Labor Day! Here in the US this signals the end of Summer. School has started for the kids, swimming pools are closing. Nights are getting cooler and days are getting noticeably shorter. Sigh…
And yet I love the Autumn, when the leaves change colors and air crisps up and we can wear clothes with sleeves in them again. (I’m not particularly fond of being hot!) So bring it on!
We are still in the energy of the growing New Moon so keep your focus on bringing in what you desire. Have you ever made a crystal grid? Set an intention and arrange some crystals or gemstones (or rocks and jewelry) in a pattern that appeals to you. Invite what you need, for your Highest Good, to come into your energy space. Light a candle near this every day. Maybe add some incense. Keep your unconscious mind focused on the positive thoughts of what you are attracting and stay in gratitude for having already, in some dimension, received it. Practice moving your thoughts from what you don’t have to what you are accepting from the benevolent Universe.
I am so excited about the wisdom and guidance that The Divine Feminine are sharing with us each month! The Oracle Speaks event in the Sun sign of Virgo was really deep teachings and covered many sources of information and support that humans might be unaware are around (like whales who created their own internet!). If you couldn’t join us live, you can still purchase the recordings of The Oracle Speaks events. I urge you to listen to these! Those who have attended have benefited from the profound guidance they received. Details are here: The Oracle Speaks
The next Possibilities Playshop is scheduled for September 20 in Severna Park, Maryland. These are really fun times to play, connect with your guides, create and/or update your personal Playbook, and explore possibilities for the coming months. Learn more and grab one of the limited spaces while the Early Bird Discount Investment applies! This is a great way to get ready for the Fall Equinox (September 22) and for the rest of 2014. Give yourself a day to hang out with some other fun folks and come play with us! Here’s more info: Possibilities Playshop
Enjoy your final Summer fling and plan to start off the Fall Season with a time to play in the field of all possibilities with us!

Trim It Up! – Richard’s Commentary
August 13, 2014 — RichardTransparency
This is a word, a feeling, a state of being I am working with this week. It came to me as a card from the Mayan Oracle deck that I referenced in my Monday post. It is a “lens” card – a diagram and a word to help us with perspective. And it seems I am gaining a very new perspective through this lens. Here is some of the writing I’ve done so far from a perspective through this “transparent lens”:
Transparency is about trying on new roles, new personae. It is about dropping the mask of illusion and stepping into a clear and blissful vision of the egoless self.
This takes tremendous trust! It is a vulnerable opening process backed by the belief that the Universe is completely benevolent, safe. We are safe to be anyone we can choose. This is Divine Bliss.
This clarity allows the light to radiate in, from and through with no filtering by the personality. It is a pure radiance…
And,
Robin Williams died on Monday. Did he derive his talent, skill, genius from being as transparent as any human can be? When Gurudev speaks and writes about the “witness” is he not talking about becoming transparent?
Rise out of the ego state and look, observe from that higher platform of transparency. This is a “dark mirror.” This is a “black hole” as Gurudev states. And it is completely transparent. From this vantage Truth can be seen.
Gurudev is Yogi Amrit Desai, an amazing man who has written of the importance of rising out of ego and personality into the state of being as “witness.” I compare this to moving into a state of complete transparency.
The process of becoming transparent to this level seems akin to “trimming it up.” Rosemary’s image in her post used trimming the dead branches of a tree in our yard to illustrate her point. The process cleared our view, brought in more light, made the yard more transparent and lightened the tree of its dead weight. Trimming to the point of transparency lifts us to new levels of vision and greater heights of bliss. Why is this important? Rosemary’s answer:
The guidance I am receiving is that we have no time now to pussyfoot around. We are focusing on growth, on expansion, on moving into deeper territories where we live the examined life, not an unconscious one. If you have relationships, situations, ‘stuff’ that doesn’t support you, that you feel holds you back or, worse, is toxic for you, then it is time to trim that out of your life.
“Live an examined life.” Become more transparent, especially to yourself. This is the call. And from that high vista you can be anyone you choose!
