The Highway Shaman Wisdom Reading

for May 26, 2020

 

Today the reading is telling me, asking me to share with you, that it is time to stop being so distracted; to let go of the old ways and welcome in the new. It is wisely said in the Chariot reading: “Everything I have worked for, including the obstacles I have faced and overcome, is now part of this time of victory. I have learned to see all aspects of my life as essential to my growth. I have fallen but now I have risen again to live freely and truthfully, fearlessly and skillfully.”  Also scroll down to read a chapter from my Zen book about this.

 

The Reading

Elements Tarot

BRAHMA: Creative force of God. Exciting and inspiring process of manifestation. initiating, beginning. 

REVERSED: Incompleteness. Emphasis on new ideas without actualizing them. Attachment to excitement.

Osho Zen Tarot:

THE OUTSIDER: 

Your connection with the universe is of consciousness. You cannot see it, so you have to go deep down with great awareness, watchfulness, witnessing, and you will find the connection. The buddha is the connection.

“You have an opportunity now to stop the tape, to quit tormenting yourself with ideas that you are somehow not ‘enough’ to be accepted and included. Recognize the roots of these feelings in the past, and let go of the old pain. It will bring you the clarity to see how you can open the gate and enter that which you most long to become.”

The Good Tarot:

CHARIOT –  

“Everything I have worked for, including the obstacles I have faced and overcome, is now part of this time of victory. I have learned to see all aspects of my life as essential to my growth. I have fallen but now I have risen again to live freely and truthfully, fearlessly and skillfully.”

 

A NEW WORLD IS RISING

(from my book Zen Wisdom for the 21st Century)

 

We are multi-dimensional beings. This is the time of awakening, of choosing. Do I want to go back to living in the 3rd dimension of struggle and pain, or rise up into the 5th dimension; a new frequency of love, abundance and happiness?

I could have said, “How to live your life in peace and harmony without getting totally sucked into the bullshit of the world out there.” That would take some explaining. Anyway, the point is, Zen is all about living in peace, harmony and happiness, in this Here and Now moment. There is a journey to this Zen Place or peace, love and happiness, and it begins with letting go.

So I am someone who is standing in the path, a WayShower, pointing to this higher dimension, on how to live life in the most positive and healthy way possible. 

Imagine yourself floating down a peaceful river on a lovely sunny day, minding your own business, wanting to be away from all your problems.  Doing your very best to not have a care in the world. Suddenly the current increases and you’re about to crash into a huge boulder. You jump up and paddle like crazy, to avoid the crash. Whew. You settle back down, and then five minutes later another obstacle pops up, then another, one after another,. You’re caught in the rapids, and its ruined your peaceful day. 

The obstacles of everyday life are everywhere. The world is filled with endless drama, which is very hard to avoid, and is stressful. You have to deal with problems at work and at home. Problems with the wife and kids and neighbors and in-laws. Problems with your health. Your peace of mind is distracted with politics, religion, sports, disturbing movies, unfulfilled desires, illness, and the damn cat, or the rats in at attic. It all adds up. Dealing with these obstacles takes a tremendous amount of your time and energy. Most people feel stuck, drained, and don’t know what to do about all these damn frustrating obstacles, which over-shadows the happiness they seek.

A “normal” 3D life is one of constant reaction to distraction. Eventually we get fed up with the bullshit, transform and evolve, and choose another way. The Way of Love is always the best choice.

We all have at least two Spirit Guides hovering around us all the time. Their main job is to help us stay on our life purpose; to do the right thing; to make the highest possible decision on all matters. The Spirit Guides are not attached to time and space as we know it. When I do a tarot reading, they direct the shuffle so the correct cards appear; to give me the information I and/or you need to hear at this time. My routine is to shuffle the cards and divide the deck in three and pick the top card from the middle deck. Today before I could turn that middle card over, it was already turned over – the one card of 108 placed the wrong way in the deck. Absolutely no doubt I’m/we’re being told to center, to pay attention and do what this reading has to say. 

And what does it say? Abundance is all around us. Enjoy it while it’s here and it may go away, only to return. Enjoy being in the flow of life. 

 

THE READING

Elements Tarot:

FOCUS: 

Centeredness, attentiveness. Ability to isolate awareness in order to perceive or evaluate information or energy. 

