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. ❀

Fruition

Fruition is an ongoing process. It is not only the point where what you wanted to happen, happens. Fruition is everything along the way, and after that.

Each moment of your life is the fruition of all that has come before. If you appreciate or enjoy anything about your present circumstances, then regret is absolutely moot. Because everything up to this moment has contributed to now; this moment is the sum of all your choices and events.

Solitude may be the fruition of your relationships that didn’t work out. That leads to loving yourself, if you let it. Community might be the fruition of all the times you were lonely, until you finally stood up and walked out to find people again. Everything is the fruition of what came before, but you’ll never know exactly what came from what.

If you dislike anything about today, you have no need to blame. Just think for a moment about what brought you here, and contemplate what might take you onwards. Do not denigrate yourself or others; do not blame or guilt or find fault. Every choice, every event, and your perceptions and responses to those things, make up the mosaic of What Is. Here you are, so rejoice.

All your steps that brought you here were acts of faith. Please trust yourself to carry on accordingly. Even if you are unhappy, you have done no wrong that cannot be accounted for and healed. You have also done no right that cannot be undermined, dismissed, or regretted. Rest in confidence, and go on. Everything changes.

You don’t need to be cheerful all the time, but appreciate the fruition of your life. It is waiting right in front of you, low-hanging fruit. If you are hungry, eat of it. If someone else needs it, give it to them. There will always be enough to go around. The elements of your life are fertile, as is the ground. Each moment seeds are being planted, each moment tasks are being tended to, each moment you reap what you have sown. This is called karma, the simple balancing act. ❀

Fear

Fear doesn’t actually get much done.

Fear makes a lot of noise. It pretends to be useful and energetic so you will agree to keep it around. Kindness and love accomplish more in life, more usefully, and do not exact as high a price. In fact, they pay you to let them stick around.

Fear doesn’t help you navigate the world; it often causes trouble, or turns to anger. Disembodied energy – where you came from – is pure love. When embodied, you have something – everything – to lose. The body is the only locus for fear in the universe, therefore, the embodied ones feel fear. Very rarely is fear a useful response to things, but it tries to keep you safe.

Because fear is of the body and the mind, a stronger emotion than almost anything else, it takes up a lot of space and time. So, you might ask yourself if you agree to this rental of your mental world. Do you wish to allow – with all your heart – the fear to occupy such a disproportionate amount of time and space? Most likely you do not.

We recommend you find a time and place to feel your fear, and contain it there. Each morning from ten o’clock to ten fifteen, perhaps, invite fear for conversation and a cup of tea. Then when fear rears itself up at other times, and tries to take control, you can send it back where it came from, call in the antidote (love), and turn your attention elsewhere. Tell Fear it can come back tomorrow; you have an appointment available from ten to ten fifteen.

We know it seems easy for us to say, not being in bodies. Some of you are wedded to your fear. We want to say, remember, it’s OK to get a divorce. It may be embarrassing or put you out of sync with friends and family, but you are not beholden to fear, you do not rely on fear nearly as much as fear wants you to believe. If you say goodbye to fear when it is not useful, you will find you have a heck of a lot more fun*.

*Fun is an umbrella term translating loosely as “enjoying your life and finding it a nice place to be.” ❀

All life is an expression of love

Everyone came into existence on the physical plane as an imperfect expression of unconditional love. Imperfect, because if you show up on Earth, you are living in conditional reality, and therefore cannot easily express your true essence.

This is the basic difficulty of being human, along with the powerful illusion of separateness from each other, and the loss of feeling a part of All That Is. But this is why you are here. You are trying to learn things that cannot be learned in any other way. You are trying to experience and express those aspects of being which can only happen here.

It is not easy, but it is important. Necessary. Because all of this is in fact interconnected, and if you bring conscious effort to believing that, behaving as if it is so, and experiencing your life this way, then you have moved everything forward a step, towards harmony, peace, and truth.

You do not have to do this. But this is what you are called to do. You choose whether or not to answer. Some days you might sleep in. There is no punishment, or shirking of duty. There is simply showing up, waking up, sending out and receiving that which is the true life force, that which we call love. ✩

Transition is suspension between the known and the yet to be revealed

Just as you plant a seed and then trust it to emerge and become its inherent self, you must trust that the unseen, invisible forces at work shaping your world are doing their job.

