Daily Words of the Buddha for May 02, 2018

Sabbo ādīpito loko,
sabbo loko padhūpito;
Sabbo pajjalito loko,
sabbo loko pakampito.
Akampitaṃ apajjalitaṃ,
aputhujjanasevitaṃ,
agati yattha mārassa —
tattha me nirato mano.
The entire world is in flames,
the entire world is going up in smoke;
the entire world is burning,
the entire world is vibrating.
But that which does not vibrate or burn,
which is experienced by the noble ones,
where death has no entry–
in that my mind delights.
Saṃyutta Nikāya 1.168

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 10 of Swords – Wednesday, May 2, 2018
And the light comes shining through; pick your head up and take a good look around as May arrives and stress subsides. There is a sense of relief with the 10 of Swords today, and while you may not feel as though things are anywhere near the 100% mark of what you have been working so hard to overcome and/or achieve, you can now come to the realization that it is doable on both counts.
Very often, when we see the 10 of Swords, we see it as being down and out, hitting rock bottom, feeling stabbed in the back or betrayed in some way, or even highly stressed. However, we are, once again, in a month which will bring extreme change to some facet of everyone’s life. This brings me to feel that the greater majority of you will start to see the positive side of this card, with…

The greater the sincerity with which we seek out truth – and the stronger the voice we use to speak out about our discoveries – the more heightened in intensity the ‘push-back’ reactivity will be, and the attacks we receive shall arrive in ways that catch us completely unaware. Relationships are (by their nature) amongst the most difficult experiences for human beings to navigate, but for those who are dedicated to truth seeking and ‘alternative’ research (even if our social circles include those interested in paranormal, conspiracy, and/or spirituality topics), they can become even more emotionally-challenging. Does that mean that pursuing this path is a lost cause – that being part of a larger consciousness-raising movement within the global community is, paradoxically, a lonely and isolating lifestyle? Not at all.
We have to understand (on a primal level) that we are far more powerful than we think we are; there’s a spiritual war underway, and the weapons we possess (in defence and protection of ourselves) are (embodied) knowledge and awareness. In fact, the greatest deception can be found in these occult entities fooling us into the belief that we are fundamentally powerless, and are thus incapable of transcending their machinations.
Let us look at this predicament from a different vantage point: the fact that you are being attacked (and attracting that kind of attention in the first place) shows that you are latching onto something – a larger truth – that is a threat to the Matrix Control System’s game plan, whether it be through the information you share, the ‘voice’ you possess, or perhaps it’s due to simply being who you are (as an individual) and what you are here to do (but haven’t realized what that is just yet). Being targeted can show you that you are actually on the right track.
It may not sound comforting to know, but the reality is that struggle and suffering are inevitable traits to be endured on the awakening path. The New Age has corrupted this truth as well, by sowing the bypassing seeds of illusion (such as the extremely-distorted ideas involving the “You Create Your Own Reality” solipsistic fallacy ),so as to have you blaming yourself for your own misfortunes. Yes, there are moments in life where we do find ourselves in unfortunate situations that arise through our own blind spots and unconscious behaviour patterns, but there is way more to the ‘larger picture’ story.
At the same time, we do need to be careful in unnecessarily-attracting the attention and targeted attacks of the General Law/Matrix Control System…strategic enclosures (and external considerations) are important to consider in this regard. We cannot wake up others through forceful conversion, nor can we give “truth” when it is not sincerely requested by another. Blind revolutionary impulses (i.e., truth-seeking without grounding in sincere self-work and carefully-vetted knowledge) will transform a person into that which they had sought to fight against: the trap of the reactionary mind, which is only focused on the outside world of our third-dimensional reality, locked in a vain struggle against the shadows projected onto the cave wall by our hyperdimensional prison wardens.
The path of the wanderer, renegade, or spiritual warrior (all of whom, in their own ways, are dedicated to bringing genuine light into our world by making the darkness conscious) is far from an easy road to travel – there are so many traps, temptations, and distractions that can steer us away from what we are here to accomplish, and one of the most vulnerable ‘blind spots’ (for many of us) involve love relationships. Understanding the “mechanics” of Alien Love Bite/Dark Side of Cupid programming is an essential piece of knowledge for anyone on this path to possess.
So many people focus on global issues such as environmental degradation, government corruption, the fake war on terror, economic turmoil, banking system tyranny, etc. (all of which are important topics that need to be addressed and examined)…but isn’t it interesting to note that there seems to be something else going on beneath the surface of these symptomatic issues? Something which many people are not aware of at all – while those who are exposed to information on the “topic of all topics” oftentimes react with ignorance, denial, ridicule, or attempt to explain it all away with questionable appeals to spiritual concepts or mainstream psychological dogma.
It is also important to keep in mind that not everyone is suited for this truth-seeking path (nor is it their calling in life), hence we need to remain “wise as serpents and gentle as doves” (as the esoteric axiom states) whilst standing firm in giving the lie what it deserves: the truth. And this stance entails calling a spade a spade at times, and not allowing our “make nice” societal conditioning to dampen our inner voice and accumulated knowing.
This perspective on ‘the awakening path’ may sound a bit depressing, but in the end, when it comes to those who have answered the call, it’s vital to remember that we’re all in this together. We’re all teachers and students alike, but we also have different lessons to learn, and possess knowledge that we integrate on an individual basis. We need to assist each other in this Time of Transition whilst doing the best we can to move from a ‘Service to Self’ to ‘Service to Others’ frequency, creating community bonds, and surrounding ourselves with like-minded people. If you can’t truly be yourself with the people that you are hanging out with, then you may want to ask yourself: ‘what does true friendship really mean, if you can’t be comfortable being yourself’?
On the path towards awakening and seeking truth, family members and long-time friends my fade from the picture in order to make room for new people to enter the frame who will encourage your evolutionary growth. This is a normal part of the process; as we change from within, the outer world we inhabit changes as well. It can get lonely at times (and painfully-confusing on many occasions), but there are subtle energies all around which assist and uplift us in the choices we make, even if we can’t see (nor communicate with) them. After all, the truth WILL set us free, even if the process is a challenging journey to make.
Whatever happens (whether in the world at-large, or in our individual lives), we must be careful to avoid getting stuck in a frequency of fear – of negative emotions – for that mindset is what these hyperdimensional overlords would like to continue perpetuating upon the inhabits of Earth, deploying all kinds of deceptions and thought-control techniques so as to keep us disconnected from our true Self and holistic Knowledge – from transcendent Love and universal Understanding. Our path to (Self-)Knowledge and Truth is the biggest threat to the tyrannical rule of those who seek to control humanity in order to satiate their own scarcity-consciousness cravings.
Thus, it’s important to remind yourself to drop any expectations that taking up this path will be a smooth ride (in any respect). The centrality of pursuing sincere self-work and gaining knowledge (in order to vibrate on a higher frequency of TRUE Love in this time and age of transition) is so very obvious and self-evident when looking at the state of the world from an expanded vision of awareness. We are in the midst of spiritual upheaval in service to Remembrance, and the battle to reclaim our birthright is being fought through the portal of our human experience.