REVERSED: Limited vision. Not seeing the whole of the process at work. Narrowness.

Osho Zen Tarot:

SUCCESS:  6 of Fire –

Enjoy the peak while it lasts and then enjoy the valley when it comes. What is wrong with the valley? What is wrong with being low? It is a relaxation. A peak is an excitement, and nobody can exist continuously in an excitement.

“The greatest wisdom to keep in mind with all the phenomena in the parade of your life, whether they be valleys or peaks, is that ‘this too will pass.’ Celebrate, yes, and keep on riding the tiger.”

The Good Tarot:

SUN:  Abundance. 

“At this time, everything is possible and everything I need to know is illuminated. Projects come to fruition, relationships flourish, and my growth is assured. This is the time of plenty. It is important that I share this abundance with others. I am deeply grateful.”

YOU ARE DIVINE

(from my “Self Love” book)

 

Look in the mirror. What do you see? Wrinkles? Yourself aging? All your flaws?  Or a god? A goddess? Do you see the person you really are? 

Who you really are is a Divine God or Goddess. Whether or not you believe it, it’s the truth. The only reason why you wouldon’t believe it, is because you’ve allowed the world, society, the government, religion, and advertisers, to say that you’re not that. How dare they?

You should be offended that “they” have robbed you of your divinity. Those authority forces have poisoned your mind with their shit, so you’ll be an obedient sheep, following the rules and paying up. 

You’re certainly not alone in the mind control game. Most people have no idea they are being manipulated by corrupt leaders, false teachings and religions, and unscrupulous advertising, adhering to and buying unnecessary things.. We do this only because we have forgotten that we are Divine. 

Of course society makes you think it’s no cool to say, “I’m divine.” or “I’m a God” or “I’m a Goddess.” It’s not allowed. Even your family and best friends will think you’re delusional. In the 5th dimension and celestial realms Divinity is simply a given what is, like on 3D saying I’ a man or I’m a woman; a lower vibrational disignation.

Most people don’t know they have totally given up their power and/or don’t seem to mind/care or realize thier mind is being controlled.

Are you “most people:” Have you given away your power?

The caontrolling Cabals or Deep State (people in control) will roar in superior arrogance, until one day you realize that it is but an illusionaly dragon spewing vomit. I would caution you to stay away from the dragon’s vomit.

Awareness separates you from being under someone’s control.

Self Love begins with “Knowing Yourself;” with accepting who you are: loving who you are . . . owning it 100%; your beauty, your intelligence, your honor, your power, and to no longer allow outside forces to over-power you, or put you down, or in anyway tell you that you are not Divine and not worthy of their respect.

In Innocence and Wonder I Go Within;

Aware of the Consequences of each Outer Action

 

Today I drew the card STUDENT, reversed = study and research, so I asked study what? I then drew the INNER VISION card = inner revelation and vision. Ability to perceive through psychic channels. Third eye. And then the thought came: How do I open my third eye or Pineal Gland? Worthy of study, research. I then drew the FOOL card. Clear the mind.  (which is in the way of Third Eye). Live in Innocence, in JUSTICE = realize the power in opening my inner vision, without really trying, in Taoist of Zen way, while always being aware of the consequences of my (engaging in life) actions.

Elements Tarot:

THE STUDENT: Eagerness to learn. Avidly seeking knowledge. Desire for growth. 

REVERSED: Developing the mind. Study, research.

Osho Zen Tarot:

THE FOOL:  Be the fool in the Taoist sense, in the Zen sense. Don’t try to create a wall of knowledge around you. Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen, and then go on dropping it. Go on cleaning your mind continuously; go on dying of the past so you remain in the present, here now, as if just born, just a babe.

“The card indicates that if you can trust your intuition right now, your feeling of the ‘rightness’ of things, you cannot go wrong. Your actions may appear ‘foolish’ to others, or even to yourself, if you try to analyze them with the rational mind. Be the ‘zero’ place occupied by the Fool is the numberless number where trust and innocence are the guides, not skepticism and past experiences.”

The Good Tarot:

FOOL: “I know that a spiritual approach rarely appears logical and sometimes even seems impractical. However, when this card appears, I can take a risk and trust that with faith, anything is possible! The invisible realms will reveal each step along the way. I am meant to experience this regardless of where I travel. This is a time when I am learning that I am a spiritual being having a human experience.”

