Said to protect sailors at sea
and travelers on water,
Moonstone is more potent
during a waxing moon
and less so
during the waning.
This is the stone to use
if you seek to embody the goddess.
Activating intuition,
care has to be taken
that it does not induce illusions
or an overwhelming emotional
or psychic feeling.
Like the moon,
the stone is reflective
and reminds you that everything
is part of a cycle of change.
Lessening a tendency to
overreact emotionally,
Moonstone can also amplify emotions
in sensitive people at full moon,
especially those picked up from
other people.
This stone especially at full moon,
and has traditionally been used
to enhance metaphysical abilities
and to develop clairvoyance.
A stone of new beginnings,
Moonstone is filled with
receptive,
passive,
feminine energy.
It balances male-female energies
and assists men who want to get
in touch with their feminine side.
It is the perfect anecdote
for the excessively macho man
-or aggressive female.
Opening the mind to
sudden and irrational impulses,
serendipity,
and synchronicity,
placed on the solar plexus
it draws out old emotional patterning.

[HEALING STONES FOR THE VITAL ORGANS
by Michael Gienger
and Wolfgang Maier]
THE HEART
RULER OF EMOTION
Moonstone intensifies feelings,
improves perception of them,
and helps in following intuition,
which is the "voice of feelings."
SEAT OF THE SPIRIT
Moonstone allows one's true nature
to rule,
even when the intellect wavers
among different options
and directions.
BLOOD AND VITALITY
Moonstone strengthens participation
in life
and the world,
and thus intensifies
perceptions,
sensations,
and experiences.
LANGUAGE AND LIFE
Moonstone helps with insightful expression
and an ability to find the "right words"
(or "right silence")
in either
joyful
or sad situations.
GOOD SLEEP AND SPIRITUAL HEALTH
Moonstone improves sleep
by bringing the inner rhythm
of body and soul into harmony
with the outer rhythms of nature.
If there is a large discrepancy
between inner and outer rhythms,
this can lead to "primary aggravations"
in the form of sleep disturbances.
Moonstone helps in preventing
not only the outer manifestations
of beings and things
but also their inner expression.
DISTURBANCES IN THE HEART
Moonstone promotes
empathy,
perceptiveness,
and the ability to distinguish
between one's own true opinions
and invasive opinions.
Prevents descent into pity;
helpful for hypersensitivity.
Has a cooling effect,
also lowering blood pressure
and calming in times of
severe inner restlessness.
~~~
Moonstone improves the ability
to empathize
and our dedication to the world
and dealings with others.
~~~
[SIMPLY CRYSTALS
Cass and Janie Jackson]
Moonstone restores harmony
and emotional balance
wherever they may be lacking.
~~~
Moonstone is often regarded as
"the stone of new beginnings,"
and as the name suggests,
it is closely aligned with
the waxing and waning of the moon.
Sources include
Australia
Sri Lanka
and India.
Moonstone comes in
translucent shades of
white
cream
yellow
blue
and green.
It is often known as
the "travelers' stone"
and in the Middle Ages
was called selenite.
These crystals are
particularly abundant
in Sri Lanka
where they are known as
Ceylon opals.
This crystal is used mainly
for creating exquisite
pieces of jewelry.
Although it is readily obtainable,
prices vary according to
the quality of the setting.
Moonstone is sacred to
moon goddesses all over the world,
including the Greek goddess Selene,
and Luna, her Roman counterpart.
At one time it was believed
that the color of the moonstone
varied with the cycles of the moon.
The stone is considered
particularly valuable to women,
helping with
fertility,
menstruation,
pregnancy,
and childbirth.

ATTRIBUTES
Moonstone is a "stone of new beginnings."
As its name suggests
it is strongly connected to moon
and to the intuition.
Like the moon, the stone id reflective
and reminds us that,
as the moon waxes and wanes,
so everything is part of a cycle of change.
Its most powerful effect is that of
calming the emotions.
Moonstone makes conscious the unconscious
and promotes intuition
and empathy.
It encourages lucid dreaming,
especially at the time of the full moon.
Moonstone has traditionally been used
to enhance psychic abilities
and to develop
clairvoyance.
It can be worn as a pendant
to encourage acceptance
of your psychic gifts.
Psychologically, Moonstone calms overreactions
to situations
and to emotional triggers.
Moonstone is filled with
receptive, passive,
feminine energy.
It balances male-female energies
and aids men who want to
get in touch with their feminine side.
It is the perfect anecdote
for the excessively macho man
or overly aggressive female.
Mentally, Moonstone opens the mind
to sudden and irrational impulses,
serendipity,
and synchronicity.
Cara has to be taken that
it does not induce illusions
in response to wishful thinking.
Emotionally, Moonstone soothes
emotional instability
and stress,
and stabilizes the emotions.
It improves emotional intelligence.
Placed on the solar plexus,
it draws out old emotional patterning
so that it can be understood
and the dissolved.
