For music lovers: XX. Judgement

“Don’t judge!” they said judgmentally.

To love was not the crime
But to lie all the time
Deceiving for personal gain
Causing heartache and pain
Manipulating energy to mislead and harm
Control and charm
But the day of judgement comes for us all, my friend
And all foolish games must come to an end
Time to face the music and may it reveal
How to love, rise above, awaken and heal

XX. Judgement is a call to awaken. Rise up from the dead. Step out of the coffins we’ve built for ourselves and into the light of limitless possibilities. There’s a new world that awaits at the end of this transformational cycle. Everything plays out as divinely orchestrated, so judgement reminds us to trust and accept what IS. Love rewards. Fear imprisons. Judgement is a sudden revelation and realization of the power we have to free ourselves.

At the end of it all, we’ll realize we were never alone. Everything we thought we did in secret was closely monitored by cosmic consciousness. Everything is energy and energy readers can always tap into our intentions, actions, and feelings. We are still loved by the supreme creative being, despite our human ignorance. Can we truly love rather than judge ourselves and each other? Cooperate rather than compete? The final judgement: What is, IS.

“I’m sorry”
“For what?”
“Everything”
“Me too”

The truth is, I’ll love this man for the rest of my days
Regardless of how often he deceives and betrays
We’re of the same tribe and soul family
Even when I disagree with his personality
My goal has always been to uplift and liberate
Inspiring with love to awaken and elevate
Illuminating wounding and foul play
Patiently awaiting the day
When he will see
And pursue his destiny

For music lovers: XIX. The Sun

Is there wisdom to be found in hearts of stone?
A way to reverse how cold their thoughts have grown?
Rejecting all illusions of material wealth
Investing instead in our spiritual health
The wisdom of the heart is much greater than the mind
When you follow its guidance, the greatest treasures you will find
Flowing into your life so easily
The best things in life are truly free
And available to us all abundantly

The following excerpt from The Book of Secret Wisdom: The Prophetic Record of Human Destiny and Evolution, translated from Senzar (the language of the sun) by Zinovya Dushkova, sums up the essence of the sun beautifully:

“19. The Sun, too, was endeavouring to give all that he could. He tirelessly warmed the ever-cooling Hearts in his rays of Love. The Sun wished to apply the full force of his energizing currents to restore human souls to Life. He did not blame people for having lost the Gift–their ability to love. For the Star himself, the most important thing was Love. Therefore, he kept on blazing with greater and greater fervour, so that the Fire-breathing Warmth of his Heart would be enough for all…To become the Sun–this was something only man could wish for. So, day by day, the Sun circled the Earth in search of him…”

XIX. The Sun illuminates, empowers, nourishes and inspires. Transmitting coded messages and lighting up our chakras with the colors of the rainbow, sunlight refracts within. The sun gives us all we need to live. Beaming positive energy, radiating warmth and wisdom, shining a light of love and awakening in our lives, the sun does it all! His light codes are written across the sky and spoken by the birds, mapping the way home when we’re lost in the darkness. Gaze at the sun to receive healing, blessings, strength, peace and loving guidance.

With the help of the sun, we’ll create a golden age. If you’re SAD, lost, feeling alone, or afraid, look to the sun to recalibrate and liberate yourself. With the sun in our eyes, we’re limitless.

For music lovers: XVIII. The Moon

The moon has many faces and many phases. She influences our moods and logic in mysterious ways. Casting reflected light into the darkness of our lives, the moon works with her ally, the sun, to help awaken and enlighten the fool.

XVIII. The Moon can’t hide her secrets forever. Like Oz behind the curtain, all is revealed as she cycles around in the light of the sun. Does she deceive or liberate us from our illusions? What do we imagine we’ll find on the dark side? Are we fearful of truths discovered in the shadows of our subconscious, or do we explore them with open-minded curiosity?

Tidally locked to the Earth, she orbits around us, holding the keys to our survival.

When the moon appears in your dreams, heed her guidance and advice.

For music lovers: XVII. The Star

The fool has been through a lot by the time he lifts his eyes to the heavens and fixes his gaze upon a star.

Stars exist to be a source of light, hope, healing and inspiration. Radiating divine energy, the stars do not compete with each other. They work together to illuminate and uplift consciousness.

XVII. The Star is a light in the darkness. Shining brightly for all to see, it reminds us of our celestial origins and divine inheritance. It lights our way when we’re lost and guides us along to fulfill our cosmic destiny. The star asks us to remain hopeful and have faith. Blessings are coming.

When you wish upon a star, dreams come true.

