Which tarot card
are you?
You are the Star card. The Star is the light of hope. Shining in the
night, sending light into darkness, the stars provide direction to
sailors and are a field on which to dream. Humanity used to look up at
the sky and desire to be there, to find out what it all meant, and now
we have been a distance into space and have elementary ideas of the
makeup of all the different stars. This kind of achievement adds further
fuel to our hopes. The eternal, slow-moving stars that will be long
shining past the end of our own existence provide hope of immortality,
and the vast space they suggest and the very mystery they hold provide
us with excitement and knowledge yet to be discovered.

the bushfire affected people, volunteers and emergency services, When speaking

land."
Aunty Joy Murphy
John F Kennedy
The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by
skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need
men who can dream of things that never were.
John F Kennedy
A nation reveals itself not only by the men it
produces but also by the men it honours, the men it remembers. John F. Kennedy,
10-27-1963
Edgar Allen Poe
Those who dream by day are cognizant of
many things which escape those who dream only by night.
Edgar Allen Poe
To vilify a great man is the readiest way
in which a little man can himself attain greatness.
Edgar Allen Poe
I would not join any club that would have me as a member. Edgar Allen Poe
Carl Gustav Jung
"The
psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it
happens outside as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided
and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act
out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves.”
DR. CARL GUSTAV JUNG
Michael Phelps -Winner of 6 gold medals in
Athens and 8 gold in China in Swimming.
"The greatest thing is proving that nothing was
impossible"
"So many people said it couldn't be done, but al
it takes is an imagination."
Martin Luther King
Those who love peace must learn to
organise as well as those who love war. (Martin Luther King, American
civil rights activist, 1929-1968)
We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's
children. (Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the USA, born 1924)
True peace is not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of
justice. (Martin Luther King, American civil rights activist,
1929-1968)
Was not Jesus an extremist for love - "Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you."
Was not Amos an extremist for justice - "Let justice roll down like waters and
righteousness like a mighty stream." Was not Paul an extremist for the gospel of
Jesus Christ - "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Was not Martin
Luther an extremist - "Here I stand; I can do none other so help me God." Was
not John Bunyan an extremist - "I will stay in jail to the end of my days before
I make a butchery of my conscience." Was not Abraham Lincoln an extremist -
"This nation cannot survive half slave and half free." Was not Thomas Jefferson
an extremist - "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal." So the question is not whether we will be extremist but what
kind of extremist will we be. Will we be extremists for hate or will we be
extremists for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice -
or will we be extremists for the cause of justice? In that dramatic scene on
Calvary's hill, three men were crucified. We must not forget that all three were
crucified for the same crime -the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for
immorality, and thusly fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ,
was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his
environment. Martin Luther King
The time is always right to do what is right. Martin Luther
King
One who condones evils is just as guilty as the one who perpetrates it. Martin
Luther King
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. Martin
Luther King
We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. Martin
Luther King
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. Martin
Luther King
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Martin
Luther King
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a moulder of consensus.
Martin Luther King
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of
our friends. Martin Luther King
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and
convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Martin Luther King
If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't
fit to live. Martin Luther King
Darkness can not drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King
An individual has not started living until he can rise above
the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of
all humanity. Martin Luther King
Ghandi
Anger and intolerance are the
enemies of correct understanding. Ghandi
Be the change you want to see in the world. Ghandi
Fear has its use but cowardice has none. Ghandi
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to
err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever
so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human
beings of that precious right. Ghandi
The golden rule of conduct . . . is mutual toleration, seeing
that we will never all think alike and we shall always see Truth
in fragment and from different points of vision. Ghandi
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do
are in harmony. Ghandi
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged
by the way its animals are treated. Ghandi
Love is the strongest force the
world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable. Ghandi
I object to violence because when
it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it
does is permanent. Ghandi
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a
'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
Ghandi
Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with
love. Ghandi
If you don't ask, you don't get.
Ghandi
An eye for an eye will make the
whole world go blind. Ghandi
I came to the conclusion long ago . . . that all religions were
true, and also that all had some error in them. Ghandi
I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so
unlike your Christ. Ghandi
Yoda
"What's in there?" Questioned
Luke, "Only what you take with you." Answered Master Yoda.
