The Highway Shaman Spirit Reading

for May 16, 2020

Note: Every morning I shuffle and draw random cards from my three decks. Today I drew the “Grace” card, saying I would be receiving a spiritual gift. Then I drew the Osho Zen card “Healing,” one of 108 cards. I wrote down the quote from the Zen book word for word, which said, “under the healing influence of the King of Water.” 

I then drew from the 108 card Good Tarot deck: that card was “The King of Water.”  What are the mathematical chances I would draw that particular card? The truth . . . my Spirit Guides always direct the shuffle for the correct cards to appear. Every single time.

This Gift lead to my writing “Receiving Spiritual Gifts” below.

The Elements Tarot:

GRACE: Receiving spiritual and material gifts. Influence of positive forces. A gift of God. 

REVERSED: Fundamental resistance to receiving. Deep seated feelings of un worthiness.

Osho Zen Tarot:

HEALING: Just for 24 hours, try it – Total Acceptance, whatever happens. Someone insults you, accept it, don’t react, and see what happens. Suddenly you will feel an energy flowing in you that you have not felt before. You cannot touch a man of Tao. Why? Because there is no one to be touched. There is no wound. He is healthy, healed, whole.

“When we are under the healing influence of the King of Water we are no longer hiding from ourselves and others. In this attitude of openness and acceptance we can be healed, and help others to be healthy and whole.”

The Good Tarot:

KING OF WATER –  Generous, diplomatic, fair, gentle, a good listener, nonjudgmental peacemaker, 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.”

RECEIVING SPIRITUAL GIFTS

Every morning, I spend time with my Spirit Guides, in prayer and connecting through the veil, with these readings. In a previous blog, I wrote that every one of us, each and every human on earth, has at least two Spirit Guides, always with us day and night. 

Well . . . that’s partially true. If you were able to see beyond the veil, from this dense 3rd Dimensional reality into the 4th dimension and beyond, you’d be blown away. Hovering all around us, at our beck and call, are not only our two Spirit Guides, helping us to live our Life Purpose, but other invisible beings, including representatives of our 4th dimensional thoughts. All the fabled creatures from hell are there too, if you so desire. Likewise, you can move beyond the 3rd and 4th dimensions and call on 5th dimensional and above angels, archangels, Ascended Christ Masters like Jesus, Saints, God, the Galactic Federation masters and so on. They are right here at the blink of an eye, every moment. 

That truth will seem impossible when our pragmatic scientific mind is sure we’re stuck within the boundaries of third dimensional space and time. And yet, once you’ve connected with those who live in dimensions above the 3D; there is No Doubt of holographic, fractal multi-dimensional existence. Then we realize it’s the human egoic mind which restricts “time and space;” keeping us from experiencing our full potential.

For thousands of years people could speculate about the existence of atoms. They are invisible to the human eye. It wasn’t until the invention of the electron microscope that man could actually see an atom. Once you see it, it can’t be unseen. Even then people will say since they can’t see it, an atom doesn’t exist. This is the same with seeing beyond 3D reality.

In other words, the unseen multidimensions of reality are REAL. Throughout history there have been living Shamans and Saints who see into these other dimensions. They will tell you, as I am now, if you want the wise counsel, compassion and love of Jesus, all you need to do is think Jesus and he’s there; think God, and a benevolent creator God is there. Think Buddha, Krishna, and Archangel Michael, and they are right here . . . right now, beside you, ready to answer your prayer.

Our lives are only limited, restricted, and incomplete when we think in terms of 3D.

Each of us is a multi-dimensional being in a human body. Understanding the truth of that statement is what makes us a God or Goddess on Earth.

My prayer it that each person recognizes they are a God/Goddess on Earth, and to make higher dimensional choices while living this 3d physical body experience.

The Highway Shaman Spirit Readings

for May 15, 2020

The Elements Tarot:

THE LEADER: Pursuing an objective which influences others and brings them under your direction. Accepting responsibility. 

Today’s reading was reversed.

REVERSED: The psychic influence of your mind and thoughts on others. Your influence on the one mind. Also your reflection in those around you. 

Osho Zen Tarot:

REBIRTH: Things come and go. You become young, you become old, you are alive, you are dead. All these states are simply reflections in an eternal pool of consciousness.

“Whatever the space you’re in right now – sleepy and depressed, or roaring and rebellious – be aware that it will evolve into something new if you allow it. It is a time of growth and change.”

