    Its Been Awhile

    Its been awhile...since I've spoken
    Its been awhile...since I've written
    Its been awhile...since I've typed
     
    Well, my friends...its been awhile
    ......................................................
     
    A friend sent me a reminder; a "just incase you forgot" reminder.
    I've said this before and i'll say it again,
    When i ask the right question in the right way...I always get Just what i need.
    I'm surprised at what i forget sometimes (and probably shouldnt be)
    These are some good words i thought should be shared with everyone.
    ......................................................................................................................
     
     
    It does not matter how your life "seems", the important fact to
    grasp initially is that whatever we are experiencing now we have
    attracted to us by our thoughts - every single time - no exceptions.

    It is absolutely crucial to accept responsibility for your
    perceived situation, and to never, under any circumstances, lay the
    blame on anyone else, or ascribe it to such superstitious notions
    as "chance", "bad luck" or "misfortune". From the moment we arrive
    and start our conscious thought processes, even as a baby, we are
    creating our own reality.

    So the very first thing to do is to accept the responsibility that
    you are blessed with as a conscious, intelligent, perfect being
    and that you have created your situation through wrongful
    thinking. Here are the 5 steps to turning your situation around:

    Step 1: As part of this crucial first step, apologise to yourself
    by saying "I am sorry". It is extremely important not to state what
    you are sorry for, because that will attract more of the same,
    rather simply, time and again, say "I am sorry".

    Continue to do this until you actually feel sorry, and have thereby
    accepted the fact that you have indeed created your reality with
    your thoughts.

    Step 2: The next step in turning your life around is to stop
    allowing negative thoughts.

    Every time you sense a negative though that is not consistent with
    your objectives entering your consciousness, immediately say
    "Cancel!, Cancel!, Cancel!..." and for as any times as is necessary
    until the thought dissipates. It is better to say "Cancel!" aloud,
    but saying "Cancel!, Cancel!, Cancel!" in your Mind is adequate.

    Keep practicing this for as long as it takes to cancel all negative
    thoughts, or at least until you can cancel them instinctively.

    Step 3: Next decide what you do want in life - this is extremely
    important. When you have decided write it down in the present tense
    in as much detail as possible, for example "I have a
    beautiful........" and write down everything you desire and provide
    the date or year you wish to see this by, while making it
    believable. At the end of your letter to God say "thank you God for
    delivering this to me" or words to that effect. Then put your paper
    away somewhere and forget about it.

    Step 4: Next start focusing on your desire as if you have it now.
    Take time each day, just before and after sleep is an excellent
    time, to remain totally relaxed and play your desire in your Mind
    like a movie with you as the central point of focus - never from a
    "third party" perspective. At the end thank God and know that you
    have it Now - beyond any possible doubt. And then go about your
    daily routine. If ever a negative thought enters your Mind, say
    "Cancel!, Cancel", Cancel" immediately.

    Step 5: Search the Internet or catalogues for pictures that
    represent your wishes and print them and cut them out if on paper.
    Get a large sheet of cardboard and stick these pictures on your
    board, and then place a picture of yourself in the centre. Write
    under the pictures - "my new home", "my new car", "my exotic
    vacation" etc. and look at your board as often as possible - again
    particular just before or after sleep. This is called a "Vision
    Board".

    Never attempt to decide how your wishes will be delivered. Your own
    Subconscious Mind is infinitely powerful, and communicated directly
    with Universal Mind, and together can bring any experience into
    your experience.

    Know, beyond all doubt, that The Source, of all Creation, the
    Universe in all its realms, including the physical Universes each
    with there multitudes of galaxies, suns and planets, many of which
    support life or every possible kind, all with incredible abundance,
    variety and perfection, has no issues in delivering your wishes,
    which are nothing by comparison because:

    "For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and
    your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather
    seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added
    unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good
    pleasure to give you the kingdom". Luke 12:30-32

    The Master is saying - do not look without for your needs. Realise
    God within, and know God is the Source of All that Is. Know that God
    knows that you have "needs" in your physical experience. So seek
    your needs within, and all those things "shall be added unto you"
    by the Pleasure of God, The Source of All that Is.

    Never look to the ephemeral, transient illusion of the physical
    world to supply your needs. Have true "Faith" and "Belief" in your
    own Divine nature, and your intimate connectedness with The All.

    And never confuse blind faith, or an abstract belief of religion,
    with the true Faith and Belief as taught in the Bible. True Faith
    and true Belief are not theological, they are Spiritual.