Moonstone provides deep emotional healing
and heals disorders
of the upper digestive tract
that are related to emotional stress.
Physically, Moonstone powerfully effects
the female reproductive cycle
and alleviates menstrual-related dis-ease
and tension.
It is linked to the pineal gland
and balances the hormonal system,
stabilizes fluid imbalances,
and attunes to the biorhythmic clock.
It is helpful in cases of shock
and can be used
to calm hyperactive children.
HEALING:
Moonstone helps the digestive
and reproductive systems,
assimilates nutrients,
eliminates toxins
and fluid retention,
and alleviates
degenerative conditions of
skin,
hair,
eyes,
and fleshy organs
such as the liver
and pancreas.
It is excellent for PMS,
conception,
pregnancy,
childbirth,
and breast-feeding.
A Moonstone elixir was traditionally
used for insomnia
and its stone can prevent sleepwalking.
POSITION:
Wear as a ring
or place on the appropriate body part
-forehead for spiritual experiences,
and solar plexus
or heart
for emotions.
Women may need to remove Moonstone
at full moon.

MYTHOLOGY AND HISTORY:
Believed in Classical times
by such writers as the Roman Pliny
to absorb moon- and starlight,
rainbow moonstone is the original
moodstone,
increasing in translucence
or becoming dull
in response to the underlying mood
of the person carrying or wearing it.
(This happens to some extent
with all moonstones.)
The iridescence is caused by
what may appear to be
insect-like inclusions:
these are in fact tiny prismatic fractures
that reflect rainbows.
Moonstones, especially rainbow ones,
are given on
the thirteenth wedding anniversary
to counter fears of bad luck.
DIVINATORY SIGNIFICANCE:
You may want to try new methods
of psychic work
or divination.
If in doubt,
begin with dream interpretation.
HEALING THE ENVIRONMENT:
Rainbow moonstone is much more gentle
than rainbow quartz
and so is helpful in cases where
a person ahs low resistance
or their immune system
is not working properly.
It alleviates post-operative stress
for women who have had surgery
relating to their
breasts
ovaries
or womb
and helps with any scarring.
It is excellent for people
who harm themselves
or consider doing so
as a cry for help.
Rainbow moonstone will aid
all places torn apart by war
or internal abuses of power.
USES AT WORK AND HOME:
Rainbow moonstone is protective
for all who live in rural
or remote areas.
It helps both man and women
who work irregular hours
to adjust their body clocks.
It relieves jet lag
when flying overnight
and long distances.
CHILDREN AND ANIMALS:
Rainbow moonstone improves
speech problems
and learning difficulties
in children.
It also helps the conservation of
butterflies
moths
and dragonflies.
PSYCHIC ASSOCIATIONS:
Moonstone is a wish stone
for long-term projects.
Use it also in love rituals,
in ceremonies to increase
inner radiance
and for all full-moon magic.
RECHARGING ITS ENERGIES:
Leave it under
the light of the full moon,
or as near to the full moon
as you can.

MYTHOLOGY AND HISTORY
Until the sixteenth century
citrine was an umbrella term
for all sparkling yellow stones,
including stones such as topaz.
Called the sun stone,
citrine is said to hold pure sunlight
and never to absorb any negativity.
As a stone of Mercury,
the Roman messenger god,
it holds the clear sunlight
of early morning,
not the heat of noon.
Regarded as a merchant's stone,
citrine has been famed
for improving communication,
increasing selling power
(owing to the influence of Mercury)
and for attracting money
or business.
A citrine was placed in the cash register
or put with the accounts;
now it is put near the cash register.
~~~
DIVINATORY SIGNIFICANCE
Heralding joy in every aspect of your life,
citrine says it is time
to communicate your ideas and needs clearly,
especially in situations at work.
Try new activities
and visit new places.
Make time for any creative talents you have,
as they may prove lucrative.
~~~
HEALING AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Citrine is excellent for
the liver,
spleen,
gall bladder
and digestive system.
It reduces toxicity in the body,
relieves back pain
and eases skin problems
and allergies.
It is an effective remedy for
depressive illnesses
or phobias;
it will help you to think clearly
and put your problems in perspective.
The positive energy of citrine
drives away darkness and night fears
and protects against negative people.
A crystal of hope,
citrine can be placed on
an image of children in need
or of an area of intense poverty
or famine.
Leave the citrine on the picture
from dawn until noon,then wrap
the crystal and picture
in yellow or white silk
and leave it covered until the next dawn.
Repeat this process
for three consecutive days.
As you set the crystal
on the photograph,
name the positive energies you wish
to send to the place.
You may also wish to use citrine
to bless any material gifts
you send to such places.
~~~
USES AT WORK AND HOME
Citrine will clear any dark spots at home
caused by restless ghosts
or negative earth energies.
Keep a citrine inclusion
(tiny crystals in rock)
in a room that seems dark,
cold
or unfriendly.
