Wednesday, May 5th


Isn't this Cinco de Mayo? I think it is. A holiday in Mexico. Anyway, I pulled the STRIFE card today. This is a wand card, a fiery wand card! This card indicates... tension in the day. Conflict! There is conflict. It might be personal. It might be in the world. It could be INSIDE me. I might feel divided inside, wanting two different things. But the card is good, because it means the UNIVERSE is trying to get you to see clearly, and the tool it's using is... CONFLICT . It pushes that tension up. Maybe it's been laying low, but NOW you push it up so you have to face it. STAND UP AND DEAL WITH IT. There is good resistance in the world. You resist REACTION. And you don't want to 'react' to this tension, you want to PROACTIVELY DEAL WITH IT. Get up NOW and DO IT. This could indicated exhaustion because you haven't dealt with the strife, just kept it buried. You are falling. Let go. Don't protect yourself. Feel your feelings. Choose to forgive. Be willing to understand another person's position. Step out of your won needs for a moment. Inside is a ll the power you seek. Be truly powerful means you can be generous to others and listen objectively without creating conflicts.

Power was my card yesterday, Strife and conflict is my card today. The cards go very well together. If you have power, you will have conflict, and you have to face it proactively. It is exciting. Something to enjoy, even if it looks scary. It isn't. You can do it!

These day seems resonant to me of something... can't remember what.

I pulled a card at the near end of the work day.

I got... POWER. I've gotten that before. Asher got Princess of Wands, and Riley go The Hermit.

So what does the Power card mean to me?

As I have grown in my own power lately, by NOT reacting more and more, (thus creating Light) and ALSO by opening to every feeling, taking in all emotions and things in life, and feeling them, not trying to reject them... both of these I think have helped me grow in silent power. Part of the card suggests that this 'power' inside will lead to greater influence 'outside' with others. Once you know yourself, then others have immediate respect for you. This card is a call to power for me and an opportunity to take charge and make a difference.

But there are warnings, when ever you DO gain power inside... and here they are:

Am I abusing my power?
Am i stuck in my Ego?
Do i need to be right?
Am I manifesting my power with integrity?
Do i really know myself or am I just fooling myself?
Am I refusing to explain myself to others?

I think power is a dangerous thing. Once you get a little power, it can make you act like an ass. That is another reason why it's a GOOD idea to have some power. You might need to go through act like an ass stage so that you can LEARN to handle power and be good and open no matter what. Go fearlessly in your power.

It's like the difference between someone who says they will beat you in a game of chess because they are just trying to put you off your game, to intimidate you, or those who honestly think they are going to win and keep that to themselves. True confidence.

On another note entirely I wanted to discuss the concept of love. But I will have to think about it more. :)

Friday, April 30th 2010

Last night before I went to bed I read in David Deida's book about opening and loving, and he challenged his readers to open and love IN LIFE. Turn off the TV and LOVE. Be active in it. Just knowing you are LOVE is good, but it is better to go OUT and love. To love outward. To DO love, not just BE love. I was considering this in the morning, feeling the love, and my heart flowed, and I felt it, and then a phone call came in. You should heard me deal with my customer, I was just calm and cool and full of love. Not that he would have known that consciously though!

Card for the day, shuffle shuffle shuffle, cut cut, okay....

Knight of Disks - The Angel of Family, Goals, and Values

That's a good card for today.

Thursday, April 29th

Today's card was the STRENGTH card, embrace your shadow and heal. Cool stuff. There by you gain strength. Strength from OPENING, strength from loving outward.

Princess of Disks

Today I pulled the Princess of Disks for my card of the day! This is the Capricorn card, with the Angel of Pregnancy and Birth! Which is kind of interesting, because this morning as I woke I was filled with a bit of sadness. You see I have always felt I was suppose to have another child. I've felt this for a long time. When Jennie and I met she felt a pull to have a child. It was weird, but I felt it too and smiled. Not that I wanted a kid per se, but I felt it was right. Suzzanne always told me I had a fourth child on my hand. Anyway, while at our Palmistry Class this weekend there was no longer a fourth child on my hand. Jennie had one child before on her hand, though it seemed blocked or something if i remember right. Not something she had to do. Now that child is totally gone.

And so for all those years... knowing I had a child waiting to come down to be with ME... and now it's gone. I am sad about it. Not going to complain though. Jennie is Jennie. She felt it once, and now just doesn't feel it anymore, or just doesn't want it. And that is that. But I won't hide that I feel a sense of loss and sadness. Who knows, maybe I'll end up adopting a kid in some weird way, so that that child can still come down. But right now it looks like he/she is going to someone else. That's what it feels like.

I failed her/him. (I guess I feel it's a her right now).

So I pull the Pregnancy Birth card today! After feeling that so strongly! Kind of cool.

The positive qualities of this card is the process of giving birth to children, to new ideas, to new possibilities. I now have the new possibility of my future without that child. That might be cool, in that I don't have to be 'tied down' to it but I can't pretend I see that as a 'real' positive. Having a child would have been cool. I could have raised her right, and not had to see her suffer like my first three children have suffered. You know, raise a kid when you are older, and hopefully know more and do a better job! Plus it would have been great to see Jennie have a child, she would have made a great mother. I guess it will be an experience I can perhaps have in a future life, or maybe had in a previous life. It would have been weird being with a woman who was a good mother to her children and stuck with them. To have that family like that is a big part of the hole in my heart.

This just means I need to focus more on the three kids I have. I can't let them go so that I could make it up with another child. Now I have to focus on them, and I think that IS a good thing!!! Tonight I'm going to spend some time with them on the 7 Habits again. GRIN!

Okay, more on the card, you didn't read this to hear about my 'lost' child! This card is about a gentle person, at peace with being who she is, and with the human condition. Sensitive. Protective, independent, and full of life. Surrendered to the natural processes within herself. She holds much compassion and understanding of other's problems and their weaknesses. She tries not to judge others and stays grounded.

That is cool. Not sure if that is someone I will meet today (I don't think I have so far today) or if it's qualities I need to incorporate into myself!!! It is time to become calma nd blaanced in whatever I am choosing to give birth to in my life. If I do'nt find calm and balance, I'll be miserable! Not only should I live, but to live FULLY.

That is a good line, because lately I have been filled with this very thought. Jennie and I sometimes get off track, and it's just life. It's good, but it isn't what I was meant to do. I'm not content with level 2. I just don't like it. I am not made for it. It's too easy and it leads to us being unhappy. I'm willing to make the effort to live exceptionally! I wish I had gone to Vegas. That's what I should have done. I felt it but let things sidetrack me. I will miss some opportunities down there for my business and for personal growth and challenge. I feel bad I didn't go, but nothing to be done now.

We did seal up the going to Hawaii trip! That's exciting!

Am I present in life? Fully breathing in what life has to offer? This is so David Deida. This is what I read about last night and thought about all night long and today. Am I willing to see my own failings and know I am not perfect? Opportunities abound and change is happening as we speak! Fortunate in the ways of Jobs and Money! MAke changes NOW to make more money down the road!

It is a Maybe card!

DEATH

That was the card I pulled today. Somewhere I am dealing with the death of my Ego. Parts of myself are moving on and changing. This is interesting stuff.
