    Hello everyone
It’s been a whole year since I’ve written a newsletter. Many of you probably wondered why?   It started last year in November I felt a deep rumbling in my soul and felt very restless, even agitated at times. There were so many things that kept me from silence. I needed the silence to see the next step. Yet everywhere was this constant chatter of phones, machines, computer, television, my daily chores, the constant need to get things done. All this kept silence from seeping into my experience. I felt energetically drained as though I needed to save my energy up for something else. I knew that I needed some changes, all that I was doing was working, No time to study or just be. Every night I just went home and made a permanent indent in the sofa.  I went back to when I was younger and there seemed to be so much more time. Time to read a book, time to do the things that really matter. Those things that matter are different to every person.  I had to start thinking about what I needed. Sometimes when that happens I just need to go within so I can hear the inner voice for myself. At one of the circles we did a meditation where you go into a 5th dimension void space and from there you can go into the past or the future. I chose to look at the future and asked, where will the store be? I asked this more out of curiosity, but to also clarify this nagging suspicion that I had. I saw myself going into a store with large glass windows, it was long and narrow, and had an antique showcase. I looked and saw a street sign that said “Main street New York Mills. I was very surprised as it is not a location I would have thought of. I began to wonder! Then I was looking at a book about the spaces that women create in and I fell in love with the old antique showcases. I showed the pictures to my friends. My friend Rick saw one and I purchased it for a song. Those of you, who know me well, know how many times I have moved. Believe me it was the last thing that I wanted to do. So after Christmas last year, I began to feel the silence again and paid attention to everything. I felt sad as I wandered through the Herkimer store, as though I was saying goodbye. I looked at the books for 2006 and the size of the store and the cost of overhead outweighed the gain. All the while feeling as though the change was already in motion. I asked my angels for support. A request for support. Not  just for the support of getting rid of all the stuff, for bringing life into a more manageable state where I could function better, but most important support for bearing it, for suffering the move as yet another experience in my life, support for seeing the wisdom, no matter how awesome or terrible.  I was so tired and this seemed to get me through. I was still undecided in April. May rolled around and I could no longer ignore the facts. We had just moved to my little house in Utica. That move alone was exhausting. Driving back and forth from Utica to Herkimer began to be a chore. So I gave in and just let the move happen. No kidding aside it is by far the hardest move I have ever made. It’s been a big adjustment all the way around. I loved the Herkimer store and am so glad of all the fond memories there. But I also love the new space. It’s very cozy and much easier to take care of.  It is now on a slow street, with slower traffic. The majority of my customers are closer to here. I also love being closer to my family. We have a new edition Eddie and Sarah had a wonderful baby boy, Edward the 4th. Both the boys work down the street from the store and I feel like I am home. The valley was ok, but this area is my home and has been for most of my adult life. I’ve met people here that I am quickly growing so fond of and it is nice having people near again. This past year was so physical for me that I just didn’t have a lot of oomph left over for much else. The transformation is almost complete. My body is feeling better, now that I don’t have so much physical work to do.  Gone is the urge to hurry and get everything done. Now is time for the New in a simpler way, with a peaceful attitude. I am here!  2008 What will it bring? The rumbling in my soul was the urge to reduce, to get rid of, live simpler. All over I noticed others of like mind doing the same thing. This alone tells us a lot about 2008. We are all being called to work in Community with others, to recycle, to use less, etc. The physical men who run this world are not going to tell us what is going on so let’s use a little common sense and some astrology here. For years now all the metaphysical books have been telling us to clear out whatever we don’t need. To clean up our acts in a major way. The Hopi prophecies are full of this sort of thing.  Many of us have been urged to clear all debt and live within our means. All of this means something! So in the present we see gas prices going sky high, along with that shipping. In turn that cost is reflected in our food, and just about everything else that we buy. I don’t know how you feel about things but its getting scary out there. It will get worse before it gets better. Common sense tells us that it has to get to a point where people rise up and do something about it.  Astrology also points to major changes. On December 11, 2007 Jupiter and Pluto will conjoin in Sagittarius for the first time since November 1758. Among astrologers there has been lots of speculation and discussion and apprehension about this conjunction just six and a half weeks before the planet Pluto goes into the sign of Capricorn of January 25, 2008. Jupiter conjunct “working with” Pluto is usually seen as a very good thing. It is associated with unlimited power and the potential for great wealth. Sagittarius can be very humanitarian and help the reform.  We can do a lot of good with this alignment, at the same time I think we are in for some political nightmares. Also all signs lead to a massive structural upheaval that Pluto in Capricorn promise to bring us in the next 15 years.  Maybe these alignments signify the beginning of a civilization out of control heading for major revolutions and overhauls.  Jupiter and Pluto carry great regenerative powers and I truly believe it is up to each one of us whether our lives end up on the destructive or constructive paths. These planetary alignments speak to of the best or the worst scenario. I think it’s entirely up to each one of us where we take this energy.   Each one of you can help.  Stay positive! Try to live simpler, incur less debt, get rid of credit card debt, wait a few years to trade in yours car, go green, buy from used consignment shops, develop community and share resources.  These are just a few things you can do. We all got a taste of the crazy 2007 energy. It was so different that I couldn’t even write. This year will be better, if you have been learning to let go stuff, old emotions, relationships that don’t work, living within your means etc.  Personally I have felt this for a few years now and this past year have gone down to the bare minimum. Clearing and Clearing!  You can too!  Sit down and write down some goals and intentions.

