Receive

Some people think that receiving is not an action but a state of passivity. This is untrue. Receiving must be an engaged action for it to have any effect.

Many things get in the way of receiving properly: deflecting, denying, rejecting, trying to give back right away, or to give away or pass along what has been received without fully digesting it. All of these responses are understandable. There is so much wrapped up in the idea of receiving. And yet.

Receiving is happening all the time, in many, many ways. You are antennae, attuned to all the vibrations, information, and offerings of the Universe. You can’t help receiving. With this card we encourage you to be selective in your attunement and fully able to take in that which you receive.

It is necessary, of course, to take in food and water, air and light, in order to survive. Many people acknowledge the necessity of love as well, but few practice taking it in.

There is love and beauty everywhere, and it is beamed to you all hours of the night and day. This doesn’t mean there is no pain or suffering, of course there is. But without receiving the healing vibrations of unconditional love, the stuff you are based in, how are you to withstand the challenges of life?

To practice receiving, give yourself a few minutes at a time, find a space where you will be less interrupted, and allow your gaze to soften. Find something beautiful or pleasing to look at. Find something peaceful to listen to. Find a nice smell, a nice taste, a pleasant texture of cloth or skin. Take a few minutes to breathe it in and allow it to diffuse into your cells. Imagine they are plumping up, glowing with the radiance of reception vibrating with health and well-being.

Practice this daily, without rejecting or squirming away from it, without having to share it with anyone else, and eventually you will attain mastery. And then you can work with receiving the things that seem less pleasant to accept, until at some point you will be able to receive the entirety of your life and the world in which it resides. ❀

Knowledge

Knowledge is not what you think it is. Or, at least, it is more than you know. True knowledge has the flavor of wisdom, of instinct, of innocence about it, and it lives in order to be known.

When you have knowledge and keep it a secret, it withers and dies a slow death. Someday your secrets will die with you. What, before then, should you say? Knowledge gains power when shared. Ignorance breeds contempt. With the understanding of the world you have gained – over time and the distance of living – comes the obligation to offer it up.

There are people beside you, behind you, around you, who crave what you know like bread. Feed them so they can feed others who hunger; eventually all will be fed.

Compassion is vital to anything in life, but its knowledge requires practice. Do that. Then teach that. Then share the fruits of the knowledge of mind.

Your knowledge is a gift; offer it, with discernment. Just as you would not give a baby bird to a vicious dog, be careful who you hand your wisdom to. Some knowledge is private and shared only through action, suggestion, or breath. Some knowledge is general, and may be cast over the fields like seed. Some is nascent; you may pass it along and the receiver may not know what to do with it. It’s OK. They will hand it off elsewhere, or tuck it away and one day pull it out to find it finally fits.

Just as you would share your knowledge, remember it is wise to know how to receive. You cannot offer what you have yet to integrate, so take your time, allow it to ferment, and churn, and digest.

Knowledge rises with age, until something appears at the top, available in the precise moment it’s called for. Then skim and gather and form, place it in the waiting palm, and make the world whole, once again. ❀

Intensity

However you slice it, Intensity is always relative. Like the story of how to boil a frog, it depend on what you are used to experiencing. If you are used to a lot of drama and hardship, less intensity will feel foreign, boring, perhaps even dangerous or sad. If you are used to a peaceful life, intensity may be measured in how beautiful the sunset was tonight, and not in how many gunshots were heard near your home.

Intensity has a volume control knob of a sort, but it goes in multiple directions. Intensity is a multidimensional experience, and it all depends on where you stand. Not everyone enjoys intensity, but most people have a kind of intensity they enjoy, or a level at which they feel more alive. Intensity in and of itself is neutral, but the experience of it is always subjective.

When you are looking for intensity, it is easy to ramp it up. If you can’t find it in one place, you can keep moving until you find it somewhere else. If you cannot find the intensity of love or joy or pleasure, you can find the intensity of anger or mischief or running for your life. You can strike out at various targets, intentionally or with whatever comes to hand.

Be aware of the level of intensity you seek, and how you inspire it. Ask yourself what it is you are hoping to find.

You may actually be looking for love. You may be seeking inspiration. Perhaps you are hoping for a response to you, any reaction at all, just to tell you that you are alive, you are visible, you are seen. But be cautious – who do you want to see you, acknowledge you, and why?

