Oracle is a new Feature to our Newsletter - The Oracle is here
to help you with guidance or questions about life or love that
you may have. |
We all experience
problems and challenges in our lives, as this is a natural
part of life. We can even say it is the way the "system" for
life was set up on Earth.
We
all have a sense that we are here for a reason, that we have
a purpose in our lives and we do. Although our purpose requires
our seeking it out, our Higher Selves or Souls do work to
guide us through life, bringing us circumstances and experiences
that, when we work through these, work towards our purpose.
In order to bring these situations into our lives, energy
is used, attracting to us needed experiences. Even when we
cannot understand why we are going through what we are in
life, it is important to always remember that if we have
attracted it into our lives, especially if it is a patterned
experience, then we are meant to meet the challenge and change
ourselves so that we do our best in the situation. It is
through the changing of us, which requires our healing and
strengthening, that we work towards fulfilling our life's
purpose.
QUESTION:
Dear Oracle,
I
am entering a committed relationship with someone who has
issues, as we all do! I have worked on a lot of my own
and feel emotionally healthy. I am confused about getting
into a space that may be unhealthy for me, but I am attracted
to the loving spirit inside this person, that I have seen
and know for sure is there! How do I handle this situation?
Thank you!
- Michelle
ANSWER:
Dear
Michelle,
Although
you perceive that you are more emotionally healthy, you
have chosen and attracted this relationship for a reason.
The relationship holds opportunities for you to continue
to grow and strengthen yourself whether it pertains to
areas within yourself that you have worked on and need
to refine or new areas that require healing and strengthening.
Be
wise about the relationship by remembering that he may
have issues, but your responsibility to yourself and your
Soul is to work on your own issues. Relationships have
the ability to increase our issues, amplifying our problems
so that it becomes difficult for us to ignore or avoid
these. Be sure to pay close attention to the problems that
come up for you, whether you think you are the cause of
the problem or not, so that you may take advantage of the
growth opportunity present.
Growing
together in a relationship is very healthy and healing
and ultimately strengthens your individual lives and your
relationship.
May your
life be full of love and light,
The Oracle
QUESTION:
Dear Oracle,
My
life seems to have been chosen by everyone else but me! And
yet I half know in a twilight sense of things that it STILL
might be the one chosen by me, IF I had been left alone.
But the question still haunts me and I want so badly to rebel
just so I can find out. I'm 53!!! Isn't it too late for
me to be doing this? I feel so foolish. Help!
- Kristine
ANSWER:
Dear
Kristine,
You
are losing a lot of energy and personal power in your life
when you blame others for the choices in your life. It
is your life and it is time for you to realize that you
have attracted these experiences for a reason. A great
part of your personal task, the part of our life purpose
that requires healing and strengthening of ourselves, is
to learn to harness your own personal power. When we give
our power away, we give our energy away, weakening us.
Find
your energy, your power, and learn to use it towards healthy
things for yourself in your life and you will find your life
greatly changing for the better.
May
your life be full of love and light,
The Oracle
QUESTION:
Dear Oracle,
I
have been in a relationship for two and a half years with a
man who has never been married (he is 52, I am 51). We
don't live together, but we see each other almost daily and
contact each other by phone at least five times a day. I
would like to try living together. He says OK, but nothing
has happened yet. What do you see in the future for us?
Thank you.
- Margaret
ANSWER:
Dear
Margaret,
You
are already aware that the man you are in a relationship
with has never been married in 52 years, which tells you
that he fears intimacy and this is why he has agreed to
live with you but has not done anything towards this.
You
have experienced feeling second to something else or someone
else your whole life. Every time you attract this kind
of experience, including this relationship, you are giving
yourself the opportunity to heal the part of yourself that
takes second place. This is a life-long issue that will
require work on your part, and you may consider therapy
for this. Otherwise, your relationship will always keep
you feeling second, whether you move in together or not.
And if you are to move in together, your next letter will
be asking why he says he will marry you and yet nothing
happens.
May your life be full
of love and light,
The Oracle

