PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING.

First of all, this is not for entertainment. My "real" name is Wade Greyfox, I am a member of the Muskogee nation, and I have been a professional shaman for almost twenty years (published a newsletter for ten, and taught a course on the subject at Western New Mexico University), and got my first tutoring in the art of doing psychic readings from my wife, soulmate, and partner in crime, Kathy Lynn Douglass--she has been doing them professionally for over thirty years.

She did most of her readings by mail. It is only necessary to see the client face to face in two types of situations one, if one is doing cold readings--that is a scam in which the purported psychic makes general statements and then narrows them down after noting the body language of the client. (John Edwards is said to be a master of this technique. Insight given though cold readings, may be valid--but the practice itself is manipulative and unethical.) Two, when doing an interactive reading--for instance, when you have the client choose certain stones, or cut the tarot deck, things like that.

The oracle, like the Mind itself , is non-local--that is, it is everywhere in general and no where in particular--and hence transcends time and space. That said, I should concede that it is sometimes helpful to know the clients' age and astrological signs (sun, moon, and rising).

Main points--I don't try to say what WILL happen (free will is all), only 1)what is most likely to happen given current circumstances or 2) if a given action is in your best interests. And it is helpful to define "best interest"--what might be "best" financially might be "worst" emotionally. In general, I strive to avoid judgemental terms.

One of the most frequently asked questions has to do with relationships--stay in it or break up. As a rule if someone asks the question, at a deep level, they really want to break up, and are looking for validation. But doing a reading can be amazingly complicated. For instance, take a someone in an abusive relationship. Staying in it may literally be hazardous to the physical and/or emotional health--yet be conducive to spiritual growth. It may even be--or at least, seem--necessary for their financial survival, especially when the abusee is someone with few career skills. What's more, it may well provide some psychological payoffs, albeit in sick and twisted ways.

By "oracle," I mean the physical tool I use for the reading, usually The Crystal Oracle ( this consists of five crystals--rose quartz, aquamarine, black tourmaline, carnelian, and amethyst--which are cast upon a velvet cloth bearing fifteen lines in an asterisk configuration--one then interprets which lines have been "activated"), or a pendulum for simpler yes or no questions. Once in a great while I'll use the Robin Wood tarot--a simple five-card spread for specific questions, the Celtic Cross spread for difficut and complicated issues..


Please do NOT ask questions which would result in my making a medical diagnosis, giving a legal opinion, or something else handled by a more mundane professional. Sometimes you need a "real" doctor, not a witch doctor.

Also, please do not make a request for a third party reading--that is, don't ask me about someone else. I only do readings with the informed consent of the person the reading is about. To do otherwise would be unethical--like snooping or window-peeping.

Another suggestion-- please try to be terse. Long back-story accounts (especially in regard to relationship questions) don't help. There is nothing wrong with venting, but here is not the best place for it.

Sometimes, the readings may not seem to make sense. My wife and I have gotten letters from clients a year or more after doing the reading, saying that it didn't make sense at first, but became perfectly clear over time. If the reading still doesn't make sense after a year or so, get back to me. As a rule, I just channel this stuff, so I can't always explain it.

I take this quite seriously--this thread is ONLY for SERIOUS requests for readings (by serious, I mean from someone who is in crisis, or who is facing a major life decision and feels totally at sea); the readings themselves; and feedback from the clients in their readings. Other posts may be deemed spam, and ignored, flamed or deleted.

Catcalls from the peanut gallery, attempts to hijack the thread, or egregious incoherant blather may be deemed defacement, and hence be infractable. I am not being a Nazi here--thing is, I have trouble keeping track of requests as it is, and it makes it a lot harder when I have to wade through a bunch of off-topic comments. Besides, this sort of thing is not only disrespectful to me personally (which I tolerate) but also deeply disrespectful to those who are sincerely seeking guidance (which I do not).

If you think psychic readings are crapola-- be kind enough to go to B & M and say so, not here.

Finally, people who come here for guidance are sometimes in a state of pain and confusion. For others to make silly or snide comments about them, their questions, or their situations is rude, inhumane, and puerile in the most heinous sense of the word.


(Nte--the old thread was getting too long. If I missed you, please read the above carefully--there's a lot of new stuff--and re-post.)

At this point in my life, is it in my best spiritual interest, to be living how I am now?

Rising Sign: 17 degrees in Virgo.

Sun Sign: 28 degrees in Pisces.

Moon Sign: 11 degrees in Aquarius.

EDIT: I was reading up on the Crystal Oracle at your KaiOaty page, I was wondering if you could use this one as I feel this is more than a simple 'yes' or 'no' question. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what those "rising, sun, and moon" signs are.

I am normally a pieces, and I was born at 11:04 pm in February. My name is Daniel.

Basically, I'd like to know in what direction I should be heading on my spiritual path. Something concrete preferably.

I really appreciate it, and if you need more info let me know.

I am in a odd predicament in my life now, as I am at a road with many paths to choose from.

I have been building my personality, and I am seeing great results. The first question I ask of you GreyFox, is if I should continue going down this path of 'Building my personality'. Will it get me what I am wanting in the future?

I am also moving fast, possibly too fast, through this spiritual journey. I started off as a Christian, and now I am exploring all religions, and using many of their practices and ideas in my own, personal spirtual journey. Am I going in the correct path, again, for what I am wanting in my life (long-term).

A question that I have had for a while, is about my past lives. Either I have had many, or I have a supernatural ability to tap into universal consciousness, as I can feel and experience peoples lives, as they would, and in their shoes. I am literally seeing out of their eyes when this happens. It doesn't always happen with people I know/am interested in. I sometimes go into a trance-like state, and am a person, somewhere, at this present (sometimes past) time. I am living their life. (possibly my ego slips into theirs? (but this never happens with inanimate objects)). The reason I think this could be related to past lives is that it is unfamiliar scenery/out of date surroundings. Also, I have many dreams where I die, and expirience death, and then seemingly directly after that particular death, I am living a new life, in a new body, in a new time.

All of this could be part of something else, but for my own knowledge, I would like a past-life reading (if it can be done). What I would like to know is, how many lives I have had (I have always felt I am an 'old?' soul, or have much wisdom, beyond my years/experiences I have had in this lifetime), if I learned anything significant in certain ones, if I have been a spiritual leader at some point, and if I have been murdered (if so, where).

I know this is a long list GreyFox, but as I have asked you before, I was also wondering if my current life, in this body, will end soon.

I have had many premonitions within the year of a premature death, but also a knowing that I will be completely ready for it when it comes. Will it help people?


Thank you very much GreyFox :)

-EDIT- I am a leo, born in August.

Wassail Arms! Good to see you're back doing readings.

I know you said this thread is now for 'serious' situations, but I would like a general reading again if that's alright. I always found your readings helpful. If you do decide to give me a general reading, feel free to do any other more important requests ahead of mine.

Thanks in advance Arms, even if you choose not to do the reading.

Okay, here's the deal. I intend to answer kurdt's question soon, maybe Friday with the crystal oracle, and do readings in the library with pendulum (or my own intuition) then, too.

Arms, how much information do you need about someone to make a reading?

kurdt318, your reading. My first flash on reafg your post was that the path doesn't matter--all paths lead to God, so to speak, although some ARE less arduous than others. My second flash was that you must be dissatisfied somehow, or you would not have asked. So first, some general advice. Don't have a specific goal, or timetable. This is a sure way to set yourself up for frustration, as is manifesting a time-bound awareness. Time is a notion, not a thing.. Take what happens as it happens. Remember, you are doing the work of the soul, and your soul is not about "doing"; it is about "being."

Okay, this is what I got from the oracle. The quick answer was a "yes, but." Aquamarine on blocks says you have trouble focussing, staying on track. You have a lot of company there. Best thing is, when you notice yourself "wandering," gently steer yourself back on course and don't beat yourself up about it. One of the best pieces of advice I ever got--and I repeat it often, if only because I myself need to be reminded--is "Forgive yourself for being where you are."

Black tourmaline near opposition suggests you are having trouble transcending social conditioning. Remember, enlightenment is not a once and done thing--spirituality is 99% repitition. The superstition of materialism and the myth of separation are pervasive and seductive.

The other three crystals all speak of change of one sort or another. Amethyst says that a fresh start is in store--either a physical move (travel, for instance) or a mental mission or quest. Carnelian encourages making a change, saying that you have the integration and balance needed to make a change, take a chance, with good prospects. Rose quartz reminds you that change is not to be feared, but is an essential part of life.

I'm not sure what those "rising, sun, and moon" signs are.

I really appreciate it, and if you need more info let me know.

I am a tad uncomfortable with this question--there are no "shoulds." The universe is flexible, it will accomodate any choice you make, and will neithe reward you for making the "right" decision, nor punish you for making the "wrong" one. That said, here is what I got from the oracle, having broken down your query into a series of yes/no questions.

Mainstream path or not? Something off the mainstream.

New Age or archaic revival? Archaic revival--which includes shamanism, neo-paganism, hermetic magick, and a host of others.

I narrowed this list down to hermetic magick. "The Secret"--despite all its flaws--is as good a place to start as any. This only addresses one of the hermetic laws, so after that, do some research.

Scrilla--hang in there, please. Kathy reminded me I have a big backlog of past life readings to do--since people actually pay us sometimes for this, I want to get caught up with them first, so I can give a lot of time to your concerns without feeling time pressure.. You can get one through

Thanks. Oddly enough that's what I've been looking into anyway.

yo Arms, can I get a reading? I'm not in a crisis or serious situation as you put it, but I would appreciate if you could find the time for a general reading.

I am pisces 22 years old.

Is it in my overall best interests to continue with the move that I am planning?

Ah well, I do love these threads of your Arms. It feels like a breath of fresh air. It goes without saying that we are all thankful for the time and effort you put into this and we both appreciate and value you and your advice.

I have a few questions, concerning health, relationships, and destiny.

Will I die young? Or perhaps, when will I die? Or, will I die of kidney failure? I have diabetes and kidney issues so I worry about dying from kidney failure...I'll take any other way though. Its not death that scares me its just the crappiness of that kind of death. Its just, I dont quite always take my necessary medication...and sometimes my blood sugar is out of wack and such.

If this can be answered, what is the current state of my body/kidneys? Are they functioning ok, taking lots of damage, or otherwise?

Relationship question...well...should I make the trip to go and see her?

Destiny question...will I achieve greatness?

