Longing for…something. What is it? What makes the hole inside seem so big and hollow? A cavernous space left behind by old energy systems that now needs filling with…something. Piscean age passes leaving behind desire for sacrifice, which came out backwards as selfish concerns; selfish because with sacrificial thinking, no one wants to be who is sacrificed.

Aquarian age transcends, bringing new energy for something to fill the void left by Pisces. The cavern can only be filled with what Aquarius wants. Anything else will be spat out. Aquarius wants inner freedom (autonomy), innovation (creativity), service to others and self-mastery, the four components of inner peace.

To fill the gaping void with Aquarian energy dynamics, begin with autonomy by carving time into schedule, then use time to create a gift for the world that provides service to others. Self-mastery results.

Strings of energy flow to and fro through a gateway of intention. That which is expected comes to life, while that which is desired repels. Thoughts and feelings blow mighty winds forcing doors open and closed in each moment.

Intention runs energy and dictates pathways. Two or more beings focused on same intention generate exponential power to create. Intend to heal all fears. Intend to house compassion. Intend to be peaceful. Intend to remain focused on such and these will come.

Dear Boston,

Like hunter stalking prey, want from others follows as a dark shadow plaguing its victim. Hunger for energy, praise, absolution, love, apologies, acknowledgement of existence, worthiness…leaves empty belly.

Hunter insists on stalking the same prey over and over and all the while not catching it…hunter dies. Not catching prey does not reflect hunter’s worthiness as a hunter, but rather prey’s worthiness to escape. The meeting of hunter’s needs lies elsewhere. Hunter must travel a different trail.

Essential to physical life, lines hold definition and placement. Lines create shapes that bring order from chaos and labels to reflect reality. Lines, labels and boxes bring sanity. Lines fixed hard into stone are finite and immovable. Lines drawn in water disappear as soon as they are made. Lines sketched soft onto paper are erasable and changeable.

Heart-felt lines, both fixed and flexible, make relating possible. Holding lines hard when heart wants to be soft brings challenge. Hard lines, like levees along the ocean, bring safety and security against mighty forces. Soft lines give flexibility to gentler forces. Knowing when to be hard and when to be soft is one part of self-mastery.

My mother sent me this story that's been going around the email circuit. Perhaps you've seen it. I am posting it here because soooo many people are going through tough times now and I love the message at the end. It is comforting and so true. I don't know who wrote it. If it was you...thank you.

With six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. 
Their father was gone. The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two. Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared. Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries. Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more beatings, but no food either. 
If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I certainly knew nothing about it. 
I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best homemade dress, loaded them into the rusty old 51 Chevy and drove off to find a job. 
The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small town. 
No luck. 
The kids stayed crammed into the car and tried to be quiet while I tried to convince who ever would listen that I was willing to learn or do anything. I had to have a job. Still no luck. The last place we went to, just a few miles out of town, was an old Root Beer Barrel drive-in t hat had been converted to a truck stop. It was called the Big Wheel. An old lady named Granny owned the place and she peeked out of the window from time to time at all those kids. 


She needed someone on the graveyard shift, 11 at night until seven in the morning. 
She paid 65 cents an hour, and I could start that night. 

I raced home and called the teenager down the street that baby-sat for people. 


I bargained with her to come and sleep on my sofa for a dollar a night. 

She could arrive with her pajamas on and the kids would already be asleep.
 This seemed like a good arrangement to her, so we made a deal. 
That night, when the little ones and I knelt to say our prayers, we all thanked God for finding Mommy a job. And so I started at the Big Wheel. 
When I got home in the mornings I woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home with one dollar of my tip money-- fully half of what I averaged every night. 


As the weeks went by, heating bills added a strain to my meager wage. 

The tires on the old Chevy had the consistency of penny balloons and began to leak. I had to fill them with air on the way to work and again every morning before I could go home. 


One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found four tires in the back seat. New tires! There was no note, no nothing, just those beautiful brand new tires. 

Had angels taken up residence in Indiana? I wondered. I made a deal with the local service station. 

In exchange for his mounting the new tires, I would clean up his office. 
I remember it took me a lot longer to scrub his floor than it did for him to do the tires.
I was now working six nights instead of five and it still wasn't enough. 

Christmas was coming and I knew there would be no money for toys for the kids. 


I found a can of red paint and started repairing and painting some old toys. Then I hid them in the basement so there would be something for Santa to deliver on Christmas morning. 


Clothes were a worry too. I was sewing patches on top of patches on the boys pants and soon they would be too far gone to repair. On Christmas Eve the usual customers were drinking coffee in the Big Wheel. There were the truckers, Les, Frank, and Jim, and a state trooper named Joe. 


