Perfectionism- Is It Keeping Your Reality Conditional?

Is perfectionism keeping your reality conditional?target_perfectionism

Is perfectionism something you are always striving for? Or, is it your Achilles heel?

Do you tend to think that, “Once everything is perfect, then I can… (fill in the blank)?

I’ll admit, it’s something that I’ve struggled with.

Mine started as a very small child with a father who thought if one wasn’t perfect 100% of the time, they were worthless. Even as a 4-year-old, he’d set traps for me to show me how imperfect I was….

It has been one of my bugaboos for 50 some years.

Any of us with Virgo prominent in our birth charts (my Venus is in Virgo) have a perfection tendency in some area of our life.

So when our guides kept bringing up this topic (and the week they did, I also came across the article about the war against perfectionism Alicia Keys is doing), I paid attention.

The topic also came up in the session we did about the Orlando shooting, so I think it is worth expanding on.

Our Guides have been referring to it frequently because right now, my life is very out-of-sorts. I’ve been taken out of my comfort zone in many ways over the past few months. As well, Randi and I have been working diligently to get the website “perfect” and our schedules “perfect” and come up with a perfect routine, when in fact, we’ve been experiencing much chaos…which sets my teeth on edge!

As a coach and an entrepreneur, the topic of perfectionism comes up a lot.

We procrastinate because we think all has to be perfect before we are official.

One of my coaches taught that “imperfect action trumps non-action” because so many people put off things out of the feeling that all must be perfect to begin.

Whether it is school, our job, our relationships or our bodies, perfectionism can be the demise of way too many dreams and goals.

Below is a section from a session on the topic of perfection. The “ritual” mentioned is Randi’s usual way of getting ready to channel, with the lighting of candles from her altars honoring the four directions, above and below and her intention setting. She felt that she had to do this “getting ready” ritual in order to be able to channel. She needed things to be just so to feel that the channeling would happen as it should.

“We are wanting to remind all of you that your omniscience is as immediate as you perceive it to be. The rituals are excellent because they are focusing of energy; they are so excellent at setting an intention and honing in on a particular frequency from all frequencies that exist. So with Randi lighting the candle, she is preparing her energy to receive us, but what we would say to her is that it is not necessary. During a busy day, and wrangling the fans, and scratching her mosquito bites, and trying to get a session in before the baby starts crying or the parents get home, and allowing enough time for her treat of Game of Thrones… we would say in all of that, her ritual is just as immediate, in the sense that she take a deep breath and she do the next thing on her task list.

We are saying this as a general indication to everyone that your reality is what you perceive it to be, and if you always believe that the perfection of reality is only when you do a certain set of things, then you’re keeping your reality conditional. Whereas simply being in the now, and no matter how chaotic or wild or non-orderly that the now might appear to you…we would say to be in the now. Cherish the now for what it is and allow for the perfection of your reality to be happening always, rather than waiting for certain things to be in order and in place. For there is beauty, there is evolution, there is growth, there is poignancy IN THE NOW. Enjoy it; be in it. That is where eternally we are speaking to you from.

In understanding just how powerful our perceptions are, I’ve been able to shift a lot in my life. It works the same way in every single area of our life – no exceptions.

If you think that certain things have to be in place before you can achieve, receive, experience, feel, know or do…then THAT perception is the ONLY thing blocking you. You’ve placed a condition on your reality and experiences. YOU. Not your boss, lover, parents or circumstances. YOU. And then what follows is a conditional reality.

So, WHY do we do that?

 

Back to my father – one positive thing he did teach me was about the topic of “perfection” (ironically).

Here was his analogy: We tend to think that a perfect piece of chalk is right out of the box, all smooth, unused and tall. But, the perfect piece of chalk is the piece that has been used so much that it is hard to even hold. It is “perfect” because it is being used as it was intended. I like that analogy. I’ve been using that analogy when I feel out-of-sorts and that I want my “perfect” situation. I see how my situation is perfect because it is doing what it is meant to do.

A “perfect” piece of chalk has done NOTHING. NO writing on the board. No piles of white dust. Nothing for us to read.

The very used piece of chalk gave us something. Words, images, information. Yes, there are also piles of dust and we might be sneezing and need to clean up – (What a mess! So imperfect! ) – but we GOT something.

The point the guides keep making is that life is never a constant – it is always changing. We are creative beings and that creativity is what keeps us moving forward, trying new things, taking chaos and making it into something that works for us.