(About the dark side and fear) Star Wars
Luke: I can't believe it. Yoda: That is why
you fail. Yoda
Try not. Do or do not. There is no try. Yoda
Size matters not. Yoda
The fear of loss is a path to the dark side. Death is a natural
part of life. Rejoice for those who transform into the force.
Miss them do not, mourn them do not. Attachment leads to
jealousy. The shadow of greed that is. Yoda
When 900 yrs old you get, look
so good you do not. Yoda
Edmund Burke
Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions,
than ruined by too confident security. Edmund Burke
Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny. Edmund
Burke
Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who did
nothing because he could only do a little. Edmund Burke
Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair.
Edmund Burke
The greater the power, the more dangerous the
abuse. Edmund Burke
By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a
nation. Edmund Burke
For the triumph of evil the only thing necessary
is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke
People will not look forward to posterity who
never look backward to their ancestors. Edmund Burke
No passion so effectually robs the mind of all
its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. Edmund Burke
Kathleen Raine
"As a child I became a confirmed
believer in the ancient gods simply because as between the
reality of fact and the reality of myth, I chose myth...Myth is
the truth of fact, not fact the truth of myth." Kathleen Raine
Bette Davis
"When a man gives his opinion he's a
man. When a woman gives her opinion she's a bitch." Bette Davis
This became a credo of mine . . .
attempt the impossible in order to improve your work. Bette
Davis
I would take a bad script and a
good director any day against a good script and a bad director.
Bette Davis
Old age is no place for sissies.

Jacquelene Close Moore
Some pearls I thought I'd share with you.
"The more eyes awake, aware, alive, and active we
are the less power something previously hidden has over us.
This is because a thing is recognised for what it is, not for what it pretends to be
or what we would like it to be....Thereby the illusion is broken and its power
over us eradicated." Jacquelene Close Moore
"The continued and complete avoidance of something
demonstrates the very urgent necessity for -at some point - that thing to
be discovered, delved deeply into, transformed, and actually utilised in your life. As
such, the only way out of something is often to go into it...confront it, face it, and overcome
it." Jacquelene Close Moore
True
success is a sacred combination
of 1% talent and inspiration
and 99% effort and perspiration…
In life, it is a person's focus that dictates their final destination…where that
leads your exploration of your greatest spiritual manifestation - Is it just the
journey? just a migration? or more than all that can be described, and a sacred
initiation? These are choices, but most of all it is about riding the waves as
they rise and fall, not sinking and swept up in the rise and fall, calm in the
troughs, strong in the face of a breeze, standing still, firm, strong, soft,
like a tree, even when undercurrents rush past your knees...Standing calm,
strong, yet heart open, to life's new growth, new opportunities and spiritual
epiphanies .. stay open to the epiphanies, everything can free, everything has
purpose everything frees if you look at it the right that is what you can see,
not just what is wrong but what is right, what is left - in clear sight, what is
day and what is night, enlight-en-ment, is not heavy, it’s not just light, it's
balance of all - and that is right.
Jacquelene Close Moore
Life
is too precious, too important, and too short for quick fixes that in the end
fix nothing and from which we learn nothing except that we have wasted our time
trying to find happiness in short cuts. The only way to real fulfilment is to
look inside see what is there and then to look outside and see what difference
we can make with what we have to offer from the seed of light that already
exists inside ourselves - whether we knew we had it in us, or whether it was
something we grew within us over the coldest, most seemingly dormant, or darkest
times, in order to reap the richest harvest of all. Jacquelene Close Moore
Advice on love for the broken hearted:-
If you love
something....set it free...
Go do something productive, get a pampering day spa
treatment, reinvigorate yourself, invite your
girlfriends over for comfort food and movies, take up a
new course, get a make over, some sexy underwear
perhaps? look at how you have been neglecting your
career, your family, and your social life... then)
if it
comes back to you
(What was that again? Oh yeah, if what you let go of
comes back to you...then don't drop everything, keep
your own interests and ideals alive)
it is yours, -if not -it never
was.
