Balance Cochroaches and Dolphins

If you are an Animal Card addict as I am, whip out those cards and get some information from the animal king/queendom spirit world. There are other cards that do similar things, such as Angel, Tarot, and Witches. But the animals speak to the inner, wild child side. They are my preference.

Recently, I posed the question of who was leading me toward my next life phase: empty nest in June with the graduation of my youngest son. And, I wanted to know who was going to guide me after he left. The animals I plucked from the deck were the weasel and the owl. Both were similar in that most help others by revealing what is happening 'behind the scenes'.

I took this to mean that I should be revealing, through intuition and reading news stories based on facts, what is really going on in in life. But I thought this must be telling people the grimy, crappy, hidden cochroaches that lurk in the dark crevices of our homes, thoughts, and political world.

This didn't sound like fun. Not part of the joyous mindset that makes me feel giddy inside.

Well, recently I decided to branch out. After over a decade of relying on Animal Cards, I crossed over and tried something new. Kind of like bipartisan senators working together. Risque, I know.

Picked me up a pack of Dolphin and Mermaid cards. To these I posed another question. How do I move more quickly into my dream life? You know the one: independent wealth, oodles of friends, perfect-for-us love relationship, health, joy, kids doing the wonderfully.

These new cards tell me to go on a Positive Diet; focus on positive stuff, only. Do not watch violent movies, stay away from negativity including: people, situations, gossip. Spread and interact only with positive energy. Laugh away my days. Skip to lakes and feed the ducks while spreading rose petals.

But wait a cotton-pickin' minute. The weasel and owl say to reveal, reveal, reveal. Doesn't that mean expose the negative?

Which cards to follow? This was beyond my feather fluffed brain power. What did I do, you wisely ask? Meditation to the rescue. I got the inside scoop (blessed be that inner voice).

How to balance the two?

Reveal the good underlying the bad. Show people that they are fundamentally good. Rather than tell someone they are doing a bad thing, tell them you know they can do better. Love is what is really under every rock. And on top, on the side, even inside.

Be creative in finding the good.Then shout it out for the world to hear. Be the Loudspeaker of Peace. Now that makes me feel quivery all over. Let's do it together.

Want another way to reveal goodness? Show a child the joy of laughter. Grab a book from the oh-so-funny boy with the the elephant living in his backyard:

Scout and Ellie series for kids. More joy for the world.

Skate To Peace

Fear and ignorance.They keep us from peace.

The oligarchy that has been slowly undermining our democracy, destroying institutions bent on helping people, and virtually enslaving minorities via prisons, is ruled by fear and ignorance.
The fear is that people will figure out what is going on and will stand together to push them away. Ignorance is not being aware that people are more good than greedy; love is the powerhouse.

There is an active, well-moneyed group of people driving wedges between us. Any focus that can be used to make us think we are more out of alignment is exploited. The drive is on to separate us from our commonalities.

In my Economics classes in college, we were taught the Law of the Commons. That a common area, such as a park or community garden would not be kept up if not for strict enforcements. That it would soon fall into pollution, trash, neglect, vandalism. I believe this to be true when money is involved, especially corporations. But with groups of people directly affected, the Law slips away.

In San Diego, for instance, there was a skate board park frequented by my boys. At first, the City managed it. They hired people to clean it, make sure that skaters were behaving, and that rules were followed. After a few years, the City stopped managing it. Skaters were left on their own. The result? The users kept it clean. Older kids watched out for younger ones to make sure they were safe, and allowed time in the 'bowl'. Vandalism was never seen. The skaters recognized the value of what they had, and took care of it. Completely opposite to the concepts taught in college.

This is one example, but there are countless others. From thriving community gardens, to neighborhood watch programs, there are people everywhere who actively participate in creating and caring for Common Areas. Just looking at the generally peaceful neighborhood parks is proof. While there are always people who leave a mess, or disrupt with violence, the majority of the time, peace prevails.

I've been feeling like we are on the teeter-totter of progress to peace versus polarizing segregation. Today, I was remembering Bernie Sanders. His way is to lead through a love of humanity. More people supported him than Trump. Supporters came out in a surprise tsunami. It was a revelation that there are more people ready for a better world than there are wanting to resort to fear.

It was the institutions that knocked him over. Not the people.

From a spiritual view, I believe he lost so that we can grow stronger in our desire to move forward to the vibrational rising of the New Earth. Every comfort zone that we thought guaranteed is being attacked. Safety nets are plucking away. Top government, CEOs, and corporations are in a race to feed their greed.

Also, the segregating lies of white supremacy is making itself known. If not for their exposures, many of us would not have known how pervasive it is in the U.S., myself included.

Several years ago, I had the fortune to make the acquaintance of a Muslim neighbor. She was an extraordinarily kind woman who wore a head scarf. I was shocked to learn that she was habitually spit upon while walking in public. This was in San Diego, California, a place that I had believed was progressive and full of co-existing citizens. The city, and many more, had a dark side that Trump exposed.

What is occurring today does not mean it is time to give up. There are more people in the world than ever before who want a better, more supportive, peaceful, loving world. Keep your attention, actions and thoughts centered on what most of us want. Love ALWAYS prevails.