Citrine is excellent for workers
in the media
and the arts.
~~~
CHILDREN AND ANIMALS
Citrine helps children
and teenagers
to feel loved
and is good for blending together
the tangled relationships that can arise
in step-families.
It also helps keep open
channels of communication
with teenagers.
Citrine helps pets,
particularly rescued animals,
settle into a new
or temporary environment.
~~~
PSYCHIC ASSOCIATIONS
Associated with the crown
and solar plexus chakras,
citrine releases joy
and brings spiritual powers
into the everyday world.
Citrine was supposedly
a powerful transmitter
of solar healing energy in Atlantis.
Citrine is excellent for prosperity rituals.
Charge a citrine with energies
of abundance
by burning a yellow candle next to it at dawn.
Keep the energized crystal in your purse
to attract money to you.
Citrine will make you more intuitive
and help you distinguish between
free-floating anxiety
and your inner voice that advises you
as to the right action.
It is also very good for automatic writing
(where you ask a question
and allow your hand to write freely).
It draws wisdom from
the collective memory bank
via your own psychic powers.
Use citrine in creative visualization
to help bring a desired object or goal
from your thoughts
into the everyday world.
Hold the citrine in your power hand
(the one you write with)
while picturing in your mind
the desired result coming nearer.
Carry the charged citrine with you
as a reminder
as you put your plans into action.
Citrine does not absorb negativity
but transforms it into
positive energy.
Therefore, it is a crystal
that can keep on
energizing
and protecting
for a long time.
This makes citrine useful
if you are under a lot of pressure
or are away from home
and feel vulnerable.
~~~
RECHARGING ITS ENERGIES
Leaving citrine in sunlight
from dawn until noon
will fill it with extra radiance,
especially on the summer solstice
(21 June in the northern hemisphere
and 21 December in the southern hemisphere).
However do not expose citrine
to intense sunlight too frequently
as it may start to crack.
~~~
[Melody's
LOVE IS IN THE EARTH]
CITRINE
(Astrological Signs of Gemini
Aries
Libra
and Leo)
Citrine is a variety of quartz,
the colour being in the range
from yellow to golden brown
to burnt amber.
It is one of the two minerals on the planet
which does not hold and accumulate
negative energy,
but dissipates
and transmutes it,
working-out problems
on both the physical
and subtle levels.
It, hence, never needs
clearing
or cleansing.
It has also been reported that citrine
is one of the stones to be called
the "merchant's stone";
placing a cluster or a crystal of citrine
in ones cash box
has produced more income
for the merchant.
It not only assists the merchant
in acquiring wealth,
but helps to maintain the state of wealth.
This mineral is useful for balancing
the yin-yang energy
and for the aligning chakras
with the ethereal plane.
It activates,
opens
and energizes
the navel
and solar plexus chakras,
directing, via personal power,
creativity,
and intelligent decisiveness,
the energy necessary to enhance
the physical body.
It emits an elevated energy
which provides one with
supplemental initiative
coupled with emotional balance.
It stimulates the intuitive self
and promotes contact with
the higher forces of intelligence.
It also illuminates the energy
of the root chakra,
delivering both comfort
and optimism.
It can help one to dispense with
the fundamental level of fear.
It further promotes
a radiance from within the self,
culminating in a constant happy disposition.
It brightens even the darkest corner
of ones perceived reality,
and helps one to "laugh without restraint".
It is quite efficient in conveying,
when necessary, information relative to
the appropriate aspects of survival.
It also allows for clarification
of problems related to the realms of
the intellect
and emotions.
It influences, in a positive manner,
the areas of
education,
business pursuits,
and interpersonal relationships.
It is an excellent stone for smoothing
family
or group
problems and,
subsequently, producing cohesiveness
within the associative members.
It acts similarly to the cutting edge
of a sword, penetrating problems
and expediting solutions.
Citrine, especially in the faceted form,
stimulates the crown chakra,
allowing for synthesis between
the intellect and total perfection;
it is, therefore, quite helpful
in problem solving,
for facilitating recognition of resolutions
to mental conundrums
and for promoting mental awareness
on a moment-to-moment basis.
It is said to stimulate openness
and to accelerate the wakening of the mind.
It is an excellent stone
for clearing the aura
and for aligning the auric body
with the physical structure,
diminishing the "muddy" areas
in both the auric body
with the physical body.
It can act to stabilize the emotions,
to dispel anger
and to encourage one to
"look toward the sunrise",
the freshness of brginningd
and the reality of excellence.
It is said to have been one of the stones
used in the breastplate of the high priest.
In addition, there is a formation
of Citrine/Smokey Quartz
(sometimes with "clear quartz")
with clean definition between the colours,
which has been found in Brazil.
This alliance of forces
merges the energy of all three minerals
and for a dynamic healing stone.
The citrine acts to
cleanse the energies
of the smokey and "clear" quartz,
while the smokey quatz provides
grounding for all endeavors.
