What can wound an inner child? A dashing of hope. A placement of limitations. A sense of separation and abandonment.
We are perfect. We are born knowing what the world should be. We are intimately aware of oneness. It is though, the harsh realities of life on earth, of having the indignities of the ego thrust upon us from those in our life that we lose sight of these things. These things are not fully gone, they are simply covered over by blankets that hide the truth, the light. Over time, this light is hidden, but on a deeper not forgotten. This light still shines; however muted it may be by all these layers.
Over time, we begin to question the life of the ego that we are embroiled in. We begin to examine these blankets and question their validity. One by one, we begin to remove these layers, peeling them away, one and then the next and next until we uncover that light of truth of who we are.
When we are born, we are still very aware of our team of divine helpers and the fact that we have a mission and a purpose on the earth. Because we know it, we assume that those in our life know it too. It confuses us that they do not act as though they know it. They seem to act in ways that are counterproductive to achieving their purpose. They ignore the help and guidance offered by the divine helpers. This is confusing. These people are our caregivers. They must know best. They must know the truth. Because we rely on them so heavily, they must know the truth, know what’s best. Their thoughts and ideas become our own. We are now enculturated. We are now a part of this society.
Slowly our awareness of the divine truth of ourselves gives way to the projections of society. Now we are what society needs us to be and what it expects of us. Now the burden of rediscovering our truth is on us. But is it a burden? The peeling away of these blankets to get back to that core light can be both thrilling and exciting, can it not be?
The process of discovering, the process of stumbling upon answers and then figuring out the question that fits it can be thrilling. What do we learn of ourselves and of society if we do not go through this process of discovery? This is what it means to incarnate and be present on the earth. In this way, we achieve balance. We achieve balance between our divine self and our earthly self. What we learn on the earth becomes our soul. This soul, and its knowledge and wisdom contributes to the knowingness of all beings of the universe. This is The Silence. This creates a universal strength. In the reality of oneness, the wisdom of one is the wisdom and strength of all.
Knowings From The Silence: Anger is one example of what the mind does to assume control of the system.
In the heart, the capacity for forgiveness and oneness dwells. This is the desire of the heart- to forgive. But the mind perceives wrongness. The mind has a need of status quo and a balance where the self is the center. The heart has no concern for such things.
Anger and other such negativity pollute the system. It sends a black cloud that covers the shine of the heart. We must teach the mind to let go. Examine what is creating the anger, find the lesson it has to teach- often it is an old wound that never fully healed. Use this anger as a window. Look into yourself though it. Look in as far as you can go. Follow it back to where it begins.
Follow the shadow back to the light. The more people do this, the more people will awaken to enlightenment. Master your anger. Don’t be a tool of it. The ego loves anger. It gives it leverage. Anger gives the ego the fuel it needs to perpetrate its domination goals. The ego wants to dominate. The “I. ”The “I” is so important. This is the mind.
The heart is “we.” The heart wants to open to the oneness of all beings, and as such cannot exist without oneness. Anger though, blocks oneness. Anger creates a strong sense of “I” and “me” and “them” and “those people.” Now there is opposition. With opposition comes a sense of attack. Attack creates anger.
Master anger and you are that much closer to living an enlightened life.
The Empress Tarot Card: What Impression Do You Make?

You actions really do plant themselves like seeds in the consciousness of others. How do you want to be thought of?

There are always going to be those moments in life when we just don’t have all the details yet, so things are hazy. But these are just moments.

It won’t take long for full understanding to emerge. This is the message of the Moon card today.

Whose voice do you have the most respect for?
Be careful today. Be careful of those you are dealing with. There could be deception and insincerity in the air. Do you get a vibe from somebody that they are lying to you?

It is warning you to take a step back from this person. Take a step back, or may be even run like hell in the other direction. Something isn’t on the up and up here. this person doesn’t care about you. They only care about what they can get from you. Don’t let yourself be treated this way. Take precautions and make sure you are protected. This is the message today from the 7 of swords tarot card.
