FIRE – Elements – Green Wisdom Cards

October 29th, 2008 | Category: Elements,Green Wisdom Cards

“Creation requires fire”

The power of creation is in your fiery nature. Fire in the mind lights the spark of imagination from which all is born. Fire in the heart of passion turns you on and gives you the fuel to start and sustain.  Fire in the belly supplies the body with a power source for manifestations.  Feed it with energy foods and exercise it to warm it up and keep the engine stoked.

Fire in the spirit illuminates the way.  Success demands the driving spirit of fire, the soul of an eternally renewing light, a catalytic flame that burns bright and hot with mission and vision.

Burn out obstacles that obstruct clarity and light speed.  Purify and clean out the adulterations of belief, contaminants of fear, cloggings of arteries, and comforts of mass mediocrity.  Renounce and release.  Blow up constriction and contraction.  Exfoliate.  Expunge.  Extract.  Expand.  Ex it out.  Burn.

Fired up…
power your purpose
with searing heat of explosion
and expression overdue.
Spontaneous combustion
Now.

Firebrand inciter of revolution
within yourself and in the world,
burn the barricades
churn the boiling pots
catalyze
the cauldron of creation.
See red.

Break out and burst forth.
Get it out, out, out!
Bring on the ma-gma
Mother of ma-tter
Into ma-terialization
Ask the volcano goddess Pele how.

————————————————————–

What kindles your imagination?
What turns you on?
What gets you hot?
What gives you energy?
What do you want to see clearly?
What do you need to burn out and purify in your life?
What changes need to be made?

WHITE – Elements – Green Wisdom Cards

October 20th, 2008 | Category: Elements,Green Wisdom Cards

“Nature is full of nothing”

You are more space than any thing. In that open space, anything may happen and creation results. Relish the empty and the void, for here and there is the growing grounds for new life. Don’t try to always fill up your life. Let there be pause. Allow for an open mind and an open heart. Then you are free, nothing fixed and determined. Spontaneity, the act of pure creativity, happens in freedom.

We are so blinded by the light. We cannot see the light for the light. Though we come from the light, we tend to see the dark and dense and follow only the known. Trust the invisible which is responsible for all our electro, quantum teleconnections

White out the closed perception and the white light will bring expansive renewal, original purity and pure originality, ultimate possibilities and infinite opportunities. Clear the decks. Go back to the beginning. With no beliefs, no preconceptions – a white slate tabula rasa – nothing conditioned and nothing predetermined enables totally originality.

How open are you?
How free are you?
What is your creation?
What possibilities and opportunities have you closed to?
What new is coming into your life?
In what way are you in between?

————————————————–

No thing
is the pregnant void
your empty wilderness
of the great unconscious
no limitation
Infinite.

Between every breath
Between every pulse
Between every thing
Between every moment
is white
Rest, Peace, Clarity

Mothered by openness
Fathered by zero
Beyond words, vision, sensing
Less is more
Formless is inclusive
Nothing is everything
OM.

SHADOW – Human – Green Wisdom Cards

October 14th, 2008 | Category: Elements,Green Wisdom Cards

“With the sun comes a shadow”

Find your “place in the sun.” Then, you are in your power. The shadow from your sunny self shows your imprint on the world. Be aware of your impact. With power comes responsibility to be more aware, as you can cast a shadow on another for better or for worse. You have the capacity to bring shade to those in need of rest and renewal. Or you can put others in the dark. Or you can disempower as you place someone in your own shadow.

Wherever we go, we bring light or dark. It’s a choice. Ask yourself, what darkness do you bring to others. Is there a shadow side of your nature that you are unaware of, or a shadowy nature in you that seeks to dominate or control?

Look at your shadow side. Observe more consciously what you do not know about yourself that is in the dark. Check out the shady qualities that you don’t like in yourself and examine what dims your light. Look at what you are afraid to show and expose.

