Spirit Library: Voyage into the Unknown (a message from Kate Spreckley)
So far it has been an intense year with many sudden and unexpected changes. The landscape of our lives is shifting, changing the direction of our life, our we perceive ourselves, others and our place in this world. For some this process is liberating and empowering and for others it is painful and confusing

Daily Good: Oriah Mountain Dreamer: The Call
“I have heard it all my life. A voice calling a name I recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft-bellied whisper.Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency. But always it says: Wake up, my love. You are walking asleep.
There’s no safety in that! Remember what you are, and let a deeper knowing color the shape of your humanness. There is nowhere to go. What you are looking for is right here.” Oriah Mountain Dreamer shares more in this beautiful poem. { read more }

Daily Dream Meaning: Flying
1. The dreamer’s basic ambition, drive, goals, and dreams. If the dreamer is flying like a bird, then he can accomplish his goals almost on his own. If the dreamer is flying in an airplane, or other sort of airship, he will need assistance. If the weather around him is turbulent, the path to success will be rocky and strewn with obstacles. If it is clear, the path ahead should be straightforward and easily traveled. If others are flying with him, he needs to gather the support of others in order to attain his goal.
Astrological parallel: Uranus.
Tarot parallel: The World.
2. A harbinger of a happy time in the dreamer’s life – as if she is “flying high.”
Astrological/Tarot parallel: The Sun.

MNN: Shhh! This is the first ‘quiet park’ in the world
Ecuador may have a new tourism jingle. But they don’t want anyone to actually sing it.
Indeed, the country’s latest national park is built on the mantra that silence is golden. The South American country has become the first in the world to build a “quiet park,” a lush stretch of land straddling the Zabalo River where silence is protected like a natural resource.

AWARENESS
“Relative to the level of awareness that is possible for us, our ordinary state of consciousness is as far from a direct experience of reality as sleep is from waking consciousness.”
— Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson
“The thought ‘I exist’ is not the same thing as the awareness of one’s own existence. … Thought is not the same thing as consciousness.”
— Jacob Needleman
A person asked Buddha:
“Are you a God?”
Buddha’s reply was
“No.”
“Are you an Angel?”
“No.”
“Then what are you?”
“I am Awake.”

Daily Wisdom

Mystery
“The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.”
-Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
This is a big concept. The invisible could be love, for example. Is that so mysterious? Love just “is.” We know it, we feel it, we treasure it. We can count on it; it doesn’t go away. But the visible, that can be transitory. We can ask, what is its purpose? What is our relationship to it? If we can accept the invisible as reality, we can look at the visible in another light. So, what is real? That is the mystery!
-Lissa Coffey

Daily Tarot: Temperance
Temperance is a card that symbolizes moderation, so if you’ve been indulging a bit too much in your love life, it’s time to tone things down. You don’t have to show a lot charisma, wit, and sex appeal to prove that you have substance. Do what’s necessary to obtain that elusive balance in your love life. No effort, no matter how small, goes unrewarded.
