Mastering Life in Maine

"When humanity degenerates, and, for the good of all, action, yes, like Lot saw, must ensue,  first God sends them knowledge  through teachers, dreams, prophecy,  in order to open the mind in order to see from a greater perspective   and offer an opportunity for us  to correct our course. To change. To stop creating suffering.   Most of the time humanity laughs  these into oblivion." - Anon 

We see it all the time A fallen Catholic priest,  An addict who couldn't resist his drug, A dieter who gains all that weight back... There is a reason for this And it is important to understand. Good and bad are polarities The nature of polarity is it swings. You can only "be good" so long  Then all that "bad" blows up. But, if you find some aspect  Of your life, or something you do To be disagreeable and you want it to end You have to love yourself Love yourself enough to let it go. Love yourself enough to avoid Eating your way into diabetes Gambling your way into debt Drinking your way into disaster Raping, murdering, pillaging... Ending up in jail.  Self Love works 'Being good' doesn't.

If, at night, as you lay in your bed In the depths of night, You dream sweet dreams  And those dreams are a mystery Who do you go to to explore that mystery? Do you go to a psychologist? a psychiatrist?  If you want an answer bereft of God, With no credence given to the unseen, And maybe an entertaining prescription,  That will hasten your death, Then, yes. You look outward. You find a socially acceptable Professional. Many dreams are messages in symbolic language. Yes the evil people of the world Take sacred symbols and pervert them As Hitler did with the swastika. But God speaks in symbolic language And so it is wise to study it  Wise to understand your dreams. 

Day of week = Planet/God  Monday = Moon  Tuesday = Tiw/Mars  Wednesday = Odin/Mercury... Horus Thursday = Thor/Jupiter... Shiva  Friday = Frig/ Freyja /Venus  Saturday = Saturn/Cronus  Sunday = The Sun  The days of the week are each ruled by a God/planet, in Pagan theology, which correspond to the seven heavens, the seven chakras, and the path of spiritual evolution. I wish I could explain further but this trespasses into an area of knowledge you need to find for yourself.  When the student is ready the teacher will appear.  To understand these associations requires putting yourself into the mindset of the ancient pagan theologian. How can destruction be love? Well they didn’t understand love as we do today. The closest they could come was the patriotic love of the soldier, perhaps. Or the love of a herdsman who occasionally culls the herd for the good of the majority. Or the physician whose cures can be seen

We gain wisdom from experience. If we are wise about a thing but we have never in this life done it then this is wisdom gained from other lifetimes. For example, I have always know the terrible lure of gambling, and not gone there in this life. We often are not wise about a thing  until we suffer the consequences of it.  This is why you do not ease the pain of unwise behavior. To protect one from their own consequences even has a name, enabling. Within reason we let them  find their own way out.  This is why we need freedom. We need to be free to engage life  as our soul steers, even unwisely,  that we may learn the lessons  of that experience. Can you imagine passing this life only to have to return because you failed to find wisdom because of some law,  or over-protective, well-meaning person? I no longer call negative experiences  Errors. I call them lessons.  Think of the things you already know. Not to hurt other peo

When this card shows up in a reading it represents a new adventure. As Significator it implies that the client is in a position of inexperience. As the Crossing card it implies that the client needs to undertake  a new path, as they have fallen into stagnation. It represents the spiritual directive -  Go forth and make known the unknown.  The Major Arcana may also be read as "the Book of Life."  In this sense The Fool is the virginal soul seeking rebirth.  Virginal not necessarily in that it has never been born before,  but in that it has drunk from the waters of forgetfulness, (Ancient writers tell us that to drink was a choice and the wise man would never do so.)  and has no memory of past lives to hamper it in this lifetime. In a spread The Fool may also indicate that  a would-be child spirit is near the questioner,  seeking a chance for rebirth.  But why does this card say these things? First, he is striding down a mo
