Collective Reading October 20-26: We Are God

There is a great collective purging of energy going on, and it comes with events and experiences that may not be the most pleasant to go through. Hold your contentment in these moments, and understand that you are doing the most important work you can do by just being present. You are the boots on the ground, and your presence matters.

Because you are here, you must also understand that the Universe has your back. This means that as you do your work and take your steps, however uncertain you may feel about the outcome, others are diligently creating the safety you need to step forward. We are working together to make this happen. In cases of conflict or confusion, remember to connect back to love. Offer grace and forgiveness. Hold space for big feelings, knowing that we are alchemizing them by allowing them to pass through with love.

We as souls in human bodies are filtering the energy around us, purifying it as we feel into our bodies. This is our work, spinning flax into gold as we do our time in the dungeon of difficulty. But we do it for a good reason, and we are rewarded for our efforts. It all evens out.

We as humans have no need to place gods on pedestals or idolize other beings in other realms. We are on par with galactic beings of light across dimensions. We may even be these beings, playing human while we figure out how to shift Earth higher. It is not humility to debase or belittle humanity. It is humility to fearlessly discover and honor who we are, as we honor all others in their true identities.

If the Source of All That Is can also be defined as God, and we are part of that whole, then it is no stretch of the imagination (or logic) to know that we are all God. Your connection to divinity is being called into center stage as you define yourself in a more holistic way. How do you relate to the concept of God, and how does that need to heal to include your own divinity?

Among other words evoking honor, reverence has been polarized into a hierarchy of power and oppression, but let’s bring it back into perspective: we are God pretending not to be God. And if we reverence God, in whatever form that is, we should be reverencing ourselves.

Reverence for ourselves means taking ourselves seriously. Giving ourselves the care and kindness we would give someone we deeply love and respect. Having faith in ourselves. Having faith in the whole big picture working out. Seeing ourselves as All, and All as ourselves, and giving honor to it all.

In the end, the work we do to free ourselves and our beautiful soul family is sacred work, worthy of praise and support. The heavy lifting we are doing may prompt us to doubt our strength, but like a bodybuilder straining under the load of the maximum amount of weight, we cannot truly see how strong we are until we have put it down and recovered from our effort. So we might as well believe in and hype ourselves up while we are on the stage performing such a great feat. Our loved ones witnessing our efforts have nothing but love and hope for us.

Keep strengthening your resolve by honoring, loving, and reverencing yourself and your work. All of it makes more of a difference than you can see yet.

Tarot of the Week

Collective Reading October 6-12: Go Within

This is a turning point for you, in which your Higher Self is coming through as much as you will let them. It is highly important this week that you do not engage in drama, but instead tap in to your deepest well of inner peace–and guard it from negativity.

Fitting in with everyone else who “cares” about what’s happening will not help anything. Commiserating is not going to solve the problem. Be sympathetic to the struggle, but you are here to remind yourself and your loved ones that we truly are able to rise and overcome all of it.

The biggest help you can be is to remember who you are; do what you can do when you have your boots on the ground; and balance rest with effort.

Worry does not fit anywhere in this. Once you have identified what is making you feel how you feel and connected it, take a breath and remember to ask for and look for the solution.

A helpful mantra: Wow, this feels so big. My feelings are reasonable for what I am experiencing, and I know that I am part of the solution as I send love to the situation. What can I do, and what can I ask for help with?

Do, ask, and then trust that the best help is coming. Find the evidence of that help and give thanks for it. Allow yourself to receive what you need with open arms, and block all that does not serve your highest good. Unconditional love, unconditional boundaries.

You may wish to transmute worry into prayer. Prayer is a helpful tool because it focuses our energies. Mantras and affirmations are a form of prayer, as well. You can also use your imagination to bring about a potential good resolution. Visualization based in hope adds light and opens doors to higher possibilities. Even if these ideas dont happen, they serve to open your mind to the potential of a better outcome. What if things go better than expected?

Love is always going to bolster you up. Remember to love and believe in yourself and your power, no matter what.

Your new reality is taking shape as you continue to hold your resonance.

Collective Reading September 29-October 5: Healthy Boundaries

For so long, you have felt like you were locked out in the cold, looking in on the abundance of others. This week we are finding our empowerment and claiming our abundance. Be firm in your belief in your worth.

The beginning of knowledge is understanding that you don’t know something. The beginning of abundance is realizing that you want something you don’t have.

Before you experienced lack, you experienced undifferentiated wholeness. There was no lack, and there was no abundance. There simply WAS.

Then, the question was asked, “What is this thing that I have, and what does it do for my experience?” Like a science experiment, this idea piqued your interest.