I was born on march 8th, 1989. I'm a pisces. Don't know what else I could tell you.

Again--read the initial post. I no longer do general readings on request.

The answer to your specific question is yes, but not a strong yes. And do understand that something could be financially costly and emotionally painful yet still be in your over-all best interests.

TruthWielder. First of all, you will die when you choose to, not that we really die at all. More accurate to say that your soul will decide when it has no further use for your current body.

The oracle says you have no need to be concerned with your health right now, but if the issue really preys on your mind, get some medical advice.

The trip would not be in your best interest, but there is no "should" about it. The universe is flexible.

Thank you.

...I still feel I shouldnt miss this opportunity to take the plane ticket and spend a few days with her but...I understand the reading. I think.

7:45 p.m September 26 1989

I suffer from a sickness from time to time. Not so much a physical one but a soul sickness. I’m doing fine right now, but from time to time I find my mind wandering to some dark depths and quite frequently I become lost. I’m naturally a good guy, and do good things simply because I have certain expectations of who it is I am to become. However, being just in my actions has served me only consequence. I remain bold and firm through my darkest trials, whether or not karma is such a thing to truly exist. I find myself conflicted at times, a lot really, and usually interpret this as general psychological growth as a person. In a sense I’m extremely curious as to what direction the oracle can give me, yet in another, I’ve felt lost for.. well.. ever.. Part of me is devoutly stubborn and persist I can figure it out upon my own.

My curiosity is stronger…

I appreciate the reading in advance, that is, if you do have the time and means to do it. If not, I completely understand and have great respect for your practice. Thank you.

Alex,

Hey arms.

Thanks for the response.

As I do not have a xanga account, I was wondering if you (or your wife) has an email account that I could send my request to.

Thank you :)

EDIT- Never mind, I created an account.

I've been at this new job for two weeks now, I am wondering if I should quit the job and put all of my effort into college. Or, should I try to juggle the job and school? Will I find inner peace?

Legato--
. "However, being just in my actions has served me only consequence."

Sorry, but I do not know what you mean by that. Please re-phrase so I don't have to guess at your meaning and intent. All actions have consequences.

I've been at this new job for two weeks now, I am wondering if I should quit the job and put all of my effort into college. Or, should I try to juggle the job and school? Will I find inner peace?

Just sticking w/the job is neither in your financial nor overall best intesrests.

Juggling the two would be in your financial best interests, not in your overall best interests.

Quitting the job in favor of college would not be in your financial best interests, but WOULD be in your overall best interests.

Inner peace? Practice forgiveness. Forgive yourself for being where you are, and forgive everyone who you think has harmed or offended you in some way.

I simply meant, that I have placed every effort possible in making the lives of everyone who surrounds me a little easier, and though I do gain a sense of satisfaction in the happiness it brings them, I have yet to see any personal reward or resolve. Some specific incidents include.. I recently lost a very close friend of 4 years because her love interest and his satisfaction became more important than our friendship. Though a little hurt, I took it like a champ, thought as little of it as possible and after trying to renew a connection for a short while, severed ties out of best interest. This was my single closest friend who I thought very highly of, and with them no longer in my life, things have become slightly dimmer. I have alot of ambition and the means to do good things with my life, but without the right inspiration, I find little purpose to commit to initiative. Not a good reason I know.. I don't know what I'm asking for.. Nonetheless, maybe you can tell me something to get me going in the right direction.

I am a Libra, Born October 20th at 7:06am.

I was wondering if i should continue to look into the spiritual path I am interested on my own, or wait untill i find someone to mentor me.
I am also wondering if moving out when i turn eighteen is in my best interest.

Thank you in advance for your time and help, it means a lot to me.

DON'T WAIT!!! The present time is all yhou have to work with. Follow your own soul's agenda--no guru in the world can tell you what that is--listen to the wisdom of your heart.

Moving out would not be in your over-all best interests.

I have a quick question, and I'm just looking for a straight-forward answer. If you wish, you may explain your answer.

Do you believe there is a god or supreme being?

If yes, what religion would you say you feel is the most reasonable and realistic. (It doesn't mean you have to believe in that religion or not, I just want your opinion).

Thanks.

Religion is a poor place to search for yourself, due to it saying what or how you should believe.

All people are different.

All people reach enlightenment differently.

The religion I think that covers a lot of the bases is Buddhism, although they too leave a lot out.

Regarding religions, I tend to pick and choose from each one. Gnosticism.

Although I do my own thing :)

I was asked ArmsMerchant, but it's all good hah.

Unless you're the same person :confused:

First, thank you for your willingness to do this for us at Totse, we appreciate it.

I am a pisces, born March 6th.

I would like to know if my current career choice is going to pan out like I hope.
I'd also like to know if my romantic situation will turn out in my favor.



Again, thanks. I might have more questions later.

In my book, the more you know and the less you believe, the better off you are. So I don't "believe" in God, I know him/her/it/them/whatever, but not in the conventional sense of some old white dude in the sky, a sort of super-Santa Claus. God is infinite, thus cannot be grokked in fullness with our finite intellects, but is like the sentient and loving field of energy/intelligence that creates and sponsors visible reality.

As far as organized relgions go, they all have some truth. I don't care for labels--they place limits--but if I had to, I'd say I lean towards a combination of Buddhism, Sufi Islam and Hinduism.

Yeah, I'm not the only highly spiritually evolved domesticated primate here. Possibly the most experienced, surely not the smartest.

At the Highest Level, we are all one--no one is better or worse than anyone else.

You seem to have unreasonable expectations regarding the reactions of others. (Any and all expectations are unreasonable.) You control your own thoughts, actions and feelings--this is how you create your own reality.

You have ZERO control over the thoughts, feelings, actions of others. Any manipulative attempt to gain such control is detrimental to your best interests.

At the Highest Level, we are All One. Thus, whatever you do which is truly in your own best interests (and by "you", I mean your essential self, your soul, not your ego or any mask you may assume) will therefore be in the best interests of all.

I am a Virgo, born on August 29th, 1990. I saw someone else post their name, and for whatever reason, I feel like it would be the right thing to do so. I am Christopher.

I have a couple concerns, one more troubling than the other.

First, there's a girl (isn't there always?), and I really like her. It's a simple crush to be sure, but I hope it will work out. She likes someone else though. But her best friend is on my side, as are about all of my friends. And I'm a pretty good friend of hers, as well. For whatever reason, despite all feedback from my friends, I feel unsure of what will happen. I want it to work out, very badly, but I just don't what it is that is in the back of my mind. It's doubt, and I don't know why it is there. I want this to work out. Her best friend told me to take it slowly, and this appears sound. She'll (the girl I am interested in) be away for the next two weeks; I don't know if that's significant, but I felt like it should be said. Can you give any insight on how I should procede, or if this will turn out well?

The second, I think is ultimately the greater concern in my life now, and has been for some months. I'm really, really fucking lost. I'm searching for answers everywhere, reading not only the Bible, but the Quran and Tao Te Ching. I have no idea about any kind of spirituality or religion, outside of the fact, that I am sure there is a higher force in existence. I've gone to priests, and had discussions with friends and Church youth leaders. One Catholic priest, deemed me a "Seeker". I "felt" things that assure me there is something more, but when I continue to look, I get let down more often than I find something. Will I find, or can I find, what I'm looking for? I've held a deep hatred for "God" or whatever may be allowing things to go so wrong lately in my life, and other's. It stems from confusion and frustration. Can I escape this?

Your insight would be appreciated, GreyFox. I think my concerns fell within the parameters of your original post, if I understood them correctly. If they have not, I apologize.

Is it just me or can I not read any posts in this thread starting from page 3...

No, and no.


Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Is it just me or can I not read any posts in this thread starting from page 3...

Beats me. But yesterday there was a lot of odd shit happening when I tried to post, and weird error messages popped up for no apparent reason.

Hi,

Do you see me working as a doctor in a hospital, as in an ER doctor or surgeon?

Is this the right question to ask :confused: , I know you take this seriously and I don't want to piss you off since you're heart is out there in this thread.
Do you need anymore info?

Thanks.

I'm going to focus on your second issue, since it is more important. At the risk of sounding cold, relationships come and go. I know this from experience, being on my fourth marriage and having had sexual relationships with upwards of a hundred perople in my life, so far. But your soul is forever.

First of all, relax. Spiritual progress is inevitable. The best way to advance it is to refrain from labelling yourself in any way. That only tends to limit you. In the Highest reality, there are no limits. You are not what you do, or what you think, or even what you feel--that is mostly ego stuff, transient and ultimately unimportant. You, the real you, your essential self, is eternal, immutable, boundless and free.

As far as hating God goes, I assume you are talking about the petty micro-managing deity portrayed in the Bible. As far as I'm concerned, ain't no such thing. God is not some super Santa Claus, making a list of who's naughty and nice, and handing out goodies and punishments accordingly. God simply loves and creates, and is not even an entity per se, but rather the spirit/energy/intelligence/information that creates and sponsors visible reality.

As a spiritual exercise, I suggest you practice forgiveness. Forgive everyone you feel has done you wrong--strive to see everyone in the light, and realize that they are all doing the best they can with what they have. Strive, too, to see yourself in the light, and forgive yourself for being where you are.

I hope this helps. Keep in touch.

Hello ArmsMerchant

my name is Christian. I was born on May 16th 1988, my sign is Taurus. I'm at a turning point in my life and could really use an answer to the following question:

Is joining the military right for me?

May seem like a trivial matter, but it consumes most of my time these days.

Thank you for any guidance you can to offer, friend.

May seem like a trivial matter, but it consumes most of my time these days.

Thank you for any guidance you can to offer, friend.

I try to avoid using judgement-laden terms like "right"--at the Highest Level, there is no difference between right and wrong--these are labels we place on things,a dn they say more about the labeller than the labelled.

That said: joining the military would NOT be in your over-all best interests, nor would it be in your best interests financially or in the interests of maintaining the structural integrity of your physical body; it would, however, be in the best intererests for your spiritual growth.

Arms,

I have recently came to the end of a relationship that lasted over two years; right before it 'ended' part of me felt compelled to evaluate my life, myself, and my overall goals in this life. Although in some ways I am still trying to find my inner closure with everything that happened, I am also trying to see what is best for myself. I now have a few opportunities, and I am unsure what would be in my best interest. I can move, and further my education, which would inevitably secure an even higher paying job. However, I also have the opportunity to take a path that I thought I have always wanted, albeit lower paying; doing this however would require more mentally and physically than I have ever had to face before. Which path would be in my best interest? Which would lead to more happiness?
Also, my current 'spiritual' path, is it where I should be looking to further my spiritual, and personal, growth/fulfillment? As a young teenager I first began to learn about, and follow, certain practices; over time my interest was lost, or rather put aside. Recently I have felt drawn back.

