Happy New Year and welcome to the Awakening!!
This months card reading is from the oracle deck by artist Outi Harma, Venus Rising - Oracle Deck For The Wild Feminine. You can find out more about the Artist and Card Creator HERE
Our first card is Know Your Inner Landscape - At this time of our awakening process, it is so important that we let go of the outer influences and begin to lean into our inner wisdom. Everything around us seems to be crumbling, the matrix is glitching, the old ways no longer work. For us to get through this great change, we must shift our power from giving it to the outer, and find it within us again.
Prayer and meditation go a long way to support this, but it is time to go deeper. To find that deep connection to the mystery, the void, the multi-dimensional aspect of who we are. We must find a deep connection to God. In whatever way you understand him/her/they.
The great teacher and metaphysician, Yeshua Ben Joseph aka Jesus, told us that “The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Within”. Yeshua healed the sick, raised people from the dead, defied the tyrannical religions and taught the people of the great mysteries.
The great Buddha told us that non attachment is the middle pillar and the way to inner peace. He was the very presence of inner connection and awareness of the God within.
Swami Sathya Sai Baba tells us that he accepts and knows that God is within him, and he went out and did great healings. As did Paramahansa Yogananda, who brought the teachings from the Eastern cultures to our Western world.
This guidance to become familiar, and even fully immersed in our inner wisdom, is not a new thing. It has always been one of the most available inner mystery teaching. But isn’t something many take the time to cultivate. And many religions have tried to hide this wisdom. But it is everywhere in all of the teachings, when one “has the ears to hear”.
Now, at the dawn of this new age, we can no longer ignore the wisdom of the great teachers of the past, or the wisdom of our current teachers, who’ve spent their lives sharing this good news!! Listen. Find time to listen to your inner voice. This is a beautiful form of meditation… simply listening to yourself. Listen to your thoughts that come up. Listen to whats going on around you. Listen to thoughts that come up to distract you. Listen to the quiet that comes when you’ve paid attention to all the above. You might find the inner voice, that has been ignored for so long has finally had its due, a gentle quiet begins to fill the mind, and seep into the soul. Thats where you find God. Within.
Our Second Card is Create Beauty - What a perfect card to come after Know Your Inner Landscape!! This is the natural progression as we connect deeply with our inner landscape….. we begin to create beauty. We see the beauty in everything. We become more heart centered, more present, more in love with life and we begin to see how everything is connected. We begin to dance on the edges of Oneness.
In the awareness that we are all connected, we find that everything we do is beautiful. We create beauty in every moment. We begin to see everything as beautiful. We find the interconnectedness io eternity and realize it is all a part of the great web of Love that this presence we call God created for us to live and move and have its being. God creating through you. God expressing through you. God is within. God is Love. Love is You. Its a beautiful web of life and light and love that is the truth of creation. and it is beautiful.
When this awareness dawns on our weary souls, we feel refreshed, renewed, dare I say Born Again? Is that what that saying really means? Find God within? Become a part of the great Oneness that is? I think so.
And from this, the natural creative nature of God works through forms of expression like painting, drawing, dancing, music, playing, relaxing, loving and simply Being.
You are creating beauty by knowing your inner landscape.
You are so Beautiful!
