Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will work toward my own enlightenment and those who need the Light."

 

 

"All men are created in the form of the One and this means that within man, in his deepest core, is an essence of Divinity. 

 

Man has strayed far from the Divine Self whom he once knew.  It is our hope that man will reconnect with his Divine Self and come closer to who he was meant to be.

 

Consciousness is changing, but it is changing slowly.  But we will see in a short time, according to Universal time, an increase in the consciousness of the planet.

'

There will be events that will occur that will heighten the awareness of all.  We, in the realm above, will allow these events because man needs a kick start.

 

Man's overall awareness is still low, and by allowing certain events to occur, we bring man closer together into one species instead of separated by divisions that only man has created.

 

We counsel you to be steadfast and to form a unity with others.

 

Those of you who are Lightworkers, who are enlightened, shall be relied upon to help those who are lesser in consciousness than yourselves.  It is our hope that the wise shall lead the ignorant and through the wisdom of the Light, the ignorant shall gain the Light.

 

We are allowing events that will not change the course of earth history, but change the course of man's history.

 

We choose to inform you of these so that you can better prepare yourselves.  We want man to continue his journey upon the earth, but with a higher consciousness and more of a connection to his species.

 

Be steadfast, and seek wisdom in all things.

 

Evaluate your own lives and see where you can make adjustments and bring more light into the dark places of your hearts and minds and spirits.

 

Release old and outmoded emotions.  Let go of grudges, for a time will come when you will need to assist those that you have formed grudges against.

 

Do not worry for you well being for the Universe will always take care of you.

 

We bring these messages to you today, not to overly worry or concern you, but to alert you to begin or continue modifying your consciousness and awareness.

 

It is our role in the angelic realm to oversee the history and events of man.  It is our role to give guidance and support where we can and assist man in his planetary journey.

 

It is our hope that man will embrace his union with man.  And through this planetary union, man will survive to live long on the planet and prosper and raise his consciousness. 

 

Push yourselves to always form an understanding of others, for in understanding others, you better understand yourselves.

 

We love you greatly and support your continued growth and enlightenment.  It is not our purpose to bring bad news to you, but to bring enlightening information that you can use to better yourselves.

 

So go now be enlightened and work and live in the Light.  Pray for those living in ignorance that they may open their minds to let the light shine through.

 

This is all we have to say to you today.

 

Be well and know that you are always blessed.  There has never been a time when you have not been blessed or overseen by the Light and love of the Universe Source of All That Is.

 

We love you dearly, be well and prosper in the Light.  Now and always.  As it has always been."

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will create something some nothing.  I will manifest that which good and true and pure and for my highest and greatest good."

 

"In the beginning of time which has no beginning, middle, or end, there was nothing but the energy and power of the universe.  And this energy infused all that there was and created something from nothing.

 

It is our hope that you will recognize that from nothing, you cab create something of great value.  All things and beings have power and energy, and when you combine all forces of energy:  mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual energy into one entity, then you have a powerful resource for manifesting that which can come into physical being.

 

This is our message to you today:  Create something from nothing.  Recognize that you are a powerful spiritual being with powerful thoughts and you have the capacity to manifest all that is necessary for your personal and spiritual growth.

 

Look above and beyond where you stand currently and see the larger view of your life.  Focus on the highest and best good you can imagine and then manifest it.

 

The great Universal Source of All That Is supports your growth and encourages you to come closer and closer to your true spiritual self. 

 

Rely on all of resources available to you to create the life that you want.  Work always for the highest and greatest good of all, and share your blessings with others.

 

In this we hold steadfast for we want what is best for you.  We love you much and thus we bring this message to you today.

 

Slough off the dead scales of inactivity and outmoded thinking.  Rise above the petty thinking that surrounds you.  Recognize that you are a powerful individual and the Universe supports your growth and enlightenment.  Worry not about those who seek to tether you to the lower levels of consciousness, for they cannot do so unless you allow it.  Do not allow it.  Keep your head and eyes up, focus on that which is Good and True and Pure.

 

Be blessed always as you truly are.  Bring light into your life and share it with others.

 

We counsel you in this because we love and care about you.

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will be grateful for the knowledge and wisdom I have gained in my life journey."

 

 

A Tarot Story

Part End

 

 

One afternoon,  the youth came upon a place that he had seen before, long before when he first stepped out onto the road.  He saw an old, familiar gnarled tree at the side of clear, calm, slow-flowing river, and realized that he was thirsty.  He took his old tin cup and reached over the edge of the bank to fill it with cool water.

