Good morning, Beth. We've both arrived here with our

cards in our hands today. Both sitting here. I don't know if you can hear

the shuffley shuffles on the, on the recording, so why don't

we synchronicity of what we're going to speak

about today? What deck do you have? I've got

the, the prism oracle

deck. Tap into your intuition with the magic of

colour. Nice. I've got a few decks up here,

but we'll go with the colour ones. All about the colour. They can be

quite direct to these cards. Okay. I actually used them

to do a twelve month reading the other day because there's 45

cards in the deck. And I took one of the cards out and I split

them into four quarters into quarters.

And I did a reading using the cards for each of the

sections of the year, which was interesting. I can't remember all,

I can't remember all the things, but it was fun. It was an impromptu. Oh,

let's. I've had this idea. Let's do this. I was in the moment, so that's

what I did. So let's pull some

cards. Okay. So I have the divine

Masters Oracle deck by Kyle Gray.

Artwork by Jennifer Hawkyard.

I do love this deck, and it's

still quite new for me, but it, it has, I

don't know, it just has this kind of galactic feel about it.

I'm well into that at the moment. Let's just ask. Theme

for whenever you are. So this is where. Whenever, wherever,

whatever your listening list

messages for our listeners.

Okay. Wow.

Okay. So the first card that I pulled

is the Atlanteans. And it's like an

indigo bluey purple. Show you, Beth.

Indigo bluey purple figure of

light. And I can just see his. Her eyes

are very green and very deep and

they have this golden. It's a bit like lapis, if you imagine a

lapis lazuli crystal,

it's like that. And this is all about evolution,

about technology, about acceleration, about

what legacy we are leaving behind. And it's

interesting for me because this has been coming up quite a lot

recently in my, in my thoughts and in my

contemplations. I've been speaking a lot about this want and this need for

growth and for evolving. And this are we

influenced more by our past or by our future? And I'm seeing a

real shift. Like, it's coming up a lot for me in conversations about

what are we being driven by? Is it our past or is it our

future? And actually this

card, if you think about it's, the Atlanteans. And if you're familiar

with the, what should we call it, the mythical stories of

Atlantis, it is this legacy that they've left behind, and

it is these stories of power being safe in our

hands, of spiritual technologies, of

this collective energy, of people standing in their

own. What it is that they do and their own power, their own

strength, their own unique gifts, and

whatever it is that we do, the impact that, if you believe

in Atlantis, the impact

from thousands, maybe even millions of

years ago and how it is still impacting

and influencing how we show up today. So, for me, this

message is, think about your evolution. When

you're making a decision, when you're moving through something, yes, we're going to

be influenced by the past, but also think about where it is that we're going

to. And if you were telling this story in ten years

time to somebody about how you managed to

move through this, how would you like to

speak about this? As if it was a turning point, as if this was the

moment of. Yes, this was the moment that I

changed. I became. I made a difference, or whatever it is. So that was

my card, number one. I love that.

And the card that I pulled. So, just to add on to

this conversation piece, because I think it's a really

timely time that we are in right now in terms of how

we think about the future of communication and connection

and energetics and all of that. And the card that I pulled, it came out

twice because I was shuffling. I pulled it out and it came out, and I

said how these cards are quite direct. And then I shuffled it again and it

came out again. I was like, okay, I hear you, I hear you, card.

I know that's the first rule of card reading, is caution. So

we've got the caution card. And I think that's what is coming into the consciousness

of a lot of people right now is this is the unknown. It might

feel different. It might feel scary to what we're used to. It's

disrupting the status quo. I'm not sure what side of the

coin I need to be on or where do I stand, what is

my position? And maybe I don't have enough information right now to know

how I feel about what is going on. And we see this, like, we see

this online, we see a lot of conspiracy theories, and we

see people pooh poohing ideas, and then we see people who are just

fully into it. And then somewhere in between, there's this mixture of,

okay, I can take some of it and I can understand some of this,

but I'm not fully in that. And I think this card is almost like,

just recognize where you are in this conversation

piece right now. How do you feel about what is coming

up for you and trust your own intuition in terms of

being able to explore the messages around that and how you feel and want

to play with that and or just be an observer. It's not

like we all have this mission to be

on a crusade to get the message across. It may be that it's just about

observing, noticing, seeing. And

so I think the caution, it's less of a danger kind of thing.

