The Rambling Locksmith by Lisa Tsuchiya

Lisa Tsuchiya offered Tarot readings at our recent "Gathering of Community" on August 24th in Los Altos, California. That gathering marked the first time I met Lisa. After the event, she shared her blog about tarot with me. I was deeply impressed by the thoroughness of her approach to tarot.

When ones stumbles upon brilliance and an openness to share, you feel the need to share. (Thank you Lisa T. for this recommendation.) This is how I felt when I came upon the website, Youtube videos, and blog of Benebell Wen as I was researching tarot and the I Ching.

Edgar Cayce and Life Beyond Earth
Our lives on other celestial planets... on 09/18/2024

Edgar Cayce and Life Beyond Earth

Edgar Cayce, often referred to as the "Sleeping Prophet," provided many readings that touched on the existence and nature of life beyond Earth. According to Cayce, other planets within our solar system do host life, but not in the form typically understood by humans. His readings suggested that life exists in different forms that may be beyond our current understanding and perception, possibly existing in different dimensions or states of matter that are not necessarily physical as we know it.

Did these writings predict these days?

Did these writings predict these days?

These sources—Nostradamus, The Book of Revelation, and the Mayan calendar—have long been interpreted as predicting major world events or cataclysms. Nostradamus’ quatrains, the apocalyptic visions of Revelation, and the cycles of the Mayan calendar have sparked much debate and speculation about their meanings and their relevance to current times.

The Enneagram and Mary Magdalene
Roger Morimoto on 08/25/2024

The Enneagram and Mary Magdalene

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene describes the "7 Powers," or challenges, that individuals must confront if they are to grow spiritually. The 7 powers morphed into the "7 Deadly Sins" of the desert Christian monks of the 4th Century. (Meggan Watterson) A century later, a desert monk, John Cassian consecrates the cave where Mary Magdalene eventually settles and lives in the south of France.

Many Christianities...

Many Christianities...

The process of compiling the current version of the bible, the one you would find, say, in the bedside table of a hotel room, was guided by the need for a unified version of Christianity. In the wake of Christ, there were many “Christianities,” there were many communities with varying ideas about what or who had just walked the earth.

Beyond "Provincialism"
Roger Morimoto on 08/06/2024

Beyond "Provincialism"

The concept of past lives offers a broad, transformative perspective on human existence, emphasizing the continuity of the soul's journey across multiple lifetimes. This belief can foster a sense of universal connection and shared destiny, reducing prejudices and promoting empathy by highlighting the diverse roles and circumstances each soul may have experienced. It encourages ethical behavior through the idea of karma, where actions have long-term consequences on the soul’s evolution. Additionally, reflecting on past lives can deepen self-awareness and appreciation for various cultures and histories, considering one might have been part of them. This broader viewpoint can diminish the fear of death, seeing it as a transition rather than an end, and promote a more integrated, holistic view of life. Overall, the idea of past lives can significantly shift personal and societal attitudes, leading to greater inclusivity and understanding.

The Enneagram - More Than Pop Psychology

Gurdjieff taught that the Enneagram symbolized a journey for individuals to transcend certain "blocks" that maintained them in a state of automatic reaction to external stimuli, rather than living as fully conscious beings. Interestingly, for Gurdjieff, the awakening to consciousness began not with thought but through the body, using movement to disrupt entrenched neurological pathways. These practices evolved into what are now known as Gurdjieff’s Dance Movements, which continue to be practiced worldwide.

Jesus's Astrological Birth Chart

Most people know December 25th is NOT the actual birth date of Jesus because the Church adopted it in the 4th century as Emporer Constantine gathered all the bishops together to try to bring unity with Christians among themselves and with the Roman Pagan religions that honored the winter solstice.

Enneagram and Motivation
The Enneagram and Motivation on 07/15/2024

Enneagram and Motivation

The Enneagram is a model for how energy flows in our reality. It is described by the geometric relationship between numbers 1 through 9. It describes the energetic flow as a spiral moving in both directions. The spiral galaxy is a macroscopic example, and the model of the atom is a microscopic example. In between is us, human beings. In us, the enneagram describes "how we move" in the world. In other words, what "motivates" us? What gets us to move and do the things we do?
