Proof Of An After Life

Neurosurgeon claims to have seen Heaven

Your perspectives are based on your experiences. What you define in your life, or give a label to is based on those understandings and views. You and I could have the same near death spiritual experience and based on our perspectives give aspects of that experience different names because of what we believe to be true in our own lives.

You may call your experience a visit to heaven, I might call it the Celtic Otherworld, someone else may call it Summerland or Valhalla. No label is wrong, because the label is given by the person who had the experience. It was their event, they have a right to call it what they will.

This discussion has come up here in my community because of story reported in our local news. One of our NBC News anchors, Curt Autry, reported on a story about a neurosurgeon who had a near death experience and believes he has proof of heaven.

A few people are upset that the “news” is reporting this story. Some are denouncing the Dr.s claims and insist there is a medical reason for his “vision”. Others, like me, support his vision as it’s not the first time we’ve heard this type of story or near death experience.

So the discussion has begun. Here is a link to the story and video posted by Mr. Autry – Neurosurgeon’s Experience Of Heaven.

Lessons of spirit are in play. The crystal mountain that lays before you is not the final destination in your journey. It’s only the next goal. Allow yourself time to sit within the mountains shadow and direct its healing through your heart and mind. Become a reflection of its compassion and care. Walk Your Talk© and see the world with better eyes.

Additional Insight:

When we see the world through eyes of hate, anger and frustration, we spread that negativity through those around us and out into the community. It’s not enough to say you believe in “God” or go to your place of worship each week and mouth the words to a recorded message. Lessons of spirit run deep and they cannot be avoided. Don’t walk your path saying one thing on your day of worship and doing another when you get back home. The hypocrisy doesn’t go unnoticed. Not by those around you and not by the Divine spirits you honor.

But when you do Walk Your Talk©, you can look at the world through brighter eyes. You can see the good in people, the compassion they often have for one another in times of disaster and the caring for their community when concern is needed most. No matter what their skin color, sexual preference, religious or political beliefs; human beings come together and help their neighbor in need.

Why can’t we walk in that shadow of spirit in our everyday life too? Be an example of the loving Divine spirit and open your arms to healing. Not only healing within your own heart, but within your community, state and country as well.

Many Blessings to everyone, in love and compassion. – Spring

The Votes Are In – It’s Time For Compassion and Unity

Patriotic Wolf – Artist Unknown

Thank You For Your Patriotism America

Thank you to everyone who got out yesterday and voted. Who ever you voted for, your action was an expression of freedom that has been paid for by many who have come before us and many who have given life and limb so you could do so.

Now that the votes are in, it’s time to bury the anger and political rhetoric. We cannot be a United people, when some groups are being restricted, controlled, hated or ignored out of fear and ignorance. Doing so breeds contempt, distrust and hate. Acceptance creates peace, respect and inclusion. A United States born out of a desire to be free for all, not for a controlling few.

We light a candle today and ask the Divine Universe to guide the knowledge and compassion of our leaders, that they may guide their steps with wisdom and inclusion. We hope our leaders walk a path of compromise for the good of all people, without fear, anger, or hatred. But rather in love and compassion for all. We hope that even though we may have our differences, we can all find common ground to share a smile, common respect and the return of civility once again.

Let It Be So –

Creative magik is afloat today. You have reached the pentacle of hardship and it’s time to remove the bindings that have held you down. But be cautious. There are still enemies out there who would want to secure those bindings with chains the next time around. They are afraid of where you’re going, and their fear leads them into darkness. Show compassion and light the way. If they refuse to follow, you may have to leave them behind for the good of your own self-interests.

Additional Insight:

How you move forward from this moment on will dictate the progress you make. Take one step in anger, hate, or frustration and you could stumble down the hill and be caught in turmoil again.

Use your freedom wisely and try to help others break the binds that hold them back. There’s no need to argue, no need to get frustrated or yell. Simply hold out your hand reassure those who feel an unrealistic fear about the future.

Take your time and don’t rush through anything over the next three to six months. Consider the consequences of your actions before you take them. Make sure you’re willing to live with the choices you make, not only in how they impact you, but how the effect those around you.

Walk with love and acceptance, compassion and gratitude and you’ll find sure footing on your path forward.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

With the whirlwind of activity going on around you, there’s no way you can stay in the shadows and hide. Your attitude is being noticed, good and bad. Make sure today, it’s much more good than bad. Smile, be friendly and help others resolve their little problems and get things done. Your work will benefit you more than you can realize today.

Additional Insight:

It may not be in your nature to hide. But you have been doing a lot of that lately. The more the Divine Universe takes notice, the more you’ll be put in positions where you must be in the limelight. Why are you fighting so hard to stay hidden? It doesn’t support the dreams you have and the goals you’ve set. So your actions are in conflict with your thinking. And that is creating greater stress, anxiety and frustration that is strongly affecting your health.

