Thanksgiving and Other Things – Final Words

I would like to suggest that those of you who are spiritual, want to raise your vibration, and who do not live in the USA either adopt the Thanksgiving celebration or choose another day so that you also can take the opportunity to let go of your issues to do with anyone who has upset you and to thank the Universe for your blessings – because we all have them.

I will never forget my first husband’s words when I had walked 5 miles to work and 5 miles back to earn $7.50AUD in 1988. I was so depressed at only earning that amount in the coffee shop I did readings in. On my arrival home and moaning about my fate, he said, “Well it is a loaf of bread, a bag of potatoes, a carton of milk, and an uncooked chicken that you did not have the money for, but you do now.” I felt so terrible because that $7.50 did, at that time, provide those items. I was indeed blessed, but could not see it. For every experience I have gone through which could be termed negative, there has been a positive outcome either in learning lessons, experiences, or letting something go. Whenever I find myself bemoaning my lot these days I remember those words.

My mother use to say when I bemoaned my fate, “Well at least you are not disabled or deaf or blind.” Indeed, I was not, and it would always make me bless my life. Forgiveness and thankfulness are two of the most important things to deal with on a spiritual aspirant’s path. There is nothing more needed than to practice them. You cannot move forward until you begin their practice and then to continue practicing them. It took me until two years ago to learn that lesson and to finally let go of everything I had in my life that was holding me back. Look upon your enemies as being your very blessed friends, because they are once you return home to Spirit. It is just sad that we will not see that until we do go home!

Change – Continued

Our move, though, brought into my consciousness the question of why we fear change. I have talked before in these blogs about change for myself and how I personally fought it. Some star signs find it easier than others. I have lost count of the number of times those who have come to see me for a reading with a Cancer Mid-heaven have moved house, or have had many moves in this incarnation. It seems the more they want stability – like I did – the more the Universe either takes it away or will not allow it to manifest.

My first husband had Cancer rising in his birth chart and found it extremely hard to move house despite him telling me he wanted to. It actually was the cause of our marriage finally breaking apart. Of course, as an astrologer I do know how important having a home is to a Cancer person. They literally carry their home on their backs just like the crab – which is their birth sign creature (astrologically speaking). With Cancer also being in my Mid-heaven, it is literally where my ego consciousness is. To me, not only having a home is important, but also what that house looks like. I may have shopped in opportunity shops but nobody can say my houses looked bad! Everyone would comment on my homes over the years: the energy, the decor, the furnishings etc. It was always a positive comment each time. Of course, I had created this beautiful place and the Universe insisted on moving me on. The longest I stayed in a home at one time was four and a half years! The shortest time was 3 weeks, just after my first marriage. What the Universe was trying to show me was that I was not to settle down in blissful real estate, that my life was not going to be settled in any way. I needed to travel, and travel I would. And if I dared to settle down in a home, I could forget it!

Observations – Continued

I believe it goes back into the history of the gypsy with the scarf and the large hoop earrings and to the days of fortune tellers foretelling doom and gloom. I also believe it is because the word “psychic” is so feared, and I think we have to change this vision. Even in the fairy tales the seer (as in “Sleeping Beauty”) foretells that the princess will prick her finger with a needle and sleep for 100 years – or words to that effect. In “Snow White” the witch feeds Snow White a poisoned apple. For some reason all those who “see” or have second sight are portrayed as evil in some way. Oh yes, we have TV shows these days such as “Medium” and “Ghost Whisperer,” but even with Ghost Whisperer the intro scene leaves nothing positive as heads come out of the ground etc.

Nearly everything on a metaphysical level is shown in a fear inducing or negative light. There is nothing showing the healing taking place with those who have these gifts or the assistance people get on a positive level from this kind of advice. Until we can de-mystify metaphysical subjects I do believe we will never have people believing in those of us who are genuine and who can prove it. Not only that; but 97% of the population does not realize that their aches and pains come from this or past-life issues. Maitreya has told me that one day people will visit an astrologer like they do their doctor, but before that can happen things have to change. I intend to work hard to bring that change into being. I am already doing it in a way, and will be doing more in the future.

How to Be Truly Spiritual

One cannot be truly spiritual if one has one grain of anger, fear, doubt, envy, or other negative emotions. Yes, one can say “I am spiritual” but, if you have any negative thinking toward another soul or a situation, then you cannot be spiritual in the truest sense of the word. How many of you react to situations that you know you should not react to? How can the world be healed if individual souls cannot heal themselves? It is within oneself that one needs to start changing. How many of you have problems with your brother, sister, mother, father, friend, work associate? Yes, I am speaking to you who answered that statement. How can the world be changed until peace is found within yourself? How often do you find yourself justifying yourself? How often do you find yourself becoming angry with someone? What a waste of energy! Just think what you could do with that wasted energy! You could manifest something you desire, educate yourself – there are so many ways to use the energy in a positive way. The more you do this, the more you will be able to create and manifest. It just takes you to stop the flow of negative energy.
