All we have is a gift to ourselves from our own observer.
We are one with all through our connection to our God (Good). Being aware of the one mind as it moves through Now! As we are asked to be here now and watch. We experience now and our reaction to that experience is what creates our tomorrow. So today is the gift we give ourselves through knowing our God ( Good). Paul tells us Think on those things which are good.
All disease and pain is part of that gift, we have given ourselves, surprise, to help us to learn what not to do, in order to live in Peace and happiness. Forgive (to change our thinking, to go back to before the cause of the pain) ourself all things and the disease will dissolve.

highest level of creativity
The highest level of creativity consists in being, not doing.
When the being is intense enough, when the words are
spoken enough, when the thoughts are thought enough,
the doing will automatically follow.
—Marianne Williamson

The journey to the true self
The journey to the true self will take you through your body, imagination, emotions, mind, and unconscious because these are the conditions of the human experience. Take a moment now to observe yourself. You may feel out of balance, your mind may be jumping around, but you can still observe yourself. Your inner observer will not be waving a flag to get your attention, but if you are still and aware and present, you will sense its presence.
What if that which is aware -- your inner observer -- is God? How ironic to think that we are running around looking for Spirit, for God, and all the while God is inside us, looking at us looking for Him. A lot of us think that if God were present, there would be more going on, golden chariots or a choir of angels. We look for something phenomenal, something that will make us feel special. But maybe God is present in the ordinary act of observing.

About Tarot Wisdom
Sometimes when I tell people I am a Tarot Reader they say, they get their information from God and don't believe in Tarot, as if it comes from somewhere besides God. OR worse, that if I use Tarot I don't believe in God. Well I don't believe there is a Big Man in the sky making judgments about me and what I do. I am my connection to God. I am one with God, as we all are. I live and move and have my being in God. God is all there is. Other terms for God are One, Wholeness, Love, Truth, Beauty, The Universe, Spirit. There is nothing that is not God, NOTHING. Now there can be the absence of seeing this the absence of knowing this. But no one is alive without this breath of life that is not God or the Universe or Spirit. Tarot is a part of Gods wisdom, it is just a different venue. It is all in picture form rather than text or words. The words come from the Spirit within which is, of course, God. Tarot is a book of Truth and Wisdom not at all separate from God or Good. Thinking Tarot is of another source or the Big Boogie Man the Devil means that you are not seeing God as All. You are not seeing Good. You are missing Truth. My devotion to God or Spirit or Spiritual Truth is where I get my inspiration and wisdom of the Tarot. I take it as a personal goal in my life to clear up the superstition in the idea there is some other Source. When Moses ask the name of God he was told I am. That is where we find God and Truth,Within ourselves. It is given to them according to their belief so if some one or you believes there is some other Power than God the Good then that is what is given to you. We create our world through our thinking. If we think there is someone or something against us then we are against our Self against our Good. I wish I could wave a magic wand and remove the superstitions that plague people about methods of finding Truth. If you are drawn to inspirational images, Tarot is your great picture book of Truth Wisdom and your very own Soul.

The High Priestess
She has made the journey within. She has found the source. She knows all she need do is look at what she holds within herself. She has attained knowing though a dedicated heart. She sits in front of the veil of illusion. She sits grounded on a solid stone of knowing, between the poles of positive and negative, the opposites, and also sitting in front of these pillars of existence. They can then be seen as something she passed , they are behind her. The duality of right and wrong, good and bad, forces she can draw shelter for the knowledge of their form in manifestation, but she is no longer drawn one way or the other by them. This veil she has stepped through. The sphere of crystal that sets in two quarter moons, shows that from her crown, she has vision beyond the earth. Yet through it , the pure elements of the earth her vision is seen. The half moon at her feet show she has control of her emotions through her understanding of life. She is clothed in a garment of white, of innocents, of purity of intention, that makes her shine as ice blue, translucent, fourth dimensional , clear.
She holds the Tarot (the secrets of life). Remember she was born out of the fool. She has transcended from the Magician. She is the Mother. She has studied and achieved the gift of knowing, where and how to find Truth, and not be deceived by illusion. She, like the Tower, is in everyone’s deck. If she appears in your reading it’s time to turn to your inner teacher, or perhaps a teacher is available to you. Before we can reach the Priestess space in our understanding we must first learn the lessons of the Tarot which is a ‘Book of Life’ and it’s changes. She is the tarot, she holds the secret teachings, and can reveal these to anyone willing to step through the veil of illusion and move past the pillars of right and wrong, good and evil, of judgment. She can teach and reveal to anyone with courage to study, to learn to know TRUTH. If she should come as you in your reading, understand, ‘hers is the path you’ve chosen’ so you might as well give up all resistance to you own psychic power, to your own inner knowledge. Yours too is the path of devotion to Spirit and must cross out the way of the world from your heart ( judgment and duality is the way of the world). You must NOW understand the way of the world will be closed to you, and if you try to continue to go that way, it’s duality and illusion will bring you to your knees at her feet, to the foot of understanding through the knowledge of TRUTH.

