Eos ~ Rebirth

This is your card reading for Wednesday, November 4th/15.  Your card slid out onto the tabletop from the 'Awakening of the Divine' card deck, authored by Velva Dawn Silver-Hughes.  Each of the cards within this deck are aligned with a goddess and your goddess today is 'Eos ~ Rebirth'.  Velva Dawn's message for the card is this:
"Are you ready to shift into the new patterns of ease and grace? Are you willing to let go of the darkness and the pain? Can you feel the expansiveness of the energy of the New Dawn?  Are you willing to be part of the light that diminishes the duality on Earth?
Eos is the Greek, rosy-fingered goddess of the dawn and is equated by the Romans with Aurora.  Eos is a winged goddess who rides a chariot across the sky ushering in the dawn. Her horses are Lampus and Phaethon.  She and her siblings Helios (the Sun) and Selene (the Moon) were numbered among the second-generation Titan gods.  Eos rose up into the sky from the river Okeanos at the start of each day, and with her rays of light dispersed the mists of the night.  She was sometimes depicted riding in a golden chariot drawn by winged horses, at other times she was shown borne aloft by her pair of wings.
This card may come to you as an affirmation that it's time to step into the energy of the New Dawn and release the old baggage that has been holding you back. It's time to quit resisting the divine whispers to let go and embrace the New Dawn before they become louder and stronger.  Now is the time to be willing to let go of the old patterns of control and working hard.  Eos is inviting us into a reality of love, oneness, ease and grace.  Our thoughts create our reality.
This card may bring up an area of darkness in your life that you have been suppressing and may not have had the time to deal with it, or have been wanting to feel the pain that these experiences caused in this lifetime.  Invite Eos into your life to assist in transmuting the pain, grief, anger, jealousy, bitterness, and resentment that you may still have in your cells from your experience.  You may wish to ask Eos to also bring forth any darkness that you have buried deep within your chakras to be healed with the light of the New Dawn.
We are entering into a phase of high vibrational light.  You need not to be ashamed from your darkness, as it gave you the wisdom to share and support in the light.  We needed duality to learn the connection of love and oneness.  You may wish to go outside at dawn as the sun rises and give thanks to your experiences of darkness and know that they have been a very valuable tool in culminating inner wisdom for the expansion of your light."

My message for you today is this:
I am currently reading the book 'I Can See Clearly Now' by Wayne Dyer.  Wayne was to be one of the keynote speakers at the Celebrate Your Life conference I will be attending this upcoming weekend in Phoenix.  Wayne passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully, in his sleep at his home in Maui on the night of a Super Full Moon---August 29th/15, at the age of 75 years.  Rather than replace him on the speaker's agenda, it has been decided that the other keynote speakers will pay tribute to Wayne Dyers teachings over the past 40 years...which is the most fitting means of paying tribute to him, as he saw himself as a teacher about all else. 
I bring this up because one of the themes within his book 'I Can See Clearly Now' (which is being touted as his memoir of sorts) is that the pivotal and life changing experiences which absolutely charted the course of Wayne's successful, meaningful and impactful life as an author and speaker addressing self-development were moments of 'darkness', as Velva Dawn has defined it in her message above.  That is to say that Wayne held an understanding that ALL of the experiences in his life (including spending a number of years in the foster care system as a child) SERVED him and directed him in becoming exactly who he was meant to be as a beacon of Light. In this book he actually explains how specific incidents in his life experience acted as a navigational system which he believed to be Divinely orchestrated on his behalf---yes, even the 'negative' ones!
Frankly, as I was typing Velva Dawn's message for Eos, I was reluctant to share with you what seemed to me to be a 'negative' message---I do not believe in dwelling in the past and old hurts at the cost of embracing the present moment and the potential and possibility that it holds.  I am all about self-empowerment, rather than residing in victimhood.  Yet, I DO understand how 'old hurts' impact our view of the world and how we experience it. Therefore, when I reached the point in Velva Dawn's message where she stated 'We need duality to learn the connection of love and oneness', I understood better the message that she was conveying.  That is what 'brought to mind' what I needed to share with you regarding Wayne Dyer and how he chose in his lifetime to encapsulate the LEARNINGS within the 'dark experiences' that inevitably occur in someway in any person's time here on Earth.  We are here to experience the duality that this Earth walk offers to us---otherwise we would not have agreed to be here.  You cannot know light if you have not experienced dark.
You cannot fully appreciate joy if you haven't experienced pain.  
We ARE indeed in a time of pivotal change and opportunity spiritually, here on the Earth at this time.  You chose to be here because your Soul recognized this.  Today's message is reminding you of that.  Understand that ALL of your life experiences have served to make you who you are---step out of any self-judgment regarding this.  Allow the energy of the sunrise and the goddess Eos to assist you in taking on a stance of self-empowered appreciation of ALL that you are!  (Isn't it beautifully synchronistic how the sunrises and sunsets have been particularly spectacular of late?  I have seen amazing photos taken and shared on Facebook by friends who are not professional photographers, but who have captured gorgeous sunrise/sunset moments!)
Blessed be...