And…If it comes back to you and has
not improved since it left, but comes on back making even
more demands than before!?*@#
Well,
honey, you take that thang back to where you bought it
from...and you ask for a replacement!
Jacquelene Close Moore
Having the ability to convince people that the sky is actually
green doesn’t make doing it right... Jacquelene Close Moore
The person in the argument doing the most talking is usually the
one whose commentary is least based in fairness and
truth...Jacquelene Close Moore
He who had to be right was in deed the last one
standing…completely alone...Jacquelene Close Moore
"So long as you know who you
really are and are true to it, then other people's opinions
about you cease to matter." Jacquelene Close Moore
"No one
but you can make you do anything." Jacquelene Close Moore
"I am at heart
a dreamer but the realist in me drives my train and safely
returns me to the station."
Jacquelene Close Moore
"Time for me is
not linear. It is circular. All things come back into a circle
of life. I have all the time in the world for people where there
is respect and where there is need. I make time for all genuine
seekers but I do not suffer fools, not even for a minute, energy
takes time, and time is an energy. And so time, while not linear
is precious, time and energy should only be spent on things that
are helpful, positive, purposeful, and enjoyable to ourselves
and others, not wasted on things that drag us, or others
down..." Jacquelene Close Moore
"You should give respect to
all - however the proportion of it you should be expected to
share with an individual can be a matter of evaluating the
experience and example of respect that they have provided."
Jacquelene Close Moore
"Sharing is caring" Jacquelene Close Moore
"It is often thought that people find out who
their real friends are when the chips are down, but try having
some sudden, unexpected and huge success...Then you will really
find out who are your nearest and dearest." Jacquelene Close
Moore
"As common sense and initiative becomes less common, I
tend to advise people frustrated by feeling surrounded
by ineptness and mediocrity that they should instead try
thinking of it as "I am a genius amongst zombies," when
I tell people this they look really very
suddenly relieved." Jacquelene Close Moore
"We were given a pristine earth to
live on with all upon it and in it that we need to
sustain ourselves.
What we do with that gift is either a symbol of our
gratitude, or what we allow our children to be
left to answer for.
How short the memory of mankind?" Jacquelene Close Moore
Sometimes people ask me how I manage to do so much in
such little time. Each time, I can confidently and
honestly answer "With such little time on the earth in
the one incarnation, there is hardly a moment to waste."
"Your energy is like a weekly budget, how you spend it
and what you achieve from it is entirely within your own
control." Jacquelene Close Moore
"A pristine waterlily undiscouraged by its surroundings,
rises from the depths of a murky pond. It's lotus
petals perfume the air, as it flowers and
blooms brilliantly, purely, divinely, despite and
probably because of its origins. Becoming a
spiritual person does not mean you to leave your prior
life behind, but instead you integrate, learn, remember,
and respect what brought you to this point in the first
place." Jacquelene Close Moore
"The reflection
contained in a mirror is only as kind or as ill as
the projections you placed into it." Jacquelene Close Moore Jacquelene
Close Moore
"The
approval from the disapproving is only gained when you
no longer care enough to seek their approval."
Jacquelene Close Moore
"All good things come to those who wait but not to
those who hesitate!" Jacquelene Close Moore
"Perfection is contained within the acceptance of
the beautiful potentials
displayed inside the imperfections you can see...and
more importantly the
perfections that you cannot. " Jacquelene Close Moore
"Do not anger toward the ignorant, arrogant and
disrespectful amongst us, for the curse their own
stupidity reaps is far greater than could be created
through direction or design." Jacquelene Close Moore
"Taking one foot and
putting it in front of the other, that is the only
way to travel forward...If however you take steps
forward whilst looking backward; well -then you will
fall over because you end up tripping over something
you would easily have seen if looking where you were
going in the first place. So, when looking back just
stay still for a moment, allow yourself to reflect,
but then you must at some point turn around and just
keep moving - or you will stagnant on the spot which
means going nowhere at all." Jacquelene Close
Moore
"Approach all tasks with
equal enthusiasm. If at first you cannot find any joy
towards a particular task, meditate instead on the
satisfaction of having finished it! You will soon have
found more inventive and efficient means to complete it,
leaving more time for the things you truly enjoy."
Jacquelene Close Moore