Sincerely, thank you for your reading, as well as any advice you give. I almost forgot, I am a Leo, born on 30 July. If you need any more information please ask.

The Agency.

Hello Arms,

You have given me a reading before, and aside from being extraordinarily accurate, I lived by it. However, I feel it is time for another. The last few weeks have been tough on me. At times I feel nothing but rage emanating from my body and others nothing at all. Parts of my life are just crashing down on me while others are almost peaking. As far as my religious beliefs go, I come from a family of devout christians while I myself have no set belief system. I draw many of thoughts from Buddhism, Taoism, Shamanism, Hinduism, and a few other Eastern practices.

Thanks in advance.

Also, this is pretty important to me. If you feel it would be better, you can email it to me at shakedown262@hotmail.com

I was going to use your xanga site, but it confused the hell out of me, I guess I'm not as much of a computer geek as I thought i was.
Anyway my question: I am a gemini 6/18/1959 I would like to know what I can do to make my relationship with Maria come to the conclusion I want. It seems as if there is a "wall" that I somehow have to punch through.

You need to seriously rethink this. The wall you mention may well be her free will.

But in general, we push away what we want and attract what we fear. This is kind of the dark side of the law of attraction.

Hello Arms,How does my future career look?Am I going to be wealthy?Thanks in advance.

Hey! Thank you for that answer. Rethink? yes I will. Free will? I don't think so, I feel it is something else, but you are wiser than me in these matters. Thank you for your honesty, it was NOT what I wanted to hear. But then it not always is!:(:(:(

I don't see a question here, but I want to addrsssd the rage issue. Rage is anger denied--suppress/repress anger, it breaks out as rage. Perghaps you have been taught that anger is bad. Not true--anger gives you permission to say :"no thanks."

Taken to extremes, however, anger is just another mask that fear wears, and fear is your worst enemy.

Hello Arms, I'll keep this short...I was in a relationship that was very important to me, but I stopped seeing the girl about 6 months ago. We've kept in contact through emails but I was wondering, will this relationship eventually come full circle? I saw a tarot card reader and she said I will see her again and the relationship will come full circle, but I wanted to see what your take on it was, thanks.

This is an intellectual curiosity and while I have no real belief spiritually I'm still open.
I was born Friday 13th April, which was coincidently Good Friday.
At this point I feel a desperation to escape my situation and while I have tried to keep my options as wide as possible I find myself in a situation which requires a degree of decisiveness. I don’t think I should have been born in this place at this time and I am taking steps to gain freedom.
I intend to travel to Nicaragua and try and establish what I want to do but ultimately I am not sure that I can escape this way or any other way.
Is this what I should be doing?

My take borders on dubiosity and skepticality. Are you sure you are qwuoting the reading precisely? Darn few psychics presume to say what "will" happen, only what is most likely given current conditions.

And "full circle" is a phrase so vague as to be meaningless. And "see her" is not the same thing as "date her," "fuck her" or "have a significant relationship with."

Competant psychics tend to be very careful how they word q & a's.

Yeah, thats exactly what she said, she said I will have an opportunity to have a significant relationship with her and communication will 'open up' after I see her again. So what are you saying though? I'll see her again but never have a significant relationship?

Never mind that was pretty straight forward I was just looking into it too much...I need to be worried about more important things, your post reminded me of this palm reader I saw a few months ago
http://www.crystalinks.com/
She pretty much contradicted everything the tarot card reader has said so I'm lost. She said I'm not going to get married and I'm not going to be successful at school, the tarot card reader said I will get married and be successful at school. I feel I'm at a transition point in my life, the last few years have been rough, do you see things looking up? Is there anyway I can change my future, I really need to make something work. Thanks.

I've been having financial problems lately. Is there going to be an easy resolution to my account problems, or is the resolution going to hit me hard?

Also, how shall my writing go in the near future? Or in general, my sense of artistic power and confidence?

Anything interesting besides what I'm asking for, that you can see?

Thanks

At the risk of sounding like I'm copping out, everything you ask about is entirely up to you. How "hard" things hit you is up to you--you may accept the way the universe flows or fight it--this is usually not in your best interest.

See, it's all tied together--everything that happens is a result of the entire universe conspiring to make it so, which is why fighting reality can get so tiring.

The wise--and almost impossible-- thing to do is live in a state of power, freedom, and grace. Transcend fear, manifest unconditional love, and forgive everyone you have ever imagined did you wrong. See yourself in the light, see others in the light, and forgive yourself for being where you are.

Thanks Arms.

My first look at your reply put me out of it, I've slept a lot the past two days, just looking to be away from the world. I'm waiting right now for things to happen, to help my situation out, but I gotta be patient.

The hardest person to forgive is going to be myself. I think it's possible though.

Anything else you can impart?

My name is David, born March 30, 1990 (Aries). Last time I asked for a reading Arms, I said I was going to major in psychology but I now feel I would be better off doing philosophy. I figured in the future, what will matter is not what you know about human behavior and the brain (psychology), but rather what you know about your existence and mind (philosophy). Just typing this paragraph up to help you understand more of who I am....


Arms, I have been having dreams about a girl. I am having a dream about this person almost every day. In fact, I had one last night! They are not "bad" or anything like that. We are having a good time walking, telling jokes and laughing, the typical stuff a couple would do. Here is the thing...I have not seen her in 2 months and I have not had a conversation over 5 minutes with her in over 5 months. During high school, I had a crush on her that would never go away. In the 12th grade, I got really close to her as a friend and when I tried to go in for the kill, she rejected me. A few days later, I told her how she manipulated other guys (I was not the only person who felt this way) to get what she wanted, and after that, I never spoke to her again, maybe a 'hi', but thats about it. The day before the end of the school year, I gave her a call to say I was sorry because I promised her if I wanted her friendship back, I would apologize to her for what I had said.

I have been having these dreams for about 2 weeks now and they are killing me (not literally) and here I am, trying to decipher if my dreams are telling me something, if anything.

^Dream interpretation is not my forte, but here goes anyway. Tradionally, we see two kinds of dreams: big dreams and little dreams. Little dreams are just sort of mind candy, mental house-cleaning, don't mean anything. Big dreams--prophetic, karmic, whatever-- are usually characterized by vividness and recurrence. Sounds like you have a big dream thing going.

According to Jung, these dreams are deeply symbolic, but everything circles back and relates to the dreamer. My advice would be to try to isolate each element of the dream, see how it relates to you, your hopes and/or fears.

I was born Friday 13th April, which was coincidently Good Friday.
At this point I feel a desperation to escape my situation and while I have tried to keep my options as wide as possible I find myself in a situation which requires a degree of decisiveness. I don’t think I should have been born in this place at this time and I am taking steps to gain freedom.
I intend to travel to Nicaragua and try and establish what I want to do but ultimately I am not sure that I can escape this way or any other way.

Forgoten me?
Although I probably should say South America, as I havn't decided fully on the specifics

I did not respond to your question because it is meaningless. There is no "should"--erase it from your working vocabulary. The word implies some sort of moral imperative, which is spurious.

"Escape"? There is no escape from your own doubts and fears--fear is your only enemy, and what you have of it will follow you wherever you go.

Your soul--your higher self, your essential self--chose the circumstances of your birth, and continues to create your own reality even as you experience it.

You will have freedom as soon as you realize that you ARE free--right now.

FYI, I intend to start doing general readings again when I get caught up on my backlog of past life readings.

my life has changed more, and in ways i never though would ever happen in just the last few months.. im so lucky for these experiences..

theres a long road ahead of me now. it could go in any number of directions.. if you have the time to give me a reading and some advice it would be greatly appreciated :)

There was a very strong emphasis on career issues , and strong encouragement to transcend fear and go for what you really want--follow your bliss, in other words. Specific advice career-wise was heavily in favor of public service--if law, being a public defender; if medicine, public health as opposed to lucrative (and stressful) private practice.
\
The oracle also advised you not to rely on intuition, but use businesslike methods in order to reach your decisions. The irony of this is not lost on me.

i guess its a good thing i joined the army then :). i have a question though.. how am i supposed to know when not to rely on my intuition? should i never rely on it? that feels so.. unnatural.

thanks so much for the advice :)

That is a real good question. But try this--when you think your intuiton might be askew, ask yourself this: "What would love do?"

Hey Arms, I'm 18 blah blah blah, that's not really important.

I'm going to leave home this month and travel around the country for a few months, then I'm going to meet up with someone I'll be hitchhiking, dumpster diving and sleeping outdoors because I'm cheap. I've already making preparations by trying to get my drivers license, pretending to go to college classes to keep my parents at bay, selling my possessions, buying gear, and making money in other ways(sold plasma today).
Is this in my best interest? Any general tips/vibes you have about this?
The first reading you did for me a while ago was quite good.

I'd really love a reading. I'm at a point in my life where I need to start thinking about a career. Any general advise you can give me? I'm not really sure how these things work, or how much information you need, but if you can see something I would really appreciate your input.

I'm not meaning to be disrespectful, in fact I am quite curious, but is life advice really a good thing to be asking a psychic?

In fact what questions would be best suited to ask a skilled psychic as opposed to anyone else?

This sounds like a great idea--up to the part about "pretending to go to college." Am I correct in assuming this means you intend to scam your folks, and maintain an elaborate lie? If so, this idea is fraught with peril for many reasons. There must be some way you can do this honestly--simply postpone college, or just do your travelling during summer vacation.

If you can do this with your parents informed consent, the oracle and I say go for it.

aliveupboy, your reading. Oracle says that you would do best in a non-regimented setting due to your your nonconformist streak. Military, education and other bureaucracies probably are not good choices. Don't hesitate to take some risks, think outside the box, and use your creativity to your advantage.

Don't let lack of self-confidence hold you back. Efforts made now will pay off later, and in surprising ways.