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 9 of Swords – Tuesday, May 1, 2018
Perhaps it is the intensity of the transformational Full Moon in Scorpio just passed, or the shocking events of Uranus at the end of Aries, but doubts seem to be difficult to contain. There is no reason for them, other than conditioning, especially through the last seven years, for with Uranus, the other shoe always seems to drop.
This is a card of nightmares and anxiety and things which go bump in the night, but the fears are unfounded and tend to live in your head. There is no reason to doubt yourself, or your abilities, things really are about to change. One of the worst things anyone can do, rather than allowing themselves a good night sleep, is to play scenarios of doom in their head, with farfetched outcomes pertaining to your journey. Stop it. You deserve all of the good and happiness which will be coming your way…

An ascended master is essentially a true teacher who has left the Earth plane, and gone on to the next plane – a paradise where all who dwell there have achieved the same consciousness of Unselfish Love, Light, and Oneness. Because of their release from the consciousness limitations of the physical plane, they do have greater consciousness. […]

Source: Spellbinding Sweet Woodruff Cake: Prosperity Magic – gather
I’m going to be baking this cake again for May Day Eve (April 29th) also known as Floralia by the Romans, Walpurgisnacht by the Teutons and Beltane by the Celts. This is a high time for magic as it falls exactly six months from All Hallow’s Eve, or Samhain, and thus was also a night when the veil between the worlds thinned. As a result ghosts, fairies, shapeshifter, and witches were at their most powerful, which is why it is also known as Hexennacht, from the Dutch (Heksennacht) meaning Witches’ Night.

Spirituality | The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ* return to Earth.From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men –
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
Daily Words of the Buddha for April 30, 2018

Sace bhāyatha dukkhassa, sace vo dukkhamappiyaṃ,
mākattha pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, āvi vā yadi vā raho.
Sace ca pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, karissatha karotha vā,
Na vo dukkhā pamutyatthi:
upeccapi palāyataṃ.
If you fear pain, if you dislike pain,
don’t do an evil deed in open or secret.
If you’re doing or will do an evil deed,
you won’t escape pain:
it will catch you even as you run away.

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 7 of Swords – Monday, April 30, 2018
What has been hidden and going on behind the scenes, may very well surface as a result of yesterday’s intense Full Moon in Scorpio. If you have been wondering about something, the truth of the situation may very well come to light at this time. Shady business and secrets have a habit of making their way out into the open when Scorpio is in the house.
If you are not the one trying to operate in a covert fashion, then you are likely witness to any revelations which come about now. Scorpio is the great detective, and this Full Moon is a huge turning point for many, so expect things to make their way to the forefront now. The 7 of Swords deals with betrayals, stealth mode, and all kinds of unseen activities. Trying to keep a secret around this truth-seeking Full Moon may be impossible.

Aloha Meditation Moments …

We spend our childhoods writing our dreams in diaries. As adults, those dreams quietly come true every single day … only sometimes we forget to notice, until it’s too late. So, slow down … and take it in. Let yourself feel it. Because sometimes, even the most beautiful dreams disappear when the sun comes up.

New opportunities open us up to greater possibilities. New information and a new perspective can permanently shift our consciousness … and the way we see the world will never be the same.

All day, every day, we fight against the current. Sometimes, we lose. Sometimes, we win. Sometimes, the current carries us exactly where we need to go … and sometimes, it slams us right into the rocks.

We define ourselves by our actions. But, it doesn’t mean we have to live by that definition. We can change our own story. We can refuse to accept the way people define us. We can work like hell to escape a bad reputation … only to wonder if we succeeded. It can be hard to shake the mistakes of the past. They’ll always come back to haunt us. But, one thing we never do: we don’t stop. We don’t quit. We get up and rejoin the fight.

Card of the Day – Knight of Wands – Saturday, April 28, 2018
Ah, the Bringer of Change! This guy has a tendency to be all over the place, and his energy needs to be harnessed in a positive manner. Mercury is still in Aries, so actions toward change may be made swiftly and recklessly, without enough forethought, so think of this as a caution to think things through first.
However, change is change nonetheless, and it can be exciting if you are accepting. Think of today as a day to embard on a great adventure. What are you passionate about; this is where you should be applying any excess energy you may be feeling now. The Moon is in Libra today which can actually have you weighing things out, but I truly feel the Mercurial energy will override the Libra Moon and you will suddenly spring into action.
See you here tomorrow!
