Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué.

Happy New Year and might it be a blessed and most magnificent year for you.

2012? What does this mean to you? There is so much gestalt built up around supposed events of this year, that it likely causes all of us to be wondering what it has in store for us… personally and of course collectively. There are so many opinions and theories getting about – that it really is hard to know just what’s what!

Is this year to be good, bad or indifferent? And you see, therein is the answer! It really will be whatever you make up your mind it is to be.

Sure, there is going to be a lot going on this year, but most of it is outside of our personal domain. So the best we can do is to tend to ourselves and ensure we are in the right places at the right times. — The right place in our attitudes, in our emotions and in our actions, all of which should be designed to ensure we are in vibrational harmony – firstly with our own Spirit and secondly with the Great Spirit and as much as possible with Mother Earth.

On the larger scale, many are painting a time of doom and gloom, almost a decent into hell: The end of time and our beautiful planet and her inhabitants, especially us. Yet their opponents are predicting our arrival into heaven, the time of Nirvana, the ceasing of human toil and trouble.  This is a lot to put onto a tiny pinpoint in the progression of time.

Underneath all of this, it still seems certain that something is happening. Indeed it is! We are growing up; we are moving into a new era – a new vibration – a new age.

Just as we grow in our life, so does the Earth and all of her inhabitants. Major events are marked and celebrated, but in reality how much changes in that moment? Or was that moment really the middle of a longer period of time, or perhaps just the starting or kicking off point for a future reflected over a much longer period? What I’m getting at is that just as an adult can look back over their adulthood; it was preceded by childhood, with the event of their coming of age being a focal point. In just the same manner, their coming of age birthday, traditionally 21, is synonymous with 2012.

So yes I do believe we are at the end of an era, with a new one just about to begin, but it’s going to take awhile, just like you didn’t suddenly become an adult, even though you were called one and had privileges bestowed upon you on your birthday ― You were recognised as an adult, but you still needed to mature into it.

In the main, lots of people will be going about their business in pretty much the same fashion that they always have. Some of these will even be totally oblivious to anything being different. Some will want to know what all the fuss was about.

And then there will be those who acknowledge the date, will celebrate it and now have to mature and transition into the vibration of the new age. And of course there will be those who are sensitive enough to feel and experience the new vibration from its beginnings.

And then there will be those who are anticipating change and preparing for it – looking forward to living with a vibration of co-operation, love and openness and doing away with fear and unrelenting destruction and competitiveness, both on the personal as well as the mass or public levels.

As always the future is in our hands. We can bury our heads in the sand, hope it will all go away and blithely go on as always, or we can acknowledge something is going on and align ourselves with the new vibrations and create a grand and wonderful future.

Wisdom does seem to dictate that the latter may well be the best course for action.

A Metaphysical Synopsis of 2012 and its Implications.

2012 is all about us achieving a new and higher level of consciousness or a rising of consciousness to a higher state.   It will be the ending of a cycle, the end of an Age, and the beginning of a New Age and a new way of existing.

This will be a shift into something entirely new and greater, an era where we will be conscious co-creators. It is believed that we have reached the end of a cycle of our evolution and we are about to begin a brand new paradigm of existence. Within this paradigm conscious co-creation will begin to become more dominant and from this time on mankind will enjoy greater levels of evolutionary freedom.

On a cosmic level we will conclude our 3^rd dimension evolution and reality and shift to a higher vibration or a higher state, which some believe will ultimately be a shift to 5^th dimension consciousness or reality which has been prophesized as ‘the golden age’. Each of us will have the choice of how we will deal with or process this event.

The more of us who can stay out of fear, or at least process it from a higher vibration – the more of us there are to smooth the transition.  By choosing not to engage in fear you will add a higher vibration to the system and with each passing day the transformation of the Earth and her people becomes more of a reality.

This is also the period of great awakening as many rediscover their true identity, their spiritual roots, and are raising their vibration to match this new reality. Of course those people who are caught up in negativity and preferring to stay with the lower vibrations, will continue with this current reality. Most of the human race will be transforming into the New Earth vibration where we are the recipients of grace and unconditional love. The choice of your reality is yours alone to make.

Essentially unlimited potential and opportunities are coming into being and this means your future is as great as you want to make it – the more you believe this the more it will manifest into your own personal reality. Anything will now be possible as we move from lack and limitation to unlimited potential and possibility.

It has been said of this time that we are to move from duality or polarity to unification or oneness. This is our destiny.  We are in the final moments of the old, with the end of 2012 being the first moments of the new reality.  This shift will not be instant and we will grow and evolve into this new vibration or dimension on earth. For some time, for many, things may not appear to be changed or different.

The one certainty is this – what you truly believe in your heart and mind will be manifest in your life – your choices will determine your life; choose wisely and judiciously.

Inspirational quotes for the month:

The beginning is always today.
~ Mary Wollstonecraft ~

Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.
~ Madame de Stael ~

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them — every day, begin the task anew.
~ Saint Francis de Sales ~

ABOUT THE CARD READING

Oracle cards are a most effective way to get to the core of what you need to know in the moment. They can also help you sort through confusion in your life and shift your energy away from ego driven fear to a more positive, loving and powerful energy – a shift toward your Spirit, from where you can gain access to Divine guidance. Sometimes the answer does not appear to immediately gel, but usually if you sit with it for a little while, its truth is revealed.

Using Oracle cards is an effective and easy way to access personal guidance from above, and of bringing Divine guidance into your daily affairs, as well as providing a way to receive the love and support that is available to you from Spirit at all times. If you would like to purchase a set for yourself, or as a gift for a friend, you can do so here.

When I went to make the selection for our first card reading for 2012, it sort of made itself – ‘The Answer is Simple’ deck was sitting out in front of all the others, rather than replaced back into its spot. This made for an easy and obvious choice.

There was the usual shuffle and holding the thought of the thing we all could benefit from or need to know and when STOP came out, I stopped. My immediate thought was “we need to go, not stop”. Then after I read its message and sat back with it for awhile, I thought “how appropriate.” This really is a time when we need to come back to our Spirit, be calm and stay clear of manifesting fear.

Card reading:

STOP – The Answer Is Simple Oracle Cards
– Sonia Choquette

The Ego is running wild with confusion, causing unnecessary stress and leading you in the wrong direction. Presently you’re at risk of over reacting to things and are making poor decisions. You may feel defensive, threatened, or angry or feel the need to try too hard to please others. No matter how this runaway fear is manifesting, it’s time to stop. In spite of appearances, you are causing your greatest troubles, and no one else. Whether it’s projecting, reacting, defending, or over compensating, nothing your ego is doing at the moment is serving your highest good. Although it wants to be in control, it’s time to turn command over to higher forces and quit forcing your personal agenda.

Take a deep breath and come back to your spirit. Stop everything you are doing and go within. Ask your spirit to calm you. And for a bit, do nothing. Rather than force the door to life to open to you, step back and realise it opens inward. Doing nothing doesn’t mean that nothing is being done. The universe will right any imbalance as soon as you stop making waves.

Psychic Predictions for 2012
Elissa Heyman

2012 brings the end of a lot of things…

People don’t cooperate to keep things afloat that should sink on their own lack of sustainability.

New and brighter paradigms come into the atmosphere and seed peoples’ thoughts, while tradition is on the wane. (This emanates from the end of the year, inspired by the December 2012 winter solstice sun that pollinates us afresh as it passes through the center of our galaxy.)

2012 has a challenging, shortsighted feel to it, in which people and the factions they belong to are more likely to defend their point of view than cooperate. Nobody gives up anything. A healthy reaction is, take better care of ourselves and create some pleasant space inner space to retire to.

It’s a blunt year that shows everyone what’s what, and that we must learn to flow with change. Tremendous determination can flood us with the energy we need. Lotsa winners out there!

Changes in taken-for-granted support systems can cause big upsets. Natural catastrophes can also explode our worlds.

Religious fervor and self-righteousness is burning bright in 2012, but soon enough the spell of fear-generating organized religions will weaken. Dying out is the long-held religious/political tradition of controlling the masses through fear, and weakening people by instilling guilt, shame, and division. We’re outgrowing an allegiance to concepts like Original Sin.

An example of this trend towards a more loving collective consciousness is the growing awareness and intolerance for bullying in the U.S. It used to go on unchecked but now there are educational programs and other steps in place to prevent bullying in schools. In these unstable times when the weird are getting really weird, all kinds of abuse is happening, but peoples’ collective response to bullying points out our positive direction.

Innovative upgrades to society can proceed once the dust of 2012 settles. Innovation is alive and well now (entrepreneurs are turning poop into plastic, or landfills into energy producers), but it’s more 2013 for their turn onstage. An important pact between countries is in the works. Women’s issues don’t make much progress.

The Speaking Stones: Unexpected developments hasten the change that leaves the old guard out on a limb and makes a way for more nurturing, inclusive and sustainable values. Unexpected events can change the course of history, especially changes to what has been a foundation.

And finally, here’s a poem that talks about the year, and how the growth of love within each of us leads to our greater external success. 2012 teaches us to surf the waves of change.

Wild and Wonderful 2012 (published Dec. 9, 2011)

The times are coming on,
Exhilarating the air with streaks of luck,
Looming potholes,
And open portals;
Descents so dizzying they make us laugh–what else can you do?
–and a chance to start over.
The year is beneficent, it is generous, it makes things perfectly clear.
Two rights won’t make a wrong: let your inner love
make the outer love come on strong.

Personal Guidance for Success in 2012

Simple: That’s the word to live by in 2012. Get the idea across as simply as possible. Whatever it is, do it the simple way. The best workable solution to anything simplifies things.

Is it sustainable? We evaluate our agreements, routines and lifestyle choices. Individuals and countries alike will see what can continue in their lives, and what can’t.

Peace pays: Numerologically, 2012 is ruled by Mars, god of war. People are a little quicker to anger and get into fights. The pragmatic approach is to not take things personally or get huffy about anything. At home and in the office, “Let it slide, let it slide, let it slide!”
Be willing to cut your losses in the name of peace, if hanging on to something creates too much heaviness. Keep on going and flowing through the fast-changing scenarios of life in 2012. Whether it’s a good or a bad cycle, “this too shall pass.”

SCAM ALERT: Clever, ruthless people get very savvy about how to scam the public this year, beware! This is no time to trust people without good reason.

CITIZEN ALERT: What’s in our food and water? Lax oversight will allow chemicals and pollutants that harm mental functioning.

Relationships: Everyone has growing pains this year as we adjust to a changing world. Success comes to those flexible people who form support systems that accommodate their unique needs.

2012 Success Story Sound Bites: Be nice. Work hard. Don’t sit too long at the computer (or the sofa).

Psychic Guidance for the Fire, Water, Air, and Earth Signs

Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Your head and your heart come together more. Escape calamities: do not stick with situations that make you nervous, but respond to your unease and get in safer territory. You make it in a more powerful way, whatever role you play in the world.

Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): You’re concerned about your happiness and reach out, feeling your way towards better circumstances. Most important is that you situate yourself in a place you want to be. You’ll be happier even if you’re struggling, in a place you feel you belong.

Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): The first half feels like there’s too much on your plate–a lot to get done…various missions to accomplish. The second half, you have earned a clarity about where you truly belong –and everything else is much more in place.

Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Some plans/habits/relationships expose weak links in your chain, a step necessary for true growth. Difficulties of any sort tend to make you grow emotionally and spiritually. Willingness to adapt and learn new ways sees you through.

Aesop’s Fable — The King’s Son and the Painted Lion

A King, whose only son was fond of martial exercises, had a dream in which he was warned that his son would be killed by a lion.

Afraid the dream should prove true, he built for his son a pleasant palace and adorned its walls for his amusement with all kinds of life-sized animals, among which was the picture of a lion.

When the young Prince saw this, his grief at being thus confined burst out afresh, and, standing near the lion, he said: “O you most detestable ofanimals! Through a lying dream of my father’s, which he saw in his sleep, I am shut up on your account in this palace as if I had been a girl:  what shall I now do to you?’

With these words he stretched out his hands toward a thorn-tree, meaning to cut a stick from its branches so that he might beat the lion.  But one of the tree’s prickles pierced his finger and caused great pain and inflammation, so that the young Prince fell down in a fainting fit.  A violent fever suddenly set in, from which he died not many days later.

We had better bear our troubles bravely than try to escape them.

This is our combined Nov/Dec Christmas edition. We take a look at Chief Seattle’s letter in an attempt to understand our place with God and on Earth. We also have the inspirational quote for the month. Card Reading – ‘Balance/Divine Teachers’ from ‘Ask Your Guides’ Oracle Cards. Striving Daily to Live Life with Meaning While Loving Your Neighbor. And Aesop’s fable.

Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué.

This morning I was reading Shakti Gawain’s book ‘Return to the Garden, which is about her personal journey of discovery and her return to the garden of her soul and her connection to the earth. It is also about the possibility of each of us returning to our own soul garden and living life in a balanced and natural way.

Shakti is one of the shining lights from the eighties and along with her books and tapes played a significant role in my own transformation to living in the light.

Each of us as we make our own journey has to achieve a harmonious balance between our spiritual and physical self, and to learn that all things are connected.

In the chapter ‘Learning from the Earth’ she says, “…many of the ancient peoples, also understood their place as part of the great family of Earth. We can learn much by studying their ways and bringing forward those ideas and practices which can help us. Not that we need to, or can, return to the past, but within their way of life was and still is a great way of wisdom, which we with our vast sophisticated wisdom have lost. We must find that innate wisdom again, and use our technical knowledge, not to destroy but to enhance and protect the Earth.”

As a beautiful example of the great wisdom of the past, she sites Chief Seattle’s Letter. As I was reading this I realized that this is a wisdom we all need to reconnect with to strengthen our understanding of God in all Things, especially inside us, and that we are all one.

Chief Seattle’s Letter to All The People.

