Simple Wisdom: Echos from the past, energy from another now

Echoes of the past, it is true, often reverberate in this now. We hear them in our worries and our fears, our phobias and our preoccupations. The echoes can also reverberate as bliss and as joy. A forgotten memory from a whole other now may be heard in a moment of causeless joy or of self-sustaining joy, triggered by seemingly nothing at all, but it’s not nothing at all at all. It’s something quite profound, in fact. It is the energy you created in that other now, still in the air, connecting with you in this now, as perhaps your thoughts in this now or your actions or deeds in this now triggered a vibrational equivalent to the vibrational alignment you were in at the now of the original expression of this energy.

That previous now could easily have been in a lifetime previous to the one of this now. Consider this in figuring out your fears and your phobias, and in understanding patterns that repeat in your life, patterns that you feel may be blocking you in some way from achieving your birth vision for this time on earth. The thing is, a life can be cut short for a variety of reasons. It doesn’t even have to be cut short to affect your next lifetime. Trauma from one lifetime will inevitably ripple into your next lifetime, resulting in echoes. Ask yourself, what is echoing from the past? How do you answer these echoes?

Simple Wisdom: The Genesis of Wisdom

A spirit needs space to expand without getting mixed up with the static of the unevolved and unenlightened. Does following a set of rules and guidelines get you enlightenment, or does discovering your own path and your own way? Does chanting this or that enough times take you to Nirvana? If you find your own path, even if it is unaffiliated with a deity or a guru, should you follow it, or should you only venture on the pre- blazed paths?

Whose wisdom should you trust, the one spoken to you by a voice in your head, or somebody who wrote a book and claims to have the answers? What is the genesis of wisdom? From where does it originate? Wisdom is an intrinsic knowing. It is beyond the ego. It is what you find that resonates with you through your own explorations of your inner landscape.

The ideas of others, and what they call “teachings” may serve as jumping off points for your own explorations, but be certain you find the connection between their words and your own understanding, or their words will have no value to you. This is the genesis of wisdom.

Simple Wisdom: Don’t fear what you find in your heart

Don’t be afraid to communicate with others. If it is in your heart, know that it did not get there by
mere coincidence. What you find in your heart is organic to who you are and more importantly,
why you are. Do not fear what you find in your heart. What is in your heart was placed there by
your spirit. It is your spirit. So explore the unexplored regions. See what is there. Know that
it is true and real and that when shared with others, the others will know the realness of it and
appreciate it. Much of what is there, in your heart, is there to be known by others. Share.
Trust. Know. Be fearless.

Simple Wisdom: Influence

Divine Grace operates through us all. Do not shirk away from the people who have a genuine
need of what you offer. This is all part of the web that is existence on earth. Remember that the
influence you have on others helps them to find the pieces of their puzzles that in return help
others to find their own truths.

Simple Wisdom: Discovering who we are

What can wound an inner child? A dashing of hope. A placement of limitations. A sense of separation and abandonment.

We are perfect. We are born knowing what the world should be. We are intimately aware of oneness. It is though, the harsh realities of life on earth, of having the indignities of the ego thrust upon us from those in our life that we lose sight of these things. These things are not fully gone, they are simply covered over by blankets that hide the truth, the light. Over time, this light is hidden, but on a deeper not forgotten. This light still shines; however muted it may be by all these layers.

Over time, we begin to question the life of the ego that we are embroiled in. We begin to examine these blankets and question their validity. One by one, we begin to remove these layers, peeling them away, one and then the next and next until we uncover that light of truth of who we are.

When we are born, we are still very aware of our team of divine helpers and the fact that we have a mission and a purpose on the earth. Because we know it, we assume that those in our life know it too. It confuses us that they do not act as though they know it. They seem to act in ways that are counterproductive to achieving their purpose. They ignore the help and guidance offered by the divine helpers. This is confusing. These people are our caregivers. They must know best. They must know the truth. Because we rely on them so heavily, they must know the truth, know what’s best. Their thoughts and ideas become our own. We are now enculturated. We are now a part of this society.