    During the day do high vibration things such as playing your
    favourite music, releasing your favourite fragrances, looking at
    happy photos etc, as well as your Vision Board" and feel
    Unconditional Love for everything - be happy and joyful.

    Follow these 5 steps, and know, beyond all doubt, that whatever
    experience you have created for yourself will turn around
    completely, and you will know that there is nothing you cannot be,
    do or have. During the day do high vibration things such as playing
    your favourite music, releasing your favourite fragrances, looking
    at happy photos etc, as well as your Vision Board" and feel
    Unconditional Love for everything - be happy and joyful.

    The "Laws" of the Law of Attraction

     
    I've Been asked a few times now on how the "Law of Attraction" works. My answer is usually very simple - Ask for it, Visualize it and be Mindful, and get ready to Receive it. If they still look confused, i usually say  "speak to Roxxy, she is a Master of this". Truth is, I'm focused elsewhere and feel i dont have the time to explain...yes, i am very selfish or self absorbed most of the times. I do have a conscience though and feel it is time to try and explain the fundamentals of this Law. So let us take a look at five of the main fundamentals for success with The Law of Attraction.

    1. Feelings: Your feelings are your "emotional guidance system", your "feedback mechanism" from the Universe which you should  recognise, listen to and follow at all times.

    Very often when people hear about The Law of Attraction they perceive it as a means of grabbing as much as possible, regardless of whether they really need it or not. The truth is it is important to be in vibrational harmony with your wishes.

    For example; there have been many cases of people winning vast fortunes on the lottery (MY Mother), but within a couple of years end up with less than they had before the lottery win. The reason for this is that they were not in vibrational harmony with the money they won.

    The very first thing we need to do therefore is to know whether we really need whatever it is we might think we need. This is one of the first hurdles many people need to overcome; actually knowing, what they wish to attract as opposed to being motivated by the ego, or a negative emotion such as greed, jealousy or "keeing up with the Jones's"

    The best way to find out whether you are in vibrational harmony with your wishes is to send out the thought and await the response.

    If for example you think you need a new car (Roxxy), visualise the car you would like, wait a few moments, and then ask yourself how you feel. If you feel joyful then you are in harmony with your car, if you feel indifferent or receive no response at all then perhaps the car is not for you after all.

    We all have an "emotional guidance system"; if we feel good about something we are in harmony with it, but if we feel bad about something then we are not in harmony with it. We should only seek to attract those things that we are in harmony with. (dont let it bother you if most things dont give you a good feeling...there is alot i'm not in harmony with either, and this actually tells me alot about what i need and what i want)

    By paying attention to our emotions and being guided by the inner feedback received, we will always be in harmony with our wishes, our life, and the people around us.

    2. Detachment: Many people having performed a law of Attraction exercise soon start thinking about the object of their wishes throughout the day, and worse, later, start to worry if it does not arrive.

    In order to attract anything, it is important that the Energy you send out is consistent. If for example you wish for a new car, but every time you think about it the colour, style, make etc. changes, then you are sending out conflicting Energy vibrations causing you to not harmonise with your wishes and create a "solid" thought form.

    This is like watching your favourite program on television while someone is constantly pressing the buttons on the remote to switch channels (and i use to do this alot lol); your vision of the program will be very fragmented. Your thoughts are like a tv. When you are focused, you are on one channel. When you are not focused, you are switching through the channels. In order for you see the complete picture you must remain on the same channel.

    3. Faith: It is crucial to know (witout a doubt) that the Universe will deliver every time. If you have any doubts, worries or fears, You will be effectively saying to the Universe, "I do not believe you can deliver this", and that will become the reality. Faith in the process is fundamental and a part of that faith is understanding. If for example you are manifesting a parking space in a certain place at a certain time and when you arrive it is ready for you, it does not mean that the Universe physically lifted another car out of the space you wished for in order to make it available for you. In the matrix of the Universe the space was always available. If the space was occupied by another car before you used The Law of Attraction, then the matrix of the Universe rearranges itself in such a way that the other car was never there.

    There is no "space" or "time" only Now. Every single thought re-arranges the entire matrix of the Universe so whatever we focus on is always reality in the present moment of now. If you genuinely wish for a new car and are emotionally attached to it, there was never a "time" when you did not have that car, because your thoughts, emotions, imagination etc. are the "real thing", while what you experience on Earth is the physical manifestation of the real thing constructed from atomic particles and ultimately pure Energy. (Quantum Physics apply)

    4. Inspiration: Many people believe that if they use The Law of Attraction to attract for example a new car, the car will suddenly be created out of nothing as in these movies where a "wizard" waves a magic wand, chants a "spell" and something instantly appears in a dramatic flash and puff of smoke.

