 I re-joined a little string band a few years ago that plays old-timey mountain music this summer and have been enjoying the "music therapy" it provides. The harmony I feel while playing together with the others is very calming. I'm so thankful for receiving the blessings that playing music provides!!
I have recently had some wonderful things happen for me since my ex-partner left the scene. I think, in part, the reason is because of this habit of relaxing with the music we play, and enjoying the company of the others. For instance, I have substancial projects coming in which will support me, and best of all !! I've re-connected with a HS boyfriend, who's now a retired Chiropractor!! And he's coming to visit me this week!
Someone asked me recently how to deal with a lot of negativity. Whether it comes from yourself or from those around you the answer is still the same. Take your attention off of what IS, and place your attention on what you'd rather have.
"How can you possibly guide your life by the standards that come from outside of you, when there are not two in your world that ask the same thing of you? You have to, once and for all, decide that you're going to orient yourself from your Source perspective. When you make a decision that nothing is more important than that you feel good, your life will begin to become that which you knew it could be when you made the decision to come forth into this physical experience."
~ Abraham-Hicks
"Perception is not passive, as most people who are unconsciously following the Newtonian paradigm believe, but active; in other words: Perception is an Act of Creation."
~ Saleem Rana
Once your perception is set upon what you'd rather have, this magical work has set in motion the forces of the Universe which will attract the results you want. The next task for the magician is to Allow it to happen.
Many will stop right here and say, “What do you mean, ALLOW it to happen? Of course I will allow it!”
What you’re really saying, however, is… when I see it coming, I will allow it to come to me. But what about the time BEFORE you can see it coming, and AFTER your magical work is in motion?
Waiting for what you want to come to you is a very critical time, and can be very difficult. After a while the novice will tend to take score too soon, and upon observing that it is NOT here yet, will then become discouraged, doubtful, and perhaps even negative about the idea of getting what is wanted.
The time before manifestation is the most difficult for keeping one’s thoughts Pure about the magical results wanted.
Why is this important? The Law of Attraction tells us that like attracts like in the mental world; i.e. smiles beget smiles, etc. This Law goes much deeper with magical work. The vibration we magically offer the Universe becomes a powerful magnet attracting all manner of similar vibrations to us.
If you offer the idea to the Universe that you want a certain kind of employment opportunity, for instance, and it doesn’t come to you right away, what do you think happens to most people’s expectation level?
In magical work, especially, our expectations must remain positive. We must not allow ourselves or others to tell us we’ll never get what we want.
Initially, as your magic begins to work, you might even see a tearing down of the old, in order to make way for the new. However, if the practitioner becomes negative, and depressed because things aren’t happening as expected, (or nothing appears to be happening) then what kind of a vibration has been added to the magical mix? A little negative thought added to a little positive thought will, in effect, cancel each other out, and we are left standing exactly where we were before the magical work.
Remaining positive and expectant is the secret that will magically “allow” your goal to manifest. The trick here is maintaining a Pure thought long enough for your desire to manifest.
How easily can you be dissuaded? Are you positive that your magical goals will come to you?
How Pure are YOUR thoughts?
It’s worth thinking about…

 Libra urges us all to find Balance in our lives. Walking a Balanced Path includes the continual work toward the improvement of all 3 levels of one’s being; physical, mental and spiritual.
Physical improvement includes exercise, yes, but also rest, relaxation and sufficient sleep, as well as good nutrition (reducing and eliminating preservatives and other unnatural ingredients), clean water, pure air and sunshine.
Mental improvement includes mental stimulation through travel, exposure to new ideas, questioning, and personal experience. The contemplation of what is discovered is just as important, deciding what can be applied in your life to attract the experiences you want.
Spiritual improvement includes a growing closeness to our Celestial Parents, learning to abide by Their Great Natural laws, and developing a closer relationship to one’s higher self, thus allowing a greater connection to Source.
Cleansing the Physical vessel also allows a clearer connection to Source Energy, thus further developing the Spiritual self, which brings about more questions for Mental stimulation and contemplation… and ‘round and ‘round we go.
When all 3 levels of our being have equal attention toward improvement, this circular cycle becomes a spiral of movement ever upward toward greater and greater achievement.
However, as my teacher Father Eli Gatoga (1916-1983) was fond of saying, “Sayin’ ain’t doin’!” In other words, you can talk about it all you want without much improvement, however to really benefit, you have to put this wisdom into practice in order to find and maintain Balance. For instance, if you put too much time into spiritual meditation and not enough into the physical work, your household or employment begin to suffer. If you put too much time into housework and repairs, then there’s not enough time for reading, contemplation and other personal experience with life. If you put too much time into personal experience then meditation and contemplation suffer.
Do you allow time for the development of all 3 levels of your being?
How balanced is YOUR life?