Manage your impatience as best you can, go about your daily chores, and care for yourself as well as possible, for you must be ready when the time comes, even if you don’t know when or what that means.

The not knowing is part of the joy, and also the frustration. We understand.

You are not alone.

Look around you: everywhere there are people and plants and creatures of all types undergoing changes, metamorphoses, alterations.

The caterpillar knows not what it means to be a butterfly. But it spins the cocoon, and dissolves inside it in good faith, nonetheless. ✩

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. ✩

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. ☼

Communication

There are many ways in which beings communicate. Some use words or sounds, some visual or gestured cues. Some simply walk away or towards you. Some will be silent and still. Everyone – all beings – communicate with energy, and even if you want to deny it, you receive the energy as well.

When you trust your own perceptions and are well grounded and finely attuned, you will read beings and situations accurately, and will be able to respond with good cheer. When you don’t have experience or confidence or discernment, even the most explicit information given in your native tongue will seem foreign or impossible to interpret.

Try to be open and listen with all your faculties. Some information is given on the breeze. Be like a snake, taste the air with your tongue. Allow all you perceive to enter your consciousness, and then rest for a while, to let it settle and make itself known. In this way you are less likely to jump to conclusions, cause offense, or take umbrage.

Even if the process takes only seconds, the beats between communication and reception and response are hallowed ground. Sacred interactions happen there, in each moment. And, in that place, you meet your own sacred selves as well. ☼

Effort

Effort is not what you think. Sometimes it is giving the old heave ho, but more often it is gentle, sustained intention. Effort means not giving up.

Effort means putting one foot in front of the other, when no apparent reward exists, when nothing is guaranteed. You keep going because you said you would, because going forward is the only way out, because effort brings fruition, whether or not you live to see it.

Effort is not drudgery. It is a good day’s work, an honest living, the purpose-driven activity of the intentional mind. It is not always breaking a sweat. It does not always include a sore body the following day. And it hardly ever means injury.

There is such a thing as effortless effort, which means the precise measurement has been taken and no more and no less is applied. This ability comes through much practice, and of course through many experiences of too much and too little and the timing being off.

When you are in the flow of things, effort is not off-putting. When you are committed to survival, effort is not a thought. Effort is just what is done.

Depending on circumstance and your state of mind, it could be uplifting and exhilarating, or it could be a drag, or both. ☼

Emergence

Restrictions are not what they seem. The more solid they appear, the less power they have over you. The time is coming – here it is now! – when you will discover yourself emerging.

Not unlike the butterfly. Once it was a caterpillar who, for reasons unknown even to itself, saw fit to create a cocoon. It spun the structure around itself and then dissolved. What else was there to do?

And yet the day came when the structure thinned and the daylight shone through and before it could give a second thought, the butterfly emerged.

Now, many people believe the butterfly to be beautiful, more desirable, superior to the worm who spun the sac. But how would it even exist, without the original worm?

No butterfly ever emerged who did not have a caterpillar past.

So, love the whole arc of your story, and don’t worry about the pace of things or what you are supposed to do now.

Remember, even a butterfly has no idea, at first, what to do with its wings. ☾

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. ☾

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! ☾

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. ❀

Ground

Ground is where you come from and where you shall return. Ground is what holds you, every day, in your life on this planet. Ground is where you go when times are tough, when you require sustenance, when you need a rest. Home. Here. Now. Ground is where you are born.

Ground waits for you, supports you, is available to you no matter what chaos is raging around, above, or inside. Ground is where you send misery to be composted. Ground is the practice of making sure you don’t short out, that your circuits can hold all the power you need, that you won’t burn up or burn down. When you are afraid of anything, go to ground.

Sending your roots into the earth is an idea whose time has come. It is a recognition of your relationship to Home. Here is the place you took form for this lifetime and here is the life you have borne. This is the time of existence in 3D form. Here you are, and here you stay until the day you are gone. Before you came here, groundwork was laid for you. When you depart, ground will reabsorb your bones.