December Newsletter 2006

Hello Everyone;
            Everyone here at The Jade Fox wishes you a happy holiday!  This holiday season has been wonderful. It has brought to mind a very special Christmas that I experienced years ago. I’d like to share it with you. Growing up we were taught the true meaning of Christmas. Unlike many family’s we didn’t go crazy with gifts, we didn’t worry about the type of gift or how much it cost.  The most important thing for us was to share time together. These past few years I have been missing my Dad who crossed over in 1999. Wishing he was here physically got me reminiscing about that wonderful Christmas. The year was 1976.  It was my first Christmas that I didn’t live home with mom and dad.  It had been quite a year for me.  My Mom had been in the hospital for about 11 months and finally got home in May that year. She had gotten into a horrible car accident, she barely lived and the damage to her body was such that she was in body traction for months. Both legs were broken in several places, both hip joints pushed right thru her pelvis. You can imagine what she went through; the Doctors never thought that she would walk again. She was determined that she would and she did. While she was in the hospital I became chief cook and bottle washer home. My Dad worked nights and I took care of my brother and sister. I really was still a kid myself and I ended pregnant for lack of brains mainly. I know it never would have happened if Mom had been home, but it did so I tried to make the best of it. 1976 was a tough year for us all. I had baby Dan a week after Mom came home from the hospital.  Our close family was in shambles as Mom was the glue and when she was in the hospital for so long we all fell apart.  She came home from the hospital in a wheel chair barely able to walk with a walker. By the end of the summer she had taught herself to walk again. She snuck out of the house one morning and got in the car and drove for the first time since the accident, went to the garage and had them put her dimmer switch for the lights on the dash board because she could feel it on the floor as she had no feeling in her left leg.  In the mean time I stayed with them with the baby and Mom taught me how to be a Mom. As she slowly started to get better, I decided it was time to get out on my own and I moved to Utica to my very first apartment in the fall of 1976. It was a third floor walk up, the previous tenants had painted all the walls black so I got it for a hugely reduced rent and agreed to repaint the whole apartment. I was excited and had grand expectations. I got a job at night working in a hamburger joint downtown. It was pretty scary for a country girl. I had to walk to work at 10pm every night in the dark. I had to leave the baby with my cousin at night while I went to work and then it just wasn’t enough money to live on. So I went down to the county and swallowed my pride and tried to get some help with medical and food. Well because I wasn’t 21 they wanted me to sue my parents for support. My Mom and Dad didn’t have enough as it was, and they were in no position to be sued for support. I would not agree to that so they would not help me. I left there feeling pretty down and scared about the future. I was down about Christmas. I had no money to get Christmas food or a tree, let alone presents. I felt like the whole world was just giving me the cold shoulder for getting pregnant and having a baby so young. But most of all I was just plain scared…. What was I going to do? I was trying so hard to be independent and take care of my child. I decided to follow Moms example and make the best of it. I set about making puppets out of colored felt that I had and before you know it I had puppets made for my brother and sister. I thought they were pretty cute and felt better all ready. I was thinking that spaghetti would be a pretty cool Christmas dinner. I invited my family, as family is what makes Christmas.  I was starting to get stuff ready and Mom and Dad got there early. The Miracle was that Mom walked all the way up those three flights of stairs…. Imagine that! I opened the door and there was everyone and in Dads hand was a Christmas tree. They brought decorations for the tree and food. I can’t even begin to tell you how I felt. It was the most blessed and wonderful Christmas I ever had and it restored my faith in all things good… I have never forgotten their faces as they presented me with my Tree and how they loved the simple things I had made for them. I made Dad a special board for his pin collection with the felt and he used it the rest of his life. Mom got a set of pretty shell pictures on felt.  We were a family and we were together and as I started my own family, I realized that I still had my family’s love and support in the ways that really count. It’s been 30 years since that Christmas and I always remained friends with my parents and we had a lot of fun just being together. There is an empty spot at the table now with Dad gone but he is in our hearts and never far from our thoughts and even after 30 years I still remember him grinning at the door with a Christmas tree in his hand. Mom making it up three flights of stairs with a bag of groceries! That is what Christmas is all about……It’s the LOVE!!!!!
           