It's more of a just stop and just be aware of

how you're feeling about this energetic shift that's going

on right now and how you want to

be a part of that in the future. What role do you want to have,

if any role? Do you want to just go with the flow and learn new

technologies and learn new ways of doing things, or do you want to stand

for something? Do you want to be the leader who actually says, no, this is

what people need to know and understand about it.

So I love the card that came out twice

and rightly telling me off for not reading it the first time. It's

an important conversation. We started speaking about this, didn't we, when we were

speaking about the aurora and this technology, and

then everyone comes in with our opinions. And I think that when we are

creating something new and we're moving into a new phase,

it's like this isn't, oh, just throw

caution to the wind and go and do it anyway? I think

part of this message is also, what am I bringing into this

new way? Am I stepping in to this

with like a kind of, like a sticky energy? Am

I stepping into this thinking it's not going to work or it's not going to

be? Am I scared? This is what I feel? Am I scared that

as I step in or I share my belief or I share this

new skill or talent or gift or philosophy or

whatever that I have, is it going to be ridiculed

and who's going to have an opinion on it and all of this?

And does that matter? Is that stopping

you? And if it is stopping you noticing that it's stopping you

and then going, okay, what else do I need to know about this so

that I can stand in my truth? Yeah, and even

that. I'm not talking about affirming yourself with cognitive

dissonance. It is looking at the other sides for me. All the

conspiracy theories and all of this I find them very interesting.

And regardless of what my opinions are on

each specific different one, I think that there

can be a. Should I call it a golden aspect and there

can be a shadow aspect to these things. And

just because one is true, it doesn't mean all are true. Yeah. As

well. That's a rabbit hole that I've certainly been

down. And what is it that we

are? Like you said, what is it that we're standing for?

And I think as long as, when we come back to, is this

for good? Is this mine? Is this my thing? Is this

based on my gifts, my talents, my strengths, my challenges, my

transitions, my experiences of the world? Yes. Is

this going to help somebody else? At least one other person?

Is this common, formed with the good intentions and

this need to, or this want, this desire to

make some form of positive impact in the world, even

if it is just tidying your corner of the

garden? Right. Is there some positive impact that's coming from

this? And if those answers are truly yes,

then why would we let anyone else stop us? Yeah.

What is the problem with that? The thing that I like about conspiracy

theories is that if you catch yourself,

you recognize where your focus is and where your point of attraction

is, because you can actually. It's almost like you can catch yourself, actually. Why

am I getting so wound up? Or why am I going down this rabbit hole

when I actually, it doesn't light me up and I know in

my belly or wherever, my intuition is telling me that this is not where

I need to be focusing my attention right now. And so just if you

see conspiracy theories and they get you wound up or whatever, then just

notice that, okay, there's something in here, there's something triggering.

But where do you want to be focusing your attention instead?

And what is it triggering? Yeah, what is it triggering?

What's coming up for you? Why is that particular one doing it? And is

it because there definitely are benefits to understanding

them, I think. Absolutely. Getting involved in them. And

some of them, there'll be truths, and some of them, they'll be half truths, and

some of them, they'll be all truths. And we don't know. And I think that

it is an important conversation as we are awakening

and as we discover that maybe the world isn't how

we thought it was or how we were taught it was.