It’s time to come out of the shadows and shine your light. Come out, come out whoever you are. To know and be aware of your shadow is to know yourself. In this self-understanding, all is well and the future will shine. Then, you are all of you, a sun wherever you go and whoever you touch.


Be vigilant to the other side of you
the side ignored
the side denied.

Look into the dark
and the light of awareness
will clarify.

Your shadow is your reflection
to know yourself is to know
this mirror of you.

Seek to live in the light
in perfect alignment
of the sun above
and the sun within.

To be a sun
know the moon
the power of reflection

See what shadow
and whose shadow
you live in.
Is it your shadow?
or another’s?

In your self-reflections
you become light
dispersing the shadowy
and shady.

It’s easy to have it made in the shade
but only in the heat of the spotlight
can you grow.

Seek the bright light
in the center
and become the sun star
that you are
Wake up! Power up! Enlighten up!

—————————————————–

Are you in your power?
What part of you is still in the dark?
What do you need to look at in yourself?
Are there shady sides of your nature that you seek to enlighten?
What is your impact on the world?
Are you in the shadow of others?

RIVER – Elements – Green Wisdom Cards

September 26th, 2008 | Category: Elements,Green Wisdom Cards

“Life is a journey”

You are on a journey called the river of life – always moving somewhere. Know where you are going, where you came from, and most importantly, where you are in the present.

Like a flowing river, get into your flow. Your intuition will take you there. Flowing does not mean it’s always physically and emotionally effortless, though in the spiritual dimension it does mean to move easily in consciousness through life. To go with the flow is to accept and surrender to the present with equanimity and grace.

Life is about navigating the river you are on and some rivers are rough, winding, rocky, shifting, narrowing. You are responsible for the river you have chosen. Captain, be aware, alert, awake to the changing course of your flow.

Yet, you’re on the big river called life regardless of your personal choices. So, at the same time of being in control, let go, float along and be.

What kind of river are you? Some are broad and lazy and great for commerce. Are you in this mainstream? Or are you a tributary, a creek in the forest, a steep, daring mountain rapids, a lowland delta, a giant rolling Colorado? Once you’ve found your flow, you can be the flower – all that you are meant to be.

How to be your river and find you flow? Do that which transports you. Move with what moves you. Don’t fight with your mind that you should do this or that. Do what your soul sings and your heart impulses.

When you are your river, you are the welcoming water source for others. All civilizations and all people need water on this water planet of ours. The water you bring is your service to the world. Insure that your river of gifts is transported with safe landing for others to access and benefit.


Gently down the stream
Easy does it -
that which gives you energy.

Sometimes slip in the stream of others
but always seek your own channel.

Soon you will empty out in the great ocean
of collective emotion
Express your life’s desires
on your way.

From the mountain top you began
What was your highest point
that points the way
to return again?

No pollution of the river that you are
No contaminants of negative thinking
No trashing of yourself.

Conserve your underground river
the immense acquifer for reserving
the waters of your source and soul

Let it rain.

————————————————–

Are you in your flow?
What kind of river are you?
What navigations and adaptation are you on the alert for?
Where’s your river going?
Are you able to accept your course of life?
Do you guard and protect your life waters?
Can others benefit by the river that you are?

FOOTPRINTS – Elements – Green Wisdom Cards

September 20th, 2008 | Category: Elements,Green Wisdom Cards

“Nature always shows a way”

Earth reveals itself, where it’s been, what it is, where’s it’s going, and how it does it, as evidenced in the footprints on the sands of time. All about you are the signs of what’s going on and how you can be a part of that ongoing journey.

In the record, whether fossil, bones and stones, and footsteps, you re-cord. You will find continuity and integrity amidst the shifting and elusive.

Keep walking with the time-tested way and you will find your destination. Don’t get mired down and lost in the changing sands here today and gone tomorrow.

Your time on this earth will end. You will die. And for what did you live? Know that you leave a legacy. Through your progeny, your path, your products, your personality, you leave your mark. You are a pathfinder and trailmaker by the way you live.