Chief Seattle, Chief of the Suquamish Indians allegedly wrote to the American Government in the mid 1850’s – In this letter he gave the most profound understanding of God in all Things. Here is his letter, which should be instilled in the hearts and minds of every parent and child in all the Nations of the World:

CHIEF SEATTLE’S LETTER

“The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? The land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?

Every part of the earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect: All are holy in the memory and experience of my people.

We know the sap which courses through the trees as we know the blood that courses through our veins. We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters. The bear, the deer, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the dew in the meadow, the body heat of the pony, and man all belong to the same family.

The shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water, but the blood of our ancestors. If we sell you our land, you must remember that it is sacred. Each glossy reflection in the clear waters of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water’s murmur is the voice of my father’s father.

The rivers are our brothers. They quench our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. So you must give the rivers the kindness that you would give any brother.

If we sell you our land, remember that the air is precious to us, that the air shares its spirit with all the life that it supports. The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also received his last sigh. The wind also gives our children the spirit of life. So if we sell our land, you must keep it apart and sacred, as a place where man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadow flowers.

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth.

This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

One thing we know: our God is also your God. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered? The wild horses tamed? What will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent of many men and the view of the ripe hills is blotted with talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone! Where will the eagle be? Gone! And what is to say goodbye to the swift pony and then hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival.

When the last red man has vanished with this wilderness and his memory is only the shadow of a cloud moving across the prairie, will these shores and forests still be here? Will there be any of the spirit of my people left?

We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother’s heartbeat. So, if we sell you our land, love it as we have loved it. Care for it, as we have cared for it. Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you receive it. Preserve the land for all children, and love it, as God loves us.

As we are part of the land, you too are part of the land. This earth is precious to us. It is also precious to you.

One thing we know – there is only one God. No man, be he Red man or White man, can be apart. We are all brothers after all.”

ABOUT THE CARD READING

Before I even started I had this knowing that we should be using Ask Your Guides, and as I looked at the selection in front of me, their choice become even more insistent. On the front of the guidebook it says “The Direct Link to Your Personal Psychic Support System.” Strange, for as Iwas picking them up I was getting a clear message that the selection would be an important link in helping us understand and strengthen our sixth sense and how we access divine help in getting along with each other.

As I took the cards out of the box I got a stronger instruction to hold them along with the guide book between my hands in prayer position and to clear my mind. After a minute of so I got an instruction not to shuffle the cards and to choose the twelfth card from the top.

Using Oracle cards is an effective and easy way to access personal guidance from above, and of bringing Divine guidance into your daily affairs, as well as providing a way to receive the love and support that is available to you from Spirit at all times. If you would like to purchase a set for yourself, or as a gift for a friend, you can do so here.

Card reading:

Balance/Divine Teachers – Ask Your Guides Oracle Cards – Sonia Choquette

Support • Codependency
Manipulation • Generosity

You’re in the delicate process of learning how to properly balance the flow of give and take in your personal relationships, and it’s time to evaluate how you’re doing. Are you giving too much, leaving you resentful and angry? Or are you withholding when you could give more, leaving you feeling guilty and defensive? Your Divine teachers can help you learn how to better align your relationships so that you neither give nor take too much as a means of controlling others. They counsel you to be honest about your motivations when dealing with others; you know in your heart of hearts what drives your interest in them.

Do you give with a secret agenda of “you owe me”? Do you create dependency in and control over others with your Kindness? Or do you withhold for fear you might be taken advantage of, keeping people guessing about your motives and intentions? Your Divine Teachers are on hand to help you answer these questions. They lovingly assure you that relationships are the most difficult of all spiritual classrooms, and the lessons of proper give and take are the most difficult of skills to learn.

Have compassion for yourself as you seek balance with others. Ask your Divine Teachers to help you become more aware of how you give and take in all relationships, not just the romantic kind. Their message to you: “There’s no difference between giving and receiving love.”

Striving Daily to Live Life With Meaning While Loving Your Neighbor.
By Shawn Drewry

How many times do you hear someone say “I love my neighbor regardless”? Nowadays, that’s quite rare to hear someone say that genuinely. The beauty of loving your neighbor unconditionally is that it helps to positively curate your heart and see you through trying times in life. Loving others means to love yourself and allow experiences in life to help you make better sound judgment.

On many occasions, many of our neighbors can be potentially aggravating. When your neighbor becomes aggravating, it’s best to keep a neutral yet humble attitude. The reason for doing so is because it may be your awesome life pop quiz to see what your character is made of. It’s always a best positive practice to rock steady and not rock the boat, when dealing with your neighbor on all sorts of fronts. To love your neighbor in the midst of their shortcomings as well as yours allows spiritual growth to take place, in the quest to strive daily for the hope of accomplishing eternal perfection. Life is a daily fight inside the mind, in achieving supremacy over all sorts of adversity.

Loving thy neighbor while striving daily brings out the best in anyone. A good thing about having positive relations with your neighbor is that you can go to them sometimes if you need help on something. That is, if they truly feel for you in return. As they always say “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. This is why today I generally take to heart how I treat my neighbor, whether they physically live next door to me, or on the internet. How I treat my neighbor says a lot about my real character.

Humans are naturally born with feelings they can’t turn off. How we treat our neighbors is seen by God. This is why I really try sincerely to treat others with respect, even those who are in fields that don’t deserve to be respected. Loving my neighbor is no easy job spiritually to accomplish. In the midst of learning valuable lessons in life, loving my neighbor optimizes my heart spiritually beyond my human imagination, which is why today I have no pride nor shame in openly speaking with my true human feelings off-line and online. I am a human being with a heart that not only tries their best to treat their neighbor with love and respect, but I’m also a human being with a heart that can easily be hurt and broken by nasty words and actions by others who say they love me.

Blogging is always joy to the soul, as it allows anyone to respectively release their thoughts in a positive way into the universe, while always having a teachable mind about life and building positive relationships with others.

Aesop’s Fable — The Lion and the Mouse

Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him.

“Pardon, O King,” cried the little Mouse: “forgive me this time, I shall never forget it; who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?”  The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him that he lifted up his paw and let him go.

Some time after the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a tree while they went insearch of a wagon to carry him on.  Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight, in which the Lion was, went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts.

“Was I not right?” said the little Mouse.

Little friends may prove great friends.

This month we take a look at life through the eyes of a paddle pop angel. We also have the inspirational quote for the month. Card Reading – ‘Ariel’ from ‘Messages from Your Angels’ Oracle Cards. Are You a Happy Person? Do You Love Life? and Aesop’s fable.

Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué.

It is so important that we listen to the messages and synchronicities that are being placed before us all the time. Even the card reading this month is yet another example of this, demonstrating just how important it is for us to listen to and follow our guidance, especially when it comes to a choice between it and our intellect, and more importantly, that we live our life from a place of love.

The other day I was a passenger in a car when the driver let out an expletive making his annoyance well known as his foot went for the brake. We were coming to a stop for road works and up ahead was a stop and go sign operator clearly bringing us to a halt. Sure we were on a tight schedule, but I really didn’t think it warranted the agitation my companion seemed to be experiencing as he bemoaned our fate and cursed the workers who were holding us up.

It was no more than a few minutes and we were on our way. As we passed the stop-go paddle operator she was giving us an encouraging wave and a cheering smile, you could almost imagine her wishing us well for the rest of our journey. As we passed my companion growled, “What’s she so happy about?” Then set to the task of getting us to our destination.

Now I am sure he wouldn’t admit it, that’s if he even recognized it, but just after this he began to smile himself and his demeanour changed for the better.

In the few minutes we were waiting he told me all about the useless so and so’s that are only fit for menial hire. He revealed quite a bit about himself in those moments. Now I could not agree with his prognosis, but I did see into his own hurt and disillusionment and sadly what is often a common opinion. But that is not my story for today.

Over the last few years as I have been driving about I have regularly come across the stop-go lady and I have always been amazed at her cheeriness, and as any of us who are alert would notice, the brightness and strength of her aura. But like so many of us I must admit I tended to take her and the job she did for granted.

Just digressing for a moment, just imagine what our lives would be like if we didn’t have these workers looking after our roads, to allow us safe and speedy transit.

Quite by chance (really ?!) I had the opportunity to meet and talk with this lady a few days later and was astounded by her story.

Some years ago she turned up at work as usual, only to be informed that the company was going into receivership. Up until that time there had never been any hint of trouble or financial hardship and soon she would learn that things were so bad that her company sponsored superannuation no longer existed. Not a good plight for a woman over 50.

She thought her management skills would be highly sort after as she headed out seeking re-employment. Older women with her skill set must have been some sort of a threat, because no one seemed to want to utilise them. Determined not to be a burden on society or to be on the unemployment scrap heap as she put it, she set out to find some sort of work. Besides she didn’t want to be a burden on her family or to set the wrong example for her grandchildren.

In desperation she applied for a job with a road safety company. Even they didn’t want her at first. Then one day she got a call asking if she could fill in for a sick crew member. She took the job and at the end of the first day wondered what she had gotten herself into. Her feet ached, her back ached, she hurt all over, standing out in the elements all day was more gruelling than she imagined. And all that for much less pay than she had been accustomed to as well.

Well, she stuck it out and was offered a permanent job. She took it, but didn’t tell them she was only planning to be there until she found a better job in her former field. She begrudgingly turned up each day, putting up with either too much rain, too much sun, too many flies or too much dust. Then to top it off, far too much abuse from frustrated and impatient motorists.

She soon found her disposition souring and she would mentally return tit for tat with the drivers of the vehicles she was controlling. She found this to be exhausting and it was definitely not putting any joy into her work life and of course this was starting to carry over into her private life as well. She was becoming a sad and dejected old lady who was only turning up at work because she was expected to be there.

Then one day she got a revelation: She could continue on the road to misery or she could bring joy and happiness into the world – the choice was hers as it always had been and always would be, and besides what did she have to lose?

Next day she started smiling and waving to each driver as they filed past. If they stopped close enough, she would say kind things to the occupants of the vehicle. Within a few days she found herself adding a mental wish that all these people have a safe journey and a joy filled day.

It was only a day or two later that she actually took in what was happening in return – most of the motorists were smiling back and some of them were waving as they drove by.

It was what she then discovered that buoyed her the most. At the end of the day she felt invigorated, her feet didn’t ache, nor her back, in fact she felt great, not just physically but emotionally and spiritually as well. She felt elevated and on top of the world. Her days were now days of living, not just spent serving time and dragging by. This was now her new way of being, her purpose in the world. Her secret mission – to give and share love!

It seemed the more she gave out her smiles, waves and good thoughts, the more she got back and the better her day went. She hardly notices the extremes of the elements anymore. She confided in me that she loves her job and doesn’t plan to give it up soon and that she understands why her family and friends don’t quite see things the way she does –now.

I asked her if she considered herself to be ’spiritual’. “Good lord no,” she replied ‘I’m just an old lady that found a magical way to get through the day.”

To me she is much more than a lady who found a way to get through her day – she is ‘the paddle-pop angel.’

Inspirational quotes for the month:

Once we recognize what it is we are feeling, once we recognize we can feel deeply, love deeply, can feel joy, then we will demand that all parts of our lives produce that kind of joy.

~ Audre Lorde ~

Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other — it doesn’t matter who it is — and that will help you grow up in greater love for each other.

ABOUT THE CARD READING

I had decided that I would use a pack of Oracle Cards that I hadn’t selected before, believing this might introduce a new flavour to the mix. As I was humming and haring over the choice, I kept getting the feeling that this wasn’t what I was meant to be doing at this time. In fact I kept being drawn toward Doreen Virtues ‘Messages from Your Angels.’ By no means a new selection!

Following this lead I got them out and started shuffling. They kept sticking together and standing out in peaking clumps. Curious I stopped and looked at the card at the top of the peak and it was Ariel, having satisfied my curiosity I proceeded to shuffle, and still the cards where holding together in groups, so I fanned them, and carried on shuffling and out popped, you guessed it—Ariel. This was obviously our choice for this month.

I placed the card back onto the deck and for some reason shuffled them prior to putting them back into their box and as I was doing this I noticed the bottom card—Ariel. Do you suppose it was trying to tell me something?

I strongly believe that its message of ‘regularly sending the Divine love and light’ within us toward those we come in contact with as we go about our business will get to those who need it most, and help us all to fill our role as Earthbound angels. I also couldn’t help but draw a parallel to our opening story.

Picking up guidance and understanding in our lives can be as simple as referring to a deck of cards. If you would like to purchase a set for yourself, or as a gift for a friend, you can do so here.

Card reading:

Ariel – Messages from Your Angels – Doreen Virtue

“New psychic and spiritual experiences are changing the way you view the world and yourself. Allow your spiritual gifts to open—through study prayer and meditation.”

Additional Message: “It’s not your imagination. You really are psychic, and you have connected with the spirit world. These mystical experiences are occurring due to your increased spiritual openness, and because you have asked about your angels and your life’s purpose. I am part of a large group of angels assigned to those of you who have spiritual gifts. We will send you additional Earth helpers in the form of spiritual teachers, books, and classes so that you may further open up your spiritual abilities.

“Please don’t be afraid of your gifts. Although you may have been teased or punished for being psychic in your childhood or past life, we can help you heal any fears that you may have about being psychic or spiritually gifted. Just ask for our help and it is given.

“The Earth needs your help right now. We ask that you regularly send the Divine love and light within you toward those who need it most. Simply hold the intention of sending beams of loving energy toward any place, plant, animal, person, or situation, and it is done. We thank you for your Earth angel assistance.”

Are You a Happy Person? Do You Love Life?

By Patricia A. Grace

Do you know someone who appears to have everything – money, a big house, a fancy car, but is not happy? Do you know someone who has endured some adversity and has only minimum living standards, but is happy? Have you ever asked yourself why this is? Or, what is the difference in how these two people view their lives?

The answer is that happiness is a state of mind. This means that you can be happy while living in a chaotic world. You can be happy even though you are enduring some adversity. If you only focus your thoughts on the external world and allow them to define what success is, you cannot open your mind and envision a new reality for yourself. This state of mind must come from within.