And so, you agreed to experience existence without that thing. You learned that not having it created problems, but the plan was always to attain it again. You enjoyed the idea of coming to appreciate that thing more. You decided that you would choose kindness when you felt badly, as well. You would be the good. In experiencing an abundance of lack, you felt the energies of sadness, jealousy, and competition. You felt fear and guilt, as well. Nevertheless, you knew that taking abundance from others would not fix your feelings, and so you chose poverty and self-denial until you could find your own abundance again.

At the same time, others also incarnated to experience lack, and their reaction to it created an insatiable hunger. They turned the energies of sadness, jealousy, and competition into justification for taking from others. They forgot that we are all part of the whole, and that hurting one hurts all. They chose not to care, deadening their feelings and separating themselves from the pain of the whole so that they could continue to inflict it. They shoved their guilt off onto their victims. You saw this and started to believe that poverty was the best way forward. You may have taken an actual vow of poverty at one point, as well. Betrayal got involved, causing community wounding. The social system skewed in favor of those with insatiable hunger to take for themselves.

This game is ending, and it’s ending now. In bringing the world back to wholeness, balance must be restored. We can no longer live in a world with such drastic imbalance, because the effect of it is pulling the collective Universe off balance. What began as a smaller game has spiraled into a disaster.

The higher powers of the Universe are stepping in to break up the game, and have been doing so for a while. The solution must match the problem, and that is why it has taken this long. If you feel big shifts, or feel you are part of these big shifts, you are correct. Keep balancing service to others with service to self inside yourself.

No light is ever wasted, and no true love goes unrewarded, in the long run. It is not your job to punish selfish people. It is your job to reclaim what is rightfully yours and be compassionate. That claiming is not punishment. Remember that self-compassion is as important as compassion for others. You cannot give to others if you have nothing to give. You cannot endlessly break your cup to fill someone else’s. Drop the guilt over feeding yourself.

The biggest factor in your success now will be your ability to hold healthy boundaries. Take time and energy to rest and refill your cup as needed (and give when you feel like it!). You are looking for reciprocal energy from others who believe in service to others in balance with service to self. A kind no is better than a dishonest yes.

The key is to start valuing balance above self-sacrifice. This will allow you to finally drop these negative emotions and ideas that held you back. Be gentle with yourself in this process. Creating safe space within you is the most effective way to heal the collective.

-Elihu John

Tarot of the Week

Collective Reading September 22-28: Self Love

There is a grounding effect in the guiding card, Eight of Earth, that is much needed this week. Transformation and creation are only as useful as our ability to root them into our lived experience, so connect back to your roots.

It can be overwhelming to witness and experience big changes with something solid to hold on to, let alone without that support. If you find yourself struggling, start with grounding back into your body.A tree withers and dies without its roots. Roots dry up if not planted in good soil and watered generously. In all your expansion, remember to come back to the simplicity that started everything. This whole operation is only as useful as the simple vision that started it.

This vision was so vivid and inspiring that when you received it, you gladly pledged your life to it. What kind of vision could have merited that? What kind of vision would need so much?

The vision was to express love, in your own unique way. In a world that has a lot of the opposite, you came here to create as much love as you could possibly channel, in the ways you were best suited to do so. The adage, “it takes all kinds to make a world,” applies here, but instead of allowing the focus to be muddled by assuming that darkness deserves to thrive, consider the many, many ways light can and should be expressed, and start looking for those people in your path. We are shifting the balance of Earth from an over-abundance of dark expression back to true balance, which means deconstructing how much darkness we should expect to encounter. In this project, we have so much support. If you feel unsupported or hopeless, this is your invitation to look for what is working for you. You truly have everything you need.

The Three of Pentacles at the hub of the wheel reminds you that your innate synergy was measured and deemed capable of this work. A butterfly is not merely the sum of its parts. The parts working together create a much larger effect. Remember who you are underneath all these parts you can name. Combined with the synergy of our whole network, we are more than capable of fulfilling our collective dream of bringing balance back to Earth. This is the vision.

You stand on the shoulders of many lightworkers who came before you. In our common goal, they paved the way as far as they could. Understand that your positive ancestors are still supporting you. They never left you alone. They cannot do the work that you are here to do, because their work is to hold their own energy for you to climb higher. A mountain is built of many grains of soil, and all of them must take up their own space so the whole may rise. This is a game where everyone wins, and no one’s position is better or worse than another.

