"The whole secret of existence
is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only
the moment you reject all help are you freed."
- Buddha.
Angel Card: Harmony.
Use your power to maintain and
restore harmony. There can be no harmony without light. That is the ultimate
truth. People cannot afford to ignore the Divine. If they do then the dark
shadow moves in and seeks to devour all the tiny sparks - the people who should
be on their way to becoming gods but who are, instead, reverting to being
little sparks or embers living in darkness.
If you stay, you can try to pay off
your debts. Dig your heels in. Live in the dark world but as Light reminding it
of the power and glory of Divine Being. To be a sun, you can’t hide away
exclusively in a world of Light. You must shine your light in an environment of
darkness; illumine the darkness, not cave in and lose your light. Channel and
become MORE Light. Don’t diminish and lose it and become less! More yang, more
Light.
That guy upstairs - ‘Pigsy monster’
- senses you have power, and that’s why he thinks you’re fair game. He also
resents your special qualities, your class and unique style, associating them
with some cultural privilege or something (although, if that were true, why
would I have ended up in a ghetto? - alas, it is all he understands). But if
you don’t express power the same way - you defeat him. You win. Because it is a
different - and greater - power.
“He who is afraid of a thing gives
it power over him.” - Moorish Proverb.
~Be a Light in the Darkness~
Don’t be intimidated. Your power of
Light is greater than his power of darkness and you can shine it at any time,
not just when you meet.
The dark forces use such people to
intimidate the vulnerable and nervous, the sensitive and shy, spreading fear
and anxiety, negativity.
You must avoid negativity in
yourself and respond to darkness with increasing light. This is the way to
strengthen and increase your light. In a sense - or ultimately - you need the
darkness so you can shine your light and illumine it. Light likes an object to
shine on to.
“In the
practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher.” – The Dalai Lama.
The best thing to do is
believe/express yourself as if Pigsy is a reformed character, as if he has shed
the darkness and is reborn, filled with sweetness and love. Deny the darkness
that ‘was’ in him. Forget it - do not
think of it and do not refer to it. Treat him only as if he is a welcome
student of Light, of the spiritual way.
The darkness will hate that - if you
forget and leave behind your fear and anxiety, and think Pigsy as only being
sweet and loving. Plus - heal his soul; try to bring peace to his inner traumas
from childhood. He needs healing. You don’t have to mention the episode to the
landlord. Always speak to - and of - him as if he is kind-hearted. It will
nourish the good part of him and make it harder for him to deny it. Remind him
of the love and light within him. Smile and show that happiness is a result of
Light, not negative energy, drink and darkness. ‘Address the Higher Self in
others,’ as Master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov puts it.
“Happiness is a by-product of an
effort to make someone else happy.” - Gretta Brooker Palmer.
‘Love doesn’t want.’
“‘When the time is at hand thy mind
will be prepared, and the way will open before ye so that ye shall know of a
surety that the hour hath struck.
‘But
for the present, I would, my son, that ye attend to the necessary preparation,
for ye must be at all points protected, for the enemy is watchful and lieth in
wait to catch ye unawares. In the battle that is before ye there is no retreat,
and once the banner hath been raised ye must follow thy Lord even though he
lead thee to the gate of hell. For the powers of evil are arrayed against such
as defy them and those who would rob them of their prey; and none know the
extremity of suffering which they can inflict save those who have passed
through the valley of humiliation.”

