The 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.

QUESTION:

Dear Oracle,

I would like to know if the one I have loved for many years is returning to me. Many things, and our own insecurities broke us apart, and if not this one, will someone else come soon to make life start again for me?

Sarah

 ANSWER:

Sarah,

Life is an individual journey we all take among a sea of people. People come in and out of our lives, playing different roles as we journey on our paths. We often share the same path with a partner, but not always. I understand that you are feeling sad and lonely, but in order to keep your insecurities from ending the next relationship, you need to heal the part of self that is insecure and feels that life has stopped for you.

Your insecurities have kept you from being true to your Authentic Self. They also perpetuate your feeling lonely and scared.

Work on becoming the Authentic secure person you are by healing the insecurities. It is only by aligning to our Authentic Selves that we can be the whole, loving and divine beings we truly are.

  May your life be full of love and light,
The Oracle


QUESTION:

Dear Oracle,

For the past seven years, I seem to encounter a neighbor that I dislike intensely. Am I bringing this problem upon myself? Generally, I get along with people.

Patricia

  ANSWER:

Dear Patricia,

It is no coincidence that you have this person as a neighbor. Although you feel that you generally get along with people, you clearly have challenges with an issue or difficulty that comes up with people like your neighbor. Your neighbor happens to accentuate this difficulty.

Don’t let yourself fall into blame- our egos generally want to blame another for their imperfections. Your neighbor undoubtedly could be more considerate or kind towards you, but no one is perfect so we shouldn’t expect people to always be thoughtful towards us. Instead, we need to recognize what is referred to as “God’s winks”, or subtle communications from life.

Your neighbor represents something in yourself, something that you have had a hard time seeing, so it is now more pronounced in your life so that you can take note of this. Become aware of what part of yourself you see in your neighbor so that you may change this within yourself. This is healing work, and when you do this, your relationship with your neighbor will improve.

 May your life be full of love and light,

QUESTION:

Last October 19, 2003, my husband and the love of my life was killed in an automobile accident. It is going on a year now and I am still devastated and can’t find a reason to even want to live. The children are grown so I am all alone with nothing but my memories and my pain. I thought with time it would get better but in ways it seems to get worse because the longer he is gone, the more I miss him. He was tore up so badly in the accident I didn’t even get to see him to say a proper goodbye so I got no closure there. My life is hell and I pray every night to God and thank him for getting me through another day but beg him to please not make me face another one. Will I ever get over this to the point when I wake up in the morning there isn’t this knife in my heart? How can I go on? Please help me. I am desperate and have even considered suicide except I can’t bear to think of putting more pain on my kids and grandkids. That would be selfish of me. My only hope is my belief in the life hereafter and that I will see him again but in heaven there won’t be that kind of love between men and a woman so that kind of love is lost to me forever. Help me!!!

Rosemary

ANSWER:

Dear Rosemary,

After sharing a life, a romance and a family, it is hard to say goodbye. Coming to closure is not limited to seeing someone though: in the world of energy, time does not exist. This means that if you open to energy, perhaps through meditation, you can say your goodbyes to your husband himself.

This is not your real problem though. You have lived long enough as a wife and his partner so that you have come to see yourself as these things, not as Rosemary, a spiritual woman with many things in her life.

When your husband died, what you thought was your life’s purpose died too. Your experience has now told you that this is not true, since you are still here and you do have a purpose. You just need to find it. You need to find your reason for coming into body and what your gifts are that you can share with others. When you find your gifts and share these, you will find that your missing of your husband will have subsided so that it is manageable; you will also find your mission to be very fulfilling and rewarding.

At higher vibrations than the vibrations of life, we are all One. When you tap into the Oneness and bring it back down to the vibration of life you will find your husband everywhere you look in life. This will automatically happen as you find your purpose and mission in life. Start with your purpose. Your purpose can be as small as cleaning your home one day and paying your bills the next. Fulfill your purpose and it will grow. As your purpose grows, so will your mission and, eventually, your ability to connect with Oneness.Find new purpose in life.

May your life be full of love and light,
The Oracle


QUESTION:

Dear Oracle,

I have had a problem for sometime now. The thing is I am good at charming the ladies but when they become interested, I back down and withdraw only to realize later that it might have worked. I don’t know if it is because I am scared of being in a relationship. My other question is how do you know if a lady loves you? What are the signs because I had this lady whom I proposed to and she never wanted us to be in a relationship so I don’t know if she was just testing my perseverance or something.