Remember that the dark demands a zero sum game, but the light understands that a win for one is a win for all. There is no competition, and harm to one is harm to all. True love means keeping harm in check so that all are safe. Unconditional love includes unconditional boundaries.With right action at the right time, you are guaranteed to effect your purest intentions. The Sun card at the top invites you to choose a focus. It also reminds you that actual sunlight is quintessential to your physical and spiritual bodies. It is not enough to build roots underground or grow up from well-watered, well-drained soil. You must put forth leaves and absorb sunlight. You are basically a complicated plant with moveable roots. Act as such.Sunlight also means the love energy your soul craves, both from nature and humans. If you compare your growth to a tree, it is reasonable to remember that photosynthesis can only take place with leaves turned toward the Sun. Turn your attention away from the shadows of hatred and harm and toward the love that is freely offered. This love is found everywhere, and especially in nature. If you still aren’t finding enough of it in your surroundings, remember that this love is first and foremost within you. You have your own personal Sun. That is why your third chakra is called the Solar Plexus.

The one most deserving of your own love is you. Come back to loving yourself, and you will see your path clear again.

Much love to you,

Elihu John

Tarot of the Week

Collective Reading September 15-21: Success

This week we are connecting our efforts to our results and observing how what we do has an effect. So much of the process of your goals manifesting has been difficult to justify because the results have been slow during the process of figuring out how and building momentum. You are ready to see results.

For the numerology of this spread, I’m seeing 7 8 9 10, which are the last few steps to completion. Seven is the number of the mental mind, the place where our ideas and beliefs solidify so we can move forward with a holistic approach to our goals. Ten as the central card speaks to the end result of our efforts. I found it interesting that the Chariot, the seven of the major arcana, chose to be at the top, and that the other spoke cards did not go in order. There are many ways and progressions to follow to achieve results this week. Don’t focus so much on the order of tasks, so long as you feel like you’re taking the next right step. Sometimes the cart has to come before the horse temporarily so that you know how to hitch the horse to it.

The interesting thing with this week is that Water Sister (11 in the sequence of the cups suit) insisted on replacing one of the cards in the spread before they were flipped over, and Eight of Fire almost came out last week. We are definitely seeing a progression here. Following one’s path steadily accelerates into allowing change to happen rapidly, both in our inner and outer worlds. Your trust and surrender of control over everything outside of your wheelhouse will make the transition smoother. Stop worrying and start breathing. If breathing all the way in is hard, breathe all the way out first, and trust that when you need to breathe in, you will have air to fill your lungs. That next step is here in front of you because you aligned with it. Are you ready to take it? The answer is yes, so metabolize the fear and do it.

Seven of Wind, Many Tongues, speaks to the feeling of futility as you try to use old systems to effect new results. It’s not your job to try to fix someone else’s broken system. It’s your job to find the middle path through to get the new result. There is also an aspect of gossip in this card. Others may be wagging their tongues, and the noise may be something you have to shut out. It’s not your job to correct others’ opinions, and it’s not their job to tell you how to live your life. Your inner voice must be the strongest sound you hear.

The guiding card, Eight of Water, invites you to find your inner sanctuary and stay in it. Much turbulence happening outside. Best to stay within your shelter so you don’t get swept away.

The old joke, “Why was Six afraid of Seven,” shows up here to remind you that those who have never done what you’re doing will have far too much criticism for their level of knowledge. Indeed, their criticism shows that they are out of their own comfort zone when they experience yours. A fish may not comprehend flying like a bird, although they both are quite comfortable moving in their own elements. Others’ fear is not protecting you this time; it’s hindering you. Give yourself permission to fly. No one else can do that for you.

You are divinely supported and are deserving of your own confidence. When in doubt, come back to these truths. Receive the blessings you are offered, knowing you have earned them.

-Elihu John

Collective Reading September 1-7: Run the Gauntlet

This week we have the opportunity to find out.

I hear the words, “Run the gauntlet.” A traditional running of the gauntlet was a ritualistic offering rather like releasing the over-abundance of a catch. The image I am getting with the phrase is of throwing back the fish that are too small, or releasing prisoners who had enough courage to dare to be free–or die trying.

We are the ones who survived and are now given the chance to escape. Will survivor guilt hold you back from claiming the opportunity that is yours?

There is no fairness in this predicament, when seen from this vantage point. You demand justice and equity for all. But if you don’t get out of harm’s way and return home to regain your strength (and reinforcements), who will come back to jailbreak those who can’t leave? Can you lift others to higher ground when you are not strong?

Survivor guilt robs you of the drive to succeed. And the irony is that you don’t need to see others with this lens of pity. We are each runners of our own gauntlet. This chance you have has nothing to do with anyone else, and vice versa. You manifested an opportunity for a better way of being, which was the whole point of your journey anyway. Trust that they have every opportunity to do the same.

