- SUMMER – RELAX – Just when we get all fired up we draw THIS card! I know autumn actually is approaching (going to be 60 degrees today) but how can we ever relax at the beginning of a venture? Just when weare figuring out our strength and laying out our weaponry?
YOU HAVE INNER RESOURCES – DreamTarot’s “Summer” card reminds us, don’t neglect subconscious resources. FOCUS your power by closing your eyes and – relax all your muscles. Breathe deeply, then shallowly, then barely. Afraid you might fall asleep? So much the better – we need those dreams to be our guide. Try to dream of endless summer, the beach, umbrellas, ocean, sand, floating. You know that you are longing for a “getaway” — from what? –and the most refreshing vacation is to disappear inside yourself. Let’s learn to “see with that Third Eye –the Wisdom Eye”. Like every effort, it takes not just focus but practice.
CHALLENGE – ask yourself, Who’s in here with me? The mystic answer is: Everyone. Inside yourself lie gathered the messages that have been flooding in – scarily sometimes – time to lay them all out in some imaginative order. Silence the clamor and urge the voices to speak one by one. Everyone you have ever known, everyone you have ever loved, is there. If that’s a tough concept – and I know it’s making you gulp – here’s one that’s even tougher – everyone you ever WILL know is in there too. You can learn to reach forwards as well as back. No, it doesn’t come immediately. But the exciting news is – you have all the time in the world.
DANGER – Of course you fear you will lose yourself. You even fear that you have no self to lose. We are young at this, fresh, naïve and simple. A beginner. Accept that power. It is a wonderful thing when the baby first begins to see. But what about Evil? Isn’t that a thing? If I have Everything inside, then don’t I have Evil, too? And the mystic answer is Yes. But it can’t hurt you if you don the armor. The armor is Love, and you already know as much about that as you need to know. No, it isn’t strong enough yet, but you can strengthen it by Will. We will educate your will.
OPPORTUNITY – You realize now you are making a choice. It seemed so complicated at first but it really comes down to that one thing – we all must choose between Evil or Love. Evil promises it will“get the job done”, it will offer “special” unique opportunities, single you out for goodies, bring you hostages and slaves. But here’s the Fact about Evil – it breaks all its promises because IT BREAKS YOU. Love promises only Love, and that takes effort. It takes discernment, knowledge, commitment and growth. Love asks you to enter a process. Evil says you can just “take”, lie inert and be showered with benefits. One choice makes you beautiful, an athlete of the Soul, the other renders you hideously ugly, a blot that sucks in light and depresses all who look at it. Hard to decide? not really! Will you make mistakes? Inevitably. Frightened yet? Relax! And SEE.
