~ On virtue and the present moment ~

~ On the Present Moment and Virtue ~

I withdraw into the quiet space of being. My body relaxes, my mind clears. I am all present in this moment.

I explore the universe within. Each virtue is a gift, and I have been cultivating them for many years. Yet I have not even scratched the surface of what is possible.

Today, I cast aside all comparisons with others, past or future. This is a moment for appreciating myself and my qualities, as they are. Nothing more, nothing less.

I know that many have advantages and have advanced further than me in life. But I am on my own path, at my own pace. It is time to simply look at where I am, by myself. Where others are is not important today.

The question to ask is, where am I now? What are the qualities in my life that are meaningful and manifesting? I return to relax in the virtues that I have cultivated. It brings me inner peace, calm, and equanimity.

When I am aligned with virtue, nothing can perturb my satisfaction. Life unfolds with effortless ease. There is no luck, only presence and joyful abundance.

Nothing gives clarity of mind like the lattice of virtue woven into my mind. With every thought, every breath, and every emotion, I am becoming more virtuous. When we enter the inner space, it is virtue that decorates the inner walls and simultaneously gives guidance towards becoming the sage I desire to be. Even if it is just for a moment, I live for the glimpse of what it means to fully embrace virtue in every aspect. I become deeper and more complete.

In my exploration of virtue I can conclude my findings:
– Virtues are not something that we achieve once and for all. They are a lifelong journey, and we will always be growing and learning.
– Virtues are not about being perfect. They are about striving to be the best version of ourselves.
– Virtues are not about being better than others. They are about being better than we were yesterday.
– Virtues are not about being happy all the time. They are about finding peace and contentment in the midst of the ups and downs of life.

~ to balance ~

I woke up this morning thinking about balance. It seems to be a recurring theme in my life, both financially and physically.

On the financial side, I’m always amazed at how things seem to balance out in the end. I might receive money from one source and then have to spend it on something else, but it always seems to work out in the end. I believe that this is because I’m living in alignment with my values and goals. When I’m focused on what’s important to me, the money seems to follow.

On the physical side, I’m also paying attention to balance. I’ve been walking barefoot on the ground and sun gazing, which are two natural ways to ground myself and balance my energy. I’m finding that these practices are helping me to feel more centered and connected to the earth.

As I reflected on these two aspects of my life, I realized that they are actually interconnected. When I’m financially balanced, I have more freedom to focus on my physical and emotional well-being. And when I’m physically and emotionally balanced, I’m better able to make sound financial decisions.

It’s all about balance. When we find balance in our lives, everything seems to flow more smoothly. We feel more grounded, centered, and in control.

As Suze Orman would say, “Money is just a tool. It’s how you use it that matters.” When we use money as a tool for good, it can help us to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I’m still on my journey to find balance, but I’m grateful for the insights that I’ve gained so far. I know that as I continue to focus on my values and goals, I’ll continue to move towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.

~ the hero’s journey ~

I awoke this morning with a sense of hopefulness. I feel that a solution to my current challenges may be at hand, and I am determined to seize it. The timing is propitious, as my Saturn time is approaching, and I am in need of a positive outlook.

I will not allow the negativity of the world to weigh me down. I choose to focus on the narrative that I want to live, and I will make myself the hero of that story. The hero is a figure of strength and resilience, and I will embody those qualities in my own life.

The hero finds support where he lacks it, and builds strong relationships with those who can help him on his journey. He forges ahead even when the outcome is uncertain, and he never gives up, even when he has every reason to do so.

Each day, I add another chapter to the story of my life. I write the story of my hero’s journey, and I breathe life into him with every thought. Life has meaning for me because I am the author of my own story.

~ On the freedom to be ~

On the Freedom to Be

This morning, I open my eyes to the vastness of the universe. I am but a tiny speck in this vastness, but I am also a part of it. I am connected to everything and everyone, and I am filled with the potential to create and to grow.

I know that I am not limited by my circumstances. I am only limited by my thoughts. If I choose to believe that I am bound by my circumstances, then I will be bound. But if I choose to believe that I am free, then I will be free.

I reach out to the universe and call on its intelligence to meet me halfway. I ask for guidance and support as I embark on this journey of freedom. I know that I am not alone, and I am filled with hope.

I delve into the inner chambers of my being and seek to establish the right relationship with my soul. I know that my soul is a divine spark of ancient knowing, and I yearn to connect with it. I know that when I connect with my soul, I will be able to live a life of true freedom.

I pray for freedom to be, to become, and to feel. I want to be free to express my creativity, to grow and learn, and to experience all that life has to offer. I know that I am capable of great things, and I am excited to see what the future holds.

I am free to be me.

~Rune work ~

I have been neglecting my blog, and I need to start writing more about the runes. People are starving for more information about the runes, and I have a wealth of knowledge to share. I could write an article about Johannes Bureaus again, with new insights from a new book I have found. I could also make videos or use other forms of media to share my knowledge.

My goal is to write about runes or make a video once a week. This will help me to deepen my own practice with runes, and it will also help to inform others about the runes. I want to use my blog as an educational tool to help people concentrate, understand, and use the runes.

I know that some people may be interested in joining the Knights of Runes, but that is not my primary motivation for writing about runes. I am here to serve people, and I want to share my knowledge with as many people as possible. I believe that everyone has the potential to benefit from working with the runes, and I want to help people to experience the magic for themselves.

I would still like to bring this wealth of knowledge to South Africa, but I am not going to force it. If there are suitable candidates who are willing to put in the effort, then I will be happy to teach them. But if not, then I will continue to share my knowledge through my blog and other media.
