August

There is universal balance within all of our realities, and often we don’t see it, but rest assured, it is there and it is what keeps the energies flowing and all of us moving along our pathways. Those things that are done out of unconditional love, with no strings attached or conditions bring back to us compensation of the most unusual kinds. It does not mean the compensation is of a monetary nature but rather a richer and more meaningful kind. When we operate on an unconditional level there are no expectations of reward of any kind, nor compensations, but the universe rewards come to us none the less, eventually. Often it is in new insight or understanding, or a door opens to us that is unexpected. Universal compensation is the most precious gift of all and it comes when we let go of the ego and do things from the purity of the love that is within. When we do not seek acknowledgement, when we do not seek confirmation, when we simply give from our hearts and let go, then what we receive back is far richer than one could imagine.

Compensation is the focus this month, and we all take the time to pause and review our intentions for the kindnesses that we have offered to others. This is a time to reexamine our intent and reason for what we give out. This applies to good deeds a well as actual gifts given, of a physical as well as of the etheric kind. When a gift is given with strings or agenda’s it isn’t a gift, it’s a bribe. Making sure there is a clean release is wise for often we think there are no conditions or strings when they are very subtly present. This is a time to reflect and a time to let go of those etheric strings that carry conditions. Remembering as well that the greatest gift we could give another is our time and attention for that enriches everyone involved.

Our hearts open to more of the cosmic energy that ever flows through our reality. Some of those barriers we have in the past erected to protect ourselves are lowered and we find ourselves flooded with all sorts of new energies. They bring with them new insight and understanding. We see to greater depths within others and realize the great complexities that are connected to the evolution of the spirit and understand that we are all alike in more ways than ever before realized. We find that we often can see the lessons that others struggle with and remember when those were ours at one time, and may be yet again. Though we know how we managed to pass that particular threshold we realize that each must create their own unique method for each lesson, so we silently Listen and empathize knowing that they will find their way on their own, in their own time. Your answers are yours alone as are theirs and the two have nothing in common. Time, empathy and a friendly face to share with are the greatest gift you can give to another , knowing that they will find their answers on their own …your advice can only make the whole process a longer and more confusing one. At moments like this Empathy is the greatest gift you can give.

This month all will feel as if there are two different levels of awareness that are being applied to every situation that occurs. Each will find that the ego will have one view point and the higher consciousness will have yet another and a part of you is caught right in the middle. It often will feel as if you are caught between your heart and your head, and that is indeed another insightful way of looking at things. The reasoning side of you goes for logic; things are black or white, period. The feeling side of you will see different shades of all possibilities and often will lean in an absolute opposite direction and you will feel torn, not knowing which way to go. Spiritually speaking, it is always wiser to go with the gut (feeling side), though there is often no logical reasoning behind that sort of a choice. Flowing with the feeling side of yourself will always lead you into situations that will open you to new experiences and often lead you towards those passions that you brought into this lifetime. When making choices please remember to go for those which hold joy rather than money. When all you have is money you cannot buy joy, but when you have joy everything else just flows to you.

There will be lots of choices this month and the first advice that comes through is “When in doubt, don’t”. Good advice, if you are pressured, back up, if someone tries to push you in any direction, take a break. Please know there are always alternatives and if they are not immediately visible, wait for them for they are there even if you don’t see them at first. Knowing that there are always choices gives us a chance to weigh the directions that are the best for our lives and the evolution of the spirit that is carried within. Even though there are many different pathways, they all lead, eventually, to the same source of all creation. Because we are all unique, so too are the ways we evolve and reach for the spirit that is carried within. No two will ever journey in exactly the same way.
