Numerology/Astrology for 12/1/16

12/1/16 is the number 6. The number 6 calls out to the spirit of St. Hildegard to support you in your continuing journey forward in this life. Hildegard’s visions caused her to see humans as “living sparks” of God’s love, coming from God as daylight comes from the sun. Sin (dark energies) destroyed the original harmony of creation. And it was Christ’s redeeming death and resurrection that opened up new possibilities. What is dying within you right now? When you willing lay your old life on the alter of destruction that is how your soul is redeemed. Within you is that spark and it is up to you to figure out how to allow that spark to grow and expand so that it touches all those you love. While there is very forward-looking, resilient energy with us now, with Chiron stationary and turning direct today, there can be some emotional vulnerability. Emotional truths about matters you’ve been avoiding or confused about begin to emerge now and in the coming weeks. Expect these truths to not be comfortable but they serve to motivate you to take appropriate and potentially new action. Mars forms a trine with Jupiter today, and you are brave, direct, and confident. You are looking for new challenges today. This can point to taking action to improve yourself or better your life. Do your best to be optimistic and enthusiastic, certain that your actions will be well-received or will lead to better circumstances, and your positive attitude can attract winning situations now. Be careful because your more adventurous and competitive sides can emerge now.

What does your life stand for? What will be you legacy and what is it that others will remember the most about you when you are gone? When you die what will be the defining moment of this life that you will recognize as a moment when your soul shone through with such power and courage that it will give you the momentum to propel yourself past the domain of fear and into the next level of conscious expansion. I have said it before but I will say it again, that I believe we are all down here on this planet to learn to overcome fear. This dimension is filled with things that cause you to contract and to make you small. You are beings of light and love and it is your personal challenge to find out how to move through the fear that you have chosen with this DNA and this body in this lifetime. I was blessed that the guides and angels told me this when I was very young and that truth has been one of the guiding principals of my life. I recognized that I was afraid of everything. I was afraid of change, doing things wrong, having people be upset at me, disappointing others, failing, not getting to my goals, not being able to find my courage at the critical moment, etc.

I know that each of us have all these fears and have been working on finding ways to expand beyond the limitations the fear creates in our world. I remember going on my first fire walk and standing in front of the coals and asking for permission to walk. Now, you are not supposed to walk until you get a clear “Yes!” in your head. So over and over again, I walked up to the burning coals and even from 6 feet away I could feel my skin burning and the heat choking the air in my lungs. And each time I stood there asking permission, the fire showed me the many places in life where I had not had the courage in the face of fear. Movie after movie of my life showed me the multitude of places that the fear had overridden the courage inside my soul. Each time I could see the collapse and shame from not being able or willing to stand up for someone or something. Even when I knew what was right, there were moments I failed to show up to my potential again and again. And because of that others got hurt. Others suffered because of my unwillingness to stand up and speak the truth and to be a beacon of love. Each of those moments were tests from the divine and God to help be find courage to do what was right over what was convenient. The lesson was to listen to my heart and the deeper principals of life and love over the words of others or following the herd mentality.

Finally, there was a moment when something shifted inside of me. And now, I spoke in my mind to the fire and I said, “I am going to walk across this fire even if you burn my feet. I am not going to allow fear to define this life for me.”

And then I heard the fire say, “Then walk.”

And I walked across those hot coals and I remember that it felt like walking across popcorn. No heat, no pain, just the sensation of walking on popcorn.

When I got to the other side I had a revelation. Nothing on this planet is designed to hurt you. If fire will not hurt you then everything in this reality is just an illusion. It is like we are in a big holodeck (like on a spaceship).

In that moment I understood how gurus could sit and meditate in the middle of crocodiles. How your perceptions add to and help co-create this world in which we live. Where we are in agreement is where the world appears to be consistent. Where we are different is where we fight and create conflict. And even within that reality, each person is actually in their own bubble of perception which clouds their judgment and shapes their world and therefore their reactions, struggles, and responses. This is an amazing world in which we live. I believe that this world was designed perfectly for each person to learn to work through fear.

