The Four of Cups

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is the 4 of Cups.

There is a lot to this card. They call it the Lord of Luxury. It talks about becoming stagnant in different areas of your life.

I’ll start off with spirituality. If we tend to get too deep into our meditation practice, seclusion, contemplation… the water of life doesn’t flow. Loneliness settles in. We’ve gone so deep into our heads that we’ve got to get out there in the world and truly experience why we are here. We are here to experience, to love, be loved, and to share our gifts with the world.

This brings us to love. What aspects of your life are you not allowing love in? I understand this all too well right now. My last relationship ended 4 or so months ago. Although people have entered my life since then I have put up a ‘Do Not Enter’ sign to protect myself.
This is understandable to an extent. What I mean is that I was blocking ALL love, mostly because love equated sex. Twisted, I know… but when you come from a family that barely wants to pat you on the back, affection feels foreign. I’ve mentioned before that is why I’m more comfortable on stage hidden behind a microphone than off stage, naked to the world.

I’ve realized now that receiving love doesn’t mean you have to sleep with that person, or be in a relationship with them.
The art of giving and receiving is the lesson we must learn here. Receiving is important but all too often people give EXPECTING something in return, and vise versa.

Today, get out in the world. Get out of your shell. Go hug somebody just for the sake of allowing them to receive love, and allowing yourself to give of yourself. It might be scary, but do it anyway. You can meditate until the cows come home but getting out and experiencing is what your spiritual practice is all about.

Peace!

The Hermit

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is The Hermit.

This card is about going within.
I spend a lot of time alone over here in the UK writing songs, thinking, contemplating, learning, figuring myself out. Those that have become closest to me have seen my ups and downs.
When we are in this state of reflection there seems to be more downs than ups, but growth isn’t easy. Growth is recognizing your flaws and honing in on them, understanding why they are there and purging those things that no longer serve you.

There is so much going on in the world right now. Trump, Brexit, Hurricanes, the Amazon burning, Global Warming… it all can get a bit depressing. It seems like every time I post something to enlighten I have become a leftist, or liberal ‘snowflake’. People get very angry with me.

Do I get angry with people online who support hate, or injustice? Actually, no. I feel sad. I feel sad because I know if these people stopped looking outside of themselves and took the journey inward they would see that what they support is a direct reflection of themselves.

Start taking the journey inward and start recognizing that you are a part of this world and that you matter. Listen to your inner voice and allow it to come out.
All of the pain, all of the sorrow, all of the angst… allow it to be released. When you release these from your life you will start seeing yourself in other peoples eyes. You will start to understand that we are all the same. We are truly one.

We all want to be loved. That is the bottom line.

Peace!

Princess of Swords

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is the Princess of Swords.

This can be a rebellious card. It’s about creativity and drive. She has an idea in her head and she is going to do it. You can see in the picture that the chain is broken and the rope is untied. All of the thoughts in her mind are now able to manifest into reality.

Today I head into the studio. My normal way of writing songs is to come up with a thought and fire up ProTools, start to sing, and then play around with it a bit. Since I don’t have the luxury of having a studio at my fingertips over here I have been writing songs the old school way… pen to paper and singing the songs in my head. And you know what? It works! The cobwebs have been brushed away and the song in my head comes out exactly as expected.

Today I head back into the studio to bring these thoughts to fruition. I know that they will come out exactly like I want them. I am excited and ready.

They say that Nicola Tesla would come up with an invention in complete detail in his head before he would bring it into the physical. All of his hypothesis, his trails and errors were all worked out. Amazing the power of the mind. But it takes conviction. It takes clarity.
When I do Reiki on people what I am doing is lining up their Chakras, getting them moving as to allow the energy to flow through them. If the energy is blocked your thoughts aren’t clear and it will be very difficult to bring that thought to the physical.

Today, take a look at what you want to come to the physical. Do you have a clear idea in your head or is it scattered? I challenge you to start a meditation practice. Don’t say you don’t have the time. You have 5 minutes here and there throughout your day. Focus on your breath and allow clarity to come through you.

Create and manifest your thoughts into reality. Everything here in the physical was first a thought. Everything.

Peace!

The Hanged Man

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is The Hanged Man.

Surrender.

This card signifies ‘be’ing instead of ‘do’ing. I do my best to live like this, but like every human being, we have our panic attacks and think that if we aren’t ‘do’ing something we aren’t progressing.

How many of you out there have ridden a bicycle?

One thing I learned from racing bicycles is that we want the cadence to be high, meaning, that we want our pedals to spin so that we are using more momentum than muscle. But our brains are thinking counter intuitively telling us that if we put it into a bigger gear and power through it, we will go faster. Once I trained my brain to ‘surrender to the cadence’ it effected my racing significantly. But it took practice.

