Censorship, shooting stars and another eclipse...

Censorship is once again at the heart of the
Beijing Olympics - and not in China, it's happening right here in
Australia. A GetUp ad, featuring a Tibetan woman, was booked, paid for and confirmed to air on either side of the Opening Ceremony - but it never showed

With August being a month for much
celestial activity, there will be a meteor shower on August 12th. With
a bit of a window around its arrival, the evening of the 12th of August
and the morning of the 13th of August will bring forth the maximum of
the Perseid meteor shower. Up to 80 shooting stars may be visible each
hour! And then on August 16th, we will experience a full moon lunar
eclipse.

So then, the meteor shower is bringing in energies of fairy dust, like a
sprinkling of light and beauty, magic and love, this cosmic event will
only serve to make us feel good. Recharging our batteries and
rejuvenating ourselves through these energies will be ever so possible.
We will have the opportunity to laugh, feel a lightness and joy, to
play with our brothers and sisters, to enjoy having many things fall
into place effortlessly, and to feel good once again.

On August 16th, we will experience a lunar eclipse and full moon. During
this time, we will have the opportunity to experience and examine our
shadow selves, what is inside of us, what our fears are, and we may
feel and emptiness and rather spooky energy. It may feel that the light
is temporarily gone and that we are only connected to a strange and
dark space. We may not want to be alone then, and thus crave the
companionship and connections to others.

When we experience these opportunities to
really see the aspects of ourselves that we would prefer to hide from
others, we can feel vulnerable, inadequate, and almost powerless. But
by embracing the energies that these cosmic events are here to support,
love them and allow them to be utilized in their purest form, we can
then let them go and move forward once again. It is then that we have
even more gratitude for the love of another, or perhaps are then more
able to see and have love for the seeming inadequacies of our brothers
and sisters, as we know that we are not perfect either.{energy alert}

The greatest gift a parent can give a child, is the ability to
become independently happy.

And the greatest gift a child can give a parent is
exercising that ability. And the greatest gift a child can give a parent is
exercising that ability.

Agreement is the glue that holds realities together

Lumping is a term I use to describe it when we decide we're going to be like everyone else. We "lump ourselves in" with a collective of people who are all appearing to have the same thing going on in their lives.

As an example let's say that the crowd believes that gaining weight happens as a result of our eating (instead of our thinking) habits. If we agree with them, then we'll surely be concerned with every little thing we eat and therefore set ourselves up for getting fat.
It works the same with diseases. If, for instance, we agree that a particular disease, the Black Crud, is running rampant throughout the population, then we run the risk of getting it. Our agreement with everyone else who believes in it creates an opening for us to experience it. If, however, a well-meaning friend warns us that the Black Crud is spreading, and we choose to withhold our agreement and our belief in it, then we will not be subjected to it.
It's at the moment that we lend our agreement to a belief that we bring it to life.

My Intention for today is:


I Intend that I am
watching my thoughts much closer and I am remembering that my agreement
is a precious tool only to be used after careful consideration.