Abundance
In All Things!
Abundance
is an essence that exists in infinite supply in
the universe. Abundance can take on various forms
such as an abundance of love, money, happiness,
joy, success, and so on. Generally, we know what
abundance is, but bringing abundance into our daily
life alludes many of us. |
|
Manifesting
Abundance uses the two spiritual laws, "as
above so below," and "as within so
without." Many have heard of these laws
but are not certain how to put these laws into
effect. To put the law into motion you must
first be able to access spiritual essences
that exist in unlimited supply on the levels
beyond physicality. Then you must align the
structured self to this essence, bringing the
essence fully into your inner world. When your
inner world is completely aligned to the essence,
in this case abundance, it must manifest in
your outer world. It is the law.
To
find out more about how to create abundance in
your life, please go to: http://laws-of-abundance.com/
Testimonial: "I
really enjoyed it. What I noticed about myself
is that I would grasp at making an altar for my
bills, and come to appreciate them and look at
them as symbolic, but also I repel actually
taking the time to work with self and energy first. " -T.B.
"I
also bought the Abundance CD and since doing the
processes on it, I am much more aware of the abundance
of things all around me. Work has taken on new
dimensions and I have excellent future prospects.
There is an abundance of love in my house; family
is strong and stable. There is a great feeling
when my three bodies are aligned to the essence
of abundance. There is more energy in me.
Love and Light,
Francisco" |

Humanity
Seeks to Connect with Something Higher
|
By: Kalyn
B Raphael
|
|
This
issue’s article is taken from Kalyn’s new book,
Seek Your Soul, which is a guided year-long recorder leading
us to connect with our Souls in simple, effective and enjoyable
ways. |
|
 Humanity
Seeks to Connect with Something Higher
Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek; and you shall find;
knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one
that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and
to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8
Most all religions and spiritual paths guide us to seek a concept
of something greater, wiser and more powerful than ourselves,
which we are calling our Soul in this recorder. The pursuit
of something greater than us that creates most of our lives,
watches over us and can guide us has been a pursuit for all
time, all cultures and all paths.
As humans we have the gift of being able to connect with our
Souls, of being able to ask anything, to have anything we desire.
All we need to do is pursue this. This is a gift intended to
help us bring a divine connection into our lives. With divine
connection we will experience guidance, understanding, and
more fulfillment as we journey through life. Our lives will
hold more love, enjoyment and happiness; we will also find
ourselves being able to work with life, bringing us more power
to change our lives, more abundance and success in all arenas
in life such as work, relationships, friendships and so on.
This begins to touch on what it means to seek something higher,
to seek our Souls.
Love & Light,
Kalyn

Jack
Canfield’s Top 7 Success Tips
|
By: Jack
Canfield
|
|
From
the pages of The Success Principles™
1. Take
100% Responsibility for Your Life. One
of the greatest myths that is pervasive
in our culture today is that you
are entitled to a great life-that
somehow, somewhere, someone is responsible
for filling our lives with continual
happiness, exciting career options,
nurturing family time and blissful
personal relationships simply because
we exist. But the real truth is that
there is only one person responsible
for the quality of the life you live.
That person is YOU.
2. Be
Clear Why You’re Here. I
believe each of us is born with a life purpose.
Identifying, acknowledging and honoring this
purpose is perhaps the most important action
successful people take. They take the time
to understand what they’re here to
do-and then they pursue that with passion
and enthusiasm.
3. Decide
What You Want. One of the main
reasons why most people don’t get what
they want is they haven’t decided what
they want. They haven’t defined their
desires in clear and compelling detail...What
does success look like to you?
4. Believe
It’s Possible. Scientists
used to believe that humans responded
to information flowing into the brain
from the outside world. But today,
they’re learning instead that
we respond to what the brain, based
on previous experience, expects to
happen next...In fact, the mind is
such a powerful instrument, it can
deliver to you literally everything
you want. But you have to believe
that what you want is possible.
5. Believe
in Yourself. If you are
going to be successful in creating
the life of your dreams, you have
to believe that you are capable of
making it happen...Whether you call
it self-esteem, self-confidence or
self-assurance, it is a deep-seated
belief that you have what it takes-the
abilities, inner resources, talents
and skills to create your desired
results.
6. Become
an Inverse Paranoid. Imagine
how much easier it would be to succeed
in life if you were constantly expecting
the world to support you and bring
you opportunity. Successful people
do just that.
7. Unleash
the Power of Goal Setting. Experts
on the science of success know the
brain is a goal-seeking organism.
Whatever goal you give to your subconscious
mind, it will work day and night
to achieve...To engage you subconscious
mind, a goal has to be measurable.
When there are no criteria for measurement,
it is simply something you want,
a wish, a preference, a good idea.