Kinda scary that my dad said basically the same thing. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

Edit: ArmsMerchant how did you learn to do these readings? I mean I know you probably went to school and learned from all kinds of talented people over many years but is there any specific technique you have discovered? I don't mean to underplay the difficulty involved but are there any articles or beginners guides you could maybe link to me? I've always kinda felt a paranormal sense, even as a kid I would be able to do weird things (like be able to say the next card drawn will be a 3 of hearts). I can't really explain it but.. I dunno... weird things happen to me. The accuracy of your reading really has me interested in this field now.

I'm 20.

Is martial arts in my future?

Is going back to school in my best interests?

Can you please give me guidance in choosing a career, as you did for aliveupboy?

Can I get a general reading dealing with all aspects of life, please? Thanks.. again. :)

Sure--I hope to do it over the weekend, post it Monday.

Hey Arms I was wondering if I could get a reading? I would really appreciate it. I've just started college and while I'm meeting new people and making 'friends' every relationship feels empty and surface, it's as if I don't 'connect' with people at all. (vague I know but it's the best way I can describe it)

I was wondering is this going to change sometime in the future? I've never had a serious relationship with a girl and that is another aspect of my life that really bothers me, it's a root problem that I think virtually all of my other problems spawn from, is this going to change in the future? Anything important regarding any aspect of my life I would really appreciate, I think I've found something I want to do with my life as far as a career goes and am satisfied with other areas of my life but I am struggling with building satisfying relationships.

Also I posted a while back about a woman I saw who got stunningly accurate messages from angels. She has told me that my 'soul mission' is very important and I am supposed to do something to help a large number of people. She has told me that if I continue using drugs I am going to 'sink fast' but I find both points hard to believe, I use drugs as a learning tool and am not even close to an abuser and I'm going to a decent university majoring in psychology, I planned on trying to write a book but nothing major like she is expecting. I wouldn't have asked at all if the other messages she recieved weren't so accurate and consistent. When she was talking about this important soul mission I supposidly have she described a picture taken over 10 years ago in perfect detail and said that was when I was 'infused' with the soul mission...unfourtunately her angels refuse to shed any light on what it is that I'm supposed to do.

^Do you happen to live in Ontario?

edit: i'd also like a reading concerning my daily experience of reality, witch.

coolwestman, your reading. The overwhelming theme was activity--you are up for some very busy and productive times. Now is not a time to rest on your laurels, but reflect on your accomplishments, see how your past efforts have paid off, maybe pat yourself on the back, and take off from there with renewed vigor, especially with regards to helping others, fulfilling their needs.

Career issues in general are especially favored--if you want it, go for it.

Hey Arms, did you ever get my request on your Xanga (Or Kaotays?). I followed what you asked me to do, and it has been around 2 months now. If you don't want to do it, or don't have time I understand, just let me know :)

Hey Arms, did you ever get my request on your Xanga (Or Kaotays?). I followed what you asked me to do, and it has been around 2 months now. If you don't want to do it, or don't have time I understand, just let me know :)

Dunno if it was you, but Kathy told me that someone didn't so much make a request, but just c&p'd a bunch of stuff, repeatedly. She moved on to more coherant requests.

qazwsx, your reading. First the warning--the oracle sees a threat to your health and/or financial status. Any chance there is an addiction or unhealthful lifestyle choice tthat is getting out of hand? Any chance you might be running with a crowd that influences you in ways that are not in your best interest? If so, break from the pack.

Regarding career, think like an entrepreneur, not a wage-earner. In relationships, you can get close to someone by finding out what they want, and supplying it (this sounds dangerously close to manipulation, but that is what the oracle said, so here it is). In any case, you can put your own needs first, since at the Highest level, we are all one--hence, what is best for yourself is best for all of us.

Generally, this is a good time for you to kick back, gather strength, get your head together, meditate, plot world domination, whatever reflects your greatest and grandest conception of yourself.

One final note--you are getting more acceptance from others than they may express or you may realize.

Another final note, which I forgot to mention --the oracle says yes, going back to school is in your overall best interests.
(Off-topic--where did you get that user-name, and how the heck does one pronounce it? Is it Polish?)

patterson, your reading. The thing that jumped out at me was a huge emphasis on the importance of family and friends to you. In fact, the whole reading related directly to relationships. One specific thing, look for some good news or an invitation from others. And if you get in a jam, someone may well come through for you when most needed and least expected. In general, think in terms of nurturing--giving as well as getting.

You may feel conflicted--someone who is trying to be supportive or protective may seem to be stifling. Remember that forgiveness is key to spiritual growth and peace of mind--and it is often easier to forgive someone trying to do you harm than someone who is trying to help you--hence the saying "no good deed goes unpunished." Also remember that it is often easier to forgive others than to forgive yourself.

Partnership--in general, opposites attract, and in a business sense, it may well be best to team up with someone unlike yourself, who complements your strengths. In romantic relationships, however, best to be with someone who is on your spiritual wavelength.

Dunno if it was you, but Kathy told me that someone didn't so much make a request, but just c&p'd a bunch of stuff, repeatedly. She moved on to more coherant requests.

Yeah, I copy and pasted my request from this thread, over there, just like you asked me to.

It was me. Should I do anything further?

What can you inform me of regarding my inhibitions? They are ruining me.

What can you inform me of regarding my inhibitions? They are ruining me.

The insight you are showing is the first step in transcending them. But remember, whatever you focus your attention on grows--so rather than focussing on the problem (the inhibition), focus on the solution (transcending fear).

3126, your reading. Great emphasis on spirtuality and growth. Breakthrough energy is indicated--a problem that has been stifling you may suddenly be solved through insight or intuition or moving in a fresh direction--pay attention to your intuition and the wisdom of your body. If the idea of doing a given thing just doesn't feel right, don't do it.

The oracle also reminds you that giving can be more gratifying than receiving.

Yeah, I copy and pasted my request from this thread, over there, just like you asked me to.

I can't imagine my ever advising someone to cut and paste. All I can say is go back to her site, read the FAQs CAREFULLY and then govern yourself accordingly.

What do I have to be afraid of? Is your concept of fear entirely different than mine?

Is it possible to you that I already have transcended fear, and that my problems correlate with a poor chi flow/ chakra balance?

By inhibitions, without giving TMI, I specifically mean physical discomfort and a complete loss of energy/drive.

Hey arms, can i get a reading?

I'm 19.

I'm currently in school for culinary, i fully intend on finishing because I'm almost finished with my schooling. But i now feel that being in the food industry may not be the best path for me.

Can you please give me guidance in choosing a career, as you did for aliveupboy?

Thank You.

Sure, but remember, "best" is a meaningless term to the oracle--what may be most lucrative may be physically damaging or emotionally painful--I deal with this issue at some length in the original post--please read it now if you have not done so already.

So what I will do is ask if your choice is in your "overall best interest" which sorta factors everything in together.

Okay, now I get it. I define inhibition as "not doing something due to fear." What you call inhibition, I would call lack of motivation or maybe stamina or just energy.

Maybe your physical discomfort is your body's wisdom telling you that whatever it is you feel inhibited about , doing it is not in your best interest.

ByFar, your reading. The quick yes or no answer to whether or not that career choice is in your over-all best interests is yes, but--the "but" being anxiety on your part. The situation is complex, and your anxiety understandable. Look at your situation in the context of power--is someone trying to manipulate or control you? Or are you trying to exert more power than you own, or alternately, feeling powerless?

Opportunities abound, they are in arm's reach, but you may be feeling like you bit off more than you can chew, that there is just too much on your plate. (Sorry, couldn't keep from using foody metaphors.)

My feeling is that such a career choice demands a passion for it. You are looking at lots of hard work both in school and in practice, with reklatively modest financial rewards but huge rewards in terms of personal satisfaction.

AM, I'd like a general reading for the remainder of this year and next. Also, I'm unemployed for now, but I've been job searching. Will I land one anytime soon? What will be an effective course of action towards landing one, preferably one I'll enjoy? I've applied at many places, but people are either dragging their feet, or they're just not going to hire me, and these are places that say their hiring. Is our supposed economic recession a factor for me? I'm not a felon, I only have a couple minor non violent misdemeanors on my record, is that a factor?

As for my signs, they are 5.37 degrees Aries Sun, 24.35 degrees Taurus Rising, and 11.37 degrees Libra Moon.

Bump.

^Got it. I'll do one general reading on career/finance, hope to post it Wednesday--I won't be online tomorrow, costs too much to drive to the library every day (I burn a gallon of gas every time).

Hey arms, I got arrested the other night for some stupid charges, any foresight on what will happen or what I should do?

I feel kinda cheated, because me and a friend were walking down the street (I was a tad drunk) and we saw a garage door partially open, so I opened it all the way, and right when I opened it the owner of the house pulled into the driveway. I wasn't even planning on stealing anything, im just an adventurous idiot when I drink. Anyways the guy came up to me and tried to pin me against a brick wall (which is illegal in Canada even though I was trespassing). To get him off of me I kinda ran into him a bit, just trying to avoid being attacked, and he fell over and cut his hand. After this I ran away but later realized I left my phone there (which is like a wallet). So I turned myself in to the cops. Their charging me with breaking and entering plus assault, which I think is unfair, I mean I was trespassing but I really didn't mean any harm and I was just trying to defend myself (I never attacked him or anything). This is my first offense so I should get off pretty easy... I hope...

Just a little upset because on paper those charges make it seem like I kicked in the door to someones house and then KOed an innocent person. I do feel bad that guy cut his hand, but in Canada you're not allowed to do what he did. Unfortunately I can't prove he hit me first, and the cops will take his word over mine. I am seeing a lawyer tomorrow but they don't have the same abilities you do. I know you probably want to avoid this for obvious reasons, and if you do I won't take offense in anyway.

I feel I should be charged with trespassing (seeing as how I didn't break into anything) and I'm not sure about the assault. I think it was self defense but I dunno... Anyways, My main question is, should I plead guilty to these charges (even though I don't think I am) and hope for a mercy sentence, or should I plead not guilty and attempt to fight the charges (but if I lose the penalties will be worse).

If you're not comfortable answering that just say so and I will understand. I know this is a legal question, but you can do things lawyers cannot.

^If this happened in the US, I'd say to get a PD, and see if you can plead out to a lessor offense--failing that, plead nolo contendre and hope for public service and SIS.

$tinger--first a warning. You may find yourself running late or misunderatanding prior agreements. The remedy for this is to pay more attention to people and things, and practice forgiveness.

The oracle is quite enthusiastic regarding your prospects--just syas "go for it". The caveat being "you can get what you want, as long as your behavior reflects your best sense of yourself."