But then again, it doesn't mean that everything that you read on a comment in

Facebook with that's been

delivered with all the passion in the world, it doesn't mean it's

true. It doesn't mean it's not true, but it doesn't mean it's all true. And

even if it is true, are you looking at this in anger, fear,

shame, guilt? Yeah, whatever. Yeah. Or are you looking

at it in. Okay, that's interesting. I'm going to get

curious about it. How can I bring this awareness

now into what it is that I

do? Is this something that is now fundamentally going

to change how I show up in the world or how I share

or how I act or how I work with energy or whatever

it is? And if the answer is yes, then you make a difference. If the

answer is no, then start watching out, because I've seen

this in many circles. Start watching out of. I have

got this truth. It is sitting in my pockets, and

I'm going to shall you all don't know. And I know,

and that is when there starts to become

a. It can start to

become dangerous. However,

I'm just going to say this. We all have different missions. And some of our

missions, some of us, I don't think me,

but some of us are here maybe to shake people

awake, like, to literally bulldoze down and be like,

baa. And if that's your path, good for

you, and you have a role, and I'm not minimizing that.

And maybe this is how we find that discernment and we find our path and

we find where we are with it and we start to open our minds into

different points of view. Yeah, just watch. Am I coming

at this through anger, shame, guilt, fear? Or am I coming

at this with curiosity, with standing in my power,

with using this information to accelerate this

atlantean card? Is Atlantis a conspiracy theory?

I don't know. And I think, yeah, that's another interesting point,

isn't it? Because every belief that we hold is our

belief. And it's good to understand the

beliefs of many different people and have that level of understanding so that

we can have intelligent conversations, so that we can understand both

sides of the fence and we can understand where each other are coming from. It

doesn't mean that you have to take a stand

for either one of them or both of them or neither of them. You can

do whatever you want to do. But it's not just conspiracy

theories. It's anything. When you're listening to news about wars and different

sides of arguments and different points of view and different

perspectives, it's good to understand

that from different perspectives and different

lenses, and then come to

more intelligent, grounded responses and

thoughts based on what. What is coming up and through for you. Because, like you

say, like I used to, when everybody used to go on strike at

work, I do not have a militant burn in my body.

And I could never understand. I'd be like, why do I need

to strike? Everything's gonna turn out the way it happens anyway. So they used to

get really wound up with me when I would cross the picket line, but

everybody in my body was like, I don't need to strike.

I don't need to be in a union, because I know that

whatever happens for me will unfold exactly how it's supposed

to happen for me. And whilst I support you in your cause. And then I'll

bring you some cups of tea out while you're standing on the picket line,

and we can all be friends when we're all back in the office. I

do not have the same militant

feeling about striking as you do. And that's just the way I've been.

And so I think it's important to question, why are we doing

something? Because there will be people, for example, who go on strike? Because that's the

thing that you do. That's the thing that you do. And I'm not saying that

it's a you shouldn't do it. I'm saying absolutely do it if that's what you

feel called to do. But if you don't, then just question what's

going on there. Is there a different way to get our messages across and

have conversations about the things that matter a lot to us? And

is one particular way the right way?

Right. And if you're choosing to strike for.

If we're using that as an example, then what energy are

we going into it at? Because you can be in these spaces

and they are full of anger and whatever. And

then you bring one person in anger, you bring ten people, 20

people, 100 people, 1000 people, the whole nation, right? It starts to have a

compound effect. And actually, when you're going in,

is the intention for growth and change

was one thing. Everyone get together. Growth and

change. This acceleration card,

this evolution vibration card. And imagine that. Imagine you

all go in, we had teacher strikes last year. My kids are still going to

be mummy, when are the teachers going to strike? End of the day off.

Yeah, we had the teacher strikes here.

We. And they had their reasons for it.

But I wonder how many of them went in with this

anger and with this upset and

with this militant. We need to express

ourselves, which, again, is fine, and it has its place,

and anger is there so that it can

spur us into action and maybe finding compassion making

change, finding courage, it has a reason for that. But when we're coming

in and we're all coming together, what if we came in with the focus of,

yeah, I'm angry that things aren't going my way or that we're

being taken advantage of or whatever, but what if actually we use

this collective group to envisage

not we're gonna show it, we're gonna have it, right?

