….Spiritual reading for October 5, 2023

There is in fact a monarch seated upon a golden throne. You know: the nonsensical image of a king who rules the universe from above? While we may agree that this is an antiquated and torqued image of God, it is true that there is a force which radiates light and power, and which has a place in the physical plane.

This being (of either or no gender) resides in the deepest regions of your being. In your heart, your soul, however you choose to place it. And this being is anthropomorphic or not, according to your wishes.

But please understand that each of you contain this incredibly dynamic and powerful being, and that to deny its existence is to diminish yourself and the Divine.

You strive to know yourself and to become a master. This is a task of many, many lifetimes. And in this pursuit there is much you encounter that can be moved, altered, transformed. This being, of which we speak, is not changeable. This is the eternal within you, this is that which is with you, lifetime afer lifetime.

There are occasions when it is easier to believe and there are occasions when it is nearly impossible to give credence to the idea that you contain divinity. But none-the-less, it is always there.

This is the source of all guidance. For each of you and for all of you collectively. The smallest shreds of intuition can be traced to the presence within you of this being. The greatest flashes of insight and transcendent knowing, as well. The rest is either mechanical or built on or around this being.

This is your core, your truth. Each of you honors and realizes this being in different ways. Each of you finds your own path to its lap. And that is as it was meant to be. There is no one image, no one way, no one manifestation. However, it is essential that you do find your way to the lap of this marvelous being and learn to listen to its counsel. There is no substitute for this. There are no books, no teachers, no traditions which can stand in for your own glorious divinity.

Should you choose to follow someone else’s path, you will end by manifesting someone else’s life, someone else’s wisdom and someone else’s light. While this may have been a suitable introduction to spirit in ages gone by, in the world today, each one of you is needed, holding fully your own authentic and unique self.

That can only be known through your own exploration and discovery. It is not something which can be learned by rote or taught by sages. You are the sage, and you must read the book of your own soul.

Please think about this today. Are there any ways in which you sign off on your own wisdom, in which you allow others to speak on your behalf, or more troublesome, to know on your behalf ? It is very important to think, act and feel impeccably.

Each one of you is a monarch seated upon a golden throne. Your planet is unthinkably rich: glorious, all-knowing and powerful beings everywhere you look! It is time to remember who you really are, to seat yourself on that throne, to embody the regality that is yours. Sometimes you dream that you are a pauper or maimed or blind or lost. Just illusion. Just dreams.

Wake up, dear ones, to the truth of your strength and your beauty. Nothing can hold that back if you will just see it and honor it.

We love you and we see you.

….This day had to come because the JQ was not solved

A new Canadian government-funded program is offering $5,000 bonuses to British Columbia construction companies to hire apprentices who identify as anything other than a straight white male.From Western Investor, “B.C. employers get $5,000 more if apprentices ‘self-identify’ “: B.C. construction companies which hire trade apprentices who self-identify as other than a straight, white male with no disability will receive double a new government incentive, pushing it to $10,000 for the first year of employment. The $10 million Apprenticeship Services program, being offered by the B.C. Construction Association (BCCA) and announced September 27, provides cash incentives to small and medium-sized construction employers who hire and register first-year apprentices in up to 39 Red Seal trades. Funding for what the BCCA calls the “most far-reaching construction trade apprenticeship drive ever undertaken in British Columbia” is under the federal government’s Canadian Apprenticeship Strategy, which launched in September 2022. Since then the project has issued financial incentives for the hiring and registering of 1,329 apprentices and sent payments to more than 700 employers. The BCCA will pay employers $5,000 for each first-year apprentice they register in any eligible Red Seal trades. However, if an applicant self-identifies as a woman, person with disabilities, Indigenous, racialized Canadian or from the 2SLGBTQI+ community, the incentive doubles to $10,000. […] So far, 51 per cent of the project apprentices have declared themselves to be a member of one of an “equity deserving group,” according to a BCCA release. This takes “train your replacement” to a whole new level!   Canada’s population surged by more than 1 million in the past year, the largest spike since the post-World War II baby boom ⤵️ https://t.co/vOGBTNzqpA — Al Jazeera English (@AJEnglish) March 23, 2023 As I reported in a similar story a week ago, the CEO of British Telecom giant BT is reportedly firing some 1,000 white employees with the intention of replacing them with non-whites from major cities in order to “boost diversity” and potentially pocket a £220,000 bonus for hitting “diversity targets.” Meanwhile, another report found that in America the S&P 100 gave 94% of 323,094 new jobs to non-whites in year after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protest.