Remember, you create your own reality.

Thanks.

Hello Wade.

I asked for a reading in one of your previous threads and received no answer. I'm not upset about this, as I realise I'm seeking something from a total stranger and offering nothing in return, but if you could find the time to look where I cannot I would appreciate it.

Basically, I find myself disillusioned with the world I was born into, and like I lack any sense of real purpose, direction, or connection with the world at large. I find myself wasting my potential trying to numb myself and forget about the things that cause me pain.

Is it in my best interest to stay where I know for now or to search for myself elsewhere?

Is there a love for me in this world? How should I seek it? Do I even need to?

My skills and interests are full of diversity. I have a burning talent for music and writing, and also an instinctive love for the wild places in the world. Is there a particular path I would be better walking down, or will it become clear to me if I just keep muddling along?

I'm having trouble thinking of specific questions relating to my whole life as at this stage I'm still kind of waiting for the off, as it were, and there's not a whole lot of actual content to ask about. Anything the oracle tells you about me, any vague nudge in one direction or another, would be helpful to me. Thanks for your time.

Oh yeah, by the way, I was born on early on 26th March 1990 if that helps.

I'll do a general reading later--what follows is just what springs to mind now.

If you are disillusioned, cherish it. The fewer illusions you have, the better off you are.

Separation is an illusion, buit a convincing one--much of society (especially the worlds of politics, advertising, and entertainment) conspire to foster it. At the Highest Level, we are All One.

By numbing yourself, I assume you mean by drugs. If that is correct, beaware that you are totally screwing up your brain chemistry and doing a wonderful job of hindering your spiritual and emotional growth. Perhaps some of the pain you experience is growing pain.

The lessons that life offers are not free, and often the price excacted is pain. But while pain is mandatory, suffering is optional. It is possible to simply refuse to suffer.

Hey Arms, its me, again.

Hey Arms, I am finally in college and majoring in philosophy. I wanted to know if it is best for me to pursue this... I am making a video (film) that showcases how the the majority of the world today has lost its true purpose, whatever that may be. I will be interviewing several "intelligent" people asking them questions such as "why are we here, what makes up thought, what is consciousness, what/who is god, what do we have in it all, and why have people messed it up, etc etc"

Some input on that would be great!

Also...

This may sound strange BUT...
Do you or your oracle feel something when you associate the names "Mustaquim" and "Lailatul" with me? If you could look a bit into that I would love you forever! (not that I don't love you right now =D )

Some info about me to help you. My name is David, born March 30, 1990 (Aries). Attending Baylor University majoring in philosophy. I am left handed.

I have nowhere to turn but here. I guess you would be the best man to ask this.

Will the enchantment work?

Is it dangerous to me?

My name: Stefan
I'm a Taurus, born in May

Capricorn d.o.b 12/24/90

What kinda future do i hold in a positive,happy aspect?

I am a double gemini. Born May 31, 1992. I can certainly notice it's influences on the development of my personality. On one side, I am your typical high school student. On the other, I am completely different. I am spiritual, superstitious, wise beyond my years, yet incredibly foolish. I do not tell anyone I know irl about my "other side," as none of them would expect nor understand it.

I also notice that there are days where I am completely "in the zone;" days where I am able to express myself easily and naturally. Then there are others where the words come out wrong, I get tripped up, etc. Days where I am just plain out of it. I understand that everyone goes through good and bad days like this... but it cant be to the extent that I experience.

Anything you can tell me about this is helpful in my quest for self knowledge.

Please rephrase your question so it is grammatical and coherant.

moby_dick, your reading. ALthough there is a suggestion that you should try something new, break away from the pack, there is also a strong warning against moving too fast, particularly in any sense of spiritual evolution. Specifially, avoid trying to jump-start growth through drugs, extreme asceticism or anything else which might endanger your health.

Try to get out of your head and into your heart--that is, rely less on logic and more on intuition. Do what feels right. If you are out of touch with your feelings, do what reflects your greatest and grandest conception of yourself. If you aren't sure of that, ask yourself what would love do.

Everything you say sounds pretty normal for a double gemini. If you haven't done so, look into the possibility that you might be an Indigo kid--that would explain a lot, too.

Seriously, much of what you say reminds me of me. I would advise you to stop labelling days as good or bad. It isn't the days that are different, it is you, and how you live them.

When you get down on yourself for not being--I dunno, smarter, stronger, more whatever--forgive yourself for being where you are. You are right where you are supposed to be.

Oh, don't forget--Mercury is retrograde now, so you may have more trouble communicating than usual.

First, I would like to thank you for such a speedy reply and for your insight.

Anyway, I just did some research on "indigo kids" (having never heard of the term before you just mentioned it), and it appears that I fall in that category. The characteristics described in the wikipedia article entitled "indigo children" might as well be in my wikipedia article (if someone was so inclined as to go about writing one about me :P).


[quote]

By good and bad days, I dont mean the days themselves, but my personality. Or better yet, the way that my personality is expressed. On a "bad" day, my negative traits are emphasized, and on a "good" day, my positive traits shine through.


When you get down on yourself for not being--I dunno, smarter, stronger, more whatever--forgive yourself for being where you are. You are right where you are supposed to be.

Oh, don't forget--Mercury is retrograde now, so you may have more trouble communicating than usual.

That would explain a bit. I have noticed that my ability to express myself through written words is always far more profound than that of my spoken words. For example, if I were talking to you face to face rather than writing on a forum, I would struggle far more with my phrasing and word choice. Any idea why that is?


Also, what do you know about the number 31?

Please rephrase your question so it is grammatical and coherant.


are u as fake as every other motherfucker?

Give him time.

Ibanez--first of all, about those "negative" traits--for one thing, try looking at them as your "positive" traits writ large--carried to extremes. For another, by all means, do not deny them--they are part of you, and they will not be denied. Try to push them down, they will pop up.

I don't do numerology--I'd suggest checking out a numerology website for insight on the 31 thing.

You passed me Arms :(

Never mind my question. Tried it, failed. Taking it to a proffesional.

thanks a lot.

Sorry--you are now on the list--the "real" list, on paper.

Sorry--you are now on the list--the "real" list, on paper.

thanks!

Davidius_Green, your reading. I asked the oracle what do you need to know or be reminded of. Two main themes came out--change, and relationships. This is a time for new beginnings, especially things relating to health or finances. (Money aspects in general are looking good, however, as are career aspects.) Very strong emphasis on friends and family--lots of help coming from that direction--maybe when and from whom you least expect it.

This is a time to trust your intuition--if something "feels right," go for it.


In general, progress is forecast and your point of view is validated. Trust yourself, and forgive yourself for being where you are.

It seems that I am unbanned, mysterious lover.

I have served a pecular term in understanding, through your guidance.

I would like to apologize, but hope that you are above apologies. I offer here my sincerest apology and thanks of all.

As we remain seated here, eating of the edifice, I ask of you an act of hope and charity.

It has recently been made clear to me that I must be come one not through myself but through many.

I ask of you, please, guide my love through your love of guidance. Ever condemning and accepting of myself.

-Moonius, an ode to joy.

As I returned here to post this anomaly, I saw at the top of the forum the first unstickied thread to be "How one becomes a shaman." This speaks to me on many levels, and I hope that I may interpret it well.

It makes me feel as if my path must be self-forged, found within others and myself simultaneously. Please, offer me what you can so that I may be offered ability.

Moonius, know this. First of all, you already have what you need. All the love, all the hope, all the strength, all the compassion you now need or will ever need--all is within you, right now. You only have to find it, own it, and use it. Verily is it written, the kingdom of God is within you.

If you want specific advice, the best I can offer is do this--meditate. There are many techniques (google it), and people who push a particular one often have their own agenda. Try some different ones, see what works for you. I promise you this--it WILL NOT be easy. It may well be the most difficult and frustrating thing you have ever attempted.

I had a feeling you would say that.

Thanks.


Would it be be erroneous of me to attempt to meditate with no particular method in mind?

Something spontaneous, I think.

edit: hahaha, i'll be on my way :D

Sure--it worked for Ram Dass.

thanks Arms but you did not reflect on my last question
"Do you or your oracle feel something when you associate the names "Mustaquim" and "Lailatul" with me?"

I am very curious to know this...

Hello Would it be possible to im you my questions?

Hello Arms,

Not 100% sure what to post here, but: I'd love a general reading if possible.

Sign is Sagittarius, I believe, if that matters.

Thanks!

Hello Would it be possible to im you my questions?

I don't even know what IM means, being almost as computer illiterate as John McCain.

You're next. I hope to have your reading done and posted by Monday.

could you do a reading for me?
Iam having trouble with alcohol and family.
my birthday is 4/7/1967

well would it be possible to email you my question or something like that just something a little more private is what im asking for.

Bit embarrased about this one but I'd really like to give this a try. After all you were the one who adviced me to go look for myself what works.

I'm trying cut the bonds with my family. But I don't want to never see them again. This is complicated. I've never felt attached to my family. I live in a totaly different world of values. I can't even be totaly honest with my family on nearly every subject. I'd only be called weird, stupid, etc. I'm trying to reach higher then this material world of theirs but they don't seem to understand.

I'm afraid that after I have what I want, education, job, etc, I'll just cut off all bonds with my family. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? As to why can't they understand? Maybe its me?

I'm a Taurus born in 1986.

Basically, I have no direction in my life. I want to know what my potentials are. What am I capable of, and where do I belong? What kind of impact am I going to have?

These are vague, but all I want to know is what kind of impressions (positive or negative, i.e. don't hide anything) you get of who I am, what I'm doing, and what I'm going to do.

Thank you.

09. . . . ., your reading. I did a Celtic Cross tarot stpread, as follows.
1. Present situation--9 of cups reversed--"self-indulgent behavior (drugs?), deprivation, or temporary illness"
2. major negative influences--5 of Pentacles--"loss, loneliness, poor health, spirituaL impoverishment"
3. Goal--The Fool--"one seeking fulfillment; freedom"
4. Far past basis-- page of cups reversed -- "deception, unpleasant surprise5. Recent events-- Temperance--"meditation; patience; m,oderate lifestyle"
6. Near future--Queen of Pentacles--"a warm sensuous woman; intelligence, no fear of hard work"
7. Self --your place in this --The Hanged Man--"suspense; inner search for truth; change in your point of view"
8. Your present feelings or doubts -- five of Wands -- "failure; defeat; winning by unfair means; cowardice"
9. Current fears -- 3 of Pentacles reversed-- "sloppiness in workmanship; mediocrity"
120. Final outcome-- 9 of Pentacles -- "accomplishment, material comfort, solitary achievements, security."