-->

The fear of this dimension is never going to go away. What will happen is that you will finally see through the illusion of your own fear and step out of this reality completely. This is a world that creates war and conflict. This is a world that creates suffering and pain. When you begin to awaken you understand that and then you have a choice. That choice is to look at what you are willing to do that will define your soul as to what you stand for. Are you willing to confront how the external reflects your internal state of being and find the courage and strength of your soul that exists in the domains beyond fear. If you are afraid of this dimension just think how terrifying all the others will be once you move beyond this experience.

Numerology/Astrology for 11/30/16

11/30/16 is the number 5. The number 5 is again attempting to get our feet firmly on the ground and to find the doorway to healing and personal transformation. The path ahead is rocky, hilly, treacherous, and filled with unknown twists and turns. But you have this one path and that is the path that you must walk. Each person will feel challenged in the way that is aligned with his or her karmic lessons. All paths lead home. Some are faster and some are slower. It is up to you to determine how quickly this difficult time will take. Choose willingness over resistance. Choose to open and listen to all positions and perspectives and recognize the suffering of others even in the face of your own suffering. No ones pain is more important than another.  With the Sun forming you must consider your spiritual needs first, which might at this point seem to contradict your plans and goals; or you may need to confront the ways in which reality is not measuring up to your ideals. It is time to find ways to incorporate imagination and spirit into your life. Know that this energy can create problems feeling motivated. This influence takes away all security and all sense of certainty. You can either go with that flow or resist it and feel lost and without direction. Concentrating on artistic or spiritual pursuits is better than focusing on things that require straightforward, factual thinking because right now nothing makes any sense. Chiron is stationing direct, exact tomorrow. Launches of new projects should probably wait. The Moon is in Sagittarius all day.

You cannot open a closed mind. You cannot open a mind that is defending itself. Understand that defensiveness is an indication of a deeper internal conflict is happening. Being “right” in our world is a very important thing and to have validation makes a soul feel good about themselves. But learning to defend that position in the face of obvious distortions, over time, always becomes more and more difficult.

My father used to say, “People most of the time don’t change. Most of the time what you see is exactly what you get.”

It is our illusions and projections of change onto others of our own internal darkness and our desire to make that emptiness whole again inside that creates an atmosphere of self-deception. You are not defending that person’s actions on the outside, you are defending your own desire to evolve and change your own darkness into consciousness. I support the journey of each person to heal his or her own darkness. I support and understand you wanting to defend your ability to evolve and change. Now, it is time for you to separate your own personal journey from a projection that you have on another person. Stop defending a person who is doing things that cause others obvious harm. Stop defending a person who lashes out like a small child when they do not get their way. Stop defending a person who is clearly only interested in their own welfare and not the integrity of the institution that they are supposed to be defending.

I had a dream last night and it was about a bunch of politicians all rushing around like children with those Big Wheel Tricycles. They all had out of proportion heads and small child bodies and they were yelling and whining just like 2 year olds wanting their way and pushing and punching the other kids to get what they wanted. I remember even in the dream thinking, “This is what we have come to as a country. We have people in charge still on and evolutionary level where they are on the playground pinching, punching, and scratching the others in order to claim dominance. None of these politicians ever got past the 2 year old stage of development and now they are going to run the country from a perspective of that immature place. We are a country with a lot of people in charge with big heads, big egos, and only a desire for power and to win.”

Like the Avatar movie as the main female character (Neytiri) said to the human (Jake Sully) in the avatar body, “Don’t Thank! You don’t thank for this! This is sad, very sad only. All this is your fault. They did not need to die. YOUR FAULT! Your fault. You’re like a baby making noise. You don’t know what to do! Stupid! Ignorant like a child!”

This is our country right now and these are our leaders. It is sad….very sad.

