Affirmations

From a channeled session with Jesua on October 6th (comments in (No) are spoken words from the other person)

Jeshua: Beloved one, how are you in this evening?

Cynthia: You know, I find myself just a little nervous now that I’ve got the mic here. I haven’t had any questions on my mind, but I find with things you’ve been talking about this evening and some of the questions so far that maybe I wanted to talk about this. Several months ago you told me that you felt I had turned a corner. And a brief period of time after that, a friendship with someone I’d known for about eight years exploded at my initiation. I had really been feeling like I wasn’t a partner in the relationship, that they were allowed boundaries and rights and that I wasn’t, and there were several times when I wanted to talk about how I felt things were or were not going well, and that wasn’t okay, and so an incident happened and I totally blew; none of that in love stuff. I blew and I cut it off and was done. About three days later when I went over to collect some things that had been stored there, I did get into love, and I wrote what I thought was a good letter, and I thought it was done.


But my whole summer has spiraled into this…I describe best I guess as a relapse into some emotional old stuff of feeling like a victim. And it was starting to get very bad for me actually, and it was starting to get scary, and I was starting to not be myself at work. And so, as you know, I’m in a twelve-step program, so I started working with my sponsor and taking that fearless inventory of myself and really came up with the idea that all of my reactions this summer have dealt with what I’ve perceived to be as betrayals. And I’ve dealt with that kind of issue at least all of this life (Yes) And I guess when I heard you say that I’d turned a corner, I think this part of me thought you meant that corner, and so I was very surprised to go around another corner and there it was again and you know, I started wearing a heart-shaped rose quartz in July, hoping that it would just kind of remind me, be a physical reminder that I wanted to bring love in. And it just fell off of the chain today. And I just want to be so done.

Jeshua: Right. When I told you that you had turned a corner, it was true that you had turned a corner, and you had left a lot behind you. It didn’t mean that you weren’t going to look at issues again, but in a new way. That is what you are doing now with a new strength, truly, that you didn’t have before, and that you haven’t had in other lifetimes and you haven’t had previously in this lifetime. You have a new strength and a new way of looking at it, and you have new friends to help you with whatever you need a friend for. The rose quartz falling off was most symbolic, because you don’t need it any longer. You don’t need the outside verification. Already on the inside you are love. That is why the issues have come up, is because you are strong enough now to look at those issues and to deal with them. Otherwise they would have stayed as shadows. Many lifetimes they have stayed as shadows, and you have repeated them over and over with evidence. But now you have said, “No, I want to be done with that,” and that takes great courage. That is why I said you have turned a corner. I didn’t say that you have moved into a new meadow, but you have turned a corner, and you are to be commended for that, because it takes great strength to look at what seems to be, “Oh, I thought I was finished with those issues.” You have dealt with those issues. It is a bit like the onion skin, where there is layer after layer. But you have gone through so many layers, you are getting right to the heart of the matter, and you are finding much support and much verification from others of your value. Otherwise, ones would be as they have been in other lifetimes, passing you by and not seeing you. And you have been invisible in other lifetimes to people. They just couldn’t be bothered. But this lifetime they see value in you, and they want to help you; they want to be friends with you and have you be friends with them. So you have turned a corner and you have made great strides.

Cynthia: So it wasn’t a mistake to break that off (No) I felt that I heard that from you the last time we were here when you were speaking to someone else, that saying “No” like that wasn’t the wrong thing to do. But you know, I had more feelings, I think, for them than they had for me. It’s been quite painful, even though it was my choice (Of course) I guess there’s been some doubt. What have I done?

Jeshua: You have moved on (Thank you) and it is okay. There was something deep within you that wanted your freedom, and you want to come back to that friendship, perhaps—there is that option—as a new person in a different way, relationship in a different way. And since it wasn’t changing, and you could see that it wasn’t changing, you did the only thing that one can do. It is to say, “Okay, I’ve had enough,” and to walk away from it, and then to have time to contemplate it and to be in love and to say, truly, there is not fault on my part and not fault on the other one’s part, but we just weren’t resonating. And perhaps at some other time—and this is true, it will happen, but it may or may not be this lifetime—you will come back together again and there will not be the old garbage in the way.

Cynthia: That would be nice. That would be very nice. Thank you so much (You are welcome)

I have felt so free of late.  The beginning of complete moving on began for me when that rose quartz heart fell off it’s chain.  Life is very good these days.  Very, very good.

What a weekend

I sure had a lot of plans for this weekend and amazingly I managed to get everything done except the part where I just chill and stitch.  Too exhausted in the times when I had a bit of time.  But that’s cool.  Everything is now ready for me to create.

I got my two weeks of laundry done at the laundromat (easy but expensive), got all the furniture returned that I decided not to use, went to Gaia’s Temple, did AA phones, cleaned my house, all furniture is arranged, decorated or undecorated, moved, dusted, buffett is purged of unnecessary clutter.  In addition to all of that I had a lovely time with My Beloved.  We just keep getting better and better.  Yay!

In what off time I’ve had, I have been reading Phyllis Curott’s “Love Spells.”  Written like her book “Book of Shadows” it is autobiographical in nature.  While she does do a couple love spells in the course of the tale, what the she mostly writes about is our daemon, or anima/us.  And what the function of an amina/us is.  I’ve found this to be so incredibly validating, a very honest confession of hers.  I have felt as though at times I was reading my own story and it made clear why I made some of the choices I made regarding the partners I have chosen in my life.

