UNIVERSAL ORACLE CARDS

Universal Oracle Number 13, Flow.

Universal Oracle Number 12, Listen.

LISTEN; Can you hear the birds? Can you hear the waves of the ocean? Can you hear the far off cries of the crow or the mountains and trees? Can you hear the whispers of the earth mother and the whispers of your soul?  When you listen deeply you hear all of creation, everything that is, was and will be.  To trully listen you will hear the truth, the truth of the planet and the truth of your soul.  You will hear source and you will know where your balance is.  To listen deeply, is to become the ears of the universe and listen to the unbiased and unconditional guidance that we receive continuously on our earth journey.  How can you hear the wondrous universe when you never stop to acknowledge where you are, what you are or who you are? How can you be centred and guided without stopping and tuning into the frequency that guides you? Like a radio station you must choose to tune into the frequency to hear it.  Everything that exists has a story to tell.  Everything at one time existed in the imagination of the creator.  The Indigenous Australians have the Dreamtime and share the stories with their young children, the stories connect the children with the source and the frequency they need to be attuned to.  The stories are told and therefore the children learn to listen.  

It is time to listen once more, the universe is calling to you today to hear its call.  Its calling you to become attuned with the frequency of creation and listen.  To listen to all that ever was, is and will be.  Silence, solitude and quiet is needed at this time.

Universal Oracle Number 11, Dream-weaving.

DREAM-WEAVING;  The art of creating our selves has been lost through millennia of systems, control and disconnection from source and self.  Everything that exists at some time was a seed of the imagination.  The imagination sets us apart from other creatures on this planet, it allows us to manifest and create from our dreams.  If all we ever experience on this planet is pain and suffering it becomes easier to believe in this reality than the power of our imagination and dreams, thus we manifest more of the same suffering.  To trully grow and evolve we must start to believe in our power to create and our power to manifest our dreams.  Our core beliefs are formed in the first 7 years of our existence on this planet. Everything that follows, is a ripple effect or manifestation from these core beliefs, from the confirmations that follow every experience, which reconfirm the last.  People are stuck in holding patterns that become so stagnant that we stop growing and become the victims of a set reality.  Eventually so worn in are these patterns they are "set in stone".  To stop the patterns repeating themselves, in the form of habits, family patterns, genetics, dis-ease etc.. is to become conscious of our core beliefs and challenge them.  We have to believe in ourselves, we have to have faith in ourselves, we have to understand our ability to create and where it starts; the imagination.  The seed is sown and we have to nurture it, we have to give energy to it everyday, we have to tend to our creation and understand that it is at its most vulnerable in the early stages and thus grows stronger and more real, the more effort, and energy we put into it.  Like a spiral or vortex that speeds up and gathers momentum.  

Dream-weaving is an art form and I urge you to start to practice this art a little everyday.  To open up your mind to daydreaming, to allow the exploration of crazy and wild ideas and allow yourself the time to tend to these tiny seeds of colour without judgment and cynicism.  Become the creator of your universe.

Universal Oracle, Number 10 - Reconnect

RECONNECT;  Reconnection is a choice. The choice to reconnect can be challenging for some.  After years of pain, suffering, guilt and accumulated negativity one can feel like giving up.  We can feel like we are a lost cause, that we don't deserve, that we should settle for our reality despite its negativity and challenges.  Sometimes it can all just get too much and for some the thoughts consider ending it.  To choose life on this planet is to choose all the experiences, perceived positive and negative by our human minds, yet in the consciousness of the universe, somehow necessary for growth.  Not everything that exists can be beautiful, perfect and divine all the time.  The energy here on this planet can be challenging in this way.  The choice to reconnect is to choose to accept that there is beauty in both the dark and the light.  It is to choose to see the universe from a  peaceful place, watching and understanding our place in perfect chaos.  To reconnect is to forgive ourselves, to forgive others, to live in the present and to know our place.  From this space of connection can we grow, evolve and change our reality by changing the way we perceive and choose.   Its important to understand everything has a role to play, everything has been created by us, for us.  