I have always been blessed with a loving family and friends and no matter what else ever happens I can handle it, so anyone who thinks that there Christmas will be a shamble because of money or other hard ships just remember what it is all about and just do the holidays with love, don’t worry about the material stuff. Merry Christmas and Happy Yule to all of you and May you all be blessed this holiday and touched by the one thing that counts the most….LOVE!

November 2nd Thursday evening Movie Night 6pm – 9pm movie starts 6:30 sharp
    
Feature Movie: “The Secret” This movie is a must see for everyone. This movie is about manifesting the life you want. It blew me away! I talked about it in last month’s newsletter. Since using the secret in my life, I am in awe of the neat way it works, and it is so simple anyone can put this knowledge into action. One of the things discussed in the secret were “Wish boards”. We will be making wish boards at the Nov Circle of Light anyone planning on coming that has not seen the secret, Please don’t miss it. There is a $3.00 charge and you can bring snacks and drinks to share. We will be having a discussion after the movie.

November 5th Circle of Light. Sunday evening 6pm- 9pm
   
We will be making “Wish boards”. What is a wish board? It can be anything that you want to happen in your life. For example on my last wish board, I put a Ford Ranger truck picture, I now have one. I put wishes for others on my board. It is meant to be a visual representation of things that you want to call into your life it can be simple or elaborate. Made on paper, cardboard, bulletin board, poster board, picture frame or anything else you can hang up to look at and wish and dream…. Some of you have come to do these at the store before; we have done these on Special astrological times, New Moons etc. These boards are so personal they can be anything. Let’s say you wanted a peaceful life, you can find pictures of peaceful images, or draw them. Let’s say you want to learn more about a subject, you could find pictorial info about it. Let’s say you desire to learn astrology and you would like to manifest a teacher or books etc. You could for example find a flyer of an astrology conference you would like to go to, or a book about astrology, a teacher of astrology etc. Making a collage of all this and focusing on it you will be using the secret and these things will come to you. Maybe you want a relationship; you may focus on a collage of happy people in relationships. If you want to learn more about wish boards before the circle, come to Movie night and watch the feature Movie “The Secret”.
     You will need to bring supplies, a poster board, or whatever you want to make your wish board on. Pictures of things you want to manifest. We have a huge selection of magazines and we have lots of glue, but it would help if you brought scissors. We also have the copy machine and many decks of Oracle cards or tarot decks etc, that can be coped as some of those pictures are very archetypal. This is such a fun thing to do and you will be amazed at how different everyone does there board. We will be talking about manifesting and I will be helping anyone who needs help. So just start thinking about what you would like to manifest. Bring a snack to share with others. Come on and join the fun, learn some new ways of doing things!