A few musicians were hanging around after a gig at the Legion and were dropping nickels in the pinball machine. 


The regulars all just sat around and talked through the wee hours of the morning and then left to get home before the sun came up. 


When it was time for me to go home at seven o'clock on Christmas morning, to my amazement, my old battered Chevy was filled full to the top with boxes of all shapes and sizes. I quickly opened the driver's side door, crawled inside and kneeled in the front facing the back seat. Reaching back, I pulled off the lid of the top box. 


Inside was whole case of little blue jeans, sizes 2-10! 

I looked inside another box: It was full of shirts to go with the jeans. 


Then I peeked inside some of the other boxes. There was candy and nuts and bananas and bags of groceries. There was an enormous ham for baking, and canned vegetables and potatoes. 

There was pudding and Jell-O and cookies, pie filling and flour. There was whole bag of laundry supplies and cleaning items. 


And there were five toy trucks and one beautiful little doll. As I drove back through empty streets as the sun slowly rose on the most amazing Christmas Day of my life, I was sobbing with gratitude. 


And I will never forget the joy on the faces of my little ones that precious morning. Yes, there were angels in Indiana that long-ago December. And they all hung out at the Big Wheel truck stop.... 

THE POWER OF PRAYER. I believe that God only gives three answers to prayer:


1. 'Yes!'
2. 'Not yet.' 
3. 'I have something better in mind.' You maybe going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that you cannot imagine.

This dichotomy has been very prevalent with people lately so I felt compelled to write about it.

Like black tire hanging from tree, faith and disappointment swing forward and back, forward and back. Dichotomous states weigh heavy strain on branch’s support. Hope for future. Fear of past repeats. Branch creaks as tire becomes heavier with each passing swing adding force to make it go higher and higher until… it breaks.

Unoccupied, tire hangs in stillness. Branch remains strong. Tree remains vital and connected to other trees. No swing, no strain, no creak, no break… No fun.

Still tire invites movement; invites action. Can tire swing without becoming heavy and burdensome to branch? Can dichotomous states exist in moderation to allow experience of life without careening out of control? Wishes and dreams put into action without attachment to outcome, or timing, swings the tire just enough to have fun without breaking the branch.

Dear Boston,

Soul Spa member Kellie is having a very hard time birthing her daughter. She has had labor off and on for weeks now. She is only 2+ centimeters dilated. Today her contractions were about 6 minutes apart and hard but the report is her cervix isn't responding. The midwife told her the baby was locked and loaded for delivery. Kellie says the baby's head is so low she can feel it bone to bone. Kellie has lost her mucous plug. She was advised by her midwife today to go to the birthing center at the Alice Peck Day Hospital in Lebanon, New Hampshire. When Kellie got there she said there was a lot of chaos with people out due to a stomach flu virus that has been going around and there were numerous other women laboring and the environment was not stress-free. Kellie decided to go back home to labor.

She has asked us all to help her, the baby and to clear the dark energies she felt and saw at the birthing center. I know you have special gifts that the rest of us don't have. If you have time, would help?

Hi everyone. Kirsten has asked the following question, which was sent to me in an email, so I'm posting here.

Hi Boston,

I guess I am struggling with insecurity issues especially around going back
to work. I don't know if this is a spiritual dilemma or if I just need to
gather my thoughts?

Here's what I wrote on the Soul Spa website:
I would like to volunteer for a surrogate healing. I am realizing that I
have embedded ego issues that keep me from knowing and flowing my true self.
At least, this is what I am picking up. The Holy Spirit will know the real
issue. I feel like I have been given so much, but don't allow myself to
access the greater good for me at all times. Does this make sense? For
instance, I struggle with making decisions, especially major lifestyle
changes, and compare myself with the best and feel insecurity. Yuk! I am
feeling stuck in my creativity and keep myself in places that make me dwell
on the could be rather than what is and can be. Please help me release this
bonds that tie me down.

What do you think? Thanks Boston...

In Christ,

Kirsten

My response is this...I feel for you Kirsten, and for so many others right now too. Many people are feeling stuck and wishing about the future. The good news is, there isn't anything wrong with you other than you're human. In our culture, work takes a whopping 40 hours per week for most people. That really sucks the autonomy out of your existence. The four things people need to have inner peace are autonomy, creativity, self-mastery and service to others. Without autonomy, none of the other three can be accomplished. Going back to work can make anyone feel insecure and anxious, especially if the work isn't your passion.

