Peace!

Posted on

Today I pulled the 2 of Swords out of my Tarot Deck. This card indicates ‘peace’. It is saying that the mind is at ease when we come to a balance with our soul and mind.

I started this journey to really dig deep to find out who I am so many years ago, but there were so many patterns that I would brush over and subconsciously tell myself that I would either deal with them later or that they weren’t that important. I thought that after my three months in England that would be enough, but that was only the beginning!

After working on the MegaCruise in October I headed back down to my friend Debbie’s place in San Diego, bought a motorcycle trailer, packed my stuff and headed to Scottsdale, Arizona to see my friends Jay and Mary. I had my whole trip planned out. I would stop there, then go to Sedona, then Chaco Canyon, and then continue across the the southern US to Florida where my sister Nicole is. That was my practical rational.

I headed out over a week ago and I’ve been here in Scottsdale ever since, after spending three days in Sedona. Every obstacle, both mental and physical, has kept me here. The lessons keep coming, as if the Universe is telling me that all of my ‘planning’ needs to be released. I need to truly let go and ‘go with the flow’ as I’ve been telling people over and over all of these years and not truly following my own advice.

So.. what have I learned? I’m learning how to truly let go, to allow the flow, and non-attachment to outcomes. It hasn’t been easy. I’m still hanging on to old stuff, but at least now I can truly breathe and see when these old patterns come up.

I would highly recommend anybody to drop it all and head out on the open road to really get to know yourself. If you say you can’t, that you have too many obligations, that you can’t afford it, that you’re not comfortable doing so…. just do it. Fuck it. This is your life. What kind of legacy are you going to leave?

Peace!

Knight of Swords

Posted on

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is the Knight of Swords. This one again! This card came up a few weeks ago for me where I quoted Gandhi, “Speak only if improves upon the silence.”

Yesterday I was out with a dear friend talking about well, everything! During the discussion I mentioned to her that I’m usually formulating thoughts verbally and if the other person isn’t in alignment with me they can misconstrue my words and think me a bit of a scatterbrain. Honestly, I’m not, but I can see how people would think so. I guess I love the art of debate. I love verbally throwing ideas out there and welcoming another persons input, and vise-versa.

Today we have lost the art of debate. Words and ideas that come from us now are either perceived facts or defense mechanisms to support our beliefs. You would think with the advent of information at our fingertips that we could do a little research and come up with our own conclusion with the facts that are out there… but we don’t. We’ve already formulated a rebuttal before another person can speak their truth. We aren’t truly listening to another person… if we were then we would be following Gandhi’s advice.

This brings me to Greta Thunberg, a teenage Climate Activist. Greta has Asperger’s Syndrome. While some see it as an ‘illness’ she see’s it as a superpower. I firmly believe that her superpower was the only thing that could get people to wake up and see what we’ve been doing to our world. People with Asperger’s are very direct, they speak their mind, and are completely honest in their conviction, especially when it comes to Social Justice. This is the Knight of Swords in a nutshell.

Where in your world are you improving upon the silence? Or are you just speaking to fill the silence?

Peace!

The World

Posted on

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Todays card is the last card in the Tarot; The World.

The World signifies completion in a way… it is telling us that we’ve got a grasp on how all of this works but even though we have a grasp on it, our feelings still prevail.

It’s difficult to just stop emotions from happening, nor would you want to, they are what make us human. Those that are stone faced to you are most likely suppressing feelings inside that will eventually destroy them. Think of your suppressed emotions like a dam; As the waters (emotions) build up there is a lot of pressure put on that dam, the bigger the wall, the more pressure on it and if that sucker breaks…. Oh hell, watch out!

So I understand why you would be afraid to release this pressure. I’m sure you’re afraid that once the flood gates open EVERYTHING will change.

It will. Believe me.

But eventually as the waters settle, after all of the old shit gets washed away; the old patterns, relationships, old feelings of suppression, of insignificance, of abandonment… you will start to notice the people around you who have also let that dam break. No longer will you feel the need to hide. No longer will you feel the need to escape.

Vulnerability is the last step taken before embracing the World card. It’s saying, “Fuck it!”

The freedom of being able to break down, reflect, share, grow… all of these empowering emotions allow you to concentrate on your true purpose in life. It allows you to be you without reservation. It allows you the freedom to express your true authentic self.

I know you are scared, I was too. I am fortunate to have good friends that encourage my expression no matter how quirky I might be from time to time. They have the comfort of knowing that they are seeing the true self, my true self.

Maybe it’s time for a serious breakdown like I had. A feeling like your world is upside down. Maybe it’s time for you to hit rock bottom and build yourself back up? Talk to people that have experienced this. Talk to me if you want. I’ll lay it all out there for you. Whatever it takes to help you live to your fullest potential.

Peace!

Six of Cups

Posted on

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is the Six of Cups. Shakti – Sacred Feminine Energy

This card is about embracing the male and female energies. You don’t need to be female to tap into the sacred feminine. There is a balance of each in every one of us. Most of us are imbalanced and I believe that is why we have most of the problems on this planet right now.

