Being IMPECCABLE with Your Word is A Choice

Received by Julie Miller

November 12, 2013

Your mere word may appear to be simple but in truth the words you choose to express hold great power.

Your word holds the power to create and this power to create is a gift given to each of you from God in order to communicate, to be heard - it is through your ability to communicate that you are able to manifest what it is you wish for most.

When you speak, the words you choose demonstrates your creative power.

It makes little difference what your mother tongue is, your intent spoken through your word provides insight to how you are feeling, what it is you are wishing and what will manifest at the result of you expressing your words.

Understand dear ones, the words you utter are not just etches you put on paper or sounds you make when speaking, your words are a force within your power of speech - a power that provides you with the capability to communicate, to think and to create certain situations to come into your life that will provide you with the growth and development needed for your life journey.

The power of speech, to talk is a remarkable gift, one that deserves appreciation and respect and to be used wisely.

Of all the tools you have at your fingertips, your word is the most powerful - it is the magic of your manifestations that helps to create a beautiful life, but it also can be the main culprit that brings in pain and discord.

One misuse of a single word can create so much havoc - you know this as truth as you have experienced this yourself during conversations with other dear souls.

One misunderstood word can create so much grief. Whereas when you choose your words wisely and become impeccable with their delivery you have the power and ability to attract love, beauty and peace of mind.

Quite simply, it is a matter of how to use your words, choosing the right words at the right time. Words can either set you free or create deeper stagnation.

Yet each of you possesses the ability to become more aware of what is going through your thoughts that is largely based on your feelings and choosing what it is you wish to express that will bring about a successful outcome in all situations.

Making the power of your word work for you for the greater good is a choice only you can make, and it is one that we encourage you to consciously try.

From all the interactions and experiences you have had with others, you know by now how powerful words are; they can destroy a person's confidence with a single word, or the right words can raise a person's confidence.

Words have had the power to destroy the lives of thousands of people across the world when used to spread fear and harm.

Yet words can also be used to bring peace, healing, love and respect.

The mind that holds your emotions and feelings is what is needed to recognized as the place to begin making changes that affect the words you choose to express yourself. Understand dear ones; your mind is like rich, productive soil.

You can plant seeds of fear, peace, discord, love, compassion, concepts, etc., and it will grow. You have a choice on what is permitted to grow and what is not. Just because you feel fear does not mean you are required to act on this.

You have the power and ability to understand why you fear and to give yourself the love and compassion you need to turn that fear into peaceful understanding. Nurture yourself dear ones, be compassionate and understanding and allow the power of your words free you. They are your ticket to what you want to achieve most on this journey. The power within the words you speak not only attracts the changes you wish to see develop; it is within the power that provides you with the ability to make those changes happen.

When you fully realize the power of the words that come through your mouth, you will come understand the necessity of being more aware and demonstrating wisdom within the words you choose to speak.

You learn which words to choose that are helpful, uplifting, encouraging; words that demonstrate understanding and compassion. Your words are the expressions of your thoughts in action.

The more aware of them you become the clearer you are able to communicate.

Comprehend dear ones, what you express and declare through your words have the ability of making a huge impact on the development of your journey and where your path is taking you to. Learn to instruct yourself to make positive use of your words by changing your thoughts to be more of a positive nature.

When faced in any kind of situation, remember to observe your thoughts and choose your words carefully. Positive changes will manifest when you are able to change your thoughts and the words that come from your thoughts.

Regardless where you journey is taking you to or the experiences you will have, remember to tell yourself, "You are wise, you are love and that God is with you, supporting you through the situation you have found yourself in.

As you speak positive affirmations, these help to re-create more positive thoughts that will reflect in the words you choose to express.

Watch how people you communicate with react when you express yourself with positive and intelligent words, instead of words that carry negativity or uncertainty.

We know not everyone thinks positive at every single moment of their lives, that there are situations that will give cause to uncertainty.

These are personal growth moments; they are sacred and important. Yet even as you move through them, you are still able to present yourself as being in the Present and demonstrate yourself as being positive within moments of uncertainty just by the choice of your words.

People will understand if you are going through a hard time, but don't make the hard time be the excuse for not choosing words that express love for another, or understanding of what is happening. Your words are the extension, the expression of your thoughts and even as you persevere through a challenging situation, they can be the means to a peaceful end.

By now, you understand in order to change your life you must change your thoughts and this dear ones also includes the words you choose to speak or to write. The power they hold is incredible and they are your responsibility.

They can help you achieve a much more prosperous life when working together in harmony or a life filled with discord.

Deliberately make use of your thoughts in a positive manner and believe with conscious effort from you that is filled with unconditional love, your words will become impeccable. Let the power of your words liberate you and enrich the quality of your life - it is always up to you dear ones - you choose.

And so it is...

Pdr Divining Myself

The PDR spread I am using today comes from The Tarot Bible by Sarah Bartlett. I don't love card by card meanings books, but I do enjoy the spreads and extra information in this one! I am using my Deviant Moon.

The spread looks like this : (2 crosses 1)

3.......................8

1....2......5.........7

4.......................6

1. I am this now - Two of Cups. This card is deliciously creepy! I often associate this card with The Lovers. The couple toasts each other, although I feel she is somewhat reluctant in the gesture. Today, the card feels a bit menacing. He has her up against the wall, and it looks friendly, but she has her hand placed protectively in front of her womb. He surrounds her completely, and blood drips on the floor, though there are no obvious wounds on either of them.

I am being a bit reluctant about love right now, fearful of the hurt that can go along with it. That emotion is causing me to be difficult.

