Legacy of the Divine Tarot
3 OF COINS: Take time during the month to do
something that you enjoy, something that you can lose yourself in. There may be many distractions coming up, so
the best thing to do is to focus on an enjoyable activity, hobby, or work that
gives you pleasure. This will be far
better than paying attention to fear-mongering news programs or
newspapers. It is ok to follow the news,
because we do need to be aware of what is going on in the world, but do not
allow it to put you into a fear-based state that you carry around with
you. Stay in a calm, peaceful state, and
this will be projected outward. You can
spread positive energy just by keeping yourself grounded and focused on peace.
THE EMPRESS: As we continue the transformation from the
Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, we will see more and more the impact of
the Divine Feminine energy, which was suppressed for so long. We are entering a time where the patriarchal
and feminine energies will balance each other.
The kind, nurturing, and supportive feelings will start coming to the
forefront as we move along our paths.
Feel this beautiful sense of helping others, providing aid when needed,
and spreading unconditional love as you go about your day. We are on the brink
of something wonderful, despite all the negative events that are occurring. Let
the Empress energy fill you, bringing you love, support, and guidance.
2 OF SWORDS: Blinders continue to be removed as we learn
more about what is truly happening in our world. Seek out the truth, being
careful to use discernment when exposed to new ideas and information. Do not be afraid of what you might learn;
sometimes the truth is hard to accept.
You may have a choice to make—blindly following what is being told through
the mainstream media, or striking out on your own, researching other sources of
information. Buddha said: “Three things
cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” We are at a point where this is truer than
ever, so we need to keep our eyes and ears open, and be willing to not believe
all that is broadcast.

Powerful Than Our Genetics

Dr. Bruce Lipton, the author of Biology of Belief and other books, explains quite clearly the true
role that genetics plays in our health.
We have been led to believe that our genes control our bodies and our
health, rather than we ourselves being in charge of our bodies, and therefore must just accept our "genetic fate" that we have
inherited from our parents.
Here are just a few highlights from his article “The Wisdom of
Your Cells”.
Ø
In his cell culturing experiments with muscle stem
cells, he found that although all the muscle cells were genetically the same,
the outcome of their growth was determined by the environment he put them in.Ø Our body is actually a community of 50 trillion living cells; health occurs when all the cells are getting along and working cooperatively together; dis-ease happens when something disrupts the relationships of the cells in the community.
Ø Every one of the body systems and functions (digestive, respiratory, reproductive, nervous, etc.) exists in each and every cell of our bodies.
Ø Researchers at first thought that genes in a DNA strand controlled only the physical body, but more study showed that genes also influenced behavior and emotion.
Ø When it was discovered that DNA copies itself and it controls the protein, the first conclusion reached was that basically our lives are controlled by DNA, and we end up being “victims” of heredity.
Ø Dr. Lipton discovered that the brain of the cell (the “controller”) is its skin or membrane—the interface of the cell and the environment. It is this functional element that controls life, leading to a most significant conclusion—we are not victims of our genes.
Ø His remarkable insight: “When we understand that genes are just respondents to the environment from the perceptions handled by the cell membrane, then we can realize that if life isn’t going well, what we have to do is not change our genes but change our perceptions” (i.e., our thoughts about what is happening around us).
Ø We can never be separated completely from our environment. “Quantum physics says the invisible energy is 100 times more efficient in conveying information than are material signals (e.g., drugs). What we are beginning to recognize is that there is an invisible world that we have not dealt with in regard to understanding the nature of our health.”
Ø This is why it is important for modern medicine to take a more holistic approach to health, recognizing that energy, though invisible, is very real. Albert Einstein said that the field, the invisible source, is the sole governing agency of the physical reality.