Balancing these male and female energies is extremely important. We’re seeing young people rise up against Global Warming, the MeToo Movement, Social Inequality between the sexes… and on the opposite side we see male dominant energies fighting for their lives by denying all of it, trying to suppress the masses with ‘fake news’ (which they created only to make us doubt our own selves), denying climate change, having a president that we’ve somehow been ok with his womanizing behavior making ‘grabbing the pussy’ a household word. We’re seeing the breakdown of religion which has suppressed the masses for so long as well. All of this is now coming to a head where we will either annihilate our species or we will give in and start working together.

I believe in balance.

I believe that with all of the negative energies around us right now, we have equal positive energies as well and eventually they will polarize so much, creating such unrest that we will have no choice but to balance them.

Where are you off balance? What parts of your life have you suppressed yourself? What are you willing to give up or take in to balance yourself? Possibly embracing Yoga? Meditation? Proper Nutrition?

It’s time for us as a society to rid ourselves of these old ideas and start embracing this new idea that we are God. We are powerful beings, not servants to money, religion, corporations… but true power. The power of love, of unity, of togetherness.

Peace!

Ten of Wands

Posted on

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Oppression

Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed?
I told you in our last reading what is going on in my life so it’s not worth the redundancy because quite honestly, even with all of the stress… I chose this life. I have accepted it fully with all of it’s glories and pitfalls.

So what do we do to deal with this feeling of being overwhelmed?

The negatives are drugs, booze, anything that will mask the feeling but not really fixing the issue at hand. The best way is to face it head on.
Fuck it! What can it really hurt?
I’ll be the first one to tell you that every once in awhile I succumb to my vices but for the most part I will spend time alone, in meditation, in reflection, and in appreciation of where I am and how I got here. I count my blessings because I do notice the less fortunate around me. We all go into our pity parties, and it’s usually with the people that we feel safest around. The down side is that side seems to be more prevalent than the lighter side that the rest of the world gets to see all of the time.

I’ve learned the hard way that you can’t dump on your lovers or your friends repeatedly hoping that they have the answers to fix your problems. All it’s going to do is drive them away. That is why it is imperative to have good quality downtime with yourself, nobody else. Stare in the mirror and ask yourself about yourself. Really dig deep.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, it’s ok. Just know that it is a temporary situation that will pass as long as you take a deep breath and allow it all to flow around you.

Peace!

You Matter

Posted on

 

For the last week my sister Nicole and I have been driving around the lower part of the UK. We’ve been down to the Southwest of England and up to the top of Wales to the mountains of Snowdonia, and over to the East Midlands where I am staying until October. During these drives, the scenery, the people, the spontaneous ‘squirrel’ moments that we share… there is a common bond. We both enjoy life as much as we can. I’ve noticed these aspects in her and it has helped me feel like I am on the right track, that I’m really not a bad person and that I do have something to contribute to this world,

I have been cruel to myself for so many years that it is sometimes hard to pull myself out of this emotional gutter. As soon as anything goes wrong in my life I ask myself what I’ve done wrong? I’ve worked hard throughout the years to conquer this feeling by balancing it, by helping others whenever and however I can. As a writer, a singer, I do my best to bring out words that will help others think, that will make others feel like they matter.

The thoughts of ‘I don’t matter’ have been painstakingly replaced with ‘I do matter’. I say painstakingly because when you grow up in an environment of believing that you aren’t good enough, trying to turn that around seems like you are being selfish. Even though I don’t go down this deep dark hole that I used to go down, I do still feel that stabbing pain, as dull as it might feel now, it is still there.

Like attracts Like.

It’s imperative for us to look at our relationships. They are mirrors of ourselves. If we expect that somebody is going to take us away from all of our buried bullshit, think again. There is an old saying that I repeat to myself over and over again when encountering new relationships, or people in my life… You cannot attract what you are not.

Whatever vibration that we hold within ourselves is what will come into our lives. If we have a spiteful, hateful, and cruel vibration then that same vibration will enter our lives. [go to my webpage davidreedwatson.com to read the full transcript]

Wheel of Fortune

Posted on

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is the Wheel of Fortune. They say that life is cyclical, not linear. We aren’t just born, live, then die. There is so much more to a life than just that. So why do we live this way? We know that the Moon revolves around the Earth, and the Earth around the Sun. We know that trees bloom in the spring and then die in the fall. We see this all around us and yet think we are separate from it all.

If we learn to ease into life just as nature does, if we stop struggling and start going with the flow, trusting that no matter what our lives will be ok, then that is when the magic begins. Recognizing that when you have a down period there will inevitably be an up.

When we live with linear thought we can’t conceive that life will eventually be good after a bad period in our lives. We struggle and struggle to be happy, to conform to the rat race, pretend that everything is ok so that when we reach the end of the line we will have people who care about us, near us.

Believe me… I get it.

As of today I have 11 days left here in England before I head back to the US. Head back to what? I don’t know. I don’t know where I am going to live, what I’m going to do about work, how I’m going to get around besides my bicycle and motorcycle. There are a million and one questions bouncing around my head right now. But you know what? I KNOW something good is going to happen. I TRUST that the universe will provide for me. I ALLOW it all to flow around me.

Just Breathe. Just Know. Just Trust. Just Allow.

Peace!