Numerology/Astrology for 11/29/16

11/29/16 is the number 4. The number 4 once again attempts to help us find a new balance. (Which has been hard to accomplish under these circumstances.) Holding the duality in your soul in perfect balance is going to take practice and fortunately you are going to have a lot of time to do just that. Regardless, it is all about your life, your choices, your actions, and your karma that is what you will be working on. Never has that been more obvious than now. The external world will do what it is going to do. You will have to do your best to maintain the truth and values that allow your soul to progress forward and not allow external circumstances to pull you backwards into the dangerous past and history that has caused so much suffering. The world is going through the throws of a major death and it is up to you and the connections you have with those you consider your spiritual family to join together and hold true to each other and find the way to be in alignment and keep open conversations where all feel heard. That does not mean you will get the answers you like. That does not mean everyone will agree with you. What it does mean is that each of you will be confronted with the delusion of your slant and the projection of your unhealed shadow. Remember, if you find anger coming back at you, then deep down inside you are angry. It is time to go look deeply at how your choices are a reflection of that anger even if your higher functioning mind believes that you are not angry. No one wants to look at the dark energies inside and how they erupt in your life is going to cause you to have to really look deeper inside than you have ever done before. If you find yourself being afraid, notice where you have been pretending that you are fine and not afraid. How has fear constricted you into playing it safe and not putting your essence out there because of fear of rejection and ridicule? This is a level of social acceptance that is a place of brain development that in many has not matured into a place of center and wisdom yet. This is a wonderful moment to allow that maturity to begin and evolve. You will be a better person by allowing yourself to see the opposite not as a problem but as a piece of information that is essential for you to find a healthier inner and outer balance. The New Moon occurs this morning at 7:19 AM EST in the sign of Sagittarius, and a new cycle begins. It's a time when finally you might be able to focus on some of the constructive traits of the sign of the Archer, which are optimism, enthusiasm, adventurousness, honesty, and independence. Take a moment to consider how to incorporate these qualities into your life. Now it is important to make a conscious effort to focus on the goals ahead that will increase your knowledge and awareness. When you are armed with truth it gives you the courage to expand your horizons, and gain confidence and optimism through a broader perspective. You can too easily get lost in the false news on the internet, but with this potent Sagittarius energy, you can find ways to get to the truth whether that is what you want to hear or not. With that information you can nurture your faith, hope, and vision. Because Sagittarius thinks in big terms, be careful to not overdo your expectations that you have on yourself, others, and the world situation. With the New Moon in a square relationship with Neptune in Pisces on the Nodal axis this will get magnified. Venus squares Uranus today, presenting a potential challenge or struggle. Values and tastes may clash, and group activities may suffer as a result. Impulsive attractions to both people and material goods can lead you astray. Avoid impulse buys at this time. Some instability, restlessness, and rebelliousness is possible in romantic relationships. You may not see eye to eye, and you might be taken off guard by unexpected events. You may struggle with freedom versus intimacy issues at this time. Truth will win regardless of if it shows up in the freedom area or the intimacy area. Hold off on decision-making with regards to finances, as there is a tendency to act on a whim rather than reason. However, Venus sextiles Chiron, and there is a simultaneous drive for intimacy and sharing. You are finally beginning to see the beauty in human weaknesses.

As we move into the holiday it is good to remember that we are going into the darkest time of the year and as such those with seasonal depression disorder and other mood challenges that this can be one of the most difficult times of the year for many. The recent events have pulled many into places of despair that they have never felt in a long time and I have tried to do my best to reach out to those and get them out of the house and moving in directions that shift the focus off the fear and anger and into more constructive patterns and behaviors. This year it is particularly difficult and so staying present to the suffering of others and helping them through it when it is appropriate is a good thing to pay attention to. Just remember that so many are hurting, don’t spread yourself too thin. You have only so much energy and time to give when you also are working on your deepest self. Be aware of if you are using “rescuing” others as an avoidance of your own inner work.

