The art of Taror Reading

Posted on by

There are many forms of divinations, of tapping into the realm of the unconscious mind, of knowing the archetypes of our own existence: Astrology, The Rune, Tarot, I Ching, etc.
Some seems more difficult to interpret than others but all give the same answer to the trained reader: they give insights into the present moment.

Yes, Tarot are not about future but are about the energies, situations, feelings of the present moment, the now. Will I be able to know the future ?
Yes, and no, the only thing that exist is the present, we can think of life like a never ending series of presents moments, it is here, now, where all is decided and seeded, there is not another time in which we can build our future…our present.
So, if we are in a difficult time which many turns and twists,  it will be surely of help to know the dynamics that we are facing now, in this moment, this will give us an insight into the universal consciousness so we can know what will be supported in this moment and what not. This is essential to the development of our true self, true purpose and sense of direction.

Knowing that what we have in mind now is not supported by the whole can avoid us wastage of energy pursuing something that will never work, and, on the other hand, can expose things that will work, but we are afraid to pursue and to materialize in the now for some reason.

Tarot reading is a very good place to start to discover what we really want and with an open and clear mind at our side, pursue it at the best that we can.

You can come close to this art studying by yourself or with the help of some professional that can teach you the basics, but remember that is all about your intuition, the best reader is whom is not there when is reading, just pure universal intuition.
We can say that Tarot Reading is an art, like painting for example, there is many forms of arts and this is one of them, when you are painting you are not, universe is there painting through your hands, when you read cards that’s the same you are not reading, universe is, otherwise you are only fooling yourself and your clients.

Reiki: don’t get me wrong…

Posted on by

A friend wrote me a private email about one phrase that is contained in my little “biography” present on the site info “about the teacher”, the sentence look like this:

“He found all this very interesting but it sounded to him like another game for the mind always attracted to new things and experiences.” (referred to Reiki, Astrology and Tarot)

This, she said, sound like I don’t value Reiki and the power it has in the evolution of consciousness, obviously when I wrote that, I was not meaning this interpretation but I recognize that the sentence can be easily misunderstood.
Reiki was the first thing that I met in my spiritual path, without Reiki, probably I will have never reach Astrology, Tarot and also Meditation.
What I was trying to say there is that in my experience that is valid only for me and nobody else, because we are all different and unique, and for that reason, what is good for me can be of no help or even dangerous for you, but only you can know it.

So what I was trying to say was that, what I found, was that to use, understand and appreciate all this tecniques you need a clear, still and open mind and again for me that happened with the help of meditation techniques.
Meditation opened my mind and my heart to the understanding of Reiki, Astrology and Tarot reading, all of this tecniques I’m still practicing today, and for someone, like Reiki and Tarot, I’m also sometimes doing courses and I like them very much like very useful spiritual tools.
What I’m trying to say is that with the right tools your meditation can be deeper and deeper and you consciousness can expand very fast.
But again in my experience (that can be, and certainly is, different than yours) meditation is the foundations of all the other tools and is through it that my understanding of Tarot and Reiki is deepening, and in deepening, also my meditation is, so it is like they are supporting each others in the evolutions of my consciousness.
They are all tools meant to guide you toward the discovery of yourself, but they are only tools and they will have to be left behind when you will reach your final destination so don’t stick on the tools, go for the real, know yourself, that’s all!

So for the sake of the truth I corrected the sentence in this one:

“He found all this tecniques very interesting and useful but He found also, that to properly understand and use them, mind must be clear and still and the heart open, otherwise they will be only another game for the mind and its curiosity.”

I hope that now the message is more clear than it was before (not very clear I admit).

Thank you.

Meditation: Hacking the mind, reaching the present

Posted on by

In the IT world (computer programming) we sometimes use certain “tricks” that we call “hacks” to do certain things that otherwise will be impossible or difficult to realize in the “normal” way.

For example: suppose that we are developing a certain function of a program, and for some reasons, may be because we are in a hurry, or because we have no access to the code of a certain library that we are using (usually because we didn’t create it), we can’t do the things that we need in that moment.
This is the time in which we need to find out an “hacks” (usually a “dirty” one) to do what we need without writing again that library or piece of module (that will usually be the best thing to do but it will require a huge amount of time that will surely lead to an out of budget problem).
With the help of some hacks we can bypass the problem or problems, access the things that we need, be happily in budget and let the actual code (module or library) thinks that nothing is happening or has ever happened, all is like before, from its point of view it works like before.

Why this introduction ? Well, meditation is very similar to an hack, a sort of a trick to let your mind think that nothing is changing when in reality all is.
Let say, to be in meditation is not to do a meditation technique like many if not the majority of people think, meditation is simply the state of unity with yourself that you (not really you because you are no more) reach with the help of that hacks that is the meditation technique.
Meditation techniques are “hacks” for your mind, used to bypass it, without let the mind know what is happening.
This techniques really circumvents the mind and its control over you, without let it know what is happening, especially the fact that, from that moment on, it is no more in control of things, because something greater (that is you) has taken it away, relieved it from duties.