    The truth is the Universe operates through Mind, in this case the minds of men. So in the case of the new car, a series of events will be orchestrated by the Universe that will allow you to have your car. It is not for us to ask or guess where the car came from, that is the domain of the Universe Who knows the big picture.

    An extremely important aspect of this process is inspiration. If you suddenly have an inspired thought or feeling to do something, then it is absolutely crucial that you do it without question. If you question or worse dismiss that inspired thought, you will slow down or shut out completely a channel of manifestation.

    As humans on Earth living in a temporal physical shell we call a "body", most people can only see "life" from a very narrow, temporal, physical  perspective. The Universe on the other hand can "see" the entire picture and always knows the most efficient route to manifest your wishes.

    So whenever you receive an inspired thought, feeling or even dream, always act on it immediately and without question, even if it does not seem to make sense at the time.

    5. Gratitude: This is extremely important!

    Gratitude does not mean for example in a religious sense "giving thanks to God" by means of words and "songs of praise", it means literally feeling intensely grateful.

    Let me make it clear that we should not  feel grateful because "God", the Universe has an inflated ego and demands or expects words of "thanks", "praise" or "appreciation" of some kind, these are all human characteristics that religion ascribes to God. (understand?)

    Gratitude puts us in harmony with what we have and what we desire.

    Gratitude recognizes the true nature of ourselves and of the Universe and ensures that we never "take things for granted".

    Gratitude recognizes the fact that everything we have, we have attracted to ourselves from the infinite abundance of the Universe. (We ourselves are infinite, unlimited, and Divine creators.)

    Gratitude during conscious creation is a powerful characteristic for success. By feeling intensely grateful for already having and enjoying the object of our wishes, we reinforce the fact that we already own it, are enjoying it, and that we have the God-given power to participate in the ongoing process of creation as a Divine, infinite, immortal Spirit.

    So always know there is nothing that you cannot be, do or have. The Energy of being, doing and having is feeling emotion, detachment, absolute faith, inspiration and above all gratitude.

    Your objective is not to mechanically practice these only when you desire something, but to make it a way of life in which you will effortlessly attract all you could possibly wish for in abundance.
     
    WOW. I really didnt think i would be typing this much. I found myself going into my journal alot through out this to expand upon my answers. It was not as simple as I would like to make it out to be. I dont have all this down pat myself so you may want to start journaling or writing it down yourself. I hope this helps out those who have been asking. I must say thankYou. I forgot how much there actually was. My simple answer is essentially right but i never would have come back to look at the bigger picture of this law unless you people hadnt asked (and i hear Caroline right now "You've so much to remeber"). The more you make it a part of your everyday life, the faster your dreams will start manifesting. GOODLUCK!

    Things Women should know about Men

     
    My Brother from another Mother sent me this today. I laughed so hard! Then a great quietness came over me. This is so true! (most of it).
    So i am posting this not to be funny or to be a guy but more for giving women an understanding they may not have had before. Seriously!
    So i'm gonna let yous' in on some Guy Stuff...grab a pen Females and take note.
    Once again this is not to offend anyone, just educate...i mean we men have taken the time to try understand you, why not give us some equality and try and understand us....
     
    ThankYou Brother
     
     
    Things Women should know about Men 

    1. Men are NOT mind readers.

    1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
    You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
    We need it up, you need it down.
    You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

    1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
    or the changing of the tides.
    Let it be.

    1. Crying is blackmail.

    1. Ask for what you want.
    Let us be clear on this one:
    Subtle hints do not work!
    Strong hints do not work!
    Obvious hints do not work!
    Just say it!

    1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

    1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
    Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

    1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.

    See a doctor.

    1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
    In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

    1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one

    1. You can either ask us to do something
    Or tell us how you want it done.
    Not both.
    If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

    1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

    1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

    1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
    Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

    1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
    We do that.

    1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
    We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle, besides we know you will bring it up again later.

    1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

    1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

    1. You have enough clothes.

    1. You have too many shoes.

    1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

    1. Thank you for reading this.

    Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
    But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

    say what yo mean, mean what you say, you never know what news you'll get today...a friend sent me this; thankYou friend

     
     
       Around the corner I have a friend,
     
    In this great city that has no end,
     
    Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, 
     
    And before I know it, a year is gone.
     