That aside, let's talk about you specifically. I think you don't allow real success in your life. Not because you fear it, but because you do fear disappointment of not getting it. On some level, it's easier to just not go to the point of success so you don't have to lose it. That is a habit of past experience and thinking. There is no healer in the world who can make that disappear for you. You have to change your reaction to the present. If you allow yourself to get faithful, hopeful or wishful about the future, then you must also become hopeless, angry and disappointed if your goal is not reached in the time you think it should be. That doesn't mean it won't be reached, but that it isn't reached yet and you see that as continued failure and disappointment.

You're also having self-esteem issues. Everyone does that. Everyone compares and beats up on self. This is also a very bad habit and you have the full authority to change it. You are in control of your thoughts so be careful what you think. Check my blog posts on http://nowageknowledge.blogspot.com/. There are a couple of pieces about self-esteem.

This is a growth process Kirsten and there is no energetic guru who can take away this process. This is the Self-Mastery portion of inner peace. This is about being human and making your human self cooperate with your higher knowledge. It is a task, but a doable one. Allow yourself to not be so perfect, stay present because doing so allows your mind to stay open so spirit can guide you in the moment, which is how they work. If you are busy beating yourself up or focusing on the future wishes and dreams, you may not be able to hear their message when it comes.

All by best to you.

Raw and insistent, fear grumbles in mind like poisonous venom as it courses through veins eating life. Fangs of obsessive notion gorge on flesh of connected love. Subtle in opinion, fierce in anger; fear grows mightier in every moment it is allowed to thrive. Think of it to give it power; ignore it to give it due.

Rather focus to empowerment of other. Give detachment of need or want. Give non-judgment. Give to raise esteem. Self will not die without the love clung to, but thrive on the giving of it. Empty longing will not be filled without the elevation of other.

The poisonous beast may only be killed through setting it free. Violent force upon it grows it stronger and fiercer. Gentleness it cannot understand nor tolerate. Give and it shall die.

Control of life progress and process eludes as learning self-discipline of mind slows manifestation of future dreamed. 2012 approaches like a hurricane with its promised notion of self-realization and ability to manifest life as wished. Mighty winds of disciplined mind lacks for such a task while notion has arrived. Right now stormy powers hover, yet unrealized.

Thoughts travel outward in a swirl made visible to God-force and returned as sent. Keeping a blank slate returns a blank slate. Power is held by the disciplined and undisciplined alike. Heart and mind create. That upon which is focused returns through the hurricane rains.

Like thunder, the booming voice of judgment rolls out in ripples as it licks the aura of other only to echo back and penetrate identity. Lightening strikes out another chip of self-esteem, as longing to push away self-realization satiates for the moment. Strive to raze back from the ashes by throwing another ball of BOOM only to burn further down.

Thunder penetrates and lightening burns bringing opportunity of transformation. Renovate self in the wake of casted ripples. Become a phoenix of discernment, which casts nothing: not to other, and therefore, not to self.

Chaos sometimes appears in restless form while empty weighs in with a hefty dose of blah, accompanied by boredom. A lioness of energy roars for the hunt of dreams that won’t wait for a starving hunter. She growls low and furrows her brow with a quizzical suggestion of NOW. Now is the time to pounce, now is when something must happen, but she waits because she must. Agitatedly waits for the next meal of direction to fill the empty of tedium.

Out of the chaotic wilds a new kind of meal comes, but not yet. Lioness must linger and listen for her prey of dreams. Will she recognize it when it comes, or will it pass stealthily by unnoticed? She prances back and forth eager to capture her new essence.

“The Lord is my Sheppard, I shall not want. It means that we don’t trust God to bring what we need, but rather are focused on getting what we want. I don’t believe that was ever God’s intent. I believe that we are here to serve God and that means going with what God wants.” Olivia from Grace, Karma and Sin: A Story of Clearing Karma by Boston Carter.

Life creeps along more slowly than desire for movement. Transition to another step in journey’s purpose leaves wanting for more…now. Conscious self wants control, wants progress, wants, wants, wants like a small child expressing tantrums of yearning.

Strive to complete journey brings stoppages, one after another. Let go screams higher self. Let us see what’s next. Let us run things from where we can see the future. Allow self to relax; enjoy a break in between tasks. No movement now sees busy-ness in near future. Eliminate struggle, wait for planets to align with your mission; wait for right timing.

I am setting poetic license aside for this blog so I can talk straight and clear about how to raise self-esteem. I see the issue of low self-esteem as the reason taking of energy is such a big phenomenon while giving remains minimal. This is what creates conflict both on a personal level and a world level: a strong desire to take and not give equally. Taking energy occurs when focus is placed on self in negative ways. For example, does so and so love me? Do I parent the right way? Do I meet expectations?