When we see a certain rung of the ladder we feel we must climb as that “perfect” place we need to get to, we are losing sight of our ability as creators. Once we are to that rung, we are different, life is different and we need a new rung to go for. Really, there is no “perfect” rung, because we are always changing and what we want is always changing.

That takes us back to the meaning of perfection as: doing what we/it is meant to do.

Again from our guides: There is much more evolution that comes from chaos, then comes from order, yes?

Yes.

  • Where and when in your life are you wishing for the perfect situation, the perfect person and the perfect conditions?
  • Where are you creating a conditional reality that isn’t helping you, but blocking you?
  • What if you saw something that doesn’t seem perfect as something that is meant to do what needs to be done?

The Four Of Spades – Focus on Your Foundation

Today’s blog post is about the Four of Spades. I’ve included excerpts from a session we did. (italicized below).

Within this new work that I am doing now with Randi (because of what she is channeling), I’ve been asking a lot about the cards and how they can continue to help us as we move into this new way of BEing.

When reading any post about a card, you can take the information and apply it to a card draw when you use the cards for personal divination, or if you have the card in your forecast or birth spread.

“So the Spades are about a focusing of energy, and are about lifestyle, but in this particular instance we as omniscience are so general, so vast, so broad… and that is what you all are coming to understand more and more in this Age of Omniscience – that reality is contingent on a focusing. Otherwise, all things exist at all times, but how does one experience any of that? It’s simply a matter of focus and that is what you all have chosen to do in coming into human lives as these personalities.”

We’ve been ensconced in a linear way of viewing life. We needed to have the construct of “time” in order to make sense of things and to move forward.  Even Albert Einstein taught that time doesn’t exist. albert-einstein-marketingland-600x179

Everything exists at the same time.

What we do when we chose a life, experience, place, journey, personality, purpose, etc., is we focus our energy on a specific thing.

“So the four of spades is about that repeated stabilization of focus in the sense that four tends to be stability, four does tend to be equanimity, or that notion of a square; that notion of a foundational shape which one can build things on.”

The Four of Spades represents our main block of focus on that which sets up the foundation for the life/work/health we desire to have.

fourofspades_foundation

In a birth spread or forecast, when a Four of Spades shows up, it indicates that we will be satisfied and content with our work and health. It is somewhat neutral – a middle of the road- where we feel good and comfy with life. 

But, let’s take this a step further-

The Four of Spades is saying: “Hone in your focus, set up your foundation, feel yourself supported by Source.”

Your dedication to building a foundation is supported by your omniscience, by the dedication to your passion. You create a routine, a structure to build upon and a focused frequency for your goal.

The Four of Spades sits at Jupiter & Venus – two very prosperous planets.

You can’t manifest your desires if you constantly change your mind and don’t stay focused long enough to allow your energy to take form. The creative 3 energy needs somewhere to focus, something to hone in on and take root.

If you have a desire or  idea, and you keep it in the back of your mind and all you do with it is think:

…it can’t be done

…I’m not ready

…this is too hard

…I don’t have the money to do this…

then you are dissipating the energy of the idea, making it impossible before it can even become possible.

The Four of Spades is necessary in order for your idea/desire to take root and become a part of your life.

Your desire becomes a focus of that particular frequency.

Once your foundation and focus is set up, then along comes the next step – we move to the 5 energy. We need change to keep us moving forward.

The downside of the 4 is in getting stuck, complacent and living in our comfy little rut.

Once we feel secure and solid (4 energy) we can become stubborn and refuse to change, expand or grow. Or, we become so focused on maintaining that stability, that we won’t allow anything new to come into our lives – which would help us to expand and grow.

We need the non-stable energies in our lives so we can stop living in reaction mode.

Think about something in your life that happens and you feel as if it was done to you  and you react. Maybe it is a family member who hits your buttons, or something in your job that keeps throwing you off, or a behavior that keeps showing up in a relationship that annoys you.  Do you just continue to react, or do you stop and realize that it is YOUR choice and you can create a different situation?

Have you excepted these situations as your foundation? (Just how things are?) or do you use this focus that the Spades represents to choose an alternative way of being that is a happier, healthy foundation for you?

When you see the Spades suit symbol, see it as that point that you direct – the energy you have 100% control over. Where are you directing it? Are you creating the foundation for your dreams and goals?

We all love to be safe, secure and stable (well…except those who are fives!), but life isn’t meant to be constant. As it is said, the only constant is change.