It is everyone’s goal to live a happy and healthy life, although everyone you ask what “healthy” means will have a different answer. I define healthy as a natural balance of body, mind and spirit. All three are equally important. All three are operating in unison to create the life you want to live.

This is the ultimate goal:

Body – your physical being that you take care of as if you want it to live forever.

Mind – your mental capacity that chooses only positive thoughts and looks beyond your physical reality.

Spirit – your inner self that is calm and peaceful because it knows your true purpose in life.

If you continually strive for this goal, you will achieve total health and be a happy person. But it is just too difficult, you might say. Or even worse, it is not possible.

Well, I have to tell you that it is possible. The truth is that you have the ability change your circumstances and overcome adversity. The first step is believing that the goal is achievable. The rest of the journey is taking action every day to turn this goal into reality. You are human and you will make mistakes, but you must persevere. I promise you, it will be worth every bit of energy you put into it.

Just know that – Your thoughts become beliefs and your beliefs become reality. So, change is only a thought away.

What makes it difficult is trying to do it alone and without the guidance that you need to be successful. Overcome Adversity and Live a Healthy Life – Body, Mind and Spirit is the first eBook in a series to guide you in your search for a new path to enlightenment. There will be two more eBooks. The second will focus on healing the body and the third will focus on the finding the perfect balance of the mind and spirit. They are for people who are ready to take the first step and become a seeker. Seekers are those of us who are on a path of spiritual growth and who have abandoned the need to cling to traditional avenues for support.

Are you someone who is ready to take life into your own hands and move forward to create your future? So when the question is posed, “Are you willing to be happy?” your answer will be a confident, “Yes I am!” This is a turning point in your journey. You have now defined your goal and are ready to take action toward it. After you learn to eliminate the power of the self critic and negative thinking which you are victimized by, you can open yourself to a new world with unlimited possibilities.

You will finally come to the realization that you can create your future the way you want it to be, and achieve the ultimate goal. And most of all, you will learn to love all of life because you will love yourself.

The author is a woman who has followed a spiritual path with her sister after she was diagnosed with cancer in 2003. Her eBooks are written from a personal perspective and provide guidance based on the changes they have made in their lives since then. What makes her writing unique is that it provides both practical and inspirational guidance side by side.

Aesop’s Fable — The Ant and the Chrysalis

An Ant nimbly running about in the sunshine in search of food came across a Chrysalis that was very near its time of change. The Chrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant, who then saw for the first time that it was alive. “Poor, pitiable animal!” cried the Ant disdainfully. “What a sad fate is yours! While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish, ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, with power only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail.”

The Chrysalis heard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after, when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained. Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenly shaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly. “Behold in me,” said the Butterfly, “your much-pitied friend! Boast now of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me to listen.” So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and borne along and aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of the Ant forever.

Appearances are deceptive.

This month we take a look at making the most of our lot, or turning water into wine. We also have the inspirational quote for the month. Card Reading – ‘Decisions’ from ‘Trust your Vibes’ Oracle Cards.  Listening to Yourself: The Key to Being Healthy and Happy. Aesop’s fable.

Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué.

If we allow ourselves, it can be so easy to get caught up in drudgery and turn what should be a beautiful day and a beautiful life into something else. Or with a decision and a little bit of effort and a few skills we can TURN WATER INTO WINE!

This is the opportunity that was presented to me the other day, but in reality it is presented to each of us every day. The weekend had come around and over breakfast I had begun to build the list of chores that where considered to be essential for completion.

After the floods earlier this year, quite a fuel load has built up on some of the properties surrounding us, so we considered it important to mow a fire break around our place, along with other tasks to be sure we were fire ready. As I started to mow I was amazed at how dry it had already become as dust began to cover me and make me sneeze and get itchy and uncomfortable. Due to hedges and other perimeter plantings a large part of this task would need to done using the hand motor mower and then the broader strip could be done on the ride on.

Well, only a short while into it and I was beginning to fall for it – the trap of feeling sorry for myself and the thought of the rest of the day slaving away at my chores.

Luckily I caught myself out and made some choices for the better. We all have choices, we can spend our days begrudgingly moving through our tasks or we can elevate our position and have some joy. The choice is always ours to make.

I immediately reminded myself why I was doing this. I was providing some physical protection to our property, an important issue of providing some insurance against the threat of fire and at the same time improving the appearance of the place. Now that I had reminded myself why I had set about this dusty job in the first place, this act alone began my improved mindset.

Looking back and seeing the better state of the area I had completed made me feel good about carrying out the rest. Somehow in a way that I can’t explain the dust and discomfort faded into the background and as I continued this chore was somehow becoming almost pleasurable. I had decided that as it needed to be done I would make the most of it and enjoy it as much as possible. In wonder, I found myself somewhat elevated above the din of the mower and the dust it created and had moved into a groove of purposeful direction and action and found myself enjoying the task at hand.

At the end of the day I was pleased to see the amount of work that had been completed and I was feeling joyful and satisfied with my efforts. What a different day I could have had if I hadn’t changed my mindset for the better.

There really is no reason for any aspect of our lives to be dull, boring or just plain hard work and drudgery if we set about it with the right attitude and follow through with the right actions.

A further note on the above – delegate or stagnate. Having followed through and completing the task in as joyful and rewarding manner as you can, gaining mastery over it and over yourself, you may conclude that you really would prefer to be doing other things with your time. And this is quite appropriate.

I now know for example that I can rise above the dust and sneezing and get the job done to my satisfaction and even end up having a good time doing it. But with that now understood, in the future I plan to employ someone who really loves making their living mowing to look after it for me, leaving me with even more time for healing and metaphysical pursuits.

And here is an important distinction. Now that you have gained mastery over the task (any task) but you would prefer to be doing other things, or if you really have no talent for it, or your time is better suited to other activities, then you can free up a lot of your life up by handing it over to another, especially if that other really enjoys doing whatever it is that they do.

However, if you are just passing the buck, or can’t be bothered, or handing over a job that you consider to be too menial and below your dignity and effort, then you better reconsider.

On the spiritual level and in reality – none of us is superior to another, nor less than another – we are all equals. So it really puts us out of alignment and benefits us not to think ourselves superior and above any task!

Inspirational quote for the month:

When an old and distinguished person speaks to you, listen to him carefully and with respect – but do not believe him. Never put your trust into anything but your own intellect. Your elder, no matter whether he has gray hair or has lost his hair, no matter whether he is a Nobel laureate – may be wrong. The world progresses, year by year, century by century, as the members of the younger generation find out what was wrong among the things that their elders said. So you must always be skeptical – always think for yourself.
~ Linus Pauling ~

CARD READING

As we go through our life we are called upon to make some sort of a decision and sometimes we can do this easily, while at other times it seems weighed with difficulty. The real truth is that we are being called upon to decide in every moment of our lives. As I approached the card reading this month I was uncertain which set of cards I would choose. I was looking at them assembled on the shelf, waiting for a particular set to stand out as they usually did, but none were shining forth.

In the normal course of affairs, you could gather up the involved facts and evaluate them, and come to a conclusion. However selecting a card intended for a common message and lesson for us all, while more a matter of perception and intuition, still requires a choice and in this matter I was vacillating.

Finally, knowing a selection had to be made; I resorted to solving this with the aid of my pendulum. Even then it seemed I was forced to decide. A deck was indicated, but I continued along the shelf in case of a stronger indication and ended up with two selections. Now what to do? Especially as my pendulum was giving an equal indication for both of them, it seemed I was going to have to decide. Sonia Choquette has long been a favourite, so I leaned toward her and besides ‘Trust your Vibes’ would be the choice and so I did – trust my vibes that is. Then the message was driven home, as the selected card was ‘Decide.’

Once again I was struck with awe as this card drove home the message that our life is about as happy or difficult as we decide it to be!

Oracle Cards can be invaluable for providing guidance and understanding in our lives. Sometimes helping us with the decisions for our life, and if you would like to get a set of your own you may purchase them here.

Card reading:

Decide
Two of the most important words to raise your vibration and gain the support of your higher celestial forces are: “I decide.” The moment you truly decide on a particular goal and fully commit to a course of action, the Universe can step up and begin to assist you. But, until you decide the only thing the Universe and all your divine support systems can do is respect your free will and patiently wait. Not even your angels or guides can override your lack of decision. Once your intention is set, however, all sources of higher power are ready, willing, and able to assist you. So ask yourself “What have I decided and what is my intention right now?” Once you name it all systems are go.

Listening to Yourself: The Key to Being Healthy and Happy
By Salamatu C Lot

How can you tell whether you are truly healthy and happy? Do you gauge it on your own terms, or do you depend on other people’s opinions of you? If you practice the latter, then you should really rethink what you’ve been doing. The only person who can really, truly tell whether your quality of life is great or not is you. Can people feel what you feel? Can they get inside your head? No? Then why deny your thoughts and feelings in favour of others’?

If your aunt, for instance, keeps wheedling you to shrink to a size two for “health” reasons, should you really take her that seriously? Or if your favourite professor in college insists that a healthy and happy life can only be achieved if you accomplish a Masters and PhD right after graduating, regardless of your interest to get a job right away, should you take him seriously?

If you’re a size six and feel fit and fine, why force yourself to whittle your body down? If you’d rather be employed and start earning ASAP, then why bog yourself down in the world of academics? You should only do these things if they will honestly make you feel healthier and happier. If you do feel sluggish in you current weight, then by all means, exercise! If the career you seek involves making tenure at a top university, then crack those books open! To be healthy and happy, you need to listen to your own needs and desires. Life is way too short to cater to other people’s expectations.

Some of these expectations, in fact, can be outright dangerous. Take for instance, having to shrink to a size two. Is this even as “healthy” as it’s being made out to be? Always make sure to do your research and practice the things tailor-fit to your physical, mental, and emotional characteristics. Remember: popular opinion is not necessarily the correct opinion. When in doubt, follow your gut instinct.

When it comes to the direction your life should take, only you should serve as the sole navigator. If you want a healthy and happy life, live it the way you’ve always wanted to. Once you do, you’ll wonder why you ever denied yourself anything in the first place. It will shock you when you realize how much time you’ve been wasting doing absolutely useless things. But for the most part, this realization will definitely hearten you and encourage you to keep being your true self.

Your life is yours to grow. There are so many possibilities waiting for you, and it would make no sense for you to limit yourself. The most successful people in history focused on making sure that their quality of life got top priority, so why shouldn’t you? The happier you are, the more you will be able to achieve with what you have. The world, as they say, will definitely become your oyster.

So, what are you doing still sitting here? It’s now time to get out of your dark little corner and have a blast!

A healthy and happy life is rooted in courage and determination. Just as long as you have the right motivation, you too can live the dream.

Aesop’s Fable — The Ass and His Masters

An ass, belonging to an herb-seller who gave him too little food and too much work made a petition to Jupiter to be released from his present service and provided with another master.  Jupiter, after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him to be sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he had heavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, he petitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling him that it would be the last time that he could grant his request, ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he had fallen into worse hands, and noting his master’s occupation, said, groaning: “It would have been better for me to have been either starved by the one, or to have been overworked by the other of my former masters, than to have been bought by my present owner, who will even after I am dead, tan my hide and make me useful to him.”

He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.

What’s in this publication: – This month we take a look at your contribution and how you conduct yourself. We also have the inspirational quote for the month. Card Reading – ‘Daniel’ from ‘Messages from your Angels’ Oracle Cards. Aesop’s fable. Communication Is the Master Key. About Commitment.

Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué.

Here is a story I would like to relate, that I heard the other day. A contractor had decided he wanted to retire after many years of working and making his way. He had started his career as an apprentice to a certain builder and after several years had become one of his leading contractors.

He approached the builder and told him he wished to retire. The builder told him he had come to depend upon him over the years and that he had one more important job to do for a special client and convinced him to stay on and see this one through.

As had become the practice over the years the contractor had free rein to do the best he could and to supply accordingly. He started into the job with his usual aplomb, but after a short while began to think about his retirement and began to lose interest in the job. He began to cut corners and to cover up short fallings and went for lower grade fittings and fixtures—in general he had lost his interest in the job and almost begrudgingly only did enough to get by and complete the project.

The day came when he and the builder had an inspection and hand over of the completed job. The contractor received his payment and handed the keys to the builder.

The builder then told the contractor that he had had him build this house as a reward and recognition of a friend whose many years of valuable service and contribution had helped him to grow and succeed in his business…

He then handed the contractor the keys to house and wished him well in his retirement.

Rather than state the moral principles portrayed in this story, I am leaving it for you to reveal them to yourself, and to make of it what you may and how it relates to how you conduct your affairs.

Inspirational quote for the month:

In life, many thoughts are born in the course of a moment, an hour, a day. Some are dreams, some visions. Often, we are unable to distinguish between them. To some, they are the same; however, not all dreams are visions. Much energy is lost in fanciful dreams that never bear fruit. But visions are messages from the Great Spirit, each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person’s vision may not be that of another. To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality, only then can visions be fulfilled. The spiritual side of life knows everyone’s heart and who to trust. How could a vision ever be given to someone to harbour if that person could not be trusted to carry it out. The message is simple: commitment precedes vision.

CARD READING

This month I knew I would be away from home at the usual time I write the newsletter, so I completed this task ahead of schedule in order to have access to my selection of cards. As I was wondering which deck to choose, it came to me to choose by author first. Using my pendulum I ran a list of names and received a positive response for Doreen Virtue, and then for her ‘Messages from Your Angels’ cards. After shuffling and cutting I ended up with Daniel.

When the card was drawn and I read it, I immediately thought it did not apply and went to draw another. I got a very strong impression that this was not for me to decide; the card is drawn to reveal an important message that is pertinent to its audience, it will be specific to some and will carry a general message for the rest who choose to read it. So naturally, I followed guidance and stuck with it.