In short--it's been a rough row to hoe, but everything will work out great for you n the end.

Okay, you're next--some of you others should re-read the OP.

My age is 21 My Sun Sign is Libra, Rising is Ares, and Moon is Capricorn


okay...well ill tell you here then. something traumatic happened to me about 5 years ago and while it was happening i tried to bury a part of me spiritually i guess cuz i thought he had killed me inside and the past few years i have started to believe it worked. i am very detached from my self and the world. hard to make connections. feel numb most of the time with random bursts of very intense emotion. Feels like no time has gone by since then.and a few people have even said to me that i have changed..my presense just changed. one said he just cant feel me there anymore. its stopping me from having a life. im just frozen.My life is slipping away from me and im getting desperate. what do you think? Theres alot of other things i could ask about too that could be playing into this but it gets really complicated and private for a post like this.

angryonion, your reading. The oracle was very clear on the need to change--"move in a new direction," "try something new," " break from the pack," among other specifics.

Specific advice was to "communicate your needs to others", "consult appropriate counselors" and eventually "take pride in accomplishment."

Seems fairly obvious it would be in your best interests to stop drinking. You are about the same age I was when I first entered d&a rehab, and started going to AA. The cult-like atmosphere , and old-timey metaphysics (not to mention the Christian orientation)were huge turn-offs, however, and I was in and out for years. (Right now, it has been a bit over five years since I quit using alcohol and tobacco.) I could go on and on in this direction, but it probably wont be much else you can't hear from anyone else with a few years of recovery behind them.

One thing--if you do desire to quit and want to make it as easy as possible, get a copy of End Your Addiction Now--I followed the advice therein and had minimal withdrawal symptoms and zero cravings--not even for the tobacco.

Please keep in touch.

There is not necessarily anything wrong with anyone here. Okay, maybe there is some karmic stuff going on, but the bottom line is, there is nothing wrong, or even unusual with feeling alienated from your family.

I was, my wife was, my step-son is alienated from his birth father and so forth.

Trust yourself , and forgive yourself for being where you are. Perhops in time, you will effect a reconciliation, perhaps not.

This above all--to thine own self be true.

09. . . . ., your reading

...Thank you, Arms; a bit off topic, but mind if I ask a suggestion on resources about Tarot? I've had a deck gathering dust, but I could never figure it out.

Thanks for the reading Arms.
I just ordered the book you suggested.
I will let you know how it works out.

2/1/1991 Aquarius Im currently not speaking to my bestfriend because of a huge fight we had this weekend. I honestly want to forgive for what shes done, but shes not making it easy. Shes always been too insecure to put herself out there for someone else. Our attempt at a relationship a month or so ago failed because of it. Sometimes I feel like Im making too big of a deal about it, but yet I feel so betrayed by what she did I dont know whether it would be worth the pain to try. Any advice?

No need for an oracle for this. First of all, stop judging your friend. Second, forgive her because it is in your own best interest to do so. Third, stop seeing yourself as a victim. Forth, forgive yourself for being where you are.

In the large picture, there are no victims, no villains. What happens to us happens because we--at some level, maybe even preconscious--chose it to be so, or made decisions that resulted in what happened.

The sooner you take responsbility for your life, and everything that happens in it, the better off you will be.

All the above, of course, is way easier said than done. But it IS doable.

hmm what about mine? did i do it wrong again? lol

I suppose... I just don't want to send the message that I'll always forgive her for whatever she does, but then if I don't now, then I'll never know if she would.....
Meh... I'll just give it some time I guess, and see how I feel/what happens.

Thanks

I am a Libra, born in 1990. I don't know what my personality is. I know it sounds stupid, but I don't know the type of person I want to be. And it's been like this for years.

One week I'll act extra Christian and extra nice... But then it's like I don't fit in with my flatmates. The next week I'll act mean... But then it's like I don't fit in with my Christian friends. So the next week I'll act just indifferent. I kind of fit in with both, but I hate it. I hate myself. I have no good personality. I just... want to be liked. I know I sound so screwed up, but I just need a direction in life on who to be. Everyone says to "be yourself" but who the hell is "myself"? I don't even know!

Please help me. :(

I have a name for your condition. It's called being normal. Seriously. When you are young, you will try on various roles and see which fits, which works for you. A couple of suggestions--please remember, you are not your personality. This always changes over time. Nor are you what you do, what you think, or what you feel. Again, all these will change.

We all play various roles, and there is nothing wrong this that. This weekend at a Christmas bazaar, I played the role of knife merchant. Talking to my wife, I play the role of husband. When I buy her groceries, I play the role of bread-winner. Right now, I am playing the role of advisor. These are all various facets of the "real" me--me, you, all of us--we are infinite, capable of anything. Note, though, that roles are not the same as masks. Roles are real personas, masks are assumed personas.

The "real" you, your essentail self is infinite, eternal, unmoved and unmoving. One way to contact this reality is through meditation; there are others.

You might try this--imagine yourself as the greatest, grandest, "best" person you can be, and try to act, speak and think accordingly. If that gets too onerous or complicated, just treat other people the way you would like to be treated, and always tell the truth.

??:confused:

Thanks! That really helped. Thanks for taking your time out to do this for everyone. :D

yeah its cool you are taking your time and energy to do this, your helping alot of ppl and im not trying to be bitchy about this or push you or anything but for whatever reason it looks like your not gonna answer me.but you havnt said that or given me any reasons why not so could you at least tell me your not gonna do it so i dont keep checking?

??:confused:

I am limited to one hour of comp time a day--for which I drive twenty miles. I have two forums to mod in addition to doing readings,plus a xanga site to maintain. I haven't had time to check my email in over a week.

In the "real" world, I work for my landlord several hours a day in lieu of paying a 100% rent increase. I worked a holiday bazaar last weekend, and this weekend, I will drive to Eagle River( a 100-mile+ round trip) to work a gun show. Being elderly and disabled, it takes me a couple of days to recuperate from the exertion of doing shows--setting up tables, carrying hundreds of pounds of knives in and out, and being on my feet all day.

I will do your reading next, and hope to have it posted tomorrow. Please accept my apology.

meltingsoup, your reading--finally. I asked the oracle for info and insight that you need to know or be reminded of--this is what I got. Right now, relationships are key in your life. This is like a good news, bad news joke, in a way. The good news is that someone close to you will help you in ways you need but right now, may not even know you need--the bad news is that someone else close to you( a friend or family member) is not acting in your best interest.

Not that he or she is plotting or actively out to harm you--merely that they may have a negative influence on you to the point that it will affect your physical or emotional health. You probably suspect this already, and will be reforming your opinion on a fundamental issue--this will require a lot of serious thought and fact-finding.

Hmmm Thankyou for your reading. Theres a few people who could be either one of the things you said that have popped into my mind. I will definitley do alot of thinking about it. Just one other thing...Do you think its possible I could have lost my soul?

Could you get me next.I'd really appreciate it.

hey arms, me and this guy just recently started dating again and i couldnt be happier but i just cant help to feel like if i dont do something i will just end up losing him and i dont want that to happen, i feel so connected to him and yet so distant to and it makes me cry sometimes, i just need some guidance on why i feel like this and what i could do to make things work.

-thanks in advance-

No oracle needed here, as you have pretty much answered your own questions. First, it is obvious that you are outer-directed--that is, your happiness is contigent upon your relationship. There is nothing wrong with that, but any time you rely on ANYTHING outside yourself in orer to be happy, you are addicted to it. Addiction is not a desireable state to be in for many reasons.

However, society, the media, the politicians and so on tell us to be outer-directed--buy this thing, vote for this person, use this deodorant, drive this car yadda yadda yadda--and you will be happy. This never works in the long run. If your desire is to be happy, simply choose to be happy, be happy with yourslef simply because you love yourself--this is knonw as being inner-directed.

The other thing is, you are not living in the present. A Huna Principle states "Now is the moment of power," and now is all we really have to work with. Rather than enjoying what you have now, you are projecting your mind into an imaginary future of loss--and also dwelling on your past unhappiness. Thing is, when you stand with one foot in the past and one foot in the future, you tend to piss all over the present.

Also, please try to remember that one of the immutable laws of the universe is that we attract what we fear and push away what we want. And do please realize that you do not "have" him now, nor will you "have" anyone. People are not possessions.

We all have free will--we are not owned by anyone or anything.

Maybe a little much to ask so soon again. However my last request wasn't really an reading isseu I think.

I feel like something is missing in my daily life. I have about everything I can desire, good food, car, good job, good education, girls, nice stuff, etc. But there is something I miss, like a big void in me. I feel it in my stomach almost all day long. Like I need to do something or get something to satisfy that feeling but I can't figure out what.

I was hoping an appropiate oracle might have insights.

kev19x, your reading. The oracle strongly suggets that you now have, or will soon, a strong conflict between head and heart--that is. between so-called rationality and intuition. This would be especially strong if you are a Libra or Gemini.

Pay more attention to your gut feelings, your instinct.

If you are dealing with a specific issue, breakthrough energy will manifest itself, and a solution will arise that feels so natural and "right" that it seems like fate.

Also, partnerships are important. If someone comes to you with a proposal (assuming it isn't something patently stupid, like nude skateboarding or armed robbery)--go for it.

Thank you and the oracle for my reading.
God Bless us all.

Arms, I just have a quick, but important, question. I was unable to find satisfaction in my religious upbringing, and as such have ignored my spiritual development for a long time. Lately I've been feeling a strong need to begin my journey again, and I believe finding this forum again is a part of it, but I'm unsure where to begin. I'm hoping the oracle may be able to help.

I appreciate what you're doing in this thread for everyone, Arms, whether you are able to answer me or not.

No oracle needed here. Jesus would say you are going about it backwards--as in when he said "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven--all else will be given unto thee." (Now heaven isn't really place, but a state of mind, let's get that clear right away.) That is, look to develop spiritually, and the material things will come. (This seems counter-intuitive, but I have seen this happen countless times in my own life.)