    And I never see my old friends face,
     
    For life is a swift and terrible race, 
     
    He knows I like him just as well, 
     
     As in the days when I rang his bell.
     
    And he rang mine but we were younger then, 
     
    And now we are busy, tired women and men. 
     
    Tired of playing a foolish game, 
     
    Tired of trying to make a name.
     
    "Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on him 
     
    Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
     
    But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
     
    The distance between us grows and grows.
     
    Around the corner, yet miles away, 
     
    "Here's a telegram," "my friend died today"
     
    And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
     
    Around the corner, a vanished friend.
     
    ............................................................................................... 
     
    Remember to always say what you mean. 

    If you love someone, tell them, don't be afraid.
     
    Express yourself!
     
    Reach out and tell them what they mean to you.

    Because when you decide that it
    is the right time it might be too late.
     
    Seize the day. Never have regrets. 
     
    And most importantly, stay close
    to your friends
     
     

     

    Careful what you Teach

     
     
    People will treat You

    I was so self absorbed at that time it kinda slipped by me but it did resurface 3 nights later
     
    At first, what a struggle. I had all these pre frabricated stories in my mind why i shouldnt even look into this.
     
    I mean, i hadn't even looked it up yet and i was tellin myself not to...had a million of them - should've been there, you would have laughed
     
    Now here's the knee slapper. I was born an April Fool...now if that were a reason...(IDIOT LOL).
     
    ANYWAYS, i'll let you enjoy, its a very well written story.
     
    ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................
     

    The Fool's Journey is a metaphor for the journey through life. Each major arcana card stands for a stage on that journey - an experience that a person must incorporate to realize his wholeness. These 22 descriptions are based on the keywords for each major arcana card. The keywords are highlighted in the text. A card's number is in parentheses.

    The Fool

    We begin with the Fool (0), a card of beginnings. The Fool stands for each of us as we begin our journey of life. He is a fool because only a simple soul has the innocent faith to undertake such a journey with all its hazards and pain.

    [picture of Card 0] At the start of his trip, the Fool is a newborn - fresh, open and spontaneous. The figure on Card 0 has his arms flung wide, and his head held high. He is ready to embrace whatever comes his way, but he is also oblivious to the cliff edge he is about to cross. The Fool is unaware of the hardships he will face as he ventures out to learn the lessons of the world.

    The Fool stands somewhat outside the rest of the major arcana. Zero is an unusual number. It rests in the exact middle of the number system - poised between the positive and negative. At birth, the Fool is set in the middle of his own individual universe. He is strangely empty (as is zero), but imbued with a desire to go forth and learn. This undertaking would seem to be folly, but is it?

    The Magician and the High Priestess

    On setting out, the Fool immediately encounters the Magician (1) and the High Priestess (2) - the great balancing forces that make up the perceived world. It is a feature of the material universe that as soon as we name some aspect of experience, we automatically evoke its opposite.

    The Magician is the positive side. He represents the active, masculine power of creative impulse. He is also our conscious awareness. The Magician is the force that allows us to impact the world through a concentration of individual will and power. The High Priestess is the negative side. She is the mysterious unconscious. She provides the fertile ground in which creative events occur. The High Priestess is our unrealized potential waiting for an active principle to bring it to expression.

    The terms positive and negative do not imply "good" and "bad." These are human distinctions that do not apply in the tarot. The Magician and the High Priestess are absolutely equal in value and importance. Each is necessary for balance. We may view the negative as our Shadow, but without shadows, we cannot see the light, and without a ground of potential, we cannot create.

    The Empress

    As he grows, the Fool becomes more and more aware of his surroundings. As with most babies, he first recognizes his Mother - the warm, loving woman who nourishes and cares for him. He also comes to know Mother Earth, who nurtures him in a larger sense.

    The Empress (3) represents the world of nature and sensation. A baby delights in exploring everything he touches, tastes and smells. He cannot get enough of the sights and sounds that enchant his senses. It is natural to delight in the abundant goodness of Mother Earth who surrounds us with her support.

    The Emperor

    The next person the Fool encounters is the Father in the figure of the Emperor (4). He is the representative of structure and authority. As a baby leaves his mother's arms, he learns that there are patterns to his world. Objects respond in predictable ways that can be explored. The child experiences a new kind of pleasure that comes from discovering order.

