Today I've found my way back again to my tarot
cards and I've drawn The Ten of Swords from the Original Rider Waite tarot.
This card is all about the defeat of the tyranny of our mind. This man has been
stabbed in the back with ten swords which are representing his thoughts.
Thoughts, he wasn't able to let go off: old rigid beliefs can cause unwillingness and
fear to change. Sometimes you cannot
solve a problem with your mental abilities. When you come to this realization
and you are willing to be more flexible you will see the sun rise in the East
shining its light over you: And then there is Silence. But after that you may
wonder, what do I have to change; how do I
approach life differently?
And then I pulled the Knight of Cups, who’s
dreams are his treasures.
He is coming along for the second time this month to
share his wisdom, which is plain and simple: follow your heart.
We do have to
be careful not to lose ourselves in the emotional and dreamy state of mind of
the Knight of Cups. Again some need for balance is advisable. Maybe he has a
sheathed sword on his left hand side??? We’ll never know. But I do hope he is
brave enough to cross the river so we can move forward.
“Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as
your own unguarded thoughts.” Buddha
I think there is a big distinction between following your emotions and following your heart. Usually if I follow my feelings, what I do is more or less a reaction to something. But following my heart comes from a deeper place I think. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen you follow your heart you will be more inclined to respond than to react.I find it often very difficult to reach down so deep I can find my hearts desire. Maybe I am afraid for what I will find.
DeleteYes I agree feelings are just that, not right or wrong. When I trust my heart I am trusting my intuition and that still quiet voice that will give discernment and wisdom. The more I trust, the more trust I gain, and I find my way along the path.

DeleteIt is all about Trust today, my friend. :D
I just got through reading today's post and then came to this one. Looks like you pulled those ten swords out and then decided to carry them with you as wands. Something to think about there. If they were weighing you down, why continue to carry them. Best of luck sorting through your swords of life. :) Have a great week.
