The philosopher Charles Eisenstein has suggested that the ancients are trying to speak to us through their myths. I definitely feel they are speaking to me. :-)
After my meditation today, I was led to channel via automatic writing and this is what came through...very Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, but appropriate considering how often today we think of our founding fathers, the trials of revolution and the challenge to create our democratic republic.
"
Listen my child, and you shall hear
voices and visions from far and near.
No longer by horseback, the visions come fast,
and rest assured your country will last.
Trump is on his way out, of that is there no doubt.
He is proven a liar, a cheat and a lout.
His family will fall, his name will be tarnished,
His minions will fall as the truth outs unvarnished.
No tyrant survives, truth always conquers.
Our dreams and visions flourish and linger.
Call on your higher powers, your guides to protect you,
and believe in a future that better connects you.
I LOVE this! Thank you for sharing! You channeled a posting Spirit Guide and with a bit of humor. A fun way to receive a message. You even got the word minions.
@bluebelle, I had some disturbing dreams last night, so when I woke up and read your channeled poem, it really made me smile. I feel so much lighter -- thank you! I've never channeled, but I do have a spirit guide who has a wry sense of humor. I think that guide sits with me whenever I watch Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm. ?
I'm not good at the symbolism sometimes thrown my way in dreams or flashes-even the cards. Sometimes it is obvious, like when I saw my passed grandfather enter a pool in full suit and walk from the shallow end to the deep. He was telling me his family was going under. It's just what happened. My sister communicated to me the day after she died that she was ashamed of how she'd treated me and my parents, and given that I was shaken by her death, it took me months to get all the symbolism the dream held. She used scenes that were similar to movie scenes that she knew I'd recognize. I love movies. So yes, @luminata, I've seen the Red Violin. The first time I saw it, friends from church had rented it. It was interesting watching from the perspective that I read cards prior to seeing the movie, my sister made her living as a psychic-medium, and most of these folks viewing didn't believe in either, nor did they know that I read tarot long before joining their church, or my sister's occupation.
Now, I do often see things in the cards that don't relate to what I'm asking. I learned through books, and I have the zodiac references tied to certain cards, just as I have seasonal cards as references. What I've found is that I'll be trying to read something outside my life and what I see in the cards will be oh-that's this relative, etc. overriding what I was asking about. Sometimes it is spirit trying to tell me that something is coming down the pike. Sometimes it's me looking for answers subconsciously instead of reading what I've actually asked about.
Sometimes things are pretty straight forward. I haven't been around much these last few weeks because of family issues. Mom was diagnosed with Lewy Body (previous diagnosis was Alzheimer's), but the declining mental state hasn't fit with the physical decline for some time. Dad has refused to use his Parkinson's walker for months now, and insisted that he was capable of handling mom. I have told him for months he was going to fall and break a hip. Or that he would not be able to handle her and they'd both fall. We even discussed the death of his friend who had Parkinson's-who died from injuries received in a fall. He's refused to listen. So, two weeks ago, after landing mom on the floor 3 days prior trying to get her up from the sofa (no harm done), he tried to get her out of a chair in the kitchen. He couldn't handle her and they both went down. It aggravated her bad back, and fractured his hip. He refused to even go to the doctor or use his walker. He's rather walk in pain than admit he was wrong or that I was right. As his ability to walk declined, I finally talked him into getting a doctor's appointment to get checked out. I woke that night hearing that he couldn't get out of the bathroom. Took 2 walkers and all I had to get him back to bed. I told him I'd call an ambulance in the morning if we could keep him comfortable thru the rest of the night. He actually got to sleep, and when I heard him snore, I too went to sleep. I woke before anyone because I was hearing the 5th Dimension's singing "One Less Bell To Answer." I knew then he'd be leaving my house and not returning. I hadn't heard that song for decades I'd guess. For the younger crowd, the first three lines read "One less bell to answer, One less egg to fry, One less man to pick up after." I personally think given his situation it will be a permanent relocation. I'm still not sure if it was an indication that he'll be passing soon, but I do know that I'm in talks to have him remain at the nursing facility when his rehab is over, as well as placing mom there as well. Spirit couldn't have been more blunt with that message. Just two days ago, I actually heard a 5th Dimension song (Didn't Get To Sleep) on the radio. Spiritual reinforcement I'd say.
@bluebelle, I was just googling Paul Revere and the Midnight Ride in the last week. Mostly looking up the midnight ride, as I couldn't remember who went with Revere. It was Longfellow's poem that has made us remember Revere, but he was not alone, and the poem took liberties. I was trying to remind myself that in our history, things get distorted over the years. Washington never cut down a cherry tree, nor did he wear wooden teeth. I agree, that the founding fathers are around, helping us thru this time, and truth will prevail. In the shots that were heard round the world in Lexington that April morning after Revere's ride, the residents of the town were outnumbered by the redcoats, but still they prevailed. Same can be said for the revolution that followed. I like how spirit reminded you of this at this particular difficult time.