The Good Tarot:

PAGE OF EARTH: Commitment to prosperity, first signs of tangible success, undeniable evidence that hard work will pay off, dreams grounded to reality, start a new project.

“Everything starts with a plan, and I am beginning to see results generate prosperity. I am a doer, and I get to make my own decisions. I have the ability to attract what I need.”

Judith Orloff:

INTENTION OF THE DAY: Avoid small talk and find ways to do what’s comfortable.

Tribe of the Heart

(Part One – 35 to 44)

In 1995 I became an Ordained Minister and Diplomat of Earth Stewardship, a member of Linda Masterson’s Tribe of the Heart. I was given Multi-Dimensional Relationship Guidelines, created by The Alive Tribe. In the past days I’ve been thinking about my relationships; the ones I wish to hold on to, totally commit to, and the one’s I feel I must let go of. So today I wish to present the next 10 of the 54 Guidelines.

1. I do not want relationships with someone who does not love and respect me or want me in their life. I do not need to judge them for their choice.
2. Denial needs love acceptance also. If I offer someone in denial love and acceptance, I can feel if they accept it or not. If they do not, it is not appropriate for me to stay in their presence.
3. I choose not to participate in relational drama. I am sober in relationships and I do not become part of other people’s problems.
4. Expressing my will, aligning with my Spirit, and telling the truth keeps me from relational experience that I do not want.
5. Healing and restoring my relationship with God is essential for success in all my other relationships.
6. I realize that whenever sexual energy is exchanged, everything in the energy field is exchanged and amplified.
7. Original families are not necessarily those Mose intimate to me. Only I can decide this. As denial and avoidance are released, this earth will change.
8. I will not pressure myself to accept energy, behavior, or anything else from someone, when it does not feel good to me.
9. I accept everyone’s right to exist in their appropriate place, time, relationship and form.
10. I am open to supportive requests, recognitions, and suggestions, without allowing anyone over-ride my will, and without needing to defend myself.

for May 13, 2020

HESITATION (Elements Tarot) Holding back, uncertainty. Not owning your power. Constriction in the power chakra.

PLAYFULNESS (Osho Zen Tarot) –  Zen has dropped out of the serious world. It has created a world of its own which is very playful, full of laughter, even where great masters behave like children.

“When the Page of Fire enters your life, it is a sign you are ready for the fresh and the new. Something wonderful is just on the horizon, and you have just the right quality of playful innocence and clarity to welcome it with open arms.”

SIX OF FIRE (The Good Tarot) –  Stepping into the limelight, being an enlightened influencer.

“I generously model my transformation so that others might be inspired. I put my light atop a hill so it can shine forth, helping others to find their way. I remain aware of shadows and people who have trouble basking in the warm light of higher awareness. I bless them but do not dim my own beacon. It’s time to renew my trust that I am contributing to the highest good of all in my own unique way.”

INTENTION FOR THE DAY  (Judith Orloff)

“As a form of self-care, I will practice a shielding visualization when I am with stressful people. I can still care about someone and also shield myself from their negativity.”

The Highway Shaman Wisdom Reading

for May 12, 2020

FOCUS: (Elements Tarot) – Centeredness, attentiveness. Ability to isolate awareness in order to perceive or evaluate information or energy.

COURAGE (Osho Zen Tarot)  The path of man is arduous. 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.”

FIVE OF WATER (The Good Tarot) – Releasing grief, allowing sadness to arise and fall, forgiveness, the ebb and flow of emotion.

“I feel the fulness of my emotions as they wash through me. The ebb and flow are part of life, and I am present in my feelings today. I fully forgive myself and others and and let go of any emotions that were holding me back from acknowledging the truth. I deserve the freedom that come from when I release what is no longer working for me. I make amends to those I may have harmed when emotions was coloring my perceptions. I surrender any resentments to the divine, knowing they can be transformed into miracles. Fearless inventories lead to liberation.”

INTENTION  OF THE DAY (Judith Orloff)

“I will construct my own creative story. I will specify, ‘I want to create . . . ‘ then fill in the truth of what my heart tells me.”

AQUARIAN GOSPEL

Heaven is not far away;

And is not a place of metes and bounds,

It is not a country to reached; it is a state of mind.

God never made a heaven for man;

He never made a hell;

We are creators and we make our own.

