LEO ♌️November Tarot 2021 | “The BREAK that YOU ASKED for?!” #LeoTarot #LeoNovember2021

I don’t remember much about my parents living together when I was a child, but I do remember the day my dad left. It left such an impression on me and in my heart that I can still smell the rocky asphalt of the driveway in our apartment complex as I watched his car leave from me. It is the kind of scene you see in a movie and it rips your heart apart. Dad leaving, mom grieving, and daughter screaming. Yes, that was the day I realized that this world is unfair, disappointing, and painful! Some may come to that realization much later in life, but for me, I was only five.

It often helps in life to step back before stepping forward. Stepping back allows us to gain clarity and perspective about situations, people and our own selves. We tend to see ourselves as the center of the situations (whether we realize this or not). Love diminishes this self-centered view. A parent, with love for her child, places the child’s needs before her own. God, being love (1 John 4:8), is the utmost example of giving and looking beyond self. “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) As we grow in love and in faith, we are able to step back and gain perspective more quickly and readily…

However, this reminds me of what they used to say about working on the line in General Motors car and truck assembly plants. One might say he was working there for say, 30 years and that it had taken them 3 weeks to learn the job. The other person would say that they had 3 weeks of experience then, rather than 30 years. When we stop learning, we stop growing.

We see this truth so clearly as we study the lives of King Saul and David, how it is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God’s truth and remain in sin. Have we not discovered that down through the years, as we face temptation? The chief danger of the church today is that it is trying to get on the same side as the world, and again was that warning not sounded so clearly some years ago? Jesus Christ expects us to accomplish results, even if they bring opposition and conflict. Anything is better than compromise, apathy, and paralysis. God give to us an intense cry for the old-time power of the Gospel of the Holy Ghost. There are many Prayer Meetings around but not much Prayer! Do you understand how serious that is? Each time, before you intercede, in prayer, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ. Expect great things! So often we take time at our Prayer times just to have a few moments silence and quietness.

Kundalini arousal offers a direct challenge to the power of the egoic mind and even though its intentions are to dissolve the ego, which it does eventually, at first, the ego will inherit a huge boost because it will interpret the awakening as something that is intended specifically for it. It’s as if the ego says, “Woah, look at how important I am! It is I who have been anointed into a select group of enlightened ones, and so therefore I must conclude that I am very special indeed.

Sometimes the Kundalini Awakening/Syndrome is also referred to as a “spiritual emergency.” In their 1990 book, “The Story Search for Self”, transpersonal psychologists Grof and Grof coin the term “spiritual emergency” to describe the difficult stages of a “profound psychological transformation that involves one’s entire being.” They describe the kundalini awakening as one of ten varieties of spiritual emergencies.