Slowly our awareness of the divine truth of ourselves gives way to the projections of society. Now we are what society needs us to be and what it expects of us. Now the burden of rediscovering our truth is on us. But is it a burden? The peeling away of these blankets to get back to that core light can be both thrilling and exciting, can it not be?

The process of discovering, the process of stumbling upon answers and then figuring out the question that fits it can be thrilling. What do we learn of ourselves and of society if we do not go through this process of discovery? This is what it means to incarnate and be present on the earth. In this way, we achieve balance. We achieve balance between our divine self and our earthly self. What we learn on the earth becomes our soul. This soul, and its knowledge and wisdom contributes to the knowingness of all beings of the universe. This is The Silence. This creates a universal strength. In the reality of oneness, the wisdom of one is the wisdom and strength of all.

Simple Wisdom: Who is She?

She judges her own self-worth by how bad she can make other people feel. This, to her, is power. She measures her own self esteem by how low she can make another feel. Her aim is to make this other person cry. If she can get them to cry, then she feels good about herself. If she can get somebody to cry over her, she feels valued, important. She feels as though she is worth something if she can get people to cry for her.

This of course, is an indication of a deep rooted sadness. This of course is an indicator of a long-held sense of low self-esteem and low self-worth. She will attempt to boost her self esteem by being cold to others, people that she has drawn in and made them feel close. By making them feel cold and distant, she will feel better about herself, because now she feels she is worth feeling bad about to this other person.

Is it worthwhile for this other person to be upset over losing her, or for the thought of losing her? People like this, as unfortunate as it is for them to have this sense of low self-esteem, really are not worth the effort to be close to. Who needs this level and this amount of fickleness in their life? Life is meant to be enjoyed. Happiness is a birthright.

These people will not provide you this happiness. People like this will make you feel distant from your center, and drained of energy. There’s really not much you can do for them as they will always be looking for their next energetic/self-esteem boost at your or somebody else’s expense. Did you ask for their energy drain? Did you sign on to be their martyr? Of course not. Let these people get whatever psychological help they need, but don’t take it upon yourself to heal them or to provide them their fix.

Of course, show them compassion, but stay distant. What’s the point of being used this way? Accept these people for who and what they are. Forgive them for any pain you may have felt because of them, then move on with your life. You will notice these people moving from person to person, indiscriminately getting close, soliciting attention, indiscriminately forming bonds with them, and then quickly moving on from them. There is a sense of constant discontentment about them. Until they choose to get the help they need to heal themselves, they will continue to use people up and toss them aside.

This example was written as a female. It was just an example. It is a gender neutral phenomenon. A “He” is just as likely to play this game.

We do what we can do to help people, but if they are simply resistant to what we offer, what are we supposed to do?

Simple Wisdom: You are not meant to help everybody.

Do what you do, be what you are, become a master of your personal power, but be aware that it is not for you to be there for everybody. People who need you and will benefit from you will find you. Just create space and be available to them. Those who will benefit from your gifts will be drawn to you. Just be there. They will come to you. Just be there. They will come to you.

Trying too hard to draw them to you consciously will only lead to frustration. Simply create the space and let them find you. Let them come to you. Let the others find who and what they need.

There are many healers in this world. Those with specific needs will find those sent to fulfill these needs. We are each from different aspects and different spaces from throughout the universe. Some are bountiful, others are few. These are our spirits. Those from like places find each other. This is intrinsic. Just allow it to happen. These are the people we most benefit from being around. These are the most healing to us. These are the ones we can most heal. This is our true cosmic ohana.

Double Oh Fool Guide to Tarot Mastery

Simple Wisdom: To be truly alive is to complete the puzzle of who we are.

One’s inner landscape is a field of immense wisdom. One becomes a genius simply by exploring the different levels of consciousness that we each are privy to.