Upon reading it again, I began to see a larger message for myself and no doubt others will also. I realised that in one of our business affairs, a partnership of sorts, (business associations are just like marriages in many respects) I was beginning to build pain and anger and deep resentment and that if I didn’t soon release it, it would sour my disposition and begin to consume me. I also recognised that I was drudging up some old forgotten grudges of the past that related to a similar previous experience.

This is where spiritual guidance comes to the fore, for now that I recognised the matter, it could be dealt with. I set my resolve that this matter would be worked at to a proper conclusion, but I would immediately stop my vitriol and angst. Further I engaged a principle system I had recently forgotten and engaged The Great Spirit, my name for God, to partner with me and to take the senior position in this and help bring it to a fitting conclusion.

Also I began to breathe and pray (how many times have I told this to clients) letting go of the negative emotions and breathing in positive affirmation of healing power – for myself and toward the situation. I soon came to realise that my resolve was stronger, but that it carried no animosity. With this, the old situation that had begun to rise and discolour the current, had lifted off completely, forgiven and removed, with just the lesson of what to watch out for, in its place. My respect, admiration and love for this previous partner returned with none of the shortcomings of our relationship souring this. Hopefully this will be the case with the current problem.

Whatever the outcome of my current grievance (or more correctly now – problem), I am hopeful of a respectful dissolution of the marriage (business relationship), but that the original intention can be held in place. In this case all has become apparent that the relationship has soured beyond repair and that future success is dependent upon a new relationship. Perhaps the opposite of the result implied below, but advice that nevertheless could lead to future happiness.

All of which just goes to show, that if we remain open and in connection with our spiritual source, guidance is delivered to help keep our lives positive and full of divine power, to ensure we make the most of our lot.

You can purchase your own set of Oracle Cards here.

Card reading:

This month’s card reading comes from Doreen Virtue’s ‘Messages from Your Angels’ Oracle Cards and the selected card is Daniel.

“I am the Angel of Marriage, and I’m assisting you right now.”

Additional Message: “You have called upon God to help in the area of marriage, and he sent me to your side. I am here to help you with a fulfilling marriage. God and I desire to answer your prayer without delay. The first area that I am helping you with is healing any past wounds related to marriage. In quiet moments, I ask that you be willing to release to me any pain associated with you parents. I ask that you breathe out any negative feelings that you may have about marriage, which stem from your childhood experiences.

“Next, I put my hand upon your heart and ask you to breathe in and out deeply. I now ask that you be willing to release old pain or anger toward your first love. As you release these toxins from your heart, I next ask you to exhale old pain toward all of your old lovers. Allow me to clear your heart of old wounds so that you can enjoy a happy marriage rooted in the present. We must release the past to avoid replicating old, painful experiences. I am here to free your heart so that it can fully love . . . within a blissful marriage.

Aesop’s Fable — The Wolf and the Crane

A Wolf had been gorging on an animal he had killed, when suddenly a small bone in the meat stuck in his throat and he could not swallow it. He soon felt terrible pain in his throat, and ran up and down groaning and groaning and seeking for something to relieve the pain. He tried to induce every one he met to remove the bone. ‘I would give anything,’ said he, ‘if you would take it out.’ At last the Crane agreed to try, and told the Wolf to lie on his side and open his jaws as wide as he could. Then the Crane put its long neck down the Wolf’s throat, and with its beak loosened the bone, till at last it got it out.

‘Will you kindly give me the reward you promised?’ said the Crane.

The Wolf grinned and showed his teeth and said: ‘Be content. You have put your head inside a Wolf’s mouth and taken it out again in safety; that ought to be reward enough for you.’

Gratitude and greed go not together.

Communication Is the Master Key
By Anil Gupta

Communication is the vital key to a successful and fulfilled relationship. The ability to communicate will determine the quality of that relationship. If you are able to connect at a very high and deep level with the people that you love in your life I promise you one thing – your relationships will be amazing.

The most important connection is the one that you have with yourself – improve that and your quality of life is immediately enhanced. This connection has often been lost through past traumas and events. We need to be able to love ourselves and be able to communicate with ourselves to enable us to live a fulfilled life.

The Quality of your Life is directly proportional to the quality of the communication that you have in that life.

How many times have you said to yourself ‘ I am not good enough ‘, ‘ I am not deserving ‘, ‘I am not lovable’, ‘I am a failure ‘, ‘ I wonder when he or she will leave me ‘. Yes we have all had these thought and the more often we have them the more problems we are going to have. We are often not even aware that we have these thoughts and these thoughts are communication. You are training your brain to fail.

It does not have to be that way. If you master communication you will master your life.

The mere awareness that you have these thoughts will cause you to change your thoughts and the communication will also be changed. The ability to communicate is the reason that people are successful. It is why Presidents become Presidents. It is why Ghandi succeeded. It is why Mother Theresa made such a difference. It is why Kennedy made the space program possible.

If you are able to connect with your co-workers, your customers, your friends and family then your level of achievement will be incredible. The ability to communicate is the single most important reason to perfect that art. And it is an art. It needs practice. It needs coaching. But if you’re able to master that your life will be joyous. It will be full of fun, joy, playfulness, success, happiness and fulfilment. The people around you, the people that you spend time with, the people that you love, will benefit. Above all else you will benefit. It’s worth the effort. Practice, practice, practice the art of communication.

About Commitment
By Angela Van De Riet

When people hear the word “commitment,” they often think about relationships. Commitment is indeed an important part of lasting relationships, but it also is found in countless aspects of life.

The definition of commitment is, “The trait of sincere and loyal focus of purpose.” When you’re committing yourself, you are deciding to focus on a specific promise or plan of action. You can be committed to almost anything-committed to gaining wealth, to losing weight, to being a good person. However, many people are afraid of commitment. Why?

One, it requires you to make a decision. Making decisions can be frightening. What if I’m wrong? What if it’s too hard? Two, it requires you to be accountable. What if I fail? What if I disappoint people or embarrass myself?

Let’s take a look at an example: being healthy. This might include eating well, exercising, and relieving stress. Most people would like to make this commitment, I imagine, but many don’t follow through. Why not?

It’s because they’re not truly committed. Being truly committed means you’re willing to do what it takes, even though it’s difficult, even though you may fail occasionally, and even though you may be sacrificing something in the present for a goal far off in the future. And that’s hard. But successful people are committed, even though it’s hard. They’re willing to do what it takes. Are you?

Here are some steps you can take to learn how to commit.

One, make sure your commitment is congruent to what’s really important in your life. Ask yourself why you are committing yourself to this goal. If you are committing yourself to being healthy, why? Is it because you want to look good at a high school reunion, or is it because you want to live a happy and long, healthy life for your family? Make sure you fully understand your motivation, and that it’s more than a passing whim.

Two, start small. When you start with smaller goals, you are more apt to find success early on, and with success comes more confidence and more skills to manage obstacles than may arise. Instead of a commitment to “be healthy,” which is fairly large in scope, try committing to drinking six to eight glasses of water a day, or exercising three days a week.

Three, enlist the help of people close to you. This part can be a little scary to some people. Once you let people in on your plan, you make yourself vulnerable to comments and judgment, and you have an audience when you slip up. However, the support is critical, and the accountability is crucial to your success. You’re more apt to stick to your exercise schedule when you’re not the only one who knows you’re on an exercise schedule. Choose to share your commitment with those who are the most supportive and positive-the ones who will encourage you and praise you when you find successes, and the ones who will be there for you when you fall.

And finally, if you fall off the horse, get back on-immediately! Assuming you are human, it is likely you are not perfect. You might have a day of ice cream and French fries. Fess up, and eat right the next day, and the day after that. Don’t dwell on the mistake; dwell on what you do to correct it. Remember that successful people fail, just like everyone else. What makes them successful is their ability to get back on track and stay focused on their commitment. You do not fail when you fall off the horse-you are a failure only if you do not get back on.

Start thinking about the commitments you want to make in your life, and remember: choose things that are truly important to you. If you don’t have the right motive, you’re more likely to not follow through. Start small. Choose something achievable so you can build your confidence. Let the people you care about know about your commitment so that you can be accountable to more than just yourself. And when you slip up, don’t quit. Refocus on your commitment and get moving!

What’s in this publication: – This month we take a look at watching what we say and what we think. We also have the inspirational quote for the month, Card Reading – ‘Delight’ from Denise Linn’s Soul Coaching Oracle Cards. What Your Thoughts May Be Telling You.

Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué.

The card reading this month somehow acted as the trigger for what I want to convey. In our reality there are two things happening at once – the so called reality, also referred to as the facts and our created experience or our interaction with this set of circumstances. How we react between the two is pretty much up to how we think and speak about our experience.

Within a given set of circumstances we can experience many different realities. All too often we will knuckle down and speak our way into a harder reality and sacrifice our pleasure and joy in the experience.

On previous occasions I have drawn attention to basic life principles that can help to make life simpler, more enjoyable and that greatly assist us to achieve our aims. Basically most of our adages, proverbs and axioms provide perfect keys to the best ways to conduct our lives and our affairs.

Sayings  like: ‘What you say is what you get’; ‘What you eat today, walks and talks tomorrow’; ‘To get a smile, give a smile’; ‘Smile and the world smiles with you’; ‘Think rich and grow rich’; ‘You get out of life what you put into it’; ‘Your attitude today, determines your reality tomorrow’; ‘Be happy’, and so on. These are just a few of a very large list that we could compile, and every one of them gives a clue how to get more out of our lives.

Most of these sayings are expressed in a positive light, leading us to a greater experience or a better result, and fortunately only a few are expressed negatively, making it easier for us to adopt them and bring positive improvement into our lives.

Then there are the things we say that can devalue us, rob us of our energy and just make life plainly miserable and difficult. These we must try to avoid like the plaque, before they get the chance to play havoc in our lives. I occasionally fall into this trap myself, and when I don’t correct myself, I’m fortunate to have Sue to set me back on the right path.

Here’s what I mean. It seems economies all around the world are in a bit of a predicament at the moment and that’s the reality, but how we react to it and talk about it is another thing. We were with a group of friends when the conversation changed to the economy and I was asked how we were doing. My response was that we were working a whole lot harder for smaller reward and that things could only get worse.

Next thing I knew we had all fallen into the trap and were bemoaning our fate. Sue stepped in and asked if we wanted more of what we were talking down, or did we want to talk it up and give ourselves a better chance of improving our situations and creating our fate. We took her lesson on board and chose our words more carefully.

What you say, especially when backed by emotion is pretty much what you’ll get!

Now, none of us can get away from the facts of the matter, but how we talk about it and react to it can make a real difference in our ultimate experience of that same situation.

On another day a friend was saying all the pleasure was going from his life, that all he was doing was working hard and meeting commitments with little time for the joys of life.  Naturally I had to step in and remind him of his words. He changed his words and changed his attitude and now he’s off in pursuit of his favourite pastime. Pleasure has returned to his life even though he is still working hard and meeting his commitments.

What we say to ourselves really does matter and what we say and act upon can give us a life of pain or a life of pleasure and joy…..and yet the facts remain the same!

Inspirational quote for the month:

Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow.

Card reading:

This month I was thinking “now what do we want to know, and which cards should I pick for the reading.” An irresistible urge led to pick up Denise Linn’s ‘Soul Coaching’ Oracle cards, which are also sub titled ‘What Your Soul Wants You to Know.’ Decision made!  Now all that was required was to select the card. I had just started to shuffle, when a card popped out of the deck. It was ‘Delight.’

I used to play a lot of cards in my younger days and I hardly ever spilled the deck when shuffling, so it always amazes me how certain cards manage to jump out to be the one(s) selected.  This month it seems we all need to be reminded to take delight in what we are doing and fill everything we do with more joy and wonder.

You may purchase your own set of Oracle Cards here.

Delight

Card Meaning: Clap your hands with joy and let your inner child play. Be silly or play hooky and take the day off. This isn’t the time to buckle down and get to work; this is when you should be madcap and spontaneous. Have fun!

Your soul wants you to know: Your spirit guardians are delighted when you’re filled with childlike wonder, joy, and exuberance! When just one person experiences true delight, this joyous energy radiates outwards like ripples in a pool, reaching even the furthest shores of humanity. Your pleasure can rejuvenate you and can have a powerful healing effect on others.

Affirmation: “I delight in everything in my world, and divine joy fills me!”

What Your Thoughts May Be Telling You

By Amanda J. Mirza

Thinking brings up a powerful body-mind response. Whether you are thinking about the past or the future, what you are seeing in your mind’s eye is imaginary. Yet your body is responding as if the event is happening in real time. Let’s do a quick experiment: Close your eyes and breathe in and out deeply, clearing your mind. Now, think about some freshly baked bread. Can you smell it? Now, imagine you feel an insect crawling up your arm. Your body may have reacted by cringing or your heart rate may have increased slightly. These body-mind responses to what you are visualizing cause reactions, both physical and emotional, even though the event occurred only in your mind.

Recently, there was a news article quoting research that found most people spend most of their time thinking about the past. Take a moment to reflect on your own thought patterns. What percent of time do you spend reflecting on or recalling the past? Some people might say they spend more time thinking about possible future scenarios. What about you? Contrasting to these two, what amount of thoughts do you dedicate to thinking what is going on at the present moment?

Let’s look at some of these thought patterns individually.

Imagining possibilities

Your imaginary interactions with a certain situation or person can illustrate your underlying feelings, including highlighting your dissatisfaction with a present situation. For example, in a previous relationship, I used to fight with a boyfriend in my head all the way home from work. When I arrived home I was in a foul mood and angry at my boyfriend. The results of these imaginary fights were disastrous because I wasn’t able to separate the imaginary from the real. In my head, my boyfriend and I were having heated arguments. In real life, I was treating my boyfriend as if the argument had actually happened, thus negatively affecting our relationship. Underlying this was my desire to end what I knew was an unhealthy relationship.