Stand up tall and proud. Smile and step into the spot light. Show what you can do and why you deserve the attention and leadership role you’re dreaming about. No one else can do it for you. And it’s not going to come to you wrapped in a nice neat box on a platter.

Leadership takes work, effort and the ability to trust your instincts. Express your confidence, while still remaining humble and respectful of others, their ideas and suggestions. And today you could shine brighter than you could imagine.

Here in the U.S. it’s voting day. I hope everyone eligible to vote gets out there and puts their civic duty into practice!

Spread A Smile

Optimism and Smiling Help You Live Longer

There’s an old adage “ignorance is bliss” that pops up from time to time when I’m teaching or giving a lecture. Especially when the subject is about taking personal accountability for your life. Inevitably someone will mention this old saying and wonder why becoming more spiritually aware in your life means giving up that bliss happy feeling that comes along with attaining enlightenment.

The simple answer is, you’re looking at this from the wrong perspective. Because becoming personally accountable for your actions, thoughts and choices shouldn’t be a burden. It should give you a sense of empowerment over the path your life takes and the direction it’s headed into.

You have the free will and choice to allow every action you take to be overwhelming or a gift of insight and understanding. But that choice is yours to make. Others cannot make you happy, nor can they be held accountable for the choices you make in your life. When you stop blaming others for the things that go wrong in your life; you will discover that you had the power in your hands to create the results you wanted from the beginning. And that spiritual knowledge can and will help you change the direction of your path toward a more positive and optimistic future. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Devil

Nov5

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

That little devilish character within is trying to tell you to relax and have some fun. Things have gotten way to serious lately and the perspective is causing you to miss the little fun things or humorous things that happen in everyday life. So stop waiting around for those big moments of celebration, they are few and far between. Instead enjoy all the little things that happen throughout the day that bring a smile or giggle or even a laugh or two. Besides, smiling makes you live longer.

Additional Insight:

One thing about being on a spiritual journey is that you learn to take more responsibility for your choices and actions. That personal accountability isn’t something to take lightly. It’s one reason why some people say “ignorance is bliss”. But for those on a spiritual path, the knowledge you gain should not be a burden or add to the weight you’re carrying on your shoulders. It’s not something that should focus your attention on the serious issues or choices that fall across your path. Rather just the opposite.

Walking a spiritual path of enlightenment should teach you that even though your free will and choices create accountability, they should also teach you that you’re not alone. You are also empowered to create the path of your dreams and that all things are possible. The knowledge you gain toward enlightenment should lift the burdens that weigh you down because you discover not only what’s really important and what has true value in your life.

When you understand this, the burdens in life are lighter and much easier to carry. The seriousness of stress and anxiety weakens and you can enjoy the little exciting and fun moments that pop up during the day.

Smile because you know all things are possible and you have the power to create them. Smile, laugh a little and let that mischievous devil out once in a while.

What’s In A Name? And What Does It Mean?

How Pagans Define Their Religion

Do we call it Pagan, neo-Pagan, Witchcraft, Wicca or some other label? Is ‘Witchcraft” the religion or is it something else? If we look at the origins of the word and how it was originally used, then yes, Witchcraft is a religion. But it’s important to look at the origins as well as the meaning of the words as they were initially used to begin this discussion. But it’s also important to look at how these words have evolved throughout time and what they have become to mean.

Words like people evolve in their meaning and in their use. When a religion such as modern paganism has evolved so much through the centuries, does it really make sense to hold onto old labels like “Witchcraft”? Some say no. Others say that was never the name for our religion to begin with. It was heaped onto believes by the early Christian Church and demeans our beliefs and practices.

So how do modern practitioners of paganism define the name for their religion? For that we have to start at the beginning and discuss the meaning, origin and evolution of some of the words and labels that are used within our religion. This maybe tedious stuff, but it’s important to know where you came from in order to understand where you’re going. Continue reading →

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Start celebrating, you’ll find victory today and through the weekend. Your hard work is paying off and though it hasn’t felt like it, things are turning around. Don’t forget to acknowledge the spiritual energy you put out as well. Take some time to celebrate your balance of mind/body/spirit in both the physical and spiritual aspects. You’ll be holding up the trophy of success sooner than you think.

Additional Insight:

When we remember that we are both physical and spiritual beings, we can work toward our goals with ALL our energy and resources. Consequently when we do achieve success, it’s important to remember both natures in celebration and honoring the unseen energy that helped you get there.

While it maybe a good weekend for celebration, don’t forget to spend some time in quiet and reverent reflection. Perhaps a little ceremony to thank your spirit guides and the loved ones from spirit who helped you get through the struggles.

No one is an island and there are many, both seen and unseen who have been there for you, pulling for you and perhaps even helping you along the way. Don’t forget to say Thanks while you celebrate your own hard work.