Sometimes these levels of consciousness will scream at us. If we are intelligent, we will listen. We will accept what we are hearing as sage advice and heed it. Sometimes though, we do not. When we do not, we miss a chance to grow, to achieve maximum impact of wisdom. This wisdom of who we are within is intrinsic to us. Much of it is hidden, waiting to be found, needing to be triggered.

What triggers this? Life experiences. Travel. The pieces of somebody else’s puzzle that resonate with us. Pain. The desire to transcend the pain we are feeling. Joy. A good feeling that experience that we want to elaborate on. Much is in a lock box . We search for the keys. They can be triggered by lost pieces of our self. When we lose a piece of our self, this piece of the self holds something that is intrinsically important to the wholeness of the being that is you. This is true. This is why we must heal pains and traumas of the past. This is how we retrieve the pieces of our self. We retrieve these wounded pieces of our self.

Once healed, once invited back into the fold of the totality of ourselves, we reabsorb the wisdom that was lost. Once healed, we retrieve a key that unlocks a box with jewels of intrinsic knowledge of ourselves. As cosmic divine creatures, these knowings and wisdoms of our self is unveiled to the rest of our cosmic universal society. Therefore, what we learn of ourselves will benefit all. How could it not?

We are each a piece of the other of the other of the other of the other. We are each a complex piece of a much larger puzzle. Therefore, heal past traumas, get past old wounds and make the piece of the puzzle that is you as complete and whole as it can be.

What’s Tarot Got To Do With It?

Double Oh Fool Guide to Tarot Mastery

Simple Wisdom: What is beyond wisdom?

What is beyond wisdom? Pure divinity and grace. Beyond wisdom is what is intrinsic and authentic.

We seek wisdom. But what is this that we call “wisdom” but an interpretation? Do we not take what is genuine and authentic and place upon it and filter through it our own thoughts and projections based on our individual needs and the needs of our society?

Therefore, what is real? What is authentic? Authenticity lies beyond what we try to interpret and what we try to rationalize and understand. True wisdom is but an impulse felt by the heart. It is a sudden knowing that suddenly occurs to us. It is a quiet mind that simply downloads and may or may not seek an awareness of.

Is wisdom found in books? Interpretations are found in books. In the attempts to articulate what we receive in our quiet states, something pure, the pureness of what we know becomes lost. There will be those who read our words and place upon them a different understanding. They will in their attempt to gain “knowledge” find in our words a meaning that suits them, that fits into the paradigm of their previous encultured understandings. This is fine and it is to be expected. It does not mean that one should not try to impart wisdom to others. For it is true that each point you offer gives a starting point for their understandings.

What it means is that for one to receive pure and true intrinsic knowledge, one must seek it for their own self. They must learn (for in your culture today, a quiet mind is no longer intrinsic. It, yes, must be taught and learned) to quiet their mind to receive divine messages that are available to all.

Silence. Silence the mind. Meditate. Seek those of like virtue. A quiet mind in a chaotic sea can do much to calm the waters.

Simple Wisdom: Who are you when you are being authentic?

If there is anything that I’ve learned about humanity, it is that people are obsessed with facades. They will project any demeanor they want to be associated with. And most people will believe it. Maybe it is my curse that I see right through it.

So few of these people are living lives of true happiness. Most of these people are in pain. But they are not living this pain. They keep it beneath the surface, covering it with facades and masks until their true self is gone. Where did they go? They are buried beneath all those layers somewhere. Under these layers they are moldering. They are rotting away not allowing for the truth of who they are to be respected or acknowledged. Why would anybody do this?

I want to shake the people! I want to scream, at them to authenticate themselves! Experience the real you! Be true! Once you experience yourself, you will know yourself! Once you know yourself, you are strong! Once you are strong, you grow into your true power and shine! Once you shine, the cinderblocks encasing your heart begin to crumble and you are not imprisoned anymore!

It all starts with the self. It starts with acceptance. Accept yourself as you are, however you are. Do this, and the paradigm of yourself falls into place as it should be.