“We want to introduce this concept of change, even with this four because that is what it is to be focusing in a frequency. It is taking it to a point, and just when you hone in on that point, it changes again. That is what it is to be outside of time.”

In the Age of Omniscience, we are learning to live outside the limitations of time. We are also understanding that with each thing we want and experience, it is merely a focusing of frequency.

In this Age of Omniscience, that is what soul growth is!

Do you fear or dislike change? Is there an area of your life where you feel shaky or unstable? If you have a dream or goal, do you build a stable foundation for it by directing your energy?

Why You Don’t Need To Have A Plan B

Plan_BWhen you want something, do you tend to have a Plan B, a just-in-case scenario, or do you get stuck in the land of What if…?

What if…it doesn’t work…

What if….I fail….

What if…my idea is stupid….

One of the main points we teach here at CTL is that we are all omniscient beings. We aren’t tossed about and controlled by outer forces or circumstances (unless that is what we are allowing). We direct the energy and our own power to those things we focus on and whatever is focused on most, manifests in our reality.

We are the directors and producers of our own show. If we stand by and refuse to direct, we allow others or past experiences to do it for us. (We create by default) we_are_directors

I just went through a situation where I felt out of control and I kept saying “I don’t know.” Intuitively though, I did know. But I thought that if I shared what I was getting intuitively, everyone would worry about me, think I was crazy or doubt me. And being the good little 6 of clubs that I am, I don’t like when people doubt me.

So, I let my fears conjure up a Plan B. It did soothe my scared ego and it was a plan I could tell my friends about. It sounded sane, doable and they could rest assured that I wasn’t going to become homeless.

But, here is how this really works:

When you get an intuitive hit about what you want to do and what is the best thing for you to do and it scares you or your ego says, what the fuck are you thinking?!?! – there are several things that can happen.

  1. You go with the intuitive hit – secretly. (this is what I did) You don’t want everyone thinking you’re crazy, so you don’t tell them what it is that you will really be doing. Sounds ok, right? The thing is, it weakens your energy. You, as the Director and Producer are handing your actors two scripts. You weaken their ability to fully embrace and play out the real script because they are also needing to learn the alternate script as well. Do you see how this weakens your manifesting power?

Your ego will freak out and it will want to hang onto the plan B if that makes it feel better, but when you allow your scared ego to run the ship, you miss out on an empowered, real and magical journey! What you are really after might take longer, or not happen at all because at some point, if enough energy is going to the plan B – it will be what manifests in your reality.

 

  1. You talk yourself out of what you intuitively know you can do/want to do. This is because it sounds too whacky and you are allowing your ego to fully call the shots. It can only base its decisions on what you already know and have lived (or know someone who has lived it). In other words, it can only say, this is possible if it has something to base the possibility on. It will NEVER feel that a risk or big goal is doable. It will NEVER jump up and down and be your biggest cheerleader if the idea takes it out of the status quo and comfort zone. If Plan B makes it feel safe and secure, it will be all in and that is what will materialize, leaving you to think, well, I guess the other idea wasn’t meant to be after all….

Is that how you really want to live your life? Most who do end up saying…I have many regrets…

The ego wants a linear step by step plan and for you to be safe the whole way through. If it can’t fathom the HOW, it will maneuver to make sure it follows the only HOW it knows. This limits you via lack of knowledge on a topic, or lack of experience or even a lack of support from others.

 

  1. You follow your intuitive hit fully with 100% focus. This is how we are to live. If you feel excited and this idea won’t leave you alone – it is the right idea. Why? Because you know, within your body and being when something is right for you. You feel it. You might be a bit nervous – anything new or different feels scary to some degree (and that is also your ego making sure that you don’t kill yourself), but if it is what YOU want, then it is 100% possible. Your FULL focus and “owning” of it empowers you and the actors go all in on that script and create the play for you. You trust. You allow. You follow the paths that are revealed and you let the players that Source sets up to help you, help. If anything that looks like an obstacle enters the picture, you check in on your own attitude and you see if the “obstacle” is a mirror of what is going on within YOU. You course correct. You SUCEED.

You don’t need the Plan B.

If your close friends are going to abandon you over what you know is right for you, then are they really the kind of friend you want? They might think you are whacky for a time, or worry about you (which is really only about them and their personal worries), and they might not see how it makes sense (because it doesn’t make sense for them), but any true friend will stick with you and accept any of your intuitive hits – because it is what we all want. To be who we are, to be respected for our choices and to be supported even if what we choose to do isn’t what others would choose.