Simba

 ANSWER:

Hello Simba,

Don’t let yourself be fooled by your ego! You do know when a woman likes you and when she does not wish to pursue a relationship. The challenge you are experiencing is a fear of intimacy. Even though you may long for a relationship, another part of you avoids one at all costs. It tells you that you don’t know how to read women so that it withdraws when they are interested and pursues them when they are not, making it look like you can’t read them.

Work with your fear of intimacy Simba. The Universal law says that all things will be equal in our inner worlds and our outer worlds. This means that you must be intimate with yourself in order to grow intimacy with others. Start by getting to know yourself better and you will find it easier to stay interested in women when women are interested in you, as you will be increasing intimacy with yourself and therefore, with others too.

  May your life be full of love and light,
The Oracle


QUESTION:

Dear Oracle,

I am married, almost 20 years now. There was never much intimacy. I still long to have intimacy in my life. Over the years, I have gone back and forth… on the one hand, I’m thinking God intended us to enjoy intimacy with a love partner… then at other times, I am thinking I am wrong thinking I should have intimacy in my life, that maybe I should be ashamed that at this later age I shouldn’t have such desires. Five years ago I met someone and we fell in love. The attraction is strong and we enjoy intimacy. Yet, I am still back and forth… one day it seems okay… the next day I am feeling guilty again. I have never told my husband about this man in my life. We have never met often, our meetings have always been few and far apart. I have often wanted to ask for a divorce, but I truly don’t want to hurt my husband. Though there has been no real affection, touching and intimacy, he has been a good step parent to my children, grandchildren and family. Generous, helpful, caring… as any parent. I appreciate him so very much. So much so that I feel so guilty thinking of leaving him for another. It is very frustrating for me, to try to make a decision, choice, as to whether to stay or leave. I suffer from depression a lot. I guess maybe at times, I think I should stay, that there is a lesson in this for me, perhaps that I would learn that a true relationship doesn’t have to include sexual intimacy, but it is equally frustrating in that I still desire very strongly, a sexual partner, and it isn’t easy dealing with this aspect in my life and body.

If you can help me with this dilemma, it would be a blessing.

Thank you so much,

Want to do right

 ANSWER:

Dear Want to do Right,

In your letter you are speaking of two different things – one is your relationship with your husband that you feel lacks sex and intimacy; the second is the affair you are having.

First let’s talk about the affair. You have a great split here with one half feeling guilty and the other half reaching for the other man. A split is a terrible thing for us, as it breaks our energy, practically turning us into two people and making it almost impossible to do anything in life whole-heartedly. You will easily recognize why all things seem so hard for you to do now that your attention has been brought to it.

Guilt is a feeling we experience when we have not done right according to our own morals and values. Your guilt is over bringing hurt to your husband by the affair.

An affair is a glorious, wonderful escape of life. It is not life itself and, like an anesthetic, they may mask our pain making us feel temporarily wonderful but this is not reality. An affair offers no life, meaning that there is no going through the trials and tribulations of life – affairs are a false high in which we share teenaged excitement and lust.

Although this may sound harsh, it is said because during an affair when we are thinking of leaving our mates we tend to forget what tends to happen when we switch relationships: the problems follow us here.

If you were to divorce and connect with the other man, you will find this relationship shifting because your needs of him will go from excitement, escape and understanding to true relationship needs such as life support, the sharing of and resolving of real life problems.

As to your current marriage, one reason you may be having problems here is because you do not put passion, love and excitement into this relationship – it goes elsewhere. If you would like to re-integrate the parts of you that are split, try focusing on this marriage for a year and see what happens. Spend a year only connecting with your husband, working to bring magic and passion here. Be receptive to your husband by listening to him and being sensitive to his needs. Be there for him and he will become more intimate with you. Ask for love, sex and intimacy after you have given to the relationship for three months. If he is still unable or willing to have sexual relations, take steps towards solving this, even if the steps include therapy.

In life a Universal law states that we can only receive from life when we give to it. When we are split, as you are, it is almost impossible for us to give to life and you have not truly given to either man. Give fully to life, to one man, and you will then be able to receive fully.

  May your life be full of love and light,
The Oracle


QUESTION:

I have been married to my soul mate (told by psychic, but knew in my heart) for 2 years (we are 49 & 50). We first met and dated when I was 14, he 15 and then had a whirlwind relationship 2 years ago and got married within 3 months. I love with all my heart and soul and I know he feels the same. However, when we fight it is unbelievably abusive. This doesn’t happen a lot, but enough to make me wonder if maybe I should let him go, as I feel this marriage is making us both sick emotionally, physically. Can this be worked out – is this just a growing phase?

Yogababe

 ANSWER:

Dear Yogababe,

In your relationship, as in all others, there is a lot of room for personal growth – though the growth takes different forms.