September Newsletter 2006

Hello Everyone:
      I know that it has been awhile since I have written a newsletter. Well I have been immersed in projects up to my ears. Recently having found a wellness product that makes me feel as perky as a parakeet on amphetamines, I have been putting the energy to good use. Being very physically orientated lately I haven’t felt much like writing. That is not to say that I haven’t been inspired lately. In fact I have been so inspired by everything lately that I am living everyday in a perpetual awe!
      Life happens to you only when you are unconditionally accepting it, when you are welcoming it in whatever shape in comes in, in whatever form it takes. That is what I have discovered from my supposed turn of luck a few years ago. You get to that point where you just stop trying to control everything and begin to accept what is coming your way. Instead of worrying about all the things that are going wrong. Try focusing on what you want to go right. This happened to me over a long period of time. Sometimes you get so overwhelmed you can’t worry about things, if you did they would consume all your time. Going thru a rough spell can be self perpetuating as it seemed to in my case the more I worried about all the bills and the collapse of my life, the more crap just seemed to happen. I finally got to the point where not much else could go wrong. I just couldn’t bear to worry about it all anymore and I started to think of things that would pull me out of the stuff. I started to focus on what I wanted instead of what was wrong. Now it’s been a slow process, but I am beginning to get it. Something that always intrigues me is my life seems to be like the book, “The Celestine Prophecy”. I learn the lesson then I find it all written down nice and neat somewhere. This amazes me for I so want to show others what I have learned and I always seem to find something that explains it nice and easy. I recently was given a movie to watch. After watching the movie, it was just like the Celestine prophecy where the guy finds a piece of the manuscript and realizes he just lived the Insight on the manuscript. Little did I know that I was learning one of the biggest well kept secrets in the world thru out time. Now seeing it all nice and neat in a movie was just so cool. I sure wish I had that movie ten years ago. Now this information that has taken me so long to learn is available to everyone. A few of you watched the Movie at the store at the last Circle of light. The name of the movie is “The Secret” We will be doing a movie night at the store where we get together and watch movies. After the Movie will be a discussion about the movie. The next movie night we will be watching will be “Village of Spirits” A documentary about Lily Dale, New York. It is the oldest spiritual community in the world, and home to over 40 mediums and spiritual healers. Spiritualists claim that life continues beyond death and for decades thousands of people have gone there in the hopes of hearing from loved ones from beyond the grave. The movie is an incredible exploration of Spiritualism. One may never look at death in the same way again. Our friend Robin, David and I recently went to Lily Dale. We enjoyed it. The town itself is just a must see. We went to a workshop featuring James Van Pragh. He is without a doubt the best medium I have ever seen. The town is enchanting. The people we met were awesome, everyone was so friendly and open. David grabbed this movie, thinking that you all might really enjoy it. We will be showing it, on September 28. This is on a Thursday evening we would like everyone to be there by 6pm. The movie will start promptly at 6:30pm. Please bring snacks to share. There will be a donation basket out and we ask that everyone at least give $3.00. If you do not bring a snack or drink to share please leave at least $5.00. We would also like any suggestions on movies with Metaphysical meanings. You can send those to MsJudy@thejadefox.com. We will be doing movie night once a month from now on.
      A note to all you astrologers out there. Uranus is passing thru my 6th house of health, work, and pets. This manifested in the worst way in my life. Most of you know that Uranus is a higher octave of mercury; its energy is sometimes quick and sudden changes. Many of you know of my little Chihuahua “Peaches”. She was 12 years old this year in May. She became suddenly very ill a few weeks ago. Up until recently she has always been a spunky, all about the attitude, little chow hound... She was slowing down, and going blind and many of the natural aging signs. I should explain that six years ago, Peach died on the table while getting spayed. She was revived after 7 minutes. She is the only dog I ever knew who had a near death experience. After this happened a wise vet told me how important good nutrition was for animals, I had been up to that point feeding her moist and meaty dog food, which is a preservative cocktail. Like most Americans I believed the ads about many dog foods and for the first 6 years of her life basically fed her garbage without knowing it. I learned a lot about food after that and as many of you know I became an advocate for teaching people the dangers of many dog foods. I sold holistic brands for years at the store, until enough people were interested and they started carrying the better brands at some of the larger stores in our area. So for the next 6 years Peach lived a healthy happy life. What we never could have imagined is that she had a tumor in her stomach; my feeling is that it is from the BHT and other preservatives in the foods she ate in the earlier half of her life. When she got sick. I thought she had a problem with her teeth. She couldn’t eat and by the time of her vet appointment was not able to hold any food or water. She was ready to go; any of you with an older pet understand this. I knew, even though I still hoped it was just a toothache. The vet told me she probably had the tumor for years. Not wanting her to suffer anymore I had her put to sleep. It was very peaceful. She had a better life than most and was so loved by everyone that knew her. She taught me a lot about a lot of different things. I told her to wait for me on the other side, that I would see her when I get there. The very next day she visited me twice and each time I saw her clearly. She is Ok. For me, it may take awhile as I miss her presence so. This has been a wonderful 12 years. I got Peach a few months before I opened the store. Each time a being comes into my life or leaves it seems to be an initiation of some kind. I wonder what her passing will bring. I already know what wonderful things she brought to my life when she came into it, and every since. She will never be forgotten.
      On to a brighter note. A few circles ago our topic was bring more joy into our lives. Maryanne talked about how she loved show and tell as child. She suggested that we reenact that fun time when we were young. It sounded like fun. October’s circle of light will be a show and tell. With of course a twist. As it is the full moon before Samhain/Halloween. We ask that your story or object be about the paranormal. Like your best ghost story or something you found that has a paranormal meaning to you. This promises to be one of the most fun Circles this year. So get your thinking cap on and bring your best Show and Tell face and share your secret scary thing or object….. I can tell that some people have some neat things to show you; out of the ordinary…Dates are on the Calendar page.
       Penny Blask ”The Crystal Wrap” will be coming for her annual visit December 9th from 11am-5pm. She will wire wrap any crystal you bring to be wrapped as well as bringing her own lovely creations that you may purchase. A perfectly unique gift idea, for the person who has everything. We always look so forward to Penny’s visits. Her wire wrapping is the best I have ever seen. Many of you have seen Penny’s work in the store and most of my personal pieces are wrapped by Penny. Write this one on your calendar, it’s a treat you don’t want to miss.
Thank you all for your continued support of the Jade Fox. You make it worthwhile and fun……. Brightest Blessings Judy

