Introduction

A MotherPeace Tarot Reading to Jump Start Your Spring: Part Two

Click for larger image

This MotherPeace Tarot reading to jump-start your Spring: Part two has a very different vibe from last week’s Part One. I’ve looked forward to meditating on the intention that the reading will reveal an inspired entry into a new beginning. Let’s dive in.

Significator – Shaman of Discs

In Tarot, the Shamans have ‘mastered their element.’ The Shaman of Discs points to the Mastery of the Earth Plane and mirrors what is essential on the eve of Spring 2023. This makes so much sense, doesn’t it?

This Shaman beckons us to set an Equinox intention to apply our wisdom via practical creativity. Spring is an excellent time to write down the purest wisdom gems you’ve gleaned in your lifetime.

With this Significator, bringing your wisdom to life to serve humanity in a way you love is the ideal. There’s never been a better time to get started and dream big than right now.

Present – Priestess of Cups

The Priestess of Cups reflects our richness and depth of being and communicates our deepest heart’s desire when we listen carefully to our body’s wisdom. Cultivating our intuitive understanding expands our capacity for seeing true.

If we call out or bump into trauma in our deep on the way to inner Grace, it’s okay, and we’re okay. We can rest, breathe, relax, feel, and move forward when ready.

Integrator – Four of Cups

I always think of the Four of Cups image as possibly making a mountain out of a molehill. The person in the picture is crossing a little stream–inlet off the coast.

Contrary to an occasional fear that a tsunami could inundate her, she keeps moving. If we cultivate our wisdom and explore the rebirth of a new chapter of our lives, even when lesser thoughts and feelings arise, the best within us also unfolds.

Unconscious – Shaman of Swords

The Shaman of Swords points to healing our wounds – in Balance.   How to tell when they come up is when we get “triggered” by something or someone.

Our job is to find out what feels stuck in the body, tune in, listen, accept, release, and heal. We can look forward to many releases and clearings this way over the next six months. The harvest will be worth the work!

The Past – Five of Wands

What’s passing in this reading is rage and anger. We’ve seen so much of it these past few years between those divided. How long will it be before we put our swords down and find the spirit of genuine cooperation to build our future?

This reading has us on a hilly ride, but all is well. My life here is filled daily with hummingbirds, and they always remind us to focus on the nectar in life to help us remember the joy that is everywhere if we’re looking for it.

Conscious Mind – Nine of Wands

This card and position tell us we’re on the right track and to keep going. The energy moves through us, lifting our vibration, sense of connection, and awareness of our Divinity. We understand we are unified with something greater than our individual body-minds, and remembering this more and more consistently is necessary to our well-being and the crystallization of our inner Self.

Near Future – Judgment

When I picked up my first MotherPeace deck, this became my favorite card, and I painted a giant poster of it, framed it, and hung it on my bedroom wall.

For me, it is a beautiful vision of the future. The White Light of Christ or Love Consciousness floats in the center of an Ankh over our World Dream and divides into a full spectrum of color, creating an apparent “more than one” manifestation. Like us, though, it is all part of the White Light or Oneness that Connects us all as one.

I also love that it is with the so-called Judgment Day of the Tarot when we find out there isn’t any Judgment. The idea aligns with what Near Death Experiencers who had “life reviews” have to say on the subject.

“We judge ourselves on how we treat others and make amends from the point of view of expanded vision to the extent necessary for the ultimate understanding of our lives just lived.”

Y/Our Perspective – Priestess of Discs

We’re holding a vision of the future in this card. The Priestess here seeks her dream to manifest while also grounded as she sits on a blanket on the Earth. Like her, we feel protective of those we love, especially our children, and creations that “grow corn or that we can carry in a wheelbarrow,” something of substance.

Visions are useless without the power to manifest them, and power without vision, well, we all know where that gets us. We also see the need for nurturing our wisdom gems as guided earlier in the reading. Our perspective matches the incoming guidance. Always a relief.