You do not know what is behind the failures and successes of others. Pity robs them of their resilience and honor. Allow for things to be unfair now, and know that you have great ability to offer a helping hand when the timing is right, but the timing isn’t always right. You are not less good or less worthy when you are unable to be of use. This is a time for you to receive and still be worthy.

Four of Earth cautions you to first turn the key in the lock, and then try the handle. You can open the door easily if you open it the right way. You don’t need to turn yourself into a battering ram.

Remember that your abundance feels like coming home. Your harvest is the fruit of your labors, and you have earned it. Even if you are tired or lacking drive now, your past efforts still have value. You will be able to give again when you have accumulated the strength and wisdom to do so.

Believe in your worthiness to receive good things and you will find the easy path through the gauntlet. It will work out the way you are ready for.

Live long and well,

Elihu John

Collective Reading August 25-31: Dig In

Duality has always been a part of this Earth experience, and your current experiment in life is no exception. Light and dark, known and unknown, success and failure all add to your understanding and ability to navigate life.

What used to work for you is no longer working. But that’s nothing new. You are by now accustomed to having to change things up in your routine and mindset to get to the end goal. And you’ve had to learn how to navigate sticky situations with grace and patience.

All of this has built confidence and trust in your Higher Self, as well as in who you’re showing up as now. Don’t underestimate the power of taking the next right step and believing in your vision until you gain traction.

You have to know what doesn’t work in order to fix it. You have to find the problem before you can fix it. This week is demanding patience and self-love as you discover the unsavory results of your previous actions and habits.

You truly didn’t know better. How could you, having never been taught? But now you do, and because you are committed to excellence, this knowledge is fueling your desire to do better–and attain success.

Those who never try will never understand the cost of success. Nor will they attain it, because they have not put forward the energy that feeds the momentum. All they can do is wonder and talk. Only you know how long the road has already been. You have a great track record when it comes to breakthroughs and perseverance, though, so don’t worry about whether you get there. You will.

Reconnect with your vision regularly this week. Sit in silence, go for a walk, listen to music that urges you to tap along. When you are tired, take some slow, deep breaths. When you are overwhelmed, slow down and break the task into manageable smaller tasks. As soon as you catch yourself worrying, find something else to focus on that connects you to your senses. Smell the roses, or make yourself eat something nutritious. Get out of your head and just be.

This doesn’t feel like a particularly light week. But it is one that can propel you further than most if you dig your cleats in and push forward. Release the outcome and let it show up exactly how you need it.

You are divinely watched over, so just be present and do your part. You will get through this.

With Love,

Elihu John

Collective Reading August 18-24: Forward to Victory

When you know more, you can act from a place of more wisdom.

This week is about that balance between gaining knowledge and reaching into the unknown. It’s like you’ve learned how to use math formulas to calculate the outcome rather than just guessing. There will be new variables, but your formulas are more accurate now. Your past experiences have percolated into clarity.

20/20 hindsight is not the same as seeing everything ahead. At some point, you have to learn how to trust your own calculations and take the unknowns in stride. Your cause-and-effect brain is reorganizing through this shift, so if you’re acting in a more aligned way despite the unknowns, it’s because you’re using a better internal guidance system. It’s not a fluke.

Much of what has been happening on Earth in the last few weeks (years, if we’re being accurate) has been a recalibration of human software. We are shifting to higher timelines, upgrading anti-virus software, and expanding consciousness. This is all necessary.

What we don’t often see is the work being done behind the scenes. Trust that as you move forward, doors will open before you and close behind you. Your job is to just do what you’re supposed to do. You don’t have to carry the responsibility of anyone else.

Speaking of which, if you feel over-burdened, you may be carrying something that isn’t yours. Let that go in gratitude. If you feel overwhelmed, ask your inner guidance if the action you’re trying to complete is in divine timing. It’s okay to change your scope. Better to carry a load to the destination than spill what you’re carrying before getting to the end.

Even if you do spill, it’s going to be okay. You can recover.

The Chariot card reminds you that a step forward in any direction is still going to drive the mission forward. Someone else on your team may need to course correct, and you may receive some coaching, but that next step in an even better direction will never happen if you don’t take the one before it.

You’ve got this. The Universe has your back. Be optimistic and curious about how to move forward, and your energy will align with your beautiful future.

With love,

Elihu John

Collective Reading July 14-20: Shifting Higher

What a week! First, congratulations on all you have accomplished to get here. Your impact and power are bigger than you can see right now.

