Have you ever had that experience? I remember once upon a time (some 30 years ago) when I had made a commitment to myself to move from California to another location where I could study the Druidic Natural Medicine course directly from Father Eli. I wanted very badly to do this as it was a unique opportunity to study this lengthy course directly from a master teacher. However, a month before I was scheduled to leave, my husband (back then)...

This is pretty much the “norm,” isn’t it? It’s what makes headlines in the newspapers and news shows, and it’s what people watch because… they think this is what life is all about. But is it really? If I draw into my life those things that I dwell on the most, then should I be only talking about and dwelling on the terrible things? What happens when I do that? Don’t I...

In use the word manifestation came to mean getting struck by the hand , which is a metaphorical way of referring to the fact that one has become aware of something… sometimes referred to as an “A-ha” moment.The thing I have been struck with this week is that no matter how good my intentions are, if I’m not careful with...

It is wise to be aware that all that IS, is not necessarily manifest. Because of our overdependence upon our senses, we often fall into the trap of assuming that what is not apparent to our senses, is not. This has led the right-thinking people to reject the entire existence of the mental world. The First Hermetic...

What do you look for? Do you look for the Light? Or do you look for the Darkness? Which do you put...

We grow by learning through trail and error to repeat those thoughts and actions that are rewarded or to make other choices when the results are not to our liking. This is the Great Spirit's Law of Cause and Effect in action. We change for the better when we choose those thoughts and actions that are rewarded. We improve our character...

Do not expect your real life to begin once you have achieved this or that. Know that today, this moment, is “real.” And in it contains all the magic and mysteries of everything you are. Stop rushing long enough to look inside. Treasure the moment. It is all here. Who are you today? What is important today? What task is put before you today? It is all part of the Path of your Perfection. Open your... Newletters - Scorpio Mon, 10 Nov 2008 07:04:19 +0100 http://awordtothewise.info/content/view/639/42/ Birds of a feather flock together. You’ve probably heard this familiar saying before, though it might be more accurate to say “those who are like each other flock together.” This is the Law of Attraction at work. This great natural Law tells us that which is like unto itself is drawn. In other words, the vibration of our thoughts attract others of like mind. Have you ever noticed that? When you’re feeling good you attract others who are similarly inclined, however when you’re feeling bad you also attract others in a grumpy or depressed... Newletters - Scorpio Sun, 09 Nov 2008 07:46:59 +0100 http://awordtothewise.info/content/view/638/42/ Einstein tells us that everything is energy, and the study of physics tells us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one thing into another. Quantum physics tells us that the vibrational state of a thing changes when it is observed. In other words, the energy we bring to an observation creates what we observe. So what is observed changes depending on what kind of an observer there is looking at it. If it’s true even at the sub-atomic level, that when you change the way you look at...

Obviously the transmutation of metals - if at all possible - was an act of God, and accordingly, anyone who aspired to become Pope should be able to master it, as should other high dignitaries, cardinals, bishops, etc, whereas it didn't look good in the hands of all and sundry. To save face the only alternative was to ascribe alchemy to the Devil, and that was eventually done, although people such as Roger Bacon,... Newletters - Scorpio Thu, 06 Nov 2008 07:12:31 +0100