Love or Fear – Eight of Wands

We can only serve one master at a time. We’re asked to make it Love, not fear.

We want to move ahead and our passion for being, seeing and doing our best is afire.

As we look at Cupid’s arrows of passion flying through the air, we are reminded yet again to focus on finding the direction of our best dreams and desires and moving toward them.

Guidance Message – Death

Pluto is said to be the planetary ruler of this card of transformation and rebirth, and we can see signs of it all around us. Humanity is still steeping in the rippling effects of the United States Pluto Return, which hits exactly once again in August for the last time, and leaves the exact degree in the birth chart at the end of October.

The coming new year of 2024 signifies that, on some level felt by all, our collective shadows will have been faced. Like the phoenix, we rise out of the ashes, born anew, graced with the Eagle Vision of the Shaman in our Significator.

Pluto also tells us to do our research. There are so many wide varieties of perspectives about spirituality, healthcare, education, science, society, politics, etc., that it behooves us to look into our beliefs and those of the opposite to find a bridge for unity that can be shared.

Outcome – Justice

Justice took me the longest of all the cards to understand or “grok.” Years. We have arrived at a most critical new beginning this Spring. It may be the most important ever and certainly the most important to date.

Divine Justice reflects what brings Balance and how Grace is the ultimate prize within all karma. Grace itself means unmerited reward. Indeed, none of us are here without karma, trauma, issues, or some shadowy projections. What if we relax, expand, and free all that? And keep looking to that which will set us free?

Conclusion

This paragraph concludes this week’s MotherPeace Tarot Reading to jump-start your Spring: Part Two. I hope you found something worthwhile in it. Please consider forwarding it to those you sense could use it, or leave a comment to share your sentiments. Thank you.

Love and Wishing You with Spring in your Step,
Kaye

A Zen Tarot Reading for the End of Winter

A Zen Tarot Reading for the End of Winter

by | Mar 11, 2023 | Astrology, Love Consciousness, Spirituality, Tarot

Introduction

Over the years, when I observed New Year’s Resolutions fall by the wayside for most who make them, including me, I decided to look into it a little deeper. I gave myself a Zen Tarot Reading for the end of winter, just before the Solstice to see what it might reveal. (See reading below)

A Zen Tarot Reading for the End of Winter

Click on image to enlarge

The reading portrayed winter as our year’s end, and the upcoming spring best for new beginnings. From that time on, Larry and I began in earnest starting our New Year in the spring, and specifically on the second quarter Moon about a week after the Aries New Moon. It has really worked out well for us.

I thought you might like to try this approach this year, starting with a similar reading, and see for yourself how ending your old year, and beginning your New Year in harmony with spring’s new beginnings can make a difference.  This week’s reading is part one on reflecting over this past year, and letting go or “emptying our cup,” so that it may be filled with spring’s new beginnings.

Next week’s blog reading, Part Two, will offer pointers for beginning your natural New Year, which officially begins on the Equinox (March 20). (For further details and for planning, check out our Go With the Flow Astro-Plan-It Calendar here.)

Significator – Travelling

In February, the sap began to rise in the trees, and I’ve heard more than a few health practitioners say that our energy rises within our bodies around this time, too. When this energy rises, if it hits resistance in the liver, for example, triggers of anger can the result, a literal “red flag” to nurture y/our body temple.

This is why so many of us regularly plan liver and other organ cleanses in late winter, early spring, to help clear stale and stuck energies to make way for the creative influences to flow through us and into the world dream. I’m late on my cleanse this year, but starting one soon this coming week. I wonder if you do them, too.

Present – Exhaustion

We stand at the end of a year, many of us exhausted from the relentless stories of the latest news regarding the Shift of the Ages. Interestingly, the United States started it’s Pluto Return the very day Russia and Ukraine started warring, and life has got crazier across many dimensions of our lives every day since. All of this is a part of the alchemy of the times.