    The Fool also encounters rules. He learns that his will is not always paramount and there are certain behaviors necessary for his well-being. There are people in authority who will enforce such guidelines. These restrictions can be frustrating, but, through the patient direction of the Father, the Fool begins to understand their purpose.

    The Hierophant

    Eventually, the Fool ventures out of his home into the wider world. He is exposed to the beliefs and traditions of his culture and begins his formal education. The Hierophant (5) represents the organized belief systems that begin to surround and inform the growing child.

    [picture of Card 5] A Hierophant is someone who interprets arcane knowledge and mysteries. On Card 5 we see a religious figure blessing two acolytes. Perhaps he is inducting them into church membership. Although this image is religious, it is really a symbol for initiations of all kinds.

    The child is trained in all the practices of his society and becomes part of a particular culture and worldview. He learns to identify with a group and discovers a sense of belonging. He enjoys learning the customs of his society and showing how well he can conform to them.

    The Lovers

    Eventually, the Fool faces two new challenges. He experiences the powerful urge for sexual union with another person. Before, he was mainly self-centered. Now he feels the balancing tendency, pictured in the Lovers (6), to reach out and become half of a loving partnership. He yearns for relationship.

    The Fool also needs to decide upon his own beliefs. It is well enough to conform while he learns and grows, but at some point, he must determine his own values if he is to be true to himself. He must start to question received opinion.

    The Chariot

    [picture of Card 7] By the time the Fool becomes an adult, he has a strong identity and a certain mastery over himself. Through discipline and will-power, he has developed an inner control which allows him to triumph over his environment.

    The Chariot (7) represents the vigorous ego that is the Fool's crowning achievement so far. On Card 7, we see a proud, commanding figure riding victoriously through his world. He is in visible control of himself and all he surveys. For the moment, the Fool's assertive success is all he might wish, and he feels a certain self-satisfaction. His is the assured confidence of youth.

    Strength

    Over time, life presents the Fool with new challenges, some that cause suffering and disillusionment. He has many occasions to draw on the quality of Strength (8). He is pressed to develop his courage and resolve and find the heart to keep going despite setbacks.

    The Fool also discovers the quiet attributes of patience and tolerance. He realizes the willful command of the Chariot must be tempered by kindliness and the softer power of a loving approach. At times, intense passions surface, just when the Fool thought he had everything, including himself, under control.

    Hermit

    Sooner or later, the Fool is led to ask himself the age-old question "Why?" He becomes absorbed with the search for answers, not from an idle curiosity, but out of a deeply felt need to find out why people live, if only to suffer and die. The Hermit (9) represents the need to find deeper truth.

    The Fool begins to look inward, trying to understand his feelings and motivations. The sensual world holds less attraction for him, and he seeks moments of solitude away from the frantic activity of society. In time he may seek a teacher or guide who can give him advice and direction.

    Wheel of Fortune

    After much soul-searching, the Fool begins to see how everything connects. He has a vision of the world's wondrous design; its intricate patterns and cycles. The Wheel of Fortune (10) is a symbol of the mysterious universe whose parts work together in harmony. When the Fool glimpses the beauty and order of the world, if only briefly, he finds some of the answers he is seeking.

    Sometimes his experiences seem to be the work of fate. A chance encounter or miraculous occurrence begins the process of change. The Fool may recognize his destiny in the sequence of events that led him to this turning point. Having been solitary, he feels ready for movement and action again. His perspective is wider, and he sees himself within the grander scheme of a universal plan. His sense of purpose is restored.

    Justice

    The Fool must now decide what this vision means to him personally. He looks back over his life to trace the cause and effect relationships that have brought him to this point. He takes responsibility for his past actions so he can make amends and ensure a more honest course for the future. The demands of Justice (11) must be served so that he can wipe the slate clean.

    This is a time of decision for the Fool. He is making important choices. Will he remain true to his insights, or will he slip back into an easier, more unaware existence that closes off further growth?

    Hanged Man

    Undaunted, the Fool pushes on. He is determined to realize his vision, but he finds life is not so easily tamed. Sooner or later, he encounters his personal cross - an experience that seems too difficult to endure. This overwhelming challenge humbles him until he has no choice but to give up and let go.