Training ourselves to release and surrender instead of muscling through everything is not a popular theme. Unless, of course, you ask a master teacher like the Dalai Lama, Tony Robbins, Eckhart Tolle, etc. Read some quotes from the Buddha, Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, or Paul McCartney even… they will all tell you to ‘Let it Be’. 

I’ve talked to you before about the Be/Do/Have concept which for the sake of space I’ll ask you to do further research on your own. Basically what it means is, that if we are ‘be’ing a certain way, raising our vibration, we will start doing things that are in vibration to our ‘be’ing so that inevitably we will have whatever that vibratory state has to offer.

Most of us live in the Have/Do/Be state of mind. In this state we will always struggle and will never have what we are seeking.

Today, before you go ‘do’ something, ask yourself if you are ‘do’ing it because you think you ‘have’ to, or if you ‘want’ to. Start putting yourself into a state of surrender. You will start watching the Universe work with you instead of working against you, fighting to make something happen.

Stop swimming against the flow and start going with the flow.

Peace!

My First Ayahuasca Journey

It has been 14 months since my first Ayahuasca journey. A LOT has changed since those three days that I shared with a group of 17 people. 17 in numerology is 1+7=8. Eight is infinity and I believe that this journey opened up infinite possibilities for me.

My journey started many years ago and I believed I’ve pinpointed it to my time in Egypt going into the Great Pyramid of Giza. I’ve always been a seeker of truth but it wasn’t until then that my true path was set before me. Eventually I will write about this beginning but today I want to focus on my first Ayahuasca journey.

This part of the journey started with receiving a book called ‘2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl’ by Daniel Pinchbeck. Although the book came out in 2006 it didn’t enter my life until 2013 when I moved to Las Vegas. It took me another five years to hear the call from Grandmother Ayahuasca. They say that you are called to the plant medicine when you are ready. Some never are. Some never want to. It is a choice. It is intense. A three day journey, as I’ve stated above… well, it’s life changing.

So much has changed in the last 14 months. I left my band Kill Ritual because something else was calling me. When I left it was for reasons within the band but as time has passed I know it is for a much different reason. That reason? I’m honestly not sure yet, but I am open to the change. Shortly after leaving the band I was out Mountain Biking in the High Desert. My job out there was to take clients from out of town up into the hills to experience what I like to think of as the ‘real’ Las Vegas (if that is possible). While out with a few clients, one from Florida, and one from the Midlands of England, I went ass over tea kettle and I broke my wrist. It was a bad break snapping the bone in half. Surgery and recovery took a bit of time and is still in the healing process. Then my fiancé and I ended our relationship. Let me be clear about this… she kicked me out. She wanted me to ‘Go find my Happy’. I was crushed then but I had to remind myself that everything happens for a reason. I never liked Las Vegas anyway and always felt trapped there. I look at it now as the Universe giving me a swift kick in the ass to get me moving again. So I left Las Vegas. During this time I was approached by a band from the Midlands, England… yes, the same place as the client who was with my on my ride is from. Again, no coincidence. The band also had a familiar name to my spiritual beliefs, that being ‘Alchemy Fire’. So now I am in the Midlands area of England and I have been over here writing and meditating for the last month or so and will be here until October 2019.

As you can see, a lot of changes which I at first kicked and screamed, cried, yelled, and over-analyzed. Now I’ve come to terms with it all and have vowed to myself to go deep, real deep as Grandmother Ayahuasca has guided me to.

Below are the transcripts from each day of the journey. The names have been changed as well as the location to keep this sacred ceremony and those that did it with me safe. An Ayahuasca journey is very personal. Very private. And when done with a Shaman it can be a life altering experience. I do hope that you decide to go within yourself.

6/29/18 Day one of my journey with the Medicine.

Today is definitely a new beginning for me. Last night with the Ayahuasca I purged several times as if I couldn’t get all of the toxins in my body out fast enough. She [Grandmother Ayahuasca] was singing to me and telling me that I was her favorite because I am so rebellious and that yes, singing is how I get people to come home. Where is home? The tobacco keeps us safe. Our real home from what I gather is where the Pyramids point us. In ancient times we built them to withstand any condition that Gaia might be subject too. Not only Gaia but beings that don’t want us to remember where home is. So the pyramids were built in the exact locations, time, and space to show us our home.

The Pleiades.

Why would other beings try to keep us from remembering where home is? No different than allowing the black slaves brought to America to remember that they are Kings. Because when you know you are a King you can’t be controlled. So making you forget keeps these beings in control.

Last night [Bill], the Shaman, turned into an old man when he was singing and both of them [There were two Shamans] had tribal tattoos on their faces. The tall crystal in the center between them was like a flow of energy spinning around like a torus. It also lost its edges and became smooth. Crystals are power centers, that is why they are so powerful with Reiki. I learned unconditional love last night.