That is of course your normal state of being where there is no past and no future, simply because there is no mind and so the things of the mind cannot exist.

If you hack well enough and long enough (and that depends on everyone) you will likely reach a point where you will need no more the hack to go inside you, where the mind has become friendly with that state because it recognize that it is good for it also, it will drop on its own accord. This is a sort of transient state in which you will happily go out and then back in from your mind, many times without you actually intending or understanding it.
If you go still on with the process, sometimes later, you will discover that now you can go in by your own decision, by your intention, this will deeper and deeper till the time in which that state will be your natural state and mind will be used only when needed.

You did all this with the help of an hack, a really dirty one (from the point of view of your mind), where mind was bypassed without its knowledge and awareness, the good thing is that now you can let go of the hack and enjoy yourself freely all the time, now in the present moment, what a joy.

Ultimately, Meditation and mediation techniques are two very different things, one is an help to reach the other and the other is really another name for yourself, what you really are, naturally, because in the end you are meditation and the purest of it.

“The mind cannot penetrate meditation; where mind ends, meditation begins. Because meditation is not an achievement — it is already the case, it is your nature.. It has not to be achieved; it has only to be recognized, it has only to be remembered. It is there waiting for you — just a turning in, and it is available. You have been carrying it always and always. The treasure has been with you but you were occupied somewhere else: in thoughts, in desires, in a thousand and one things. You were not interested in the only one thing… and that was your own being.”

Some Works

Posted on by

Dear friends,
this days out of not doing we did some renewal works, I enjoyed very much.

Basically, like you know, we got a big windowed system with view over the sea, the problem is that during the summer time (and sometimes even in winter time) the temperature of the big living room can become very hot, so, I studied with a carpenter (our friend Sauro) a way to make a wood support system to put some bamboo rolls externally.
I wanted to put them externally because in that way we can avoid direct sun on the double windows (thermal ones) and greatly reduce the internal temperature during afternoon/evening time when the sun is doing its settings on our windows :-) . This is now permitting us to enjoy the sofas in the living room even during an hot day, and for all the day, good shoot!

This is how we installed the support on the wall without touching the windows so that we have only two holes in the lateral wall, you can note the hooks for hanging the bamboo rolls that are easily removable during winter storms.

We did that also for the bedrooms:

And this is the final view of the big windows during the final setup:

We are very happy of this last accomplish out of not doing, life here will be more comfortable from now on, and also visitors will benefit from that warmer environment.

Happy holidays!

Ninth wave and Unity consciousness

Posted on by

We know from previous articles that this 9th wave will bring to Humanity the energies of the Unity consciousness but what this can mean for us and for our activities and society structures ?

Well, good point man ! From my understanding, we can’t really know in advance what will happen, we can of course try to have some good guesses.

What we know from our intuition is that during this last and most powerful wave all that is “in tune” with the Unity consciousness will be favored and strengthened and all that is “not in tune” with it will be disrupted and may be changed/destroyed.
This will surely happen in our personal life as well as in our collective life (society) and also, probably, on a planetary scale, because we are all interconnected, and unity is about interconnection, about recognizing of  being one with all that exists also with mother hearth.

We know from the dictionary about the word unity: the quality or state of not being multiple: oneness; a condition of harmony: accord; the quality or state of being made one: unification; and this beautiful: a totality of related parts: an entity that is a complex or systematic whole.

What this can mean ? Well, we can try to analyze some examples to see what can be “in tune” and what certainly is not.
Certainly all that is dividing us from each others and from nature will be “not in tune” with this wave and so not supported and destined to failure and ultimate destruction.
For example we can clearly see that our economy and monetary system were not created with unity in mind, but for division and to rule over other people (now we can begin to clearly see that this “other people” are the majority of us) so probably this system will be challenged in a great and very disruptive way.

How “bad” this challenge would be will depend on our understanding and not clinging to the old system, if we do, then, we will probably clash into it very badly, if not, the transition will be of course difficult, but certainly smooth. In nature all that need to reborn has to die first, this is a natural law and all systems must abide to it. It is also true that no forms of life want to die (self conservation) and so there will probably be a certain “resistance” on the part of the system itself to avoid or delay the inevitable.
So we will have probably a little bit of chaos and from within it the creative energy will produce a new model, if we will be of help that will be faster, better and easier, if we will not then, well, it can also fail…

Probably many other systems connected to that one and not in tune with the unity consciousness will be challenged, that’s because the “us” will be challenged to find a solution from within ourselves, thrusting in our power and intelligence that are one with the universe. So we are really challenging ourselves here with the help of external events.
The political system is another system that is now clearly not in tune with the unity consciousness, it is instead every day more disconnected from all other people and the world.

Also in our personal life we will experience changes, for example, if our work is not going toward unity we will probably lose it or we will be required to operate big changes over it to transform it and to adapt it to serve a “totality of related parts”. It can happen that many works can’t be changed so they will slowly disappear from this word, again here, our capacity to let go of it and trusting in the new, or, on the other end, to cling to it (I want to do this job, this was my job, I studied for it, etc, etc) and suffer will be tested.
Of course our clinging can also affect other people not directly involved in it, for example, suppose that we get angry, go, and destroy some cars because our job is no more, well, the owner of the car will be certainly affected without may be even knowing us personally.

