Life Lessons

10 THINGS TIME HAS TAUGHT ME

1. Most of our life is spent chasing false goals and worshipping false ideals. The day you realise that is the day you really start to live.

2. You really, truly cannot please all of the people all of the time. Please yourself first and your loved ones second, everyone else is busy pleasing themselves anyway, trust me.

3. Fighting the ageing process is like trying to catch the wind. Go with it, enjoy it. Your body is changing, but it always has been. Don’t waste time trying to reverse that, instead change your mindset to see the beauty in the new.

4. Nobody is perfect and nobody is truly happy with their lot. When that sinks in you are free of comparison and free of judgement. It’s truly liberating.

5. No one really sees what you do right, everyone sees what you do wrong. When that becomes clear to you, you will start doing things for the right reason and you will start having so much more fun.

6. You will regret the years you spent berating your looks, the sooner you can make peace with the vessel your soul lives in, the better. Your body is amazing and important but it does not define you.

7. Your health is obviously important but stress, fear and worry are far more damaging than any delicious food or drink you may deny yourself. Happiness and peace are the best medicine.

8. Who will remember you and for what, become important factors as you age. Your love and your wisdom will live on far longer than any material thing you can pass down. Tell your stories, they can travel farther than you can imagine.

9. We are not here for long but if you are living against the wind it can feel like a life-sentence. Life should not feel like a chore, it should feel like an adventure.

10. Always, always, drink the good champagne and use the things you keep for ‘best’. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Today is a gift that’s why we call it the present. Eat, Drink (or don’t) & Be Merry.

Masculinity

MARS now enters the intrepid Gemini, and the SUN will enter analytical Virgo in a few hours. Both masculine planets enter mental signs, where their activity is most potent and raw.

As they come to square each other, they also hit off Chiron in Aries, triggering issues around wounded masculinity and how men, particularly, currently feel about themselves.

The transit stresses circumstances about what it means to be a man, and conflicts generate internal questions about whether individuals lack a sense of masculinity at some level.

Coping with this dilemma may see men acting out by outright rejecting masculinity as bogus or outdated or by overcompensating, trying to demonstrate to others (and themselves) that they are ‘real’ men.

Either extreme is troubling, and we best stay mindful that the next few days could evoke crises which may require our tender understanding and support…

Between

After a huge shift, powerful change, and a deep purge…we need time to integrate these energetic changes.

It will be Out with the old and receiving a lot of the new into the empty spaces.

A lot is happening within our systems and the void like energy we feel – not being able to know where we are, what we’re doing, what we should be doing, not being able to connect with our soul or anyone else , we feel all alone, confused, not knowing what the next step should be and we don’t know if we did things right or wrong.

Our ego is here with us and it is trying to convince us that we did something wrong because if we did it the right way around we should be feeling bliss, happiness and joy and because we are not feeling it, we surely did something wrong. No!

You didn’t do anything wrong, this is just the process of ascension and the void like feeling means your system needs a break because it went through a powerful deep and important change and before you can move further on this new level you’re in, you need to rest and relax and integrate the shifts.

And a lot of you are in this void like feeling right now because we have cleared a lot in July/at the beginning of August and we are preparing to upgrade to the next level right now.

So just relax and take it easy and try to not freak out in this way like feeling.

This is a time for you to learn to accept the stillness, nothingness of your soul.

The lack of thoughts, the lack of feeling any connection is basically this new level you are in. An upgrade. But it is so unpleasant for the ego and your human body because you are used to having thoughts with you all the time and you’re not always feeling well in silence.

Line Em Up – James Taylor

Of course I’m a huge fan , my Dad and 2nd son are named James , which translates to supple-mentor.

A deceased soul mate was also named James and died of extreme complications from years of IV drug use .

The detached upbringing and loss of both parents ; created this grieving soul who captured my heart in a bond that I could not escape . Addiction to this addict did not resonate and I married for several weeks to break the tie that bound me . I had experimented to better understand and it did not please me and it was easy to abstain except for “pot”.

In marriage it was the same , an occasional Valium , or smoke.

Sleep was threatened from the get go , with intense snoring and I don’t do well with lack of sleep . My nature then was high strung and active but I became weak and moody but did not understand why .

The reasons have lined themselves up , as it were . Our family was destroyed for reasons of addiction , control and ego .

The eyes have become more beady . And darker . As have some of our leaders , exposing a consciousness lack that is staggering .

After hearing Romney state that morality had nothing to do with politics , yesterday I heard the GOP rep talk about morality in the GOP.

That’s a good thing because I know Republicans that are moral and the greedy eyes are lining up . I don’t need to name names but look at the eyes ! Note who peers over their glasses in a passive aggressive profession / authority , manner ?

We each are part of a whole and as the harvest comes in we do harvest the truths that are clearing the way to new earth and less greedy little eyes !

Preference for Alone Time : Bad Ass

I have always spent time alone since childhood and came to appreciate my alone time ; on my own time upon beginning waking 03/04.

Of course I have met lots of lonely folks and defined that I could not and would not be a space filler

Incoming Energies Are Major

Incoming Plasma Energies. This means expect major light body activations this week.

This also means many are feeling ascension symptoms. These changes are happening within the physical body, so they are being felt in all different types of ways on a physical level.

There is a lot of cold and flu like symptoms going around, headaches, nausea or stomach issues, dizziness, disorientation, feeling like your going crazy, or in a different reality. As your chakras are trying to clear and open the blocks are coming up.

Some of our negative beliefs and patterns are actually deep ancestral and karmic baggage that we have been carrying with us. Our karmic and childhood wounds tend to be what’s triggering our relationships too. Bad karma can keep us in awful patterns. It’s about clearing the energies of the past fully.

We are clearing thousands of years of karma from our ancestors. These imprints have been stored in our DNA, and need cleared and healed energetically.

August 18th we can expect two CMEs merged into one (cannibal CME) to arrive.

Expect strong geomagnetic storms this week. We are living in the middle of some exciting times. We have so much energy coming at us. These energies will super amplify your frequency too.

That’s why it’s so important to be working on your energy and doing things to raise your frequency.

We shift into Virgo Season Aug 21st and Aug 27th we also have a Virgo New Moon.

Virgo is the sign of the healer. Virgo is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is the messenger planet of communication.

We have a ton of heightened mental energies.

This is helping us to better connect with the third eye and telepathically. You may be picking up messages from people, or just reading there energies more.

You may be guided to travel this Virgo Season. Expect to be seeing spiritual signs everywhere…