There are repeating symbols in this reading, which I will go into.

The first is the Sun. This is confirmation that you are on the right path. The Sun is often referred to as the ultimate “yes” card in Tarot. Even when reversed, or buried within another card, the Sun is a harbinger of success and joy. This symbol shows up in the actual Sun card, as well as in the card on the top and the card below it. You are finding multiple opportunities that feel right to some degree. Keep sifting through them to find the one you like the most. It’s okay to “date around.”

The second is the infinity symbol. Remember who you are. Remember that you are an integral part of this Universe, and that no matter what happens, your efforts matter. Always.

The Universe is watching your journey unfold, and it is pleased. There is nothing you need to do to gain love. You are doing enough, just as you are. Take the pressure off yourself to be perfect, to be better, or to be further along. You are doing enough because you are enough.

There is a lot of heaviness that you are processing through, which is why it feels so hard. Know that as you work through the darkness that seems to rise up to meet you, you are hacking away a thicket of thorns to get to where you want to be. As you work, stay in your peace. Stay in your positivity. The calm inside you will create calm outside you as you continue to choose it, so allow yourself to be well inside yourself regardless of what you see or hear.

Collectively, we are in transition from a darker paradigm to a lighter one. In these changing times, we are invited to become a vibrational match to the highest light we can reach. Once we have purged all darkness from ourselves, we will have no need to call lower vibrations home. That’s not to say it will go away completely. But it will cease to be the place you naturally go to when you’re not putting in effort.

Your home is the place where you feel the most comfortable and authentic, most allowed to just exist as you. You are able to interact with other places, people, and things, and will continue to do so. But these will not be as comfortable or familiar. At the end of the day, it’s nice to just come home and rest.

Your relationships will continue to need work this week. Make and keep healthy lines of communication, prune the ones that aren’t helpful, and remember that healthy relationships fill both people’s cups. There is no room for one-sidedness or martyrdom when we all have such a big purpose in life, so be sure everyone is benefitting from the relationship.

Fire is the suit of empowerment, and Fire Sister reminds you that you have more power to create the life you want than you realize. You also have many supporters. Keep going. You’re doing well.

-Elihu John

As well as offering collective readings here on my blog, I also offer one on one massage, energy, and Tarot sessions. You can book me here.

Collective Reading July 7-13: Positive Karma

This week, we are breaking out of old patterns and seizing new opportunities. In the process of active change, your desires are more potent than you realize. The process of manifestation is depicted here.

In order to understand what you’re working towards, you must understand some key truths about your purpose here:

You were made for joy.

Your life is the solution.

Your perspective and journey in this plane of existence are necessary to completing the whole picture.

These truths have been described in previous readings, and will help you to recognize the next steps.

8 of Fire, the central card, is about multiple opportunities opening up for you, seemingly out of the blue. Choose the ones that excite you and align with your purpose. You have been asking for this and preparing your mind, heart, and body to be ready to leap up and grab what comes.

Remember that all must be done in unconditional love. Don’t let fear cloud your vision; allow it to give you insight into why you’re scared of something so you can judge what to do with it.

1 of Fire reminds you that when you are breaking out of a pattern that is toxic or no longer aligns with you, there may be some chaos until you set things in an order that works better. You may find that people who were comfortable to be around before simply aren’t matching up to your new vibration, and that’s okay. Honor their journey, and let them go. Everyone is on their own path. Sometimes these paths line up, and sometimes they diverge. If they cross paths with you again, it will happen naturally and can give insight into where you’re at–and why. The best action is to allow things to go their own way and focus on your own work.

Separation is an illusion. The fact is that we as a Universe are always, always connected to everyone and everything. You can never permanently lose what is truly yours, and you can never keep something you take from others. There is a part of you at a healed and whole level who has resolved every issue you face now. This is your Higher Self. Your Higher Self is a valuable resource to ask for help and guidance. Your Higher Self is part of your Soul Council and is in communication with your Soul Guides, who are present with you specifically so they can help you when you ask.

That being said, you do experience a very real separation, lack, grief, and hunger in this life. This is the contrast that teaches you what you do and don’t like. Once you have identified it, you can clear, retrieve, and heal it. This work is an important part of the cycle of life, and is the answer to the problems that brought you out of the experience of Oneness.

Your life is the solution to the problems of this world. All of us have come here to solve the part we can solve, and we are doing it by healing ourselves. One life at a time, one person at a time, one community of aligned individuals at a time. Our journeys are the harmony that make the music of the world, and if you listen, you can hear it resonating through you. What a gift you give to All That Is.

I love you. You got this. Keep going.

-Elihu John