There’s still a shorter portion of the Return left to fulfill, but this month, Pluto will dip into Aquarius to give us a peak of what’s next. How perfect that this future snapshot shows up with Spring. In the meantime, the reading also guides us to take care of ourselves and our energy right now. It’s all connected.

Integrator – Compromise

While we have this opportunity to look over the past twelve months today, this card in this position would encourage us to value what is important to us, and to be authentically aligned with our best. It guides us to look over the past year and see where we said “yes,” but felt “no,” or where we may have repressed our wisest thoughts and deepest feelings for something less.

This is not to judge, but to see where we have compromised our values or heartfelt truth for something else. It’s a call to our authentic selves to come forward and create.

The Foundation – Unconscious Power – Courage

This card is so beautiful. Here we are in the midst of the Great Awakening at spring, and we can see ourselves as a flower radiating energy and light is popping up out of a crack in concrete. What a perfect image to reflect the Blossoming of our Selves through hardened repressed traumas that have been jolted awake these past few years.

As painful as it is, moving through this part as it shows up and learning to accept, integrate and love what is, will give us a freedom we’ve only dreamed of up until now. We’re just a stage of going into the darkness and Lighting it and ourselves up from within, and we’re all doing it en masse. It’s our role right now, to discover our inner safety, and to switch on and shine our Light.

The Past – Flowering

We began to flower this past year, to mature. We’ve had three years leading up to and being smack dab in the middle of Pluto’s birth, death and rebirth. It steamrolled into our lives, letting us know it was on the way with Covi and triggering our shadows all based in fear, like no other time in our memory.

This card tells us we have been up to the task given us and are using the experiences to grow in our wisdom and hearts. Something in us knows “Love” is the only solution, and we are about figuring that out and applying what we learn into our community.

Direction — Conscious Mind – Playfulness

We may be exhausted from our long year, but our focus is on playfulness, creative pursuits and climbing out of winter’s dark hibernation and into the Light of day. Finding a focus in movement and joyful endeavors help balance uncomfortable things that we can no longer ignore.

We know spring is on its way. And, with it, a renewed sense of Love, Light and Life.

Near Future – Going With The Flow

This card is one of my favorites! I found out quite by accident that if I looked for “a flow path,” it would reveal itself to me. It was at a Neptune’s Festival in Virginia Beach, and the Boardwalk was filled with a mass of wall-to-wall people. The place was jammin’.

We wondered how we would get the three blocks to a restaurant to meet friends. I looked at the crowd to find an opening and one appeared! We slipped into it, and darn if a whole path through the crowd didn’t open itself to us. We moved quickly through the path to our destination without stopping or bumping into one of the otherwise solid river of people.

There’s always a flow-path and if you seek it, it will show itself to you. Practice makes perfect. We can also trust that we are in the flow whether we can see it or not. Our Divinity/True Self always has our back, and is never out of Balance.

Y/Our Perspective – Politics

This is another mirror of the “Compromise” card described above. It guides us to put all politics aside and get Real with ourselves and each other. We are all looking to feel safe so we can fall into the Love Consciousness that we are.

Authenticity, communications and solutions that work to transcend our problems need to be our focus.

Hope or Fear – Suppression

There is overwhelming evidence that the suppression of our Light today is held in place by repressed traumatic emotional stress rooted in fear and terror. People worldwide are using plant medicines, somatic pain-release therapies, diet and health measures in new ways to dig into these to find relief.

We are incredible creative beings, but haven’t been able to shine due to things in the way, but the Great Awakening is revealing these old skins, beliefs, fears, etc., to us, so we can see them. Only then, do they dissolve and what’s left is our Love, Light and Life.

Guidance Message – Creativity

This card reflects our environment and also guidance from Loving Beings in other Dimensions who are also Divine, and are our brothers and sisters in the truest sense. This message says it plainly. Get creative.