But with imagine that we're all coming together,

imagining that the conditions are what they are, imagining

that, yes, we're all being paid really well, and the children are having their

learnings and the resources are there, and we come in, and

in 20 years time, when these children are now

our MP's and prime ministers and bankers

and whatever, they're coming in with this real good,

solid, right, imagine that half the nation's

teachers went together and envisaged that what the difference

would be? Yeah, that's where I was coming from when I was making

my stance. I suppose that was my stance. That was my strike. For

me. I was a solo striker because I knew, and I think this

is how a lot of people, not everybody feels. But the reason why

I didn't want to strike is that I knew that if I wanted to have

change in my life, that I was the one that needed to take responsibility for

that. I needed to be the one who created a vision and created

a life and started taking action steps towards that. And me

striking would only be resolving

a tiny moment in time at the beginning of that journey.

And I wanted to create a vision for lasting

change. And every bone in my body would not allow me

to stand and strike for what was happening that moment. Because I didn't believe in

that. I believed, like you just said, that if we create

vision and if we have really good, insightful conversation,

we can. We can create change. Because if we get into a position

where we're striking, then something fundamental has gone wrong in communication and

how we are being treated and how we feel and how we have that

sense of belonging and value and all of that. And so

something has fundamentally gone wrong before we get to the point of

striking. But unfortunately, striking is

not. Unfortunately, it's a right that we have, isn't it? People can

strike and do whatever they want. And I will always support teachers

and nurses and doctors and whoever, and council workers, whoever wants

to strike, because it's important to take a stand.

But there's like, good for you, like when the teachers are good

for you, you stand up for your rights. And yes, you deserve to be paid

well. And yes, you deserve. You shouldn't be having to buy pencils for the kids

that aren't even your own out of your own salary yet. I totally agree with

all of that. The point is, it's like, whatever it is that we're

doing, whatever stand. We want to take the stand. Yes, take the stand.

Don't, you know, don't let people take advantage of you and go for

what you think is right. And if you are feeling that anger, if

it's tumble down into that. Right, go, okay, I'm

really not happy about this. And that's a lot of energy, and you're angry.

Right. So use that energy for the good and change. Yes. Gather

everyone together. Yes. Say, come on, guys, let's go and

strike. But. And use that time. Use that

collective energy to go, okay? This is not an anger pit

that we are feeding into. That is going to feed into the

schools, into the. We've had all the train strikes as well, like into all the

commuters. We don't. All of these things that come in, let's do it so

that we can create good conditions. And that's the thing

that starts with you. And then whether you are on one side of

the fence or the other, either way you're standing for we want

better conditions or like, we want. This is what we're standing

for, for this unity, for feeling good in our work,

for creating positive change, for environmental impact,

for whatever it is. And use that because the power of the

collective mind is huge. But

when it's used in to shame somebody or to

bring anger or to scare somebody or

a bunch of people, then there's. Then nothing

constructive can really come out of it.

And this isn't just two for striking. This is anything. This is

you making a decision. This is you going to your boss or

to your partner or to your. The shopkeeper.

And it's standing in that. Yeah, I can have my boundaries. Yeah. I can know

when there's an injustice. Yeah, I can see that. I don't think that this

is right in the world. And I come back into myself

and I find that compassion, I find that better way, I find that

progress, this atlantean card, this evolution of.

Okay, this isn't right. I accept that. I honor that. I noticed

that. Where do I want it to go?

What's going to be best for me, for us, for all,

and then take the stand. Yeah. That's how we make a

real difference. Yeah. Imagine if we fuel that into. Because if we know

what we don't what we know essentially what we do want, and when we know

what we do want, we can create vision and action,

positive action around that. And it's important

to do that as a collective. And maybe the status quo

needs shaking up a little bit of how we do things. This is this

card. We do need to shake things up. But the caution is,

don't get carried away by your

emotional state, especially if it's spiraling down. The

caution for me is progress needs to happen.

Progress will happen. And we are in a really

positive, powerful time in our life.

Whatever you're reading on the news, actually from an

energetic consciousness point of view, we are in a really

positive, powerful, potent time where

we can go, okay, I know that there's an awareness. I know that I can

visualize. We are constantly creating the world as it is.