Consider both the source and the purpose of your intensity, and notice the methods by which you engage, and the outcome of your approach. When you are easily overwhelmed, intensity finds you without being invited, and you may need to consider better protection for your psyche. When you are looking for just a thrill, you might ask yourself what you are running from, which of your gifts you are avoiding, what inner self you are forsaking in your quest.

There is enough intensity in life for life to flourish. If you have not found your way to harmony with all of it, and to your ability to calibrate for your particular needs, keep experimenting. It is a process without end. ❀

Inside every being lives the same tender heart

While you may feel revulsion, anger, or smugness when you see a difficult person, remember, they too long for love. They may not express it in the most appealing manner, but they wish to be safe and understood and belong to the tribe.

Everyone has been wounded, and everyone is doing the best they can. Each being has advantages and disadvantages; learning to work with oneself is a lifelong practice. Some people are lazy, some are mean, some are unable to be aware, some are unkind, some are frightened, some are out of touch. Some mean well, but cannot figure it out.

Many variables exist. You can understand this because you have had all these experiences as well.

When you are having a bad day, have compassion for yourself. When you are having a good day, remember you are one of many, either way. And when someone really gets your goat, please keep in mind that their heart is tender, just like yours, and like you they wish only to be loved.

No, you don’t have to agree with them. Sometimes you might even need to fight them. But please do not lose sight of your common ground, or else it will be hopeless. If you cannot recognize yourself in your enemy’s face, you still have a long way to go. ✩

Persistence

When something deserves to be done, it might take longer than you think. You might need to take the long view, to wait it out.

There is something to be said for determination, slow and steady, winning the race.

Except there is no race.

This is about the march of time, and how it never paces according to your will. So, time yourself to something else, the level of satisfaction at each day’s end, the tally of how you lived into your ideals, what you learned, who you loved, where the regret and opportunity lay.

Each morning renew your commitment.

Not “this day I will be a better person” or even “I will do better than I did before” but simply, “Here is who I am and what I stand for, and to the best of my ability I will meet myself with all my heart as best I can with what I have to work with in this moment.”

That should be sufficient to get you where you want to go, so that at the end of your life you will look back not with regret, or even pride, but with gratitude and wonder at what richness you were given and gave back, by the mere fact of your singular existence. ✩

Kindness to others without kindness to oneself is incomplete

Kindness to others is only part of the equation. If you cannot find it in your heart to make friends with yourself, then where does that really put you in life? Very lonely and sad, and false, in a way.

You can be the kindest person alive, in the outer sense, but if you have insufficient kindness towards your own follies and foibles and faults, you will never convince anyone of your sincerity. You will never be as trusted as you long to be, for who can be seen as trustworthy when they mistreat their own dear self?

Then those around you live in fear or concern about the day it all falls down and maybe takes them with it.

A house divided against itself cannot stand, and so reserving kindness for those around you and limiting or restricting the kindness you give yourself will make a weak vessel, which ultimately must fail.

Remember, you are as deserving of your own kindness and generosity of spirit as anyone else, even more so. How will you do your good work in the world, if your structure cannot hold, and if you are forsaken by the one who should stand by you each and every moment of your life?

Connection

Connection means all beings meet at the Source. It is not something generated or imagined or perceived; it is factual and cannot be otherwise.

You cannot exist without all who have come before, and all who are currently here, and even those who come later. By “all,” we mean not just people, but dogs and pigs and bugs, rocks and leaves, and everything else. Everything arises from the same cosmic pool of energy, and, after this lifetime, all disperses back to the pool again.

So indeed, you are interrelated, all beings must be. How else could all of this arise? Bring respect and love to your actions, your thoughts, your desires, for together you are building reality.

You must bring what you want to experience. You want love? Bring love. Satisfaction? Cultivate it so you have enough to share.

Longing to feel positive about your place in the world? Shine that light on others, and your experience of it is assured.

Source is unconditional love, and everything – even that which seems distorted – is the product of trying to manifest in a conditional world. It’s not easy to exist here, so be kind to yourself, and all beings, and keep doing the best you can. It all comes back around. And home. You will always come home. ☼

Solitude

As they say, no one is an island. But from time to time, it is useful to isolate your Self, away from all that is known, that knows you, that distracts you from your center. Everyone needs privacy, and the security of alone time, to connect with their inner self.

Solitude is where the source of you resides, and must be visited from time to time. When you lose touch with your sacred inner Self, the fire of confidence grows dim. You lose clarity, insight, and truth, when you go for long stretches of time away from Home.

