Soul Mates, Twin Souls & Karmic Relationships – Updated

Spiritual Relationships Revisited

On Monday night (May 14, 2012), Paul Cagle, Sushi and I sat at our round table for The Ænigma Project and held a discussion about Soul Mates. The next day I wrote a follow up article that covered the topics we discussed and the Pagan Metaphysical approach to what these relationships are and what they mean to us.

Some time between then and now, that article became corrupted on the server, with bits and pieces missing. I’m not sure when that occurred, but thankfully I had the original article on a back up where I could recover it. Thanks to my friend Myranda for bringing the corrupted issue to my attention!

The article has been recovered and posted, as well as tweaked with a few cosmetic updates -> Soul Mates, Twin Souls & Karmic Relationships – Updated.

If you missed the original airing of the show you can still listen to this episode on The Ænigma Project’s Blo g. Or on the show’s broadcast Archives on Tenacity Radio – 2012-05-14- Soul-Mates

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Pentacles – Inverted

Jan9

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It may seem like you’re gathering one fruit for your basket as someone else is taking it out. It’s hard to get ahead right now, but you’re not looking at the bigger picture. Things aren’t falling out of your basket now. Instead, they’re moving up and coming back. It may not seem like it today, but things are changing for the better under the scene. Don’t give up yet!

Additional Insight:

Sometimes we get so far down in the hole that we first have to climb back to the surface in order for things to start climbing up to the tree tops and beyond. In the past, it was a constant two steps forwards and three steps back. But look at things today and you’ll notice the slight difference around you.

Now is not the time to give up and start packing it in. You fought the good fight and you’re almost back to the surface. Yes there’s still a long road to haul, but if you made a plan and you’ve stuck to it; you’re going to see it manifest. All you need to do is stay focused and walk the path through the valley.

The mountain top isn’t as far away now as it was. One step at a time and you’ll reach the base of the mountain and begin your climb to success. Give yourself some encouragement and look back at where you were and how far you’ve come. Don’t give up now that you’re so close to putting everything in place and seeing your plans blossom in the spring. Look forward to April; it’s going to be a really good month.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Swords

Jan8

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t allow the anxiety and stress to turn you into a weeping two faced flower. It’s ok to say “I don’t know”. It’s not something to be ashamed of. It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help and humility to admit you don’t know everything. Be cautious of those who show you one thing to your face in order to gain your compassion. They maybe stabbing you in the back, as soon as you turn around.

Additional Insight:

In today’s society emphasis is given to those who stand on their own and fight the tough battles. But no one stands alone, no matter how much they profess their accomplishment. They may have worked hard and prepared for opportunities when they arose; but some where along the line someone gave them a break or made the choice to recognize their ability.

Those who believe they’ve made it through on their own can sometimes feel entitled and look down upon those who need help at this moment in time. They can show the inner two faced nature they hold within and in doing so, undermine your efforts to fight the good fight.

Swords represent strength when viewed through the positive, but it can also be strife when expressed through the negative. This is also the lesson given to us through Humility and Confidence. Today the lessons of strength are being put to the test against the lessons of strife brought through over confidence.

Be cautious of those who hold out compassion with strings attached. Be wary that you’re not the one looking down with a confident air upon those who are facing hard times. By the grace of the Divine Universe; the struggles they face maybe yours one day. It is through humility that we offer compassion and concern. Through the eyes of oneness.

When we remember that we’re in this world together as a community, we can over come any hardship, any disagreement and any prejudiced. We can discover compassion between us and stand on the common ground we share instead of the competing hill tops. We are all connected and inter-connected to each other, the world around us and the through the Divine Universe. No matter what our differences, we are the same – simple human beings trying to make our way in the world.

Humility & Confidence – What Ego Can Teach You
The Dalai Lama on Piers Morgan Tonight April 25, 2012:
“I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less. And I am one of the seven billion human being. Basically we are the same… your emotion, my emotion, your mind, my mind.., same physical. So I always look [at it] that way. We are the same.”

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ace of Wands

Jan7

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be a beacon that lights the way and you will attract the passion of others to join your cause. There is strength in numbers, but someone must stand out front and lead the way. Though it may feel lonely and sometimes it can be scary when you feel there’s no one else to lean on; remember you are never alone.

Additional Insight:

Being a Manager is NOT a popularity contest – it is a Responsibility.
Steve Letart: Nascar Crew Chief

Leading the way, whither it’s for your family, a club, an organization or a company; has both advantages and disadvantages. You are out front and reap all the benefits before anyone else. But few see all the stress, worry and hard work that goes into walking the path upfront.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the Mom, Dad, or the Boss; you can’t be friends with everyone and manage by vote and consensus. Someone has to make the decisions and take the lead so everyone can work together for the benefit of all.

How you think about your position will determine what obstacles and rewards cross your path. If you continually worry and stress out over the little things, you will attract more of the same. Each time the obstacles will get bigger and bigger until you really are overwhelmed and create a self-defeated prophecy.

But if you can remember that you’re never alone and you rise up each morning with a connection to the Divine source in your life, you can face any obstacle with innovation, creativity and success. You are part of the greater Divine Creation after all. The electricity of your passion will energize those around you. It can uplift both people and environment. It can take you to the next level and set up the ladder to the next level beyond that. Do you want to climb a rope? Or would you rather walk up a few short steps? The choice is up to you.

