Theosophy | A Sufi Story from Rumi

Once in a village, Woman saw three old Men sitting outside her house. They were sitting there for quite a while.

Woman went outside and said,
I saw that you are sitting here for long, you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.

Men asked,
Is the man of the house at home ?

Woman replied, No.

Men replied,
Then we cannot come in.

Woman went inside. In the evening when her husband came, she told him about people sitting outside and all that had happened.

The husband told his wife to go and ask those Men to come in and have some food.

Woman went out and said,
My husband is home. He is inviting you all. Please come inside and have food.

They replied,
We do not go inside a house together.

Woman questioned, Why ?

Then one of those old Men explained.

Pointing to one of his friends, he said :
His name is Wealth.
If he goes with you, your home will be filled with wealth always.

Then pointing to another old Man he said :
He is Success.
If he goes with you, you will always be successful in any endeavor you start.

He then introduced himself as Love.
If I go with you, then your home will be filled with love always.

Then he said,
Now you go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.

Woman went inside and told her husband about what the old Man said.
Her husband was overjoyed hearing about it and said,
Let’s invite Wealth.
Let him come and fill our home with wealth.

Wife disagreed and said, Why don’t we invite Success ?

Their daughter-in-law was listening to this.
She came to them and suggested,
Wouldn’t it be better if we invite Love in our home ?
Then our home will be filled with love forever.

Husband and wife agreed to this advice.

Woman again went out and said,
Which one of you is Love ? Please come in and be our guest.

Love got up and started walking toward the house. Just then the other two also got up and started following him.

Woman asked,
You said that not all can come together.
I invited only Love.
Why are you all coming in ?

The old Men replied,
If you had invited Wealth or Success then the other two would have stayed outside, but since you invite Love, wherever he goes, we go with him.

Wherever there is Love, Wealth and Success will follow.

Divine Feminine Oracle | Mother Mary – October 19, 2022

Mother Mary’s message for you

Today, my most beautiful child, I want you to release any fears you have about being scrutinised. Even though you’ve had to deal with a lot of tragedies in your life, you’re still the same person within. Take a chance on me; I won’t harm you in any way.

 

You may confide in me about anything since I am able to perceive your innermost thoughts, feelings and desires. When you trust in confiding in me with things that you don’t even feel comfortable admitting to yourself, I will never criticise. I am here to help you grow and accept yourself, my child.

What you need to know

Even if we enjoy the advantages that come with adulthood, we cannot guarantee that they will bring us pleasure. There are instances when a negative event may warp our perspective on life as a whole as well as the people in our immediate environment. However, we are limiting the freedom of our soul by harbouring negative thoughts. Thankfully,  we have the potential to set ourselves free by looking at the world through the eyes of a child.

 

Know always that you are in Mother Mary’s prayers as she hopes that you have a happy life. She urges you to view the world as if you were seeing it for the first time, with childlike wonder. Enjoy living in the here and now and give yourself permission to laugh as well as to have fun!

Prayer for healing

You are bathed in a kaleidoscope of sound and light that illuminates and encircles you. You feel revitalised as you  feel reborn via this holy water cleansing you from old upsetting memories as well as negative ways of being and seeing yourself.

 

As you relax, let the comfort of her love wash over you. Then  say, ” Assist me in regaining a sense of innocence and faith in myself, the Mother Mary of Innocence. May I be a beacon of hope for those who need to see their own essential purity. We pray that for the sake of humanity, truth and morality may triumph over lies and ego.”

Daily Words of the Buddha for October 19, 2022

let one be controlled in mind.
Abandoning mental misconduct,
let one practice good conduct in thought.

Sun and Venus visit Pluto over the 19th and 20th

Eliza Bassett's avatarEyes of Heaven

Something different for this post. Expanding on the time of the transiting Pluto aspects with the Sun and Venus, this astrologer, Mitchell Lewis- http://www.MitchAstro.com/, offers longer input – for your discernment and use.

THE SUN & VENUS SQUARE PLUTO:

On Wednesday October 19th at 9:33 A.M. EDT & Thursday October 20th at 2:03 A.M. EDT these two planets set up a harsh aspect to deep, intuitive Pluto. This will be a few days when it’s important to express yourself clearly and not overstate your position. People will be a little fragile and some will be looking for an argument. This is a power struggle that can easily suck you into its agenda, whether you realize it or not. It might not be you that is looking for the hassle, but the other person. If you aren’t paying attention, a single sentence or a misunderstood comment can bring things up…

A Powerful Election for Venus Talismans

Peter Stockinger's avatarPeter Stockinger's Traditional Astrology Weblog

On 22 October 2022, Venus will be Cazimi in Libra, which is something that has not occurred for well over a hundred years. 

