Today was one of those days. Not a bad day, just a not much will happen today, kind of day. At least that’s how I felt when the day began, but I’ve surprised myself with how productive I actually was today. It’s late, but Mr. Moon will still be channeled tonight as he is on all other Mondays.
Each day of the week is associated with a different planet. Friday is associated with Venus, Wednesday with Mercury, Sunday – you guessed it! – the Sun, and Monday is associated with the Moon.
Let’s go!
Tonight I am lighting a black candle in honour of the new moon about to grace us with his/her presence. As I focus on the candle flame I call out to the Intelligence of the Moon for his guidance.
“I call out to the dark ether, to the Intelligence of the Moon, and ask that he enter my sacred space, passing his wisdom through me as his direct channel.
Malcha be-Tarshishim ve-ad Ruachoth Shechalim

‘What do you want?’ he says, grumpy as usual 😆 I doubt the moon actually has an attitude, or maybe it does. But this is the way he comes through for me – with an attitude! I love it though. That’s just my dark humour I guess.
Tonight he comes to me looking like a black robed figure without a face.
I’m asking him to expand on his initial message to us, the one where he said that humans react to everything, and we add shit to the perfectly wonderful cake that is Earth, rather than sprinkles. Because we react to shit which just adds more of it!
Tonight I’m asking him to explain ‘how’ to stop reacting. Not just the what, but the how to do that what. It’s easy enough to say ‘don’t react’, but doing is harder than saying if you ask me.
So Mr. Moon, that is your question for tonight: How do we stop reacting to negativity?
“Alright little human… Clearly you need help.” (Okay… this has me laughing out loud!)
“You may not like my attitude, or maybe you do… You are an odd one. But whether you like it or not my attitude doesn’t change. I never fluctuate. It is habitual, a skill I have gained over time. Being attitudinous takes skill.
What I’m trying to say is… this isn’t a quick fix. You don’t suddenly become miraculously neutral about negativity over night. It is through continued practice that you achieve stillness that cannot move. When you truly acquire stillness you will know because it is fixed. Real stillness doesn’t wait for the right opportunity. It is an inner state that has nothing to do with the outer Earth realm around you, or any other realm for that matter.
But it requires practice to achieve. It is not something gained instantaneously, which brings me to another annoying thing about the human race. You all seem to generally love instant gratification! But instant gratification instantly leaves you at some point. Instant gratification is not built on a solid foundation meant to last. It has no real structure; it is here one minute and gone the next.
When you crave and chase instant gratification, and are not willing to be long suffering, you devolve your minds. Degeneration happens when your mind cannot let go of the need to have an external false high all the time. It sees a shiny prize which it gets fixated on. But once the shiny prize is obtained the joy goes down because it was never a true joy to begin with.
It is better to sit with your unhappy or negative emotions. Stop trying to push them away because then they will never resolve, and if you don’t give your emotions space to teach you or speak to you, they only become louder and out of control.
You lack control of your emotions! They rule your life by going up and down like a yo-yo on a string, and yet you aren’t the one holding it. Circumstances are holding the string for you. You have no control of your inner state, but simply go up and down vibrationally and emotionally depending on how the string moves you.
You have learned to define learning curves and trial and error as negatives because you want instant success. You don’t value patience as a species or allow yourself the room to grow, to evolve into more by staying where you are at, even momentarily. It is okay to be human, that’s the reason you are here. You don’t need to prove your worthiness by chasing these false highs, and avoiding even momentary lows. It seems like you would do anything to avoid lows at times, and yet that is the reason they constantly appear for you.
You are learning from the lows, and so you need them. They will only get louder the more you don’t listen to them because they have a purpose. Negativity has a purpose. It is there to teach you.
When you sit with negativity, you grow. But when you avoid negativity, want to ignore negativity, push negativity down or don’t give it voice, it festers and comes out in any direction or way it can.
So what you need to realize is that neutrality comes from the acceptance of negativity. And the acceptance of negativity doesn’t come from avoidance. It comes from sitting with uncomfortable feelings, sitting with uncomfortable thoughts, sitting with the highs and lows equally, and not reacting to either of them, but instead reflecting.
As you accept all, do not judge any, then you acquire a true stillness that cannot be shaken. That happens over time, with trust, and with practice.”
That is the end of this message. I hope you will tune in again with me next Monday for another message with Mr. Moon.