JUSTICE:   Karma. 

“The law of cause and effect is in play now as I see elements of my life balance out. What goes around comes around. I’m now seeing evidence of this law in the conditions of my world.”

 

YOU ARE DIVINE

(from one of my books)

 

You must not allow yourself to be dishonored or disrespected in any way. I encourage you not to engage with those who don’t see who you really are; those who have lost awareness and respect for not only your divinity, but the divinity of each and every man and woman on earth. You will recognize these people by their actions and their spirit.

“Right Company” means you stay away from those who criticize you for not meeting their, or societies, contrived expectations. Are you uplifted in their presence: with their judgments and gossip? If not, bless them and say goodbye.

Make it your passion to discover and engage in “That which is Mine.” It doesn’t matter what it is. Pick something and Own It! Choose whatever it is which makes you happy. . . and put positive energy into it. Don’t judge it, or let anyone else judge it, or allow them to compare you as less, or think you can’t do it, or some lame programmed excuse which keeps you from being Amazing and Awesome.

Take that first step today to be the Master of something: to be Magnificent; Divinely Magnificent. It’s never too late. 

You might want to write a book. Write it. You might want to play the piano. Find one and play it. You might want to tile your deck. Buy the tile and do it. If you want to dance, Go out and learn to dance. Rock the world with your dance, if that’s what feels good to you.

There is a certain joy that arises when we strive to be the very best at something. An indescribable magic is created when we get lost in our passion. 

When you dive head first into the now moment, all the things that mattered before, no longer matter. 

When people get in your face, shove their self-degradation drama at you, you are free to bow as the Master does, and kindly say, “Have a nice day,” and walk away. 

Own your Divinity!  

You just don’t need to be bothered with ignorant people’s nonsense.

The Highway Shaman Wisdom Reading

for May 23, 2020

 

The Zen card says it perfecly. It’s time of COMPLETION; to let go of the old and celebrate the new.  Find your family, those who share a compatible frequency with you, and make magic together.

 

The Elements Tarot:

BRANCHING OUT: Expanding your influence socially, spiritually or financially. Developing outlets through which your abilities can be expressed. 

REVERSED: Building a crystal or core of energy for a desired outcome prior to undertaking physical steps towards its accomplishment.

Osho Zen Tarot:

COMPLETION:  

“Whatever has been absorbing your time and energy is now coming to an end. In completing it, you will be clearing the space for something new to begin. Use this interval to celebrate both – the end of the old and the coming of the new.”

The Good Tarot:

FOUR OF FIRE – A new creative phase, celebration, pleasure and harmony in relationships.

“Dancers have partners, singers have musicians helping them create sweet music, and I find others who are in sync with me and my desires.  It’s a time for celebrating friendships and all that others bring to life, a time for revelry and relishing the pleasure of being in good company. Making magic with others is the focus at this time.

“golfista de los muertos” Stripped of all facade, down to bare bones, who are we?

I woke with a question today: Are you a WayShower?  The first card I drew was “Breaking Through” reversed which is a dedicated and empowered approach to enlightenment. Then I drew “Guilt.” It’s about striving to be/do something, and then not achieving. The feelings of failure. The drama of life.The third card was the Magician; aligning with Spirit where there is no failure, only magic. I write about what it means to be a WayShower, below. 

Elements Tarot:

BREAKING THROUGH: Recognizing and addressing self-limitations. Personal growth. 

REVERSED: Dedicated and empowered approach to enlightenment.

Osho Zen Tarot:

GUILT: This moment! . . . this hereon . . . is forgotten when you start thinking in terms of achieving something. When the achieving mind arises, you lose contact with the paradise you are in.

“You are absolutely okay as you are, and it is absolutely natural to go astray from time to time. Just learn from it, move on, and use the lesson not to make the same mistake again.”

The Good Tarot:

THE MAGICIAN:  “When I am in alignment with Spirit’s will, miracles are possible. When I see this card, I’m reminded that my will and skill alone will yield limited results. When I remember my partnership with Spirit, all is well. I’m required to explore my commitment to this co-creative alchemical relationship and see the results manifest beautifully Through me, Spirit works magic.”

