Ten in One: 6-5-08: Are You Even LISTENING?!?!

In the last couple weeks, I spoke of being honest about what we want and taking a stand in communicating what we want. The next step is about getting what we want: or receiving it actually.

When someone thinks we aren't listening, they often speak with increased volume until they get our attention. Self communication is the same way. Our minds will zoom in on certain things to try to speak to us. If we don't pay attention, we'll find that the universe (our reflection) speaks louder and louder to show us our next step.

Over the last couple days, a friend spoke of going hiking in some sacred woods. I felt called to go with her, but knew I had too much to do. Yesterday, I woke up and approached my computer to check messages and emails, finding a myspace comment about "getting out in nature and listening". I went on to draw a faery oracle card, as I like to do in the mornings, and I drew Losgunna, which is about reminding us to not get so caught up in living internally that we forget to explore externally.

I looked at Lance and said "I think we're supposed to go hiking or do something outside today." It was more a musing than anything, and I didn't really plan on leaving. I got caught up in laundry, and was planning to write this newsletter.

Well, I guess we just weren't listening. Next thing you know, we HAD to go outside because the fire/emergency alarm for our apartment building began to go off, and everyone evacuated the building. Turns out it was a malfunctioning pull station, but we decided we better find something to do outside before the message got any louder.

We went exploring at an architectural salvage yard and had a blast. We stopped at the grocery, and the newspaper by the exit door had the following headline: "Growing inside by getting outside".

When we really tune into listening to our Selves, we can find the bread crumbs to our heart's desires anywhere: the leaves, oracle cards, circumstances, the radio, movies, books, strangers, a candy wrapper blowing by with a fortune on it: everywhere we look. It is then that we understand that we really can know anything we seek to understand, and we are always guided towards realizing our dreams. We just have to listen.

(current news with Divinity)

I've been in the process of moving, but my myspace page has been redone at www.myspace.com/divinityrosemakesmusic ...There's a new track, there's new photos, and there's videos! There's also a video page under the "Magic" link at my site www.divinityrose.com.

There's also a guestbook on my website now. Stop on by and leave a message along with a link to your page.

Once I'm done moving and settled in, we'll be having a guerilla wild and sexy art show/housewarming party. Stay tuned :)

Three: Rhyme and Reason:

All these prophecies, philosophies

and misguided animosities

have lead to trite atrocities

Because people don't notice

the increased velocity of our viscocity.

Don't they see it's time to leave behind

the stage of monstrosity :

bought and paid for religiousity,

And refocus our ferocity

into things like generosity and a new found curiosity?

Five: The Tightrope:

(a glimpse at the paths I currently find myself walking... )

It's not really about trying to be a source of love: more like allowing it. We are channels and we only stop ourselves from loving ourselves. We are trained not to, and from there we will battle the reflections of ourselves all around us. Once we begin to seek to let go of judgments and accept ourselves and all that those around us have to offer, we will find ourselves blessed in every moment.

Six: Sideshow Snippet:

Snippets from journals

I really do feel as if I'm in a place where things are really moving and beginning to flow and so much is happening. Everything around me is very fluid, and I feel it ever more important to keep what I want in mind as things are manifesting around me like crazy.

May I be a force to be reckoned with.

It's so amazing when something you've been dreaming of arrives.

The universe is very much a doting lover or father, giving to us just to see us smile.

People give up power when they give up responsibility.

Ten: Grand Finale:

One day last week, I reminded Cody to put the toilet lid down so that the cat wouldn't play in the toilet. He asked, "What? Would she call her friend over to join her in the toilet and say 'Ooh, we're in a lovely jacuzzi' and flush it to spin around in it?" This resulted in a good bout of laughter and jousting. Ah! The magic that happens when we use our imaginations!! I bring this up to remind you this week to unleash the magic of your imagination and find the fun in any situation you would usually consider "shitty".

I know my newsletter has been on different days than usual the past couple weeks. I'm sorry, but I've been moving and dealing with some very exciting things. I'll be trying to get this back to a regular schedule in the next week.

Dream well, dream deep and may all paths lead you back to the heart.

Love, Light and Blessings to send you through your dream,
