Daily Words of the Buddha for July 15, 2018

Pāli Word a Day for July 15, 2018 — nippapañca — that which is without proliferation

Attā hi attano nātho,

Tasmā saṃyamamattānaṃ
assaṃ bhadraṃva vāṇijo.

You are your own master,
you make your future.
Therefore discipline yourself
as a horse-dealer trains a thoroughbred.

Card of the Day – 7 of Cups – Sunday, July 15, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Choices and the task of figuring things out is not always an easy thing. The 7 of Cups asks us to look at things realistically, but truth be told, things may not feel 100% clear at this time. This is an emotional week for many, still riding the wave of Eclipse season, and, as we near the end of the Sun in Cancer, one should expect emotions to surge even more. I mention this because the Suit of Cups itself is representative of emotion, and this feels like a very prominent theme at the moment.

With the 7 of Cups being about things such as wishful thinking, choices, disillusionment and our hopes and dreams, you may still be feeling as though you do not know what to choose. It will happen and you will figure out what it is that you need to know.

Paradigm Shift  |  The Cosmic Rays (Cosmic Intelligence) Arrived on Earth! YAY!, with Doreen Dotan

From Doreen:

“They’re here!

Meant to say Cosmic Rays at the beginning of the video.

There are some videos discussing the presence of extremely high levels of “Cosmic Rays”. These are scientific, not Wisdom-based, interpretations of what’s happening. Listen, but don’t get scared and hear the deeper meanings of what’s being said. These are examples of how *not* to take the events correctly. This isn’t bad or dangerous. It’s GREAT.

My Husband kindly corrected something I said in the video. The Netz is when the sun is first seen. The very first light of the day is called Amood HaSachar.”

Pāli Word a Day for July 14, 2018 == avyāpajjha — kindness of heart; freedom from suffering

Sahassamapi ce vācā anatthapadasaṃhitā
ekaṃ atthapadaṃ seyyo,
yaṃ sutvā upasammati.

Better than a thousand useless words
is one useful word,
hearing which one attains peace.

Card of the Day – 2 of Swords – Saturday, July 14, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

What lies ahead? Between all of the retrorades, there are currently five, and an Eclipse season with three eclipses rather than two, who could possibly know what twists and turns there will be. There are several more weeks of this to navigate, so be patient with yourself, especially should you feel unable to make a decision. You are not stuck, even if you feel your inability to see what is going on is preventing you from moving forward right now.

Give this feeling a couple of days, perhaps until Monday, or Tuesday, for you still have some sorting out left to do. In the long run, it is all for the better, so, for today, use the tranquility represented in this card to maintain peace in your corner of the world.

See you here tomorrow!

Card of the Day – The Tower – Friday, July 13, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Well, here it is! The cards have been pushing you to break out and break free, and for there to be some form of release. The Tower pretty much lets everything loose at once, so to speak. I have been saying massive change is on the horizon; it has arrived with yesterday’s New Moon Supermoon Partial Solar Eclipse at 20° Cancer. This Eclipse was in direct opposition to Pluto, signaling the time has come for transformation to the extreme. There was also a trine with Saturn and Uranus, creating a very harmonious vibe for you, leaving you with no choice but to break out and set yourself free.

When the Tower appears, it can bring about the complete abolition of a way of life, but, in this particular case, I feel that most are only seeing the greatest changes with regards to the areas which have needed them the most…

Pantry Profile: Basil {Ocimum basilicum}

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Bright green, tall, and aromatic, basil is a beauty. An ancient plant with a long history and strange folklore, its sweet, peppery flavor has been used for centuries in cuisine and medicine.

Basil is native to Africa and Southeast Asia and was eventually cultivated in the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Roman scholar Pliny the Elder described basil’s {now well-known} benefits as a carminative and digestive, explaining its effectiveness in relieving flatulence, colic, and nausea. It also has a long history of use for coughs associated with colds, and the leaves were routinely used topically as an insect repellent and poultice to relieve bug bites and stings.

Much myth and legend surrounded this plant we now consider a simple culinary herb. The ancient Egyptians believed basil would entice the god Osiris to open the gates of the afterlife. In his book the English Physician Enlarged, 17th-century botanist Nicholas Culpeper…

Reclaiming Friday the 13th Solar eclipse

Tara Greene www.taratarot.com's avatarTara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

Friday the 13th and a Solar Eclipse in GMT and parts East of North America

The very powerful Cancer North Node Solar eclipse also falls on Friday the 13th is many areas of the world. Take it as another sign of The Divine Feminine reclaiming the #13 as a sacred Number- the number of lunar cycles in a Year.

Most people are very superstitious

Are you superstitious? Were you born under a bad sign?  The scientific name for fear of #13 is called triskadekaphobia and the fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia. Why is the #13 feared and supposed to be bad? The origin of the number 13 needs to be understood and shifted from fear and superstition.

The fear of #13 is really a misogynist brainwash which originated with the Catholic church.

 I love #13. The truth will set you free. Pet a black cat today and break a…

Pāli Word a Day for July 12, 2018 — sabbaganthappamocana — freedom from all bonds

Sabbe saṅkhārā aniccā.
Yadā paññāya passati,
atha nibbindati dukkhe;
esa maggo visuddhiyā.

Impermanent are all compounded things.
When one perceives this with true insight,
then one becomes detached from suffering;
this is the path of purification.

Card of the Day – 7 of Swords – Thursday, July 12, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

New Moon blessings to all! Today, or tomorrow, depending upon where you live, we will have a New Moon Supermoon Partial Solar Eclipse at 20° Cancer. Things are ready to shift in a very big way. The politics of life; very often to make it through the day, you need to use one face for this person, and one face for another. It is not about being two-faced at all, rather playing things close to the vest and not showing your complete hand for whatever reason. I am not at all surprised to see this after yesterday’s 8 of Swords (stay tuned to tomorrow), for there is some form release taking place in the lives of many.

We seem to have a theme going on here, one which I explain better in my Patreon video – Eclipse Season #2 of 2018 https://patreon.com/tarotbycecelia/ – let’s just say it is not all…
