From Frank:
My wife and I have a good life. We have always been independent, each with our work and circle of friends. A few years ago she decided to open her own business. While I encouraged her, I have not been an active participant, working instead on my own dreams, but now it looks like the only way to make this successful is for me to work with her. This would require me to leave behind my own dreams for a time. It would not necessarily be a permanent solution, but I’m wondering if there is ever a time when you should put aside your dreams to follow someone else’s?
Inspirations from Binah:
There are times when in order to gain, you must give. In the game of chess, it is common to deliberately sacrifice a piece in the hopes of gaining a tactical advantage or positional compensation. A true sacrifice is made with an open heart, and while there is some pain at the loss, it is quickly assuaged by the love that encompasses the act.
Only you can determine whether now is the right time to sacrifice your dream. Relinquishing your current path in order to provide support for your wife is something that can open you to new directions and perspectives in your own life, but only when it is done free of anger and resentment.
To determine your inner motivation and whether or not this is the right path for you to take, you can use the Tarot. Shuffle your deck as you ask for clarity on whether you should leave your current work in favor of helping your wife manifest her dream. Place the cards in the following configuration:
1
2 3
4 6 5 7
1. Represents your question: “Should you sacrifice your career for a time?”
2. Challenge for Passive Path: What is the real issue or challenge in not helping her
3. Challenge for Active Path: What is the real issue or challenge in making the sacrifice
4. Energy Pushing toward the Passive Path
5. Energy Pushing toward the Active Path
6. Outcome for the Passive Path
7. Outcome for the Active Path
Work through the spread, adding cards as necessary, when you are alone and free from the influence of others. Take the results into meditation, determining which outcome feels best for you and your family. No matter what you choose, remember that if the decision comes from unconditional love, you will continue your personal growth. You may even find that the best way to manifest your own dream is through this new work.

Evil only prospers when good men look away
April 9, 2010From Fraser:
I have lost a friend to darkness. He’s walked into it and been seduced by it. He’s now serving two and a half years. His crimes where against the innocent and most vulnerable in our society. I read about him in my local paper, it was bad. He committed crimes against me too. There’s a comments section, I’ve read it. His victims have said their comments, don’t blame them, I have seen a darkness at work here, but i am reminded that to comment on his case could bring anger directed against me and my family for being associated with him. For myself, i will take the flakk, but for my family. Should i comment? Hence the title
Inspirations from Binah:
The decision on whether or not to comment relies on many factors. First you must determine your motivation for commenting. Is it to show people another side of your friend, one that was lost when he accepted the darkness? If your intentions are pure, and you present your comments understanding that there is great anger by those he hurt, then you should not fear retribution. Be respectful of their feelings and do not blame the darkness, for it was your friend who chose to accept it.
If you need help with your wording, ask the angels to guide you. You can also call upon Archangel Gabriel who provides a link to the communication of Truth, Harmony and Balance. Grab paper and a pen/pencil, sit in a comfortable position with your hand ready to write, go into meditation. Ask Archangel Gabriel to help you formulate the best words for your comment. Remove your personal thoughts and just flow the words onto the paper. Write until you have written all there is to say.
After the words are on the paper, read through them carefully and begin the editing process. Take things from the pure language of the angels into the language of man. Think about this from the position of the reader, carefully crafting the words so that your message contains only the purity and love you possess for your friend and his victims. When you are ready, you can post it or not, the choice is up to you. The energy has been released into the universe for all to benefit from.