2. This is what bugs me - The Devil. This Devil is one of my favorite! He is so sneaky, so creepy! I can just imagine he is tippy-toeing through some unsuspecting's house! The ways I have bound myself to "less than the best", even outright harmful behaviors, bugs me. Worst of all, there really is no devil I can blame it on, because most of my problems I create for myself with bad habits, procrastination being chief among them, and bad attitudes.

3. What I like about myself - Six of Wands. However, I always seem to land on my feet, victorious. I usually manage to accomplish whatever I set my mind to, and I feel very proud of that.

4. What I don't like about myself - Ten of Swords. Sometimes, I get absolutely certain that doom is upon me, and I kind of just give up and give in, and don't do anything about the situation. When that happens, I wallow way longer in the misery of the situation than I probably should, letting it best me. I need to embrace less of the victim mentality that goes along with this card so often and more of the "completion" thought. The Anna K tarot displays it very well, with the image of the man walking away from his place of defeat. That single image was the reason I HAD to have that deck.

5. My talent - Queen of Swords. I am a sharp, analytical thinker, with a way with words. Those things have served me well, in school, and as a writer. I am honest, and I cut straight to the point.

6. My temptation - Knight of Cups. I am often tempted to lose myself in love, in romance. Sometimes I am more in love with the thought of being in love than I am willing to work on the tough issues that go along with a relationship. I am often tempted to use my words to manipulate the situation, any situation, to one that suits me better. I often think I am being sincere in a moment, but often, upon serious reflection, I realize that I was swept up in that moment.

7. My personal quest - Justice. This is no surprise to me. I have a keen sense of right and wrong, and I hate feeling like I am on the losing end of that stick. I feel very strongly that my childrens' father did wrong by all of us, and we are embroiled in court proceedings that are supposed to be righting that wrong, as much as it is possible. I also feel very strongly that the world is right when everything is in balance, and I spend so much time as a mother trying to teach my kids about personal responsibility and logical consequences of ones' actions, good and bad.

8. My current guardian angel - Ace of Swords. My current guardian angel is in fact represented by an angel today! I see the Ace of Swords as cutting through illusions to the heart of a matter, so my current guardian angel must be clarity.

The shadow card, at the base of the deck, for this reading is the Lovers, mirroring my first position card, the Two of Cups. This couple seems to be equally into each other, more on common ground. They are so wrapped up in the moment of their embrace that they do not even notice that the man is being bit by a viper! I have been so wrapped up in my relationship, and the impending move, that I have not been paying close attention to much else. I have, in some ways, put my life on hold, waiting for the real one to start. But this is my real life, too, what is happening right here, right now.

I like keeping a blog so that I can have snapshots in time of where I was, back when. I keep good journals, but I like the pictures that go along with blogging, and I like the insights I have been giving by sharing pieces of my journey. So thank you all for that!

These images are from the Deviant Moon tarot by Patrick Valenza and the Anna K.

The Tomb Of King Tutankhamun

It carries no 62 in the Valley of the Kings (KV 62). It is a small tomb it is cut down into the bedrock of the valley, probably been made initially for the high priest Ay. The ENTRANCE STAIRWAY consists of 16 steps going down to the CORRIDOR and this corridor leads to the ANTECHAMBER and the antechamber leads to the ANNEXE at the northern end while the eastern side leads to the BURIAL CHAMBER, which leads in its turn to the TREASURY on the eastern side. THE BURIAL CHAMBER is the only decorated room in the tomb.Everything found there was crammed over each other, every space was used that is because of the king's sudden death, which caused the people to put everything in very rapidly even the daily life equipments were put in together with the funerary equipment. Also there was no time to decorate the whole tomb. Only the burial chamber was decorated because the dead king would need all the spells depicted on the walls closer to his body for his protection in the afterlife. The walls were painted very quickly and the tomb was rapidly closed. That's why when the burial chamber was opened, the walls were covered with fungus because the paints didn't have time to fully dry, and this maybe one of the reasons that caused people's death after the discovery; not as was said because of the curse of the pharaohs. "Death will come on swift wings for those who will disturb the king" but these words were just a spell, or not?!Some events triggered the famous so-called "CURSE OF THE PHARAHS" related to the opening of the tomb of Tutankhamun:o Carter's canary was eaten by a cobra on the day of discoveryo Death of Lord Carnarvon as a result of a mosquito bite, after slashing his cheek while shaving and the wound became infected.o However, many others who visited the tomb or helped to discover it lived long and healthy lives. A study showed that of the 58 people who were present when the tomb and sarcophagus were opened, only EIGHT died within a dozen years. All the others were still alive, including HOWARD CARTER, who later died of lymphoma at the age of 64 in 1939 TUTANKHAMUN'S BURIAL:Around the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun there are 4 shrines one inside the other in order to protect the mummy. After the outermost shrine everything remained completely intact so they didn't reach the precious jewellery, which were placed directly on the mummy as a kind of protection as jewellery was used as amulets for protection. Tutankhamun coffins in Cairo museum Tutankhamun's mummy was originally put in one sarcophagus and three coffins. It used to be kept in the outermost quartzite sarcophagus in the burial chamber of his tomb. Recent news confirmed that the mummy was moved from inside the sarcophagus to a nearby glass showcase with very accurate temperature controls to make sure that the mummy stays in perfect condition after signs of decay have been observed by Egyptologists.The 4 funerary containers are: 1- Quartzite sarcophagus, still in situ at the tomb.2- 1st gilded wooden anthropoid coffin3- 2nd gilded wooden anthropoid coffin wood inlayed with semi-precious stones and covered with thick gold leaf.4- The innermost anthropoid coffin which is made of pure gold (110 Kg of solid gold) Finally there was the golden mask covering the face of the mummified king with a total weight of 11 kg of pure solid gold.
