The Highway Shaman Wisdom Reading
for July 31, 2020
It’s time for a change. Yesterday I wrote about how often I get the card Hesitation and today I got the runner-up in often – HEIGHT and reversed. Hesitation and self doubt go hand in hand. It’s too obvious that I’m being given a message. PROJECTIONS tells me that all my judgments of others not reaching their potential, is actually all about me. When am I going to do something which excites me, or at least seems like a worthy achievement? So, beginning tomorrow, August 1st, I will be doing something different. I don’t know what, but I’m thinking more Highway Shamanistic. FIVE OF FIRE is encouraging me into Creative brainstorming; unity in diversity, honoring differences. I have the freedom to explore the ideas that seem most far-fetched. What seems crazy today proves tomorrow to be brilliant. Like a child willing to stretch her imagination when a new playmate comes into the garden, I open to new people and ideas, intrigued by what is novel and unfamiliar. This is a time for what is counterintuitive, for appreciating the ideas from far out in left field and what they might offer. Stay tuned.
THE READING
The Elements Tarot: HEIGHT:
Attainment. Wisdom. Success. Action directed by inner guidance.
REVERSED: Fear of failure. Aspiring for success while maintaining a limiting self image. Self doubt.
Osho Zen Tarot: 7 of Water – PROJECTIONS –
The only way to reach to truth is to learn how to be immediate in your vision, how to drop the help of the mind. This agency of the mind is the problem, because mind can create only dreams. Through your excitement the dream starts looking like reality. If you are too excited then you are intoxicated, then you are not in your senses. Then whatsoever you see is just your projection. And there are as many worlds as there are minds, because every mind lives in his own world.
“All of us can get caught up in projecting movies of our own making onto the situations and people surrounding us. It happens when we are not fully aware of our own expectations, desires and judgments – instead of taking responsibility for them and owning them, we try to attribute them to others. A projection can be devilish or divine, disturbing or comforting, but it is a projection nonetheless – a cloud that prevents us from seeing reality as it is. The only way out is to recognize the game. When you find a judgment arising about another, turn it around – does what you see in others really belong to you? Is your vision clear, or clouded by what you want to see?”
