WhollyMetaphysical Newsletter
What’s in this newsletter: - After my intro and talk about time, we have the inspirational quote for the month, a card reading, members’ special offer and a short piece about Prayer. Plus bits & pieces of interesting information and news.
Hello, my, my time seems to fly these days. What is it with time? Is it really getting faster? Or is it just that we have so much more in our lives these days, and we’re so much busier that we don’t have the slow times in between activities? Or, as in my case, does it have something to do with growing older?
With this ostensible increase in time speed, we seem to have less of it to accomplish our objectives, and this also adds to our confusion about what to do. Sound familiar?
In our case, we don’t live a hustle and bustle lifestyle, yet life does seem quicker somehow. Take this newsletter for example, it really does seem like it was just a short time ago that I was engaged with the last one.
As I sat down to prepare this edition, I felt a little overwhelmed, this whole subject of metaphysics is vast – there are so many facets or subjects to choose to talk about. Which should be first? What is the most interesting, etc?
Well, I took my own advice, (there is a lesson in here, and how many of us listen to all about us, when a moment spent alone in contemplation is all that is needed). As I sat quietly, my mind settled and I found myself taking up conversation with a higher authority (I have used this description for I don’t really know at what level I was communicating).
I was posing the questions about what direction to take with this newsletter, when the answers were calmly dropped into my mind. Just settle back and relax, I was told, and all is in order. Your life and your experience of it, is unfolding as it should. So, take a deep breath and relax and as you do so, it will occur to you what you are to do.
And then as if by magic I knew what was called for and guidance was provided as to what subject matter is the most appropriate.
One message to share is that as much as we would love to do it – it can’t all be done at once.
For as much as we all like to get to the end result, (for example, to have WhollyMetaphysical out there, complete, as we see it) the steps or the process are an essential part of the journey. We also have to allow for lag time in manifesting, the difference between our creative thought and physical reality. Often when we look at a task the size of an elephant, we wonder how we could possibly do it. Well, how do you eat an elephant? Answer, one bite at a time.
What was also to be in this newsletter was a small piece about prayer and to explain a little more about our use of oracle cards. We started out talking about time and its effect on us. By now you should have received an email about the 2012 prophecies. This is a 14 part series of web-casts unraveling the 2012 prophecies, as presented by Drunvello Melchesidek. If you haven’t started watching these yet, do make sure you catch up with them; it will be well worth the effort.
Inspirational quote for the month:
“The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well.”
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Card reading:
Once again I returned to my favourite; Sonia Choquette and her “The Answer Is Simple” cards. As usual I took them between my hands and contemplated a message suitable for our whole community. While shuffling the “Talk to God” and “See the Light” cards flicked out, and read as follows:
“Talk to God”
“Stop talking to your ego. It only confuses you and makes you fearful. Besides, its advice is terrible and never brings the results it promises. Converse with God instead. Instruct your ego to be quiet, and allow your spirit to have a heart to heart with your loving creator. Ask the Divine for direction. Listen with your spirit in the very center of your heart, and don’t permit your ego to interrupt. God is available at any time and in fact has been waiting to hear from you: the real, authentic, Divine, lovable, and lovely Spirit you. Tell god what you need, and expect guidance and support. Your creator loves your spirit and wants you to be happy – even though your ego has been telling you otherwise – and your Spirit loves your Creator and wants the same. It’s only your ego that’s causing problems, so stop talking to it and start talking to God. There you’ll find the answers.”
“See the Light”
“The great illusion of the ego is that it sees itself as less than, or better than, others. This creates a false sense of separation and isolation, cutting you off from the Divine flow of life. The spirit within knows we’re all of the same source and honors self and others equally The ancients called this false sense of ego separation “Stink Eye” – the sad affliction of not seeing the shared beauty of spirit in all. Where in your life are you suffering from Stink Eye? Where do you feel less than or better than those around you? Where are you feeling inadequate or superior? Where do you feel jealous or indifferent? Where are you feeling angry or insecure? This false perception is robbing you of your right to inner piece, and it cuts you off from source.
Every one in your life reflects an aspect of you. If you’re feeling inferior, you’re not accepting your own gifts and strengths properly. If you’re feeling superior, you’re dishonoring the divinity in another. In either case you suffer. Each person in your life mirrors you back to yourself. If your feel less than another, you aren‘t properly valuing your endowments and beauty. If you’re feeling superior, you’re depriving yourself of the gifts of another.