Numerology/Astrology for 11/28/16

11/28/16 is the number 3. The number 3 is attempting to help everyone reframe the negative to the positive. But the divide internally and externally has never been more obvious. Inside you is a side that is divine and there is also one who is a tempted energy that cannot help but express what you are feeling. We see the split inside and that becomes magnified in the external world. Each of us is attempting to learn to find the balance between the light and the dark, the love and the hate, the fear and the compassion. Unfortunately the healing that needs to happen is not easy or quick and so you are going to be learning how to hold that duality right in front of your face for quite a while. Be patient with yourself and others. You are attempting to break free of the intense emotional drama that has been the last two plus days as we come out of the Dark Moon in Scorpio. There is a deep and dark purging of energies that have been hidden in this Moon energy that is within you. You have to decide and define your values and ask the question, “What can you let go of? What position are you hanging onto? You cannot keep holding this much energy, anger, and pain. Yes, it needs to move. Yes, you need to let it be puked out of your body because this negativity that you are holding inside is very toxic and must be released. You have to break free of the emotional traps of that you are hanging onto. You have to find a way to look higher and above this energy that wants to pull the world into more suffering. It is time to look ahead and somehow we have to find how to stand in joy even if you are feeling all this intensity. Do not let the duality pull you out of balance. It is going to be very difficult. It is going to take until Monday to break out of this terribly upsetting place. Notice the story is shifting. Notice that you are in a deep and painful ending. Notice that Venus has come off of Pluto but it is also squaring Uranus. You have to find relationships that help us define who we really are. The Moon is in Scorpio until 3:46 PM EST, after which it transits Sagittarius. The Scorpio Moon is observant, strategic, emotional, and intense, and the Sagittarius Moon is exploratory, philosophical, and spontaneous. The Moon is Balsamic today, and with a New Moon occurring tomorrow morning, you will want to finish up loose ends. It's best not to start anything new during this phase of the Moon, as it is a time of endings. Reflection is favored over innovation now.

Quote

In relation to the chaos and upset over this election. Teal Swan is a teacher who supports people in feeling through what they are feeling fully and gives permission for what each person feels.

“The reason that somebody is not taking action out of fear is that they do not have the capacity to hold the space for that fear. And that happens when we grow up in a society that does not allow us to feel emotion. We learn that we can take action even if it scares us. But we are never going to be able to get the whole world to take action even though it scares the hell out of them. Demonstrate by example that there are those who do have the capacity to hold fear and take action also. This is an emotional awakening for the planet. Fear is an accurate way to feel in this circumstance.”

We are all on the fast track of learning and we have no choice but to look at the collective consciousness that has created massive global upset all at the same time. Now this is not surprising because of the astrology but lets just say that the personal hits that each person feels regardless of their choices or positions is pretty equal on both sides of the fence. Each of us is being used as a tool for global awakening. Refusing to tell yourself the truth about your choices and actions is a choice. That choice is simply showing you where you have fallen asleep and that part is attempting to awaken and come back into your consciousness. It forces you to look at your deep-seated anger and rage that you have allowed to fester within. Now, please know that this is true on both sides of that fence. Each side has been sitting on huge emotions and unwilling to look at them so now we have this huge mirror showing us the parts of ourself that we did not want to look at. Regardless of if you feel righteous in your position, you are angry, hurt, and upset. It is not about what the others are saying that oppose your position. It is whether you can hold that strong of a reflection of deep internal divide in your core and work with it. What others say that triggers you is what you believe about yourself. There is a huge chunk to swallow. If you know in your core that you are a good person then what others do or say will not matter because you know the truth all the way to your core. But if you are upset and hurt by the words and anger that is being spoken by others then you are also angry. You cannot hide behind righteous indignation. I have a favorite phrase that I remember when I am in these situations. It goes like this; “The meaning of my communication is the result I produce.” That means that if you think you are being reasonable but someone reacts in anger at you then you are angry. Take a look at that mirror. It is hard to stomach and swallow but that is the very bitter pill all of us have to look at to move forward. It means that you might be clever enough to think that you have worded things in a reasonable way but deep down someone hears a very different thing. That is because 80% of language is non-verbal. That is a huge amount. Meaning that others read your tone, body language, the negation in the angle of your head and mouth, they see the intensity in your eyes, and they feel the rigidity of your body as it move into defensive postures. So regardless of your carefully constructed words that defend your position and actions there is a very real and raw undercurrent that is also loudly communicating to others. That is the reflection that you cannot see. That is the reflection that you have to deal with that is a not nice part of yourself. Can you learn to love that angry voice inside your body? Can you learn to accept and allow others to see your “dirty laundry”? Can you allow others to see the real you, not the fabricated and carefully constructed you? This is a time for vulnerability. That is what I see the great teachers doing. They are horrified with what has transpired but they are very forthcoming and real about their own process to find a new balance and to understand what is happening and how this is moving each person towards a new understanding and awakening to a deeper and truer self. No it is not fun to see so much anger out in the world. No it is not fun to see so much fear in the world. But honor and admire those who are showing that deep and vulnerable part of themselves in ways that are their attempt to move into balance and to learn to hold that huge duality that they feel inside and outside in equal proportions. If you are not doing that, if you are not telling the truth, if you are not showing your vulnerable self, you are not doing this moment in time and wave of change justice. This is a unique moment to move quickly past your old self and discover a very new you but you have to be willing to be very raw and real with what is going on inside of you. You cannot grow in a vacuum. You cannot expand truth if you do not allow the lies out. It is just the nature of this dualistic world.