Libra's Unbalanced Opinions |

 Learning about how the purity of our thoughts can keep us mentally balanced is the influence we ALL feel as Father Sun passes through this 3rd decan of Libra, the month of Balance.
Purity, in this decan, is defined by our efforts to keep our minds and hearts from being attached to the things of this mortal world. That which is mortal is always tension-producing and thus associated with tense emotions. Mental things are not attached to this world and therefore are not associated with the tense things but rather with the relaxed emotions of love and joy.
Purity refers to our ability to live and be relaxed at all times; that loving state wherein you haven't a single mortal opinion or thought about anybody. Such is the state of an Adept of the mental world.
The Purity of my own thoughts have been tested in this regard recently. Something happened that caused my initial knee-jerk reaction to be not-so-loving. However, rather than react with negativity, I decided to meditate on it, clear my mind of the tension I was feeling and reflect upon the situation more clearly – first. I’ve learned (the hard way) that it’s always a good idea to stop and think before proceeding anytime I feel tension.
In so doing I realized that there was two ways to think about what happened. One was from a place of fear, and tension, the other was from a relaxed place of love.
If I chose the place of fear and tension, then my choice of action would have alienated me and caused a tense situation – where there was no need for it. What a huge lesson this would have been, for me!!
However, I decided to give the others the benefit of the doubt. I decided to choose the place of love and relaxation, and my reactions came, instead, from a loving place – which increased the love I felt and confirmed for me that this was indeed the best choice.
If you see a situation where you must choose between love and fear, which do you choose? We are given a yard-stick by which to measure the purity of our thoughts. During this influence we find that Purity refers to our ability to live and be relaxed at all times; that loving state wherein you haven't a single mortal opinion or thought about anybody.
If purity of thought involves having NO mortal opinion or thought about anyone, then do you give others the benefit of the doubt when you have the choice?
How pure are YOUR thoughts and opinions? Are you being tested? Are you aware of Libra’s lesson of Balance?

Pure Love - Worth Discovering |

 When I worked as a receptionist I had an opportunity to observe people in the waiting room sitting in silence, and I have come to appreciate how difficult it is for many to sit alone in a room with nothing but their thoughts. It’s as if they aren’t familiar enough with themselves to know how to visit, even if they are skilled in verbal communication with others.
How few of us really know ourselves well enough to be comfortable in our own skin without any distraction!
One of the first things I do when I meditate is to fill myself up with joyous, happy, beautiful thoughts of gratitude. Being happy and reaching for those thoughts that bring more happiness to me, I feel, is what connects me with Source Energy.
I had a vision a feeling a few years ago after doing this that was overwhelming. I felt such a powerful feeling of love coming back to me that it awakened a memory I had long forgotten… the memory of the powerful love that the Creator has for me. It sounds so simple as I write these words, but the memory of this powerful love left me awe-struck. I remember thinking, as tears ran down my cheeks… “How could I have forgotten?”
The big lesson for me in this vision was that reaching for happy, joyous thoughts by counting my blessings actually raises my vibration and mentally lifts me up toward the high pure vibrations of the Great Ones who ARE Pure Love.
When I feel this pure, powerful energy coursing through me, then I can re-direct this great Source Energy to the object of my desire. How many times have we been told that “God is Love”? Love is, therefore, the energy that powers my magic. What adds fuel to this energy? Going on a rampage of appreciation elevates my spirit and allows this source energy to flow through me. Becoming more loving adds fuel to this fire! This powerful feeling of Love is what pulls me along my path back to my origin. This is what I seek and why I long to return home!
When you go about readying yourself for your magical practice, how do you go about summoning the power? Do you use an altar? Do you wear a robe?
If you prepare your surroundings, do you also prepare your mind? Do you think it would help if you cleansed your vessel of all negative thoughts? Do you mentally reach upward to meet the joyful, loving vibration of our Celestial Parents?
How do you go about purifying yourself to meet the Creator?

