Day 72: As I speak of others I speak of myself

Intention of the day: If you talk shit about others it shows off your own insecurity.

Morning writing: Honestly I don't really think I have a big problem with talking about other people negatively behind their back, and that sort of thing. Sometimes at work I'll joke around and be a hater about something on TV... hopefully they realize I'm joking. Maybe I'll tone down on that, if I need an action to work on for this lesson. But I know that it's not nice to say bad things about other people. I was always of the 'do unto others as you would have done unto you' and I certainly wouldn't want anyone to speak of me like that. I like to treat people fairly, as long as they are treating me fairly. And lately, with the lessons in this book, I am getting better at letting it slide even when people are rude or unfair. There is no point in building up negative energy towards people, especially strangers. And when it comes to friends, negative energy will only be returned right back at me, so I try to just be a genuine person.

Tarot Reading:

Stop: Knight of Cups (romance, charm, 'knight in shining armor', imagination)

Start: IX of Wands (courage, persistence, test of faith, resilience)

Continue: II of Pentacles (balance, adaptability, time management, prioritization)

Off! With a critical hit to start the reading, I see the Knight of Cups in the STOP position. Stop focusing on romance and finding that knight in shining armor. It's not important - and maybe even detrimental - to the progress that I've been making. The Nine of Wands represents the courage to proceed towards feeling truly independent and happy in my own skin. I'm closing in on my goals and need the strength to reach the finish line. Finally, I pulled the Two of Pentacles to symbolize that I must continue to maintain adaptability, stay organized with my bullet journal and work towards my goals by prioritizing my time with things that will make me happy. I must make sure to stick to a budget going forward as I plan a trip to LA in June!

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 65: I am ONE with the DIVINE

Intention of the day: I am one with the Divine, Source Energy and the Universe... it is all the same oneness that is me. Morning writing: This lesson got me deep. The words on the page were simple enough, that we are all made of the same Divine, the same Source Energy, and we should recognize that we are all the Divine. We are all Source Energy. They have this same idea in the Old Testament, so I assume that is where the author is getting this from. But when I meditated on it, the concept not only makes perfect sense, it made me feel very zen. In my meditation I have been trying to see outside my body, to zoom out and see a bigger picture. In the past I was able to visualize the train that I was on, traveling at fast speed across the island. This morning I concentrated on the Source Energy of the Universe. I am a part of this Universe, and it is a part of me. I meditated on how I am merely a red blood cell moving through the streets, which are just veins running along the skin of thi...

Day 92: I have patience for those who are asleep and confused

Intention of the day: Practice patience and forgiveness for those who have become blind to their inner light. Help them to see it. Morning writing: In my meditation, I have been trying to emanate my inner light to others. I don't know if it works. I think I need to build up my strength and maybe my inner light will have more reach. Maybe it's my aura? I am trying to focus on spreading the light and good karma so that others can soak it in. Hopefully it helps. In addition, today's lesson is a way to think about forgiveness. People who have wronged me or mankind have become blinded or confused and cannot sense their connection to the universe. They do not sense the light and happiness that I know is within me, so they do not have my strength; they lash out. I must try to reach these people, and at the very least forgive them for any wrongdoings. I had a very lucid dream this morning, which is rare for me. I woke up early, and sometimes when I do that I like to meditate wh...