 

 

REFLECTIONS ON BEING A WAYSHOWER

 

Throughout my life I’ve been told, “You are a Light Worker.” I’ve wondered what that meant, does that make me special and when will I show up and “do my job?” Whatever light workers do. I’ve come to realize that everyone is a light worker in one way or another; always trying/working to get the other person to agree with them; “to see the light.”

A WayShower is a different thing; best illustrated as the Wise Elder. There is no WayShower school per se, no degree or certification, unless bogus. No weekend workshop or Masters degree in college, even being a devote, automatically makes a person “Wise.” Wisdom comes from paying your life dues, from being in the muck and quagmires of confusion, from years of everyday tests and failures, from taking risks and getting hurt, from losing it all and starting over, from love and loss and heartbreak until raw with despair, ready to die . . . and yet inspired to find a way to recover. A WayShower is someone who has been/is willing to look as deeply into the dark and negative as into the the light and positive in search for truth and true understanding. To enlighten the dark so that with Spirit, those seen and unseen with a like mission, can co-creates an arena, at least an aura, of goodness, peace, love, prosperity and happiness for all humanity,

 

Are you a WayShower?

 

 

The Highway Shaman Wisdom Reading

for May 21, 2020

 

Yesterday I pulled the BLOCK card. I don’t want to be blocked by anything, so I drew another. Today I drew the BLOCK card again. I/We can’t ignore whatever is blocking illumination. I asked, ‘What is the block?’ And drew the POLITICS card.

I am a Way Shower. What Blocks my way showing is Politics. I want to say/show “This is Good. This is Right.” “And this path you’re on isn’t.” And that becomes political and blocks LOVE. 

I am Enough AS I AM. All the wisdom and abundance I need to live my life as a God incarnate is at my fingertips. I need to recognize what is blocking my Divinity, and let go. I don’t need to convince or manipulate anyone to prove that the spark, the Light of God, the true wonderment of Who We Are, Who I AM is within me. All I need do is Claim it, and Be It, no matter what anyone thinks or says about me. Politics are a distraction, an energy drain, a negative which hinders the positive realization that the Golden Age WILL Bloom in all its celestial glory, sooner or later.

 

THE READING

Elements Tarot: 

BLOCK: Something that stops or hinders a natural flow or tendency. Stuckness, hard ness, inflexibility. Stress, dis-ease. 

REVERSED: Focusing on problems or negativity.

Osho Zen Tarot:

POLITICS: All but the most innocent and sincere of us have a polititian lurking somewhere in our minds. In fact, the mind is political. Its very nature is to plan and scheme and try to manipulate situations and people so that it gets what it wants. Either with a forked tongue or a trust me fascade. The political game is a lie. Take a good look at yourself to see if you’ve been playing this political game. What you might see is painful, but not as painful as continuing to play. It doesn’t serve anyones interest in the end, least of all yours. Whatever you might achieve in this way will just turn to dust in your hands.

The Good Tarot: 

ACE OF EARTH – Prosperity in its purest form, concrete results in a physical world, abundance made manifest.

“I recognize the many form of abundance and plenty, and I align myself with success. I can generate gold from the resources I have at my fingertips. I make an impact. The essence of prosperity is taking form in the material world. 

 

MASTER WISDOM

 

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

DANCE YOUR DANCE

 

It is time to let go of the dream, the illusion

And accept the Reality of Your Life.

Accept your Divinity.

Be true to Your Self.

The Truth of Your Self;

Of who you really are,

Of your Authentic Power,

Will set you free.

 

THE READING

 

The above writing came from this reading of the day:

Elements Tarot:

PHYSICAL UNIVERSE: Groundedness. Integration of consciousness and action with the physical world. 

REVERSED: Vision and experience limited to tangible reality. Lack of awareness of spiritual dimensions. Unwillingness or inability to acknowledge your spirituality.

Osho Zen Tarot:

THE DREAM: All religious people have been saying this: ‘We come alone into this world, we go alone.’ All togetherness is illusionary. The very idea of togetherness arises because we are alone, and the aloneness hurts. We want to drown our aloneness in relationship . . .

“Real love comes not from trying to solve our neediness by depending on another, but by developing our own inner richness and maturity. Then we have so much love to give that we naturally draw lovers toward us.”

The Good Tarot: 

EIGHT OF WATER – Journey of discovery, letting go and seeking a deeper meaning and greater authenticity, beyond superficiality.