 “The Indian made an effort to know of spiritual things from his own observations of nature, because all truth can be found in Nature. There is a spiritual beauty in the realization that all the world has been deliberately made or created, and is in perfect balance ecologically, and that is not by chance. Lastly, it is based upon spiritual revelation of the Truth to the individual. When it happens for you, you then KNOW . . . and no one else can tell you otherwise.”
~ Father Eli (1916-1983)
If all truth can be found in nature for us to observe and thereby understand, then when was the last time YOU visited Mother Nature and really Touched the Earth?
Receiving inspiration or thoughts from our Celestial Parents or spirit teachers, is something that happens to us everyday, much more often than we think, and is not really something that we need much preparation for, other than our own relaxed and watchful awareness.
The Great Spirit Father resides in that spark of light and life at the center of every atom, and indeed at the center of all things, even at the center of our solar system. He is all around us. The Great Earth Mother resides in those things that give a covering to that light and life, those things that we can touch and hug, of which we can see the beauty and smell the fragrance. She is the outer covering that I call "myself", and the outer covering of all things that hold The Father's light and life. She is The Comforter, and is also all around us.
Just as in any sort of divination practice, we are humbly asking our Celestial Parents (who are in everything) to arrange circumstances or events (including Tarot cards, etc.) to give us a message perhaps an answer to a question that our minds return to again, and again.
We can most easily see Celestial Messages to us when we:
(1) First, go to Them (relax, travel inward), and ask humbly for Their Guidance (about life in general, or about whatever specifically we want to ask about).
(2) Then, be watchful and sensitive to whatever we might find that is unusual. It is the unusual that stands out and "catches our eye". There is purpose in this eye-catching appeal.
(3) Next, study this… see the symbolism in it. We all love symbolism. Everything is a symbol, actually, because this world is really not what it appears to be. We are here in a nursery school, and part of our curriculum is to see that the universal language of the angels is pictures / images that dance in our minds and tell us things. Especially when we "ask" for Their guidance, our watchful awareness should easily show us Their manifestation in the unusual that "catches our eye".
(4) Lastly, determine how that symbolism fits in with your present circumstances, your question and there's your answer. Walk away from the circle, call to the Creators, and ask for the guidance of our Celestial Parents. Then, look (watchfully aware) for the answer you seek in whatever you find unusual that catches your attention.
For example, in the midst of my divorce some years ago I was concerned about what would happen to my ability to teach The Craft of Wisdom now that my husband (of 29 years) and I were splitting up. My mind returned again and again to that concern because we had worked so well together, each learning best that which we were most attracted to, and together we had a very special understanding of Father Eli's teachings, since we both had studied with Eli and followed him from city to city helping him set up groups and teaching. Finally I asked for guidance to put my mind at rest.
During a 10-minute break at work, I sat by a stream in the courtyard listening to the water trickling past and soaking up the sunshine feeling warm and relaxing naturally. I noticed that the stream had a fork in its path, and I thought, our waters will no longer flow together once we pass that fork. Then I saw at the very place of the fork in the stream that a little eddy had formed and in that swirling circle of water was a tiny leaf, going `round and `round, undecided which path it would take in the fork of that stream.
And I thought "There am I, undecided, going `round and `round not knowing what to do. As I watched, each time the little leaf went around it would bang into the divider that separated the streams until finally it broke neatly into two halves and without further hesitation, they each took a different fork in the stream and went on their merry way and I thought we are like that, each taking our own understanding in a different direction each able to reach further and teach more students because we've separated and gone off in different directions and it was accompanied by a feeling that this was "meant to be" and that it was good. I had my answer!
The "actual" Vision Quest of the American Indians goes much deeper for a much longer time period, and there is fasting involved to weaken the hold of the body on the spirit it contains which allows our mental teachers to commune more easily with this earth-bound being.
However, all of the Craft teachings are meant to help us with that inner journey, to see with new eyes, to understand in a new way, because all is not as it appears to the ordinary unaware person.
Always be watchful for the unusual, especially when you have a question in your mind, for we are always on a Vision Quest in that our experience always has something to teach us.
What question are you wondering about right now? Have you asked Mother Earth for guidance?
When was the last time YOU Touched the Earth?
