We can
become carried away with problems, issues and the overall chaos surrounding
rough times that we become dissuaded about how and when we’ll receive the
guidance we seek for our current issues. The truth of the matter is, you
already received or will receive the guidance, though it may not be in the
manner by which you expected. And so, this month’s entry is dedicated to
expectations of the spirit kind.
Why is it
that when we hear, “spirit will guide you” or “spirit will communicate with
you” do we assume that spirit literally is going to appear before us like the
ghost of Christmas past to take us on a journey that is otherworldly? Do not
get me wrong, this can and does occur, but if it does not for you, it does not
mean you are any less connected with divinity and the ability to hear, feel,
see or know what your next step should be deep down within yourself. Even when
we are having an otherworldly experience, be it through astral travel, a dream,
a vision, the knock on the door when there’s no one there, we may not fully
understand why we are having the experience, until sometime later on, be it the
near or distant future. You do not have to literally converse with the great
aunt from beyond the grave or woken up (some time’s abruptly) in the middle of
the night/wee hours of the morning to receive her message. Why? Because her
message (I am using the great aunt from beyond the grave as an example) may
come through the book which fell open to a certain passage in your favorite
book or through a glass cup which shattered without you knowing exactly how.
And no, these experiences are not “poltergeist phenomena” which I am
describing. I am simply describing the types of signs we receive but often
ignore. When you ignore the signs, you lose touch and end up hitting the off button
for your intuition. Then we ponder, why have not I received any messages or
signs? Why have not the angels communicated with me? Why has spirit abandoned
me?
You have not been
abandoned and you do not need to be a magister to come to terms with the fact
that you are being guided. You must surrender yourself to the greater power.
This sounds totally cliché, but what this means is that you need to stop trying
to control how it is you become receptive to the messages which spirit relates.
The star card offers the advice of maintaining our faith and keeping our hopes,
as well as dreams, alive. This is not, by any means, a simple task, especially
when we are facing trials, pain and “suffering” but, it is doable. You may
think spirit (or the angels; or both) may have abandoned you and are not
listening nor wanting to help you. This mentality is such bullshit and it
prevents you from manifesting your true life’s purpose or simply, a desire to
do something you have been thinking about doing for a long time but have not
been able to do because the world around you keeps “bombarding” you with more
trials. The truth of the matter is you are letting the world around you bombard
you with matters that inhibit your ability to manifest your desire.
Case
in point, I recently had a “dream” where I accompanied a person who was
experiencing many trials in their lives. In this dream, I had the opportunity
to walk beside the person and take in their daily routine, which was very
chaotic and full of hassles. Walking beside this person I felt tired and at
times, confused. I did not know if this person was arriving or going and the
person walked about life in circles. This felt super chaotic to me and I felt
like I was swept up and trapped within a whirlwind of some sort. I tried to
speak to this person, but they could not hear me. It was at that moment, that I
pretty much yelled as loud as I could the following: “Angels, show me that you
are here and are willing to help and protect me.” Within seconds, the sounds all
around me were muted and ahead I saw an oversized arched wooden doorway. On the
surface of this door, two birds appeared. They flew in out of who knows where
and prostrated themselves upon the door, facing each other. Then, the two
birds, in a synchronistical fashion, opened their wings. At this point each
bird morphed into one large wing together forming the symbol of two large angel
wings! When I saw this I felt a loving warm energy gather within me and I
yelled: “thank you angels for listening and showing me that you are here.” I
remained standing before this doorway, taking in the fantastic coloration of
the wings before everything began to fade away.
I woke up
with my head feeling a bit fuzzy as the name of an angel came to me. This was
the angel who showed me its’ wings. I carried on with my morning tasks but
could not shake the image of the wings nor the feeling I had when the wings
appeared. I was an amazing experience, but I wondered, why in the heck I had
this experience. Later on that day, I received a private message from a viewer
who is an absolute darling and whom I have chatted with once before. She shared
something with me and soon I knew why I saw what I did. I was able to relay to
her a personal message of hope and faith. I experienced a sense of knowing that
this dream I had was in fact about her and that she desperately needed to hear
a few things, one of which was the very details of the dream itself. The angel
whom appeared was the angel whom would assist her in manifesting a certain
desire. She was (is) in fact going through some difficult times, but overall, I
have complete faith that she can turn this situation around!
However, it is
not enough for someone to have faith and hope in you because if you cannot see
the hope which is prostrated right before your eyes, then no one can put an end
to your current trial(s). Remember full well that having hope is one thing and
that to implement changes/guidance with full hope, yielding favorable outcomes
for your desires, is quite another. For my last example, one of my viewers
recently shared her personal story of triumph because she followed her
intuition to run with a divinely inspired idea from her boss at work which
yielded her phenomenal results. To paraphrase the comment she shared with us on
YouTube this week, she said “…she trusted her intuition that the idea was
divinely inspired, though it came from her boss!” So you see- you do not need
to see spirit or the angels with your physical eyes in order to feel when an
idea/project/endeavor is divinely inspired. And, so, I end this month’s entry
with a personal call to maintaining one’s hope. Look to the twinkling star
above and harness its’ power to provide light even in the darkest of times.
PS: I
have composed this on Saturday, July 26th, 2014- the new moon in
cancer…a good night for star gazing indeed!