“All that glitters isn’t gold, and I know that I always deserve authentic riches, the gold that fills me with joy, abundance and understanding. I fearlessly pause to reexamine where I have been, where I am, and where I might go. Now I consciously choose the path that is right for me instead of the one that seems likely to draw  me into it – or the one I think I ought to walk. I am true to my heart. I’ve come as far as I can, and I leave by the wayside the last vestiges of illusion, the last bits of fear and shame. I will no longer hold on to what isn’t right for me.”

 

From the Highway Shaman:  “Are you dancing ignorant of what The Great Awakening is really all about, or are you dancing in the Joy that you’re ALIVE to witness it, and can be on the side of Goodness, Love and Freedom.”  Q

I have a routine every morning which helps me remember who I really am. I ask for the wise advise of my ever-present Spirit Guides; for the “highest thought.” With 40 years of experience as a Tarot Reader, I randomly pull one card each from my favorite three decks, The Elements Tarot, The Osho Zen Tarot and The Good Tarot. I take the written meanings of each card (below) and allow a composite to flow through.

This reading is not just for me. I’ve asked it to be for anyone who reads this:

 

A DIVINE GIFT

 

This challenging time is encased in a Silver Lining.

When something old dies, something better is born.

When something used is taken away, something new is given.

When we Let Go, we are given wings to fly. 

As we sweep the floor of what we think we “know;”

Our serious considerations which causes stress and dis-ease;

Our old ways of thinking,

A new truth arises and surprises us.

With innocence we watch in wonder.

Welcoming in and accepting

A Divine Gift;

Something beyond what we had ever imaged.

Elements Tarot:

THE LAST: The final stage of a project or process. Completion. Coming to an end. What remains after the completion of something. Personal value obtained. 

REVERSED: Resistance to letting go of some thing that is completed. Holding on to the familiar. Resisting change. 

Osho Zen Tarot

INNOCENCE: Zen says if you drop knowledge – and within knowledge everything is included, your name, your identity, everything, because this has been given to you by others – if you drop all that has been given by others, you will have a totally different quality of your being – innocence. This will be the cruxifixction of the persona, the personality, and there will be a resurrection of your innocence; you will become a child again, reborn.

“The innocence of a life lived fully has a quality of wisdom and acceptance of the ever-changing wonder of life.”

The Good Tarot

THREE OF AIR: Silver linings, natural departures.

“What is truly mine can never be withheld from me. Rejection is Spirit’s protection. It is in my best interest to let go, and allow for something better to take its place. It is my highest good to see the truth regardless of my temporary discomfort. This too shall pass.”

THE HIGHWAY SHAMAN WISDOM MESSAGE FOR TODAY

 

These are the days of Miracles and Magic.

Like seeds of a potential flower, society put us underground.

You are now breaking through to the surface

Your seeds from isolation are about to see the Light of Day.

This is your time to come out, to BRANCH OUT, to expand.

To share your new thoughts, your new realizations, your new dreams.

It will take COURAGE to move them past rules and regulations,

But you will find your way into the SUN.

Your seed will flower.

The day has arrived to emerge from the dark, into Self-illumination.

This is time for you to shine.

 

* Before I wrote that message I shuffled and randomly draw a card from each of my three tarot decks, wrote them down as I normally do below, and then “asked” for a composite message. This will be the real Highway Shaman Wisdom of the Day. So let’s begin by pulling the first card . . .

 THE READING

 

Elements Tarot:  Today it was reversed.

BRANCHING OUT: Expanding your influence socially, spiritually or financially. Developing outlets through which your abilities can be expressed. 

REVERSED: Building a crystal or core of energy for a desired outcome prior to undertaking physical steps towards its accomplishment. 

Osho Zen Tarot:

COURAGE: The path of man is arduous. The seed cannot know what is going to happen, the seed has never known the flower. The seed cannot even believe he has the potential to be a beautiful flower. Much courage will be needed.

“There is no point fighting against the challenges of life, or trying to avoid or deny them. They are there, and if the seed is to become the flower we must go through them. Be courageous enough to grow into the flower you are meant to be.”

The Good Tarot

SUN: Abundance

“At this time, everything is possible and everything I need to know is illuminated. Projects come to fruition, relationships flourish, and my growth is assured. This is the time of plenty. It is important that I share this abundance with others. I am deeply grateful.”

