IT is important not to judge the outer appearances of things. There is a spark of Divinity in every situation, although sometimes it might not appear that way. One way to find this spark is through meditation and positive thought. This process can be done so many ways. Taking a walk outside, sitting quietly for several minutes – or longer, writing, listing things you are grateful for, are all ways to reconnect with the Divine. As I am sit here writing this, it suddenly hits me that I have been more controlled by outer appearances, and less guided by Spirit. This is a reminder to reconnect and let myself be led. It is a powerful wake up call…

only lasts as long as needed. So many things have happened lately to remind me that I want to re-create some parts of my life; to change some things. I can see how I have (at least partly) created certain situations to show me the power of the mind. I am also trying to remain more positive and less passive. I have also decided to reclaim my life; to go after what I want instead of just waiting for it to happen. This could be the beginning of an exciting new period. I will have to begin meditating more and worrying less. I have also started a new book, ‘How To Clear The Negative Ego’, by Dr. Joshua David Stone. This book (one of many) is a good reminder of how one’s thoughts create their reality.

I feel that every area of my life is being shaken up. I have no reference point to rely on for guidance. I feel like I have been placed inside a giant blender(without blades, of course). Every image I’ve previously embraced no longer serves who I’ve become. The Tower (tarot card #13) says that change sometimes happens when a part of one’s lifestyle no longer fits. This idea also relates to Hexagram #51 (‘Shock’). Sometimes change is forced upon you, because something in your life isn’t working any longer. Well, I’m naked, vulnerable and hurting. I think the changes will be fantastic..I just need to hang on until then.The I Ching also says an obstacle lasts only as long as it is needed, so I also look at this challenging period of one for growth.