Spiritual Burn Out and how to overcome it.
From the desk of Mary Whiteflower on Spiritual Burn Out.
I have been a follower of the Unity way of life for close to 40 years now. And I just received a wonderful healing, dodging the dreaded cancer, and wanted to share that first because some of you know I have been working on this healing.
Praise be to God the Good.
My blog today will be on Spiritual burn out.
Because I am a teacher of the Tarot, I went to my Tarot to see if there was a card that described or held the essence of Spiritual burn out. Well it’s not a Major Arcane because it is not a state of understanding so it would be a Minor; a human condition or experience.
So I would have to pick the 7 of pentacles because it talks about having worked so very hard gaining energy of some sort and before completion have a strong desire to rest to just sit on the idea a while before continuing because you are so exhausted.
But that is the tarot and I’m hear today to share my personal experiences on the subject of Spiritual Burn out not teach tarot on this entry.
Let me start by saying; I started my path toward enlightenment and understanding from the closest we can get to hell I am sure. Having come to the a sad conclusion in my youth that God; As it had been explained to me, was going to send me straight to hell, So nothing mattered because my only choice was hell.
Mind you now I came from a good family, a Sweet Mom, and a Dad who took his responsibility seriously. Kind of like Ozie and Harriet, and they sent me off on a Sunday School Bus to learn about God. So I sent Myself to hell early as a drugged out lost soul by the sweet young age of 21.
However Not liking there. By 22 I said my first desperate heart felt prayer and telling really begging spirit Or whatever IT was, if there was a god or any goodness it better show it’s self, because I was hitching a ride to anywhere until it showed. I was in California at the time. Well I found God in the streets of New York City. A little guru gave me a book and then someone told me about a free class while I was reading the book, and when I went there, it was the same little guru teaching that class. He told me truth for the first time in my life I wept with joy, and Set my feet upon the path of true understanding and enlightenment.
Those first years I grew so fast it made my spin. The world no longer was a bad place that was sending me to hell, and I wanted everyone to hear and understood what I had been shown.
Well not yet understanding what I do now,
knowing about how we create our world by our emotional responses,
The Old Ones if we haven’t cleared them,
that that’s how we make our world by our thinking. Even though I found Unity in that first year.
However trying to put my new learning in a mind filled with lies from my given social perspective lead to many burn outs of my spiritual learning.
Now having been burnt out enough times on my own journey to be turned to ash maybe even too many times too confess to, but I know now time teaches, “once our feet are on the path, there is no choice but continue, to reach your total truth and the fulfillment of life.” Now I have concluded the reason spiritual burn out happens is when one stands on the edge of the alter fire of the heart, a place of seeing the need for great change and just stands there studying it and contemplating it and not taking that step of surrender into the fire. If we just set there in at the edge we burn, soon we are burned out; or if we take that steep in with only one foot stop and freeze in fear again we burn again burnout.
But I’ve learned if I step in to the fire of my heart with a heart felt determined intention to step into the fire and be consumed by my commitment, and surrender, Truly surrender to the truth of my true Good God Self, and walk the walk not just talk the talk, I am truly reborn and the baggage I carried into the fire is gone.
I know because it just happened after a burn out of well many years. 5 maybe 10 maybe more.
Now I feel it is always our choice of how many life times takes to truly step into the kingdom. But we will have to step into the alter fires of our own heart, and forgive everything especially ourself, and allowing ourself to surrender to our own Goodness, or Godness in order to reach the true kingdom.
I personally know now
I can see the joy in all times by seeing from my heart.
Or if I refuse to see and feel the joy in life, be once again brought to my knees so I can truly look up into the eyes of truth.
I have had to learn to Surrender to the good however it may appear, it is MY only salvation TO THINK ON THE GOOD, GOOD being the key word here,
Good as in joy and beauty and things that make us feel blessed and just let all else just flow under the bridge of life.
For myself I have had this path of emotional cleansing to walk (maybe because I am a Pisces), and I have had to face far to many kinds of exhausting challenges, time has truly shown me they truly are for my own pruning in order for me to make the choice of joy and more life each time, or give up and let this body die. So I have concluded each time, all else but the joy knowing the Good of God must be cut from my thinking or this body will die, Also know all trying needs to be let go of, as I surrender to Spirit within. No matter how long it may seem to take in what ever dimension I may be looking at. My job is to know joy and the goodness in life.(And that is different with every single person of course) So I say be not afraid of the fire of your heart and true commitment to surrender to the Good, the God Within. And you won’t have to endure Spiritual Burn out.
Oh I too looked On the internet and I found this after I wrote my talk. Paraphrased slightly http://www.lastdaysministries.org/articles/spiritualburnout.html
“Spiritual burnout can only occur where there is either a fundamental misunderstanding of the heart of the Truth, or a failure to apply it to our lives. A person who has dropped exhausted does so because he has believed a distortion of the Truth, or because he has forgotten the heart of the Truth he once committed to.”
