Ramblings

Comments by Patrick

We seek a peaceful environment, or so we say. Are we really looking for peace, or are we looking for having our way without hassles? It's a question which, if you will be honest with yourself and ask it of yourself, might reveal some answers you don't want to know about. I can only ask and answer of myself, but I find that if I go inside myself in meditation, I will get truthful answers. They may not be what my ego wants to hear, but they do not beat around the bush, and I am a better person for finding the truth.

Want to try something?

While in a meditative state, pick up a pencil with your non-dominant hand. Sit comfortably with a piece of paper before you. Ask a question in your mind and allow your hand to form the letters. Don't worry if it doesn't happen the first time, but try it every time you can. Soon you will find that you are writing long answers in a different "voice" than you normally use. In other words the phrasing and words will seem to come from someone else.

A spell that works when you are caught in traffic and are impatient. Say it aloud, if you are in a situation where you won't feel embarrassed, but you can chant it under your breath quietly.

This is the world of the Goddess.
Now is the time of the Goddess
I am a child of the Goddess
The Goddess is in charge and all is in divine order.

Say it over and over and relax and let it happen. You will feel relieved and quite often the situation will alleviate itself.

If I can a person be
If I can a spirit be
If I can send help to one
Then I can say my work be done.

I hope this is helpful.

Blessed Be,
Patrick