If both partners are willing to work on healing themselves, healing the parts of self that are emotionally and physically abusive towards one another, then you can grow together. This will only improve if both partners are willing to grow.

If you find that there is not the ability to grow and heal, then you may be forced to prioritize between what you perceive to be a soul mate and your own emotional and physical health and well-being.

We ourselves can always choose to grow – we are never stuck or in a hopeless situation. There is always the opportunity to bring light and love into our lives and our life circumstances, but it requires the necessary changes to allow these in.

  May your life be full of love and light,
The Oracle

The Oracle’s Universal Laws

In life there are many things that demand our time and attention. Life brings us problems and challenges and one reason for this is so that we can find, practice and become a part of Universal Laws.

One such law that is demonstrated in this issue’s letters to the Oracle and the responses is the Universal Law that we must always make ourSelves our first priority.

Most people continue to struggle with life because they have either fallen prey to the illusion of life, making work, relationships or something else their first priority. On the flip side, there are those who make their egos their priorities in life, thinking that they deserve to have anything they like. In either case, our Authentic Selves are not the priority in life.

When we live an unbalanced life of priorities we are greatly challenged to see what is real and what is an illusion in life. This is when we misperceive that our lives would be better if those around us changed, wishing that our neighbor would be nicer or that our spouse would behave the way we want them to. This kind of thinking and feeling is mis-focused: we think that others need to change. Instead of focusing on ourSelves and seeing what we need to change in us, we blind ourselves to what is real by thinking that the illusion, which includes people in our lives and life circumstances, should be the ones to change. With our focus on others, or the illusion, we put ourselves outside of our Authentic Selves.

Once we begin to see more clearly that we need to focus on ourselves, we bring power and energy into ourSelves. Now we can begin to make positive shifts and changes in our lives. As we apply these changes we are applying the Universal Law by making our Authentic Selves the priority.

Change is not an easy thing for us, as humans, but it is an intricate part of every aspect of life. Everything changes every second, including us. We need to remain flexible and ever-changing, otherwise we stagnate. Stagnation is death, evidenced by the stagnation of any living thing on our planet that stops moving, breathing and living, as these all require change.

Make your Authentic Self your first priority. Be aware of what problems and challenges you are experiencing in your life, as these are seeking a change.  Apply these needed changes so that you are working with this Universal Law. As you do so, you come to know and embody the Universal Law yourself, connecting you more deeply with all that is.

  May your life be full of love and light,
The Oracle

Use Your Intuition to Solve Stressful Problems
By: Lynn Robinson
Q:   How can I tap into my intuition when the decision I'm trying to make is filling me with fear and anxiety?

A:   Many people report that when they're going through a major crisis they have a hard time focusing on finding the "right" solution. They feel their usual guidance system has abandoned them. The truth is that the stress you're experiencing just calls for a different approach, and using your intuition in these situations can help more than ever. Here are three ways to tap into it when you need it most.

Shift Your Perspective
This is not the time to think catastrophic thoughts about your future. Make a conscious attempt to shift the focus from any pessimistic thoughts. Adopt a short-term mindset for now. Try saying things to yourself like, "I know I'll get through this," "What could I do today to make things easier?" "I am open and receptive to new ideas about how to improve my situation," "I've gotten through tough times before," and, "Something good will come of this."

Use a journal to write down — with as much detail as you need — exactly what's causing the anxiety and why. Then, shift your focus to the immediate future. Consider what outcome would best solve your problem and brainstorm five ways to achieve that end.

Stay Focused on the Positive
During times of crisis it often feels like everything is going wrong, but that's seldom true. Staying focused on what makes you feel bad will only worsen a difficult situation. Pay attention to what is working. Perhaps a friend called to cheer you up, or your child got off to school this morning without a major tantrum, or you had a really nice lunch with a colleague. Find those precious slivers of appreciation in each day.

Take Small Steps
Most of us feel quite anxious when making big changes in our lives. We're afraid we'll make a mistake that we'll later regret. I've found that taking small steps towards a decision works to alleviate this unnecessary anxiety. You'll probably find that as you take those small steps the decision becomes clearer, your resolve becomes stronger and the fear begins to lessen. In this way, intuition can guide you, small step by small step.

Try this simple tip:
Imagine the feeling of abundance!

To be abundant, we must know abundance. If you don’t feel you have known it before, don’t worry – you can still bring the energy of abundance into your life. Imagine it! Simply use your imagination and imagine what it would feel like if you had some abundance in your life. Just by imagining abundance you will attract it into your life. Imagine on!

      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!

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.

 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.