To clear the Stink Eye, look for the common elements you share with those from whom you feel separate. See both the human and the divine in yourself as well as others. We all have challenges and weaknesses as well as Divine Light. Free yourself from Stink Eye by looking with the eye of Spirit instead of the filters of the ego.”

Prayer!
This is another one of “those” subjects, isn’t it? When you bring it up, you know you are expected to conform to the ways of those around you. Even Wikipedia, begins to give you a clue, it has in the main become surrounded by dogma and rules of conduct, to the point we have lost its main function: Prayer is an active effort to communicate with a higher source.
Wikipedia says: “Prayer is the act of addressing a god or spirit for the purpose of worship or petition. Specific forms of this may include praise, requesting guidance or assistance, confessing sins, as an act of reparation, or an expression of one’s thoughts and emotions. The words used in prayer may take the form of intersession, hymn, incantation, words of gratitude, or a spontaneous utterance in the person’s praying words. Praying can be done in public, as a group, or in private.
Most major religions in the world involve prayer in one way or another in their rituals. Although in many cases the act of prayer is ritualized and must be followed through a sometimes strict sequence of actions (even going as far as restricting who may pray), other religions, teach that prayer can be done spontaneously by anyone at any moment”.
Prayer is one of those activities you embrace or run away from. You love it, or you leave it. You welcome it as an activity that is central to your life, or it has little to do with your life.
Love it or hate it, it plays a central role in our lives if we are to live a “Spirit Filled Life” as it is the core of our communications system for our daily guidance.
I find it interesting in light of this article that the card chosen for our reading is “Talk to God.” Especially, as the message I want to convey is that Prayer, in its simplest form, is a conversation with God, just a one on one talk between you and your creator.
You may engage in all forms of formality if you wish, but at its core, all you need really do is talk to god as you would talk with a friend.
In nearly all cases if you need advice, guidance or just a listening ear, if you pray and then sit quietly and wait, you will be given the answer you need.
Bits and Pieces.
Something to think about: “Everything you think about and eat today, is reflected in your body tomorrow!” “What you eat today – walks and talks tomorrow!” Where are your thoughts, inputs, and actions taking you?
A word on Oracle cards. Oracle card decks claim to provide insight and positive outlooks to people. They are theoretically similar to divinatory tarot cards and are sometimes called fortune telling cards.
The cards are designed to guide you, through present and upcoming life events and challenges, and to help you navigate through these transitions and challenges successfully. Oracle cards will give you guidance and help you clarify specific issues in your life. Think of a question, and then pick one or more cards to see what messages the oracle offers.
What a simple and easy way to gain some insight into what needs some clarification at the time.
Some of you have wondered how I could pick a card that was appropriate to the whole community. – Essentially we are all one and like in most families, what affects one, affect the others. Like the butterfly wing flapping in the jungle story. Many of us are working on similar things at the same time, so a common answer can meet our individual requirement.
In fact we would like to thank all of you who have taken the time to email us on this subject. Many of you have been amazed at the synchronicity of these readings and their ability to provide insight into the issue of the moment.
One of the phenomena we love observing at our centre, is the collective message that builds for the group as each of us in a meditation group reads out their own individual message. It is really amazing how these words form a vibrational match to us all.
Healing Circle, our spring event at Akasha Keep.
Following our recent three articles about healing circles, we thought we would share a little of our last event with you.
Perhaps the threat of thunder storms on the night of the 4th September kept most of the expected participants at our Meditation, Shamanic Drum and Healing circle at home. Never the less the rain held off until we were finished and those present had a wonderful experience.
After smudging to cleanse and purify ourselves, we walked the perimeter of the circle, engaged in divesting negative thoughts and actions we had accumulated during the last quarter that no longer served our best interest.
Upon entering, time was spent contemplating our goals and aspirations for the new season. To open the circle the “Earth Prayer” was read out, along with “The Circle of Life”. These read out together conveyed a compelling message. The chanting that followed was rousing and lifted the energy. We all engaged in a guided meditation were we followed the Sacred Flame to a place where we sat in the presence of the Elders who shared some of their wisdom with us.
Insights were shared as the talking stick was passed along. It was then time for each participant to experience vibrational delights as native healing drums were engaged for their healing and beneficial effect. Just as this was completed the circle had to be quickly concluded as the first drops of rain were falling earthward. We all retired to cover and enjoyed supper and interesting conversation.
