“In June the bush we call
alder was heavy, listless,
its leaves studded with galls,
growing wherever we didn’t

Inner Journey:
DIRECT YOUR EVOLUTION
“Consciousness is the basis of all life and the field of all possibilities. Its nature is to expand and unfold its full potential. The impulse to evolve is thus inherent in the very nature of life.”
— Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Unlike other species, human beings can monitor our own evolutionary process. Better yet, we have the awareness and power to design our evolutionary path.
As creators, we are not limited to evolving through tiny, incremental steps. With our potent imaginations, we can design and manifest dramatic, profound change. How remarkable! What an awesome responsibility. What fun!
Our challenge is to break free of our present concept of reality to create brand new dreams that will bring the ideal to life.
“There is only one thing more powerful than all the armies of the world, that is an idea whose time has come.”
— Victor Hugo
“We lie in the lap of immense intelligence.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

A Note from the Universe
First close your eyes and think of the magic. Its unlimited power. Its inescapable presence in your life.
See it bending and banking and rolling all around you. Inhale it. Exhale it. Feel it beating your heart, massaging your back, and tickling your toes; reaching out from the center of your being to every person on the planet, and beyond to every star in the heavens.
Then, intermingled with these thoughts, remember the sole reason it exists is to serve you. So see it doing just that, as images from the life of your dreams parade before your mind’s eye.
Hallelujah,
The Universe

Today’s Tarot: Friday The Fool
This is one of those days when everything is up in the air and you doubt that you could do much even if you tried. Nonetheless, things can go well when some unexpected good luck comes your way. Your carefree attitude can attract some unexpected help to keep you going and to make things interesting if not fun. Uncertainty can be inspiring in its own way.
