to unfold; it will be wearing the disguise of fate-

You have given fleeting thoughts to doing the right thing on your path to wellness and abundance. This will be yours now if you step back and allow the natural flow to coincide with your desires to be free.

Fear now will not be a precaution now; it would be disaster. Step forth into the light of life to receive the love, entertainment and success that is in reach. It will not be seen as greed if you take what you need as long as you leave the rest in full view of all to see. Other pilgrims are walking the same path as you. You do not see them but you have sensed them. By filling your cup so it is not to overflowing is the correct behavior now. There is plenty for you and the tribe who have had your back in the shadows
Abundance in all things
Awaits you;
Simply look
And calmly lay claim.
Accept this role as the magician who can manifest what is needed in your family tribe and in commerce. You see your situation clearly, and it is good.

The obstacles that once caused you to stumble are removed, and overhead the clouds have parted. Do not overreact. Remain calm, and your vision will become clear and your passion will lead the way to gain whatever it is you put on your cosmic wish list. It may be money, but don’t stop there—that is but a small part of the equation. You can now have clarity of purpose, but only if you remain calm and refrain from getting giddy or greedy as you are moved beyond obstacles to go deeper into spirit and love.

To make you aware that the time of abundance is indeed here, you are feeling certain inner stirrings—of passion, happiness, or perhaps just a certain lightness of being. Do not become confused about these stirrings, which seem to come from the center of the Earth or from the place we identify as Heaven. Know that these feelings are a message from Spirit: they are meant to get your attention and are given to you in recognition of good works and proper intent—and also to wake you up.

Immediately look to your inner core, to your true self, the one operating outside of greed, pride, or judgment. That is the real you, and it is good. This understanding of your authentic self is now available to you as never before. You are in the radiance of your connection to Spirit, to Gaia, to the great Oneness.
You are given a light
That can shine on all that has decayed.
It is within your power
To restore what has been spoiled.
You have passed through a time of doubt and darkness. Some might call it depression. It wasn’t that; it was you, warming up to get ready for the big breakthrough.

During this last period we have passed through, the light of love, abundance, and success has at times seemed like a fleeting memory. You may have felt like you were being teased by the light—just at the very moment you thought you would grasp it, it slipped away—now you see it, now you don’t.

Never doubt that the universe has a wicked sense of humor. It is to keep you on your toes and make sure you have the ability to laugh at yourself, the self you often take so bloody seriously.

Through your perseverance and good intention, Possession in Great Measure is here and here to stay, if you allow it. Be aware that Da You, while sounding the bell of abundance, also carries a formula for abundance attached to a warning: that to maintain this joyous and abundant pathway you must refrain from arrogance, judgment, and self-delusion.

Recall what brought you here on your pathway; pretty magical, if you look at it from the right end of the telescope. Appreciate what you have done and who has helped you achieve the necessary clarity to reach for and maintain what is yours. Honor yourself and them—especially those who have sorely tested you. Opportunity abounds now, whether in business, love, your health, or your spiritual development. Be generous in all things, and this time of abundance will continue to circulate through your life.

At this time, the pieces of the puzzle of life have come together to make a beautiful image of the future and your place in it. Obstacles are removed, and darkness and the dark ones are vanquished. This is a time when you have been readied to receive great blessings—in love, business, health, family, and friendships.

Sometimes the ego tells us that what we see is false, an illusory trick of the mind. Do not let fear or doubt allow you to conclude that what is being presented to you is yet another manipulation from the ego to hold you in the bondage of feeling separate. Do not let the ego have its way with you, as that would only prevent you from claiming the abundance and joy that is placed squarely before you. These presentations will not be subtle, either; the light of the universe is shining on them.

Trust and remember to share the wealth that now comes to you, in whatever form it takes, like a warm, fragrant breeze floating on an early summer night. In case you may have forgotten, that breeze is called love, and it is a flow.

