Asking for Help

It’s not easy to ask for help, is it?  We wander around this plane trying to figure out who we are, getting stuck here or there, not knowing what to do next.  We are hampered by this unwillingness to seek help.

       “Who can do it alone?”, we could ask.  Well, no one, apparently.  We all rely on each other at some level.  There are days when we feel strong and days when we feel weak.  Leaning on each other is a necessary requisite to getting by in this life.  Culture can say what it wants about “doing it alone” or that “men are stronger than women”.  The fact is we need each other in times of weakness and it doesn’t matter what gender steps up to lend a hand. 

       When we are too tired or ill to do it ourselves, we need to reach out and take that hand, to let someone help and pull us free of the swamp. Better than drowning, isn’t it?  Better than giving up altogether.

As we embark on our search for truth and as we long for the seductive allure of salvation, this entry reminds me of the simplicity and obviousness of such a quest. I hope it speaks to you as it does me and reminds you of the profound power of choice that you have been given in the Eternal Now. With Love...

Journal 8, Entry 23

Truth cannot be found or sought, learned or taught, discovered or lost. It can only be desired or feared. And this, indeed, is your choice between Love and Fear. This is the exact same as choosing between Truth or Illusion, God or Satan, Reality or Dreams, Heaven or Hell. These are all the same for you either Are or Are Not what you were created to be. And this is your choice.

Because you were created Free.

Here is the mystery of life solved, the truth of reality discovered and the answers you seek found. And here are God, Truth and Heaven not just found and not just discovered and not just understood,

But Experienced.

In this the mystery is not only solved but shown to not be mysterious. In this the Truth is not only discovered but shown to have never been lost. And in this your questions are not only answered but shown to be irrelevant in the first place.

For we are all created Equal and endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.

And these are indeed Life, Liberty and Love.

To the many of us (you,)

who upon my bulk

are wishing for the

immediate transformation

of the species,

I wish for you to remember

In the past, I would have visions. At times when I would try to go to sleep, I would see these, movies I will call them. They used to scare the hell out if me. This morning, when I tried to rest, I got a vision. It was a real filled out little bush, bright and green. The bush began to spread out, rapidly. Once it got a certain size, the middle disappeared, and the bush was then shaped like I reef. The ground in the middle was very furtle looking, a dark, moist, dirt, I could smell the fresh dirt. What this means has several different meaning in my mind, not sure which one is correct. I was glad that the visions have returned because I now embrace them. I am no longer afraid of who or what I am.

Before moving to a new city at the end of next week, I decided to spend the remaining balance on a gift card I had. I decided to purchase a new Oracle Card deck and was looking at the ones I did not yet own - aiming for a bit of diversity and perhaps some new guidance. I already had: Dolphins/Mermaids, Mayan Language of Light, Fairies, and Spirit Animals. I prefer the smaller 44 (this number has been recurring for me since I was a small child) card decks, which are easier to shuffle, to traditional 72 card tarot deck. 

I decided to pass up the Raphael angel deck, even though I am rather fond of Raphael. I also passed up two other decks focused on healing - including a tempting forest-based tarot deck. My healing is coming along rather nicely and instinctively, I don't need any messages about it or to mess with it right now. :) 

Angels and Saints, another tempting choice. I had recently discovered my family geneology was an offshoot of Eastern Catholicism and I have always identified with Brighid as my patron Saint. On a recent vacation I found myself, on the railing of a cruise ship, speaking to a Puerto Rican man about never being separated from the Christ-like love in our hearts, and so not having anything to be afraid of. I also have some dear Catholic friends and resonate with a few bands that draw their heritage from their. Nevertheless, it wasn't quite the deck for right now. 

There was also another somewhat generic Angels deck and an Archangel specific deck. However, the Archangel deck featured 15 Archangels - a number that doesn't quite fit with how I'm being guided right now. It didn't seem a fit at all. I have many strong Michaels in my life that care for me and I know that Michael is a strong guiding presence in my life, but I also passed up that deck because it was a bit too specific.