Suzanne Wagner Poem - The New World Order of America

The New World Order Of America

--> What has happened to the world I knew?
In a moment of time away it flew.
Into a cuckoo’s nest of distorted anger and hate.
Into a world where those negative people found an open gate.
While in our illusion we had so safely sat,
The darkness of the world snuck in like a rat.
In the Civil War we fought for all men to be free
People fought and died on the ideal of equality.
But those that had the hate in their heart
Did not let it go so that anger could depart.
Instead they hid it deep in the darkness of their chest
And let it rot, fester, and continue to detest.
What frightens me the most is that when we look back
The pain did not heal it just turned a darker black.
It survived the generations and was passed through time.
It lives in the genes and the DNA like a toxic slime.
Then as it grew it began to infect
Others who were naïve and had a feeling of neglect.
It was so subtle at first that they did not see
That they were becoming an instrument of an atrocity.
I know that this is how the light shows us the dark
That we ignored and refused to remark.
But now it is here and it is a tough road ahead.
It is a darkness that has taken over and is wanting to spread.
It is up to you to find your own way.
It is up to you to not be afraid.
It is your choice where you will stand.
When the forces of darkness attempt to command.
We each have a choice. We each have a path.
We each have a soul and our own personal karmic map.
But what I know is that the battles I have fought
In my past I can feel as knots.
Those knots are the places where I sold out in fear
Those knots are the karmic warning to speak up when others jeer.
This moment attempts to pull us back over a hundred years.
To a place where the darkness inside others justified death and tears.
It has already begun and the damage has split the country in two.
It will take even longer now to attempt to undo
What one man whose desire for power and hate,
Took us off the cliff of sanity and fair debate.
You are here for this moment in time
To save the world from his lies and war crimes.
You have to stand up for what you believe.
You have to love regardless of the hate you perceive.
You have to own the shadow in you that you see in him.
Your longing for personal power allowed you to help him win.
There is no easy answer and no quick door.
This is a type of primal suffering and uproar.
That you have not seen at any point and time.
It is a throw back to when powerful people used others to do their crimes.
Where you stand and what you will do,
Is completely up to your courage and karmic due.
If you stand in the place of love and light
If you want to protect the land and what is right.
I will stand with you and protect your back.
I will face what comes and together we will crack
A column of light to pierce through that dark
To show the way for others to find and reclaim their heart.

Numerology/Astrology for 11//27/16 - Plus Personal Blog

Numerology/Astrology for 11/27/16

11/27/16 is the number 2. The number 2 indicates that the duality is still swirling in your mind and in your energy. Learning to hold your own personal duality in balance takes great skill and practice. Learning to love that inside you is a saboteur and/or darker force that has been trying to get your attention can be a very difficult pill to swallow. You see on the outside what you cannot see on the inside. When the outside becomes so aggressive and obvious each of us needs to take a look at how deep some level of denial has gone within us. You can no longer turn away from the reality tv that has become your life. It is going to be painful to witness and your obvious distortion is now going to be played out in such a strong way that I hope each and every one of us can find the comical and ridiculous reflections as a way to cope with the harsh truth. The Moon is in Scorpio all day, encourages your ability to draw upon past experiences to improve your future. The Sun forms a minor challenging aspect with Uranus today, however, and you may feel an urge to take action but don't know where you are headed in your life. Unexpected changes in plans or events can test your patience, and you might feel a bit out of control. However, this moment is designed to stimulate you to try new approaches, and break you out of the patterns of your past behaviors that no longer serve you. This transit could offer you the drive to do something new, but avoid making hasty major decisions for the time being.