The faceted form provides a distinct
and bright energy for application
to all aspects,
combining the singular energies
of the three minerals
to provide an energy greater than the sum.
It can aid in digestion,
can assist in the treatment of
digestive disorders
and can promote the circulation of blood.
It has been used in the treatment
of degenerative disorders
and to facilitate the diminishment of growths.
It has also been used to increase
visual abilities,
to balance the thyroid
and to activate the thymus.
Vibrates to the number 6.

[SIMPLY CRYSTALS
by Cass & Janie Jackson]
Citrine is a lovely yellow
or brown stone,
very similar to topaz.
Indeed, it is variously known as
Brazilian topaz,
'false' topaz,
and Scotch topaz.
There is also a smoky gray version.
Citrine is found in Great Britain,
America,
Russia,
Madagascar
and Brazil.
Natural citrine is comparatively rare,
though it is available in rock shops
and from jewelers.
Check carefully when you buy this crystal,
as heat-treated amethyst
is sometimes passed off as citrine.
Citrine is considered extremely helpful
for healing
and self-development
and is even said to increase wealth.

X PHOENIX & THE JEWELS IN MY CROWN -carnelian



In Egyptian mythology the phoenix
was a beautiful lone bird
which lived in the Arabian desert
for 500 or 600 years
and then consumed itself in fire,
rising renewed from the ashes
to start another long life.
It is a symbol of immortality.
The barefoot Dr. Darren Weissman
of Infinite Love and Gratitude fame
and creator of the Lifeline writes
of symptoms as gifts
in strange wrapping paper.
Symptoms let you know that
it is time to let go,
get back on your path,
and shine your true colors
as you are Divinely designed.
Now, as with any gift,
embrace the symptom
and stress of your body and life
with love and gratitude
knowing that a part of you
is speaking as a means for you
to own your power.
[Inspired by Edgar Cayce's
SEARCH FOR GOD Book I]
How can I change materiality
to glorified spirituality
with divine love?
What can I do to weave Heaven
into Earth?
Am I in direct relationship
with the Creator?
Do I explore the possibilities
of bringing spiritual harmony
into physical vibration?
Do I demonstrate the oneness
of all force
through my service to others?
Have I let my sufferings become
lessons of wisdom?
Am I a clear channel
through which spiritual energy flows?
Am I making myself a fit channel
for passing the truth to others?
Do I realize I have created
situations that seem like trouble or problems
because I have not yet learned
to give complete expression
to my soul faculties?
If the real meaning of the crown
is the joy of completing a work
what jewels am I putting into
of my life's crown today
with the thoughts I think
the words I say
the tasks I find to do?
Do I open windows and doors
to the Divine for others
by weaving the spiritual
into my mental
and material /physical activities?
[Inspired by Mark Thurston's
EXPERIMENTS IN A SEARCH FOR GOD]
X-1: 1) Where do I feel trapped?
/What's a situation in my life
that makes me filled trapped?
2) What is the illusion/misconception
that has led me to this situation?
What karmic patterns in my
subconscious mind have brought
this situation to me?
(I look for signs
in my conscious insights
my intuitions
my dreams
or my meditation guidance.)
3) What is the reality that lies behind
this illusion or this difficult situation?
/What is the purposefulness
of my soul?
/How can I better accept this
situation in my life?
EXAMPLE:
SITUATION:
Having no friends
MISCONCEPTION:
Having close friends
means that I will be burdened
by responsibilities to them
and it's better to be without them
PURPOSEFULNESS OF SITUATION:
I am learning how much I really do want
to have people that I care about
and who care about me
ACCEPTANCE OF THE REALITY
THAT LIES BEHIND MY ILLUSIONS:
I will not blame others
for not having declared
their friendship for me,
but will work actively
to be a FRIEND to others
~~~
X-2: What is a troublesome situation
in my life?
How would the Masters
deal with this situation?
How can I act out in materiality
my Divine acceptance
of this situation?
Can I try to live and act
in the Divine way
towards this situation
for at least a week?
Who can I find to share this experiment with?
&/Am I willing to journal
my experiences?
~~~
X-3: Who is someone I share
a common ideal
or a common spiritual perspective of life with
and yet occasionally experience a difficulty
in our relationship?
1) How can I work on accepting
what I perceive as their shortcomings?
2) How can I truly meet that person
as a soul?
In her book KNOWING WOMAN
Irene Claremont de Castillejo
writes of meetings of an inner,
mystical nature
which can happen between two people
when they invite the presence of a third force:
Love/the Holy Spirit/the Self/the Other.
Having deeper experiences like this
leads us far beyond the common place
interactions we usually have in life
and becomes the crown
of what our human relationships can be.
~~~
X-4: We are more than we usually think we are.
We have a storehouse of strength and wisdom within
that is our birthright, and usually we deny it.
The demand of the Divine
is that we be who we really are.
