1. THE EYE – YOU

The meaning of today’s card: Jung tells us that in your dream, you are everyone. if you dream of an Eye, or you have chosen the Ego card to start your day. Let’s unpack.

YOU ARE A SEEKER – You are self-defining. You are on a quest. You wish to experience to the full the nature of having a self. You are becoming alert to the possibilities inherent in this particular incarnation and you wish to explore them.

DANGERS : The danger of solipsism is that in turning our eyes inward we miss important signals coming from other people and the world around us. Yet “retreating inward” is a vital path to self-knowledge and growth.

CHALLENGE -The solution to this challenge is to set a Spirituality Schedule to reflect our needs and interests. Appoint time to be absolutely alone, for meditation and reflection. If you cannot find a room to yourself, a closet will do. You can sit in the meditation position or assume any position that allows you to be comfortable enough to become physically forgetful. Concentrate first on building a life that allows both inner and outer growth. Surround yourself with people who respect this decision.

OPPORTUNITIES – This is a journey. Accept it. Begin a journal with 1. “I” and write down your meditation thoughts and desires. This can be a poem, a fantasy, a checklist – whatever pattern occurs to you as supportive of your desires. Make a list of goals. Push shame away. This is about YOU. Of course as you evolve, your goals will evolve, and your journal will reflect that. When you have completed your Time Alone – ten minutes to an hour – whatever works for you – pat yourself on the back. What an achievement! You are started on a path of making changing Nightmares into Dreams and making dreams come true.

MANTRA:
“I am enough”