This Home, inside, is forever available to you, and yet you do not recall it when your days are full.

Solitude is respite, and sometimes lonesome, and always vital to your integrity of Self.

When you visit yourself on the island inside you, rest a while on your
own sweet shore. Even if the rocks are rocky, and the sand gets in your crevices.

Home is where your heart is, and your heart, inside, is Home. ☼

Freedom

Freedom. It does not always mean you can do what you like. It can come from unlikely experiences. You can climb a hill and realize you are free to leap. But gravity will have the last word.

Sometimes freedom comes from recognizing and releasing the past. If you always face forward, or attempt to cover up what has come before as if it did not exist, you will find the rumblings of history disrupting your current events. Freedom in this case is the result of excavation and renovation, rather than denial and full steam ahead.

Freedom is mental, in general. There is bodily freedom of a kind, but the freedom of the spirit is not realized while kept in physical form. The mind, however, is free to roam at will. If you recognize this, and take care to cultivate an open and liberated mind, you will have as much happiness as your mind can hold, regardless of your physical reality.

Those with basic needs taken care of may scoff at this notion, but we tell you the truth. A hangnail bothers an unfree mind much more deeply and destructively than the lack of housing or food bothers a mind that is liberated.

Try freeing your mind, and when you get there, see if you agree. ☼

Grace

Grace is as inherent in your day as sunrise in the morning. You may not see it. There may be heavy clouds, dense drapery, or no windows where you are. But the sun rises, every day, and grace is not far behind.

When you require grace, seek it out. Grant it to yourself, even if you cannot feel it. Grant it to others, even if you don’t know if they deserve it. Grant it everywhere you go, trusting in the power of the light to bestow itself on everyone without question, judgment, or hesitation.

Grace is that moment when the glass did not break, although it fell. The moment you paused before stepping off the curb, so were not struck by the distracted motorist.

Grace is when the child across the room sees you and lights up, for no apparent reason. Grace is when you smile, reflexively, and the other one smiles back.

Moments of grace in the day or night are infinite. If melancholy has taken hold, then the counting of instances of grace will be your salvation.

As you count, grace is drawn to you. Like shining a light on all the magic of the world, you illuminate it for yourself and others. ☾

Origin

Origin is both inside and outside of you. You can stand inside yourself peering out at the light and wonder what is happening. You can be the light, pouring in through the cracks, trying desperately to illuminate all that is locked away within. Anything is possible.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, there was the Oneness. And it decided to become itself more and more, and in doing so it splintered into Soul Groups. Each Soul Group houses many souls. Every soul is connected to their Soul Group and the Oneness. Simple as that.

All the work of becoming now lies on the shoulders of the souls. They go to Earth and other places and times and have lifetimes and experience things and respond to the experiences and have thoughts and feelings and purpose and awareness and consciousness and choices and fate. They make stuff up and believe it. Sometimes they disbelieve that which is factually true. Anything is possible, you see.

The unconditional love of the Oneness endures, expressed through each being on each planet throughout time and space. There is much that can only be experienced through being a soul in a body: loneliness, fear, chocolate ice cream…

Please rest, if you can, in the knowing that you are never alone, that your existence as a human is worthwhile, and that Love, your Source, the Oneness, can never be lost. ☾

Negotiation

Negotiation is the art of filling the space between two things that do not meet. Ideally, there are three elements present. First, respect. Each party honors themselves and their needs, as well as the needs and existence of the other. Second, honesty. Each party must tell the truth about their priorities and limitations, and where they can flex. Third, openness. Willingness to see things a new way, willingness for outcomes not previously envisioned, willingness to embrace new perspectives.

Negotiation is a learning experience. When you enter it, you think you know what is happening and who the others are. You think you know yourself. You may, if the experience is successful, emerge with some different ideas. Approaching it as a growth opportunity, you will move beyond problem solving to a place of evolution, which is always cause to rejoice.

We invite you: come to the table with a low a level of attachment. Simultaneously, understand and acknowledge what is of greatest importance to you. Hold this lightly, but with integrity, and trust your companions to do the same.

Enter into negotiation – whether with yourself, another person, a community or an entity of some kind – with good faith and an uplifted manner. Trust that all will be well, and make it your mission to find that place where everyone meets in ease. ☾

Delight

The emotion of delight is often confusing for humans. There are so many elements to feel all the time, about feelings one is having and whether or not one should. For some reason, over time, humans seem to grow shy about the simple, deep directness of delight.