Now, cease to seek heaven in the sky;

Just open up the windows of your hearts, and,

Like a flood of light,

A heaven will come and bring a boundless joy;

Then toil will be no cruel task.

SPIRITUAL DIMENSIONS (Elements Tarot) – Inner planes. Experience of other dimensions. Channeling. Communication with higher forces. Psychic powers.  

TRUST (Osho Zen Tarot) – Don’t waste your life for that which is going to be taken away. Trust LIfe !!

“There is a tremendous sense of exhilaration if we can take the jump and move into the unknown, even if the idea scares us to death.”

NINE OF FIRE (The Good Tarot) – Caution, uncertainty; reevaluating circumstances.

“I need to stop, wait, look around me before proceeding farther. My sense of uncertainty is my inner wisdom telling me to bring illumination into m situation; to allow insightes to arise and guide me before I take my next step. Questioning is good! I will look carefully to see if a different path may be right for me at this point.”

SET YOUR INTENTION (Judith Orloff) Let go of Mother.

Descartes on Doubt

For even when painters try to depict sirens and satyrs with the most extraordinary bodies, they simply jumble up the limbs of different kinds of real animals, rather than inventing natures that are entirely new. If they do succeed in thinking up something completely fictitious and unreal—not remotely like anything ever seen before—at least the colors used in the picture must be real. Similarly, although these general kinds of things— eyes, head, hands and so on—could be imaginary, there is no denying that certain even simpler and more universal kinds of things are real. These are the elements out of which we make all our mental images of things—the true and also the false ones. These simpler and more universal kinds include body, and extension; the shape of extended things; their quantity, size and number; the places things can be in, the time through which they can last, and so on.

So it seems reasonable to conclude that physics, astronomy, medicine, and all other sciences dealing with things that have complex structures are doubtful; while arithmetic, geometry and other studies of the simplest and most general things—whether they really exist in nature or not—contain something certain and indubitable. For whether I am awake or asleep, two plus three makes five, and a square has only four sides. It seems impossible to suspect that such obvious truths might be false.

However, I have for many years been sure that there is an all-powerful God who made me to be the sort of creature that I am. How do I know that he hasn’t brought it about that there is no earth, no sky, nothing that takes up space, no shape, no size, no place, while making sure that all these things appear to me to exist?

Some people would deny the existence of such a powerful God rather than believe that everything else is uncertain. Let us grant them—for purposes of argument—that there is no God, and theology is fiction. On their view, then, I am a product of fate or chance or a long chain of causes and effects. But the less powerful they make my original cause, the more likely it is that I am so imperfect as to be deceived all the time—because deception and error seem to be imperfections.

Having no answer to these arguments, I am driven back to the position that doubts can properly be raised about any of my former beliefs. I don’t reach this conclusion in a flippant or casual manner, but on the basis of powerful and well thought-out reasons. So in future, if I want to discover any certainty, I must withhold my assent from these former beliefs just as carefully as I withhold it from obvious falsehoods.

The Highway Shaman Wisdom Reading for May 10, 2020

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

HEIGHT (Elements Tarot) – Attainment. Wisdom. Success. Action directed by inner guidance.

THE DREAM  (Osho Zen Tarot) –  If you watch man, if you watch yourself deeply, you will be surprised – all your activities can be reduced to one single source. The source is that you are afraid of your aloneness. Everything else is just an excuse. The real cause is that you find yourself very alone.

“Real love comes not from trying to solve our neediness by depending on another, but by developing our own inner richness and maturity.”

TWO OF FIRE (The Good Tarot) – Creative planning for the future, mapping progress, trusting in the unknown, spirit inspired ambition.

“Whenever I can’t see how my dreams will coalesce into form, I can trust the process of co-creation and engage more deeply in the process of envisioning something new. I have already started to make progress, and soon my passion will attract the perfect situation for me. The light of Spirit helps me to see my and and feel the Universe aligning to bring me what I need.”

SET YOUR INTENTION (from Judith Orloff). Mother’s Day

“Today I will honor the feminine in myself and in all mothers throughout time, including Mother Earth. I will bet the feminine reconnect me with my body and the Earth.”

TIME

You would measure time the measureless and immeasurable.

You would adjust your conduct and even direct

The course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.

Of time you would make a stream upon whose

Bank you would sit and watch the flowing.