[My footnote about my my ex and I breaking up a year later had me sit to understand how I had misinterpreted this. I believe I had substituted myself for Taylor.] I am grateful to have Taylor in my life because I love her and want her to be happy. She will be excited to know that the Ayahuasca came from the Big Island of Hawaii. Coincidence? There are no coincidences.

Cats. I learned a bit about them. They cross both lines. They are always in this earth plane but they are also out of the matrix. Reminds me of Robert Heinlein’s book, ‘The cat that walked through walls’. They all do. All animals maintain the balance. They understand their roles. To lift consciousness. And again, that is where I step in. Why? Because people listen to me. I am the rule breaker. I can guide people back home. The ones that are on the edge and feel that pull… even though they don’t understand the pull, they feel it. I’m here to guide them and let them know what that pull is. It’s telling us to come home and that we are Kings, not slaves in the Matrix.

6/30/18 Day two of my journey with the Medicine.

I didn’t purge last night and I’m not sure if that is a good thing or not. I remember that collectively we were all going through our little hells. What was mine? Loneliness. I just wanted it to go away. I was passing gas all night long. Maybe my way of saying that I am full of hot air? Possibly. I just wanted the night to end but I knew I had to get through this. I felt like such a failure because I feel by not purging I could not let go of old things. It was such a different experience than the night before.

7/1/18 Day three of my journey with the Medicine.

Last night was filled with spirits walking in and out of the room. One of the spirits looked like he was protecting the room. When I would look over at it, it would shape shift. It would look like the aliens that we hear about. He knew when I was staring at him because he would start doing a crazy dance to make me laugh. When somebody from our group would walk by him he would step aside for them. So many spirits. I only got scared once or twice. Other than that it was very peaceful. My sister Darlene was there last night as well. She told me that she is fine. She is always looking over me. These 17 people that I am with here are all magic. We all connected in these three days. My new brothers and sisters. This was a sacred pact that we formed before we got here. We decided to do this together because we all wanted it to be very deep.

Peace!
David

The Nine of Wands

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is the Nine of Wands

Strength!

What are your strengths? Do you know them? Have you written them down in detail? You might find that you have strengths you had disregarded because they didn’t seem all that to you, but to others your strengths might have changed their lives.

We all have strengths. Some people are better at one thing while another person is focused somewhere else. All too often we will hyper-focus on our weaknesses which in turn get us more and more depressed.

I mention the Law of Attraction a LOT. Mainly because it is a very simple concept to me.
What we focus on becomes our reality.
If we focus on our weaknesses that becomes our reality. I see this a lot in the spiritual community because we are always looking at how to improve ourselves. It’s one thing to hone our craft, looking for ways to improve, but a whole different animal when we are looking to improve our weaknesses.

Focus on your strengths. When we recognize our strengths our weaknesses take a back seat and eventually fade away. You’ve heard the expression, Making mountains out of mole hills? This is what happens when we focus on our weaknesses. They become bigger and bigger and eventually take over our whole existence.

Today, again, write down your strengths. Focus on the areas that you are good and at this will change your vibration. When your vibration goes up you feel more alive, and when you feel more alive you start to change other people’s vibrations, and as their vibrations rise, so will others… and over, and over, and over again.

Peace!

The Nine of Disks

 

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

The Sun is shining here today in the Midlands as I pull the 9 of Disks.

The Lord of Gain

There is a song by a band called The New Radicals. The song is called ‘You get what you give’. Before you start this reading go put this on 11 then come back.

Ok… you’ve got the song jamming in your ears. There is so much truth to this song.

But when the night is falling, you cannot find the light. You feel your dreams are dying. Hold tight.
You’ve got the music in you. Don’t let go, you’ve got the music in you. One dance left, this world is gonna pull through. Don’t give up, you’ve got a reason to live. Can’t forget we only get what we give.

Life is pretty simple really. Ask some of my friends who have been coaching me for the last few days and they might giggle a bit at this because I’ve made life in my head SO damn complicated. But as I woke this morning I remember in my dream jamming with my band and starting to sing lyrics from the top of my head… the band looked at me with a pleasant surprise and on the second go round started singing with me.

I will not profess to do dream interpretation but this one was pretty clear to me.

As soon as I purged all of the old shit from my system, opened up my heart and allowed myself to be truly vulnerable the music flowed through me.

You see, Gain (material or otherwise) comes to us when we start giving of ourselves. When we start sharing and trusting others. Knowing that you will always be able to provide for them in their time of need just as they will be there for you. Gain is not acquired by begging, borrowing, or stealing. Gain is acquired by giving.

What are you willing to give? What does that look like for you? Do you hoard all of your possessions or of your time, or of your emotions in fear of not getting anything back?

Today…. I want you to be vulnerable. Give to a charity. Give to a homeless person. Give to somebody that you don’t think deserves it. The emphasis is on ‘who you don’t think deserves it’, because, like a mirror what are you actually saying to yourself?

Peace!