At any rate, I think it is a must read for anyone who has had a relationship, Wiccan or not.  Really, really powerful stuff.  But if you are a witch, as I am, then you might find this enjoyable for many other reasons.

My apartment feels bigger, lighter, I think that I have changed the flow of chi in the place in a big way, on autopilot, just feeling my way.  My place has always been comfy and relaxing but it is even more so now.  Sitting in my bed at night reading feels really great, my sleep patterns are changing, sleeping in the middle of the bed so thoroughly that the other pillows end up on the floor, never happened before. 

I continue to sort things out and little by little I’m working my way through every cubby, every drawer, every shelf.  If you have ever wanted to but put it off as too daunting of a task I can only say that it’s changing my life and how I live.  In ways I never expected.  This has been the year of the purge.  Old habits, behaviors, relationships, things, stuff, dust, chaos, buh bye.

Thank you Goddess my needs are more than met.

Another horoscope

Your enthusiasm may be noticeable — even if you aren’t the excitable type — as the New Moon contacts Mars in your sign. But it will be a real challenge to maintain your forward motion as assertive Mars continues to slow down and turn retrograde next week. Take action now while you can, but remember to be patient if everything takes longer to manifest than expected.

Moi? Noticeable enthusiasm? Never! Goddness, I’m all about noticeable enthusiasm, even if it’s negative enthusiasm. Although, I’ve decided to start a practice I tried some time ago and forgot about. No complaints of any kind for 30 days. I did it well for about 5 and then relapsed so to speak. Day 1 again.

Since my landlord has informed me that I will not have a washing machine until “next Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday, we don’t know,” I had a decision to make last night. Go to the laundromat now or stay home and do something creative so that I have some works in progress (which is good since Yule is a comin) or do laundry. After days and days of removing physical clutter from my life, rearranging furniture, and otherwise working my butt off day and night, I opted for creation.

I got all the pieces together for one of The Beloved’s presents and one for my parents. After work I’m going to stop by Pacific Fabrics and get the fabrics I need for the peace dove wall hanging I’m making for my parents. I did have some fabric but realized I bought them while in a Samhain mood and my parents are more white, blue, and green people. More Beltaine than Samhain. So off I go. This gives me some hand work to do which always makes me happy. And while I suddenly feel like picking up the wheel of the year again, I need to restrain myself a bit because I’ve got lots to do.

I’ve decided to go to the laundromat early Sat. AM and while it’s drying go grocery shopping. Saturday afternoon is answering phones for AA intergroup, my one true service job. I’m looking forward to it. The Beloved is coming along.

Another decision I made was to return the furniture I got for the TV and storage. I’ve changed my mind about how I want to do this. Monday is a holiday so I might spend Sunday afternoon returning things and getting what I do want and Monday setting it up. With the 4 day Thanksgiving holiday coming up, I really want the house done so that I can play and concentrate on Yule.

Horoscope for the week

Though Wales is at the same latitude as Siberia, it’s free of frigid tundra. Still, its climate isn’t exactly balmy. Cool, cloudy, damp days are common. That’s why Welsh horticulturalists cheered with shocked exultation last summer, when three outdoor banana plants produced fruit at the National Botanical Garden. It was an unprecedented miracle. I predict a comparable development for you, Cancerian. A source that has never been more than lukewarm will get downright tropical. An influence that has been inhospitable to your passion will become fertile and welcoming. As a result, you will bloom in a way you never have before.

~ from Free Will Astrology

Bloom where you’re planted… What I need to do is let go of where and what I think that lukewarm, inhospitable source is.

I know that while one relationship in my life ebbed right on out of here, another has ebbed right on in. And others are also doing so very well.

Yesterday as I was walking to the bus stop on my way to work there were some crows hanging around this group of trees looking for food. I always talk to the crows as I walk by, hoping to entice them into an exchange of noise and communication. So yes, I sometimes talk in english and sometimes I croak in crow. We are all familiar with their usual cawing sound but every once in awhile they make other noises. Clickings and knocking noises. So, I’m walking by and they are cawing and jumping and flitting around but one lands on a branch and looks at me. I keep talking to it and looking it in the eye. It looks back at me and “clack.” I felt acknowledged in a positive way. What does that have to do with blooming? Haven’t a clue. I just wanted to make sure I remembered it.  I ADORE crows.

Today is a good day.  Always is better on the second day.  It’s only the first that is unbearable.  I managed to stick out the day yesterday at work too.  I’ve got a nice little project today and tomorrow I meet with a new client to see what kind of website I can build for him.  Small projects that keep me working in the creativity regularly are something I love about my job.  Making folks happy I also like tons.

Last night all I wanted to do was go to bed and actually made it to bed but realized that the havoc out in the living room and kitchen areas was going to drive me nuts.  So I hauled all the stuff to charity out to the car, washed the dishes, tidied up piles and felt much better.  After a great talk with The Beloved I did go to bed and read for awhile. Lights out at 9pm!  Perhaps it’s the whole Daylight Savings Time thing that’s wiping me out a bit.  Monday I was in bed by 7:30 and Sunday was very similar.

I’m taking the stuff to Value Village at lunch, running to the library, picking up cat food.  Then a second library run after work and I’m home to cook porkchops and noodles and put together the new TV stand.  Trying to get a lot of things done so that my three day weekend is more play than work.