And let's be honest, the way that we've been creating the world as it is

hasn't been. We know we can see what we've got. We can see

because that's what we've got. So now it's okay, how am I

envisioning? What is it? What is the purpose of all of this? How

do I stand in my life? How do I become? How do I make a

difference in the world? And if enough of us come together, and there are

enough of us now, this podcast, there's people listening all over the world,

and that's just this one. And so if you're listening to this, then you are

one of the change makers, because there's no way that you'd be listening to a

podcast called soul inspired you. If you don't feel like you're

inspired and you're not connected to your soul. Like you wouldn't be

here. And so you have this potency that all it takes

is for one 2510,

2100 of us to come together and start to see the

positive change that we want to create in the world. And that will actually,

from a vibrationary point of view, negate the anger, fear,

shame that is being felt by maybe people

who don't have such access to that consciousness. And

then we are creating positive change in the world just by being in it.

I feel another card. Mel, should we pull another card each just

to round up the message of this, this episode, I

pulled three, so. I'm going to tell you, because the other two cards are perfect.

I say, yeah, so my two are hilarious. Beautiful green,

emerald green energy. Love that. A

man in the forefront, and he's wearing a green. He's like me. He's got

a green cloth over his shoulder.

And hilarion, if you know his story, and he hid in the

cave and he learned all of this stuff. And then this card

is about coming out and being shown and standing in your power. Like,

you can see the card. He literally has this light beam

coming from out of his head and through his ears, right? And

this triangle or diamond shape that sits around his

head shows the ripple that we can take.

And this is really about knowing your place. And I don't mean I

know your place. Do not come out. This is. Hey, you know what?

I have a privilege. I have a voice. I have. I am the. I

can speak. Maybe other people can't. How do I use that

to make the change? And then the other card is. One of my

faves was Mary Magdalene. And here she

is wearing this beautiful red sari and covering

her head, but it's like blowing in the wind. There's a lot of movement going

on here. And Mary Magdalene, she's

holding, I don't know what it is, a rose petal or

red crystal or something, but it's this kind of right by her heart,

like it's about to be shared out in the world.

And this is what we were talking about, because Marian Magdalen was very

misunderstood, and we're now starting to discover

other information around her. And I feel like

she's really coming back in to her power. And

for me, this is saying to you, you have got a message

to share. She's wearing the same color as me. Look at that. You

have got a message to share. This is part of your

purpose and your understanding.

And she, for me, really

encourages this inner inquiry. So exactly what you were talking about at the beginning of

this. It's okay. What do my bones tell me?

Yeah. What is it that I want to stand? And I can honor you and

you and honour me and what it is that I stand

for. Yeah, I love that. I love both those cards. Very

handsome, Hilarion, but

you can't see that. Listen, now imagine if they had

children. They were beautiful children.

Okay, so the cards that I have got are. So we've got mystery.

And I love how in this mystery card, we've actually got two

oblongs, but they look like towers that look like towers of strength. And they're standing

side by side, but they're from slightly different perspectives. If you look at

them, you're not seeing them front on. And I think this is about that

conversation piece around. There are always going to be two sides or

multiple sides of the conversations that we hear. And that we

want to talk about and that we want to be involved in

or not involved in. And that it's okay to

support, like you just said, mel, to support and still be kind, have

different perspectives, but still support one another and be kind and understand. Try

to understand if you can, as much as you can, where people are

coming from in their conversation pieces and if it doesn't fully align

with, you know, that like you said, everybody's had, everybody's got their own mission,

everybody's got their thing that they're bringing to the

party. And the more we can stand together in harmony,

even though we have difference, the better

the progression of society generally as we move forward. But it's

about mystery. This card is about mystery. So it's about, this is new

to a lot of people what is going on. And it's the mystery. We don't

necessarily know how the future is going to be, but what

we can do is have control,

either tight control or lose control of the life that you want

to and society you want to live within. And that comes back to

that vision piece that whilst we might not know all of the details, we

don't know how everything's going to unfold. We don't know where we're going to be

in 5000 years time. There's a level of

support that we can give ourselves just by taking the time

to think about how do I want to show up and how do I want

to be in this next iteration of the universe that we're

finding ourselves in right now. And in that sense, we've got a level of

control and perspective of how we would like things to

unfold. And then as things unfold, we can continuously start to check

in with, are we still in alignment with that?

