The Vibrant Channeled Creator

The tarot card of the day is the Ace of Swords.
The Ace of Swords displays a gleaming hand emerging from a cloud and holding a large sword. The sword is pointing straight up, symbolizing the power of truth.
The tip of the sword carries a crown encircled with a wreath, representing the athlete’s achievement in their endeavors. The laurel wreath represents triumph.
The sword itself is a symbol of justice, truth, and power. It represents the athlete’s ability to cut through adversity and emerge victorious.
The Ace of Swords is a card that suggests mental clarity and focus. It can represent a time when you need to make an important decision or indicate that you need to take a more analytical approach to a situation.
This may also be a sign that you need to take some recovery time to organize your ideas and feelings since you are feeling overpowered by them.
Hope for a New Beginning
On one side, it can represent the beginning of a new relationship, full of hope and promise. On the other side, it might stand for hardship and conflict.
If you are currently in a relationship, the Ace of Swords may indicate that there is some tension or conflict present. You might have to tackle this head-on to find a solution. However, the Ace of Swords can also represent a new beginning in a relationship.
If you have been feeling stagnant or stuck in your current relationship, the Ace of Swords may be telling you that it is time to make some changes.
No matter what the Ace of Swords means for your particular situation, it is always important to remember that relationships require work and effort from both parties to find full recovery.
When you claim the relationship by putting in the work, you can make even the most challenging relationship thrive.
If you are single, the Ace of Swords can represent a new and exciting relationship on the horizon. This relationship is likely to be based on mutual respect and intellectual stimulation.
Patience is the Key
The Ace of Swords is a powerful card regarding one’s career and finances. It can represent a time of great opportunity and success but also a time of challenge and upheaval.
This card can indicate that you will need to use your intellect and determination to overcome any obstacles in your path. If you can meet these challenges head-on, you can achieve great things.
However, if you let yourself be bogged down by difficulties, you may struggle to make progress and not make a full recovery. You will ultimately reach the top if you keep your head up and remain committed to your objectives.
It can indicate that you are finishing a project or phase in your career and are about to embark on a new one. It may also imply that you are managing your money well and progressing in other areas of your life.
The card is also a reminder that you can achieve great things. If you have been facing difficulties in your career or finances, it can indicate that you are about to overcome them. This is a time to be confident and take charge of your life.
Make sure you take advantage of this ideal time since things will soon start to go in your favor. Things will start working out for you, so don’t hesitate to claim and seize opportunities when they come your way.
You may face a challenging situation or problem requiring tough decisions. This card should be a reminder to always stay strong. You also need clarity of mind to overcome any obstacle. So give your mind the credit it deserves.
Trust your instincts and intuition, and don’t be afraid to take risks. With determination and perseverance, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

“The one who has found the treasure feels no difficulty in selling everything, so great is his joy… It is the joy of those who have found the Lord. Making a good decision, a correct decision, always leads you to that final joy; perhaps along the way you have to suffer a bit of uncertainty, thinking, seeking, but in the end the right decision blesses you with joy.”
Pope Francis

“Discernment is an important act that concerns everyone, because choices are an essential part of life. One chooses food, clothing, a course of study, a job, a relationship. In all of these, a life project is realised, and even our relationship with God is concretized.”

 Today, the United States celebrates Labor Day. The very first Labor Day event took place on this date in 1882. There’s some disagreement about who came up with the idea first; according to the U.S. Department of Labor, it was a man named Maguire, but sources differ on whether it was Peter Maguire, a union leader in the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, or Matthew Maguire, a machinist.
Either way, it was the Central Labor Union in New York City that organized that first event: a parade and a picnic featuring speeches by union leaders. It was intended to celebrate labor unions and to recognize the achievements of the American worker. On that first Labor Day, 20,000 workers crowded the streets in a parade up Broadway. They carried banners that said, “Labor creates all wealth” and “Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest, eight hours for recreation!” After the parade, people held picnics all over the city. They ate Irish stew, homemade bread, and apple pie. When it got dark, fireworks went off over the skyline. The celebrations became more popular across the country in the next 10 years. In 1894, Congress made Labor Day a national holiday.

“Everyone has to make decisions; there is no one to make it for us. At a certain point, adults can freely ask for advice; we can reflect, but the decision is our own. We can’t say, ‘I lost this, because my husband decided, my wife decided, my brother decided.’ No. You have to decide, each of us has to decide, and for this reason it is important to know how to discern, to decide well it is necessary to know how to discern.”
Pope Francis

“The strength of the humble is the Lord, not strategies, human means, the logic of this world, calculations. No, it is the Lord… This is the very heart of the Gospel, for mercy is knowing that we are loved in our misery. They go together. Mercy cannot be understood without understanding one’s own misery. Being believers does not mean drawing near to a dark and frightening God… He is mercy, and it is only with his mercy that he can speak to our misery. If one of us thinks they can reach mercy another way than through their own misery, they have taken the wrong way. This is why it is important to understand one’s own reality.”

