Yet again, Cups predominate in one of our Weekend Tarot Readings; it seems the flow of things is about heart — our feelings. Yet today there is a stabilising quality to the reading in the form of the Three of Disks; feelings that are based in, and then emanate from, the solid core of consciousness that can only reside within.
If you’re a regular reader of Planet Waves, you will hear this idea time and again: so much of this world asks us to base our feelings and our sense of self-worth (our feelings about ourselves) on what goes on outside and around us. Time and again we are reminded here that it is only the ‘self’ that can give us worth.
The reason for this repetition is that excavating our idea of who we are is a process that is repetitive by nature. Like soil that is weed-bound, in order to ready it for harvest we need to dig it over more than once, to find what we missed, ensuring that we have created the groundwork for something that will bear good fruit. There is a deeply seated belief that runs through our group consciousness that tells us that we need to find stability from our relationships, from our jobs, from our possessions. This requires some digging.
Even those of you who feel liberated from this belief might do well to stay with it and dig some more: the truth, and what we tell ourselves is the truth, can be two different creatures entirely.
When you say that you don’t need anything or anyone in order to feel complete and content, are you speaking from the heart, or simply paying your heart lip service?