Are we still doing the things that we want to do alongside all of

this new stuff that's coming in and just

support for one another, regardless of our perspectives on

that, that mystery, that. Even that word,

it's when looking at that card and you see these oblongs

and they're standing there like really strong in their own

power, in their own, they're like antennas. It's like I'm receiving what

I am, what I can. Now, for me, that idea of

mystery is, okay, I know my building blocks. I know everything

that's made me who I am. And it's very easy to go, okay, so now

this is what's next, because I know what's happened, so I know life. But when

we come, when we flip into mystery and see this other perspective, it's

oh, I wonder what else. Yeah, I wonder

what this could be. I wonder what next. I wonder what's

available. I wonder what's possible. And yes, envisaging

the outcome or the potential that you want, but still being open

to that, I wonder what else. Like this or

better. That's what we always say. Whenever I'm trying to something, I'm like, this

or better. Yeah, this or better. What? More

magic is coming. I love it. I've just relooked at the card as well. And

you can see, like, on one side of the towers, you've got. If you

imagine these were windows, I suppose the windows would be going, looking in different directions.

It's almost. One tower might not know that the other tower is there because they're

looking in different directions, but yet they're so close together. Yeah.

So it's almost. Look around you. What are the different sides of the conversation?

Yes, how can I better understand myself, but

also my peers, my allies, my

enemies? It could be your enemies, the people who we are told that we are

on the other side of. But actually, how are we the same? The

towers are the same. They're just in a different direction. We're all human beings having

spiritual experiences at the end of the day. And then the final

cut, I forgot two cards. I'll do them at the same time. We've got

beautiful trust and happiness. We've got goosebumps. So it's

trusting. What you are feeling, I think, is the first part, like, trust what

is coming up and through for you as we're having these conversations about

anything, not just on the podcast, but as you're just in the world listening to

news, listening to conversation, check in with how you

feel about something, and then just trust that whatever you're feeling is exactly how

you're supposed to be feeling in the moment, because we start to poo poo down.

Oh, I can't share that message because it will

rock the boat. It will rock the status quo. It will. And then people are

not going like me anymore. What if you need to be that beaker? What if

you need to be the one to just share and shine your message so that

other people can go, oh, my goodness, that was exactly how I felt, but I

didn't dare say that. And then all of a sudden, you start to create movement

around and ripples around that. And actually, the trust card has got all of these,

like, ripples got heart in the center, but then we can see these

ripples coming out of the change that we're making, just by trusting our

intuition and going with what we feel is right. And I think whenever we do

that, hey, it's cute, isn't it?

It's the baby of hilarion and Mary Magdalene. Whenever we,

whenever we follow our true, our true north, that we're in alignment with that, like

we're following our passion and purpose and we're doing what we feel is right in

our soul, regardless of what naysayers are saying, we will be on that

path of happiness because we're on the path of least resistance. We're in the flow.

We're doing our thing. Yay. So there we go. I just want to say this.

It's okay to feel happy, even when there's things going on in the

world that you're not happy with. In fact, I

think if we have the privilege to feel happy, that we

should take full advantage of that, because people that can't,

and you can't be sad enough to make those people happy. So

all we can do is to be in this trust, this. Notice what

information's coming in. Stand in. Stand in your power. Receive your

truth. Notice what comes up. Look at where you want to go.

Be very mindful of what actions you take and when you take it and how

you feel when you're taking it. Nothing wrong with shame, fear,

anger. It's when we act from that

and then try and spurt that out everywhere. So everyone's with you, that maybe

there's something that we can do better. So aim for that. Like, aim for happiness,

aim for joy, like it's there somewhere. You might not be there

yet, and that's fine, but it comes with that

path of trusting, of being open to the mysteries of the

world. I wonder what miracles are going to happen for me today. And

then notice, there we go. Notice the moments

that are bringing even just a little spark of

happiness in your life. And I hope that this podcast

was one of those little spots.