In coming together as a country we need to learn to communicate our feelings and express our choices and actions to others. Where you keep secrets is an indication of guilt and a deeper knowing that your choice was perhaps not in alignment with your core values and deepest self. It is difficult to then communicate with others because you have to tell the truth to yourself. It is always the most difficult when you have to acknowledge your own limitations and how you have fallen into patterns of fear. It is easy to blame and project that you feel attacked. Owning that you first attacked yourself and disregarded some deeper knowing is the first step to healing and awakening the power that has been waiting to trust you and show you your magical self.

Numerology/Astrology for 11/26/16

11/26/16 is the number 10. The number 10 indicates that it is time to make a major shift and even though you do not know where you are going you have to set sail into those choppy and uncharted waters that will be your new life. This is that moment that knowing is not going to help anything so you are going to have to learn to exclusively follow your heart and allow in those people who will support you in finding your own center and truth that is beyond the veil of your ego. The past is complete and the future is forming. Let that excitement stir you into new patterns and paradigms that will stretch you out of the narrow reality of your old self to discover the deepest part of your true warrior nature. When things are easy there is a complacency that happens. When things are difficult you are forced to reach inside to places that you have never gone or have been unwilling to do. Right now, mental discipline and focus of your life force energy is going to be essential to finding those illusive currents in this vast ocean of chaos. This morning, Mercury forms a trine to Uranus, helping you to make more satisfying decisions with a clearer head and a calmer consciousness. This is an opportune time to connect in powerful ways to others and to become a part of organized group activities. You may find yourself diving into communicating online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Your intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from "out of the blue." Original, creative ideas are easy to come by. A square between Mercury and Chiron, however, can point to some lack of confidence and possibly misunderstandings as a result. You should try to avoid doing things that might provoke others at this time. The Moon moves into Scorpio at 3:02 AM EST.

There are other forces at work in this world Frodo besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the ring, in which case you were also meant to have it. Which is an encouraging thought.

This is that moment when you have a choice. You can choose to surrender into the unknown and live each and every moment from your most authentic self or you can choose to believe systems and fall into the place of servitude and complacency. This is a moment when you rearrange your priorities. So many of us have identified with being an American. In this moment, it would be wiser to choose to become a part of the greater human family and a servant to this planet and to all of life. We are being given a gift to step beyond the narrow definition of what it is to be just an American because the definition that we believed it was seems to be outwardly shifting. But the internal dream of what being an American really means as an ideal for the human potential is still very alive and well within you. Grab a hold of that and hold on tight to the principals that have given hope and inspiration to your forefathers to take huge risks and come to this country. Those ideals are what keep people going in difficult times. Those ideals are not just words they are principals that support life and the coming together of the world. This world needs those ideas to continue to thrive. I believe that when you believe in an idea you put energy into that and it does create a matrix that comes to life (in a way). All ideals hit difficult moments. All ideals have times when it seems the principals upon which they are based are going to be snuffed out by those who hold deep anger and hatred inside. It is up to each of us to keep that spark alive. It is up to each of us to not just give up in the face of conflict. It is important to know what you are fighting for. We are coming up on the time of the New Year’s Resolution. My resolution is to embody what it is to be an American Spirit. I choose to be a safe place for others to connect and I choose to not judge anyone by their skin color, sexual preferences or orientation, their religion, or their culture. And I choose to learn to listen to others views and opinions. I choose to become a part of a greater solution and not do things that create more discord and suffering. I choose to believe in myself and the higher teachers and principals that make love the guiding force in this world. I choose to not give energy to any system or person who does not keep a greater overview of love and compassion for all in the forefront of their actions. This I choose throughout all dimensions and timeframes, Aho.

