September 17th: My GGAQ’s & Meditations on Tara

Today’s book recommendations:

  1. How to Free Your Mind: The Practice of Tara the Liberator
  2. Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

“om tare tuttare ture soha”

Tara means “star,” “planet,” or “she who ferries across.” She is a bodhisattva embodying compassion in the female form of a young goddess. She is often considered to be such an advanced bodhisattva that she is actually a Buddha.

Tara’s name is said to derive from the verb meaning “to cross” or “to traverse”. In Pali the verb tarati means “to get to the other side.” This word is cognate with the Latin “trans” (across). The word Tara also literally means “star.” – Source 

 

Good morning,

Today I am introduced to this wonderful Deity, Tara – She is the mother of all! I trust you had an enjoyable weekend. As I look forward to the coming days and weeks it seems most are anticipating a change of seasons and excited for the Fall weather. Some may not, however most of us here in Colorado are done with the heat and ready for some cooler temperatures. They are coming and I’m excited, Fall colors, temps, and snow are what I look forward to after a long Summer.

I have been giving thought to which is the aspect of quality and care. In fact a wonderful book on this very topic is, Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It speaks to the elements of care and our need for the quality in aspects of our lives. I struggle with this as I am always looking to the end result of any project or endeavor and less about the details in which will make the project a complete success.

Part of being a high level thinker and entrepreneur is my automatic holistic bent to always look to the end result of actions and end results. Yet, I miss the important aspects of what make something worth while. Today I am introduced to Tara and I believe she has appeared in my life to be very important as to what I am working on for my next big product that will be launching in the coming weeks.

tara

I will meditate and learn to work with her – I believe she can help me to achieve the balance, the quality, and the care that is necessary to bring about the desired results. I desire the details of what I am building to truly bring change and peace to those that are suffering and in need of direction for their lives. Perhaps she can help you as you go through your day and week, recite the mantra, “om tare tuttare ture soha” and allow her to bring you peace and the ability to open your mind to higher consciousness.

Love & Light

Namaste 🙂

September 14th: My GGAQ’s & The Numerology of 14

“Gardening is not outcome-oriented. A successful harvest is not the end of a gardener’s existence, but only a phase of it. As any gardener knows, the vitality of a garden does not end with a harvest. It simply takes another form. Gardens do not ‘die’ in the winter but quietly prepare for another season.”
― James P. CarseFinite and Infinite Games

 

Good morning,
Today is Friday and it’s also the 14th of the month – I wanted to share a passage about this number from a site that has a lot of good information on Numerology and it’s relation to the tarot. Since I’m lacking the thought process today I felt this would be a good article to share and for you to be thinking about this number over the weekend as I believe it holds some very important aspects for life for you and me!
Love & Light
Namaste 🙂

The Symbolic Meaning of Number 14

The 14th card of the Tarot is called either Temperance or The Angel of Time. The image on the Temperance card reveals an angelic being bearing a golden goblet in each hand, pouring water from one goblet to the other, signifying a process of inner transformation.

Another curious detail of this card is that the Angel of Time is standing in front of the gates to the Underworld. We know the gates behind the Angel of Time lead to the Underworld because the next card in the Major Arcana series is The Devil.

It is as if the Angel of Time has appeared to reassure us as we prepare to hazard the depths in our pursuit of spiritual realization.

Balance, Harmony and Number 14

The Angel of Time on the Temperance card is pouring the water of the past into the goblet of our present day experience. This refers to a process of integrating past attitudes and impulses into our present mental and emotional experience. This is a reconciliation of sorts, resulting in a transformational process that brings about a strong, healthy and integrated personality.

Karma and the Future Pull of 14

The waters of the past that are being poured from one goblet to another in the Tarot card Temperance may be thought of as karmic debt, which ‘tempers’ the process of our spiritual development. This is why the number 14 is often associated with processes of cosmic debt.

Numerologists often warn people who have the number 14 in their chart that this idea of cosmic debt may make their present activities heavy with ‘throwing karma.’ Throwing karma is the power an event to ‘throw’ us into negative results.

Therefore, people who have the number 14 in their chart should always be careful about their life choices.

The karmic challenge for people who are influenced by the number 14 may be associated with the conflicting impulses that are sure to be a part of their nature.

The ability to integrate conflicting impulses and put them to the service of unity and achievement is the challenge for those who are influenced by the number 14.