 

“A person must find the courage to live a complete and full life. We learn to live when we stop being afraid and by engaging in critical analysis of our own thoughts, motives, emotions, and behavior. A tolerant person who lives without fear extends charity to the entire world. Courage always precedes an act of human grace, which expresses the luminosity of the human soul.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

for May 16, 2020

 

THE HIGHWAY SHAMAN WISDOM MESSAGE FOR TODAY

“We are the  “Creative Forces of God.” We are BRAHMA incarnate. 

Instead of being attached to all the excitement, the drama; 

To whatever is going on out there in the world, 

it’s time to be that Creative Force;

To actualize our Divine gifts; 

To SHARE our creations, our ideas and abundance 

in a flowing, gentle and kind ROYAL way;

Honoring and respecting everyone; while lovingly encouraging them

To Harmoniously Collaborate in this Divine Creation.”

 

* Before I wrote that message: Today I decided to do something different with my daily readings. I will still shuffle and randomly draw a card from each of the three tarot decks, write them down as I normally do, and then “ask” for a composite message. This will be the real Highway Shaman Wisdom of the Day. So let’s begin by pulling the first card . . . 

 

THE READING

Elements Tarot:

BRAHMA: Creative force of God. Exciting and inspiring process of manifestation. initiating, beginning. 

REVERSED: Incompleteness. Emphasis on new ideas without actualizing them. Attachment to excitement.

This card came up in Reverse, which is interesting. I do have a new idea which I’m a bit excited about, which I need to actualize – to do what I’m doing right now. The actualizing is an “exciting and inspiring process of manifestation. initiating, beginning.”

Now the second card . . .

Osho Zen Tarot:

SHARING:

“There is no need to go anywhere or make any special effort. You find you can enjoy sensuality without possessiveness or attachment, can give birth to a child or to a new project with an equal sense of creativity fulfilled. Everything around you seems to be ‘coming ‘together’ now. Enjoy it, ground yourself in it, and let the abundance in you and around you overflow.”

The Good Tarot:

KING OF WATER – 

Note: this is interesting since I did thoroughly shuffle the deck again and got the exact same card as I drew yesterday. So this is an emphasis of this message; “to be generous, diplomatic, fair, gentle, a good listener, nonjudgmental peacemaker; a mediator.”

“I honor and respect all beings, including myself, and see the commonalities we share and the Spirit that is in all of us. I listen to other voices and blend them with my own wisdom before settling on an opinion, making a decision or taking action. I gently and lovingly lead others away from fear and divisiveness and into harmonious collaboration.”

So again, the message:

“We are the  “Creative Forces of God.” We are BRAHMA incarnate.

Instead of being attached to all the excitement, the drama;

To whatever is going on out there in the world,

it’s time to be that Creative Force;

To actualize our Divine gifts;

To SHARE our creations, our ideas and abundance

in a flowing, gentle and kind ROYAL way;

Honoring and respecting everyone; while lovingly encouraging them

To Harmoniously Collaborate in this Divine Creation.”

 

SHAMAN PERSONAL SHARING re: MASKS

 

I had a career as a Shaman Mask Maker. I allowed Spirit to flow through my hands as I created at least a thousand ceramic masks, all unique one of a kind. The picture above is of one of them. My teaching in this creative process is that we all wear masks, a thousand different masks . . . and our task in this life is to keep removing them until we can finally see our beautiful face without a cover. See the shining God or Goddess we truly Are.

Now that I’ve removed my mask, when I go out in public, I have a different response than most. I want to yell, “Take off your fucking mask so I can see Who You Really Are!” The God or Goddess who doesn’t need to live in fear; who doesn’t need to submit to the manipulation of a controller’s agenda. 

I won’t wear a mask. I cringe when forced to while in the market, only in respect to the rule- obeying store owner, even though I think blind compliance is unhealthy.

The Divine imperative is to “Be the God who you Are.” 

Forced Mask wearing is the opposite statement, “you are not a god, you’re our sheep so do as you’re told, even if it makes no sense or doesn’t do any good at all. Do it or you can’t enter our new world order.” Does that sound like anything which is close to being Divine? 

Wear your Mask if you must, but you might contemplate what F word it symbolizes: Freedom or Fear.