You have mostly gone for the material things first. There is nothing wrong with that--that is what institutions--schools, government, media--tell you to do. However, that is not conducive to true happiness or self-esteem. The most important thing you need to do is learn--rather, decide--Who you are. Aldous Huxley said this on the subject:

"It is because we don't know Who we are, because we are unaware that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, that we behave in the generally silly, the often insane, the sometimes criminal ways that are so characteristically human. We are saved, we are liberated and enlightened, by perceiving that hitherto unperceived good that is already within us, by returning to our eternal Ground and remaining where, without knowing it, we have always been."

All the material things you mention--the job, the car, the girls, the food, the "nice stuff" are of no importance to your soul--that is why your soul has been crying out to you for more. Those things ARE important to your ego--that part of you wihich is time-bound, limited, needy, fearful. For they are all outside of yourself--your Essential Self, yourt soul. And all can be taken from you by forces outside of yourself.

What you have not mentioned are the important things--serenity, peace of mind, gratitude. These things, once gained, reside within yourself and cannot be taken away by time nor man nor any circumstance. They are important to your Essential Self, that part of you which is eternal, unlimited, complete, powerful, and free.

At a deep level, you know this already. It sometimes helps all of us to be reminded, for the ways of the ego, the illusions of separation are powerful, pervasive, and seductive.

Thanks ArmsMerchant!

Don't know how I can apply this in practice though. I'm already way more concerned with my inner self then is thought comfortable by those directly around me. I guess family really are dead waist after all if they don't understand. They're all very materialistic, like a short while ago I ordered a sword, a katana, to practice shinkendo. A very spiritual art to perform where a serene mind is essential. All my family can see is a weapon, aggression and strange culture.

I guess the people around me are the things tying me down in this world.

"Practice"? It isn't so much about doing, as it is about being, but meditation helps. There are many different methods, but what you do isn't nearly as important as doing whatever with discipline, attention, and regularity.

Spirituality is 99% repetition.

hmm

Yes, I am currently standing at the threshold of a major decision which will have drastic effects on long-term outcomes. Input would be helpful.

Don't really care to go into detail, but since you're a psychic I doubt you need that.

Eh, and if you need it, Libra of 1990.

Can I get a reading please? Please? :D

The oracle says to go ahead--the outcome will be in your ultimate best interests--which does NOT necessarily mean it will bring you happiness, wealth or any material satisfaction.

The oracle tends to greatly weigh spiritual growth.

Can I get a reading please? Please? :D

Yep, but not real soon, isnce 1) the libraries are closed tomorrow and 2) I have my most strenuous show of the year coming up this Saturday and getting ready for it takes precedence over everything else.

Stay tuned.

Hello, I would appreciate some advice about a decision I have to make on whether I should get an operation for a skin condition I have. Don't worry about it from a medical point of view as it is "stable" but I think it has changed the way I view things and in a way it could help in spiritual growth.

I am a scorpio 21/11/1988. Thank you.

Stay tuned.

Will do, and I will try :)

hey arms thanks for the help with my question, would it be possible for me to get a reading regarding my life and what i should focus on, lately ive been having such overwhelming feelings, i dont know what they mean but i feel like there is something more out there and im just so confused on what to do about anything

This would make sense. It might involve my postponing college for a couple years, and living in very hard conditions.

Thanks. :cool:

Moonius, your reading. The oracle says to put any specific concerns or problems you have in the context of power--is someone trying to manipulate you? Or are you trying to control that which you have no righteous control over? Remember, we all create our own realities, but there IS such a thing as concensual reality--a collective hunch, as Lily Tomplin puts it.

This is a good time for you ;your intuition is strong, so trust your feelings--but remember, not everyone is intuitive, so be sure to be clear with others in terms of making known what you need. This is a good time to meditatie and focus on details--you may need to beware of being mentally derailed by a strong attraction or repulsion.

Finally, the oracle advises you to look to see what others need--although this is your time, it can help you (since at the Highest Level, we are All One) to fulfill the needs of others.

Okay, I'll ask the oracle what you need to know, or be reminded of, regarding this situation. I hope to get the reading done over the weekend, post it Monday or Tuesday, weather/health/whatever permitting. (I missed one day online this week due to a sbnowstorm--I use klibrary comps.)

Context helps ;) I've been trying to manipulate myself.

As for the second, well.... I guess I will have to get better at doing whatever it is that I do :confused:

Gith, your reading. First a personal note--interesting situation. I gather your hypothetical surgery is optional, possibly cosmetic. My own advice would be to live with it, learn from it, and transcend it.

The oracle says that your anxiety level about this is (or was) clouding your thinking, but go ahead with what makes you happy. But be clear on long-term values and goals versus immediate gratification.

Hi ArmsMerchant,

To keep this short as possible (I hope it helps): there are two women in some of my classes. I can't explain it, but they and I seem to be drawn to each other, yet some energy between us pushes us apart (This part I can't explain). Maybe some past life something?

Should I be focusing on these women? Are they there to help me in any spiritual way? Should I just stay on my path of studying instead?
I ask this since it has been on my mind the whole semester, and they are in the same program as I am, which means this will be continuing for some time...

NE, you are next.

I am doing a show this weekend, prepping tomorrow, and working for my landlord this afternoon, so I won't be posting your reading until next week, Monday or Tuesday, weather and health permitting.

Okay, here's the deal. Yes, you have karmic conenctions with both these women (I didn't try to find out what or how intimate--there are several different types of karmic soulmates), and yes, you stand to grow spiritually by pursuing a relationship in this lifetime--but NOT right now. Verily is it written, for every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. Right now, you are best served by focussing on your studies--your life is complicated enough as it is at the moment.

Stay vigilant, though, and when the time is right to make some sort of move, you will know it.

Thank you very much for the reading ArmsMerchant.

I feel my relationship will definitely be for sure *later* on in life after I've finished all my degrees and stuff, I can't explain-- but you've confirmed it.

If I may ask for clarification, when the time is right for a move, are you talking strictly relationship based?
Thanks so much for your time once again, it feels like some knots have been un-knotted...

Also if I may ask... how does Karmic partners work? With the way we feel towards each other we can't even get NEAR each other... let alone talk/look in the eye. Its like repulsion. Of course, whatever I set for myself is what I set-- so I hope it continues on the path.

I don't have the time to go into this in depth, but there are at least four different types of karmic soulmates. Dick Sutphen is one of the best authorities on this--I'd google "karma" and "Dick Sutphen", see what you get.

Just wondering if you missed mine, Arms. ;-)

Arms, I just have a quick, but important, question. I was unable to find satisfaction in my religious upbringing, and as such have ignored my spiritual development for a long time. Lately I've been feeling a strong need to begin my journey again, and I believe finding this forum again is a part of it, but I'm unsure where to begin. I'm hoping the oracle may be able to help.

I appreciate what you're doing in this thread for everyone, Arms, whether you are able to answer me or not.

Azroth316, thanks for the reminder. FYI, back in the day, I'd do a separate thread for each reading--this eliminated overlooking people but used a lot of bandwidth, so the then mod--Rust, Demonica or Nemesis, I think--suggested I consolidate them. I started "the unofficial psychic readings thread," which became "the official psychic readings thread" after I was modded. Back to your question.

Best thing I can suggest is to just dabble and lurk, so to speak, until you come upon something which resonates with you. If you prefer the most modern stuff and have library access, check out the new acquisitions in the metaphysics shelf. (That is one thing I do.) If you prefer the classics, by all means, get a copy of The Perennial Philospohy by Aldous Huxley.

Check the recommended readings thread, paying particular attention to what is recommended by members you have come to know and trust. There is really no cut and dried, quick and easy solution to your dilemma.

However, know this. Your spiritual evolution is not only essential, it is inevitable. We are all on the road to sainthood, though we walk many different paths. No path is "better" than any other, although some ARE less onerous than others.

Arms, I like this girl a lot, and I think she might be the one. What do you see about us?


(this is serious btw)

Arms, I like this girl a lot, and I think she might be the one. What do you see about us?

In my view, there is no such thing as "the one".

I will, however, ask the oracle if this relationship is in your best interests, and see what I get--probably won't post the reading until Monday, however.

Edit- There might not be such a thing as "the one". But I could see myself spending the rest of my life with her. I dont really like looking that far ahead tho, but thats how I feel.

Hi ArmsMerchant,

Thanks for the help on the Headshrinkers board, btw.


I'm 17 and still in high school. For a couple of months I've been stuck on how to live my life. One of the problems I have is that I have "friends" but I don't have real friends. My social skills aren't too good and I seem to assume that most people have insecurity issues as they're too afraid to tell me what they're truly interested in and try to follow the crowd.

I'm fighting myself whether or not to force to fit in, but I want both. I want the friends if I conform but I'm against it because I find no depth in those people.

I appreciate in advanced, thank you.

edit, sorry

Thanks.

This morning I checked with the oracle and got answers that were vague and indefinite. This may be due to some astrological stuff I am unaware of, or just because my system is still awash with fatigue toxins from a strenuous (but lucrative!) weekend.

I'll try again, get back to you later. Meanhile, check out the following--it may help. It was created by my sweety, one of the most highly evolved beings on the planet.

Hey Wade. My name is also Wade. Wade Hunter to be exact.

I am a Leo, born August 2nd, 1987.


What path would be of most service to humankind? Also, I feel like I should stay away from romantic relationships for a time, is this a good idea?


Thanks, peace.

I appreciate in advanced, thank you.

First of all, IMHO, having friends is over-rated. Most of the time, most folks see "friends" as people who put up with each other's bullshit for no apparent reason. I have no friends in Alaska--closest would be my wife, and we live fifty miles apart. Sure, I have acquaintences, and clients, and fans, and enemies and professional colleagues--but the closest thing I have to real friends are other members of totse. Anyway, back to your question.

Just asking it does you credit. I think it might be rephrased in the old way--what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his own soul? Or, to put it another way, how much should one compromise oneself to get friends (or acceptence or popularity, whatever). Only you can decide this--no one can give you any easy answers on this one, but I may be able to share some experience, insights, to help you make your own decision.

I assume that by conforming, you mean saying or doing things which are not "you", which are more or less inconsistent with the values that are "you." To a degree, most pople do this--wage earners kiss up to bosses they despise, self-employed folks like me can't afford to antagonize obnoxious clients, and so on.

So where do you draw the line? If asked by "friends" to go along with something patently dangerous or illegal--going on a mass shoplifting or vandalism spree, or consuming massive quantities of toxic chemicals, for instance, would probably be worht risking some popularity to avoid.

