Inner Journey:
NEED TO LET GO OF CONTROL?
“The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.”
— Henry Miller
Ego believes that it needs to protect us from external dangers. Through control and manipulation, it aims to keep us safe. This need of ego is based in fear.
If we hope to live in love, we must become acquainted with soul. Experiencing soul brings a deep knowing that this is a loving universe. Experiencing soul also builds faith. We learn to trust that we don’t have to run the show. And when we do this, we tap the source of true freedom and joy.
“It is not action or effort that we must surrender; it is self-will, and this is terribly difficult. You must do your best constantly, yet never allow yourself to become involved in whether things work out the way you want.”
— Eknath Easwaran
“True spiritual surrender responsibly opens itself to the unknown.”
— Stephen V. Doughty

A Note from the Universe
Dreams are like that… Most of the time you don’t even know how close you are until after they’ve come true.
Sometimes, even, the very day before they come true, it still feels like they’re a million miles away.
Something to remember.
Tallyho,
The Universe

Today’s Tarot: Wednesday Justice
A past wrong against you might be set right today. It’s important that you give others a fair chance and don’t automatically discount what they have to say or offer. You don’t need to satisfy everyone but you do need to make the effort to let them have their say and their moment to contribute. Be confident and don’t feel threatened by anything.
Today’s Tarot Thursday The Empress
Everything you touch or talk about today is going to get bigger, so be careful with your words and actions. While today will be easygoing and agreeable, a few days from now something you set in motion today may come back in a bigger form. Watch out for exaggeration, even about good things. Go light on the flattery, and even sincere compliments, since it all may become grander than you intend.