Pope Francis

Zipping the zipper

9/1/22

Zip like a flash
airborne at last
magical carpet
from past…

Freeform connect
braiding the wire
linking the woman
to sire.

Zippers are cool
ice on your skin
riding like skate
on the rink…

Zipper wags its tongue
at you, from its cheeky
dew; drippy juice from
heaven’s brew…

yum, yum
a zesty ZIP
FOR TWO!

If you’re currently in a pickle because you’re wondering if you should get back together with your ex, have a VERY good think about the reasons why you both broke up in the first place.
Your ex became an ex for a reason. And, often, we tend to look at our former relationships with rose tinted spectacles, especially when the object of our previous affections shows up again in our lives wanting to make another go of things.
As a rule, getting back together with an ex never goes very well because all those old problems end up resurfacing, making you wonder why you even bothered trying again in the first place!
To gain some divine insight on this question, we are using the Messages from Your Angels Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue.
Has Infidelity Been Involved?
Taking an overall look at your question, one aspect that is of the greatest significance is that if one of you cheated on the other, it’s not going to work out if you try again. When the trust is broken in a relationship it can rarely be recovered, unfortunately. So if this is the case, you need to think HARD about what you’re doing.

You need to look after yourself and your heart, because you are the only one on Earth who can truly do this. You should be your own greatest fan, only ever putting your happiness and well being first and foremost.
Yes, you might miss your ex terribly, but that is still not a good reason to get back together and wind up being more miserable than you have been in years after the initial honeymoon period is over.
Why Your Ex Should Probably Remain Your Ex
You are a lovely, genuine, and positive person with so much to share with the right person. You have a real affinity with the animal kingdom because you are loving and trustworthy.

Bearing this in mind, don’t allow unscrupulous people to take advantage of you. Your ex knows your weakest points as well as your strong ones. They know who you are and how much you enjoyed being with them in the past. While they might not set out to hurt you, this could happen very easily if there is a negative vibe or history there.
So, just be incredibly careful if you feel tempted by a person from the past. Take some time to think. What would you say to your best friend if they were in your position? Be honest with yourself when you answer this question so you can figure out exactly what you should now be doing.

As a beautiful lightworker here on Earth, you have a tendency to give people the benefit of the doubt all too often. Because you don’t have a bad bone in your body, you sometimes cannot quite grasp that other people are entirely different.
So, while you should never feel the need to hide your light away, bear in mind that you need to listen to your angels when they explain that being with your ex is bad for you. You have a far higher purpose than you might know, so you need to be with people who resonate with your lovely energy.
So, rather than going back to your former life which you seem to have outgrown, focus yourself on the future. You were made for better things, so you need to go out and grasp these with both hands.
Don’t feel tempted to go back to the past just because you’ve been feeling a little lonely. You are on your own for a reason – so you can grow, change, and understand your purpose in life.

“Humility does not consist in belittling ourselves, but rather in that healthy realism that makes us recognize our potentials as well as our misery. Beginning with our misery, humility makes us take our gaze off ourselves in order to turn it toward God, to the One who can do everything and who even obtains for us what we would not succeed in obtaining on our own. “All things can be done for the one who believes” (Mk 9:23).”
Pope Francis

“There exists no other way to accomplish God’s will than to assume the strength of the humble, there is no other way. Precisely because they are such, the humble appear weak and as losers in the eyes of men and women, whereas in reality, they are the true conquerors because they are the ones who confide completely in the Lord and know his will. It is, in fact, “to the humble that God reveals his secrets, and by the humble he is glorified” (cf. Sir 3:19-20).”
Pope Francis