Use love to illuminate your path and the path of those who walk with you. In this way, the way of sharing, your love, inner strength, and spirit will increase, and the harmonious circumstances that set things in their present course will be recognized and honored. To keep the current of love flowing through your life, use humility, grace, good manners, and generosity.

When we are positioned well in times such as these we must recognize that we have a responsibility to our family, associates, and tribe of friends. As you feel more secure in your seat of abundance, give of your time and loving energy: to children, to the beneficial ecology of Mother Earth, and to all the living beings that surround us. There is transformative magic in these actions, and you are now the magician. Recognize your role and act on it. In this way, this blessed cycle will repeat again and again in your life.

Shine like the sun at midday. Bring laughter and happiness to those around you. The true message of this hexagram is held in your heart. It is the key to gaining the confidence to magically transform your own life and the lives of those around you. If there is love or a new opportunity on the horizon, it is time to let it in. You are safe and strong and have a clarity that you very likely have never known before. At this time love will grow as never before. Abundance will increase in proportion to your love, and your heart will soar.

Oftentimes we hear the warning to not take things personally. This is not such a time. Take this time, and the joy and abundance that go with it, very personally. It is yours. Sing, laugh, be joyful, and allow yourself to love and be loved, and love yourself. Now is the time to be a cosmic love generator.

 

Today’s Inspiration … from the Upanishads

“A man becomes good by good works, evil by evil.”  Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. 3. 2.13

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4:4.3-7 continues  giving more detailed concepts and goes on to explain the concept as follows:

“When a caterpillar has come to the end of a blade of grass, it reaches out to another blade, and draws itself over to it. In the same way the soul, having coming to the end of one life, reaches out to another body, and draws itself over to it.

“Just as a goldsmith, having taken a piece of gold, makes another form, new and more beautiful, so also, verily the Atman having cast off this body and having put away Avidya or ignorance, makes another new and more beautiful form” (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad).

“As people act, so they become. If their actions are good, they become good; if their actions are bad, they become bad. Good deeds purify those who perform them; bad deeds pollute those who perform them.

“Thus we may say that we are what we desire. Our will springs from our desires; our actions spring from our will; and what we are, springs from our actions. We may conclude, therefore, that the state of our desires at the time of death determines our next life; we return to earth in order to satisfy those desires.

“Consider those who in the course of many lives on earth have become free from desire. By this we mean that all their desires have found fulfillment within the soul itself. They do not die as others do. Since they understand God, they merge with God.

‘When all the desires clinging to the heart fall away, the mortal becomes immortal. When all the knots of desire strangling the heart are loosened, liberation occurs.

“As the snake discards its skin, leaving it lifeless on an anthill, so the soul free from desire discards the body, and unites with God who is eternal life and boundless light.”

Katha Upanishad 6.1-5, 10-11, 13-16

“The tree of eternity has its roots in the sky, and its branches reach down to earth. It is God; it is the immortal soul.

The whole universe comes from God; his energy burns like fire, and his power reverberates like thunder, in every part of the universe. In honor of God the sun shines, the clouds rain, and the winds blow. Death itself goes about its business in fear of God.

If you fail to see God in the present life, then after death you must take on another body; if you see God, then you will break free from the cycle of birth and death. God can be seen, like the reflection in a mirror, in a pure heart.

When the senses are calm and the mind is motionless, then your heart is pure; you have reached the highest state of consciousness, in which you are unified with God. If this state of consciousness is firm and secure, so it can never be broken, then you are free.
To calm the senses and still the mind, you must abandon the self. You must renounce ‘I’ and ‘me’ and ‘mine’. You must suppress every desire that surges around the heart. You must untie every knot of attachment.

A hundred and one lights radiate from the heart. One of them shines upwards to the crown of the head. This points the way to immortality. Every other light points to death.”

“Like corn, does a mortal ripen; like corn, does he spring to life again” (Kathopanishad).