It asks: “If you could contribute, give birth, or otherwise support the Divine Nature in yourself and others with something you truly find meaningful, what would that be?” Perhaps you could take your first step (or your thirtieth) this spring.”

Outcome – Integration

The card, Integration, unites the clarity of our direction with the power within our Heart. This is what happens when we see and let go of the traumatic events, suffering and pain that forced us to wake up to who we really are.

Yes, we’ve made choices and done things we’re not proud of. We’ve also had things seemingly done too us. We’ve judged ourselves and each other in all kinds of shadow dancing. But now, we’re facing all that, and with clarity, humility (flexibility of perspective) and the forgiveness of self and others we will find our way to wholeness once again, individually and together.

Conclusion

This turned out to be quite a full year we’re wrapping up here. It sure was for me when I consider all that unfolded. The reading didn’t mess around, but got beautifully to the point, or at least I thought so. I hope you were served by a Zen Tarot Reading for the end of winter. Inscribe your thoughts in the comments if you like. Thank you. See you next week.

Love at Winter’s Close,
Kaye

Transferencia: Impressions of Cuenca

Transferencia: Impressions of Cuenca

by | Mar 4, 2023 | Love Consciousness

Introduction

Created By Lisa Jaffe

Transferencia: Impressions of Cuenca, the subject of this week’s unique blog, is Spanish for transferring something from here to there or from one place to another. Another deeper meaning is the rechanneling of old desires and feelings of the past to a new and fresh perspective.

The latter called me to a fantastic art project, later named Transferencia. For me, it started about a year ago at a gathering of dear friends when Janda asked how I would like to do a few oil pastel rubbings in El Centro.

She added that she had something percolating within her creative heart and would soon be in touch about it. Janda Grove is a deeply respected working artist who paints in oils.

Instantly, my mind flashed back to college, where I majored in Fine Arts for a brief year. My roommate and I ventured outside the lines one weekend, headed to an old cemetery, and with sacred intent, created some lovely oil pastel “rubbings” of the headstones onto some paper.

Life took me in another direction after that year, but I always held onto a secret yearning to pick up art again one day. My grandfather was a regionally renowned artist in his day, and I felt art was “in my blood.”

Back at the present moment, I felt goosebumps at Janda’s offer and said, “Yes.” The opportunity to pick up where I left off 50 years ago and work under Janda’s mentorship was too much to pass up. And it only got better after that.

Women Helping Women

Eight of us met at Janda’s house a few weeks later to hear her vision for the rubbings. We would go into Cuenca’s Historical Center in pairs or threes and find three-dimensional reliefs. When we found a potential place, we would place our vellum paper on top of it and rub it over the item with oil pastels. The plaques, carved door designs, iron window protectors, tiles, and utility hole covers were all considered.

And, wouldn’t you know, a few of us ended up in Cuenca’s beautifully maintained cemetery, where Janda received permission to “rub” the graves of the “Illuminarios” or local historical luminaries. Whatever item we rubbed, once home with our pieces, we were left to our imaginations to finish. Once done and if the pieces were worthy, we would  exhibit them in an art gallery.

Mujeres con Exito

Transferencia: Impressions of Cuenca

Created by Kaye Sturgis

Our collective desire was to donate all of the proceeds to a stellar organization here in Cuenca named Mujeres con Exito. Mujeres con Exito is a boots-on-the-ground charity that helps domestically abused women, and their children get back on their feet.

MCE is incredible, supporting the women and children in their healing journey from when they first leave their violent households to when the women become successful and able to maintain independent living. The women are given living quarters and professional mental/emotional, medical, and legal advice in a tranquil and nurturing setting.

Later in the program, the women train in work and skills that help them become independent. Some educate themselves further and return to the shelter to help the new women in the program.

I could go on about the value of Mujeres con Exito, and I will stop here except to say that throughout our progress with Transferencia, MCE inspired us artists and non-artists to do our best. Our desire to help them was our number one guiding Light. If you are out of country, you can also donate to MCE at their website if you wish. Thank you for considering it.

