I like to play the computer game of “Call To Atlantis”. When you have earned the crystals to restore Atlantis you learn the powers of the “Gods” of each land. Why was I drawn to these secrets and how could they apply to my life?

Power is based on a choice; accumulate choices, accumulate your “inner” powers.

What powers have we earned from our life’s understandings or have we repeated and repeated the “lessons” and still haven’t figured out the qualities that we could have learned from the experience?

The rhythm of choices can build the power we need (like powering up the wheel in the game) to keep making new choices in our life; to grow - to enhance our quality of life - to create the joy we all long for.

Choosing to pay attention to the things around us in our daily lives brings us the power of being in the now. To me, noticing the sound of a bird singing can bring a lightness to my heart. That moment of happiness of watching my cat get all wound-up, acting silly, jumping and climbing all over things is enjoying being in the now.

What if? My mind often runs around in the - What if? - game. What if we already have the power of the “Gods”. Except it’s not from the gods; it’s learned from our inner self, our souls.

“Mars” had the Power of Will - the ability to overcome any obstacle. The power to make a choice can work on our “obstacles”. Even if it isn’t the best choice it’s a choice. Then we can always make another choice when we know more.

“Apollo” had the Power of the Earth - the ability to create. Everyone has the ability to create every day, to develop new ideas. The great thing about creating something is that you can allow it to change as needed, as you go along and receive new info, letting it grow.

“Aphrodite” had the Power of Air - the ability to unveil the hidden secrets. We can learn to uncover the secrets of life, to use our mental abilities to study the universe, the people and things around us. But most importantly, to study our own self. We can use some alone time to explore our own inner being. Once we are on our way to figuring out ourselves the rest of the world will start making sense.

“El” had the Power of the Sun - to radiate. We can radiate our light or energy. We can share whatever it is that we alone can create: music we can play or sing, art we create, our poetry or stories, food we bake, our ability to paint or decorate a room, installing/repairing household items, or having the ability to just really listen when someone needs to talk. Become the Sunshine radiating -- share!

“Semiramis” had the Power of Water - to bring people together. The Power of Water is the Power of our emotions. We can either let them drown us or we can acknowledge them, understand them and let them work for us, not against us.

“Amon” had the Power of Gold - to never be misled by deceitful words or glittering false promises of gold. We can learn to know our own truth and allow that truth to be flexible - “This is my truth now but if I learn more I can change that truth and let it grow”.

“Queen Dido” had the Power of Fire - the ability to put light in people’s hearts and make them confident in their future and abilities. Fire can destroy but also makes way for the new. We can be like the ancient City of Troy and rise up from the ashes. If we have a belief in ourselves it will inspire others. The Age of Aquarius is all about “group”; not just one but the whole will create and thrive.

How could your life at this time relate to a story of the powers of the ancient gods?

We often want to know what our purpose or path is; it isn’t a road laid ahead of us because we make small steps and choices as we go creating the path we are on. So we only can “see our path” when we turn around and look at the choices we made to get where we are at today.

So continue to choose - choose - choose, because a small choice builds your life now and the Power is always being in the now.
