Spirit tells me that, in Rumi’s Field, all differences
Fade away.
How did differences develop?
Does it really matter how, why, where, or when
We became separated?
It wouldn’t change the reality of our separation, but, if we
Focus on how to reconnect, then, there is hope for us all.
Spirit tells me that every relationship is a learning experience
In which each participant is both teaching and learning from
The relationship itself and from every participant, inclding
Oneself.
Deep or shallow? How far do we dare to go? To see deeply
Is to go deeply into the possible motives and intentions of
The other, or others, and to consider whether they are
Different from or similar to our own.
How far will each relationship take us if we allow, or invite it?
How will we change and how will the other, or others change?
And is it worth the effort, or risk?
All relationships either stimulate or drain our energy,
As well as affecting other resources, precious or otherwise.
Teacher, has our relationship been a learning experience for you?
Yes, it has taught me patience.
Spirit tells me that we not only live in the universe; the Universe
Also lives in us. The same life energies that flow within form also
Flow within essence, which is spirit, and this shared, moving energy
Harmonizes form and essence, more or less.
Why more or less?
There cannot be flow if there is stagnation.
Must my mind or body always be more or less agitated
For life energy to flow within me?
There are other terms to describe the process.
Such as?
Discontent, inspired, weary, fearful, compassionate –
The list goes on.
Spirit tells me that we each seem to need to be, or
To pretend to be, what we need to be.
And, we each seem to need to become something other than
What we are, now, or something that we do not yet believe
We are, but desire to become.
If we would allow ourselves to relax and let go of our tight hold on
Needing to be what we are not, and allow ourselves to become
What it is we believe we are destined to become, then we might
Discover; then we would discover that we are now what we seem
To be and that it feels comfortable just being what we are, if
We like what we seem to be.
It sounds confusing to me.
Spirit tells me that living a spiritual life in the so-called real world
Is the same as living a not-so-spiritual life except for awareness of
Choosing how I live the way I do, and how my way of living
Affects my personal health and happiness, and also that of
Everyone else.
That’s pretty heavy stuff.
What is pretty heavy stuff?
Laying a guilt trip on me by suggesting …
I’m not suggesting. Everything we do affects everyone and
Everything else.
If I am more responsible for others than they are for me,
Just because I’m aware of my responsibility and they may
Not be, then how appealing can awareness be?
Awareness isn’t designed to be appealing.
Spirit tells me that none of my many (too many to count)
Closed doors of relationships that once seemed destined
To last forever, ever existed to close.
How then can I tell illusion from reality?
They are one and the same.
But, I have cried rivers of tears.
Where are they now?
I don’t know.
They’ve been recycled for others to shed.
What purpose did they serve me?
You needed to wallow in self-pity to ease the pain of
Losing another illusion.
Spirit tells me that Tarot cards were designed to preserve
Deep understanding of human nature. Many ancient traditions
And mystery schools have been destroyed in the
Name of progress, and replaced with teachings that deny
An essential oneness beneath a surface of diversity.
There is no magic involved or required in the study of Tarot images.
Instead, what is required is deep respect for and serious intent
To study the specific images that the reader’s or client’s personal
Energy has attracted, at a particular time.
The image on the chosen card brings a hidden message.
Why hidden?
To protect its high value. Anything easily available is vulnerable
To being seen as of little worth.
At first glance, Tarot images seem to describe general aspects of
The human psyche, or an easily understood situation. But, how
The images are interpreted or ‘seen’ makes all the difference.
Each reader or client’s vibrational energy interacts with the images
To co-create a message. Something is understood concerning
The problem within the mind of the seeker.
In this respect, Tarot can be seen to be much like meditation, and
Only another path to the same Universal source of wisdom.
A renewed interest in Tarot?
Yes. Why not?
Spirit tells me that we each possess a unique blend of
Life-force energies that express themselves as
Potentialities. However, nothing we experience is unique,
Except that it is necessarily a personal experience.
The colours of our inner energy palette can be blended
With each other in seemingly endless ways. Our unique
Blend of life-force energies makes the difference in how
We each create and experience life.
Does all this activity go on behind the scenes? or between
The lines of the story of my life?
Are you asking me if you are aware of what is happening?
Yes.
Then the answer is obviously no.
Is it possible to be aware?
Of what?
Of my life-force energies.
Yes.
Spirit tells me that one purpose of a memoir is to move forward
By looking back, as one might do while climbing a high hill or
Low mountain that, for reasons of our own, must be climbed.
Life itself can seem to be an uphill battle, but we might get
Some satisfaction from looking back and seeing how far
We have come. And, then, with a sense of accomplishment,
Turn again our focus ahead, anticipating the pleasure of
Celebrating a mission accomplished.
Does it ever happen;?
What?
Reaching the finish line.
For whom?
Me.
No.
Spirit tells me that we each follow our own Path of Enlightenment
And that The Path is the only game in town.
Travel along the path requires thoughts and emotions working
Together in more or less harmony, to create our unique personality.
The path of enlightenment does not have a geographical location
As a goal. Instead, it is a personal, spiritual journey or process
To refine the quality of our thoughts and emotions, and the
Actions that express them.