Being Childlike on the Streets

Created By Tricia Ferrell

Created By Tricia Farrell

To succeed, I tried to be childlike to the point where my heart could open to taking risks, trying new things, and using the rich colors of oil pastels to transfer historical designs to create something beautiful.

My personal experience “on the streets” was rich and rewarding on many levels. I worked with several friend-partners at different times: Janda, Linda, Tricia, Tracy Jo, etc. It was really fun. One of us would spot a piece and gently rub the oil pastels over the design, while the other would hold the vellum paper we used in place.

After finishing, the vellum would be rolled up and deposited in a container, and we would switch roles. Our slogan is “Women Helping Women,” and this project has been just that from beginning to end.

At first, the joy of discovering a treasure to transfer and maybe turn into a work of art worthy of helping Mujeres con Exito was initially followed by the fear of what to do with the work next.

Taking Responsibility

Artistic genes and a year in art school fifty years ago do not make an artist! I asked Janda so many questions about my direction, and it wasn’t long before she sweetly but firmly said, “Kaye, you will have to take a risk and do something at some point. If you don’t like it, throw it away and start over.”

I knew I didn’t have time to start anything over as I was also committed to writing a blog for a week for a year, as my steady readers know, but I got it. Like with the blog, I had to take responsibility for blossoming as an artist.

That was the day my dining room table became a semi-permanent display table where I could stop and contemplate several works at once, or one at a time, and ask, “What is the best next step here?”

One by one, the answers came. And that way, my rubbing transfers transformed into art, step by step, and I fulfilled a lifelong desire to revisit the world of creating art. Living in the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cuenca, Ecuador enhanced my experience.

Conclusion

To conclude, our loving and communal efforts to apply Janda’s initial shared vision  Transferencia: Impressions of Cuenca will be exhibited at IdiomArt in Cuenca throughout March. See gallery opening and exhibit details here. All proceeds will go to Mujeres con Exito, a non-profit charity organization.

Your comments are welcome.

Love in Creativity and Service,
Kaye

 

Eight More Realizations my Near-Death Experiences Gave Me

Eight More Realizations my Near-Death Experiences Gave Me

by | Feb 24, 2023 | Love Consciousness, Near-Death Experiences, Spirituality

Introduction

In appreciation for all the comments received for last week’s blog, this week’s blog was a no-brainer. It’s to write Eight More Realizations my Near-Death Experiences Gave Me.

When I died of pneumonia at five years of age, just before Christmas, it was a life-changing event. Allowed to stay home for the holiday instead of staying in the hospital, I stopped breathing in the middle of the night and had the experience that would remain with me for a lifetime.

When I ran into my parent’s room in the morning and told them I had “died and went to heaven,” my Dad told me that was impossible, that I had a dream. I had no reason not to believe him.

My Dad’s misunderstanding about what happened didn’t stop the after-effects of the NDE from unfolding. However, I would be fifty-eight years old when I came out of the denial and discovered the one defining event of my life was not a nighttime dream but a true Near Death Experience.

Since then, I have been in an “integration period,” The pieces, thankfully, have finally dropped into place after decades of confusion and vision questing, seeking the answers that have finally come.

Last night, Larry said. “When we’re born, we’re given a good twist or two like a Rubik’s cube gets to jumble and confuse the hell out of us, and then we spend the rest of our lives trying to line ourselves up again.”

1. We Are Not Broken

If we can embrace the idea that the Universe is not broken, we are open to trusting that we can see the perfection and balance in all things. All we do is look for it. Hard to believe, but change is upon us, and the perspective I am sharing can attract the Light of a solution in any tight squeeze.

