Yesterday, I did a card reading for a client. She had laid out the cards herself and asked me to interpret them for her. As I went through the spread, I arrived at a pair of cards in a position that indicated weakness or challenge. The cards were the 2 of Cups and The Star.… Continue reading A Lack of Trust?

Concept versus Experience
In Computer Science, we have data and metadata. Allow me to illustrate. ‘City’ is metadata. ‘Austin’ is data (at least in my case). Notice that to have a complete understanding, we must have both the metadata and the data. ‘Austin’ as a piece of data could be someone’s first name or last name. ‘City’ is… Continue reading Concept versus Experience
Sovereignty & Responsibility
Sovereignty requires responsibility and responsibility demands sovereignty. Sovereignty is taking ownership of one’s life, one’s body, one’s thoughts, and one’s decisions. Beliefs are thoughts held more rigidly, and thus you take ownership of them too. Making decisions can be onerous, especially if you have been psychologically harmed in the past.

Some have been going to the same… Continue reading Escaping the Matrix