 Today is also the birthday of Russian journalist Anna Stepanova Politkovskaya , author of Putin’s Russia and A Small Corner of Hell: Dispatches from Chechnya.
Anna was born in New York City in 1958 while her parents, who were Ukrainian diplomats, were at the United Nations, but she grew up in Moscow, graduating from the Moscow State University’s school of journalism in 1980 with a thesis on the Russian and Soviet poet Marina Ivanova Tsvetaeva. Anna married and had two children and settled down to the business of becoming a fearless, award-winning reporter who would speak for the victims of conflict even in the face of great personal risk.
Anna began her career as a reporter and editor for the accidents and emergencies section at a long-running Russian newspaper, Izvestia, then moved to another paper where she wrote about social problems, in particular the plight of refugees. But it was at Novaya Gazeta, a strongly investigative Russian newspaper that was critical of the post-Soviet regime, that Anna came into her own.
She was highly critical of Vladimir Putin, the former KGB lieutenant colonel who had become the second president of the Russian Federation. As she wrote of him in a later article, “Poisoned by Putin,” it was under him that Russia was “hurtling back into a Soviet abyss, into an information vacuum that spells death from our own ignorance … if you want to go on working as a journalist, it’s total servility to Putin. Otherwise, it can be death, the bullet, poison, or trial — whatever our special services, Putin’s guard dogs, see fit.”
During the Second Chechen War, which began in 1999 when Russian forces entered Chechnya to end its de facto independence and reestablish Russian federal control of the territory, Anna distinguished herself reporting on what she called “state versus group terrorism,” documenting torture, mass executions, kidnappings, and the sale by Russian soldiers of Chechen corpses to their families so that they might be given proper Islamic burials. She came to the conclusion that the only response one could possibly expect to such treatment would be more militant resistance, more terrorism, and the recruitment of more resistance fighters.
Anna reported directly from the killing fields, putting herself in harm’s way, exposing what she called “medieval barbarity” in all its red and vivid brutality. In 2001, in the course of investigating punitive raids by the Russians on Chechen families, she was detained by Russian military officials who beat her, threatened horrific acts on her children, staged a mock execution of her with a rocket launcher, and forced her to drink poisoned tea to make her sick. Anna received numerous death threats, at least nine according to a colleague at Novaya Gazeta; she never denied being afraid, but her personal sense of responsibility and concern for her informants and for the people she spoke for would not allow her to give up or run away. She never spent more than a few weeks of her life outside of Russia, and though she had a passport and a U.S. visa, she apparently never even considered leaving Russia to report from a safer location. She said once, during a 2005 press conference in Vienna, that, “People sometimes pay with their lives for saying aloud what they think … I am not the only one in danger.”
In 2004, Anna was poisoned as part of what has come to be seen as a triple-whammy against free press in Russia. En route to cover the Beslan school hostage crisis, Anna, who had taken nothing that day because in her own words, “war has taught me that it better not to eat” before a conflict, was given a cup of tea and was unconscious within minutes. She later woke in a regional hospital where her doctors told her she had been poisoned and that the tests that had been performed at the airport were already destroyed. A second journalist who reported on Chechen war atrocities and who had also suffered a kidnapping by Russian forces was detained and jailed en route to Beslan, the third hit coming when the editor of Izvestia was sacked following that paper’s graphic accounts of the Beslan massacre.
On the afternoon of October 4th, 2006, Anna returned to her central Moscow flat from a shopping trip with a load of bags and parcels. She dropped the bags in her apartment and then took the lift back down. As the lift doors opened, she was shot four times in the chest and once in the head at point blank range, and was found by a neighbor, lying on the floor with the handgun and empty shell casings beside her. She was 48.
Anna’s murder by all accounts appeared to be a contract killing. And in a page straight out of Ian Fleming, two years later Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB and FSB officer turned journalist who spoke against Putin for Beslan and accused him of acts of terrorism and of ordering the death of Anna Politkovskaya, was poisoned and killed by the rare and radioactive isotope polonium-210. He had apparently been poisoned by a pot of tea.

A MESSAGE FROM LOUIE SCHWARTZBERG

For over 40 years, I’ve dedicated my life to making films celebrating life and the human spirit. From a young age, my parents (both Holocaust survivors), appreciated all the little things in life and the blessing of having children. My upbringing taught me the importance of living a daily life full of gratitude.
After graduating from UCLA, I began to shoot flowers 24/7, 365 days a year and still have time lapse cameras rolling non-stop. To this day, I am in awe of the beauty of nature, whether oceans, mountains, flowers, bees, or mushrooms. Each day, I am thankful for the opportunity to film nature’s beauty and share my images with a worldwide audience, all with the hope that people are seduced by the beauty of this planet, fall in love with it, and are willing to protect it.
During the pandemic, I was moved by how society was disconnected, and the small things in life, whether meeting a friend for coffee or hugging a family member, were taken away from them. I felt compelled to show my gratitude for our world during such a complex and unpredictable time. I wanted to help people in desperate need of connection, both internal and external, and address the global suffering from isolation, stress, and anxiety due to the pandemic. So, I decided to make Gratitude Revealed.
My goal is to provide an audience with an immersive cinematic experience. Through vignettes of everyday remarkable people, we find the beauty in humanity and the resilience of the human spirit… and the desire to reconnect with each other.
The film provides a global audience an opportunity to open our hearts, see each other with compassion and understanding, and build bridges with those who think differently. In addition, the film provides the audience with a shift in consciousness on gratitude’s vital role in their lives. and how they can work towards experiencing more of it daily as it builds resilience, gives purpose, and provides health benefits in these troubled times.