Difficult things happen, but they are perfect in their purpose, which we can sometimes see and sometimes not see for a while, and still, other times, not at all. My harshest experiences have all, without exception, blessed me with a greater capacity for Love and compassion – for all. It doesn’t mean I don’t have shadows to deal with or boundaries, but at some level, knowing everything is for Real, all right, intact and whole, not broken, makes life easier.

Even when life doesn’t make sense, everything that unfolds, large and small, is always perfect.

2. Most Things in Life Mean Nothing.

I laid on my bed listening to music when I was a young teen and rising above the music, I could hear my mother’s voice. She was anxious about the details of a party she was giving.

I heard the words from my Inner Voice, which always seemed correct, “Tell her this party means absolutely nothing in the big picture, and she needs to relax.”

Immediately, a contrary thought rose. “No way. There is no way I can say that to my mother. She will not understand, and I will get punished.” So I didn’t, but it was what it was.

Sorry, Mom. I imagine you “get me” now.

Almost everyone who has had an NDE knows that the Love we give is the only thing that matters about being here. Everything else is a necessary distraction and not to be judged.

3. Seeing the Divinity in Other People

From the time I can remember, I was always aware of the Divinity, or Love Core in others. It is automatic for me to tap into their unique Presence and Gifts. Seeing the Divinity within others has been a mixed blessing, and I’ll tell you why.

When you are aware of a person’s Divinity, you connect with their Core Essence. Everyone has or is Love Consciousness, but I discovered that just because I was aware didn’t mean they were.

I imagine you may have run into similar situations. You can see the Love, light, and gifts in people who cannot see their true value.

As a human, boundaries are crucial for a sane and healthy life. Not all personalities vibe together, however Divine they are. We can love people from afar and send them our Light.

In our quest to “master Love,” sometimes doing the loving thing doesn’t feel so good. Sometimes Love is tough Love or simply Loving Detachment

4. We ALL have a deep desire to Return to Divinity.

We all have, at the base of who we are, Love Consciousness. American naturalist Henry David Thoreau once said, “There are thousands hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.” The root is what separates us from our True Self. Most look “out there” at the branches of troubles, while the wise one turns within to resolve imbalances and shadows.

The “branches” matter so much less than fanning our desire to return to Our True Self because this drive is our greatest desire. This desire for the Love we are gives us everything we need to face what is in our path.

It is a great time to be alive because we humans are smack dab in the middle of returning to our Divine Self Realization. We can face everything that is in the way, whether mental, emotional, physical, or even life-threatening, although let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Still, there is no death, no matter what — we all are and will be okay. Really. Integrating this one Truth removes a LOT of fear from living life to the fullest.

5. We Can’t Mess It Up

No matter what we do, we can’t mess it up. What if whatever we do here on Earth is forgiven? Knowing all actions have consequences, you wouldn’t just do anything. Even though we don’t know what the consequences will always be, we use jurisprudence when we can just the same.

And with all that out the way, isn’t it great to feel the freedom that we can’t mess it up no matter what? Truth dissipates fear and anxiety that we are somehow not enough.

I love that at the end of our lives, from my experience and listening to hundreds of other NDErs, we seem to be treated like a human version of a rescue dog going to the best dog-loving home ever. We are not immediately taken to task for our human behaviors, thoughts, feelings, shortcomings, etc. It is understood that we were steering blind when in these body-minds.

6. We Are the Only Ones Who Judge Ourselves.

This topic is so important, and I am glad to remember it for this blog. It may sound “out there,” but bear with me and try it on. We are all One. There is no Other. Everything we see, hear, etc., is a mirror of our own inner nature. If you want to stop judging others, learn what it takes to stop judging yourself; judging others will naturally cease. We need to love ourselves genuinely and daily. When we love ourselves, we cannot help but express Love into the game of life and attract the same in every mirror we see “out there.”

7. There Is No Free Will. There Is No Not Free Will.

As crazy as it sounds, let me explain why this is a good thing to to consider.

