The 8 of Swords

You are not stuck. You only feel that you are. You are not trapped. You only feel that you are. You not dis-empowered. You only feel that you are. Feeling like you hit a wall? Well, back up a few steps and re-examine your path. There is a way around, over, through, or under that wall. Look for it. Do you see it? Do not mistake minor set backs for devastating losses. Set backs are simply the universe’s way of saying “There is a better way.” Look at the figure in this card. Notice how loose her binds are? She is quite capable of wriggling out of them. See the swords blocking her path? They are behind her, not in front of her. She simply needs to open her eyes and see that. And so do you. Everything is fine. There is nothing to worry about. Remind yourself of this.

Now, Right Now

“The Future” has a way of demeaning the present. We think about it. Thinking about it has a way of inciting worry. Worry equals fear. Fear is a smog bank, disallowing us to see our own hand in front of our face. So do not give thought to “The Future.” Allow the present to gently and with ease dissolve into this which we call “The Future.” Allow it to simply happen without an attempt to force it. By forcing it, we create worry. Worry distorts the Now. So, if you live in a right manner, then your Now will be right. Living in a right manner makes every Now right. So, when this Now dissolves into the next, into the next, into the next, all Nows are right and good. When the Now of the current moment eventually becomes the Now of many Nows from now, all will be well. This is the living of The Right Now.