WATCH THOSE THOUGHT FORMS

       In the past few months people have been coming to me to ask “What is going on lately?”
We all know that everything is speeding up. What a lot of you may not realize is includes your thoughts as well. Every thing that you think about is getting manifested faster as well. In my own life this has been a little problematic. I have a huge imagination and can think of a zillion different things in any given hour. This has only become a problem because I am creating in the material world almost as fast as I can think of things in my thoughts. When I see all of you struggling with events in your life it leads me to think you might have the same problem. In essence we are creating thought forms that are manifesting faster because of this new higher frequency that we are living in. In some ways this can be very beneficial in other ways it can result in a lot of negative stuff going on in our lives everyday. We need to become more aware of what we are thinking about, in every moment. If you start to pay just a little attention to your own thoughts you will quickly see what I mean.
       Let’s start with a basic interpretation. What is a “thought form”? We have often heard it said that thoughts are things. Yet few of us have any clear idea as to what kind of thing a thought is. I will try to help clarify that. We cannot draw a thought form in the 3rd dimension, it would be a kin to someone trying to draw a tree, we can make it look like a tree in a drawing by optical illusion, but we cannot go the width and breadth of actually recreating a tree in a 2 dimensional drawing. Similar issues surround trying to explain what a thought form looks like. Not only is a thought form in our 3rd dimension but in many other dimensions at the same time. So I am going to ask you to use your imagination. Einstein said imagination is more powerful than knowledge, so let’s put his theory to work.
       Many of you know what a person’s Aura field looks like. Imagine an egg shape encasing the human body about three feet in every direction. In this field there is a discernable energy that would look like heat rising off the road on a hot summer day as you are driving a car on the road you look forward and you see the very air undulating. This is similar to what I see when I look at a person’s aura. Then I begin to notice colors swirling in this undulating energy. Most people have an underlying color, but as I am looking at them I see blobs of color coming from their heads and swirling and growing. Depending on what they are thinking about the blobs will be different colors. Most seem to float off behind or to the side of a person and dissipate, much the same as a cloud parts in the sky on a windy day. When the person has a very persistent thought it can very well swing around back into the head and come out even bigger, like a thunder cloud gathering and getting bigger before it rains. This is caused by two things a radiating vibration and a floating form. If a thought is simple there is only one vibration, different thoughts have different vibrations. You create the vibration with Mental Matter “for lack of a better term”. Mental Matter gains density according to the power of the thought, and the thoughts that keep coming around can grow stronger and gain a life of their own. An example of this is an addictive thought. For me the most huge thought form that owns me is the thought that I need a cigarette. This thought form has been with me for many years and I bet is the size of Godzilla and hence why I have been chain smoking lately. Now how would I get rid of Godzilla? I would have to be aware of the thought and ignore it. So far Godzilla is kicking my butt. But I think this analogy gives you a pretty good idea how much of an influence a thought form can have. Look at your life, what thoughts keep coming up over and over again. Many people that I do readings for wonder how I can see the patterns that they keep doing over and over again….. Well guess what? Most of us have a Godzilla or two or three that are hanging around getting bigger, getting fed every time it loops around into your mind again. So when I look at folks and concentrate, I just watch for the monster thought forms and there’s the pattern… Now time is going faster so these puppies are growing fast and gaining power from your very own mental matter. So now you might understand why you are so tired, why it seems so difficult to change a bad habit. The only way to change any habit is to become aware of how you are thinking about it. How you are feeding that thought form and how to starve it by ignoring the thought. It isn’t the easiest thing to do because we understand so little about our own thoughts and we hardly think of our thoughts as things. We need to really pay attention as our thoughts can even be