As many I-Ching, Astrology, or Tarot users have experienced, the "Message" is often as clear as fog, and wisdom is generated from struggling with its various potential meanings and indications.

It's about harmonizing with the tides of creation, the emergent patterns of nature and sprit.

The deepest things you need are not elsewhere. They are here and now in that ciecle of your own soul. - JohnO'Donohue
This is a very valuable experience because one of our main problems as individuals and as a society is that we are trying to live our lives with only half of our awareness, which is the awareness of the rational mind. We try to rule and direct our lives using that part alone. This is like being always out of balance, we are always expecting something with the rational mind, that life is going to bring us a different challenge, and we find ourselves again and again in a place where the results are so different from our expectations that the rational mind tries to deal with it and finds it can't do it in a really balanced way.
Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you.
Perhapes the spiritual mind could be used as the directional inspiration, a compass pointing the course at that moment, an infinite guidance. And the rational mind could be used as a connector to put together the inspiration and the materials available to move you on your way.
Remain open, flexible, and curious.
The spititual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he was not. It consists of increasing one's awareness concerning one's self and life, and the growth of that awareness which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is comming to one's self.
Somewhere, deep within each of us, is a call to purpose. It's not always rational, not always clear, maybe with out obvious connection, but the knowing is there.

Take charge of your attitude, don't let someone else choose it for you.
For most people, we put the rational mind at the top of human experience, like it's the most important thing. If we want to live in the rational mind, allow it to rule as an idea of "Me", then the other side, the silent knowledge, is going to be harder to sense. So knowledge from the rational mind takes us to a place of no balance. The rational mind takes just a little part of the whole process and only knows fragments of it's own formulations. We can create incredible castles of ideas and words, but what happens when the silence comes? What experience remains? I'm talking about the fact that there is an experience which is called the silent knowledge, and when you really grasp something which you are really needing to heal in your life, it comes from the silence. How many of those people, how many of those big masters, are going to be able to do their thing without words, without explanations? Don't explain things. They just do it, move with centered confidence. That's the one very special quality, and that's a faster and clearer way to learn.
A Master teaches essence. When the essence is perceived, he teaches what is necessary to expand the perception. The Master does not speak of gravity until the student stands in wonder at the flower petals falling to the ground. . . He does not speak of mathematics until the student says, "There must be a way to express this more simply." In this way the Master dances with his student. The Master does not teach, but the student learns. The Master always begins at the center, at the heart of the matter.
Never underestimate the power of love and forgiveness.
Sometimes we get to the point where we think about liberating ourselves, improving our personal growth, and this kind of process is always perceived at the human level as experience. Not so much a "Thinking" or rational mind process. Even psychology is so centered in the rational mind, in the individual. What happens in the actual experience is the opposite. Everything is a process where all the Powers are participating. You can try to improve yourself and you can actually do that, but not many people get to the level where they have the entire universe participate in what they're doing.
What is word knowledge? But a shadow of wordless knowledge.
Everyone seems to want answers that are words they understand. "I have no answer for you. I am just a man. I can lie to you, and how would you know if I am lying to you? Go and look for your own answers. Ask your Inner Spirit, the only one that can answer your questions. But do not expect words for the answer."
The undertones and connotations concerning how to love unreservedly, can take you to challenges that can remove the ideas that block it.
Oh Beauty ever ancient, ever new. You were inside me, and I was out of my body and mind looking for you. I drove like an ugly madman against the beautiful things and beings you made. You were inside me, but I was not inside you. - St. Augustine
Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures.
Just as we tend to assume that the world is as we think we see it, we naively suppose that people are as we imagine them to be. . . In this way everyone creates a series of imaginary relationships based essentially on projection.
Have the freedom to do what you are needing for your life in that specific moment. That's going to be your task. This is just an instance, it could be any kind of limitation, something which is blocking your life, and you need to overcome it. That's the freedom you are looking for. Once you get there, freedom is going to be something different. You are going to look at the new face of freedom, and you are gong to embrace it, and that's how we move, that's how we walk. Pursuing freedom, and the freedom is always changing in front of our eyes.
Practice empathy, try to see things from other peoples point of view.
If I were you, I'd listen to my "Inner Voice", the small voice of the spirit center. Pay less attention to the your inner loud voice (mental analysis), that makes you angry. Listen to that deeper small voice that will guide you.
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but it is the lightning that does the work.
It's about paying attention to what comes to you, because your ultimate decider is in your heart center and what you experience. And that's how it always really comes down, if you're paying attention. Be calm, reflective, alert, awake, aware, and receptive. Try something new, maybe unconventional or creative. Lighten up, feel the joy. Be aware of what you're paying attention to. Sense guidance from above, within, your center.
Often the inner small voice will tell us things that are not something we can "Understand" in our everyday way of understanding, our acustomed way of thinking. We must find another way to sense or interpret it's direction. If we think of the inner small voice as a guide, it may be that we can not see it well, or if we can get some of what it shows us, we may not know what it's symbols stand for, as if the guide directions were in a foreign language. You can not be rational with things that can't not rationalized, like the small voice of the spirit. But you can get "light" to see this guide, and ways to understand the foreign language of it's symbols, if you stop trying to "figure it out", and let the knowing lead you to things your rational mind could have never thought. The inner small voice will always give you something you can use, however the challenge of using non-rational methods to "understand" this small voice may be as important as what the small voice may be telling you.
The answer my friend is blowin in the wind, the answer is blowin in the wind.
Lie on your back and look at the stars.
Becoming more aware is everyone's life quest. There are so many aspects to human awareness, that as a child you grow and have experience, becoming more aware. To become more aware of your "Human" self and it's tendencies, and then to become more aware of "Not" self.
Reality stands before you, yet you don't see it, because what you call real is just the mirror image of your expectations. You project the same images eyerywhere you go. They blind you, they keep ypu chained to the past, but your greatest fear is that one day the mirror will show you reality. . . Reality is simply "What Is". Reality is the thing right in frount of your nose, pressing so close that there is no room to miss it. But you do miss it, because all you see is what you think should be there.
Everyone creates the world they preceive, and we will all preceive according to impressions formed in the past.
A faint swirling sensation of energy. This energy is your own mind beginning to pay attention. When attention is perfect, it is a point, like a diamond.
Everything around you is Intelligent Light. Light, , it is all Light. The Light is all, and in the Light there is only one thing - eternal life, which can not be created or destroyed. Light is to be played with and shaped, which is the joy of our existance. It is also joy to pierce the illusion and find the wellspring of creative power.