You might remember that reputation is allied with having friends, conforming and so on--but no one has just one reputation. You will have a different rep with everyone who knows you, because we all tend to see things and people not as they are, but as we are. People who are way out there may see you as super-straight, and those who are really uptight may see you as way out there, and so on. In the long run, none of that matters. Other people's opinion of you is none of your business--you have no control over it and it matters not, in any real or lasting way.

Like the song says--you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

I hope this helps.

Thanks ArmsMerchant, the last sentence of the 5th paragraph especially hit me and opened up new concepts to consider. I haven't made a complete decision of what I should do, but I'll have a better time weighing out which works best for me now.

Wade,

I was born Dec 13 1981 at 6:46 in the morning.

My question is I am worried (have been for sometime now) about certain legal matters which may set me back for some time. what are the odds of it clearing up positive for me.... or am I just a child of fate being bit by karma for past actions now having to atone through false accusation? Sorry to be vague... if you need more info pm me.

I know this isn't a dream interpretation thread but it's not about that. It's about a being, not so much my issues in my mind, which also pertain as everything is interconnected but this being is a very profound force that I cannot forget.

My dream:

It was a nice dream. I've been thinking of her for the past few days. I loved her so much. It comes about twice a year, I haven't seen her for almost a year. It's so strange, she is on my mind more than 90% of the other things in my life. This is only for a few people and things in my life; them taking up a large chunk of the meaning, I think it's spiritual because of this, a feeling, w/ no material meaning.

The dream is of me and her talking, at my families house, we are at a picnic table, family party or something, outside and it is daytime and we are discussing the philosophical ways of making our children understanding of everybody and ways to keep them from being superficial even if they aren't raised around the common people. We were both in love and happy and it was sunny, and it felt good even though it hurt to wake up and be away from her again. I appreciate the dream and hope she is doing good because really I am just happy that she exists.

I don't know the meaning, I don't know if there is one, and I don't fully believe in jung and freud interpretations. It is weird though, a few years ago I had a dream w/ her and her father in it and a few months after that I saw her father for the first time ever and he looked and felt exactly as he did in the dream. There was no way for me to subconsciously know him, I never forget the metaphysics that all wise men/women speak of, and this is what I feel it taps into.

And i'm curious how does one rebuild their psychic energy, because I feel i've tapped mine out, and it's empty for a bit and I feel the deflation but I still have shit I want to do. Does one just sit and wait for it to reaccumulate or can I rebuild it, though anything unnatural usually results in badness somewhere else. I don't know, I think I know; chill for a bit and change gears.

The only thing I can tell you for sure is that the energy you tap into is infinite. You can not "run out" of it. You only feel this way because you tell yourself you're running out of it, when in reality, there is no end to this energy, ever.

Let yourself bask in the infinity.

^Yeah, what he said. But remember--"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

Hey Wade. My name is also Wade.


What path would be of most service to humankind? Also, I feel like I should stay away from romantic relationships for a time, is this a good idea?


Thanks, peace.

Please, just call me Greyfox. I adopted wade as a first name for when I have to fill out forms and such that require a first name--it is an old family surname. Back to topic.

As a spiritual advisor, my concern is with your soul--and your soul is not about doing, it is about being. So my answer is this--be kind. Be loving. Be grateful. Most of all, be forgiving. (And most of all here, learn to forgive YOURSELF--over and over again. Forgive yourself for being where you are, and forgive yourself for all those things you say and do which you come to regret.)

Many people before me have said, if you want to change the world, change yourself. There are at least two very good reasons for this. One, we are all connected in some way. At the Highest Level, we are All One. Thsi is the deepest and most profound metaphysical truth of all, and the most difficult to grasp intellectually. Grok it in fullness and you will have attained the seventh, and greatest, level of consciousness.

Two, according to the Vedfas --"You are not in the world. The world is in you." The universe is infinite, and you reflect this infinity in a kind of holographic way. You cvontain within you infinite possibilities, and the only limitations you will ever face are your own doubts abnd fears. I say this will all the earnestness at my command.


As far as your second issue is concenred--assuming you mean making a conscious effort to avoid relationships--the oracle says "very doubtful." Thing is, what you resist, persists. One of the pesky laws of the universe is that we tend to push away what we want, and we attract what we fear. So my advice would be, don't go out of your way to get into a romance, but don't go out of your way to avoid one.

laptoptype, I don't attempt to interpret other people's dreams. I think Jung was correct when he wrote (in "Man and His Symbols," probably the most accessible of all his books), that dreams contain very personal symbols, but that everything in the dream ultimately comes back upon the dreamer. It is up to you to determine the symbology and how it all relates back to you.

Wade,

I was born Dec 13 1981 at 6:46 in the morning.

My question is I am worried (have been for sometime now) about certain legal matters which may set me back for some time. what are the odds of it clearing up positive for me.... or am I just a child of fate being bit by karma for past actions now having to atone through false accusation? Sorry to be vague... if you need more info pm me.

I don't do legal questions per se, but I can tell you that in my experience, the universe is benign. Whatever happens has the weight of infinity behind it, and is ultimately in your best interests--worst case scenario --a valuable, if painful, lesson.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Hey Greyfox.

Don't really know exactly what to say, I'd just like a general reading on a big aspect of my life.

To put it simply, I've lived a very sheltered life, and as a result developed a rather severe case of agoraphobia and social anxiety.
Two years ago, I met and fell in love with the girl who I truly believe to be my one true life partner. And I know she feels exactly the same way.

But the thing that is getting in my way is my fear of, what I call "the real world". (As apposed to the safe comfort of my house)

I've avoided so many opportunities to develop our relationship further, because I'm scared.

I feel very unsafe and insecure. I feel as if somebody is just waiting for me to show my face so they can attack, maybe even kill me.

I don't want to die so young before getting the chance to live an actual life.

I just would like to know:

Firstly, is it inevitable that my condition will ruin my chances of a serious relationship with the woman I love? Will something ever become of our relationship? Or is it doomed?

Two, will I ever get the chance to recover from my condition, as start living a "real social life"

And three, am I worrying too much and letting myself become afraid of something that is no real threat to me?

Just details:

My name is Jacob. I was born on July 16th 1992. I'm a cancer.
The girl I'm in love with is a Pices. Born on the 3rd March.

If there's anything else you would like to know, let me know.

Thank you very much for your time.

needmoney, no need for oracles here. First, you are learning a valuable lesson--namely, fear is your worst enemy. It is in fact, your only enemy. Note that you do not fear what is happening RIGHT NOW--and right now is all you, or anyone else, has. Strive to live in the moment--resolve to refuse to borrow trouble by worrying about what may or may not happen, and you will go a long ways towards trandcending your fear.

Also, efuse to feel like a victim. We all create our own realities--everything that happens to you is a result of choiuces, decisions you made, and what is happening right now is essential for your spiritual growth. If it is uncomfortable, so be it.

One final word--here is one of the secrets of the universe. Seriously. We attract what we fear, and we push away what we want. Thsi may seem unfair, but that it just the way it is in our local universe. Many people never learn this. If you want more details, let me know, but please be patient--my comp time is severely limited at best (I use library comps, and the holidays will further diminish my computer access), and I am in the midst of 12 straight work days, something that has never before in my life happened.

Thank you. I would have liked an actual reading, but your advise is good enough.

Much appreciated.

I'm in a confused place, I know something is changing about me, and that I'm somehow controlling this change but can also be changed by forces outside my awareness (not control). I've been doing a lot of reading lately and am confused what to do with the 'power' of the information, the problem is it doesn't relate to anything I learn in school and looking at the world 'outside of myself' the best I can, it's really frustrating to participate in things like the traditional school system, class culture games etc., its like 'I'm' forced to participate but 'I'm' completely detatched from all of that because I've grown to see how self-destructive /rigidly goal oriented most of the things people around me do. (Maybe I didnt 'grow' but rather 'lost' something?).

I don't see myself gaining anything from school but I know I can get the grades to get the paper I need for a job, the thing is I doubt I'll ever be happy playing that game...but I think I may feel that way because I'm stubborn and haven't really tried to fluidly work with what I have?

Another thing is I know dream interpretations have some sort of meaning, I was in a half-awake half asleep state but immediatly fell in and out of a very deep dream state for a short period of time. In this dream I recieved a text message that said 'Mysticism' (which I only know a little about, but know it plays a role in the other things I have been reading)...I would look into that because I do believe it has an effect on reality but I also believe if used improperly, maybe unwittingly improperly, it could mess something up, and I don't want to get excited, eagerly jump into somethingt hen wind up regretting it, actually that seems to be a repeating trend of events in my life.

Thanks.

Hello Arms! How strange was it to see Wasilla Barbie in the election huh?

I am at a crossroads right now. I have forgiven myself for where I am, but now I have an oppurtunity to move out of state, and I'm wondering if it would bode well to go. I would be leaving Wisconsin behind, and a lot of people too, espiecally someone I really care about.

Do the positives outweigh the negatives here? I'm roaring to get out of here, even if it means having to pay back student loans for the time being. Anything you could relate to me on this?

hey arms i could really use some guidance with my realtionship.
me and my boyfriend have known each other since we were 8 yrs old and i have always felt drawn to him. we dated in jr high and in highschool but it never really worked yet we would still always go back to each other, we recently decided to try it again and in the beggining it was perfect and magical and now it seems like all the fire is already gone. he is the only person i can ever see myself with and i love him completely, i just dont know what to do to bring that magic back, or why it went away in the first place. am i the one destroying my own chance of happiness?
i just need some help on where this relationship is going and how to make it work.



much much thanks in advance for any help

aybo, first, I suggest you read this:

Holiday work and library closings have me way behind. . . . .

aybo, I hope you read the link I gave you, re-read the FAQ here, and reformulate your question, as it is inappropriate as written.

BTW, my recent absence was due to a combination of bad weather and car trouble (although I hitchiked about forty miles yesterday to get to a library comp), but I am back on track now.

well i guess now there is no need for any questions or answers. we ended our relationship again, or should i say he ended it. the reason given was that he said i always start acting differently when we start dating and he likes the person i am when we are just friends. im now facing this crushing deppression,he is literally all i think about day and night he is all i dream about, to me he is absolute perfection in every way, i feel like he is my soulmate and now i fear that i lost all chances of ever being with him again and showing him how perfect we could be together. i know i should let go and move on but i cant, ive never felt so strongly about anyone and now i really dont know what to do about anything in my life.