Trust your intuitive hits. Trust and go for your true wants and ideas and goals. Those hits are why you are here and what you were meant to do.

How The Jack Of Spades Helps Us Stay Out Of The Drama

In this post, we’ll learn what the Jack Of Spades shows us about dealing with the idea of…struggle.

And, at the time of this post, we are a few days away from a New Moon in Aries…a New Moon that tells us to act in our best interest…to reinvent ourselves! (More on that at the end of the post)

The Jack cards always represent a dynamic, “young” energy.  It speaks to one having innate talents, but immaturity and a lack of self-discipline can undermine that vital “young” energy.

With the Jack of spades, the energy can be erratic and inconsistent.

The Jack of spades is a wonderful representation of….drama.

As a matter of fact, the Jack of Spades is considered to be the card of the actor.

 

On the show, Downton Abbey, one of Violet Crawley’s lines (played by actress Maggie Smith) is: “Why is life always a fight to the American.”

 

As I worked with this card, I kept wondering: Why do we (Americans) love to live in and through drama? (Did you know that America’s birth card is the Jack of Diamonds?)

 

Why are our troubles and hardships so important to us? It can seem that we strive to have the most woes among our friends and if our life is smooth and peaceful, well, we’re boring and viewed as either hiding something or crazy.

 

The crazy thing is, life isn’t meant to be hard, full of troubles or sad. The Universe is not made of woes and sorrows, the Universe is about expansion, joy and bliss (and we are innately that!)

 

You see this sense of wonder and joy in a small child—they have it because they’ve yet to have it taken away from them. If the Universe wasn’t about joy and wonder, babies would be born feeling sad and lonely and depressed.

 

We do use conflict and strife to expand. Conflict gives us contrast, so we can view something and say, “I don’t like that; I don’t want that.” We can then look for the opposite and go for that. This is a part of the Law of Polarity. The dark is not dark unless the light lets us know it‘s dark; the light is not light unless the dark lets us know it’s light.

The Jack of Spades sits in the Mars line (Mars & Uranus)

While Mars speaks about  action  and how to receive what we need to reach our goal, it also speaks to going about things differently then the traditional way of attaining something new.

 

There can come a point, when you feel like you have to go out and get it. A panic might set in because the idea of not concerning yourself with the how-to’s and not running around like a chicken with your head cut off in the typical “masculine” way of reaching a goal, will feel odd, maybe even scary.

So, we busy ourselves, we worry, we go back to past patterns, our friends keep asking, “Why aren’t you hustling? Why aren’t you out there pounding down doors?”

The struggle is what we seem to be so fond of. It’s like a badge of honor, proclaiming that because we are struggling so much,  we must be working really hard and our struggle surely is greater than anyone else’s struggle, which means we must be doing it better and when we reach our goal, parties and more badges will be delivered to us, cuz you know…..we walked uphill through the snow with no shoes to reach our goal!!

 

We love to talk about how hard things are, how many battles we’re facing to get there and as creatives, we feel even more in love with the struggle, because isn’t art about drama?

 

What good is a painting full of butterflies? What good is a story with no conflict? What good is a slam poem without some turmoil to raise Cain about?

struggle_IG

How can we portray real life if we don’t live in struggle, so we know about the pain?

 

Oh the beautiful pain…or as Dr. Smith would say on the TV show Lost in Space…”the pain…oh the pain…”

 

The spades suit is all about the challenges and struggles in life. They help to fine tune us, to make us wiser, stronger and with each battle, we step up.

 

But with a life of lawsuits over every little bad feeling; kids given prizes for no reason; pills to take away all and any pain, do we even allow challenges to uplevel us?

 

The Jack of spades is the drama we love, the pain we love to taut and the struggles we’d rather focus on, instead of becoming more because of our struggles.

 

The low side of the Jack of spades is to stay in the struggle.

 

If we glorify the struggle, keep talking about it, keep the struggle energy our main focus, keep our thoughts, feelings and environment pointed at the struggle, what are we accomplishing?

More struggle.

That is all.

Just more struggle.

 

On the flip side, the high side of the Jack of spades is about situations that act as your initiation into a new way of being. That is how to view this card. It is a reminder of those things that come along to help us become better.

We might learn about a new way of eating that makes us feel better, or take up some study that makes us more aware of our potential, or meet someone new that helps us see ourselves in a more positive way – all of those types of experiences uplevel our lives in some way and that is what the Jack of Spades represents.