“Dear brothers and sisters, especially you elderly, the best of life is yet to come. ‘But we are old, what more is yet to come?’ The best, because the best of life is yet to come. Let us hope, let us hope for this fulness of life that awaits us all, when the Lord calls us. May the Mother of the Lord and our Mother, who has preceded us to heaven, restore to us the eager anticipation of expectation, because it is not an anaesthetized expectation, it is not a bored expectation, no, it is an expectation with eager anticipation, it is an expectation: ‘When will my Lord come? When will I be able to go there?’… Let us be attentive, dear old people, contemporaries, let us be attentive. He is expecting us. Just one passage, and then the party.”
Pope Francis
 

Luke 14:1, 7-14

“Some guests choose the place of honor @ the banquet. Instead choose the lowest place, and those who humble themselves will be given the most exalted place. Be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

SUNDAY, AUGUST 28, 2022“

The Risen One lives in God’s world, where there is a place for everyone, where a new earth is being formed, and the heavenly city, man’s final dwelling place, is being built. We cannot imagine this transfiguration of our mortal corporality, but we are certain that it will keep our faces recognizable and allow us to remain human in God’s heaven. It will allow us to participate, with sublime emotion, in the infinite and blissful exuberance of God’s creative act, whose endless adventures we will experience first-hand.”

Pope Francis

It’s time for you to step into your power and assert yourself as the leader.

The tarot card of the day is The Emperor.

The Emperor is a powerful archetype who represents structure, order, and discipline. He emphasizes the value of deciding one’s own fate.

The Emperor sits on his throne, surrounded by symbols of his authority. The orb on his left hand represents the world that he controls. The ankh in his right hand is the Egyptian symbol of life and represents his power to give or take away life.

He is dressed in armor, representing his strength and ability to protect. His beard shows his profound wisdom and years of experience.

Over the years, the Emperor has learned how to use his power responsibly and justly. The mountains in the background represent his stability and solid foundation.

You may be feeling called to take on more responsibility at work or in your personal life. The Emperor asks you to rise to the occasion and show others what you are capable of.

You may be asked to take on a leadership role or help others in a time of need. Step into your power and stand on your authority today. The Emperor is with you, reminding you of your inner strength and ability to lead.

A New Level of Mastery

You are gaining access to a higher degree of expertise, and with that comes more responsibility. You have been a student for long enough, and now it is time to put your knowledge into practice.As you are called on to take on more responsibility, you may feel some resistance. When we are forced to do something outside our comfort zone, we often experience fear.But keep in mind that you already own every bit of information and skill necessary for your success. You are capable of so much more than you know, and this is the time to prove it to yourself.

Lead By Example

You may find yourself in a position of authority today. If so, use your power wisely. The people who follow you are watching your every move, and they will emulate your behavior. Always be truthful and courteous; your actions will have an effect on those around you.

Regardless of your formal status, you may always set a good example for others to follow. Your words and deeds are more significant than you realize. Consider how your behavior will affect those around you.

Move Forward into the Future

Your experiences in the past have been valuable, but now is the time to look to the future. Take stock of what you’ve learned so far and let that serve as a compass as you move forward.At this time, you may be called on to take on a new role and leave behind an old one. Embrace change and welcome the new opportunities that are coming your way.Let go of the things that keep you tied to the past and open yourself up to new possibilities. This could necessitate a career transition or even a significant life adjustment.Learn from your past because until you do, you will keep repeating the same patterns. Whether or not you are prepared, transformation is inevitable.

Be disciplined

Your discipline is being tested today. Feeling pulled in a million different directions makes it difficult to maintain focus. The trick is to keep your eye on the prize and keep going even when the going becomes rough.When life gets chaotic, it’s important to have a schedule that you can rely on. Have disciplinary measures in place for when you veer off course. And despite the difficulty, follow through on your commitments. You have more inner strength and potential than you give yourself credit for.Get going right away. Set your intention to be disciplined in all that you do, and watch as your life begins to transform.Don’t put off the things you need to do in order to take care of the things you want to do. Take charge of your life, find some balance, and organize your priorities. The universe is backing you up to make it happen.

“Just as, in the moment we come out of our mother’s womb, we are still ourselves, the same human being that was in the womb; so, after death, we are born to heaven, to God’s space, and we are still ourselves, who walked on this earth…. The Risen One is still Jesus: he does not lose his humanity, his experience, or even his corporality, no, because without it he would no longer be himself, he would not be Jesus: that is, with his humanity, with his lived experience.”
Pope Francis