    At first, the Fool feels defeated and lost. He believes he has sacrificed everything, but from the depths he learns an amazing truth. He finds that when he relinquishes his struggle for control, everything begins to work as it should. By becoming open and vulnerable, the Fool discovers the miraculous support of his Inner Self. He learns to surrender to his experiences, rather than fighting them. He feels a surprising joy and begins to flow with life.

    The Fool feels suspended in a timeless moment, free of urgency and pressure. In truth, his world has been turned upside-down. The Fool is the Hanged Man (12), apparently martyred, but actually serene and at peace.

    Death

    The Fool now begins to eliminate old habits and tired approaches. He cuts out nonessentials because he appreciates the basics of life. He goes through endings as he puts the outgrown aspects of his life behind him. He process may seem like dying because it is the death (13) of his familiar self to allow for the growth of a new one. At times this inexorable change seems to be crushing the Fool, but eventually he rises up to discover that death is not a permanent state. It is simply a transition to a new, more fulfilling way of life.

    Temperance

    ["picture [picture Since embracing the Hermit, the Fool has swung wildly back and forth on an emotional pendulum. Now, he realizes the balancing stability of temperance (14). He discovers true poise and equilibrium. By experiencing the extremes, he has come to appreciate moderation. The Fool has combined all aspects of himself into a centered whole that glows with health and well-being. How graceful and soft is the angel on Card 14 compared to the powerful but rigid ruler in the Chariot (Card 7)? [Note] The Fool has come a long way in realizing the harmonious life.

    Devil

    The Fool has his health, peace of mind and a graceful composure. What more could he need? On everyday terms, not much, but the Fool is courageous and continues to pursue the deepest levels of his being. He soon comes face to face with the Devil (15).

    [picture of Card 15] [picture of Card 6] The Devil is not an evil, sinister figure residing outside of us. He is the knot of ignorance and hopelessness lodged within each of us at some level. The seductive attractions of the material bind us so compellingly that we often do not even realize our slavery to them.

    We live in a limited range of experience, unaware of the glorious world that is our true heritage. The couple on Card 15 are chained, but acquiescent. They could so easily free themselves, but they do not even apprehend their bondage. [Note] They look like the Lovers, but are unaware that their love is circumscribed within a narrow range. The price of this ignorance is an inner core of despair.

    Tower

    [picture of Card 16] How can the Fool free himself from the Devil? Can he root out his influence? The Fool may only find release through the sudden change represented by the Tower (16). The Tower is the ego fortress each of us has built around his beautiful inner core. Gray, cold and rock-hard, this fortress seems to protect but is really a prison.

    Sometimes only a monumental crisis can generate enough power to smash the walls of the Tower. On Card 16 we see an enlightening bolt striking this building. It has ejected the occupants who seem to be tumbling to their deaths. The crown indicates they were once proud rulers; now they are humbled by a force stronger than they.

    The Fool may need such a severe shakeup if he is to free himself, but the resulting revelation makes the painful experience worthwhile. The dark despair is blasted away in an instant, and the light of truth is free to shine down.

    Star

    [picture of Card 17] The Fool is suffused with a serene calm. The beautiful images on the Star (17) attest to this tranquility. The woman pictured on Card 17 is naked, her soul no longer hidden behind any disguise. Radiant stars shine in a cloudless sky serving as a beacon of hope and inspiration.

    The Fool is blessed with a trust that completely replaces the negative energies of the Devil. His faith in himself and the future is restored. He is filled with joy and his one wish is to share it generously with the rest of the world. His heart is open, and his love pours out freely. This peace after the storm is a magical moment for the Fool.

    Moon

    What effect could spoil this perfect calm? Is there another challenge for the Fool? In fact, it is his bliss that makes him vulnerable to the illusions of the Moon (18). The Fool's joy is a feeling state. His positive emotions are not yet subject to mental clarity. In his dreamy condition, the Fool is susceptible to fantasy, distortion and a false picture of the truth.

    The Moon stimulates the creative imagination. It opens the way for bizarre and beautiful thoughts to bubble up from the unconscious, but deep-seated fears and anxieties also arise. These experiences may cause the Fool to feel lost and bewildered.

    Sun

    [picture of Card 19] It is the lucid clarity of the Sun (19) that directs the Fool's imagination. The Sun's illumination shines in all the hidden places. It dispels the clouds of confusion and fear. It enlightens, so the Fool both feels and understands the goodness of the world.

    Now, he enjoys a vibrant energy and enthusiasm. The Star's openness has solidified into an expansive assurance. The Fool is the naked babe pictured on Card 19, riding out joyously to face a new day. No challenge is too daunting. The Fool feels a radiant vitality. He becomes involved in grand undertakings as he draws to himself everything he needs. He is able to realize his greatness.