Take action and know that every time you choose to be present, in a self loving state you are connecting to source and making a difference.  Even a small difference will ripple out in great ways, like a stone thrown into a pond.  The stone may not get to see the result of its ripples however the edge of the pond will.

Universal Oracle, Number 9, Vision.

VISION: Is not only to see, but to see clearly.  To have vision is to have clarification, to be able to perceive and know without a doubt.  To be clear sighted about the way forward.  To be visionary.

A visionary can see the "whole" picture, free of doubt and with absolute clarity. A visionary knows exactly where they are headed and knows that as long as they stay focused, they will get to their destination.  However a visionary does not always know the exact route and way to the destination that, they leave to guidance.  They allow themselves to stay in tune, connected to source to be guided, they know without a doubt as long as they stay focused on the "vision" that they will be gently guided toward that vision in divine timing.  A visionary accepts that along the way they may have to go through dark forests, slay dragons and at times become disorientated.  A visionary knows that all the events that occur along the way are necessary, as to arrive at the destination without the tools he gathers along the way, is to arrive too early and ill prepared, thus the vision may dissipate and not last, like a mirage in the desert.  A visionary has patience and accepts the journey as an opportunity to grow and learn.  If vision has come into your space today, then you are being asked to become more focused on your vision. You are being asked to dedicate some meditation time to your vision, like creating a vision board.  You are being asked to accept the journey that comes with your vision and to have faith and trust in spirits guidance that you will receive all the necessary tools along the way to create your vision in its "wholeness". Patience and a delight in the process will help you on your journey to your vision. 

Universal Oracle Number 8, "Disconnected"

DISCONNECTED: To separate from source, or self is to disconnect.  When we are in balance we are connected to both source and self.  Disconnection comes when we resist the feeling, when we avoid the situation, when we don't want to see the reality. It is common in times of trauma, stress, dis-ease and other trials of human life that we can disconnect.  The important thing is that we are aware of this and reconnect as soon as we become aware of the disconnection.  The more we consciously connect, the more we are guided and hear the guidance we are given.  If Disconnection has come into your space today, it is time to stop and connect with source, try meditation, yoga, exercise, take a walk in the forest, or along the beach, play with the dog, write a journal..... Spend some time getting back to yourself, remembering who you are, where you come from and know that you are guided and that you are part of the whole.  Join a class, play with your creative inner child and become one again with source and self. 

Universal Oracle Number 7, "Evolve".

7.

EVOLVE:  To evolve is to grow, is to integrate, to expand and sometimes contract.  To evolve is to move with and flex with, to move through and beyond.  To evolve all aspects of self within a lifetime is a huge task, whether done consciously or not,  evolution happens.  Evolution or change is indefinite and constant. Everything and everyone is in a constant state of flexing, bending, growing, expanding, contracting and moving.  Nothing is stationary.  To be stationary is to be devoid of life.  

How we choose to evolve is up to us and how we perceive our journey on earth. The universe works in harmony with us, what we think, we become.  Everything that we encounter we create, subconsciously and consciously by our actions and reactions.  Sometimes we expand and sometimes we contract, like a muscle does when we work out. How we grow is dependent on how much effort or consciousness we choose to have whilst taking action. Think for a moment about a plant, how it grows and how it is dependent on its environment and the interaction it may have with other plants, animals or humans......  No two plants are the same.  Each one slightly different, different shapes, the amount of leaves or branches vary and the height and location too.

If you have found "evolve" in your hand today then the universe is asking you to become more conscious as you evolve and grow on this life journey.  The universe is asking you to reflect on everything and everyone around you and see how they and you, are all a product of their own creation, the ripple effect and therefore; karma ... 

The universe is asking you to step into your power and become a conscious evolutionary being that is aware of its actions and how the smallest action impacts not only its growth but the growth and evolution of the whole planet and beyond.  We are powerful indeed.

Universal Oracle Number 6, "Protection"

6. 

PROTECTION- To protect those closest and dearest to us, is human nature. To protect those that are most vulnerable and dependant is also an instinctual thing. 

The reason we protect is because we fear..... We fear pain, suffering and therefore we fear death. Every living organism it seems has a form of protection, from the bee's sting to the poison of the Blue ring octopus and even some plants have poison.