Through suffering our inner resources
are mobilized
and we begin to wake up to our true nature.
What's one area of my life
that I am suffering in
physically?
emotionally?
/mentally?
Am I willing to write down
the inner resources
that MIGHT be available to me
as aids in overcoming
this condition?
Can I take time each day to consider
the possibility that I am suffering
so that I will become
Divinely aware
that these qualities
ARE within me?
Will I affirm each day
in prayer and meditation
that the needed inner resources
are becoming available to me?
~~~
X-5: What challenges do I face daily
that have been given
for my individual growth in consciousness?
What individual responsibilities
do I have to meet
based upon things I have built
in the past?
The illusions and misconceptions
that I have built
are very similar to those created
by others.
As I attune myself
and withdraw from my involvement
with these false notions of reality,
all of humankind is helped.
All humanity can be lifted in consciousness
through the growth of one.
Our attitudes and feelings
can quickly be altered
by the state of consciousness of another.
Resources of energy and strength
are available when the purpose
of some undertaking is to benefit others.
When we reach a point of frustration
with some problem,
such a move in perspective
can lead to a new sense of dignity
and purposefulness.
We can see ourselves as an integral
part of the whole.
Our lives are seen
for the special part
that they play
in the Divine plan
for humankind.
How can I meet
each one of my challenges
as if my work
is symbolic of all humanity's
attempt to deal with
this SPECIFIC type of difficulty?
Am I willing to record my experiences
of working with this attitude in mind?
~~~
X-6: I choose and write down
an area of my life
that I feel burdened in.
I list the ways I have to work
to feel this way
-the attitudes I have to work on holding
-the behaviors I have to do
to keep this feeling.
Then I select one item from my list
and write a more constructive
replacement attitude/behavior.
I work each day at least for a week
on expressing that replacement
in my life.
EXAMPLE:
BURDENED BY:
frequent arguments with Richard
ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS I WORK AT:
-make an effort to recall past incidences
where I thought he was selfish
-make an effort to feel resentful
-make an effort to speak unkindly
of him to others
REPLACEMENT:
begin to speak in a more positive way of him
to others
~~~
X-7: How can I meet confrontations
with an attitude of humility?
Am I willing not to defend myself
with retorts
/argumentative statements
even if I feel I am right?
Am I committed to keeping
a record of situations in which
I am able to meet confrontations
in this way?
~~~
X-8: In meeting life's troubles,
problems and difficulties with joy
because in opening these gifts
and using them as opportunities
to weave the Divine into my Earthwalk
I truly have the crown of life.
I wear it as a symbol
of my attunement with
the oneness of the Divine.
I wear a crown emblematic
of my mastery of myself.
Not only do I express joy to others
but I ENJOY BEING ALIVE.
How do I look for joy in living?
How do I express joy
in dealing with others?
How do I live with an attitude of enjoyment
of being alive in this place
in this special time
in humanity's spiritual evolution?

a clearing action
while directing any negative energy
which is within the area

IX IN THE PRESENCE OF THE DIVINE -orange calcite



How are my thoughts
my words
my activities
and my general outlook on life
motivated by my concept of the Divine?
Do I keep the presence of the Divine
as a thing apart?
Do I lose sight of the fact
that to abide in the presence of the Divine
can be the experience,
the knowledge
and the understanding
of all who seek to do the bidding
of the Divine?
How can I realize
and come to know
and understand
that I am a child of the Divine?
The Divine is Spirit,
standing back of everything in creation.
The Divine is One.
We cannot separate Creator
from Creator's creation.
I can try to do so,
but when I do
I become mystified
and confused.
When I separate myself
or think myself apart from
my Maker,
I feel like a ship
without a rudder.
The oneness is ever existent,
but it is only through
my realization
and my acknowledgement
of Divine's existence
that the change is worked in me,
and life takes on a new aspect.
All the guidance
help
supply
joy
peace
and whatever goes
to make life worth living
is within me.
Each spirit,
each manifestation
moves toward
the knowledge
the understanding
and the conception
of that One
-the All One.
*Am I willing to listen
to the still small voice within
and know the Divine
is within me
so that I may come
to the realization
that I am one
with the Divine?
It is within my human soul,
the simplest unit of the Divine
that I will find the Divine abiding.
Sensing the presence of the Divine
within and without,
I become quiet,
throwing off anxiety,
I am conscious
of a renewing power.
The spirit of the Divine
speaks through my soul
utilizing the soul forces.
*Am I willing
to study and meditate
until I realize
what attitude I hold
concerning the presence
of the Divine?
I take the Divine's word
and accept the free gift of
grace
love
and mercy.
I do not obscure
the knowledge of the Divine presence
by considering it as a thing apart.
I do not quench the spirit within.
As the Divine spirit
bears witness with my spirit,
not only will I understand
myself better,
but there will come
a fuller understanding of
my neighbor,
my friend
or my enemy.