Thursday September 13th, My GGAQ’s & The Real Purpose of Philosophy

Today’s Quote: Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle. Some things are within your control and some things are not.

~ Epictetus

 

 
Good morning,
I have been slacking a little bit this week with getting out my blog posts, please forgive me. However it was a much needed break just to figure out some aspects with my business and how I will be working on moving forward over the coming weeks and months. I have been struggling with trying to balance many aspects and find my footing – how do I make money as a freelancer and also stay true to my spiritualism and blend the two together.
My tarot readings have been spot on and they have given me a lot of insight and direction. It’s often very difficult to move past your old beliefs and limitations and begin to step up and grow up in your thinking and beliefs. I have found this soooo difficult and I feel like I bounce back and forth all the time. Staying committed and also flexible and also pursuing interests, etc… Life can be really crazy at times. One thing that has become clear to me is looking at long term versus short term gains, where do you place your time and what do you need as of right now, i.e. money to pay bills??
I keep asking questions of my sub-conscious and of my Higher self as to what’s the focus and the direction is for my life. I have a concept and vision in my mind that I desire to birth and most of all, what does this look like? How do I get this to work for me and how do I gain the traction now to move forward? I do believe the right way is being shown to me and I am excited at all these new endeavors and the future. It does give me a bit of anxiety, however there are some exciting elements that are in route if I just stay the course. The most important aspect of my life is to focus on my higher self and development of my spiritualism and the rest will fall into alignment.
I want to share a passage from the book I’m reading right now, The Art of Living as I believe valuable wisdom to meditate on for our lives. I wish you a wonderful rest of your day and stay strong and move boldly in your courage.
Stay tuned as I will be putting together a new online coaching course in the coming weeks! 🙂

The Real Purpose of Philosophy

True philosophy doesn’t involve exotic rituals, mysterious liturgy, or quaint beliefs. Nor is it just abstract theorizing and analysis. It is, of course, the love of wisdom. It is the art of living a good life. As such, it must be rescued from religious gurus and from professional philosophers lest it be exploited as an esoteric cult or as a set of detached intellectual techniques or brain teasers to show how cleaver you are . Philosophy is intended for everyone, and it is authentically practiced only by those who wed it with action in the world toward a better life for all. 
Philosophy’s purpose is to illuminate the ways our soul has been infected by unsound beliefs, untrained tumultuous desires, and dubious life choices and preferences that are unworthy of us. Self-scrutiny applied with kindness is the main antidote. Besides rooting out the soul’s corruptions, the life of wisdom is also meant to stir us from our lassitude and move us in the direction of an energetic, cheerful life. 
Skilled use of logic, disputation, and the developed ability to name things correctly are some the instruments philosophy gives us to achieve abiding clear-sightedness and inner tranquility, which is true happiness
This happiness, which is our aim, must be correctly understood. Happiness is commonly mistaken for passively experienced pleasure or leisure. That conception of happiness is good only as far as it goes. The only worthy object of all our efforts is a flourishing life.
True happiness is a verb. It’s the ongoing dynamic performance of worthy deeds. The flourishing life, whose foundation is virtuous intention, is something we continually improvise, and in doing so our souls mature. Our life has usefulness to ourselves and to the people we touch. 
We become philosophers to discover what is really true and what is merely the accidental result of flawed reasoning, recklessly acquired erroneous judgments, well-intentioned but misguided teaching of parents and teachers, and unexamined acculturation.
To ease our soul’s suffering, we engage in disciplined introspection in which we conduct though experiments to strengthen our ability to distinguish between wholesome and lazy, hurtful beliefs and habits.
~Epictetus – The Art of Living
Hope you enjoyed – please, share your thoughts!
Love & Light
Namaste 🙂

