Owen Waters
Karma is very different from what most people think it is. There is no mysterious accountant in the sky keeping track of your karmic balance. The Law of Karma is created by a combination of two of the three underlying primary universal laws of Creation.

APRIL 15, 2021 BY ASTREA TAYLOR

Inner Journey: THE KEY TO CREATIVITY
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
— Albert Einstein
Do you know the key to creativity?
It rhymes with weed. It produces the oak tree. We often eat it or grind it up for flour. It can mean cause or origination. You guessed it. It is SEED.
Our minds love to associate one thing to another. But as we get stuck in very fixed patterns of thinking, we think of fewer and fewer connections. We are ruled by habits, associations and automatic responses. So we must stimulate our thinking with lots ofdifferent seeds to chart new paths in our brains.
“Just as our eyes need light in order to see, our minds need ideas in order to conceive.”
— Napoleon Hill
“Anyone can look for fashion in a boutique or history in a museum. The creative explorer looks for history in a hardware store and fashion in an airport.”
— Robert Wieder

A Note from the Universe
Have you noticed? I mean, isn’t your entire life proof?
One day you’re scrimping, the next you’re in the money.
One day you’re lonely, the next you have friends.
Lost, then found. Ill, then well. Low, then high.
And with hindsight, it becomes ever so clear that the only thing that ever really changed was your thinking.
You so have this –

Peace
“Love is not a doctrine. Peace is not an international agreement. Love and Peace are beings who live as possibilities in us.”
-Mary Caroline Richards, (Centering, 1964)
This time of year, and particularly this year, I find myself thinking more about peace, and about peace on earth. If we are correct, and it all begins with each of us, then it is more important than ever to find peace within ourselves. We all know how to find that peace through our spiritual practices. So, practice, practice, practice! And then bring that beautiful peace out into the world where it is so needed.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Hanged Man
Things may not be going the way you like, but this is no time to give up. Whatever went wrong yesterday or last year is no excuse to stop trying to make things right. Be honest with yourself and do what you can to at least not make matters worse. There’s nothing that can’t be forgiven, repaired or replaced. Keep the faith and keep going.