The
Little Train that Could
|
By: Kalyn
B Raphael
|
 Most
of us are familiar with the story of the little
train that could: the little train has an old
motor and is not as new and powerful as the newer
trains that climb steep mountains easily.
Nonetheless, the Little Train is intent on making
it up the mountain, old and feeble that he may
be. He chants “I think I can, I think I can” as
he makes great strides to make his way up slowly
and eventually makes it to the top.
Although this children’s tale is about having
faith in ourselves and having a positive attitude,
it is also about something more. The Little Train
may deem itself a “failure” or “not
good enough” when comparing himself to the
new steam locomotives which are faster and more
powerful. After all, who would want to ride the
slower and weaker train?
We all have fallen victim to our own judges at
some point in our lives, but the difference between
those who make movement in their lives (and make
it up the hill, metaphorically speaking) and those
who don’t make movement on their path depends
on whether or not we are willing to keep striving
towards movement.
We are not expected to be perfect or the strongest
and fastest. On the contrary, all that we need
to do is do our best. We do our best when we keep
doing what we need to do; Spirit or our Higher
Selves will do the rest.
As long as we, as human personalities, can stay
outside of judgment so that we can continue to
do what we know we need to do, then we are doing
our part. That’s it!
Egos often trick us into thinking that we are the
ones who need to be perfect, change ourselves,
change the world and so on. This is an ego trick!
Perfection and change are not things that we are
capable of doing: doing our best and being willing
to change so that something greater than ourselves
can step in and do the rest is how we co-create.
Even
when we complete a growth cycle, much like
the Little Train making it to the top of one
mountain, this is merely the completion of
one cycle which marks the start of the next
cycle on our journey. Just as there are many
hills and mountains for the Little Train to
climb on his journey. The key to remember is
that a new cycle often brings new challenges.
When faced with these challenges, don’t
let your ego fool you into believing that you
need to “win” or overcome your
challenges. Instead, just remember that your
part is simply to just do what you know you
need to do. The rest is in a higher set of
hands.

Feng
Shui Abundance Tip:
In
Feng
Shui
we
work
with
energy,
shifting
and
changing
it
to enhance
its
effect
on
us
and
our
lives.
This
is
primarily
done using
universal
laws
of
energy.
However,
you don't have to be an expert to work with energy and to
attract abundance into your life!
 Try
this simple tip: Know
your money!
The
holiday season has come to an end and many of us are left with
bills from our holiday spending. You can use this time to know
your money!
People
often avoid opening bills or keeping track of their credit
card charges. Unfortunately, avoiding our money this way
will only keep it further from us! Energetically avoiding
our money this way repels the energy of money. To attract
abundance, we must know our money, both our inflow of money
and our outflow, or expenses.
Do
you
wish
to
enjoy
a
life
of
abundance?
Sure,
it
sounds
great,
and
you
think
that
it
is
too
good
to
be
true!
It
is
not
too
good-
it
takes
work
on
your
part!
If you are willing to open to life,
to change some behaviors and to learn how to attract abundance into your
life, then try the Manifesting Abundance Series! The series was created for students
who wanted to experience more abundance in their lives, and they are! The Manifesting
Abundance Series includes two CDs with processes to help you bring the energy
of abundance in, and an Abundance Workbook, an 8-week workbook with daily exercises
and behaviors to help you know what abundance really is.
You
won't know abundance until you breathe it, feel it and
think it-
and the quickest way to learn these is through the Abundance
Series!
