Get through your fears to the other side
The Devil tarot card tells you, you are never fully actualized until you face your fears and see what they are made of. This is one of the things that the devil tarot card reminds of. What exactly is fear? Fear is the imagined actualization of the worst possible outcome of any given situation. To overcome a fear, we must get to the other side of it. But to do this, we first must face it.
Sure, it is easier to stay on this side of the fear, for on this side, we know where we stand. On this side, we can keep a safe distance. But how is this an advantage to us? Where is the growth? How do we become strong this way? To gain power in our life, we must face these fears head on and get to the other side of them.
Facing your fears can be like a train of falling dominoes. Face one, and the others fall in succession. Facing your fears can also become an addiction. When you take note of the power you gain, you may want more so you go on to the next fear to face. And the next. And so on.
Like many other things, facing your fears is simply a matter of following a shadow to the light. What is casting this shadow of fear? Imagine facing a fear as opening a door and entering a room. At the other end of this room is another door. This is your objective- to get to that other door. Standing in the middle of this room is a giant demon. This demon is your fear. You can’t get to the other door without getting by this demon. So what do you do?
Do you rush by it, hoping it’s too slow to get you? Do you stand up to it and slay it? Do you reason with it? Do you walk slowly by hoping it won’t notice you? Whatever choice you make here, just know that even if you have not completely killed the demon, you have diminished it. It will never be as powerful a force as it was. To face it again will not be as much of a challenge.
When faced with a fear, keep these things. Meditate on the devil card of tarot, and imagine the devil as your greatest fear. Kill the devil, and you kill the fear. Get past the devil, and you get past your fear. Defeating your fears has the advantage of proving to yourself that you have power. Now that you know you have this power, what can’t you do? Use this power to shape the world into what you want it to be. No devil, no demon, no fear can ever stop you unless you let it.