Monday September 9th – GGAQ’s & The Soul’s Cry

Today’s Quote“May my soul bloom in love for all of existence” ~ Rudolf Steiner
Good morning and happy new moon,
I trust you had a nice weekend and got caught up on something personal things and maybe even a nap! I did a lot of thinking this past weekend about various things, mostly how to move my life forward with the business and integrating my spirituality into it all at the same time. It’s really a balance no doubt, so many things I desire to pursue and do, so many opportunies to wade through – it’s a good “problem” to have!
Today I read a passage from the book, “The Art of Living” by Epictetus, A new interpretation by Sharon Lebell – this is such a great little book to keep handy. I thought the passage today was applicable and may yield some insight to our lives as we move forward over this coming week. My favorite part of this passage is the part about Philosophy asking us to move into courage, I believe that is such an important aspect and one I desire to work on more in my life!
Enjoy! 🙂
The Soul’s Cry
“Philosophy’s main task is to respond to the soul’s cry; to make sense of and thereby free ourselves from the hold of our griefs and fears.
Philosophy calls us when we’ve reached the end of our rope. The insistent feeling that something is not right with our lives and the longing to be restored to our better selves will not go away. Our fears of death and being alone, our confusion about love and sex, and our sense of impotence in the face of our anger and outsized ambitions bring us to ask our first sincere philosophical questions.
It’s true: there is no obvious apparent meaning to our lives. Cruelty, injustice, bodily discomfort, illness, annoyances, and inconveniences big and small are the prosaic facts of any day. So what do we do about this? How do we – in spite of the pain and suffering in the outside world and our own wayward emotions – live ennobled lives rather than succumbing to the a despairing numbness and merely coping like a mule with tedium and unbidden responsibilities?
When the soul cries out, it is a sign the we have arrived at a necessary, mature stage of self-reflection. The secret is not to get stuck there dithering or wringing your hands, but to move forward by resolving to heal yourself. Philosophy asks us to move into courage. Its remedy is the unblinking excavation of the faulty and specious premises on which we base our lives and our personal identity. “
Love & Light
Namaste 🙂

September 7th, My GGAQ’s and thoughts on EMOTIONS

Today’s Quote“Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.” ~ Plato
Good Friday evening,
Is this not an interesting quote? My thoughts for the last few days have centered on how much the emotions play into our daily behavior. From a personal example, being stressed about my financial scenario causes me to want to eat unhealthily but also to over eat. I never used to have to this issue, however it’s more of a feel good mechanism when I think about climbing up this huge mountain of responsibility and action that’s needed.
I realized how being centered and being mindful can really help the emotions from taking over, or rather lessening the effects. Yet, as with anything that is good, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of time to build up the resiliency that’s needed in order to stay the course. How do you control the emotions when life is not where you want it? How do you become focused on the bigger picture rather then fret over the circumstances that are right before you? How do you see that all is really good in your present world if you just choose to see it rather than focusing on what you don’t have…?
I ask because I’m not sure I know – I do know that meditating has been incredibly helpful! There is another component that I believe is miss understood and that’s, TIME! Its feeling like there is never enough time to complete a said task or a said business or a said life. We rush around being “busy” at things that are not truly inline with our purpose. For example, I’m rebuilding my entire business and taking it all online. This takes a rather long approach to generating the revenue, but it will come over time. So I sit here and ask myself, well I need immediate income to pay the bills and feed myself, what’s that work?
I have found several opportunities that are working perfectly, but I still fret about not having enough when in reality all my needs are met, right here and right now. I get anxious that things are not working and it’s taking to long, and then my emotions begin to take over and start to work my mind into a frenzy… then I begin making poor decisions. If I have to many of these moments, I begin to see the incredible loss of momentum that comes from this mindset of lack thinking.
I had this thought today and it was this, “Dave, stop fucking around and go do what you need to do…!”
I must become disciplined in my life in order to yield the fruit I so desperately desire. Perhaps, I have not wanted it bad enough to really plant my ass in the chair and do the work that’s needed. Perhaps, I would rather wish and procrastinate then go do something that furthers the mission that I ultimately do desire for my life. Why do I side track and not commit and then bitch to myself and others how things just are “not” working when in reality it’s me who is not working my life. It’s about being truly committed and when you are you don’t allow the millions of other distractions pull you away from going deep and staying hyoer focused on one or two things. It’s about realizing that there is plenty of time so long as we don’t whore it out to everything that comes our way… just a thought! 🙂
I really am going to begin working on this more in the coming days and weeks. To stay on course with a plan, focus on just the core essentials of building the business, and do the things that I know will work in the long term. The most important aspect, is patience and discipline and to remind myself that there is plenty of time available!
Some thoughts going into your weekend.
Love & Light
Namaste 🙂