As I go fearlessly
on into whatever work is before me,
I trust in Divine care,
knowing that Divine presence
will overshadow me.
The Light will shine ahead
and show the way.
The Divine will keep
my stumbling feet from faltering
and will allow no harm
to overtake me.
*How may I live each moment
aware of Divine presence
and let my work
testify for me?
As I magnify myself less and less
and seek more hope and reliance
in the will of the Divine
I will become
more and more aware
of the Divine's abiding presence.
All who would know the Divine
must believe that the DivIne is,
and that the Divine is a rewarder
of those who diligently seek the Divine.
How often have I read
"the Lord is my Shepherd"
and doubted the truth of it
as applying to me.
By submitting my will to divine guidance
I come step by step into the realization
that the Divine will withhold
no good thing
from those who seek the Divine
who seek to do Divine will.
*How can I prepare myself?
1) Do I observe
the laws of righteous judgment
and clean living?
2) Do I keep special hours for
meditation and prayer
so that I may be strengthened
during times of severe temptation
and trials?
3) Do I realize
that the Divine is ever with me,
whether I am in sorrow or joy
because my mind is the builder?
4) Do I practice such standards of conduct
that others may know that
what I profess with my lips
to believe
is in keeping with
what I hold as my ideal?
Am I a loving example
of what I profess to be true?
[Note: The realization that I am
ever in Divine presence
is not always easy
when I allow the cares of the world
to creep in and draw me away
in body and mind.
As we are in various states of growth,
so we are in different states of
consciousness.
What might be absolutely necessary
for the preparation of self for me,
for another might be secondary.]
As I abide in Divine presence,
even though there may come
trials of every kind
and tears may flow
from the breaking up
of the carnal forces within,
my spirit is made glad.
Let me remember that
physically
mentally
and spiritually
I am continually reflecting
my understanding of Divine presence.
*Can I study to show myself
approved unto the Divine day by day
for in doing so the light of the Divine
presence shows forth
in my precepts
in my examples
in my words
and in my works?
When I look upon my fellow humans,
I find their activities,
in whatever sphere they may be,
are expressions of the attitudes
they have builded regarding the Divine.
Their life reflects what they worship.
Their actions show the spirit which is
within them.
In the physical body,
good health is a reflection
of my observance of physical laws.
Even the small details
involving the care of my body
are important,
for they are either
in accord with laws that bring
a finer type of expression
or they lead to inharmony.
My physical surroundings
the type of companions I seek
and every one of my physical actions
expresses to others
my concept of how near
the Divine
law
and love
are to me.
The activities of my mind
reflect the strength of my mental body.
The question of controlling
my actions physically
is in part answered
by the rules of my family upbringing
and the laws and customs
of my community
culture
and country.
The problems I have
controlling my thoughts
which may truly be
just as harmful
and out of tune with the infinite
are personal matters
I must meet as an individual
and others must meet individually themselves.
My thought vibrations go out
my words are spoken
my deeds are done
and they all carry to others my influences
and impressions
of my understanding
of the Divine.
*How spiritual is my life?
-How often do I seek
through meditation and prayer
contact with my creator?
-Do my attitude
and my philosophy of life
center about a spiritual ideal?
Others look for these signs
and are influenced by them.
I believe
but do I express my belief in my
words
thoughts
deeds
and attitudes?
The consciousness that the Divine
walks and talks with me
and that the Divine's promises
are ever present
brings abiding peace.
This makes for joy in service
even though it requires that there be
greater and greater sacrifices
of carnal forces
within my experiences.
Joy does not come through service
that benefits self.
One that serves through kind
words
thoughts
/deeds
gives of oneself
even as the Divine
/the Powers That Be
/the Masters.
With the realization of being in
Divine presence
comes that peace
which casts out all fear and loneliness.
There comes a feeling
of being a part of
the scheme of things.
This is recognizing
the Divine in me
as well as without.
With this realization the way is easier.
I will have more consideration for others.
Condemnation will be cast aside
and I will have a desire to bless.
The protection of the Holy Spirit
is the Divine's promise
if I am faithful.
As I use what I know,
not waiting for physical results
before going to the next step,
I will find-
when I least expect it-
that which I desire
has been granted.
As a child in faith
knowledge
and understanding
I have to be delight
and disciplined
until I
through love
discipline
and faith
come to understand the divine law.
The kingdom is mine
only when I learn
through patience
to possess my soul
My awareness of the great need
of Divine presence
will make me more conscious of it.
In the Divine/ the Powers That Be,
I do, indeed,
live
and move
and have my being.
Each thought
word
and act
is an opportunity
to advertise
Divine presence.
Let me be
an advertisement
for the Divine.
Let the Spirit within /the Presence within
do the work
through me
so that I might deliver a message
of helpfulness
inspiration
and power
that is Divinely inspired.
It is only when I forget the Divine
/the Powers That Be
that troubles overtake me.