Ground has the capacity to take the unused and transmute it to beget something new. No matter the age of your soul, you are born from the ground of all that came before, in your mindstream, your lifetimes, the history of your soul, and the people into whose legacy you come. You bring with you your intentions and beliefs and trials, with which to test yourself. Here you are and here you stay. On this earth. This ground. Right now.

Ground is the basis for everything here. Your body is earth. Your heart. Your mind. The idea of ground is the dirt you have assimilated into the bones of your being. Ground is the structure on which your being rests.

Just as a painter, a gardener, or a builder prepares their ground, so was this ground prepared for you. The vast open plains of your lifetime. The seeds, the colors, the brick. What you need is here within you. To remind yourself of who you are, you simply touch the ground. ❀

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. ✩

Your purpose here is to become yourself

It is a common question among humans – why am I here? What is my purpose in life? It’s very simple, really. You came here to be this person that you are, and one way or another you will get the job done.

The question is beautiful. Please, never stop seeking meaning for your life.

The basics, you know: kindness, generosity, honesty, humor, love. The details are tricky, the execution sloppy at times, but you keep going, becoming, and growing, into your being, your life, your skin.

We love you very much, and all your foibles, too. Don’t worry so much. Things are coming along just fine. When you can make improvements, we have every confidence that you shall. In the meantime, try to enjoy the view.

Please understand a salient point: you have destiny, and you also have free will. Destiny means you have a plan, and it is engaged, and you have options, to follow or to alter the course. Mostly you will follow the plan, though there may be some detours along the way. So, you can relax. And free will means you might not get everything done. You might decide to go another way sometimes. This is perfectly allowed. ✩

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. ☼

Effort

Effort is not what you think. Sometimes it is giving the old heave ho, but more often it is gentle, sustained intention. Effort means not giving up.

Effort means putting one foot in front of the other, when no apparent reward exists, when nothing is guaranteed. You keep going because you said you would, because going forward is the only way out, because effort brings fruition, whether or not you live to see it.

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. ☾

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. ☾

Amplify

To amplify is to take what exists and make it more so. You can amplify a feeling or a thought; you can amplify a reality or an imagined experience. Some times appear more amplified than others. That’s just how it is.

If you aren’t aware of what is going on, within you or around you, you can add to the chaos and fear in the world through your attention. When it gets fixed on a sadness or an anger, and you dwell there, or engage in a test of willpower, those elements will be amplified. If you attend to a flower or a raindrop or a frog, that is what will be amplified. If you bring awareness to the fundamental love that runs in your veins, the resonant energy out of which you are created, then that is what you will amplify out into the world.

That which you amplify becomes more so, and informs the shape of the world. When you want a solution, be careful not to amplify the problem as you perceive it. Note the problem, of course, but focus on solutions. Keep in mind that one solution is never enough; nothing is ever that simple. Keep in mind also that you are not required to solve the world’s problems alone. Instead, we recommend that you amplify the experience or the framework of solving, into which input from many sources may be received and out of which many types of solutions may emanate.

Amplify the qualities you wish to have more of in the world, not the narrow one-time solutions or reasons or approaches, but the energy of solving, the energy of rationality, the energy of approach. Bring in the essence of the healing activities you seek, and ground them. They will grow, exponentially. They will amplify.

It is like shining a bright light on everything. Brightness, as well as illumination, as well as that which is illumined, they all grow. ❀

Perfectionism: you’re doing it wrong

Perfection is not an ideal, dear ones, but a deadly, insidious disease. It kills dreams, it kills hope, it kills spontaneity. It damages relationships with self and with other, and encourages the growth of fear, grasping, and controlling behaviors.

In no way is the Perfect your friend.

In fact, although you find the idea a bit comforting – that there is someplace to end up that is unassailable, of course it’s a lovely idea – in fact it will only and always and every time let you down.

It doesn’t hold. It doesn’t remain.

Perfection happens in a fleeting moment, and dissolves again in the rapid blink of an eye.

There is no ground of perfection on which you can take a stand.

It is not right or good or infallible. It is only a breath, passing through.

Like this one.
And this next one.
And once again. ✩

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. ☼

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. ☾