I have several friends who have received their palm-leaf readings from India. Ancient astrologers wrote these individuals’ palm leaves three to five thousand years ago.

From their fingerprints alone to go on, the caretakers of this work located my friends’ palm leaf readings and read them via translators online. The palm reading included their birthdate, immediate family members’ names, relationships, significant past and future dates, health, death, and the cause of death. 100% accurate. What!? It’s a good case for no free will when your entire life was  written and detailed on a palm leaf  three to five thousand years ago!

But it seems like there is Free will at other times. We seem able to create many of our circumstances, but never all of them just how we want them. Certainly, we can choose our perspective about what shows up.

No Free Will can help us to relax and go with the flow of our lives. Free Will can help us participate in our direction, at the least, and our responses to things. Pondering both enriches our understanding of the Essence of life.

8. EVERYTHING is Made of Love

Once I discovered that living in harmony with the imprint of my NDE experience was and is an optimum way of being, my role here began to blossom. Before I discovered the truth of my childhood NDE experience, I was not very confident. I didn’t know HOW I understood what I do, and that something was missing.

I have always known that everything is made out of Love, and that Love is the solution that will bring balance to the world of humanity. (More coming in future blogs.)

Conclusion

This concludes eight more realizations my Near-Death Experiences gave me. I hope you found some value for yourself in these and can put one or more to use in your own realized heart. Thanks so much for your comments, and you know where to leave any new ones.

Love, Light, and Humor,
Kaye

Eight Realizations My Near-Death Experiences Gave Me

Eight Realizations My Near-Death Experiences Gave Me

by | Feb 19, 2023 | Love Consciousness, Near-Death Experiences, Spirituality

Introduction

Before I get to the eight realizations my Near-Death Experiences gave me, let me start here. For most of my life, life and death appeared quite the opposite of what we’re taught. Here’s why I thought so.

When I died for a brief while at five years of age, I felt pure bliss, unconditional love, and acceptance. I’ve never felt so alive.

It was undeniably the most astonishing part of my life, and nothing since has even come close except when I re-access that time. When I found myself back in this body and human life, there was no comparison to where I had just been.

Living in a human role on Earth appears as an enigmatic world game full of complex complementary and contrary dualities where we never know for certain what will happen when we make our next move or choice. Most of us are flying blind and don’t often want to stop to look at that. (We will discuss this in a future blog.)

If we are to have peace of mind, it is critical to learn to relax in the face of such incomprehensibility. Relaxation, when done as a practice whenever possible, attracts all we need. There are additional inquiries that can release what’s in the way of our freedom, but relaxation is a good start.

Here are eight realizations having an NDE gave me. I figure they are also your realizations because we all ultimately come from and return to the same place. Try them on to catch any wisdom pearls that will help you relax into your authenticity even more.

1. Life does not end when our bodies do.

Who we are does not die. Knowing this, we can relax more and enjoy our lives here. It is hard to understand because the body’s death can be so messy. Depending on our identification and attachment to the bodies we wear, not to mention those of our loved ones, help determine our suffering around death. But there is no death.

2. There are many Dimensions in the World of Form.

Ours is only one. Maybe because my NDE opened me to the all-encompassing realm of Love Consciousness, I have felt comfortable with lesser non-physical realms. I have traveled in these multiple times by myself and in groups. Some overlay the physical dimensions of our lives.

I’ve had multiple experiences with Angels, UFOs, Healing Spirit Journeys, Meditation, Dreams, etc. These dimensions and beings play a role just like us. They are part of the Game of Life, making life much more interesting than it would be otherwise. I could tell you stories . . . and given time, I will if there is continuing interest. Can you imagine how adventuresome life could be without fear holding you back?

3. There are Universal Laws in Play!

This understanding came later, but some Laws govern the Universe and All There Is in it. The way to recognize a Universal Law is that it works reliably and flawlessly when understood and practiced.

It made sense to look into these and to learn to navigate by them. There are Universal Laws at work in the macrocosm of astrophysics, down to the microcosm of human behavior and life.