Your daydreams hold clues to your underlying mindset. On the surface, you may see negative or positive themes, but if you look deeper you can see what you are ‘telling’ yourself. Constantly fighting with someone may be showing issues that need to be addressed in the relationship. Consistently imagining things going wrong at work may show you are unhappy with your current job and it might be time to move on; although, perhaps you are just bored and need to ask for more responsibility or a new project, for example.

Examine even positive interactions. Imagining you are on a wonderful holiday trip may be telling you it’s high time you got a break. Or you might be imagining everything as hunky-dory, but the underlying passive behaviour of your imaginary interaction tells a different story.

It is key to remember that while you are imagining these things, your mind doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality. Controlled by your mind, your body is responding as if the situation actually occurred. Hence, paying attention to your daydreams and addressing problem areas will help bring you health in mind, body, and spirit.

It is also important to note that daydreaming isn’t necessarily unhealthy! What we are focusing on here is the hidden messages we send ourselves through our daydreams.

Here is an example of how daydreams may contain subtle messages for you to decode:

Suppose you find yourself daydreaming about a scenario of being attacked, maybe on the street. In the scenario, you may or may not be successful fending off the attackers, or a ‘hero’ could come in and save you. What could you be telling yourself? Some possibilities include: You might be afraid of the future. Or perhaps you feel threatened in some way, by a situation or a person you interact with. Alternatively, you could be playing out a victim mindset by literally casting yourself as a victim. Do you victimize yourself in your every day speech by saying classic lines such as, “Why does this always happen to me?”

Or perhaps you are the person who saves another being attacked. In this case, you might have a ‘hero complex’. While it is valiant to help others, in these scenarios you might be searching for more self-worth, which you artificially get when you ’save’ the imaginary person. I’ve noticed that sometimes such scenarios pop up in my head when I am nervous or scared about doing something. Then I run through how I’ve prepared, take a deep breath, and keep going.

This section wouldn’t be complete without talking about how we sometimes project our anticipation and/or fear of future outcomes onto present situations, such as job interviews, presentations, meeting someone for the first time, or how our mate will respond to a suggestion. Do you see yourself getting the job? Are people applauding you and accepting your proposal? Or do you see yourself getting negative reactions from the people you interact with? This can tell you about subtle underlying insecurities, or your confidence in handling the proposed situation.

There is an important point I’d like to bring up here: Can visualizing a positive outcome help you achieve it? An old high school teacher told me that students who visualized themselves doing well on a test before entering the exam hall performed better than students who crammed right up to the last moment. Almost every successful person I’ve heard speak also discussed the importance of visualizing the outcomes they desired in great detail. Visualizing is another form of brainwashing. So, are you programming yourself with positive or negative outcomes?

Retro-active thinking

Past hurts can have the potential to become juicy bones that we hoard and gnaw on. As the character Vivi in the movie Divine secrets of the Ya-Ya sisterhood said, “You know me, I take a problem and chew on it until all the flavour’s gone, and then I stick it in my hair.” Whatever past issue you find your mind replaying and focusing on, it’s telling you what you are still ‘carrying’ from the past. There may be several things in layers or just one.

If you find yourself in such a situation, ask yourself what past hurts you are brooding over. Do you need to forgive someone? Even yourself? Are you still angry at someone from ten years ago? Perhaps you need to accept that you did your best in a situation and start focusing on what you learned from it, instead of what went wrong? Is the fear of a past situation still gripping you? How are those emotions making their way into your everyday interactions?

If you are calling up past fights alongside having new imaginary fights with someone, then you might be telling yourself you need to have a good long heart-to-heart with that person (and yes, they are not usually easy or very comfortable to do). Alternatively, you might be rehashing a situation and imagining how you would have preferred it to have turned out; there are emotions there that need to be dealt with so you can let the situation go.

If for some reason you can’t have a face to face talk, then you can try using meditative visualization to have a heart-to-heart talk in your head. To do this, sit quietly for a few minutes and breathe deeply and slowly. Imagine you are somewhere peaceful, like a meadow. Call the person into your mind and once you see them arrive and sit in front of you, begin the conversation. Express clearly how you feel about what they did, what happened, or say the things you never got the chance to. Just like talking in person, use “I feel” statements and leave any judgements at the door. Allow the person time to respond-listen to your intuition to judge whether you are hearing that person’s responses or merely putting words into their imaginary mouth. At the end, thank them for coming, ask them to leave and imagine them going off into another lovely meadow. This handy practice may initially take a little practice, but once you get good at visualization, it can work wonders to help you let go of unhealthy past issues.

If you deal with one scenario of a past situation and let it go, sometimes another layer may surface. Just like layers of sediment in the soil, your unresolved past experiences build up one on top of the other. Be patient with yourself as you work to clear away all the dirt.

Emotional addiction

As you start examining what you are thinking about, one thing to be aware of is the possibility of emotional addiction. Emotional addiction is just as it sounds, getting addicted to having a certain emotional reaction and thus pursuing situations where you will get it. This is a topic worthy of its own discussion, so we’ll save it for another issue.

I hope this essay helped increase your awareness of how recurrent thoughts, daydreams and recollections from the past may be affecting you. As you move forward, begin to analyse what you are daydreaming about and/or recalling from the past. Look for any hidden messages you may be telling yourself about situations or people. Once you have a message figured out, you now have something concrete to work on clearing out. This is the first step to resolving underlying issues.

Now that you know the power of being aware of your thoughts, improving your concentration will help you to monitor what you are thinking more closely. Get the complimentary e-book “The Power of Concentration” from http://www.forthewholewoman.com now, and start changing your mind – literally.

What’s in this publication: – This month we take a look at the balance of our body, mind and spirit, along with the role of sugar in escalating obesity levels: IT’S NOT OUR FAULT WE’RE FAT. We also have the inspirational quote for the month, Card Reading – ‘There’s nothing to worry about’. Message from Archangel Michael – “A light epidemic is sweeping Earth”

Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué.

Around this time every year we have the Mind, Body, Spirit Festival in Brisbane, and at other times in each state throughout Australia, with similar shows held annually in many other countries. The thing I really enjoy about these events is the way they remind us that we are body mind and spirit, connected, all wrapped up into one—complete—our humanness —our very being.

It is the synchronization and balance of these three divisions of our being that leads to harmony, joy and exuberance for life. I am sure we all know of examples among our friends and acquaintances of those who have placed too much emphasis on just one or maybe two of these components.

With the physical, we see among them the gym junkies, the beauty parlour attendees,—every one trying hard to be primmed, preened and perfectly presented, all very heavily invested in their physical appearance.

With those of the mind we see among them, those deeply weighted in intellectual pursuit, often to the expense of common sense, frequently to the point of not being able to interact with the general populace.

And of course those who are so lost in their spiritual quest, that they have lost touch with reality and the requirements for human interaction preferring to live with the pixies.

All of this points to the need to live in a balanced and grounded way, paying equal attention to our whole self. I know this appears very obvious, but it’s good for all of us to be reminded from time to time.

You could even say that helping and reminding us to keep this harmony is one of the aims of WhollyMetaphysical. This is a very loose translation: (W)Holly – spiritual; Meta – mind; Physical – body.

Also there are those who use and present the opposite energy or vibration, (or perhaps lack of it), barely able to get out of their own way, appearing dull and dim-witted, with not a spiritual bone in their body.

Too many of us have partaken in the niceties of our modern lifestyle and prosperity to the point of obsessiveness, overindulgence and obesity, leading us to become complacent and also self satisfied, but to the detriment of our being and greater good.

But in regard to obesity most of us are probably victims of our lack of information along with the misguided and sometimes deliberate misrepresentation of this information.

When it comes to the physical aspect of our being, our long term healthy survival is dependent upon proper attention; keeping ourselves as lean, mean fighting machines (not as in hostility and warfare, but keeping disease and illness at bay and maintaining fitness and energy levels), much as our forebears from a few generations back did.

It seems our sweet tooth and our industrialised food production may play a greater role than we have thought or been taught, with sugar or more particularly fructose being the culprit in most of today’s obesity epidemic and pretty much to blame for the increase in diabetes and at least complicit in the burgeoning number of heart complaints and strokes.

Before the late eighteen hundreds sugar was very expensive and rare, with the normal source for most being fruit, which was not as plentiful then as today. Nowadays we eat copious amounts of the stuff, concentrated in delicious sweets, fruit juices, along with many spoonfuls added to our beverages and sprinkled onto almost every thing we can. On top of this we gluttonize with several soft drinks daily. Any wonder we are fighting and mostly loosing the battle of the bulge.

Anyway the other day I came across David Gillespie’s book ‘Sweet Poison – Why Sugar Makes Us Fat’ and it made so much sense to me that I am recommending it to you. Here are the words from the back cover of his book:

David Gillespie was 40kg overweight, lethargic, sleep deprived and the father of four, with twins on the way. He knew he needed to lose weight fast, but he had run out of diets – all had failed.

After doing some reading on evolution (why weren’t our forebears fat?) David cut sugar – specifically fructose – from his diet. He immediately started to lose weight, and kept it off. Slim, trim and fired up, David set out to look at the connection between sugar, our soaring obesity rates and some of the more worrying diseases of the twenty-first century, and discovered some startling facts in the process.

IT’S NOT OUR FAULT WE’RE FAT

• Sugar was once such a rare resource that nature decided we didn’t need an off switch – in other words, we can keep eating sugar without feeling full.
• In the space of 150 years, we have gone from eating no added sugar to more than a kilogram a week.
• You would need to run 7km every day of your life just to not put on weight as a result of eating that much sugar.
• Two decades ago 1 in 44 adult Australians were obese; that figure is now 1 in 5.
• The natural sugar in one glass of unsweetened fruit juice per day is enough to add just over 2.5 kilos to your waistline.
• The more sugar we eat, the more we want. Food manufacturers exploit our sugar addiction by lacing it through ‘non-sweet’ products, such as bread, sauces, soups and cereals.

Sweet Poison exposes one of the great health scourges of our time and offers a wealth of practical and accessible information on how to avoid fructose, increase your enjoyment of food and lose weight.

REVELATIONS FROM THE MIND BODY SPIRIT SHOW.

There were some interesting revelations from the show and I would like to share a couple. One of them was a total and curious surprise to us: As we were walking around from stall to stall, engaging the participants, many of those we did not know where saying to Sue, “How did you manage to drag him along?” or inferring to me that I must have been coerced into being there. Strange I can’t fathom it. What do you make of it?

Maybe, as there were about 8 women to each man among the attendees, with very few older couples, this may have something to do with it. Or perhaps there is some inference that men generally have no interest in such matters, which I guess from their point of view, is supported by the disproportion in the numbers. Yet, in contradiction, a large number of the exhibitors and many of the leaders in the field are men.

But then, perhaps this makes a little sense of it. Waiting in the queue to buy tickets was a young couple. He very obviously didn’t want to be there and was making it clear he really wanted to be up the road at the Tradie’s Show (I guess he was getting dragged along). I know I wasn’t supposed to overhear the offered bribe for him to stay, but I can’t say I blame him for doing so.

An hour or so later our progress was slowed in the aisle near the psychic readers, and they where right in front of us again. She was asking him to humour her and go in for a reading, which he reluctantly did, while protesting that it was a sham and a waste of time.

Coincidentally (really), we were sitting next to them a little later, when we took a break for a cuppa and a bite to eat. What a transition, this young man was going on and on about how a complete stranger could know so much about him and accurately describe family members and have such clear insight and understanding of his situations. His transformation now well underway he was looking forward to the rest of the day. A little later we saw them in one of the booths lapping up the vibrations of a drum healing, and then having an in-depth discussion with a Reiki healer, and as we were returning to say goodbye to friends and colleagues working there, and just prior to our departure I spotted him joining in a yoga class.

Now, admittedly he got bribed into staying, but I’m sure he will be the richer for it and no longer blinded to the greater realities of life, with a more balanced blend of mind, body and spirit. And, by the way, if she kept her promise, I doubt he had much energy for or interest in attending the tradie’s show the following day.

Card reading:

This month I was uncertain which direction to go in, some issues in my own life seemed to be colouring and clouding my bearing and choices, but I managed to become clear and hold the proper space to proceed.  Strangely, (and I guess I really should know better, shouldn’t I) I found the message on the card talking to me

Doreen Virtue cards

loudly and personally, as I am sure the message will do for many of you. In any event I am sure its message provides a guiding principle which we should run our lives with: “There’s nothing to worry about,” selected from Doreen Virtue’s, ‘Daily Guidance from your Angels’ Oracle cards.

THERE’S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

You are safe and this situation is under the perfect control of Divine providence and universal order. Only infuse loving thoughts and emotions into the situation to ensure that the highest possible outcome flows effortlessly to and through you.

The angels send this card to you because you’ve been needlessly worrying. Worry is a form of prayer that draws to you that which you do not desire. Release your worries to your angels, as there truly is nothing to worry about. In fact your worries could create a self fulfilling prophecy.

Additional meaning for this card: Everything is much better than you imagine • Ask the angels to release you from worry • A happy outcome is inevitable • Avoid worrying, lest the negative emotions pull you and the situation down • The angels are with you and everything is okay.

We have had a number of requests asking for more of the transmitted monthly messages from Archangel Michael, so it is our pleasure to present this month’s transmission.

Message from Archangel Michael

“A LIGHT EPIDEMIC IS SWEEPING THE EARTH”

Transmitted Through Ronna Herman

Beloved masters, there is a Light epidemic whereby every person on Earth is being bombarded by the refined frequencies of God Light; however, each person can only absorb and integrate the frequencies of Light that their physical vessels can accommodate. You must be able to metabolize the God Light in order to benefit from it and make use of it.

Remember this term: MEMBRANES OF LIGHT, for it is important that this concept is clearly defined within your mind. There were membranes of Light placed across your memory when you began your journey into the illusionary realities of the third / fourth dimensions. There were membranes of Light placed at the entryway to your Sacred Mind and your Sacred Heart. There was / is a membrane of Light surrounding your Third Eye / your inner sight. When your Higher Self determines it is time for your Third Eye to open, it will be as if you received a surge of Sacred energy upon your brow. These specialized frequencies open the Seed Crystals of Light within the Pineal Gland, which initiates the ability for telepathic communication.

