AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

These days I am letting too much of clutter affect me in terms of persons, their behaviour and thoughts, my feelings and thoughts – all that hardly have any importance. What should I do😯?

Yes these things have very little importance. It is the great malady that we often give too much importance to things that have little or no importance and too little value to things that really matter.

What people think or do not think about us has very little importance. In any case someone else’s opinion and behaviour is not in our hands. It is only ourselves and our thoughts, our motives and actions, our will and feelings, our hopes and aspirations that are given to us as material to work upon. The only person we can strive to change is ourselves and, fortunately not only nobody can stand in the way of our striving to change, everything, every event and situation and circumstance can become an opportunity to learn and change and grow.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Seeing her vulnerability, I picked her up, gently petted her, and brought her back inside the house. Could you please tell me what this dream might mean? 🐈‍⬛🌙

Black cat means occult forces or occult powers that may be developing in you. The ants represent the lower vital energies from which you should safeguard them.