harmful to others. As an example of this: I know many of you can remember being in school and walking down the hall, you could feel other kids talking badly about you. Now think for a minute how that made you feel. It hurt and could even ruin the whole day. Sometimes when you live in the same house with someone who is always thinking unkindly of you, their mental matter created by those thoughts literally touches you and you can feel terrible from it and even become ill. Think about the feeling of hating someone. Now realize that every time you hate someone that mental matter that you created with your thoughts of hate will go directly to that person and they will feel it, maybe not consciously but they will feel it. This is also the reason for psychic attacks. Psychic attacks are a barrage of bad thought forms that are affecting the person from the thoughts of another, the person creating the psychic attack may not even be aware they are doing it. They may just be bitter and angry toward the person that is getting attacked and their mental matter keeps growing every time that thought keeps looping around in their mind and they think of the person over and over again. So you see how dangerous this can be. We will be discussing more on this subject at the Circle of Light and I will be teaching different ways to block attacks from others as well as how to stop building these thought forms that are constantly controlling your life, and possibly hurting you or others.
       One a good note I want to add that thought forms can also be used in positive ways. Prayer is a way we build mental matter for good. The basis for most magic is the formation of mental matter through visualization and concentration on an outcome and growing a thought form in a ritualistic way. Thinking loving kind thoughts can and does help heal others when the thoughts are directed to them with loving intent. There are so many wonderful things that can happen by and through the proper use of thought forms. So I hope to see many of you at the Circle of light, where we are going to talk at length about thought forms and how many of these gain so much strength that they become the demons of legend, I have learned that many of these so called possessions are our very own Godzilla’s grown from our own mind…… Let’s learn how to use thought forms instead of them controlling our lives. So can you see a little of what is creating the chaos in your life? Watch your thoughts and see the difference…

Hello Everyone.
       I know that I haven’t written in awhile. I wanted to write a 2006 overview, but a funny thing happened. As I tuned into the energy of this year I felt so much chaos everywhere. Lots of rapid changes on every level that I look. Well this set me back a bit. How do you write an overview that would sound like the stuff we see in the papers? I’ve always been a person who can always see the bright side of everything. I truly believe as a world we have been so disempowered, I have always tried to help people with empowering news. So here I was in a dilemma, so time went by and I wrote nothing. During this time I tried to keep extra busy as I felt all this rumbling in the universal consciousness. Surges of energy. After the surges many people would tell me how they felt everything was falling apart in their lives, many on spiritual paths felt as though they were waiting for something to happen, they felt as though they were at a standstill. Even more perplexing to me were my own readings. Where I used to see a few different probabilities for a persons future, now I could see a hundred, the possibilities are endless. Truly a time where anything can happen in a flash. Through all of this I kept going back to the heart. The mind or brain is in survival mode at all times, it is for the most part paranoid, always wanting to be sure we are ok. Always wanting us to move faster and figure out the future so we can be safe, always afraid of what tomorrow might bring…. Then the heart, always wanting to us to slow down, enjoy life, feel more, think less, love more, be softer, less high tech. The word courage comes from a Latin root “cor” which means “heart”. So to be courageous means to live with the heart. The brain creates a security of logic around itself, becoming fearful. The way of the heart is the way of courage. It is to live in insecurity, it is to live in love, and trust; it is moving in the unknown. It is leaving the past and allowing the future to be. I began to put it all together for myself. I got help with some of the words from Osho. Heart is the future; it is always somewhere in the future. The brain thinks about the past. The heart dreams of the future. So I finally felt I had enough understanding to put the information out to you. I just sat and felt the heart of this year. What I got was Courage!