Most of you have heard of the Ring-Pass-Not, a thin Membrane of Light Radiation, which encircled the planet. It was a restrictive quarantine of sorts which was gradually dissolved from the Earth’s atmosphere, and the Cosmic information flood gates were flung open so that the next level of Cosmic Wisdom could pour forth to a select group of World Servers / Cosmic Messengers. Everyone if these brave Souls have, for many lifetimes, been in an intense preparatory stage in the higher realms.. This intense training period was necessary in order to bring forth these advanced teachings in an accurate, orderly and timely method. It is Cosmic Law that you must integrate and experience each level of new truth in order to move to the next, more advanced level. It is a unique and specialized path of initiation. The Ascended Masters of the Cosmic Council of Light do not openly teach in public. They work entirely through their disciples and initiates, mostly by conveying inspiration. Initiates work on the mental levels, also mostly behind the scenes. However, a select group are actively teaching out in the world, for inspiring others to become World Servers is their most important task.

Those of you who have steadfastly followed the Path that was designed for you are quickly coming to a state of completion for the particular stage of en-Lighten-ment you have been in for the past ten years. When you attain true Self-mastery, your thoughts and words will become harmless, for criticism and negativity cannot dwell in the Light of love and truth. Service is an intrinsic impulse of the Soul-self, just as desire is the major impulse of the ego.

archangel michael

Your transition from the impulses or nudgings of the emotional, ego-desire body to the inspirational thoughts of the Soul and the Higher Self, have mostly been accomplished. Your focus has moved toward group consciousness and how to serve humanity. You are also well on your way in the transition from I / me / my selfish interests to a we / our unity consciousness. The intuitive thoughts you receive and the guidance from your guides, angelic helpers and Higher Self become stronger as you integrate more pure God Light. Your personal reality expands from a small-world focus of a me / my consciousness to an expanded consciousness which includes the world, the solar system and beyond. No longer do you respond to painful events in life as fateful or punishment, for you realize they are challenges and opportunities for growth.

You are swiftly moving out of the energy vortex, or collective consciousness band of thought forms created by humanity, for it is a vortex of violent activity. Ascension is a process whereby you consciously move forward into higher and higher levels of the energy / vibrational fields of your *OverSouls; forever moving forward into more rarified fields of Divine Energy called the higher dimensions.

(*OverSouls / same as your many Higher Selves) RH.

Your Soul is aware of the imbalances you brought forth from the past and also those you have created in this lifetime. It will do everything possible to bring these imbalances to your attention so you can rectify the imperfections and develop harmonious attunement with the next level of your Higher Self. That is the Soul’s main purpose for being. Your Soul and Higher Selves will also make every effort to raise your vibrational frequencies and to harmonize the fluctuating energies of the emotional and mental bodies. As you progress on the Path and begin to tap into the higher vibrational patterns of Light, you will experience the effects of the intensity of the frequencies of Cosmic Sacred Fire / heat. You will be affected by the fiery forces of Creation in three ways: Fire by Friction: Fire of Body ** Solar Fire: Fire of Soul **Electromagnetic Fire: Fire of Spirit.

Eventually, you will learn to recognize the source of the frequency patterns of the various Beings of Light that you are to work with. You will also be able to differentiate between the subtle forces and the Rays. You must strive to become a Divine observer and a master of detachment.

You know who you are, we do not have to tell you. We ask you to steadfastly maintain your Center of Power within your Sacred Heart as you are drawn into the higher levels of World Service. As you move deeper and deeper into the realm of the Ascended Masters, your chosen path of service should become easier–almost effortless. Your major challenges and tests are behind you as you draw greater amounts of God Light to you. The warring factions within will slowly release their hold on you as they submit to the transformative vibrations of Love. My brave warriors of peace, as your Light shines brighter out into the world, you must be vigilant so that you will do nothing which will make you a focal point for negative vibrational forces. You are learning to be a director of the Higher Forces. As you refine your skills of Self-mastery, you will learn to identify the quality and force of all energy around you.

In every era and major cycle, Cosmic Wisdom and Divine Truth are made available to those with open minds and loving hearts. It is time for an understanding of where humankind stands on the ladder of evolution. Each person must gain the knowledge of and have a desire to fulfill his / her personal destiny.

You must understand where and how you fit within the group dynamics.

1. First, you will become what is called an aspirant on the Path.

2. After you achieve a certain amount of balance and harmony within, and have gained access to your Sacred Mind and Sacred Heart, you become an Initiate on the Path.

3. After the first level of Self-awareness is reached, you become a disciple / Light worker. (In the past, this journey into Soul-awareness was described as moving through the levels of initiation. This term no longer applies).

4. Eventually, the time arrives when you have successfully dissolved the membranes of Light which guard the entrance to your Sacred Heart and Sacred Mind. As you refine your Energetic Signature and your Soul Song, you will elevate your capacity to quickly turn information / knowledge into wisdom (integrating and practicing the higher wisdom truths you have accepted as your own), so that you may move from the Hall of Learning into the Hall of Wisdom of the higher Mental plane. By this time, you are well on your way to becoming a Self-master and you are ready to become a World Server.

FOR ALL OF YOU ON THE PATH, your major goal at this time is to return the vibrational patterns, which make up your personal world in the third- / fourth-dimensional reality, to the originally designed Spectrum* of Light and shadow. By doing so, your pendulum of consciousness will not swing so radically from positive to negative and your mental and emotional natures will once more become stabilized and centered. This is an important step in learning to live centered within your Sacred Heart and Sacred Mind. A disciple on the Path of en-Lighten-ment must strive for heart-centered detachment and wise discernment.

(*Spectrum – noun (pl. spectra) 1. A band of colors produced by separation of the components of Light by their different degrees of refraction, e.g. in a rainbow. 2. The entire range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. 3.The components of a sound or other phenomenon arranged according to frequency, energy). RH

In the unawakened person, more choices are made unconsciously than through intelligent awareness. It is as if they are in a semi-conscious state of awareness. The initial phase of becoming a Self-aware person is to realize that he/she is not consciously awake. This begins the process of striving to awaken to the nudgings of the Soul-self, for this is an intrinsic part of becoming spiritually aware and a master of Self.

When you succumb to irritation and respond in loud, angry words or thoughts, you are using astral energy that is contaminating to the auric field. Continued use will build a negative thought form that must eventually be resolved/dissolved via the Law of the Circle. Envision your negative thought forms adding another stone or brick to your emotional prison. Remember: you are composed of units of energy, which create your Energetic Signature, and ultimately your Soul Song. You must learn to control your thoughts and focus your power. Your thoughts will increase in strength according to the intensity and repetition of your Seed Thoughts. Dear hearts learn to focus on the highest and best attributes of people and conditions within your inner circle of Light–this is one of the most important aspects of creating your personal fifth-dimensional environment.

The language of the unconscious and subconscious minds is primarily imagery. The refinement of the subconscious and conscious minds and attunement to the Superconscious mind are greatly speeded up by the deliberate practice and perfecting of the imagery and visualization skills.

The Soul needs a vehicle of expression on the physical plane in order to bring forth the power and magnificence of Creation. You must rise above and shelter yourself from the emotional chaos of the mass consciousness existence; however, you must also function efficiently among the masses, and spread your Light as you go about daily life. You cannot live in a detached world and forsake the material world in order to attain en-Lighten-ment. Becoming an unrealistic, vague mystic serves no one. The introspective, inward-focused meditative practices of the Eastern philosophies are being joined with the creative, outward-focused practices of the Western world.

In a third- / fourth-dimensional environment, your mental body is prone to projecting into the future, which creates fear and uncertainty. The emotional body is always replaying the events of the past, some fond memories, but mostly reliving experiences of failure or pain. The present moment is hardly registered at all unless there is some positive or negative drama involved.

You must strive for a strong, highly-developed connection between the mental and emotional bodies, and also between the Soul and Higher Self in order to develop refined spiritual values. As you tap into the higher frequencies of Divine Wisdom, brilliant ideas pour forth from the higher planes of intuition. You may experience exhilaration one moment and depression the next as you gradually achieve a blissful state of awareness, only to lose it again. However, the times of depression will grow less intense and also less frequent. Be assured that your ego desire body will rebel and resist the efforts of the Soul and the Higher Self, and will try to keep you in your habitual practices/habits of serving only the little self and its selfish desires. You must tap into the realm of the Sacred Mind and learn spiritual discernment. You must constantly monitor and critique your words, deeds and motives as you train yourself and gain discipline over the little self. Remember: ALL knowledge is a form of Light.

You must strive to understand your role and purpose for this lifetime. You must turn inward in order to understand who you really are, why you act and react the way you do and how to tap into your greatest talent and potential abilities. This should be your major goal at this time. Reflection, contemplation and active meditation will unlock the mystery of your true Self, and what your major goals are for this lifetime.

You are an energy center, a receptacle / physical body which contains a measure of pure Creator Essence. You are responsible for integrating and using the Light Energy you need to empower yourself and you must then send forth the balance out into the world, for the benefit of all.

Submission to your Divine Mission and to Cosmic Law means adherence to all Universal Laws as they are revealed to you. Walking the path of ascension requires a constant effort to make the highest choices for the greatest good, with an intense desire to serve. You must take responsibility for all actions and the energy you qualify, whether positive or negative, for it will return to you via the Law of the Circle.

Your present earthly goal is to become a World Server, and the quickest way to attain this level of Self-mastery is to stimulate the flame of God Power within. Self-mastery is attained in small increments, not giant leaps.

Dear hearts no matter the level of Spiritual / Self-awareness you have attained, we encourage you to make the Path to higher awareness a priority in your life. The world and the reality you have lived and experienced in the past is swiftly changing. You have a golden opportunity to join the ranks of those who are creating a bright new world for themselves and their loved ones. You also have the right to remain in the negative environment of the lower world of reality that is swiftly being cleansed, cleared and modified, thus creating the chaos and monumental changes the masses and the Earth are now experiencing. Which will you choose? Whatever your choice, we will guide and protect you to the limits of Cosmic Law, and we will always love you beyond measure.

What’s in this publication: – This month we take a look at the story of a $20.00 bill.  We also have the inspirational quote for the month, Card Reading – ‘Affirmations’ from Doreen Virtue’s, ‘Magical Messages from the Fairies’ Oracle cards and Appreciation and Gratitude – The Keys to a Happy Life?

Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué.

Perhaps you have noticed that the Universe is constantly communicating with us. Of course the more ‘aware’ you are, the more this is a part of your reality and the more you count on it to steer you through your life journey. It really is a wonderful navigation system.

Well, the other day I was sitting, waiting for my appointment with my chiropractor when I noticed a crumpled up piece of paper on the seat beside me. My reaction demonstrated that I really had improved in this area. Years ago I would have gotten quite upset with this careless persons lack of care, thoughtlessness and act of littering. This piece of paper would have been indicative of the much larger problem of world pollution and acted as a catalyst to set me off and put me emotionally off centre.

I noticed how calm I was and that this piece of paper, while it did cause me to think of the effect of littering and the bigger picture of wide spread pollution, along with its inherent problems, my reaction was more reasoned and composed. Aha! I thought the universe has shown me how much more in control I am of my emotions and reactions, also that every action, whether negative or positive can have far reaching effects. I reached for the paper to dispatch it to the bin behind the receptionist desk.

As I did this, I dispassionately thought, why is it that some people can’t even be bothered to dispose of their rubbish properly, when it’s such an easy and simple task to do. Immediately I wondered, was this another judgement on my part, or a legitimate question seeking an answer? As I crumbled the piece of paper even more, I realised I would have to do some small bit to raise awareness of this problem, even if it was just to remind some of us to be aware of our actions. I guess I just did this!

It is naturally very important for us to look after our physical environment, just as it is our metaphysical environment. Litter and dross accumulate and can easily destroy our lifestyle on both spiritual and physical planes. Our actions have a way of feeding back to us. So, be very careful how you treat all your environments. But I have digressed, so let me get back to it.

Sometimes gems of wisdom show up in the strangest of places, as I was about to dispatch the offending paper to the bin, I had an overwhelming impression I should read it. So I did! And here is what it said:

$20 Bill

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill.

In the room of 200, he asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?”

Hands started going up.

He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this.”

He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, “Who still wants it?”

Still the hands were up in the air.

“Well,” he asked, “What if I do this?”

And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now who still wants it?”

Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who
DO LOVE you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special – Don’t EVER forget it”

If you do not pass this on, you may never know the lives it touches,             the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can bring.
Count your blessings, not your problems.
And remember; amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic.
If God brings you to it – He will bring you through it.
Pass this message to seven people except you and me.
You will receive a miracle tomorrow.

I personally needed to read these words, for even though I was standing strong and resolute, some events and circumstances where chipping into my normally positive outlook and sense of self worth, good judgement and belief in the fairness in life.

It reminded me that we all need to remember who we really are and our true value. I remember my mother telling me when I was a child that “she would never sell me, not even for all the money in the world,” though on occasion she said she had been tempted. I guess that makes me pretty valuable!

But more importantly, this little piece of paper just solved another problem for me. Later that day I had an appointment with one of my clients, and I had been thinking of ways to deal with her major issue. I needed to help her see she was not worthless and to recognise her real value. Life had knocked her around and she was really suffering.

Somehow I now knew this crumpled piece of paper had been waiting for me to discover it, for it contained the very essence I needed to convey to my client later that day. I now no longer needed to evolve a plan to be of assistance to her, I just knew, all that was needed was for her to read it.

She did and afterward just sat there silently for several minutes, and then she said “How ironic, as I started to read I thought why does he want me to read a dirty crumpled piece of paper. Then as I got into it, I wanted to stay with it. I was opening to its message. The line ‘if God brings it to you – He will bring you through it,’ well it reminded me of my faith and I began to feel again and to open up.”