Watch your steps for they will lead. You are responsible for the succeeding generations. Make tracks, take steps that last and guide. Pay attention to your footprint, for it may leave to the wrong way. Remember, life is an imprint that stays forever.

Do you know where you are going?
What signs are you following?
What legacy and path have you left?
What are you exploring about life and yourself?

—————————————–

Looking back
You see ahead.

In review
You preview.

Know your history and herstory
And make the future sustainable.

In the rock of ages
- a telltale -
of substratum and substance
Clue to the archaic
and arcane
of the why, how, what, when and why
of us.

Explore, quest, seek
and uncover, discover,
and recover.

Death is desiccated
So, don’t dry up.
Stay fluid
Live wet.

OASIS – Elements – Green Wisdom Cards

September 08th, 2008 | Category: Elements,Green Wisdom Cards

“Nothing on earth can live without water”

Like the camel which transports, feeds and shelters, you carry and support life. In the roughest of barren times, you are reliable and resourceful, taking others over the hump while digging deep into your own reservoirs.

Dependent upon the life-replenishing waters of the earth, drink from the well so that you are a well spring for the common good. Nourish yourself to sustain others. Nobody can do it alone. Interdependent we sustain. Otherwise, you die, I die, we die.

Deep within you are pockets of natural wealth. Offer that which refreshes and revives you. Be of service, be the oasis, be the camel, be the spring, be the water, and be served.

Water is everything, without it, no life, nothing. Water is sustenance. Water is precious. Conserve! Take no more than you need. Reduce your consumption.

Yes, tap your own water table, but don’t abuse your own aquifer.

For the well-being of the herd and community, no hoarding. Open the source and make trails and access for the fair share and fair trade of those in need. Protect the rights of all to live. Be grateful, be sparing, and be generous.

Quench your thirst
Dowse and trek
Search and sense
Take the long journey
That may be dry and barren.

Bathe away the toils of yesterday
Refill, renew, refresh for today.

Be the oasis
A destination person and spa
Place of rejuvenation
Revered and rewarded.

To the fountain of life within
And without
We drink!

———————————————

What sustains you and gives you new life?
What do you thirst for?
How do you share that?
What do you conserve?
What inner resources do you tap?

ENERGY – Elements – Green Wisdom Cards

August 27th, 2008 | Category: Elements,Green Wisdom Cards

“Everything in nature is fuel for life”

You are fueled with physical energy and inner chi, and you need more, again and again to move and sustain. From food to coal to oil to solar, you must consume to resume. With the life force of chi – angel of energy – you possess the infinitely renewable source. Driven by your heart’s desire and spirited inspiration, you are put into motion and kept in motion by emotion.

Recharge and renewal is your challenge and opportunity in today’s demanding world to go and keep going. To return and repeat without breakdown and burnout requires that you become an energizer – an energy specialist. Don’t deplete and pollute. Eat less and better. Drink clean and natural. Breathe strong and long. Go outside into the light. Become light. Keep your mind positive. Act on your intuition. Move your body. Follow passion. Have a spiritual practice. Release toxic relationships. Do work that is play. Know how to rest. Maintain balance. Stay open and diversified. Keep changing. Find your place on the planet.
What gives you energy?
What depletes you?
What fuels your body?
What turns on your heart, mind and spirit?
How do you expend energy?
How do you conserve energy?

————————————————–

Black gold -
your inner guts
of heart and soul -
gives you the gas
to go the distance
for the long run.

Turned on
by the rising heat
of your inner fire,
expend, expand, express.
In the exiting,
you create a new opening.

Fire up!
Ignite the charge.
It only takes a spark.

GREEN TRAIL – Elements – Green Wisdom Cards

August 21st, 2008 | Category: Elements,Green Wisdom Cards

“Green will keep you renewed”

Green is the color of life on this planet. Sprouts are green. New leaves are green. Spring is green. To be fully alive, not half alive, follow the green trail. When you have a decision to make about which way to go in life, do what makes you feel green – fresh, motivated, creative, energized, excited, alive!