Here’s the twist:  you can better yourself without the erroneous idea that it takes struggle. You can take what seems like a challenge and use it to uplevel yourself. You can have the dream job, the relationships, the home, etc., without going through the drama.

As I’m writing this, I’m going through one hell of a struggle. I know I drew this card because I needed to hear this. It sucks when it feels like life has thrown shit in our face and is laughing about it.

I’ve been angry, felt immense hurt and that my happy rug was pulled out from under me.

To be honest, I wish a handsome knight in shining armor would come sweep me up and take me into the sunset, promising all will be well.

Instead, each day, I have to face how I’m reacting.

Am I sending out a distress signal? Or, am I holding onto the truth that my non-physical, connected Self has it all under control and I just need to get out of the way and trust.

The Jack of Spades card doesn’t indicate challenges or that we will be facing struggle (like the 7 cards might), but it does indicate that what we might be going through can be a doorway to something much better. We just need to stop resisting and stop getting caught up in the struggle.

This card is a reminder of your transformation and that while it might still make you twitchy to be going about things in a new way, you WILL succeed and fulfill your desire.

 

Don’t glorify any struggles. Use them to point out what you don’t want to have in your life any longer, but then move forward. Don’t rehash the old stories. Don’t let your thoughts run wild with the old stories. Don’t let the low vibrations linger and keep you down. Release them.

 

Exercise:

 When you begin to have any erratic, inconsistent thoughts, feelings or you feel panic about something that has happened to you, take the time to sit down with a pen and paper, take some deep breaths and write them out.

Get them out of your body/mind and onto paper. Fold the paper up and write on the outside:

Universe, Dept of Ego Panic

Attention: Jack

Put this folded paper away somewhere.

Now, go do something creative.

**The New Moon in Aries coming up on the 7th: What better time to reinvent yourself than this?

Many times when difficult, unexpected things come along, it gives us the perfect opportunity to do just that – to step back and see if  how we are currently living is really what we want, or is it just habitual?

This New Moon is conjunct Uranus – the planet that shakes things up and says, “Hey, you are more than you think you are, so you should really get out of your rut and go check out what that is!!“

 

If you’re feeling the urge to try something new or things have happened to you that seems to be forcing you to change – the energies to do that are ready for you – create that leap!

How To Use The Immense Power of The Eight of Spades

In this post, we’ll learn how to use the immense power of the Eight of Spades. This card tells us that when we focus our will, our intention and we zoom in on a particular interest, we will be successful.

As a kid, did you ever take a magnifying glass on a sunny day and point it at a leaf and catch the leaf on fire? You magnified and narrowed the sunlight heat onto the leaf. This is  exactly how the 8 of Spades works in our life. It tells us how powerful we are when we zoom in on something we want to achieve and we assert our will and intentions on that thing.

It relates to work and health. When we view our lives through the lens of our bodies—both as our way of living and work—this card speaks to the basic structure of living.

This card says loud and clear—YOU CAN DO THIS!

But how?

First, what does the word “Power” mean for you? This often causes confusion as to how to use this wonderful influence.

Power can feel competitive, overly masculine, aggressive or controlling, so we might not know how to apply our power or even where our power comes from!

Does it mean going at our goal like a pit bull?

No, not at all.

Our point of POWER is in the PRESENT.pwer_imagintion

First, I want to clarify what real power is in regards to our ability as divine beings to create the life we want.

Everything in life started or came into being with the idea or thought of something new or different. (Even the Bible says in John; “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God”.)

The “Word” is Creative Power. God=Creative Power. This is what created all we know. It is the system and structure of life.

It is our ability to conceive with our Minds. Our power comes from the fact that we, as Divine beings in a human body, are here to create—to expand the Universe.

We create with our imaginations.

That is the power the card points us to.  Not physical force, or aggression, or battling things into place, but with our imaginations. We conceive of what we want.

It all starts with what we believe about….. (fill in the blank)

Our thoughts are electro-magnetic realities which affect our body and are automatically translated by our nervous system into the actual way our body functions and experiences life. We literally create how our bodies are and what we will experience by what we believe. (About life, health, work, the world, etc.)

All the energy at our disposal as Divine beings is concentrated towards what we want in order to bring us the results. There are no ifs, ands or buts…it just IS.

Our power resides in our imaginations.

You have the ability to go into your imagination and create (vibrationally) the life you want to live and be there.