For music lovers: XVI. The Tower

Still reeling from the shocking realization that his inflated ego has been his own worst enemy, the fool is in for another huge wake up call. Examining life from a new perspective, he discovers his world was built on fear, greed, guilt, insecurity, pain, lies, control, manipulation, addictions and deceit. To distance himself from the devil, he needs to tear it all down. If he can’t, the universe provides assistance in the form of a tower moment.

XVI. The Tower is a sudden turn of events. It brings life-changing revelations that forever alter our reality. We can’t fall for any of our old illusions anymore after they’ve come crashing down in the blazing inferno of the tower. The fall is not as bad as it looks. The two will survive as wiser, stronger versions of themselves. The weight of the past no longer has a hold on them.

The fool picks himself up out of the rubble and looks to the horizon for a glimmer of hope.

We know about the pride that comes before a fall, but what comes after? The star.

For music lovers: XV. The Devil

Humbled by his brush with death and inspired by the grace of temperance, the fool is now ready to face his demons.

XV. The Devil is in the details. A master of disguises, the devil takes many forms, from obsessive thinking and excessive sexual conquests to addictions and drama. The poor fool is no match for this master manipulator, especially when he chooses to play the victim. He remains stuck and controlled until he finds the courage to face and recognize the devil for what it truly is: a reflection of his own distorted ego, looming larger than life and running the show.

A fool with no will is the devil’s plaything, but a massive transformation is coming.

Some of these songs are not for the faint of heart. Dancing in the darkness may help guide us into the light.

For music lovers: XIV. Temperance

After the fool dies, before he faces the devil, the angel of temperance appears to offer messages of hope and spiritual strength.

XIV. Temperance is a card of balance, patience, moderation and spiritual grace. The angel of temperance has a foot in two worlds: on land and in water. She mixes the elements to create magical alchemy. Transmuting negative energy into positive outcomes. She encourages the fool to face his shadows and overcome self-imposed limitations with bravery and faith in the divine perfection of all. She reminds us to practice our spiritual gifts.

After drinking from the nourishing cup of temperance, the fool is better prepared for his upcoming encounter with the devil. He can call on the angel any time for peace, love, guidance and awakening.

When we allow the divine grace temperance bestows to flow into our lives, it becomes easier to channel pure spirit in each moment. She invites us to release all that no longer serves us.

When you believe in yourself, the devil can’t win.

For music lovers: XIII. Death

When I die, I want there to be a grand celebration in the spirit realm. I want to be able to review this life with my team of spiritual advisors feeling good about all we accomplished together. To die well is to live well.

We’ll be dead much longer than we’re alive. Do we live like each day might be our last? Or squander all opportunities? Are we so scared of death that we forget to really live?

Will we awaken to the truth only when we’re dead? Or can we figure it out while we’re still breathing?

XIII. Death represents transformation more than physical death. It’s a doorway into the mysteries of life. A chance to step beyond the veil that keeps us trapped in our illusions of what it means to be alive. Death is an invitation to undergo a spiritual transformation and see what you’ll discover on the other side.

Death reminds us our days here are numbered and judgment awaits at the end of this journey. There are many things that can only be done while we’re embodied on this planet. Do them while you can.

The time machines cannot change fate.

Freedom is found by surrendering fear of the unknown. Shine a light into the darkness to see death for what it truly is: a new beginning.

Overcoming fear of death is the path to freedom.

I have died a thousand ego deaths to get to where I am.

For music lovers: XII. The Hanged Man

Between justice and death, the fool finds himself in a sticky situation. As the hanged man, he’s not going anywhere. He feels hopelessly stuck, but with a change in perspective comes enlightenment: the realization he holds the key to setting himself free.

XII. The Hanged Man is helplessly entangled in a web of his own making. He is forced to be still and look at things differently. The position is reminiscent of the chrysalis phase. He knows a massive transformation is coming, but something must die for him to fly. His ego.

Avoiding the inevitable can keep someone stuck in the hanged man phase for years, decades or lifetimes.

Being stuck isn’t so bad with great music. Saved the best for last on this one.

For music lovers: XI. Justice

Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Sometimes it’s black and white, more often shades of gray. There are moments when things are so horribly out of balance that you’re forced to take matters into your own hands, but generally it’s best to leave justice in the capable hands of the universe. In the end, everything evens out. It is law.

XI. Justice is evidence of the inherent balancing principles of the universe. There’s no escaping the righteous hand of justice. Sooner or later, we pay the piper. Justice assures us vindication and fair resolutions are coming.