To be cazimi, which is also called “to be in the heart of the Sun”, a planet has to be within 17.5 minutes of the Sun’s position. The 17th Century astrologer William Lilly wrote about it in his Christian Astrology, stating that: 

All authors do hold a planet in Cazimi to be fortified thereby…” (CA p113)

The fact that Venus is Cazimi, and essentially dignified by sign rulership in Libra would be enough reason to justify the construction and consecration of a talisman, but there are some additional factors, which make this election a very important one.

• The Moon is conjunct the Arabic Part of Fortune

• There are no hard aspects between the Sun/Venus conjunction and any of the other…

Matt Kahn | Have You Ever Thought This?

You are never out of alignment with your journey. You can only be out of alignment with ideas. If you have ideas about your journey, they are the very ideas you are working so hard to stay in alignment with. If you could satisfy the insistence of such ideas, there would no longer be a need for such ideas to occur. And so, ideas try to keep themselves intact by using the consciousness of its true nature to find ways to show you how out of alignment you are. It does this because you innocently believe you can be out of alignment in some way.

There were probably instances from your past where you were treated a certain way for being out of alignment with a parent’s desire, expectation, or the rules for the family. And while such experiences were attempting to help you cultivate an inner moral compass – sometimes in a rather disheartening way, perhaps that also left you feeling as if every step of your journey is entirely up to you. Or that pleasure is the reward for doing things right and punishment is the presence of pain or absence of pleasure, helping you build a case of wrongdoing that only ideas may suggest.

As time goes by, you will remain subservient to these ideas, like vengeful inner gods to try to keep them happy until you allow each bubble of an idea to dissolve, simply by seeing each closely-guarded belief as an idea (most-likely a reflection of someone else’s idea), and nothing more.

In the end, the process will have served you well.

You will have become immune to using the power of ideas against yourself, having spent so much time exhausting yourself and giving so much of your energy to maintaining an alignment that is already your natural state, and not an effortful creation of any kind.

You may not always feel the way you wish, and it may seem like you are light years away from where you hope to be, but all the while, you have never been less than fully aligned with a journey that has so much to teach and share, regardless of the ideas arising. If there is something to be in alignment with, it is the trust, faith, and guidance of heart-centered consciousness that always shows you how each moment is enacted by the perfection of wisdom, always in support of your evolutionary benefit, and not as a result of the circumstances in view.

Once you no longer use the power of ideas against yourself, you are ready to expand your inner healer into an inner artist who was born into a body to use the power of creativity for the greater good of all. This is the transformative power of consciousness in action.

Mother Mary’s message for you

Every one of your prayers is indeed heard, my beloved child. You may not always feel this way since solutions often appear in unexpected places, however, the main thing is that they appear. With this in mind, know that there are better times that are coming your way.

 

I ask that you pay heed to everything you observe, express, think, and perceive because it’s conceivable that you already have the information you’re looking for. In addition, you may also obtain assistance from unexpected persons, signs, publications, or circumstances.

What you need to know

It is critical to realise that unanswered prayers are just as important as those that are responded to. You see, it is when we surrender our goals, desires, hopes, and wants to the divine, we frequently lose sight of what is going on under the surface and in the greater scheme of things. As a result, our unanswered prayer might turn out to be a miracle.

 

Angels frequently respond to our petitions by providing us with thoughts or knowledge in pretty mundane ways. The angels suggest that you take note of everything you observe, think, believe, and feel. Keep an eye out for and welcome any support that comes your way. You absolutely deserve this help.

Prayer for healing

Focus on your breathing and repeat the following, “My darling Mother Mary, with your love and devotion, bless me with the prospect of a new road to happiness. Change and transition consume me now. I am ready to carry out your work here on earth to honour your name always!”

 

“In order to accelerate the process of my regeneration, I offer up all of my anxieties, fears, and pain. When you lead me to new places both inside and beyond myself, I know that I can rely on you. I’m safe because I’ve discovered a place to call home in you.”

Poetry | To The Woman Who Is Slowly Fading Away

To the woman who has lost her spark.
To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.
This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.
You didn’t sign up for that.
Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?
Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.
And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.
It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.
Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that…
they are not your people.
Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.
So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend,
this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy
and no
to things that don’t.
It’s really pretty simple.

Rarest Ever, intact Trojan War mozaic found in Syria and Astrology

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

I always loved Greek Myths. The story of the Trojan War is very famous. Archeologists in Syria discovered a wonderfully intact mosaic depicting the Trojan War along with Amazon’s who fought with them. What was once a myth is now thought of to have been a real historical event. Most myths are based on real things.

“On April 24, 1184 BCE, Greek armies invaded the city of Troy, in modern-day Turkey marking the end of the Trojan War. Here’s the astrology chart for that date and the discovery today chart by transit Note that this is a URANUS return year for this date. Once every 84 years