Delight is fundamental. It is simple. It is safe. It is a blossoming sensation, arising from within the heart and mind. It can be as easy as a laugh, breaking forth in spontaneous combustion of the soul, a little blip of joy escaping and then bursting like a bubble in air.

Delight is sometimes anticipated, which can either increase or decrease the actual experience of delight. Your choice. Your view. Your perspective.

Allowing yourself to be surprised by the world – for some people, that is a challenge. But for the moments when you rest in confidence of the space the world holds for you, any beauty, any connection, any glimpse of the holy nature of existence can bring delight.

It is not often thought of in scripture, but simply to be in the world is the delight of the gods, who cannot fully incarnate because of their nature. They find delight everywhere on Earth. They do not, as some worry, delight in the suffering of mortals. But they do wonder, occasionally, at the lack of delight mortals show.

When did you all become jaded, and tired, and spent? Do you not glance up in your dusty cell to note the fragile beauty of the new-spun spider’s web? And do you not, when she catches a fly, delight? Not for the woe of the insect entrapped, but for the demonstration of the arachnid’s art, and of course, the prospect of their supper. And do you not, for that moment of delight, forget the sorrow of being yourself, trapped in the world?

Delight is the path to liberation, spiders, flies, et al. ❀

Patience

Patience is that thing where you are feeling impatient but you bide your time.

It is the thing where you really want to jump out of your chair, but remain holding your seat.

Patience is when you bite your tongue, not waiting for an opening to say your piece, but hoping for the respite from your own wild thoughts and precarious ego, replacing them instead with a patience and curiosity, a willingness to wait and see what happens next.

Patience is friends with faith and confidence, although not wholly reliant on them for wellbeing and existence.

Patience waits by the door, alert to the comings and goings without needing to interfere.

Patience is aware of the power of patience, the wisdom of patience, and patience is its own reward. ✩

Persistence

When something deserves to be done, it might take longer than you think. You might need to take the long view, to wait it out.

There is something to be said for determination, slow and steady, winning the race.

Except there is no race.

This is about the march of time, and how it never paces according to your will. So, time yourself to something else, the level of satisfaction at each day’s end, the tally of how you lived into your ideals, what you learned, who you loved, where the regret and opportunity lay.

Not “this day I will be a better person” or even “I will do better than I did before” but simply, “Here is who I am and what I stand for, and to the best of my ability I will meet myself with all my heart as best I can with what I have to work with in this moment.”

That should be sufficient to get you where you want to go, so that at the end of your life you will look back not with regret, or even pride, but with gratitude and wonder at what richness you were given and gave back, by the mere fact of your singular existence. ✩

Devotion

Some people think devotion is a state of enslavement, but in our view devotion is a state of liberation.

When you are devoted, it is an unshakable knowing of the truth of your path. Devotion is unwavering, uncomplicated, and free. Devotion is saturation in unconditional wellbeing, resting in the total experience of love.

Devotion is not a mental construct. It does not suck you dry; it fills you up, from the inside out, with energy and the will to carry on. It is not that you feel no pain in devotion – everyone’s stuff is still stuff, after all – but you may not perceive it as suffering. Devotion is confident in all the right places, and as such, no suffering needs to be borne.

The relief of devotion is palpable. No more energy wasted on questioning, worrying, weighing possibilities. The future, while not assured, is of little concern.

Devotion has a way of sharpening concentration, and allowing everything else to fall gently to the wayside. When devotion arises, it knows little else, but with devotion, what is known is everything.

How do you know if you are devoted to the right thing, person, precept, notion, practice, or ideals? You don’t. That is what devotion is for. To set aside the questions. To know. ☼

Awareness

Awareness is a fleeting thing. The tricky part of being human is the tenuous connection with conscious experience. It is easy to disappear, and – naturally – so tempting.

Each small effort that you bring to the awareness of your present moment experience, to life as you live it, to thoughts and feelings and assumptions, all the nonjudgmental discernment that you can bring at any time, helps bring your soul into alignment and manifestation in your human life. So what, you might ask.

If you bring your Self more fully into this experience of being human, you will find more ease in your life. More importantly, you become an even clearer conduit for all the information passing back and forth between this human experience and the Oneness, or All That Is (aka Source, unconditional love energy).

