Select a box, receive a reading

[Midwinter Mist]

After creating the two games in which members choose boxes and win comical prizes, I decided it was time to take a more serious route. I don't give psychic readings, write horoscopes, access sacred records, predict major events or anything like that, but I'm going to provide some readings.

There are thirteen boxes. If any members feel drawn to any one of them, they can choose a single box, and a reading (pre-written and pre-attached to that box) will be provided.

In advance, though, I must again clarify that I do not usually provide readings or anything of its kind. What you receive from your chosen box should not be taken literally, but how you want to take it, and only if you feel that it's right for you. If you do not feel it is right, then just ignore it. I've written down the first thoughts that have entered my mind, but every single one of them could be wrong. On the other hand, they could be right for some people, but the wrong people chose them.

So, take it all as you will.

Here are the boxes.

1. This reading was claimed by nienie.
2. This reading was claimed by alphamind.
3. This reading was claimed by Angelique.
4. This reading was claimed by Melchior.
5. This reading was claimed by bluestar.
6. This reading was claimed by Lynn 007.
7. This reading was claimed by Kimberly0717.
8. This reading was claimed by rei.
9. This reading was claimed by tarajc.
10. This reading was claimed by Federer.
11. This reading was claimed by Kaie.
12. This reading was claimed by supertom.
13. This reading was claimed by momo3bur.

All boxes and their readings have now been claimed, but feel free to read through if you wish to do so. Perhaps you'll still find something that connects with you.

Ok, the reading for box 9 is as follows:

Get me out of here! It’s time to fly! The bird is ready to spread its wings and explore the vast world! There is a lust for freedom, and this person lusts nothing more than exploration and experience. They advocate trying new things and meeting new people. This person doesn’t believe in cages. They want to fly and they want to fly now. So be it - fly! It’ll be good for the change in their personality, and if nobody wants to fly with them, then they must fly solo. It’s daring, but it’s perfect for them, because along the way they will meet a new and perfect flock to fly with them. Nevermind the doubts, this person knows what is best for them, so provide the key and let this bird be free. It’s time for adventure.

Spot on actually. I've been bored to pieces lately. Need some fresh ideas and curiosities to explore before I go insane. Thanks for doing this- it's lovely really.

May I have number 13? This is a neat idea! Thanks.

The reading for box 13 is:

There is something about the following space of time - the 14th April to the 14th July. During this time, you should attempt to contact your guides. There is going to be a sudden change of activity within your life. You might feel that something is strange at first. Something will feel different, but the truth is that this has been long overdue. It’s not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing, but it’s a change that will adjust your thoughts, and you might not be sure what it means or where it’ll take you. However, your guides are aware of this and they are ready to do their job during this time. Listen extra carefully than usual, because this change involves more than just you, though you are at the heart of it.

Certainly. The reading for box 5 is:

Beauty. A best friend and a greatest nemesis. You’re beautiful, and you’re ugly, beautiful, and ugly. You’re great, and you’re worthless, great, and worthless. STOP! It’s either you or somebody close to you, swooping high and then swooping low between emotions. This person can see their own beauty when the world is on their side, but one complication has it all crashing down. This person needs to be told straight to just STOP! It cannot go on like this. Most people can see themselves as ugly, but how many of them can see themselves as beautiful? To be able to at any one moment in time says a lot about that person. Love is greater than hate. Truth is stronger than deceit. Negativity is all too easy, but its opposite speaks like thunder. This person knows their own quality and worth, so why forget it, simply because the world can sometimes be ugly? This person knows the world is beautiful, just like they know that they are, so it’s time for them to listen, and time for them to STOP swooping between the good and the bad of their emotions. They must look in the mirror and remember that it's ok. Everything is ok.

You have your own life to deal with and you don’t really want to hear what this person wants to tell you, but this is simply because it regards what hurts them the most. You hate to know that they’re in pain, but they need you. You know they’ll come through it, but they still need you. You see things a little differently to them. Your outlook in life is different to their outlook, but you know that it can be difficult to make wise decisions in difficult times. Not only that, but the fact they want your help actually proves that they respect you and your outlook. They know that you’re strong. They need you to help them, but it’s only for the right reasons, so be that person they need, reach back out, and help them through this troubling time. They won’t forget it.

Three again!

Thank you for my last gift, btw.

