Catalog for August, 2009

Design Issues

Category: Announcements

Voyager fans,

There’s been some weirdness with the latest version of Explorer that have suddenly made the Voyager websites display images twice! and some functions not work.   I have been working on the coding line by line for some time to fix these elements and I think I have it beat!

So, today and tomorrow, you’ll see a bit ‘o’ whackiness with the colors and images while I try to re-build the customization.

On another note, many of you have been concerned with the Way of the Seer and Way of the Seeker online courses … well, they were built the same way as Voyager and I had to pause completing those until the site templates were fixed.  If my changes today work fine I will be able to implement them across the board and get back to making those courses work 100% – I also decided at the last minute to making accessing the course much simpler!

In other news, I have been trying to get the new Voyager iPhone application completed … soon you will be able to have the Voyager Card-A-Day on your iPhone!

Sincerely, The Web Guy

ON THE TAROT TRAIL TO CHINA

Last day in Hong Kong. A couple of Readings. Taxi to the great airport. China Airlines thru Taiwan. Gain a day!!!

The weekend class with InVision was wonderful!  Why? Because the students were so enthusiastic and open.

They know each other from other personal growth classes so loved sharing their cards. Energy, laughter, insight!

True “inner tainment” or “edu tainment.” Learning happens best under conditions of playfulness – my specialty.

They loved the Hero’s Journey Reading. Will have a new Facebook Group (have 3 Hong Kong groups now).

I really, really do like working here!  The participants are quick, social, creative, youthful.

Heart of Eostre, my host center, is now the VOYAGER TAROT ASIA CENTER.  Wow!

Am looking into the “China price” for getting the Green Wisdom Cards printed.  108 cards, maybe 2,000 decks.

I just cannot wait for any publishers to say whether they want to do the cards or not.  But do I have the $$$???

Any investors out there?

Funny thing that my legs have been aching for a week. Today am leaving and have no aches. Hmmmm…Stress?

The work has not been that stressful. Curious.  Pick Card for this…. SURFER!

Perhaps doing workshop I have to be on and constrained for hours and hours. Can’t cut loose. Not surfer free.

The most difficult thing working with a translator is when I get tired and impatient with the translation.

Interesting that when I’m tired, am least able to take time for the translation.  That seems strange. Y not just rest?

Pick Green Wisdom Card for this…PARENT card. Foreign language workshops require more care, concentration.

Just get more tired in general working internationally.  Everything is just more of a push leading to more fatigue.

Focused yesterday, tho, on cards like Universe, Death, Time-Space, where “less is more.” Create by cutting away.

How could I apply that to my work here?  Maybe not try to so hard to be “good?”  Try hard… what does that mean?

Need to be more of a Surfer here, easy does it, more spontaneous, impulsive, playful… no self-judgment.

It’s great to be surfer loose when working.  My new mantra… “surf, it’s easy.”

Flight home today, no cares, no worries. But don’t lose the cash. That almost happened once working in Amsterdam.

How could that happen?

ON THE TAROT TRAIL IN CHINA

Today, I begin a 2-day “Intuition and Tarot” Workshop with  “InVision.” It’s a personal growth organization

There will be around 50 participants.  I have saved my best clothes for this event.

I will talk generally about the what, why, and how of intuition and tarot. But it’s really a hands-on experience.

They will each have a small-version Voyager Tarot.  But to effectively introduce Voyager in a short time… yikes!

My intuitive impulse is to ask questions of interest to them all, like your professional path, personal power, lovelife.

Will use the big, big laminated copies of Voyager that one person in the group chooses for answering the question.

Each can then see this card from their own deck (they will have the cards in original order, so to find cards easily).

I will give them some general meanings of the card and then they will have to intuitively personalize its meaning.

After lunch, get them into knowing their “Life Cards” that are in the Major Archetypes.

This has turned out to be a very smart group.  Most under 30.  I remember in the 60′s, nobody over 30 was trusted!

Who are they? BALANCE Card. How to advance in work?  BREAKTHROUGH. Lovelife?  FULFILLMENT. Beautiful.

Am going to the famous Peninsula Hotel here in Hong Kong, Kowloon side. Classic, air-conditioned, foreigners.

Walking in Hong Kong is like one big shopping spree!!!! Stuff and more stuff.  What do I buy?

I break down, surrender to the power of shopping therapy… lots of green bags for green cards.

Bought mandarin style coat. I have 6 of these. And some bling rings (glass, of course) that open into tiny clock.

Got the “China Price” for all this.  Brain neuroscience says we make buy decisions in one quadrillionth of a second!!

I don’t waste time shopping.  Go in balanced way.  See something of interest.  Buy.  Be happy.  Move on.