 And by being there, living it vibrationally (even for just a few minutes a day), you shift the balance of power.  You take the power away from the obstacles.

See, as humans, we tend to always see the obstacles and then we assign power as the ability to remove the obstacles (sometimes we literally think we have to power through them, right? )

But, the power we have as divine beings isn’t in our bodies or through being aggressive.

It is through our beliefs.

Your effective POWER of action follows your beliefs. If you believe in any limitations, weaknesses, or impossibilities within yourself or in life, you deny and block your innate power. You will GET only in direct correlation with what you believe you’ll get.

Society typically does this: One reacts against something they don’t want or like in response to events that seem to be happening to them.

That can be seen as “power” in our culture. (Go fight for what you want…or go fight against the bad stuff.)

What that does is create more of the same. But because it is an “outer” action, we think it is real power.

Instead, to use our real, innate divine power, we must use our Mind (not our ego-mind) but our beliefs and imagination, to form a mental image of our desired outcome as if it has already happened. We get tripped up here because we look out and see that “it isn’t there yet,” which activates all kinds of limiting reasoning against it. THAT blocks our power.

Because our beliefs have this electro-magnetic reality, the constant interplay between our contradictory beliefs causes power blocks, stopping the flow of energy we have access to in order to create.

Every single thing that is and happens follows this pattern: An accumulation of energy turned into action brought about by the culmination of our beliefs.

Find beliefs that allow you to ignore obstacles. Build a belief system within yourself so that you have no limitations or restrictions.

Now, let’s go back to the statement of, your point of POWER is in the PRESENT.

There are two parts to this.

Part One: Your present beliefs give directions to your entire personality, which reorganizes and changes your past experiences and in the same sense, alters the future.

If you are unable to achieve a goal, there is probably a belief from your past that’s blocking your point of power. We think that the PAST is who we are, when in fact, who you are is in the PRESENT moment.

We can change anything…anything…anything!….when we focus our point of power on the present.

Not the past (how things were then).

Not the future (if only I had this and maybe when I can get to that, THEN I can have what I want).

But seeing, feeling, imagining NOW what you want or how you want to be.

Part Two: Add to this the power that comes from being at peace with how things are in your life NOW.

You might want a change and that is OK– that is how it should be—as creators, we are always expanding. But when you focus on the things in your life that you hate, you block your power to change it.

Love and be grateful for where you are NOW, how you are NOW. That opens your flow of power. Find things to love and be grateful for with your present circumstances daily.

I like to wake up and start listing things, literally looking around me and focusing on what is there that I love; that pleases me; that makes me smile; that feels good. Then I also look at what I might not be happy with and I love it too, because I created it.

(I actually look at what I wish was different and I hear and see the character of Steve Urkel on the show Full House say, “Did I do that?” I can laugh and say, “Yes, I did, I am a powerful creator!” 😉

You are a Divine Co-Creator with the Universe and your desire is very important. YOU are important.

This is the Power of the 8 of Spades —it is the concentrated FOCUS, the unblocked power to actualize one’s goal.

You have this energetic influence to use when this card is in your yearly forecast. We all have access to this at all times, but when it is in your forecast, it says that now, at this time, you chose at a soul level this “energy” to use for a specific purpose. We always have free will—to deny, avoid or refuse. It is your choice.

To use this very powerful influence, here is a step-by-step guide you can download to help you be aware of any old habit/thoughts/beliefs that might be sabotaging your goal and how to change it.
Download it Now

 

Create your point of power now by deciding to state a new belief that is 100% positive in regards to your goal.

Ask the Universe to reveal to you proof that your new belief is TRUTH.

If your birth card is the 8 of spades, you are a very powerful person with the obligation to use your power for good. Don’t use it to avoid or escape your fears – instead make a contribution to society. You are a hard worker and you express your power through actions and your powerful will. You can easily handle obstacles and you have the power to heal and transform the lives of those you know. Your challenge is to develop a more positive attitude about life and the study of spiritual topics will bring you more healing and personal freedom.

If you draw the 8 of spades ask yourself these questions:

  1. What would you truly like to change and improve upon?
  2. List your five top reasons to develop new empowering beliefs.
  3. What new beliefs will let you move past difficulties forever?
  4. When you become determined to achieve your goals, what happens?
  5. What very specific goal, project or topic are you wanting to focus on right now?
  6. What would you need to believe to be successful right now?
  7. What questions do you ask yourself that disempower you?