September 6th – GGAQ’s & Thoughts on Transition & Direction

Today’s Quote“All transitions are composed of an ending, a neutral zone, and a new beginning” ~ William Bridges
Good morning,
Today’s theme is on transition and change – life has been one change after another for my life over the past several months. I was thinking the other day how much this has brought about in my life, I have literally thrown away old attachments, both physical and mental. There has been a sense of freedom and liberation from not having so much “stuff” to contend with, there is also a sense of loss though – When you remove the old and familiar there tends to be a void that you want to fill. This neutral zone is when you learn to grow and change your mental capacities.
The void can be scary and even terrifying, but then I began to think, yes, but look at all the new opportunities that are now available to me and the freedom of choice. There is a lot of joy that can be brought on by mentally being OK with the loss and moving into the new that there is for one’s life. When you know there is a change needed, how do you deal with it? How do you best remove it, and what then takes the place of the removed item, physical or mental?
It’s important to take careful aim at the things that are coming within a transition period. How will you deal and where do you desire to go? I have given this much thought and honestly it really unsettles me and causes this flailing of sorts. Your mind tends to drive it’s self in circles trying to figure out the why and how of things when that’s not it’s purpose. To live a life true to ourselves and true to our inner wisdom and guidance we have to trust in the transitions of life, to leave the unfamiliar and to embrace the new and uncertain.
Think about it, at one time the familiar was unfamiliar and you didn’t trust it, then over time with experience and trying it on for size it became what it is now, a comfortable thing in which you rely. However is it good to keep holding on? Is it limiting you from the life you see in your mind and the one you are supposed to be living? I ask myself this a lot and it’s definitely challenging but it’s also incredibly freeing when you no longer are able to hold onto the old and you jump confidently into your new life. Stop hiding and being ashamed of who you are, be bold and be courageous – point your bow confidently and shoot your arrow with intention and accept the new and uncertain transition.
Love & Light
Namaste 🙂

September 5th – GGAQ’s & Thoughts on A Balanced Life

Today’s Quote: In reaching for balance, we find alignment. ~ Sue Krebs
Good afternoon/evening,
I found myself asking, how is it already Wednesday? My goodness how the days fly by… I’m somehow always struggling with slowing down and just being in the moment rather than always having my thoughts on the future or the past, it’s actually really hard to do. For the first time of working on this for well over a year I finally had a moment in which I was present – it was so calming.
It’s a very powerful alignment, balancing the mind, wow, how challenging is that? Remember when you first where able to ride your bike without the help of someone or without those training wheels? How freeing and exhilarating that was! Balancing your life can be the same way, as I had experienced for a brief moment the other day. It made me wonder, if this is possible, how do you experience more of it in ALL areas so that you begin to live in harmony with the chaos that live is?
That’s a big question and one that makes you really begin to analyze your life and your daily decisions that are being made. It definitely called into question some details of my life that have been a literal struggle my whole life. However, as I have worked through these aspects it begun to give me a new appreciation for the true inner wisdom there is to pull from when you are faced with difficulties in life. There is a clarity and correctness in your decisions when you listen to your inner wisdom.
Perhaps this clarity has come in the two forms that I have been asking for. They come in the form of meditation daily and asking for clarity and insight to questions I have been asking recently. I have posted these to my blog so you can read through them and see my journey as I seek a new life that’s in alignment to my life’s purpose. It’s fascinating to see how that living in harmony and balance can yield so much good in life and thus the ego dies a little more.
Love & Light
Namaste

September 4th, ’18 – GGAQ’s & Thoughts on Renewal

Good morning,
    I trust you had a nice holiday weekend – did you labor on Labor Day? I did for a while in the evening, however I did rest and relax and do some chores. I got super tired about half way through my shift so I decided to call it a night, get some awesome Afghan food at Maza Kabob in Fort Collins – Wow my new favorite restaurant! Took a hike with my pup and then crashed out early – It was needed as I feel much better this morning and glad I didn’t push it yesterday.
    I do have to say that I like the ability to be flexible with my schedule and make enough to pay the bills and keep moving forward while I build a passive income through my writing, teaching, and various other forms. I can say it’s difficult to manage all the things I desire to do. However they are good things, but I need to stay focused on the things that move me forward the most effectively and efficiently – not scattering my energy in all various directions.
    I’ve been thinking about this aspect of renewal and how we can use it and integrate it into our lives. We get SO busy we often loose touch with allowing ourselves rest and relaxation. Life become so much about doing and not enough about reflection and contemplation. Doing can be good, however if that’s all we ever do we are hugely out of balance. Perhaps it’s more about saying no to things that don’t serve our higher good or that ultimately waste our time. We have all been guilty of playing those mind sucking games on our phones and computers for more than necessary, but are they really good for us and allow us to relax or do they continue to feed the doing?
    Take time to balance your life in all areas and don’t make excuses for the way things are or should be. Be honest with yourself and do the things that are right for you, your life, and your family. Build the meaningful relationships with those closest to you and most importantly, build a quality relationship with yourself. If your health, mind, finances, and work are out of balance, perhaps it’s time to sit down and really focus on the important aspects and shed the ones that truly don’t serve you and build balance and renewal into your daily living – always remember, one day at a time!
Have a terrific day and let me know your thoughts… 🙂
Love & Light
Namaste