    Judgement

    The Fool has been reborn. His false, ego-self has been shed, allowing his radiant, true self to manifest. He has discovered that joy, not fear, is at life's center.

    The Fool feels absolved. He forgives himself and others, knowing that his real self is pure and good. He may regret past mistakes, but he knows they were due to his ignorance of his true nature. He feels cleansed and refreshed, ready to start anew.

    [picture of Card 20] It is time for the Fool to make a deeper Judgement (20) about his life. His own personal day of reckoning has arrived. Since he now sees himself truly, he can make the necessary decisions about the future. He can choose wisely which values to cherish, and which to discard.

    The angel on Card 20 is the Fool's Higher Self calling him to rise up and fulfill his promise. He discovers his true vocation - his reason for entering this life. Doubts and hesitations vanish, and he is ready to follow his dream.

    World

    The Fool reenters the World (21), but this time with a more complete understanding. He has integrated all the disparate parts of himself and achieved wholeness. He has reached a new level of happiness and fulfillment.

    The Fool experiences life as full and meaningful. The future is filled with infinite promise. In line with his personal calling, he becomes actively involved in the world. He renders service by sharing his unique gifts and talents and finds that he prospers at whatever he attempts. Because he acts from inner certainty, the whole world conspires to see that his efforts are rewarded. His accomplishments are many.

    So the Fool's Journey was not so foolish after all. Through perseverance and honesty, he reestablished the spontaneous courage that first impelled him on his search for Self, but now he is fully aware of his place in the world. This cycle is over, but, the Fool will never stop growing. Soon he will be ready to begin a new journey that will lead him to ever greater levels of understanding.

    A Haunting feeling knocks at the door,
    if only to scare you and make you unsure.
    In with the new & out with the old,
    a meaningful story about to unfold
    .

    A series of opposites at a moment in time,
    a glimpse of reality as it starts to unwind.
    Caught in the emotion of fear in your heart,
    controlling the feelings from the end to the start.

    Been there before and it certainly gets old,
    a place we all frequent ...a story untold.
    In toward the new and beyond your threshold,
    fire turned to ashes, your life put on hold.

    Learn how to touch the secret inside,
    as you travel through time with no thoughts in your mind.
    Examine those feelings from stress & hard times,
    and find new directions in the back of your mind.

    ...Or to constantly repeat life with the same dues to pay,
    is like waking each morning on that same Groundhog Day!
    So remember the future ~ now there's an odd twist,
    see through illusion ...just make one wish.

    Feast on the intellect, accept not demand.
    a striking resemblance to new lines in your hand.
    It can't be so bad to accept change and grow,
    karma's the lesson... you reap what you sow.

    You move to new places, designed from inside,
    and it all flows from visions that began in your mind.

    Look in towards the mirror... focus and behold
    see beyond illusion while removing the blindfold.

    Ground Zero - Reality Check - This is Your Life

     
    You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.
    You are the same decaying matter as everthing else.
    We are all apart of the same compost heap.
    We are the all seeing all dancing Crap of the World!
     
    This is your life; it doesnt get any better than this!
    This is your life; and its ending 1 minute at a time!
     This is your Life, good till the last drop!
     
    You are not your bank accnt.
    You are not the cloths you wear.
    You are not the contents of your wallet.
    You are not your bowel cancer.
    You are not your grande latte.
    You are not the car you drive.
    You are not your Fuckin Kackis'!!
     
    You have to give it up!
    You have to realize that someday you will die.
    Until you know that; You are Useless!
     
    I say "Let me never be complete".
    I say "May i never be content".
    I say "Deliver me from sweedish furniture".
    I say "Deliver me from clever art".
    I say "Deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth".
    I say "You have to give it up!".
    I say "Evolve, and let the chips fall where they may".
     
    Where you are now, you cant even imagine the bottom
    Only after disaster can we be truly resurected
    Its only after you have lost everything that you are truly Free to do anything.
     
    This is your Life, it doesnt get any better than this.
    This is your Life, and its ending one minute at a time.
    This is your Life, good till the last drop!

    A Look at Madness by: Kryon

     
     The madness is everywhere. Such dreams of power and annihilation, of revenge and rage, of total destruction inhabit all corners of the globe. Dreams intoxicated with Armageddon and the ecstasy of apocalypse.