So why not tap into that energy and channel it through your heart, mind and soul to adapt, overcome and succeed. Stop fighting your role, and start accepting the beacon of light to lead the way to success.

Don’t forget your 5-minute Alignment Meditation to connect to the Divine in your life. And begin, or continue, creating the world you want to be in with positive direction and success.

On TenacityRadio.com
Get Your Tinfoil Hat and Join Us Live!

The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives. Through multiple view points and experiences, we seek to enlighten our listeners and elucidate that which has become hidden beneath the many layers of misunderstanding and fear.

01/07 Our Topic: The Paranormal Shakti
What is the Paranormal Shakti? Can it really increase your sensitivity to paranormal energies? Can it actually decrease the paranormal sensitivity in someone who is a victim of paranormal pollution (hauntings)? We will discuss the controversial neuroscience based on the work of Dr. M.A. Persinger that gave birth to the Paranormal Shakti system. Along with the Skakti’s alleged ability to turn on, or off, the sensitivity to paranormal energies in the brain. Plus much more.

Join Paul Cagle and his co-hosts Sushi and Springwolf as we share our research, knowledge, insight and humor, play “Truth or Tale” and talk about the news of the day.

You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. If you don’t want to join the chat, you can still listen live on your pc or Smartphone on TuneIn radio! I LOVE this app!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Compassion eases the beast of anger and negativity. You can react to those who are angry and frustrated by sharing their emotions; or you can ease their pain by showing compassion. If you join in their suffering, you will only extend their emotions into your world and create problems you don’t want or need. If you attempt to show compassion, hold out a hand and lift them up; you may find you’re picking yourself up as well.

Additional Insight:

We create what we express. Don’t allow the emotions of others to control your thoughts, responses and actions. You have enough of your own frustration going on, you don’t need to pile onto it by allowing others to feed your fears; nor do you need to feed theirs.

There’s a time to share struggles as a release to let go of some of your frustration. But this should be done in a controlled environment where others can share their compassion and provide positive ideas, comfort and solutions to your woes. Simply commiserating with others creates an environment of energy that attracts more of the same and pulls you both (or all) down further than you are.

If you can create a cone of power for positive actions (such as healing), than you can create the same cone of power for sending out and receiving back negative actions. Even if you don’t realize you’re doing it.

The Divine Universe has a way of helping you move the negative influences out of your life if you will allow it to happen. That computer crash could be the Divine’s way of pushing you away from negative influences. The loss of a Twitter account maybe pushing you away from negative influences. Losing a job that you know was in jeopardy could be pushing you out of a bad situation and forcing you toward something better. If you continually fight against it and continue old patterns that you refuse to let go of, you will only feed the beast and increase the negativity around you. So don’t forget to listen to that inner voice that tells you to walk away, avoid this person or that situation, to move onto a new job or living situation.

Decide today what kind of year you want to have and change your thinking. Create an Affirmation to Evolve The Spirit within and repeat it out loud each morning. Paste to your bathroom mirror, your refrigerator, your favorite cup for coffee or tea. Make a sticky note for your car’s dashboard, or to stick on the side of your PC. Add it to the start page of your computer, or to a local home page on your browser. Put everywhere you want or need to so that you see it at least once a day, or several times a day. Remind yourself that you’re starting this year with a new positive attitude and a real concerted effort to change things for the better.

Holiday eMails Lost

Jan3

The Affects Of Computer Crashes

You may have read my posts of frustration about my computer crash in November. One of the issues with that crash was the loss of emails that I had already downloaded from our servers. I thought I had back ups, but evidently I didn’t. Which means I lost emails. Additionally, I wasn’t able to access my mail while my computer was down. So I have a stack of mail to get through now.

I will be answering mail between now and Monday. If you sent me something and don’t get a reply, it probably means I lost your message. I apologize. I hope you can resend your message and provide me the opportunity to respond. You all are very important to me and I don’t want you to feel ignored or slighted.

This issue affected both mail that was sent to Spring’s Haven and Pagan’s Path. You can visit both sites to send us mail, just look for our Contact page.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stop scratching at the little irritations around you, it’s only your frustrations at work. You’re liable to make those little things into something big that will fester and cause bigger problems. Instead look beyond the stress and see what you want for your day as if it’s already here and you’re already living it. Don’t let the stress win the day, rather allow the love and compassion for self to rule!

Additional Insight:

YOU determine what kind of day you have with each and every thought. Give into the pressure put upon you by others and you all them to control your day and perhaps even your life. Don’t sit back and allow their efforts to dictate your reactions.

Take control of your own thinking. Manage your own expectations and release others from the expectations you put upon them. You’re only setting them up to fail. You don’t like it when others set the bar for you to reach, so why do you do that to others?

Be responsible for your own thoughts and reactions. Others maybe having a bad day, but their energy shouldn’t dictate your reactions. Rise above the fray and allow yourself to love you and create the day you desire.

You can do this. Make this the day that you think of yourself with kindness and patience and all those little irritations won’t seem so important.
