Four men of the desert rest in an oasis. They have placed their swords in the center, while their camels wait in the background.<\/p>\n
This card represents the moment when we put down our swords, the struggle, the disputes, the inner conflict or the conflict with others, and sit down to contemplate everything from a wider perspective.<\/p>\n
It is the rest in the middle of the odyssey. That is what the oasis represents. You haven't reached your destination yet, but it is time to take a break and reconsider.<\/p>\n
The symbol on the blanket is the symbol of Jupiter, higher vision.<\/p>\n
We often get lost in our clashes with life, with others and with ourselves. And we lose the bigger perspective of what is actually happening.<\/p>\n
For example<\/p>\n
I don't like my job…. and I focus on that unpleasant aspect…. and I forget that I am doing it out of love for my family, or because I have a plan and in 2 years I will be flying out of here.<\/p>\n
This conflict with my partner bothers me and I suffer…\u2026 And I forget that what I am experiencing is the dynamic of my family that I still carry within me, and that this is the path to healing it.<\/p>\n
I want to solve a problem in my life in 2 days and I get frustrated when I can't…\u2026 because I have overlooked the fact that this problem connects with a deep karmic aspect of my path, and expecting to close the chapter in 2 days is simply not realistic. I need a path and I need time for this.<\/p>\n
These are examples of how we get lost in what is immediate, and lose our energy and our creative mind.<\/p>\n
So we need to stop and put down the swords. Contemplate. Look from a distance. Integrate new KNOWLEDGE and TEACHINGS that help me see the whole movie from another angle, from higher up.<\/p>\n
Wherever you are today, it is part of a bigger journey. Remembering that journey is key to discerning and making the next move.<\/p>\n
This week is about stopping, putting down the struggle and the mental effort, and setting the intention to see the macro.<\/p>\n
Where are you going?<\/p>\n
Who are you?<\/p>\n
How does this situation connect with your intention?<\/p>\n
Is what is happening REALLY as important as it seems? Or is it actually something that will pass and won't carry that much weight in your path?<\/p>\n
Many of you tell me that you want to change your life, that there are things you don't like, but they are still there.<\/p>\n
The first step is not to get on a bus to Zihuatanejo.<\/p>\n
The first step is to understand what is happening from another perspective. That is where all transformation begins.<\/p>\n
Free your perception. Allow yourself to look at things differently and, I guarantee you, everything will begin to change.<\/p>\n
This week, leave your sword in the center and come sit by the fire.<\/p>\n
The stars will tell us the story of what we have truly come into this world to do, and how our path is helping us get there.<\/p>\n
See you by the fire,