Numerology/Astrology for 11/25/16

11/25/16 is the number 9. The number 9 indicates the potential for some sort of completion and the beginning of a resolution. I so hope the power of this particular number 9 cracks open the hearts and souls of many and that those in power begin to feel beyond greed and self and into the greater world in which we all live. Venus aligns with Pluto and forms a square with Jupiter today. There can be tensions in your relationships as you may feel the pressures of your own ambitions and a fear that you may be running out of time to reach certain goals. However, you should consider that you may be overshooting or expecting too much, too soon. This can also be a time when you don't agree on finances and the basic values with others in your reality. Different beliefs can divide you more if you are not careful. Venus-Pluto stimulates intense feelings. The level of volatility is extremely high and that requires you to take full responsibility for if you are putting more wood on an already alarmingly burning bonfire or attempting to not add more pain and suffering into the mix. Things shouldn't be forced at this time but there are many that will, even though the desire to sway, coerce, and manipulate others may be extremely high at this moment. There is a tendency to want and demand a lot from a partnership or friendship, which may or may not be able emotionally to fulfill at this time. This is a time when we can be especially focused, and perhaps obsessed with making changes in the things that we feel compelled to interact with. With Jupiter involved, your confidence and belief in what you do and say feels strong, but be careful in how you might over commit or push yourself to exhaustion. The Moon is in Libra all day.

Let us pray and have empathy

---

for the pain that others have felt
that was so strong that they have felt
the need to do and say certain things.
Let us pray for finding thanks in the small changes
that can help move us all more to the center.
Let us pray that mankind and humanity
can learn to respect the differences
and love how we are connected.
The mind makes decisions and choices
but it can only understand from the level
of its own awareness.
You have to learn to love
and stay in observance of your emotions.
I know it is difficult to do but right now it is essential
to find our way back to a center
that we can all live with.

We are in a time where getting instantly what you want and all of us going back to a time of sleep and non-awareness is no longer possible. Waking up is hard to do. It is painful to see that there is a huge world that does not see the reality as you see it. Being angry is counter-productive. Denying what you are experiencing is also unhealthy. You have to learn to let emotions move through you and only by doing that do you get to the root of your own pain and suffering. What angers you is what and who you have been in other lifetimes. I know that is a bitter pill to swallow but after all the inner work and past life experiences I have had, I have learned that what I judge, I have been in other lifetimes. Because I denied my own anger and the recognition of the poor choices I have made in my past and have not owned in a way that creates compassion and then therefore resolution, I then trigger when I see it happening in my external world now. If I can love others regardless of my perception of their choices and I can see only in myself in them and I can own my own dysfunction, then I can begin to heal and become less angry with others and their choices.  After all that is the only way any of us grow. We make choices and we make mistakes, therefore in the future we make more conscious choices and begin to see and recognize the impact of those choices and therefore take responsibility for our own actions.

The Nature of Karma

The shortest explanation of karma that I know is: 'you get what you give'. In other words; whatever you do intentionally to others, a similar thing will happen to you in the future. Causing suffering to others (whether you are conscious of that choice or not, whether you are duped by another person or situation or not, whether your action is a result of being deceived or not) will cause suffering to you. And causing happiness to others will result in happiness for oneself.

From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's book Path to Bliss:
"Some people misunderstand the concept of karma. The very term karma or action is a term of active force, which indicates that future events are within your own hands. Since action is a phenomenon that is committed by a person, a living being, it is within your own hands whether or not you engage in action."

The idea behind karma is not only found in Buddhism and Hinduism; it seems that the Bible certainly conveys the same essence.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A person reaps what he sows.

(Gal. 6:7)

All things whatsoever you would that men should do to you,

do even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

(Matthew 7:12)

The idea of accountability in our society is sorely lacking at this time in history. We look outside and in our fast paced society we do not believe that there are consequences to our actions. We see terrible things happening in the world and we have also had terrible things inflicted upon us and we do not see immediate consequences and apparent reciprocity. But never doubt that what goes around comes around eventually. And it shows up often at the most inopportune time when you are the weakest and the most down. 