Self-esteem comes into question when inner conflict is experienced. You may have two values that are out of sync. For example, you value providing for your family, but you also value following your passion in regards to career and that may mean not having sufficient income to provide for family. The conflict of values will wreak havoc with your self-esteem.

How to raise self-esteem? Make a list of what you value on each of the four planes: Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Where do those values come from? Are they yours or do they come from your family, boss, culture, media etc.? Can you live up to your expectations? If not, then you have to change your values or change your behavior to suit your values. Likely both. If your expectations are too high, you will always suffer low self-esteem. If your behaviors, and I mean on the inner more than the outer, don’t match your values, you will suffer low self-esteem.

You may have to accept your humanity. Appreciate what being human does. It gives your soul an opportunity to experience all parts of energy, not just the light parts. Pushing your ego aside will not help you. Your ego is part of your humanity and it is not a bad thing. Ego is nothing more than a container for your thoughts and attitudes. It is full of whatever you fill it with.
1. Physical - Express appreciative thoughts about your body and what works right with it rather than what you think is wrong with it. Express gratitude for all materials received such as food, clothing and shelter.

2. Mental - When you catch yourself thinking negatively, thank your mind for showing you the binary energy system at work. That is why your soul is here, to experience all parts of energy. Then move on and choose what you think.

3. Emotional - Feel appreciation for your emotions, all of them. They exist to give you power, consciousness and information about your interactions with the world. Then choose how to manage them and evaluate values.

4. Spiritual - Your soul automatically wants a relationship with God, however or whatever that is to you. Remember God in all things in each moment because a part of you longs for that connection home. Develop a daily spiritual practice, even if it’s just saying thank you to God when you wake up each day.

Think of what you can do for others. Serving others is the root of what every soul on this earth finds to be of value at this time so how can you help? You can serve simply by giving love energy out. No one has to know that you do it. In fact, if you are really loving, and not taking energy, no one should know.

Hi Boston,

With your special abilities will you send some healing to my son-in-law Jeff? He is a Marine with Military Honors who was injured in the Iraq war. He had surgery on his foot today. He will be in a cast for 2 months and then will have physical therapy.

Robin Alexis

The following question was asked....

Hello Boston,

If you feel led, I have a question that you may share with the forum.

I am struggling with losing weight. I eat fairly healthy, work out
regularly, but remain heavy. I have tried eliminating things from my diet
to see if it is a food allergy and I am working with a doctor now to
regulate my hormones. Even with these changes my weight barely budges. Is
this physical, spiritual, mental? Why is my body hanging on to this excess
weight and what aspect do I need to focus on to get my weight under
control?

Thank you and God bless.

~Joanna

Hello Joanna,

I see a few things about your weight issue. First, on the physical level, I think you have Candida overgrowth. There is tons of information on the net about that so give it a google and learn what you can about diet changes that will help.

On your mental and emotional planes, I feel a lot of frustration with your body. I completely understand why. I'd recommend you start expressing appreciation to your body for all the things that are right about it. Your body functions really well in many, many ways. It will get the message you like it and will respond accordingly. You are a beautiful person and it's important that you know it on the inside.

Spiritually, you have some ideas about what you should be like as a spiritual person and that conflicts with your humanity. See your humanity as a good thing because it is. All the negative parts are why you are here, to experience your whole self and your human side allows you to do that. Appreciate it.

I hope this helps and thanks so much for the question. My blog this week is about how to raise self-esteem so stay tuned.

The darkest demon within writhes unseen through the copious thoughts of self. Not enough. Never enough. Unlovable. Others are more. A constant struggle to move into light, Self takes. Search for others with light from whom to take so Self can find love. So much taking, so little time. Who shall give?

Search for partner love from whom to take. Want someone with humor, to be good enough, to give enough. If other is good and near, then Self is lovable. Low Self-esteem drives need to take.

What to offer? Hmmm. Give? Couldn’t possibly. Self would have to know value to make an offer. What value is Self? Hmmm.

Notice a longing to do anything else when faced with the opportunity to do what is loved. What is loved is heart singing and soul fulfilling of passion. Passion is personal power rising from the depths of unconsciousness to be shone upon from the highest high. What fear lies in fulfilling passion? Accessing personal power terrifies like riding in a plane falling to ground uncontrolled. So unworthy to accomplish God’s will that sought instead is another task. Any task will do.

Trust God? Yes. Trust self? No. How to accept personal power to accomplish God’s will / self-passion? Detach from outcome. Detach from idea of Self in charge of path. Detach from all decision making. Trust God to know all means and ways. Trust self not to know how, when, why or what, but to stay out of the way and listen. Listen and follow heart. God will do the rest.