I couldn’t miss the tears in her eyes as she went on, “As I read the last words, you wouldn’t believe it, I saw my (deceased) mother standing before me and I heard her words just as I had many times in my younger life, ‘my child I wouldn’t trade you for all the money in the world’” She left my clinic with a smile on her face, reminded of her true and intrinsic value.

The message on this crumpled piece of paper had made my job easy, as I had instinctively sensed it might.

At first I wasn’t going to reproduce the bit about passing it on to seven people, as I thought it smacked of the old chain letter, but it does bring hope of receiving a miracle, so I left it as is. And it’s good to be reminded just as I looked back at my own life; it’s true that my blessings far outweigh my problems!

Appreciation and Gratitude – The Keys to a Happy Life?

By Si Duncan

Gratitude is fashionable. Not that there was ever a time when gratitude wasn’t part of your life (hopefully), but at the moment if you open up any book, blog or bag relating to spirituality or personal growth, you will probably find some reference to how good it is to give gratitude, and how it will attract all manner of benefits into your life. Appreciation is less fashionable but, in my view, every bit as important. So what are they, what are the differences and why are they so key to a happy life?

Gratitude and appreciation are, in essence, two sides of the same coin. And that coin is love. Let’s look at gratitude first of all.

Gratitude is all about giving – giving love in the form of thanks. When you give gratitude you are grateful for something that has happened or that has come into your life and you are expressing that. You may do so in words or in writing or by your actions. Of course it is one thing to say thank you and another to really give thanks from your heart. True gratitude is unconditional giving and is not connected with some sort of deal or lack ie I’ll be grateful so that I get good things back in return.

Appreciation is all about receiving love and allowing it to flow in. When you appreciate something you are opening your heart and accepting love from the object or person of your appreciation. Once again true appreciation is about having an open heart and is not about responding to a need or lack.

Strangely, people (at least in western society) tend not to be very good at either gratitude or appreciation, though that is not to say that you cannot learn. One would have thought that there is nothing more delightful than to give and receive love, and it is true. It is just that one can get rather hung up with issues relating to trust and worth and so most expressions of gratitude and appreciation come with terms and conditions.

How can you change this so that you can be truly grateful and appreciative?

The answer, like so many things, lies in the heart, as well as a bit of straight forward practice and persistence.

As you give gratitude you are offering up a connection to the love within you. You are spreading love into the world through a particular focus – usually towards someone else. Of course you can only give love if you are able to reach the love that is within you (and that is always there no matter what).

Connection is key to appreciation as well, though this time the love is coming to you and asking to be accepted and it is your job to allow that love in. Like gratitude you need to open your heart for that to happen.

So an open heart and a connection with the love within is crucial for both gratitude and appreciation. An open heart will allow love to flow both in and out unimpeded. So try this.

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Each time as you breath out, say to yourself ‘Let go’ and feel yourself letting go of everything. Then allow the love that is always there in your heart start to spread out into your body until you feel yourself completely filled. Continue to let this love spread until you are surrounded by it. You may experience this as a profound feeling, or a sense of being filled with and surrounded by light. You may feel very connected or just very loving. Whatever you feel, in this state it will be completely natural to give gratitude and receive appreciation.

Practice it a little each day and gradually you will begin to find that true gratitude and appreciation becomes a natural part of your life.

And finally, to answer why this is key to a happy life. It’s simple really. Love is the only thing that really matters. Connect with love and allow it to flow and you will have a life filled with love, peace and joy.

May you be abundant in the riches of life:-
Health, Happiness, Love, Success and Prosperity.

What’s in this publication: – This month we take a look at ‘living in the now’.  We also have the inspirational quote for the month, Card Reading – ‘Give it to God’ from Sonia Choquette’s ‘The Answer is Simple’ oracle cards and ‘Life Is a River – 6 Tips to Live in Flow

Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué. Are you here? I mean are you really present and living in the moment? Or is your life being re-lived out of the past or in expectation of the future?

Interesting questions aren’t they? If you put them to me the other day, I would have responded that of course I live in the present. We all understand the importance of living in the now. In fact some of us would insist that there is no other place to be, for how could we be, or live any where else but in the place and time we find ourselves in.

Each year around this time, Sue and I usually get away for a week or two to our place up the coast, where we get to laze away some time; walk on the beach, relax in the spa, visit some great eateries and sit back and just watch events unfold. This is a wonderful and idyllic time, with just a little of it being handed back to some of the responsibilities we have taken on in our lives; this newsletter being one for example.

On the drive here, as I now reflect back, I was fully present; engrossed in drive itself, taking in each moment as the road unveiled itself before us and stopping and taking pleasure in a meal at a new cafe along the way. Knowing our destination and the way, we could make the most of the journey, giving little thought to anything else.

And then we were there, and there I was sitting back, relaxed and watching the sun set. It was then I caught myself—I noticed that I wasn’t there anymore—my consciousness had shifted. I had moved into the future; I was thinking about the visitors we were expecting over the coming week, anticipating walks on the beach in the morning, planning a visit to the local markets, considering where we might go for meals and where I would fit in the time to write this newsletter and a host of other matters.

That was it, that was the shock, I suddenly realised that I was no longer fully present in the here and now; I was off living a time that hadn’t arrived yet. How much of the sunset had I missed? I am not sure myself, but I know it was considerable.

A piece of my life had gone by unnoticed, as I lived an imaginary life that was yet to come!

Later that night, a word, a thought, a stray remembrance, I’m not sure what, but something had me taken me back to a previous time, as I realised that I had for some time been away with myself in the re-living and rehashing of a past event.

Again! A piece of my life had gone by unnoticed by me, as I lived an imaginary life, reshaping an event that could not be changed! How often do we do this? Reside in the fantasy world of our past or future, instead of presenting ourselves in the dream of our ever existent moment.

Now I am not talking here about the ‘in the moment’ activity of goal setting or planning, which is a conscious action made in current time to set a destination or a path. In this act, you are fully present much like the master of a ship who is determining his next port or destination. Then once determined you set off on your journey, ever present and experiencing each moment as it comes: This is a somewhat different experience to that of living in the past or future, instead of being fully present and alive NOW.

Another example of this phenomenon (not being present and making the most of here and now) was revealed over the last couple of days in passing conversations. Our first few days here were bright and sunny and in the last few days the weather has turned cold and bleak. I find this kind of weather presents a beauty and majesty all its own if you sit with it and experience it for what it is. It can also be an opportunity to hibernate and experience your inner world if you choose to.

However in talking with others, they revealed their desire to be elsewhere or in another time with conversations that were led with “if only the sun was out”, or if only it wasn’t so bleak and miserable we could be having a much better time”.  But the reality is that that much better time was available right there and then, just by being in it instead of sometime or someplace else!

One night as we were savouring dinner and each others company, we overheard a couple nearby whose conversation had moved to a rehash of an earlier event. Unfortunately for them they had moved their consciousness to reliving the hatred and bitterness of this previous time and the emotion had now flowed over into their now. What should have been an evening of bliss had now turned into a nightmare. But none of the reality of the past had changed, other than to spoil their present moment.

This shift to living other than in the present is not conducive to experiencing the best life has to offer. In fact it shortens and robs us of the fibre of our being and this activity should not be mistaken for the productive and valuable process of evaluating life’s events for its lessons and evaluations which can be used to help us on our way.

So I guess my message is that outside of a healthful analysis of our past and an optimistic evaluation and plan for our future, our time and our life is for living now.

The fifth day was a day of wonder and perhaps the culmination of determining to be more present in the moment, along with deciding to be happy. Somewhere in my past I heard the words “your future calls for you to be happy, so be happy now and the hell with how you feel.” I still haven’t fully mastered the attitude, but I give it my best shot. Like most things in life, our being happy is primarily a decision—made and kept.

On this day we awoke to another of those cold, wet and bleak days, but our walk along the beach was magical and alive, the atmosphere charged with the special energy that such days unfold. Earlier, with plenty of time on my hands I extended my meditation into a two hour session and somewhere in the middle I dropped deeper into the zone and experienced a prolonged period of bliss and euphoria that is not always achieved.

Lunch was a bit of a different story, things got mussed up in the restaurant kitchen, but having determined our attitude; somehow it got pulled together and turned out quite ok. It did help that we weren’t in a hurry. It was interesting to watch as some patrons turned their angst against the staff, getting more upset as they seemed to be drawn further into the confusion and fall further behind in the service.

In anticipation of an early dinner with friends, we decided to have a mid afternoon spa. It is located out in the open and as we entered into it, it was drizzling rain; but we were here to have a good time. Magic happened, the clouds parted and the sun shone warmly through, providing thirty minutes of bright rays of sunshine. Dinner extended into hours of reminiscences, scintillating conversation and exceptional cuisine.

Could there be rewards for our choice of mind and being; for being happy and for our doing our best to be present, front and centre in the moment? And given the choice, why do we sometimes go against our own best interest and choose otherwise? I have raised some good questions and now I hope you have some good answers.

Inspirational quote for the month:

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.
~ Groucho Marx ~

Oracle Cards are yet another way to help move us from our projections into the future and our analysis of the past and make a judgement or required decision now. They provide a way for us to access our divine guidance system to bring about a compassionate, creative and rewarding outcome.

Card reading:

This month’s card reading comes from ‘The Answer is Simple’ oracle cards by Sonia Choquette. Having sat and pondered our shared need for understanding and answers for this month I selected a card; the message revealed by this card being:

GIVE IT TO GOD

Our greatest challenge is to rise above our fears and trust in God, our loving Creator, to guide and protect our lives. Your ego would have you believe that it alone is the source of power that guards you, and only it can be trusted. This isn’t accurate and keeps you hostage to it.

Break free of fear seizing upon you now, and know in your heart and Spirit that God, your heavenly Creator, has got your back. In fact, the love of the Divine surrounds you completely, and the universe has a greater plan for you than your ego ever will.

Although you may not know the plan or see how the universe will protect you, trust that it will. Go within and call upon your Spirit to reassure you. Quiet the ego so that you begin to feel the love and protection of God. Your worry is doing you no good, so stop it. Reconnect with your Spirit and trust in God. You can.

Oracle Card sets are available online at our sister site – www.mycrystalaura.com.au or may be purchased in most book shops and new age stores.

Life Is a River – 6 Tips to Live in Flow by Cindy Yantis

“President Obama is in town.” Seems a simple enough statement. But, when you live in Los Angeles, it sparks a murmur, at times a roar, of discussions about a topic that can bring on a blood-pumping debate in the lives of Los Angelinos.

Traffic.

Roads are closed. Detours abound. And, tempers needlessly flare. Traffic flow stops flowing.

Or does it? Doesn’t the flow just change direction? Those who “go with the flow”, planning for and accepting what is, will be able to deal with the new traffic flow with reasonable ease and diminished aggravation.

It reminded me of a Colorado whitewater rafting trip a few years ago. During the mini-prep session prior to the romp down the rapids, our guide helped us don our life jackets, coached us as much as possible on what might confront us: “lean into the raft”, “don’t fight the wave by leaning away from it”, etc. But, when our raft banked a huge boulder in the midst of an angry rapid, I did just that, leaned away from the danger instead of rolling with the movement of the boat. I fell out, crashing to the bottom of the river against the rocks. In that split second, I remembered his last instruction, “If you fall out, relax your body and don’t fight the water. Relax and go with the flow.” Oddly, in the throes of adrenaline-racing action, my body did calm and I was easily lifted back to safety.

In many ways, life is like that river. Rivers are powerful and rich forces of nature that surge with purpose toward their ultimate destination, usually a larger body of water. The course of the river is called its path, and along the path are calm pools of water; swampy marshes; shallow, rocky streams; rough rapids and waterfalls that cascade the river and all that goes with it to another level, all still in search of that final destination.

The particles and inhabitants of the river understand its flow and current, travelling with the ebb and tide as obstacles enter the river path.

A purposeful life, in flow, has the same attributes. I’m not talking about conformity or status quo here, but rather the sense of peace and release that comes from surrendering to the organic flow of your life and the unknown circumstances you encounter each day. When I’ve felt most centered in my life and most sure in my choices was when things flowed easily from one event to the next, like liquid. It’s also when I’ve felt the most “on purpose.”

How do you live a life like a river? Here are a few thoughts to get you started:

• You may not be able to control your external environment at times, but you can control your reaction to your environment. Act like a duck in that water and let it roll off your back. Don’t fret over what you can’t control. Ask yourself, “is there something I can do about what is happening out there?” If not, let it go.
• Pay attention to your body’s response to your own actions and decisions. If the rapids start to roll in your belly, chances are it’s a decision or action you want to take another look at. That’s your intuition speaking to you about what’s right for you.
• Get back to what you love. When you focus on what you love to do and whom you love to be with, the flow rises up to meet you.
• “Love is like a river that drowns the tender reed.” ~ from The Rose
• Be in gratitude. When you project gratitude for what’s working in your life, more of the same flows back to you.
• Set clear intention for your desired destinations along your life path. When your sights are set toward those destinations, the flow surges forward forcefully.
• Embrace the detours. Rivers have numerous branches and streams. It’s the same with life. Sometimes the detours bring new and more interesting choices. It could lead to a watershed event in your life!
• So, when life throws you a curve or forces a detour, remember the river. Relax and go with the flow.

Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué. I am often surprised, though in reality I shouldn’t be, at the continuity that exists between the newsletters. More often than not the theme of one month predetermines the theme for the next; or at least aligns with it, or the card reading sets the tone for the content, or the quote suddenly is very pertinent, and in context.

Last month we talked about the concept of good luck and bad luck and how so much of our luck is open to our interpretation, or is in reality the opposite of what is at first perceived. Since writing about it I have been taking stock of its role in my life and have been astounded at its play. In conversations its role has been popping up and it is interesting to see how others interpret their outcomes and more importantly how their interpretation sets the theme for their experiences of life.