A couple of my favorites came from NDEr, Ray Johnston, who was shot by a drive-by shooter coming out of a play on Broadway. In his NDE he discovered the Universal Laws that “No one dies. No one gets hurt. We get to keep the benefits of our life just lived.” You may not experience the truth of this one just yet.

Another favorite I’ve mentioned before is called Makia by the ancient Hawaiians of the Mo’o Clan. “What you give your attention to comes to life.” Please don’t believe me, but try these Universal laws on for yourself and see how they shift your awareness and line you up with who you are.

4. Keep A Wide-Open Mind

To Love ourselves and others without judgment requires an open mind. Finding loving, balanced solutions to the stress upon us from so many directions also begs an open mind.

In the end of our journey here on Earth, the mind drops, but in the meantime, we can use our mind to dig into itself and resolve whatever is the way. I have a very open mind as do most near-deathers I know. It makes for easy living when not so attached to how things go or are.

5. We hold the capacity within to remember who we are, where we came from, and what we are doing here.

We’re misinformed somehow but make no mistake. There is a Power more significant than the issues that face us today; that is, the Power is Love.

How can Love save us? The answer is for us to discover and uncover in our Awakening. And as it comes, we can share our gleanings with all the other corpuscles in the body of the Divine.

We can trust we’re all supposed to be here now, or we wouldn’t be, and we are all playing a part. What’s your part? Do you know yet? If not, relax to let it come.

6. Suffering is Optional

In this dual world of complementary and contrary dualities, we are going to experience pain, but we don’t have to suffer, and finding the distinctions between the two is a worthwhile effort.

Suffering is sticky much like rubber cement. Suffering clings to us via unprocessed trauma, victim stories, and feeling sorry for ourselves by refusing to face Reality as it is.

The latter is not harsh. Suffering is harsh. Having the courage to relax enough to peer deeply into our suffering releases it and exposes our deepest treasure, power, and freedom, Love Consciousness. Who knew.

Pain hurts but is not sticky. Pain can be tragically deep at times, but the more we love ourselves enough to relax and accept its presence, the more it magically releases its teachings that guide us to our inner promised land.

7. Don’t take human life too seriously. Seriously!

A sense of humor is mandatory for a life with meaning, not to mention a general all-around lightness of being. There is a Buddhist story of three laughing monks who laughed their way from village to village, cheering everyone up with their continuous laughter. It came to pass that one of the monks died.

The villagers knew they would not be laughing now. They attended the burning of the body as was the custom. The vibe was solemn as fitting a funeral. Everyone was watching the two remaining laughing monks, but they weren’t laughing on this day. They were bent over the dead monk’s body, presumingly saying good-bye to their dear friend.

Finally, they stepped back. Suddenly, fireworks exploded out of the dead monk’s torso. Red, green, and blue balls of fire shot up into the sky. The two remaining monks shrieked with peals of laughter at their friend’s final wishes, and soon, all were following suit.

8. Bottom Line: I am a Divine Being, and You are a Divine Being.

We are all Divine Beings. Master Teachers all know this about themselves; if they are Really a Master Teacher, they know it is true of everyone around them. I love Nisargadatta because he only teaches a student for eight days and then kicks you out.

He would say it only takes eight days to “get it.” Now, that’s an empowering teacher in my mind! He wanted us to know how simple it is to be childlike without preconceived notions of ourselves of any kind. A child just IS. Pure. Open. Spontaneous. Present. Loving. Accepting. Real. All of that and none of that.

Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed the eight realizations my near-death experiences gave me. Truthfully, I realized while writing them that there are so many more realizations, insights, and revelations my NDE gave me. Perhaps this blog will become a series. More importantly, it lights me up to know you may have gotten something of value out of these, too. Please leave any comments or questions you have below.

Love, Light, and Life to your Beautiful Divine Self,