Thursday August 30th – GGAQ’s & Some Thoughts on Struggle

Today’s Quote“Trust Your Struggle” 
 
Good morning and happy Friday eve!
    Today’s theme is on the aspect of struggle and how it pertains to our lives as a whole. I can speak from personal experience when I say that I have had some significant challenges that have nearly broken me. Perhaps not physically in it’s entirety, rather the mental challenges and struggling to find direction and purpose for my life. Looking back over the years I have definitely been on a lot of different paths regarding career, relationships, personal interests, etc. I have always wondered, why do I struggle so much and more than those around me in regards to my situation…?
    Perhaps, I wondered, there was a larger meaning behind it all and why things never seemed to work out for one reason or another. Part of it was realizing what I resonated with and what I knew I wanted or did not want – that was a good thing but it also caused me to spin off on many different directions. I can say that those closest to me, i.e. my family, really have been concerned for my well being over the past several years since I graduated college. I always knew I would be OK and it’s true, I sit here today with more clarity and perspective and also a wealth of experiences to draw from. I also can say that I know myself better and with that I don’t have any regrets for not trying out a slew of different opportunities.
    All the paths I have taken in my life have caused me to struggle and with that also has come strength and wisdom. I say all of this to encourage you to begin seeing your life and all it’s struggles as a good thing even if it does not seem like it. Like the Moon, there is a dark side and a light side, every situation has a positive and a negative – which one do you choose to see? It’s about acceptance for where you are and realizing that your struggle does not last forever nor does it break you unless you allow it to. Trust yourself and trust your struggle as it will become a lot more clear to you in the future when you look back. You have the inner greatness and strength, trust in that and find your own inner back-stop!
Love & Light
Namaste 🙂

August 29th, GGAQ’s & Thoughts on the Karma of Judgement

Daily Quote: Be careful of the Karma of Judgement. When you say, “How could anyone…,” or “I can’t understand why someone would…,” you are literally asking the universe to give you that experience. Karma isn’t about punishment or reward, it’s about understanding. When you judge someone, you will soon find yourself in a similar position as they were. You will then see why they made the seemingly bad choices they made, and you may even make the exact same ones. If not, at least you will know why they did.” ~ Doe Zantamata
Good morning,
    Happy Wednesday and middle of the week for the most. How has the week been going for you? I feel that there is a good shift in the energy this week and things are moving forward with more direction. School is back in session, the Fall is bringing about cooler air and changing colors and the trees are already dropping their leaves. I have to say I’m happy that the Summer is coming to a close, it’s been incredibly intense with so many things happening. I can say in my life this Summer has not been very relaxing however it was necessary to herald in a brand new change and a freeing.
    It was hard to look back and see that while going through the midst of all the change that it was good for me, I did somehow know in the back of mind that it was, but it was hard to see the forest for the trees. Which this brings me to the topic of judgement and how we look at elements in our lives and those around as well. How often do we find ourselves judging those around us? Take driving for example, yes, we have all been there with a driver who doesn’t drive according to how we think they should… yet, we ourselves have been where that driver is, looking for an address and driving slow. Or we make ourselves feel better in our lives by judging another for where they are to make up for our own short comings.
    I am guilty of this all the time and I wonder how I could be better at not passing judgement. I have even thought about not judging myself so harshly for where I am according to where I think I should be, and that is a tough one to swallow. How often do we get mad and angry at our situation, judging it unfairly for it’s current feedback? Wow, I can say I do this a lot in my life and I see how unfulfilling it is and often yields a loss of direction and action forward. Think about how you can be first and foremost kind and gentler to yourself and see yourself in a new light of where you are – seek the compassion for your life first. If we choose to do this to ourselves I believe we then can pave the way forward to pass kindness and compassion on to another person rather than judging unfairly.
Love & Light
Namaste 🙂