If I today
at this time of testing
would place my hope of deliverance
in the hands of the Divine
instead of humankind,
I could not fail
to come out more than conqueror.
There is within me
a knowledge that the Divine presence
abides within me always
as part of me,
not apart from me.
Through the toil of the day
through the quiet hours of the night,
the Divine is always near.
When burdens of the material life
are heavy,
if i stop and listen,
the Divine assures me
that S/He is with me.
The Maker
who wrought the beauties of nature
amd set the laws which govern
the harmonious symphony of the universe
could not have left a part of Divine creation
without guidance
or without a sustaining force.
Jesus, Buddha and other Masters
have shown us the way.
There are Universal Forces
/Powers That Be
ever ready to aid and strengthen
those who seek to travel this way.
Let the Spirit of Truth that is within
separate the chaff from the wheat
that I may enter into
the full knowledge of Divine presence
and shut out those things
that would hinder
or cause doubt
or in any way make me afraid.
(paraphrased Cayce reading 232-32)
Let this be my prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
may thy kingdom come
in Earth
through Thy presence in me,
that the light of Thy word
may shine onto those I meet day by day.
May Thy presence in my brother
be such that I may glorify Thee.
May I so conduct my own life
that others may know Thy presence
abides with me
and thus glorify Thee.
(Cayce reading 262-30)
Come! Let our hearts be lifted
in praise and adoration
of the wondrous love
that the Father sheds upon
the children of me.
Come! Let us all be glad
in the opportunities
that are given
to serve in His name
day by day.
Come! Let us be joyful
in the truth that
"In as much as ye did it
unto the least of my little ones,
ye did it unto me."
Let the love of the Son be magnified
in our lives that others may know
the joyousness of service brings
peace and harmony to our hearts
as we serve.
Come! Give thanks unto Him,
for we would make our own lives
and our own bodies a dweliing place
of the love that the Father
would manifest into His children.
Come! Give place to His Holy Name
that there may come joyousness
in the hearts of all at the coming
of the Christ into the lives and
the experiences of many.
(Cayce reading 281-14)

a part pf the scheme of things
and I try to hold that awareness
in my daily activities.
~ ~ ~
I imagine myself out-of-doors
in a huge expanse of land.
There is much activity going on
-building.
It is as if all humankind
has gathered together
to build one great cathedral
where all can come to worship
and know the Divine/ God
Each individual is to cut
and place one stone
in this great effort.
There is no race to see
who can do the most work
because each person
is to contribute
only her/his one stone.
I walk to a giant quarry
with my tools in my hands
and mark off the stone
that I will cut.
With the greatest care
and precision
I cut my stone.
It's sides are polished smooth.
It symbolized the wholeness
and live within my soul.
With feelings of anticipation
and joy,
I pick up my stone.
I have super-human strength
and carrying it is not difficult.
I begin my walk toward
the building site.
All around me are others
carrying their stones.
Tremendous feelings of family,
sisterhood and brotherhood
fill my heart and mind.
All of the people are walking together
with cooperation and joy.
All sense the beauty of
what we are creating together.
I arrive at the building site
and I find the exact spot
where my stone is needed.
With great care I put it in place.
Then I sit down and have
a brief period of prayer.
I pray that Divine will
shall direct this common effort
of all humankind.
And I pray that all will come
to the full awareness of Divine presence.

1976 Reverie)

The wagon and me at rest in August


Here's a picture of me on the gypsywagon porch
when I was reading Steven Pressfield's
THE WAR OF ART:
BREAK THROUGH THE BLOCKS
AND WIN YOUR INNER CREATIVE BATTLES.
Below is a copy of an e-mail message I sent to my friends:
A Dream And A Miracle
DEAR! Friends-
I woke up from this dream around noon today:
(I went to sleep after the sun came up)
Tuesday August 23, 2011
I awaken from a dream in which
I am explaining to Dr. Justin
how I have my days & nites mixed up sleepwise.
I say it in a disgusted tone,
aggravated with myself.
Then I realize how different my attitude
is from how a good parent feels
when they have to wake up during the night
to feed a newborn baby.
Here I am birthing a new self
re: after Josh & Harm & Granddad's deaths
and having no TO DO list
and instead of doing it with the love
I feel about a newborn baby
I've been doing it from a Woe! is me!
Poor Pitiful Pearl Place
saying I'm lost in the woods.
I've been doing it from a mind set of
diminishing ...'s of infinite possibilities
in my hope for the future.
From a place of despair.
Instead of being joyful
and excited about birthing a new me.
I've been depressed
and low pot about feeling like
I'm on a slide in a deep dark cave
headed toward death
in a freefall
over which I have no control.
The moral of this story is:
I can change my attitude
and perspective
and look at this as an OPPORTUNITY
to celebrate birthing a new me
in this world of living.
I don't want to be living death.
I want to be living life to its juciest
before I get to be born out of this world
& into the next one.
I took this as one of those Aha! moments
that can turn your life around.
