Day 64: The other person is ME

Intention of the day: We are all the same creatures. Any trait in someone else is also in me, so I should think before I criticize or put down another person.

Morning writing: Don't be a hater, I think is a simpler way to think about this. All people have the same flaws, and anything that one person is capable of can be capable by all if we apply ourselves. Anyone can be a leader, just as easily as anyone can be a follower. Anyone can win the lotto, and anyone can do the unthinkable and commit murder. We are all capable of doing these things with the right tools and with the stars in alignment. While I think people should not be murderers or even followers... I must recognize that all humans have these flaws. Maybe some people are better at controlling impulses than others - this is something that is trained. Think about humans like any other creature. A dog is trained to have proper house manners around guests because the dog's first instinct is to jump and bark and get all crazy when a new person is around. A human is trained to control their instincts in that same way, through behavior in society. Any human that isn't good as controlling themselves wasn't trained well in that area, but it doesn't make them better or worse than anyone else. I'm not trying to belittle something horrible like murder, but to understand how it could possibly come to that in someone's mind. If you can put yourself in someone else's shoes, it must make it easier to forgive. It is hard to want to forgive something that seems evil, but we're all creatures on this planet together. To harbor negativity towards those with an imbalance is only going to bring negativity into my own life. Once again, it is best to forgive the offenders and focus on positivity.

Tarot Reading:

XVIII The Moon (illusion, fear, anxiety, insecurity, subconscious)
XVI The Tower (disaster, upheaval, sudden change, revelation)
VII The Chariot (control, willpower, victory, assertion, determination)

Today I asked for career advice, because something my bosses were 'joking' about yesterday made me a little insecure about how they feel towards my work. My spirit guides picked up on that right away and give me the Moon, recognizing my anxiety. Then I get The Tower, which scares me. Sudden change? Disaster? I'd been wanting to ask for a raise once I reach my one year anniversary, but that card makes me nervous. But then the Chariot symbolizes victory. So does that mean that I could ask for a raise, and that would be the sudden change and it would be victorious?? Let me pull one more card.

0 The Fool (beginnings, innocence, free spirit, spontaneity)

Sigh. I think my spirit guides like to joke around with me. I feel like they are saying I'm asking too many questions lol. Maybe I need to just have faith that things will work out, like my lesson the other day, and stop needing to know all the answers. Ahh! It's hard!! lol

Day 62: I release the world from my control

Intention of the day: Meditate on releasing my need to be in control. Trust that things will all be taken care of by the Universe. Morning writing: I had a nice long meditation in my morning routine today. It's Friday and my boss is out for a vacay so if I'm a little late it's not a big deal. Besides, things will all be taken care of by the Universe! I have had control issues for a while. Insecurity makes you want to try to control everything that you can, as a defense mechanism. You think that if you control how people act or where they go, then they will act and do whatever you want and you will not get hurt. This is unhealthy and simply not possible. I can't control anything except for myself, my actions, and my reactions. My relationship with my ex was toxic because I wanted to control him. I wanted him to be the perfect version of himself that was inside my head. But that person isn't real and the real guy didn't want to be that perfect self, for whatever...

Day 108: I am the One who is experiencing itself as all of creation

Intention of the day: Always remember that I am made of the same divine light as the rest of the Universe. We are all of one, and one is within us all. Morning writing: I made it! The book is complete. This is the final lesson. It's a bit of a reiteration of some previous lessons but still a good one to end on. Remember that I am made of the same energy as other people. As the trees and animals, and inanimate objects too. This planet is made of atoms just like I am. This Universe is composed of atoms. If you zoom out far enough... this Universe looks like an atom. We are all the same oneness, energy and light. It is always moving and changing as it works to stay in balance. That is the yin and yang of this energy, the magnetism of it. There will always be bad with good, that's part of the balance. Without motion there is no life. So now the book is over. I am not sure if this blog will continue as frequently, we'll just see how that goes. I will try to check in, but I m...

Day 10: I invite myself to fully experience everything I feel

Intention of the day: Let my body be my sanctuary where I can regain my strength and feel grounded. Let my emotions be real but not control my entire self and not affect my entire day. Morning writing: This one is difficult for me. I get emotional very easily. I treat this with my self-medication to help me keep my cool. But as evidenced by the existence of this blog, I'm still not entirely "together." I understand what the book is TRYING to say, but I think I already feel all my emotions pretty well. So I delved deeper into the secondary message of today's ritual: my body is my rock. My body is a constant, silent warrior where my crazy head sits on top. If I need to get out of a bad head space or calm my incessant inner monologue, I can use my new meditation techniques to regain my strength and composure. The bigger issue is acknowledging when my thoughts are becoming toxic, and being cognizant of the tools I have to change my tune.
