let the wise one renounce the lesser,
having regard for the greater.

Tarot Contemplation – Strength (second day!)

Work ought to be going well.  If you’re looking for work, now that you have the wherewithal and the skillset to find it.  If you’re already employed, and there is room for upward mobility, don’t hesitate to negotiate for what you’re worth.  You might be surprised at the positive reception that you get.  If there’s not room for a raise or promotion where you are now, give serious thought to finding something where there is this possibility, or consider what it would take for you to strike out on your own business-wise.  You may have more options than you typically think possible.

Purification: An Alchemical Process – I AM University

It is not possible to advance on the Spiritual path without going through a process of purification. The word purification comes from the Latin and means “to make pure.“ (“purus“ = pure; + root of “facere“ = to make).  It literally means “free from extraneous matter“. Being an extension of Source, we are — like Source….

Hau’ōli lā Pō’ahā

Aloha e Hau’ōli lā Pō’ahā. Mai hō’oni i ka wai lānā mālie. Ō kā maluhia nō me ‘oe.

Greetings and Happy Thursday. “Do Not Disturb the Water That is Tranquil.”

When you find yourself not enjoying the peace and quiet of a supposed relaxing day, remind yourself not to interrupt your own peaceful thoughts. It’s not always easy but it sure makes for a refreshed soul when life starts back up again. Peace be with you.

Tarot Contemplation – Strength

Strength has rectified itself from a couple of days back, when it was reversed.  This is likely to be a very spiritual time for you, even if you don’t have anything close to a religious belief.  To be truly strong, you must pay attention to and develop each leg of the triad we are made from:  body, mind and spirit.  Be sure you are spending time on all three.  That’s hardest to do when things are difficult.  If you are at a low point today, know that things are very likely to be looking up soon.  This card is a reminder that you are stronger than you think.

Pāli Word a Day for August 24, 2017 — sacca — real, true

Yogā ve jāyatī bhūri,
ayogā bhūrisaṅkhayo.
Etaṃ dvedhāpathaṃ ñatvā bhavāya vibhavāya ca,
tathāttānaṃ niveseyya yathā bhūri pavaḍḍhati.

Wisdom springs from meditation;
without meditation wisdom wanes.
Having known these two paths of progress and decline,
let one so conduct oneself that one’s wisdom may increase.

Ha’awina – Lesson: Accessing The Akashic Records and the Book of Life

A great deal of information is available from the akashic records. Those familiar with the akashic records tend to think of them as a place, like the reference library of the cosmos. However, the akashic records are everywhere, part of the fabric of all things. Everything that occurs is recorded there. Anyone can learn to access this information, at least to some degree. However, the records are quite complex and require a great deal of practice to use skillfully.

But is that your reality? More importantly … are you consistently creating the reality you want for yourself? The Akashic Records can be an amazing resource that allow us to manifest exactly the human experience we want for ourselves – in very real, practical ways.
We Are All Creators of This Reality! We have forgotten the divinity that is inside all of us. We are capable of achieving miracles, but our educational system teaches that matter is the highest there is … We know better now, don’t we? Everything is energy, every emotion or situation is purely energy. We don’t have physical senses to sense emotions, but what we do sense is energy. Ancient civilizations were very well aware of this fact and they were masters in harnessing and directing energy to their will. We must reclaim this knowledge. We are not the victims of this reality: we are the creators of it. We must remember that nature’s natural state is abundance! When something is lacking in the natural world, the eco-system will be out of balance and will not thrive,and only try to survive. This is humanity right now — we are not really living: we are merely surviving.
Regain your ancient power and be in charge of your experience here on the physical plane.

Tarot Contemplation – The Chariot

The Chariot indicates a lot of energy, but not free-for-all energy.  It’s directed, controlled and has a goal in mind.  Today, you are likely to be fairly clear on what your hopes and dreams involve and what you are willing to do to get there.  The Chariot is about determination and ambition, getting things done and testing and proving what you’ve got.  Move forward with whatever you have in mind (and in your heart) and give it your best shot.  Remember, though, that you’ll need to use both your intellect and your heart in order to be truly successful.

Appaṃ vata jīvitaṃ idaṃ!
Oraṃ vassasatāpi miyyati,
yo cepi aticca jīvati,

How short this life!
You die this side of a century,
but even if you live past,
you die of old age.

Tarot Contemplation – The Empress

The Empress is the archetype of feminine power.  She is watery and hard to fathom; mysterious, fertile and sexual.  She augurs a need for us to be in touch with our feminine side, to listen to our intuition and to give priority to our emotions and passions.  She can signify coming abundance.  People are goiing to be more attracted to you than usual, in every sense. You are likely to find people on your doorstep wanting your advice or shoulder to cry on.  This will be beneficial to you because you are now going to be able to see yourself more in the way that others see you:  as someone with wisdom and a lot to offer.  So share your hard-won perspectives on life, know that your wisdom and caring is valuable.

New Moon Solar Eclipse; August 21, 2017 ◉♌

Venus❥Lotus's avatarVenus💎Lotus

“I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.” 
― 
Edgar Allan Poe

A spectacular celestial event occurs on August 21st, 2017 at 2:30 pm ET when our most intimate cosmic bodies — Sun, Moon and Earth — click into place creating a Total Solar Eclipse.

This is the second of two consecutive Leo lunations — a magical bonus round to magnetize our heart’s desire. This extraordinary New Moon also occurs near the powerful fixed star Regulus, the Royal Star – the brightest in the Leo constellation.

“At this Leo New Moon, dare to be vulnerable and wear your heart on your sleeve! Why hold back your true feelings about someone you admire? Or pretend you don’t love something that’s not considered “cool” by the self-appointed tastemakers of the world? What’s really cool is to be unapologetically yourself.” -Astrotwins

ORIENTATION

It is assumed that some introduction, discussion, therapeutic intervention or another process of information gathering has preceded this form of treatment. It is important for the facilitator to have some background and understanding of what is going on with the client and their life. A normal type of intake interview protocol would suffice.

The client needs to know something of what this procedure is about and what their role is in the treatment. Their task is not simply to be passive, but an active participant in their healing process. You will need to educate them about the breathing processes involved in the treatment, particularly the pulsing of the breath at the release phase.

It is important also that the client know what you mean when you instruct them “to go to the source of their distress” and that it is not necessary that they find anything in particular. Whatever…