Its interesting that on this planet we feel so strongly about the need for protection, I feel that it has something to do with being in this dimension, it is so ingrained in us, that it is hard to not want to protect the people, causes and things we feel most passionate about.  We are surrounded by fearful situations everyday in the media and so on.

What we need to remember about protection is not to overuse it, to make sure there is a nice balance, so that we can be free to create and explore, without fear paralysing us.  Sometimes when we overprotect we can stifle or suppress.  Sometimes when we don't protect enough we lose our energy and the things we hold dearest.  

The universe responds to the energy we project! This is a basic law of the universe, what we put out we get back.  So send out loving protection, and ask the universe to protect all that you hold dear, ask the universe to support and guide you, relax a little and let the universe carry your worries and fears. 

If Protection has visited you today, it is time to let go a little, send out a call to the universal consciousness to walk with you, beside you and guide you.  Ask it to protect you in your journey and understand that your connection to the divine means that your journey here is necessary, do not fear anymore and embrace life.  Use this symbol to surround yourself with protection, this symbol is connected to universal consciousness and it is infinite and extends out beyond our egos, to protect us at the highest vibration with the intent that your experiences here are all divinely purposeful.  

Universal Oracle Number 5, "Empathy".

5. 

EMPATHY- Compassion: To empathise with something or someone is to have compassion and understanding.  It is to almost perceive or feel the energy of the person or thing in which you tune into. An Empathic intuitive person is known as clairsentient, they can empathically feel what another person or being is experiencing. It is a choice.  The fact is we can all be clairsentient if we practice. The energy of empathy is very different to sympathy. Empathy is a positive energy that allows for expansion, learning and love. Sympathy is negative and contracting and it enables the negative energy to remain. 

When we empathise with someone we are allowing them the right to experience their journey with support through the darkness, we are walking beside them, not doing the work for them, and certainly not denying them or protecting them from the experience.  Everyone and everything on the planet is responsible for growth and in turn the growth and evolution off the entire universe.  When we empathise with others, animals, plants and the earth we are becoming more in tune with the needs and energies that are all around us; we begin to be more conscious about our actions.  We expand, we evolve and we allow others to evolve through their experiences also.  We are not in judgement.  We are acknowledging the challenges and not judging them.  Through empathy we can heal ourselves and others, by sharing the understanding of a common journey we all face. 

If Empathy has found you today, please take the time to FEEL; empathy can only be felt.  Feel and allow yourself to understand and empathise with anyone that you come into connection with today.  Without judgement feel, empathy and send this energy outward. 

Universal Oracle Number 4, "Truth" 

4.

TRUTH; What is it to know the truth? Whether we chase the truth consciously or sub-consciously, secretly we all want to know the truth of it. There are sayings "the truth hurts"  "the truth will set you free" Both of these sayings seem like contradictions.  However they are not. To be set free and to be free of the burden of pretending, or lying or playing charades can only be done with the truth.  The truth can hurt initially, however it is through this pain we have the chance to grow and learn the lessons we were sent here to learn.  The truth of it is necessary, it is the only real thing that exists. Anything else is a lie. ;)

The truth can be ugly, however it can also be extremely beautiful.  The truth is the part of your heart that feels. It is a resonation, a knowing that everything is aligned in that moment.  When you hear it, you feel it, truth is FELT! 

So many of us in our efforts to avoid pain and hurt, hide from the truth, protect others from the truth, do our utmost to blanket the truth not only in our own personal lives but in our societies. Through the media we are censored and the truth is hidden.  Governments hide the truth, globally we hide the truth. In this way we can trick ourselves into believing that we can keep it all nice and lovely, we are in control, we can protect our children from the reality of all the ugly things in the world, in this way we can avoid pain and hurt........... WRONG!  Just look around you, does it work to hide all the truth? Are we better off for the curtain, the illusion of our protected lives, which are based on FEAR of the truth. To know the truth is real kindness, real authenticity, real love without judgement. Another saying "you got to be cruel to be kind."

"The truth will always come out." IT DOES.... whether we want it to or are ready for it. 