As he dipped his cup into the river, he saw a face reflected there that he had not seen before.  The hair gray and thinning.  The face was leathery and wrinkled, but the eyes were peaceful and wise and kind.  He smiled at the face, and the face smiled back.  

 

He brought the cup to his lips and noticed, for the first time, that his hands slightly shook.  He sat down with his back against the ancient tree and stretched out his legs.  He reached down and stroked the head of the faithful old dog who had traveled the long road with him.  He folded his hands in his lap, closed his eyes, and said, “This journey was a good journey.  I have come full circle.  I have learned much and I am happy and satisfied.”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Every day is journey and every day's journey creates a lifetime journey.  And every lifetime journey makes up our soul journey.  And like the youth in the story, we encounter many experiences that contribute to our growth and bring us knowledge and wisdom.

 

It is this wisdom and knowledge that helps us walk the long road and navigate through the tough terrain.  So although you may not be grateful for the difficulties in your life, be grateful for what you have learned because of them.

 

In Light and Love-Always,

Robin

"Today I will look beyond illusion and see the reality."

 

A Tarot Story
Part V
 

He applied his great insight to his own journey.  He remembered times of toil and times of rest; times of ease and times of struggle; times of ignorance and times of deep understanding.  He smiled, nodded his head, and said aloud, “From now on, I will strive for balance in all things.”  And he did strive for balance.  He found his journey more satisfying, more enriching.  He found himself more peaceful, more serene.

But, despite these new insights, there were times when the lower aspects of his character interfered with his journey. He experienced anger, jealousy, bitterness, and resentment.  Sometimes he acted with selfishness and conceit and arrogance.  Sometimes he acted hurtfully to others and caused them pain or grief.  This hurt him too, for the journey was an important one, and this darker side of himself caused him setbacks and brought him to a standstill.  He knew this was not what he wanted.  He knew he needed to rise above his own primitive aspects of self.

 

On a particularly clear night, as he was camped on a plain, he looked up into the dark blue sky.  The brilliance of the stars overwhelmed him.  He was in awe.  He began to count how many of them he saw, then he realized how great the universe was and how the number of stars was uncountable.  He felt small and insignificant under the heavens.  Just then a star arced through the sky-a shooting star.  He took it as a sign, a word, a message, a gift from the Universe.  He felt blessed and inspired. 

 

That night, under the beauty of the night sky, he fell asleep and dreamed of many things.  He dreamed of trees that turned into spirit forms; he dreamed of whispering rocks and songful streams; he dreamed of roads that turned into rivers. 

 

In the morning, as the sun rose over the horizon, he woke with his dreams still fresh in his conscious awareness.  He contemplated them.  He saw them anew, not in the light of the moon which cast an unreal veil over his thoughts, but in the bright light of day.  He was able to interpret them.  To see them as representations of his long and sometimes arduous journey.  He knew then that Universe had shown him the difference between appearance and reality.  This was great wisdom, and he vowed  that he would look upon the world with new eyes and do his best to separate what he thought was real from what he knew he was real. 

 

This was a great asset to him as he continued his travels.  He was better able to assess and evaluate with greater clarity.  He was able to make wiser, more informed choices and decisions.  He was able to judge what he had previously perceived to be truth from what was actual truth.

Dear Friends. there are many illusions out there; we encounter them everyday.  Many even live their lives in total illusion, rejecting or ignoring or be unaware that their lives are an illusion.

 

Let me counsel you to strive for the reality.  Perhaps it may not be as glamorous as the illusion, but it is truer and purer and, of course, realer.  It is only in reality that we can progress.  We must begin somewhere, sometime.

 

Ask the Universe to assist with shedding the illusions with which you have lived and bring reality into your consciousness.  By doing this, you illuminate your mind and your spirit, you are given the opportunity to release those things that have caused blockages in your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual life.

 

This may not be an easy task for you, but I encourage you not to turn your face away; embrace the enlightenment that Universe offers you, for what is waiting for you is much, much better than what you have now.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

Robin

"Today I will open my mind and heart and spirit to the Universe and receive Divine Wisdom."

 

 

A Tarot Story

Part IV

 

 

 

He knew that all would turn out the way that it should regardless of the outcome.  He felt confident that what was meant for him to encounter and overcome, he would encounter and overcome.  He knew that his journey would continue to bring him more wisdom and more enlightenment.

 

He also recognized that there might be times when he might have to make sacrifices for what he believed was his true cause:  to continue the journey and progress.  He was not afraid, for he understood that sacrifice for a worthy cause was both necessary and valuable.