It is amazing to me to see that even good people cannot escape the karmic seeds of their own self-destruction from other lives even when then have conscious teachers right in front of them that counsel conscious choices, tolerance, and seeing beyond the veil of lies and delusions that the mind loves to become infected and infatuated with. We are destined to believe (from our ego) that we know better than the teacher, that we are right, and that we know what we want. But again, the self-illusions overtake the conscious mind and create actions of consequence that we often do not see the impact of for years and sometimes lifetimes.

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

This set of phrases is how I live my life by. It is also how I look at others. I look at how their thoughts reveal who they really are behind their words. I look at what their actions tell me about their deeper thoughts. I look at their habits and how they reflect the configuration of their soul’s conscious or unconscious progression. I look at their character and see if their motivations are selfless or self-involved. From there regardless of their wealth, fame, power, and influence, I look at their progressed destiny that they are creating in this lifetime and how that will impact them in the future.

As it is the holiday of Thanksgiving, which is a celebration of friends and family. What can you do to create a more positive expression of the karmic seeds you hold inside? How can you take action that will support another person who is suffering? What can you say or do that shows kindness and compassion to another?

Then take a look at yourself and look over the last year of your life. Can you objectively look at the choices and decisions that you have made and see if you have consciously or unconsciously activated positive or negative karma in your own life?

Remember, all choices and actions have an impact in the way your soul’s lessons will unfold. Intention is very important, but negative choices that create negative outcomes and hurt others do impact you even if you had the best of intentions. Obviously, the more positive your intention the smaller the negative karmic impact will translate into your aura but it will impact you none-the-less.

It is time to become more awake to the choices you have made that have created positive action or negative impact on others. Life is really very simple. If your choice actively hurts others, then it is wrong, and there is a karmic seed that is created that you will have to deal with at another time. Regardless of you’re mental reasoning. If your choice is life-affirming and supports all things that the Divine created on this planet then it will give you positive karmic seeds that will help your soul progress in the future and those seeds will be there when you need them the most.

Only by being conscious and overriding the internal anger can you step out of the karmic wheel. So many make choices from the knee-jerk reaction of their own ego and anger. Know that those choices will always have negative karma. You have to learn mental and emotional self-control. It is okay to feel what you feel but choices that have great impact on others and the world need to be made from a place of neutral observation.

Sometimes there are moments when you are unsure which way to turn. But again, it is actually very simple. Look at a person’s words, they tell you the internal mechanism and thoughts of a soul. Look at actions that a person does in a normal unguarded moment when they feel relaxed and see if those are the actions of someone you want to emulate. Because when you support such people you actually take on some of that karmic burden of that person’s actions, as you are energetically feeding into that reality construct making it bigger in this dimension. Look at the person’s character. Do you want to be in association with a person who ridicules others or ignores the suffering of others and only sees themselves? And finally, do you want your destiny to be tied to a person of terrible moral character for many lifetimes into the future?

You have a great gift, which is the power of choice. Your entire destiny is not completely in your hands but your conscious choices can make it more or less difficult for your soul’s progression towards enlightenment.

FATE IS IN OUR HANDS - A PARABLE

In a time long past, there was an old monk who, through diligent practice, had attained a certain degree of spiritual penetration.

He had a young novice who was about eight years old. One day the monk looked at the boy's face and saw there that he would die within the next few months. Saddened by this, he told the boy to take a long holiday and go and visit his parents. 'Take your time,' said the monk. 'Don't hurry back.' For he felt the boy should be with his family when he died.

Three months later, to his astonishment, the monk saw the boy walking back up the mountain. When he arrived he looked intently at his face and saw that they boy would now live to a ripe old age.

'Tell me everything that happened while you were away,' said the monk. So the boy started to tell of his journey down from the mountain. He told of villages and towns he passed through, of rivers forded and mountains climbed.

Then he told how one day he came upon a stream in flood. He noticed, as he tried to pick his way across the flowing stream, that a colony of ants had become trapped on a small island formed by the flooding stream. Moved by compassion for these poor creatures, he took a branch of a tree and laid it across one flow of the stream until it touched the little island. As the ants made their way across, the boy held the branch steady, until he was sure all the ants had escaped to dry land. Then he went on his way. 'So,' thought the old monk to himself, 'that is why the gods have lengthened his days.'
