This is the second post your Astral Monk is writing. It is now 4:30 AM on Saturday, June 7, 2012.

Your Astral friend wishes you a very consoling day filled with tiny blessings like little sparkles along your footpath, little things that you may not pay attention, but are not just coincidences. They are part o the divine plan for you.

What's making me excited enough to spend the middle of the night at the computer?

Well, on June 6, I did not notice it, but the person who is the "buyer" of my little educational devices send a request for my demographics, bank account number, etc. so she could order more of my products. I had given up on the business because I lost the buyer who was my on-lime friend for about 12 years. I got no word from the company for over a year, and was planning to find new ways to increase my income and spread my vision of reformed Science Education using my recent book and my newest educational product.

Anyway, it looks like my business is going to rise from the dead!

Don't worry, though, I'm still going to continue and develop my AstralMonk vocation, for it is truly a call from God leading me to rejoin the ranks of Spiritual Counselors.

What is that? Well, many of us have suffered a whole lot from misapplied "religious" rules, commands, expectations, exhortations, demands and assumptions that actually conflict with our own unique personal soul identity. Not every foot can squeeze into one size shoe, and often one's religion is like an ill-fitting shoe, maybe too loose, but more often too tight. You find yourself in pain with every step you take, spiritually, and unless someone is there to help you discern (figure out) what is bothering you, you may spend years, even your whole life thinking you are not a "good person" because you are in pain due to the religion that you're in. I'm like the guy in the shoe store who wants to fit you into a comfortable, healthy, nice shoe. Except I try to fit you into a good fit with your soul's relation to the Higher Power. Maybe you belong to this or that very strict religion, and think there's something wrong with you.

Generally, there are some strong family ties, or maybe social ties, that bind you. You are not comfortable but fear that if you abandon the ways of your family (usually in regard to religion, business, loyalty to traditions, and other constraints) you will be rejected as a "bad person."

My job is to console you, reassure you, and comfort you. I look at people I really admire, like Jesus, or my patron saint, Peter (the apostle), or the Lord Buddha, who is the enlightened one of millions, even billions of people, or other wise and pure souls, and I try to see how their teaching and actions apply to your suffering. Love is everything, my friend. If something is mean, cruel, hateful, vengeful, bickering, faultfinding, or fearful, I look at that as unloving, and therefore not from Above.

I'm finished with this little posting. I hope it gives you some idea of my mission as the Revered Brother James P Louviere, the Astral Monk, your spiritual counselor.