When the transmission goes smoothly, you experience joy and peace of mind, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction. You know, deeply, that you are doing exactly what you came here for, even if you can’t say what that is.

It’s not easy to be human, but with increased awareness it is like the joy of strengthening your physical muscles. You become capable of so much more, with less effort than you thought possible. And, you don’t even have to sweat! ☾

Intensity has a volume control knob of a sort, but it goes in multiple directions. Intensity is a multidimensional experience, and it all depends on where you stand. Not everyone enjoys intensity, but most people have a kind of intensity they enjoy, or a level at which they feel more alive. Intensity in and of itself is neutral, but the experience of it is always subjective.

When you are looking for intensity, it is easy to ramp it up. If you can’t find it in one place, you can keep moving until you find it somewhere else. If you cannot find the intensity of love or joy or pleasure, you can find the intensity of anger or mischief or running for your life. You can strike out at various targets, intentionally or with whatever comes to hand.

Be aware of the level of intensity you seek, and how you inspire it. Ask yourself what it is you are hoping to find.

You may actually be looking for love. You may be seeking inspiration. Perhaps you are hoping for a response to you, any reaction at all, just to tell you that you are alive, you are visible, you are seen. But be cautious – who do you want to see you, acknowledge you, and why?

Consider both the source and the purpose of your intensity, and notice the methods by which you engage, and the outcome of your approach. When you are easily overwhelmed, intensity finds you without being invited, and you may need to consider better protection for your psyche. When you are looking for just a thrill, you might ask yourself what you are running from, which of your gifts you are avoiding, what inner self you are forsaking in your quest.

There is enough intensity in life for life to flourish. If you have not found your way to harmony with all of it, and to your ability to calibrate for your particular needs, keep experimenting. It is a process without end. ❀

Kindness to others without kindness to oneself is incomplete

Kindness to others is only part of the equation. If you cannot find it in your heart to make friends with yourself, then where does that really put you in life? Very lonely and sad, and false, in a way.

You can be the kindest person alive, in the outer sense, but if you have insufficient kindness towards your own follies and foibles and faults, you will never convince anyone of your sincerity. You will never be as trusted as you long to be, for who can be seen as trustworthy when they mistreat their own dear self?

Then those around you live in fear or concern about the day it all falls down and maybe takes them with it.

A house divided against itself cannot stand, and so reserving kindness for those around you and limiting or restricting the kindness you give yourself will make a weak vessel, which ultimately must fail.

Remember, you are as deserving of your own kindness and generosity of spirit as anyone else, even more so. How will you do your good work in the world, if your structure cannot hold, and if you are forsaken by the one who should stand by you each and every moment of your life?

Joy

Joy is found in secret places, not always expressed aloud. Joy is a small thing, a large thing, a sensation beyond description, but you know when it arrives.

You may have noticed that any attempt to generate joy for the sake of joy very often fails. If it is joy you seek, bring joy to others, any way you can. If you do not know how to do this, then ask, observe, watch others, and learn what it is, this thing called joy.

Do not assume about joy. It is a quiet thing. It will let you know when it wants to come play. If you allow it, then you will eventually know it well. If you live your life in such a way that there is room enough for joy to visit, eventually joy will make a home with you.

Make friends with joy, nourish joy, and introduce joy to everyone you know. But you cannot command joy.

Joy does not come at anyone’s beck and call.

Joy is the result of a joyful life, not the cause of it.

Do not confuse the initial impulse with the outcome. ☼

Progress

Progress means movement, usually forward. Sometimes you need to go back to go forward again, because of an error, or unforeseen circumstance. This, too, is progress.

Progress is also inevitable. It can mean the glacier creeping along towards the ocean at a pace of an inch every few years. It can mean the fast retreat of the glacier, in response to its current experience. Progress does not always mean things get better. It does not always mean things go according to plan. And it rarely means things go the way you think they should. Have you noticed?

And yet time marches on. Things do progress, in the sense that things change and do not revert to an original state (whatever that would be) or at least not a state without evidence of what has occurred. Movement and memory, time and space, everything elastic and yet never quite returning to its particular shape. This is the nature of progress.

It happens whether you want it to or not, so you might ask yourself, “How do I get along with this movement, or stuckness, this evolution, or this resting place? How can I Be in this world of time and space, when in fact I am a multidimensional being of light and love?

Good questions. Keep asking. ☾
