Spring came yesterday at 11.44. It was a warm hazy day here in Tetford and a soft beginning for the next quarter.
I shall be presenting my first Teacher Level 1 at Dev Aura starting tomorrow. It is a big step and one I am looking forward to. This morning exciting ideas are beginning to flow, a thought on including the students in the course planning and timetabling during the morning of Day 1, inviting them to think like teachers from the very start of the course, not just to give them a certificate at the end of the week. I am very happy; this is the bigger part of me beginning to engage, inspiring me with ideas and possibilities.
I mentioned the time of the solstice, 11.44, because it had the ring of significance when I heard it. Now, as I reflect on my words this morning, the time reminds me of the Tarot card I drew at the start of the year. It was the Emperor, number 4 in the Major Arcana (the path cards). The insight I gained from this card was the importance of the gold under the yellow. Yellow is thinking and knowledge, the activity of the ego, which of course includes lesson preparation too. The gold underneath is however a soul presence, a wisdom that can enter in to any moment. While my mind may make plans there is a deeper part of me that is connected into a flow and can advise the best way to go. The Emperor for this year is encouraging me to trust this deeper part of myself in each moment.
The Equinox moment yesterday: 11.44 – aligned the 4 with the 1. The 1 is the Blue / Deep Magenta, the energy for our word, our intention, our purpose; it is the Magician who creates out of nothing. The 4 is the Yellow / Gold, the Emperor, the one who lives on the earth, but operates at his best when he is aligned with the original intention, the 1, from spirit.
The sun is shining here in Tetford and it is time to get on. I wish you a good day, and a golden Spring.