Follow the green way. Ask yourself, does this choice give me energy? Is it something that is renewing for me and will keep me renewed again and again?

When you live green, you are renewable. You don’t deplete and you don’t pollute yourself and your environment. You will live healthy and whole, and then be happy, wealthy and holy – sustainable.

On the green path, you have the life force on your side. You have the primal and primordial energy to succeed at anything. Don’t think and analyze so much. Simply, follow the green feeling in you. Feel it, and with that impulse, do it!

The originating, prime mover of life that may be called spirit or god or mystery, which is embodied in every detail of earth, has all the answers you need to know and follow. Mother nature and her green ways is the living proof of living in this wisdom. Look to earth for guidance. What to know how to be healthy, succeed in business, in relationships and live a long life of love, peace and prosperity? Look to nature and be natural. Get into nature.


Are you fully alive?
Do you do what gives you energy and zest for life?
Are you able to renew yourself?
How do you deplete and pollute yourself?
Are you green with your environment?
Are you spontaneous?
Can you feel the green way?
Do you look to nature for guidance?
Do you go into nature?

—————————————————-


Who are you?
the sign of green
is everywhere around you.

Look outside and see what you are
Look outside and see why you are
Look outside and see how to be.

You are the tree, branch out
You are the mountain, stand up
You are the lake, go deep
You are the rainbow, make magic!

Created of this earth
it’s nature is yours
to be
to steward.

Live green
Sustain yourself.

Green yourself
Repeat without deplete.

Green it
Not Grey it.

Get into nature
Green light
Go forth.

TUNDRA – Elements – Green Wisdom Cards

August 12th, 2008 | Category: Elements,Green Wisdom Cards

“There are places and times that strengthen survival skills”

There are places that we don’t want to be – too cold, too hot -uncomfortable, immoderate, extreme. Learn to survive those occasions of fire and ice. No pain, no gain. Survivor skills give you sustain abilities.

Other times, stoke the fires, heat up life, or chill out and freeze out. Know how to manage your on and off buttons without destruction and devastation. Doses of the extreme catalyze, change and create.

There are moments when we feel alone, perhaps even deserted. It’s a test of your resilience – time to go within yourself to tap the wealth of inner resources, just as tundras and deserts hold within minerals like oil and uranium. You have to be optimistic for you are energy rich. Be resourceful. Go deep, it’s there.

We all go through periods of feeling barren and dry. It’s ok, just don’t make it a habit. In this void of inspiration, joy and creation, do nothing. In this empty quarter, let the old patterns in your own sand of time die. Know that because of this death valley there are fertile gardens which exist dependant upon this natural dearth. New and abundant life awaits, so don’t lose hope. And walk to life.

“Inhospitable” regions are there for a reason. Take care of these. Without them, you don’t have what you have, you cannot be who you are, and you won’t grow into your destiny.


How do you handle the extremes of life?
Can you turn on your hot passion for life and your chilly isolation?
What are your inner resources to sustain and survive difficulties?
How resilient are you?
How do you die to your old identities and patterns?
Do you value these inconvenient and challenging spaces?
What are you doing to prevent global warming?

——————————————————

In this time of testing
Persevere.

This is only a phase
Only a period
Only a place.

Get stronger inside
Bringing out determination
Visions that are not mirages and hallucinations.
Relish
this hermit’s refuge
to rest and restore.

But there is urgency
in these short growing seasons
of killing extremity.
Accept but don’t linger
Receive but don’t regress.

In this cauldron
of hot and cold
your destiny is forged.
a rite of passage is presented
such a gift.

Honor these inner and outer ecologies
Respect their value
because polluting life
with only things and artifice
so that it’s always just right
and shiny and comfortable
will destroy this earth soil
and your life soul.

Poisonous warming brings
Carbon dioxide
Death.

Nothing cowardly