No problem. The reading for box 3 is:

Is it really true? Do you miss winter? Or is it that something came and went within that time and you wish for it to come back? When you take away the negative aspects around it, there’s a beauty that can be seen, and you’re not the only one who can see it. Take the initiative to bring it back if you want it back - why should specific time and occasions create a restraint? You can’t always see the stars, but they are still there. If you be the wind that shifts the clouds, you can once again see them sparkle. You do not need to worry about going back, because whatever you want can come at any time if you just become the wind.

Really interesting, that whole "either/or" thing (re: box no. 5) It seems a lot of people get this happen with their thinking.
"That politician is either a saviour or a communist"
"I either love you or definitely don't love you"
"You either get up early and work hard every day, or you're lazy"If I look at it carefully I can see a lot of thinking goes along similar lines.
What a load of old ****** actually.....life isn't like that is it?

As to whether that's my particular default way of thinking....well I have thought about things that way particularly in the past. I don't see things that way so much any more though.
Well interesting though. A reminder that reality isn't either/or.

Box 4.

There is gold armour shining vividly. You’re a proud person with a popping personality. Sometimes you wonder about those who attempt to bring you down. They misunderstand you, but in the end it makes no difference. You know who you are and what you’re doing, which is why you’re standing tall like a warrior. You don’t even need a sword, because your presence alone is striking. Your mere existence speaks for itself. Have you ever wondered about those people who cannot see it? It doesn’t matter! Look deeply into your own eyes, reflecting the majesty of your soul. You’re probably more triumphant than you realise, but you are a warrior, and every warrior has his/her battles. Just don’t let you or anybody else get to your head. Keep firm and stand your ground. Every battle has its eventual end, and you’re capable of succeeding in every one of them.

Ooh, I'd love to try out what's inside box #8

The reading for box 8:

I want you to know that you’re doing a good job, and nobody can tell you otherwise. Soon enough, you are going to be rewarded, and it’s likely to be within the next two - three months. You’ve been working hard. Sure, you’ve had your down moments like any other human being, but you’ve put in the time and efforts and it’s time for you to be rewarded. Are you noticing a change in the air? Have you noticed the increase in smiles? You’re doing the right thing, so keep up the great work and expect your reward soon.

What is in box 11??

The reading for box 11 is:

The colour blue is strong. It sparkles a little. It is deep like the ocean, but it is calm and cannot harm you. The only concern is yourself. Sometimes we have nothing to fear and cannot be harmed, but our fear still ignites and as such leads us to harm ourselves. You’re in a similar situation right now. You’re being overwhelmed by your curiosity and questions, but you’re confusing yourself in the process. You want to believe nothing is wrong, and you’d be right to believe that, but you just can’t shake the concern that something is in fact wrong. You’ll probably laugh about it in the end, and feel a little silly, but until you get there you must relax. Be patient. Truth exposes itself, as does a lie, and the truth will expose it here.

Thank you, it's amazing how much sense that makes to me

Thanks, though it wasn't all too difficult. I just listened to what my head was telling me and wrote it down. Right or wrong... it doesn't matter, though it's interesting to see that some have been able to draw something from their reading, however much or little it may be.

Actually, mine fits with what's going through my head tonight. Great advice for me.

The reading for box 10 is:

There is a pattern you keep noticing. At least, I trust you’ve been noticing it, because you’re smart and you pick up on things quickly. If somebody is hiding their true colours, you will sense it fast, but you do not like to expose them directly, instead preferring to use tactics to have them expose it themselves. You want them to show it, because that’s how it should be. The pattern keeps coming back to you. It links something from your near past to your future late this year. You’re not imagining it, and it’s something that will undoubtedly affect your future, whichever way it goes, so it’s best that you think carefully about how you want to clarify and deal with this pattern. Take a peak, and you’ll see it written all over their face.

Thanks for reading and i agree with your most points.

The reading for box 7:

You sure do like to put your body through turmoil, don’t you? You don’t have to starve yourself, you know. I know physical health is important and you’re always trying to help yourself mentally and spiritually, but you’re straining just a little bit. You’re pushing yourself just a bit too hard. Do you not notice it? Some of the damage is subtle, but it’s there. There’s a whole lot of hunger - hunger to advance - hunger to be more. There is also a hunger, deep inside, for rest. You’re hurting yourself, and in the long run that will only make you crash, so be careful. Give your body a break if that’s what it needs.
