When the Other Shoe Doesn’t Drop:

I have a beautiful new client who is full of questions, I must say, it is so incredibly inspiring! I forget sometimes what it’s like to be new to Spiritual Awakening. 

She’s been receiving Oracle cards from me as part of the 21 Days of Oracle Cards program. We’re about a third of the way into the process and yesterday she asked:

“Are all the cards this encouraging? 

Because I’m waiting for a card that’s like while you know what you’re doing and this will all happen, just be patient and keep working at it, now isn’t exactly your moment – when do I get that card?

I believe it’s called the other shoe”

Oh my gosh, what a great question!

It’s entirely possible that one day she will receive a card that tells her it’s not the time, and to be patient. That happens.

And I do have a couple of decks that just don’t pull any punches, they tend to gently kick your ass, and if they don’t, it’s possible that I will be guided to do so.

But no, for the most part the cards, and Spirit are gentle and loving.

Many of us have been taught that our concept of God or Spirit is angry and jealous…but quite frankly these are human emotions, they are not Divine in nature at all. Spirit is much more gentle, unless of course, you aren’t paying attention, then you tend to get your ass kicked in the form of lessons that rather hurt.

I always tell people that Spirit will whisper to you gently several times, but if you’re not getting the message, you’re going to get a lesson. This isn’t technically from Spirit, it’s simply the Law of Cause and Effect in action. 

In other words, if you do what you’ve always done, you get what you’ve always got.

And…if you ignore red flags, you will end up where you don’t want to be. 

There is a lot more free will involved than you think. It’s up to you to decide your direction, then Spirit will offer assistance. Once you take a step in the direction of Spirit and your highest good, Spirit will take 10 steps on your behalf…

But here’s the thing…you have to take that step! 

You could be wandering around in the wilderness for quite some time if you are not tuned in to who you truly are, how beautiful and special you are and how incredibly gifted you are. 

If all you do is think you are none of those things, you will attract experiences that confirm it. This is in line with The Law of Attraction.

Beyond that there are a couple of other  Universal Laws that are important to share. 

The first is the Law of Polarity. 

The Law of Polarity says that everything has an opposite…good bad, hot cold, love indifference. These opposites don’t exist on separate lines but on the same line; you’re always on a spectrum between the two. The idea is if you find yourself leaning more towards one, you can do the work to be more towards the other, and if possible to find balance.

The other is the Law of Rhythm.

The Law of Rhythm, simply stated is “everything has a season”. Even if nothing SEEMS to be happening, you use your energy to prepare for the next season. AND you are allowed to rest so that you will be ready for when things come back around. 

I like to use the example of the seasons; in winter, we rest and prepare for spring; spring we plant and prepare for summer; summer we grow and tend our crops and prepare for the harvest in the fall; fall we store things away in preparation for winter…life always flows.

So yes, it is entirely possible that you AREN’T ready and that it isn’t time. But a delay is not a denial. Perhaps there are cosmic tumblers that have to fall into place in order for the thing that you have been wanting can come about. 

And maybe…just maybe there isn’t another shoe for dropping, maybe it’s just life and the way of things. 

By waiting for the other shoe to drop, you risk overlooking the most vital aspects of your present reality. The truth is, your only true power lies in the present moment. When your focus drifts to the past or future, you may miss the chance to take meaningful action—or to rest—right here, right now.
