Hello,
I'm Candy Foster.
I'm a channel and an intuitive,
And I pull a card for the collective each day.
Each month I use a different deck,
And this month we'll be using the Rumi Oracle by Alana Fairchild.
This deck is a little more poetic than most,
And may need more than one listen.
Fellow listeners have informed me that putting it on repeat is very helpful with its integration.
I think that might suit well this month.
Today's card is number 22,
The Lion and the Deer.
This is the second time we've pulled this card this month.
When you enter the garden of the heart,
You become fragrant like the rose.
When you fly toward heaven,
You become graceful like the angel.
If you get burned like oil,
You become brilliant.
When you become thin like hair in yearning,
Your joy leads the way.
You'll be the kingdom and the king.
You'll be paradise and the guardian angel.
You'll be infinity and you'll be faith.
You'll be the lion and you'll be the deer.
Rumi.
Let us embark on this studious adventure together.
Let us honor the tiger and the lamb within each other,
The lion and the deer.
I can witness in you both the raging warrior who fights with unbreakable honor and the healer who brings together those things torn apart.
Of course,
For are we not all things?
Are we not human and angel,
Animal and spirit?
Are we not heaven and earth?
Are we not divine?
And in being divine,
Being all things,
All things are divine.
So we are here together in the school of love,
Not for the soul who still adheres to performance instead of curiosity,
Not for the soul who craves comfort instead of devotion to divine adventure.
We must be like lovers,
You and I,
If we are to take these lessons.
We must be willing to become mad with passion,
Crazy enough to chase the great beloved,
Even if it means forgetting who we are for a time to have the sacred delight of rediscovery.
Breaking some rules and looking like fools.
Well,
What could be greater than becoming a fool for love?
That will do for us.
That will do well.
Let us be fools for love together.
So shall we become study mates?
We'll recognize each other,
Even in all of our various garbs,
Bright or somber,
Wild or gentle.
We'll become the most enthusiastic students in the school of love,
Urging each other on to even greater feats of passion and devotion.
How we shall outdo each other in grand gestures and our unwavering commitment.
This oracle brings you a special message.
You are rediscovering a part of yourself that has been lost and submerged underneath more practical concerns.
Of course,
If practicality is about survival,
Then learning to be your true self is most essential and practical.
All other paths lead to death of the soul.