This card is asking you to step into your truth today, its asking you to see through the illusions in this world and start to make a difference.  You can do this in your own small way, by simply adopting a truth mantra.  "Everyday I live authentically in alignment with my heart and universal love.  IN this place I am truth, I feel truth and I embrace the truth, so I may have choice and real power to make a difference."

Truth=real authentic power, real choices. THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.

Universal Oracle Number 3 "Procrastination"

3.

PROCRASTINATION; Is complete paralysis.  In the moment of indecisiveness we move out of our hearts.  We are in the mind, in the midst of irrationality and fears.  In this space we are disconnected from the universe and in this space we believe that we will be punished if we make the wrong decision.  This thinking is linked way back, relating to the cave man days of flight or fight, life and death. In addition to this throughout medieval times and the times of Emporers, Pharoahs and religious power we have lived in a world of duality.  Heaven and Hell, Good and Evil.  These outdated beliefs have stayed inbedded in our DNA and still affect us in varying degrees. Most of our systems today still operate from these old beliefs.

The truth is the universe does not judge so therefore it does not differentiate between Good or Evil, it does not differentiate between wrong or right.  It is devoid of judgment! The universe works with what it is given or intended. The ripple effect and karma are one and the same. If we intend and take action from the heart and in total alignment with unconditional love, devoid of judgement, then the universe has no choice but to respond on that vibration. What we give out we get back.  If we give out doubt, uncertainty, fear and control then the universe will respond in that vibration. The pain and suffering we experience both on a personal and global level is just the mirror of how often we operate from our minds (control) instead of our hearts.  

If you have stumbled upon this card today, its time to practice feeling your heart space.  If your stuck in indecision. Try on your decision like a pair of jeans....if it feels comfortable and it FEELS RIGHT, then it is. If you try on another decision and it FEELS RIGHT, then it probably is..... Whichever you choose will be RIGHT! Whatever is learnt along the way will be worth it. Set your intent for the best possible outcome and let the universe in and let your spirit soar. 

 Universal Oracle Number 2 "Faith"

2.

Faith; A person without faith in something, is a person without a soul. Robot like and completely unconsciousness. The Egoic mind is in full control and we are disconnected from the universe and everything in it. Faith at least in yourself keeps you connected to your soul and encourages you at least to take responsibility for creating your life. 

Throughout history man has been led to have faith in Gods, godesses, religions, mythical creatures, fairy folk, rituals and the sacred. To have faith meant believing that something more intelligent and bigger than yourself was at work; the mysterious. We were not worthy of knowing about the mysterious and could only access it through a third party, such as a priest, shaman or place.  

Faith keeps the Ego in check.  In the past having faith in your King, Queen, your leader or religion meant giving your power away to something greater than yourself.  At this time people accepted that and possibly enjoyed being able to give that responsibility to another source greater than themselves.  Today we have evolved to understand that we create every moment that exists through our intent and actions, so to does the universe.  Everything is connected.  

If Faith is speaking to you today it is asking you to have faith in both yourself and the universe.  Faith in the relationship YOU CREATE with yourself and the universe.  It is helping you to understand that it is this relationship that supersedes all others and that to work directly with this energy.  We no longer need to put our faith in something else. Put your faith in you and the universe and watch your world change.

Universal Oracle Number 1 "Hope"

1.
Hope; without it we have nothing, no dreams, no desires, no longing, nowhere to go.  In all essence perhaps hope is a man made concept or perhaps it was brought from the universe in answer to the prayers of many, perhaps born in a time where people experienced such despair and suffering that there was no other choice than to find hope.  Is this a part of what modern society has lost? Hope? 

Depression; is this, just the feeling of lost hope? I believe it is. Hope is the light, it is the 11th hour angel who swoops into show you the way through. It is the moment you see a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope is there when a baby is born, it is there when all else fails, it is the $5 note you find when your bank account is empty.  Is hope therefore God? Is hope Spirit?, is hope Source?, is it Creation?.....HOPE is devoid of destruction. HOPE is LIGHT!  

Invite Hope into your life today, knowing that you invited Spirit, God or Creation into your field and that the warmth  and unconditional love it brings will light your way. By asking creation to step into our darkness, it is the first step towards change and moving into the light.