Got an email from Linda Woods who has helped me post my 50 plus Intuition Into Action podcasts (iTunes store).

She tells me go to Kunaki.com for reproducing and packaging these programs into Digital CD’s!!!

ON THE TAROT TRAIL IN CHINA

Remember, Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China.  Hong Kong is not China!

But I love this adage…. “Never let the facts get in the way of a great story.”

Woke up feeling lousy after a nite of dining and wining at Kai Sung (not Saigon) on the waterfront.

The dinner was raucous. We picked cards, even the 2 men who never pick cards. They came with their wives.

Both guys selected the same card… BALANCE!  Both are definitely in touch with their yin, feminine side.

Had an early morning Reading with a German woman who has worked and lived in Hong Kong for some time.

She might be laid off workwise here, and said that maybe New Zealand was her new home… she cried.

It was a cry of the soul, a deep, deep longing for this new spiritual home for her. Ah, the TOWER works its truth.

The best thing about doing my “Greening Yourself” work is that it’s not really work!  I follow the impulse.

Following the energy, we read each other’s animal spirit, color aura, did the 5-card “Nature of You” Reading.

What’s that?  My Green Wisdom Cards have 5 suits of Elements, Minerals, Plants, Animals, Humans.

Pick one card from each of these suits to get Mother Nature’s take on you.

Had a most amazing synchronicity!  With the tarot, we call it “intentional synchronicity.” We expect it, but still….

Winnie was in the 3-day Coaching Certification and it was catalytic for developing her own dancing style and school.

Known as “Little Fish,” she has been an award winning ballroom and salsa dance performer!

Today, in the Green Wisdom workshop, the first card she picked features a dead little fish. I kid you not!!!

In the Coaching class she identified with the whale in the Voyager Emperor card. I called her “Whale Woman.”

Today, after the dead fish card, she picked in the Green Cards the WHALE card!!!!! Ridiculously specific!

In our aura readings, she was read to be every color in the rainbow! Her final card in the Coaching Class… Rainbow!!

After the Greening Yourself day-long, it was time for me to be HERMIT! Green Man say “become winter to be spring.”

ON THE TAROT TRAIL IN CHINA (Aug. 12)

Category: Voyager Tarot

It’s raining today in Hong Kong. It’s a tropical place so nice and warm. Finish up the last day of Tarot Coaching Cert.

Focus on these “action readings” today… Card A Day; Grow Your StarTree;  Solitaro: The Work Game.

And Archetypal “Emperor” Work and Financial Reading (this is a reading based on all symbols in Emperor card).

All the student-coaches have a work/professional goal so we focus on those kinds of Readings.

I have experienced that most people will not do Relationship goals and issues in public.

Yesterday was the first time I’ve ever had students have difficulty with the “Magician’s Ritual” Meditation.

It might be because they are honest in their feedback. Maybe because the word, Magician, implies trickery.

Our power as a Magician is the use of our imagination!  Many people don’t respect and believe in it.

Magic, Magician, Image, Imagination are related by same Indo-European root word, “mag,” which means power!

Power to manifest. Power to make it happen.  Power to be you.  Power to read this… all because of your imagination.

Tonite, a big dinner for my former students here at a French restaurant called “Saigon.”

Y did the US ever go to make Vietnam war?  We could have just gone there to eat great food and surf Da Nang.

I still can’t get on my professional Facebook page!  Do I need this site?????? Please tell me why?

My Coaching commitment to coach myself for the success of the Greening You book is to do a YouTube or Podcast.

Which do you prefer… me podcasting or youtubing….or nothing???? or both simultaneously?? Help.

My 8:30 am client for Reading did not show up!  Ouch… wet, sleepy, upset.  But stay Open, Positive, Opportunistic.

So, got a great massage while waiting for the phantom, no show client!  Better than me doing a Reading.

Having comfort food for lunch. No exotic unknown stuff.
Guess my comfort zone for lunch?Winner wins something.

STARTREE Reading this morning showed an amazing pattern for coaching ourselves to success.
The cards..INVENTOR, DEVIL’S PLAY, ILLUMINATION!  Get outside the box, have fun, be creative… “edutain”

Just got the news… my hi school buddy, Otha Young of Juice Newton band, died of brain cancer.

Is that what age 66 does for you… take you away on the famed route 66 of yesteryear!?

Just got this email.. George Carlin’s Views on Aging… “There is No Return Ticket”

“So, you become 21, turn 30, push 40, reach 50, make it to 60, hit 70. After that, you hit Wednesday!” –G. Carlin

Whew. It’s Thursday.

Short reprieve….what should I do tonite in Hong Kong before it’s Wednesday again?????