Basically what I am getting at here is that life and the natural order of things, dishes out its measure everyday; it is neither good nor bad—it just is. But how we interpret it determines our experience, hence it is either good luck or bad luck. We have a great day or we have a bad day, predominantly determined by our interpretation.

And this is the key; except for the details we are all having the same experience, but some of us are on top of it, while some of us are being buried in it. The sun is shining…or it is not; it is raining…or it is not, all is well and life is in order… or…it is not, and all of this is subject to our interpretation of these events. We are either lucky or unlucky by our own evaluation, the rain is just rain!

If you allow it, life conspires to put you in the right place at the right time.

How often has something similar to this happened in your life? You’re on your way, you get distracted and take a wrong turn and realise you are going to have to take the long way. As you’re bemoaning this, you hear on the radio about an event that is causing severe problems on your original route that would cause even more serious delays on your journey if you where there. All of a sudden you are pleased you’re on the wrong road and not involved in the troubles of the other route. Like we said last month “Who knows what’s bad luck and who knows what’s good luck.”

Being lucky or unlucky in the events of your life is primarily a matter of choice and belief, as hard as that is to believe at times. What you believe, what you say and what you vibrate to, is what you attract! It is all an attitude – expect the best and you get the best, expect the worst and true to form; you get the worst, and usually a little bit more besides.

Being caught in a major natural disaster can have serious repercussions and extract an horrendous physical, emotional and financial toll, yet for all of that how many declare their luck to have survived and then employ this same luck to move forward in their lives.

Unfortunately some also get caught in their loss and don’t seem to be able to lift themselves out of their misfortune and bad luck.

In my sales training days I used to love to talk about the lucky salesman. You know the one who got all the right leads and lucky breaks and was the one who made lots of easy sales Funny how s/he was also the one who prepared and planned the most and kept learning to be on top of the game and be successful. Yep, it’s funny how success, preparation and luck go hand in hand.

All of this seems to indicate that some of our “luck” is pretty much of our own making, while some of it seems to be provided by divine intervention.

And then there is the luck that just seems to drop into our life, like winning the lottery, or being in the right place art the right time, meeting our soul mate and so on. BUT, and this is important – for any of this to happen you have to be in the game! To win the lottery you need to buy at least one ticket, to be in the right place you need to go somewhere. For luck to show up you need to be engaged in life, you need to have your ticket and then “what will be will be,” but the good luck is engendered with a whole lot of expectation for the best and for the good in your life. It’s important to be in the game, not sitting on the sideline and while you’re playing may you have the very best of luck.

Inspirational quote for the month:

“The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.”

~ Kahlil Gibran ~

Card reading:

What will this month unfold, I wondered. What deck should I use? Will the message line up, or will it have its own agenda? Whatever the answer, experience has now demonstrated that it will be totally appropriate. Something we have learned doing these readings is that they usually have a timely message for us all. One of the strangest phenomena is when we are discussing the same reading or card like the one this month, and yet it carries its own personal twist, or perhaps it’s the way we interpret it. Whatever, if we follow the wisdom, our life generally works for the better.

One of the reasons for doing this, is to wake us all up to the guidance that is around us at all times, if we just look for it and ask for help. They are being used as part of an education into divine guidance. Another reason is to introduce you to the individual sets in the hope that you may acquire them and use them on a more regular and personal level.

Strangely, in some cultures, fairies are attributed with the amount of good luck you receive. I found this connection amusing in how the cards related to my little homily above.

The selected card is ‘Feeling Safe’ from Doreen Virtue’s ‘Healing with the Fairies’ oracle cards.

Feeling Safe

Card meaning: Any feelings of danger or vulnerability are healing, and they’re replaced with the certain knowledge that you are safe and protected right now.

Have you felt frightened or insecure lately? If so, this card is a signal that heaven is aware of your feelings and has come to your aid. You are surrounded by heavenly beings who love and protect you on an ongoing basis.

The fairies remind you that your thoughts of danger are triggering your feelings of vulnerability. In your mind you have given power to some outside entity. You believe that this “idol” that you have created has the power to hurt you. Yet the only power it has, is that which you have attributed to it. The fairies urge you to awaken from this mistaken concept. See that you have the power to create a happy and secure dream, and make the decision to feel safe.

Affirmation: I am safe. I am secure. I am completely protected at all times.

Oracle Card sets are available online at our sister site – www.mycrystalaura.com.au or may be purchased in most book shops and new age stores.

Previously we included a channeled message from Archangel Michael, which was met with good response. So we have included another, which we believe to be pertinent and provoking. If you find yourself drawn to it, the message may well be for you, encouraging you to live by a new level of wisdom.

Message from Archangel Michael

“WE OFFER YOU A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY”

Transmitted Through Ronna Herman

Beloved masters, once again we, the messengers and servants of our Father/Mother God, sound the Clarion Call for all the mighty forces that comprise the Legions of Light to come forth and unite. You, who have been scattered throughout the universe over these many past Ages, are now gathered here on the blessed planet Earth to assist in the birth of a New Age and a new reality.

You have created and built a sense of separation, giving your power to those who gained strength by dividing and conquering. THAT TIME IS PAST, dear ones! It is time to claim mastery over your lower nature, and then begin the process of reuniting with all the myriad parts of yourself as a harmonious, loving vehicle of Light. You must reestablish communion with the harmony of your mental body. You must return to the realization that stored within your brain structure is a fully functioning, perfect unit of wisdom and power that is called your Sacred Mind. You must calm and restore your emotional nature so that it is centered within your Solar Heart Center. You must stop looking outside yourself for validation of self-worth, love, success and truth. You have within you all that is necessary for spiritual awareness, happiness, abundance and, yes, ascension. You have within you your own Divine I AM PRESENCE, and your own individualized God-consciousness. It is not out there; it is within you.

At the urging of your ego-desire body, many of you have become enamored with the sensations of power and acquisition. Indeed, you came as cocreators to build, perfect and enjoy the material realm on the beautiful planet Earth. But somewhere along the way, you became so caught up in your accomplishments–possessing, owning and hoarding– that this became your measure of love and success: if you were powerful and influential enough, you would be worthy of love, or if you had the greatest storehouse of riches and possessions, you would be admired and respected.

Focusing all of your energies on these external manifestations creates only momentary satisfaction, as well as constant frustration and dissatisfaction. What happens if your riches and power are taken from you? What happens if you lose your possessions? What do you identify with then? It is as if you have lost all that represents who and what you are. This is why so many lose all desire for life, some even going to the extreme of taking their own life because, from their perception, all that they loved and treasured has been taken away, along with their sense of being worthy of love and respect.

You must learn to focus on your inner world or the Sanctuary of the Soul. The Soul, the physical vessel and particularly the mind have their own rhythmic cycles and agendas. The Soul’s desire is focused on becoming en-Lighten-ed. The mind is focused on attaining and retaining information. The physical body is focused on experiencing via the senses. Humanity is constantly experiencing cycles of growth, stagnation and decay, which makes way for a new cycle of growth and expansion. The master turns inward and strives for an enhanced quality of life, while the unawakened souls seek outwardly for stimulus and gratification via pleasurable, physical sensation and material possessions. Love as an external focus, exterior to yourself, will always bring a sense of vulnerability, always needing constant validation by someone or something. Love as an internal focus projected outward is a constant flow of self-assurance, of self-acceptance, always striving to incorporate and project more of this blissful feeling of unity and harmony with all creation.

Love is the Essence of all Creation. Love is contained within the Adamantine Particles of Light which pour forth from the heart center of the Supreme Creator in great streams of Cosmic Life Force substance in ITS never-ending desire to experience more of ITSELF. It is a blessed gift to be used by all Creation–at all levels, from the highest, most powerful, to the lowest, most diminished; however, there are conditions. It is your birthright to bring forth your own unique self-expression through loving cocreation in harmony with the Divine Blueprint, which is always in perfect accordance with the grand design of the Creator. How loving are your creations, dear ones? What kind of temple have you created for your Soul? Do you identify only with your body and then, through constant judgment and focus on your imperfections and comparison with others, fight an ongoing battle, ultimately assuring failure and validation of your distorted point of view (a love/hate relationship with yourself that keeps you frustrated and mired in self-inflicted misery)? What kind of world have you built with your constant thought forms? What kind of example have you been for your mate, your children and loved ones? Do you project a sense of pride-in-self, an awareness of how precious the gift of life is? Do you set an example by striving to perfect the myriad of facets within yourself?

There is a path open for each of you to follow, no matter at what station or circumstances you may find yourselves, a golden opportunity waiting to enable you to assume your power, tap into your creativity, bring to the fore those many latent abilities you have stored deep within your memory banks. And now, as never before, we are close by, observing, waiting to assist, encourage, create the miracles, smooth the way and assist you in moving onward and upward.

It is time for all of you, as brave Bearers of Light, to break and cross the boundaries of discrimination, disempowerment and limitation. We dare you, as women of Spirit, to become beacons and examples as masterful women among men. We implore you, as men of valor and integrity, to become compassionate men among women. By this we mean, erase and eliminate the lines and barriers between you, offering and accepting the gifts and attributes of each other as you integrate these sorely needed energies into your mental and emotional bodies. Your truth lies in your level of awareness, your assimilation of the cosmic gift of God-consciousness. You must integrate the knowledge you acquire, and then you must demonstrate that you have the ability to live by that new level of wisdom. You are judged by your own Higher Self and your Divine Presence as to your readiness to proceed along the spiral of initiation. We have told you that the path of ascension is a very solitary, secular process. Your initiations are designed specifically for you and you alone, for you are like no other. And yet, precious ones, each gain you make that lifts you another fraction, or a step along the narrow path of mastership, also lifts humanity as a whole. You are in the process of becoming the One in Essence, but at One with All.

One of the most wondrous gifts that will be available to you when you step onto the path of ascension is to tap into the bliss state of the higher dimensions. Once you have achieved that goal, you are forever seeking it again, for you have gained a glimpse of your true State of Being. Beloveds, as you integrate more Adamantine Particles of God Consciousness within your Sacred Heart, you will begin to feel a state of bliss more and more. You will feel the fullness and expansive power of love, and at times you will feel as if your heart is overflowing with this Divine Elixir of Life. You may tap into the realms of bliss while in meditation, especially if you meditate while in your crystal pyramid; however, your ultimate goal should be to attain that bliss state while functioning in your daily life. That is called being in the world, but not of it. Envision your guardian angel perched on your shoulder as you go about your daily tasks, and stay centered in your Sacred Heart so that you are constantly aware of the Spark of Divine Love/Light that is blazing within. When you can do that, you will be well on your way to creating your own private Heaven on Earth.

The Law of the Circle insures that the vibrational patterns you send forth will be returned to you along with an accumulated measure of similarly-qualified energy (or vibrations of the same frequency patterns). You are the center of an energy vortex that is made up of a circle/loop of vibrational patterns that you have projected out into the world of matter via your Solar Power Center. Your solar plexus is aptly named; for just as the Earth and humanity receive cosmic energy from the sun of your solar system, each of you also radiates Life Force energy from your own Solar Power Center. For a moment, envision yourself as the central focus of your world. You are the power source, and your thoughts, actions and intentions radiate forth from you in a loop of energy that connects with like energy. That energy magnifies and manifests in the world of cause and effect and then returns to you, reinforcing your picture of reality. Your body absorbs a portion of that energy, creating pain and suffering or joy and blessings, depending on the frequencies. The remainder flows out behind you, creating the other loop of your Infinity pattern, while the residual higher frequency energy gradually flows into your personal Wheel of Creation. You are constantly adding to your personal prison of negative, impacted energy, or your vehicle of Light and your ever-expanding Self-awareness. Have we not told you that you came to Earth as cocreators with the God Force?

Each of you has the ability to contribute something personal and unique to the Divine Blueprint now being designed for the future of humanity and the Earth. You have been given an extraordinary gift by the Creator, the unprecedented privilege of participating in the creation of your own destiny. Each of you has the potential of becoming a glorified mortal. You are becoming Spirit-infused mortals which assures your immortal status. You are multi-faceted and have consciousness on many more levels than you can comprehend at this time. You are an Immortal Soul with a mortal mind and body. You are in a process of Soul expansion and Light infusion.

It is time for each of you to step to the fore, take a stand and be heard. Begin where you are, at your highest level of understanding, seeing through eyes filtered by love, feeling with a heart filled with compassion and functioning with a mind that is not clouded by guilt, fear or judgment. That is the way you will find your truth, beloved ones. That is the way that your world and reality will be filled to overflowing with love, joy and abundance. That is the way of the master, the way of truth, the way back home.

Beloved beacons of Light, you cannot comprehend how powerful you are becoming. You, the new World Servers, are creating a mastermind, mass-consciousness which is gradually infiltrating and changing the old third- / fourth-dimensional collective-consciousness belief patterns, thereby assisting others to release their deeply ingrained fears, sense of shame, unworthiness, guilt and impoverishment. As you expand your awareness and tap into the higher dimensional frequencies and then make a commitment to live your truth as you know it, you begin a process of creating a mass-belief structure of higher, refined frequencies which will join with the Light-infused patterns of others, thereby radiating the vibrations of Love/Light out into the world of cause. And as you join with others of like mind, you create a synergy that expands exponentially into an ever-widening circle of refined group consciousness.

We honor you for your bravery. We know that your journey has been long and arduous; however, we tell you this, sweet friends: your time of pain and suffering is gradually becoming a thing of the past-a memory that will slowly fade away. The time of miracles is at hand. Each day, we eliminate more of the restrictive energies between us as we dissolve more of the negativity that swirls in the ethers. We give you our assurance that soon you will have your validation as to what the coming Age of greatness will be like. And you will know, without any doubt, the integral part you have played. I was with you when you first stepped onto planet Earth so many Ages ago, and I will remain to guide, inspire and sustain you until you are ready to return to your true estate in the glorious realms of our Father/Mother God. I AM forever your friend, guardian and companion in Spirit.

I AM Archangel Michael.