After being stuck in a deep dark depression
that started the day I put Jan's cross up
@ the site of Josh's accident on July 1st.
A dream came & I remembered it
& its message seemed to speak right to my heart
& something in it helped me get over myself
& feel like I'm back on my path with heart.
I went to see Dr. Justin this afternoon
-he's the chiropractor that saw Harm for free.
He did a lot of tests, took x-rays
& gave me treatments.
So far the bloodwork for Dr Bill
they took last Wed hasn't come back in.
I came home, ate some salad & watermelon
& sat in the sun in the front yard
until it was time to go to an essential oil class
out @ Charlotte's Healing Acres.
When I got home I put ice on my arm & back
per Dr Justin's instructions
then I came upstairs
& applied Abundance essential oil to my hips
as he asked me to do
(not so much for $
as to attract good into my life).
After all of that I finally got around to
playing my flute
& finishing my morning meditation stuff.
Get this
the ESSENE BOOK OF DAYS reading
for today said:
SEASONAL FOCUS: The bountiful harvest is gathered
MORNING FOCUS: The angel of Joy
OPENING: Before the reading,
meditate on the image
of a newborn child,
looking out at the
world in awe.
Experience your newness.
MEDITATION: This day lies before me,
a newborn child.
What shall this child experience
As it grows from day to night,
From new to old?
Will it be a clone of yesterday's child
And of the day before?
Or is there newness in this day
To match the newness of a child?
Is there joy awaiting
to match the joy of expectation
Twinkling in this newborn eye?
I am the child;
The choice is mine.
~~~
Wow! I feel like you do
when you draw a tarot card
& it's just the right one with the message
you need to hear.
Tell me there aren't angels & spirit guides
watching out over us-
I won't believe you!
I felt the Divine was @ work in my life today!!!
~~~
Since then I have been going to see
my chiropractor Dr. Justin
and my regular Dr Bill
called me on a Saturday
to tell me the results from my bloodwork
were all okay.
I've even started on bi-weekly visits
to my friend Jennifer @ Healing Hands
for the delightful experience
of Thai yoga massage.
All of this to say I've turned a corner
and while I may not be outta the woods yet
I feel like I am back on my path with heart.
I know some of you may be going through
your own dark nights of the soul
so I reach out to touch you across the miles
in hopes we may share communion together
and feel nurtured and nourished
by sharing our stories.
All ways us living
Love,
Light,
& Laughter,
Ms. Susan

WATER/ANCIENT MYSTERIES/CUPS/EMOTIONS/SEAGLASS 12



Is it my destiny to become
an eternal companion
and co-creator with God?
~~~
(inspired by Edgar Cayce's ARE's
ANCIENT MYSTERIES October/November 2008)

WATER/ANCIENT MYSTERIES/CUPS/EMOTIONS/SEAGLASS 11



Job 38:7
When the morning stars
sang together
and all of the sons of God
shouted for joy.
~~~
Our souls were in their divine condition
prior to becoming incarnate humans.
A part of each of us
is a star in the heavens.
~~~
What do I do
to cleanse and spiritualize
my human body
so that I may journey
to follow the enlightenment
of my human mind?
~~~
How do I retain my delicate
conscious connection
to the Universal Consciousness and Forces?
~~~
(inspired by Edgar Cayce's ARE's
ANCIENT MYSTERIES August/September 2008)

WATER/ANCIENT MYSTERIES/CUPS/EMOTIONS/SEAGLASS 10



My soul has both masculine and
feminine within itself.
~~~
Where am I in relationship
to the 4 Principles of the Way?
1-Oneness
2-Dynamic Balance
3-Cycles and Growth
4-Harmoniuos Action
~~~
Do I see beyond appearances
to how all life exists in oneness
as a whole?
~~~
How do I maintain balance
between the inner and the outer?
between the dark and the light?
between the action and non-action?
in my daily living
in the ever-changing world?
~~~
Have I stopped striving with my will?
~~~
Do I flow with the Way
in harmonious action?
~~~

What do I know about the kundalini energy
that flows through the chakra centers
of my physical body?
~~~
How do I honor the elan vital
of all life?
in myself?
and others?
~~~
(inspired by Edgar Cayce's ARE's
ANCIENT MYSTERIES June/July 2008)

WATER/ANCIENT MYSTERIES/CUPS/EMOTIONS/SEAGLASS 8



There was an INVOLUTION into matter.
Prior to the evolution
we were once CELESTIAL BEINGS.
Prior to the evolution of matter
there was an INVOLUTION into matter
from the realms of energy.
The energy beings
gradually converted themselves
into matter.
And in the future
they will transform
their matter back into energy.
~~~
What relationship do I have with
my physical body?
~~~
What connection do I have with
my spirit?
~~~
What relationship do I have with
my soul?
~~~
How do I honor the spiritual
divine spark within my being?
~~~