It is very difficult to see how the world will be after this shower of high frequency energy, it will be certainly different, but how it will be, it is almost impossible to forecast, because it will depend on our collaboration, let go of old things and habits, understanding, acceptance, openness and trust. Let see what we will be able to begin.

My second paint

Desirelessness and “not doing”

Posted on by

My perception of this two “concepts” was, in the past, marked by many misunderstandings and wrong interpretations. Here I want to share with you my new vision about this important state of being.

Did you remember my article about painting ? Like I said, in the beginning I was very bored, painting here and there, then, after a while, something come up and did the painting, then, I come back in wonder. This is one of the case in which the phrase “everything is happening, but nothing is done” has a new meaning, and, also, the word
“desirelessness”.

So “desirelessness” is not that there are not desires and “not doing” is not that we need to stay all day on the sofa doing nothing :-) in deep laziness.
“Not doing” and desirelessness are both active terms, laziness is a passive one, but like I said they can be easily misunderstood and mixed (that was my experience).

Desirelessness is not that there are not desires, but, that there are not desires of the “I”, so really, there are many desires and you are bringing them to reality, but really you are doing nothing because in the first place, you are really not there and this is not happening from deep laziness but instead from fervent activities, the only thing is that you are not who is creating the acting, you are a passage for it, an hollow bamboo.
There has to be a strong connection/interaction  between the “I” and the existence (universe) for the desire to take place, so, for me, more than “the I is not there” I will like to say that the “I” is merged totally with the universal consciousness; and so, yes, there is not, but at the same time there is, because it is bringing that desire to the world, but in a form that, because it is totally merged, we can say that it is not.

It is like some sages that said that: we are the hands of God in this world.
We can think of it like the wave (the I) is merging in the ocean, grasping the creative force there and then be back again doing the desire of the existence (the creative action) that it grasped in the oceanic (unity with the all) stage.

We can call this process synchronicity.

“Not doing” means to be in a receptive state so we can “hear” the desires coming up from the universal consciousness (in desirelessness) and materialize them.
In doing so, it may be necessary to do some “work” (do something), or not so much, that will depend on the desire; the only thing we can be certain of, is that the most part of the work will be on the shoulder of the universe, we will have the final, decisive part, being able to bring the desire to reality. This will be the greatest fulfillment for us.

We can simplify saying that there are two “states”: the fist state is the standby (not doing state) in which we are receptive to universal desires, then it came the “doing” state, in which we grasped it (the desire) and we actually help bringing it to reality, without doing, because we are merged with the desire itself, we are one with it and with the universe who is having that desire in the present moment, the now.
We are doing it but we are empowered by the universal creative power.

The water Consciousness

Posted on by

We all have some conditioning, one of them is certainly about what is alive and what is not. Let me give you an example, many people think that animals and trees (vegetable world) are alive beings but: rocks, earth and, let say water, are death things, they can argue with you that they don’t have consciousness.

If we want to check the vocabulary about that, we will find:

alive: having life: not death or inanimate; still in existence, force or operation: active; marked by alertness, energy, a synonymous is aware.

conscious: perceiving, apprehending, personally felt; capable of thought, will or perception, awake.

This is what the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary say about this two terms.
Based on this two definitions and some help will be possible to demonstrate that water is alive and is conscious ?

The “normal” western thinking will teach us that rocks and water are death things, they will say that water can move but it will move with “helps” from other things, may be gravity, wind, rain or slope. But are we really sure that this is the truth or we can guess some other possibilities ?

One fried told me about the work of Masaru Emoto, a Japanese “water scientist” who basically discovered that, if we take some water, we expose it to something like good / bad words, music, thoughts, we froze it and the analyze it with a microscope, we will discover different crystals shapes depending on the “kind” of exposition.
So, for example, if we expose water to the word “love”, we will end up seeing a beautiful shaped crystal, on the contrary, if we expose it to a bad word, we will see a sort “chaos” in the photo.

What this means ? For me it means that water has its consciousness, let see from the definitions above: the experiments of Emoto demonstrates that water is alive because:
it is active and marked by alertness changing its shape depending on its surrounding, so it has to be by definition also aware, and more, due to the fact that it is actually reacting to our presence and our negative / positive energy, it is perceiving, personally feeling things and so surely awake.

We can see that, may be, our conceptions of consciousness and aliveness can be a little outdated, with false concepts and conditioning, it is possible that we are discovering again truths that for many ancients civilizations were very clear and simple, let’s say logic, the logic conclusion of observation of things like they are.
So, next time you will drink a glass of water, think about it, and, may be, thank it for calming your thirst, you will be surely drinking another kind of fluid, a loving one instead of an unshaped or worst, bad shaped one.

Be praised, My Lord, through Sister Water;
she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure.

Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth,
who feeds us and rules us,
and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs.

I remind you that if you want to deepen you information about the water consciousness you can visit Emoto Web site.