    This madness is in Congress, in Parliament and in Al Qaeda. In rebel armies, among terrorists. The same. In the scientists who imagine the bombs and the other weapons of mass destruction. In those who manufacture the weapons, who create nuclear weapons, biological and chemical warfare, and horrors yet undisclosed. The madness of the military people who will use these weapons and will sacrifice the soldiers and the civilians to use them. It is in the press who have both glorified and disguised the madness, in the filmmakers who have gleefully entertained us with the gore of battle and the extremis of suffering, in everyone who is making a profit from the business of war and in the dark fantasies and nightmares that inhabit our secret moments. The madness is everywhere.

    This is the madness of fear and terror and rage, the madness of the closed heart. It is the madness of those who look away.

    This madness was conceived over time but was born into the twentieth century and has multiplied, increased in potency and spread like a scourge and plague everywhere. It is the affliction of those who refuse to know in their hearts the reality of suffering and the reality of war.

    This comes from ignorance, not innocence. From turning away from what must be known. This comes from refusing to hear the stories, from refusing to bear witness, from refusing the intelligence of the heart.

    We could speculate on the cause and way of this affliction, but we do not have the time. We do, however, have the time to remove the barriers to the heart.

    Careful who you are lying to...

     

    Everybody doesnt judge you. But, we all judge ourselves. We all beleive

    people are staring at us, judging us, talking behind our backs etc. Truth

    is, we know ourselves best, and we all do it. We all judge ourselves and

    if there is something we dont like about ourselves, we tend to make it

    right. We are our own worst enemies.

     

    There is no right or wrong way to live. Your way is the true way...but it

    doesnt mean its your neighbors way or your friends or your 

    priests/pastures/teachers way. What ever works for you "Is Your Way".

    Yes i beleive people try and push their beleifs on us and even try to make

    you think theirs is the only one way...but in all truth, it is diferent for

    everyone, and no right or wrong way...just different experiences and

    different truths. 

     

    People want others to follow them,  it feeds there own personal power

    over you. The real power is in you and yours to discover... or give away.

    Beware of society (more than religion) and structure and Be Aware of

    anyone who is or might be trying to help you realize the truth arnd you.

     

    If you wake up everyday and say"MY LIFE  SUCKS"...it probably will...

    change your thoughts. If you go to work thinking your going up against

    the firing squad again... that doesnt sound pleasant. Ask yourself; is

    there really a firing squad...or just confused or confusing people

    approaching you everyday?.

     

    Try and see things for what they really are. We all make up these

    stories. Hell i go out and "take on the big bad world" everyday; but thats

    not what i really do. I go out, look at things (my best friend may not

    understand sometimes) i try and think of a better way to live and i run

     into people with bigger problems than me. The more i talk to them or listen, 

    the more i realize how much we lie to ourselves when we really need to hear

    the truth.

     

    I read alot of blogs and find alot of frustrated angry and confused people.

    Most remind me of myself and i was very ANGRY (and still get at times).

    Not angry at the world, but at myself for beleiving in a media driven

    society and mans laws. I beleived Mans Illusion was the only

    way. IT IS NOT.  And I'm Angry for beleiving in it and lying to myself.

    (BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU LEARN YOURSELF)

     

    People - they do say alot of mean (and sometimes meaningful) shit to me

    but i know its their shit, not mine. They are just venting or trying to confirm

    that mans life is wrong. Even if they pnt. at me or say its my fault...thats

    there own shit. It does remind me of myself but it is theirs', not mine

    (this helps me in those moments).Dont make other peoples realities your

    own - alot of people lie to themselves and others.

     

    Hope this came across  as positive. I'm a little frustrated myself with

    people. But have come to realize, i should be more worried about myself.

    How much of other peoples shit do i want...none. Let them lie to

    themselves. Listening has helped me realize this. i was always

    comparing my life with others...as soon as you do that, its no

    longer your life. What ever you are doing is already correct. No right

    or wrong way. Only diferent experiences and truths.

     

    I think the truth finds you the only way it knows how. What (or who)

    your guide is may depend on what you beleive in. Because of this,

    there is no wrong beleif. The real power is where or what you put

    it in. Understand??? 

     

    Last note - i'm not religous. I am Me...But i am bilingual in a handful

    of beleifs -  just not fluent. It is easy to speak to me. So speak.

    I have so much to learn.

     

    Have a Great Day.

    Peter (AngersWrayth)