Yet the timeless in you is aware of Life’s timelessness,

And knows that yesterday is but today’s memory

And tomorrow is today’s dream.

And that that which sings and contemplates in you

Is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment

That scattered the stars into space.

Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless,

Encompassed within the centre of his being,

And moving not from love thought to love thought,

Nor from love reads to love reads?

But if in your thoughts you must measure time in seasons,

Let each season encircle all the other seasons,

And let today embrace the past with remembrance

And the future with longing.

Kahlil Gibran

“I am capable of strong friendships which inspire me and encourage me to express myself in my own way. I co-create with others, dedicated to a vision of achieving the highest good of all. How might I join the dance of co-creation, letting spirit flow through me and inspire me to express my passion.”

The Highway Shaman Wisdom Reading for May 8, 2020

VEHICLE (R) Elements Tarot – “Using a specific idea or resource to focalize and direct energy to empower and influence connected elements. A thought held clearly in focus. Focal point.”

COMPARISON (Osho Zen Tarot)  “The way to find out who you are is not by comparing yourself with others, but by looking to see whether you are fulfilling you own potential in the best way you know how.”

“Nobody is higher and nobody is lower, nobody is superior, nobody inferior. Everybody is incomparably unique.”

TWO OF EARTH (Good Tarot) – Pleasurable work, adaptability, balance between work and play.

“My efforts bring me joy. Play and work are not separate, because what I am doing is actually fun. If conditions change, I can switch gears easily. I am present in the excitement of creativity and am eager to experience the surprises that occur when seeds I have planted take root, sprout and develop in unexpected ways. This is a time for flexibility and trust in how the universe will shape what is coming into being. One way or another, my dreams with manifest in the material world.

SET YOUR INTENTION (from Judith Orloff)

“I know that opinions are subjective. I won’t give too much credence to other people’s opinions unless they offer some wisdom I’d like to apply.”

Even with what you read here – take what is of value to you and then say “Thanks for sharing,” and let whatever doesn’t ring true go.

PRAYER

Personal sharing by the Highway Shaman

I have been thinking about the power of prayer. I’m fascinated by the little answers. Like each morning I shuffle my cards and ask for the “Highest Thought” for the day. Each and every morning I’m so pleased with the answer to that tiny prayer. For instance, the Elements card I pulled this morning = Vehicle re. how prayers are answered. I’ll talk about that . . .

I’ve found that the answer to my prayers comes from having “No Doubt.” I have no doubt that each morning the tarot reading is perfect; it’s a simple innocent thing I do. And it goes well beyond that. Any prayer with a pure and innocent intention, as opposed to a “needy” prayer, inevitably works.  For instance, on March 19th, 2020, as the shutdown was beginning, I was living near downtown Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. My rent was due that very day, but with the lockdown I knew Cabo wasn’t the place for me to be. I wasn’t in fear; I simply would rather be in a gated place outside of a big city. So, my prayer was to be guided to the right place to ride out this storm. It wasn’t a needy prayer. I had no idea where that “better place” would be or how I could get there. I had a choice to either pay the Cabo apartment rent or move out. But to where?  Price was a factor. Only a miracle would get me out of the city in one day. (to a house in the country, in a gated compound, for under $700 a month)

When I went to pay my rent and stay in Cabo, the landlord told me her renter in Todos Santos (where I always wanted to live) unexpectedly left the day before, and I could move in for $650 a month. It was Friday and I could move in on Sunday, and my son had a ticket to leave Mexico on Monday. A miracle with perfect timing.

The “Vehicle” (below) with an unrealistic dream – that the perfect house for me to be isolated in for several months would just appear out of the blue. I love it here and have had so much fun writing, making jewelry and drawing, which is my retirement work. And with the Judith Orloff passage: it really doesn’t matter what anyone thinks – My Life is the answer to My Prayers, just as yours is. I pray that this day finds you happy and fulfilled and that your dream has or is coming true.

MY DRAWINGS

I’m a life-long artist. During this time of isolation, I’ve been making necklaces, which you can see on my Art/Necklace page, and have allowed a new portfolio of drawings to come through me. I’m always surprised when beings like this one come out. “oh, hello.” It is the same process I used for my many years as a shaman Mask maker. (turquoise words are hot links). With clay there was no planning out, sketching and then making. I would simply allow the being to appear, and never try to alter the image to “look human.” I can copy, but my art has always been free form; “allowing it to flow through.”