Don’t call all this craziness in world Uncertainty – Call it WONDER
Don’t call all your fear, insecurity – Call it FREEDOM

In the beginning there is not much difference between the coward and the courageous person. The only difference is, the coward listens to his fears and follows them and the courageous person puts them aside and goes ahead. The courageous person goes into the unknown in spite of all the fears “Osho”

This is the epitomy of this coming year. We are all going to see so many things that seem violent, and even down right just bad. Many changes are coming in how we live and our personal relationships, finances, etc. Everything is being pushed to the limit. Courage means going into the unknown in spite of all the fears. There aren’t any promises for the future; any promise for the future would mean that we would be secure. We know that prophecy can give us a heads up so that we can change the future. So therefore the future is so very mutable. Which is why some of us who can look ahead, can only see probabilities. But being honest, no psychic, seer, diviner can truly promise the future.
I know that in my own life I always want to be certain, always wanting to feel safe. I’ve come to realize that one of the lessons of this store is, it has taught me that everything is uncertain, I wanted to have a business that would give me something to rely on, something to give me a sense of certainty that a job couldn’t give me. Well the gods must have been laughing! The years I have had this business have been filled with uncertainty, I never know if I am going make it from one year to the next. It has never been the stability and certain thing I thought it would be. I’ve been through more changes with the store than a fashion model doing a fashion show…. Yes, it has been uncertain but it has been filled with wonder……After awhile I realized that I was very attached to the outcome, I thought I had to make it work, I needed to take care of myself and I truly felt that because I supported the spiritual , the spiritual would support me. Then it finally hit me, nothing is secure, so why be attached to the outcome. All I can do is march into each day doing the best I can. Moving in a direction that felt right. So I lost my attachment to whether the store made it or not. I just started to try to enjoy the experience of the store itself, with all its insecurity, with all the uncertainty. What a difference that made, I watched other stores close and became aware of what was going on around here with our economy. I marveled that some how some way it always keeps changing and surviving. Because the only thing I can do is be here and be aware and participate in the moment, each moment. So I have become quite used to uncertainty and I think it’s wonderful. How boring if we always knew what was to be and we had all our ducks lined up in a row. True courage for me comes from an awareness that I will be ok, no matter what happens. So will all of you! So many of you are so frightened of the things that are changing in your lives, you don’t know where you are headed and that scares you too. Well Caroline Myss in her tape set about intuition states that the truest intuition is when you don’t know where you are going or what is going to happen. Awareness and intuition are tools to help in this changing time. Be aware of what is going on, use and follow your intuitions even though you don’t know where it’s going to take you. Look at your feelings; pay attention to what feels right in your heart and head that way. Or you can just keep ignoring the uncertainty and insecurity and live in the dogma’s that this world has been passing to us as religion, law, belief systems that don’t work anymore. Choice is yours. I chose Wonder, and freedom from old insecurities and fears. Yes you will still feel fear, but look at it, feel it, where is it coming from and what does it mean and when I become afraid and look at it, it is usually that I am afraid to change something and then I feel that I am aware and can then make a better choice as to how I am going to move forward. I hope this helps you all, because we are all going to need to be courageous in this year ahead. I felt a huge energy shift coming in the spring; it feels like a lot of things will change as the result of something huge as yet unseen, but I can feel it building. So get real with everything in your life, start to put yourself where you feel the best, where you find the most joy. The happier you can be the higher your energy and the better your chances of sailing through difficult times and chaos, as though you had a boat made to float through it……Did we learn nothing from Noah. Remember the future is yet to come, it is already coming. Every moment the future is becoming the present, the present becoming the past. The past has no possibility, you have already moved away from it. The future is coming, ever coming and you are always moving.
 

  You cannot be truthful if you are not courageous
You cannot be loving if you are not courageous
You cannot be trusting if you are not courageous
You cannot inquire into reality if you are not courageous
Hence courage comes first and everything else follows…..”Osho”
 

Namaste Judy