Retrospective
inserts.
God allows us all to be who we are
within our capabilities and to choose to evolve or not to evolve. So, we share
a planetary and galactic environment in which to express ourselves and learn.
And, so, perhaps we need the dark entities in order to grow and express more of
our power and Light as individual beings. On Earth, we have free will, and we
have our karma from the misuse of same. Then, we’re on our own, just as the
seed must grow through struggle to put down the roots of strength and wisdom in
order to rise above the soil and find the Light within. So, individually and
collectively, we have this jungle in which to live, survive and grow. In a
garden, the seeds struggle against weeds but, also, other plants and even trees
have to demonstrate their strength and require assistance from those who want
to protect them from the weeds and vines. It appears that the conflict between
Light and dark exists on many levels beyond our human dimension on Earth.
“Fear is like darkness. What can you
do about darkness directly? You cannot drop it, you cannot throw it out, you cannot
bring it in. There is no way to relate with darkness without bringing light in.
The way to darkness goes via light. If you want darkness, put the light off; if
you don't want darkness, put the light on. But you will have to do something
with light, not with darkness at all.
The
same is true about love and fear: love is light, fear is darkness. The person
who becomes obsessed with fear will never be able to resolve the problem. It is
like wrestling with darkness - you are bound to be exhausted sooner or later,
tired and defeated. And the miracle is, defeated by something which is not
there at all! And when one is defeated, one certainly feels how powerful the
darkness is, how powerful the fear is, how powerful the ignorance is, how
powerful the unconscious is. They are not powerful at all - they don't exist in
the first place...
Hence,
Atta, the first thing to remember is: don't make a problem out of fear.
Love
is the question. Something can be done about love immediately; there is no need
to wait or postpone. Start loving! And it is a natural gift from God to you, or
from the whole, whichever term you like...
Remember,
love is born with you; it is your intrinsic quality. All that is needed is to
give it a way - to make a passage for it, to let it flow, to allow it to
happen. We are all blocking it, holding it back.”

“A Lebanese sage wrote about karma
in these terms: ‘Man invites his own calamities and then protects against the
irksome guests, having forgotten how, and when, and where he penned and sent
out the invitations. Time does not forget, and Time delivers in due season each
invitation to the right address, and Time conducts each invite to the dwelling of the
host.’” - Raynor C. Johnson (Light of All
Life, p.23).
“Everybody, soon
or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.” - Robert Louis Stevenson.
“‘For the
fruits of evil thought
are made manifest to ye during the days of thy struggle, and ye must meet and
fight the phantoms which thy mind hath created in hours of weakness or fleshly
pride before ye can set thy feet upon the starlit path. But the delicate
wraiths of beauty and of purity which have issued forth when thy mind soared
toward Eternal Truth, await the time of the final dissolution of the outward
frame; and gather round the soul, adorning the ascension, and heralding the
approach to the Kingdom of the Unbegotten.’” – St. Francis (The Shining Brother. Recording the spirit
return of St. Francis of Assisi and its sequel Francis Speaks Again by Laurence Temple, Psychic Press, London, U.K.,
1941, p.189).
“The only thing that can help is
going deeper into yourself, realising the inner sky, and the freedom that comes
with it, and the fragrance of the beyond…And, obviously, most of the people
live life in such a way that it creates more and more misery. The whole
programming of humanity is for
misery. So, one starts thinking, ‘How to get out of the circle of life and
death?’ That is not really going to help. You have to learn to get out of the
programming the society has given to you. Once you are out of that programming,
you are out of birth and death and the so-called circle. But, feeling
miserable, he may have thought it is better to get out of birth and death.” –

“Now please pause and take several deep breaths...for even the word fear
can trigger apprehension in your emotional body whereas breathing can relax
that condition and is always your ally in any emotive circumstance.” - Jeshua (‘The

CA., U.S., 1986, updated 1994, p.234).

person who loves you a
chance to love you enough.” - Dinah Shore.
Play: ‘Life After You’ by Chris Daughtry
(song from 2009). Not sure I’ve ever heard it personally but I had a quote here
about laughter which I have removed to save myself the license fee (I don’t
have) for reproducing a line or two of lyrics from a song…stupid, patriarchal,
controlling nonsense that I deem this act of sabotage to be!
“One has to
become more and more alive, full of zest, gusto, intensity. One should not
withhold. When you are full of life love starts happening on its own accord,
because what you will do with life, what you will do with that overflowing
energy? You will have to share it - that’s what love is: sharing of your life
energy. And the moment you share your life energy all sadness disappears, then
life is just a heartfelt laughter.” – Osho (www.oshoquotes.net/category/osho-quotes-on-sadness).
