Thoughts and Feelings

By -




Today's card is the Five of Swords. Entitled "Defeat", the card is attributed to Venus in Aquarius.

This is undoubtedly one of the ugliest cards in the Tarot. The energy is simply yuck! The nature of the defeat is self-defeat. It's the mind getting in its own way.

Or to be more accurate, it's a messy conglomeration of emotions and disordered thought. And it's very easy to fall into this. Very,very easy.

Our thoughts, fueled by emotional energy, create our reality. This was always the limitation of some of the positive thinking books from the earlier part of the 20th century. They were right, energy does follow thought, and it needs emotional energy to feed it.

What we feed it makes the difference. I have to be into what I want, really into it to make it happen. Just vaguely daydreaming doesn't cut it, which is why our daydreams usually don't manifest anything except wasted time.

To manifest something is to really being into having it happen. Wholeheartedly, not just empty intellectualizing.

I've learned this the hard way. I've been very intellectually centered most of my life. It's my inclination to think about things rather than do them, and I tend to confuse the two.

And as I've gotten more and more in touch with my own emotional energy, I've found it easier to create and manifest what I really want. The positive thinking is of course very important, it structures my actions and reinforces positive emotional energy.

It comes down to three essential things: Will, Imagination, and Feeling. Will is the sincere desire to do something, Imagination is the structure and vision of this happening, and Feeling provides feedback and the ability to continue to motivate myself. I have to get into the feeling of it already happening to make it a success.

What do you will, imagine, and feel should happen in your life. You have all the tools within you. What do you want to happen?

The Peace Sign

Today I was driving in my jeep with the top down. Wearing my red bandanna and groovy sun glasses, I cruised flying high on an over pass. As I came down the ramp, I felt like I defined freedom. I wanted to throw my hands straight up in the air like I was on a ride at an amusement park, for safety sake, instead I let a primal scream soar up to the blue sky filled with billowing white clouds. The young man in the car behind me roared past me with his moon roof open. He must have felt it too, freedom. He stretched one hand high trough the open roof and gave me the peace sign. Ah, a kindred spirit I thought, smiling bright, I extended my left hand high waving "Peace" to my brother then I laughed uncontrollably. According to Wikipedia,the Peace sign or the "V" sign,or the “victory sign,” is a hand gesture with the index and middle fingers open and all others closed. It was used as a sign for victory during the Second World War by Winston Churchill, originally with palm in

A Positive Spin

     Bad things don't happen to me; but, when itching, pain, burning, body aches, nausea, and head aches continue to linger from a spider bite; I wonder.  In the spirit of positivity, I decided to rally and spin some light on the event. According to Louise Hay, "Spiders carry creation energy, a perfect metaphor for spring, when we blossom anew from marrow."  My bite is on the lower jaw, under my chin.  Could it be a message to take it on the chin? Is there something creative I need to chew on? Yes, yes indeed.      Maybe the bite was a direct message from the Universe.  At a totem website I found, "The bite of a poisonous spider symbolizes a death/rebirth process. Poison enters the nervous system and the body either transmutes it or falls victim to its venom and dies." There will be no dying here, not in the literal sense anyway. Where am I dying and being reborn in my life I wonder?      Shamanic teacher Nicki Scully, writes, "Spiders communicate with

Next stop for Dade grad with palsy: Harvard

The story that you are about to read speaks volumes to our human potential. A very dear friend of mine had the pleasure of working with this young man during the past few years and employed various routines using aromatherapy, massage therapy, movement therapy and swimming. I hope that you will read this and be as touched as I was! Kevin Mintz rolled his electric wheelchair up to the podium in the middle of the stage Friday. He looked down at his white graduation gown and then addressed the crowd, his speech slow and labored. The teenagers in the audience, buzzing with restless energy minutes earlier, quickly hushed. In the front row, his parents held hands and smiled: Their son, who will never walk, who they once feared would never even talk, had risen to the top of his Robert Morgan Educational Center class -- and was tapped to address the student body at the Pharmed Arena at Florida International University. Next, he is headed to Harvard on a full scholarship. Kevin, 18, has cereb
