mirror, mirror, on the wall…. From an elderly couple…”We come from a time that you fix what is broken instead of just throwing it out” I haven’t posted anything in a while, again. Seems like I am stuck in cycles of life throwing difficult lessons at me, just shoving that mirror in front of me as if trying to prove I am a vampire (or not). Many of these [...]
Something I read today: Ever wonder if maybe…..just maybe, you were chosen to deal with this because a greater power knows that inside….. you can handle this? I am going to let that sink in…
I was asked about my comment at the end of my last post: “(Is there a symbolism in the chosen owl image? Mouse is one of MY totems….so, you betcha) ” It was regarding MY mouse totem, no one else’s… First, let’s look at an interpretation of Mouse medicine: Attention to details and examining closely, fastidious, may be getting too locked into details or may need to see them [...]
Where I live, I am blessed with encountering many species of animals. From Coyotes to Feral Cats, Snakes to Deer…even in winter, when I spend much less time outdoors, usually someone shows up at least weekly. The past several months, three friends have been visiting me almost exclusively, at interesting times. Owl: Owl is the Mystery of silent wisdom, heightened vision and hearing and the ability to pinpoint subtleties [...]
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. – Carl Jung [note: This post was started a couple of months ago, I have been slowly adding to it as I have learned, realized and experienced. So it is a bit jumbled. But it is what it is, a continual work in progress... ] One of the most important things I [...]
Look forward, not back. The past can’t be undone, and the present will always look ugly when our glasses are comprised of, and focused on, the past. When the past tries to make the future, it looks even that much more ugly. Let anger go. Forgive. Breathe. “A warrior knows that he is waiting and knows also what he is waiting for, and while he waits he feasts his [...]
In the universe, there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which shamans call intent, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link.” – Carlos Castaneda I have ignored my blog lately. Seems the Universe is not yet done throwing me crap…I mean, learning opportunities. It would help, I reckon, if I would get the intended lesson and the appropriate changes the [...]
Patience…not my strong suite, definitely. I have been trained as an engineer…if there is a problem, fix it now….no, not tomorrow, NOW! I dig into the details, the possibilities, the causes of these effects…how can this issue be resolved, as soon as possible? I must fix NOW! Our Ego is a self-defense mechanism, needed to protect “us” from harm, it has served us well in many cases throughout our [...]
The search for Reality is the most dangerous of all undertakings, for it destroys the world in which you live…When I see I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I see I am everything, that is love. My life is a movement between these two. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj We constantly go in and out of balance as we strive for it. I have been on an internal journey [...]
Vengeance. Every spiritual path I have studied warns against it. To leave it up to God, Allah, the Universe, etc. is the wise way to deal with wrongs done to you. Whether it is doing what everyone else seems to do at work (not working, wasting resources, 3 hour “lunch” breaks) because if they can do it, why can’t you? To dealing with serious wrongs, like theft, adultery, murder, [...]