The young man continued many days and months on his journey.  One day, as he walked serenely along on a ill-worn path through a forest, his dog trotting by his side, he was suddenly struck by the beauty of the wilderness.  A bright flash of insight burst into his mind:  All life is a cycle-a cycle of birth and growth and death and rebirth.

 

He though of the trees.  The seeds drop, nestle into the soil, and grow.  He thought of the stream and its journey from raindrop to sea.

This flash of insight caused him to consciously embrace the cycle of life and death.  Life could not exist without death, and death could not exist without life.  Both are necessary.  Both create balance.  And without balance, chaos would ensue.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

As we walk along the path of our personal journey, we can't help but gain wisdom, for wisdom is all around us.  We just need to open our hearts, and minds, and spirits to receive it.

 

All of Universe is available to us, we just need to ask Universe to show it to us, to remind us of it, for it has touched our lives many times, but like the fool, we were too early in the journey to see it.  But now, we have walked the walk and are ready to put the pieces of the puzzle together and see the larger picture...........And it is beautiful.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

"Today, I will slow down my pace and find the time for introspection."

 

 

A Tarot Story

Part III

 

 

It took a great deal of inner strength for him to do this.  Some days he had to tame the lion within, wrestle it to the ground and subdue it.  Other days, it wasn’t inner strength he needed, but physical strength, for the terrain was sometimes demanding or treacherous.

 

One late afternoon, he found himself stumbling.  He was tired, frustrated, and overwhelmed.  He needed to rest; he needed to regain his strength of body, mind, and spirit. He looked for a place to lay his weary body.

 

Not far from the path he was following, he saw an impression in the rocky hillside.  It was a small cave.  He found it to be warm and dry and uninhabited.  He thought, “This is a good place to rest.”  He rested there for some days, rejuvenating himself and evaluating his travels.

 

He thought over how far he had come and how far he still might go.  He thought about all that he had learned and all the skills he had gained.  He began to see a pattern in all of the events that had taken place.  He realized that his journey had been a series of causes and effects, actions and reactions.

After some days, renewed and enlightened, the youth took to the road once again, eager to resume his travels.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

There is a time for all things.  There is a time for action and there is also a time for rest.  There is a time for moving forward, and there is a time for staying still. 

 

As Americans, we are conditioned to go, go, go, rush, rush, rush.  Never stop.  It's always about more, more, more.

 

But how healthy is this?  It's not.  One must rejuvenate.  One must give himself time to process everything he has learned or done.  It is necessary for us, once in a while, to just withdraw and recoup our losses and refill our energy.  We're like batteries, if we get completely used up, then there is nothing left to give.

 

So, dear friends, take the time to withdraw, rest, process what has been happening in your life.  By doing this, you are doing yourself a great justice and kindness, and in the end, you will be far better off than if you just keep on going like the Energizer rabbit.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

"Today, I will master myself by honoring both the active and passive sides of my nature."

A Tarot Story:  Part II

 

The youth had many adventures in which he could conventional methods and ways of thinking, but other adventures dictated that he would have to use unconventional means and unconventional thinking to move forward.

 

One day, as he and his dog rested by a brook at the side of the road eating bread and cheese, a profound thought occurred to him.  He realized that each adventure required two things:  an idea and an action, and one without the other wouldn’t get him anywhere.  He realized that the more passive side of himself, his thinking, couldn’t accomplish anything unless the active side of himself carried it out.  As all of this dawned on him, he made the decision to take greater care to be more fully conscious of his two sides and to use them to his greatest advantage.

         

There were days, however, when despite all of the knowledge and wisdom he had gained so far, the young man was at war with himself.  Part of him wanted to go one way and another part of him wanted to go another way.  He needed to find a way to better master himself, to pull these very different forces together  cooperatively if he was to make any further progress. 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to honor ourselves, we must acknowledge the two very different sides of our own nature-the passive and the active.  The passive side is the feminine and the active side is the masculine.

 

The feminine side govern ideas and creativity and the need for beauty in our lives.  It is the side that says, "I have a great ideas!"  It is the side that says, "I would love to have that."  It is the side that says, "This looks/smells/tastes/sounds/feels/seems beautiful and I would like to create it."

 

The masculine side governs action and organization and structure.  It is the side that says, "If you have a good idea, I can manifest it," and then works toward manifesting.  It is the side that says, "If you would like to have that, I can get it for you," and then takes action to acquire it-whatever it is.  It is the side that says, "What a great idea!  I will make it for you."

 

So, in order to maintain balance within ourselves, we must bring these two opposite forces-the masculine and feminine-into accord with each other.  This is what is meant by honoring the self:  giving each side of ourselves a voice and an opportunity to work cooperatively together.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

Robin
