2 of Swords

This week’s Tarot-Draw is the Two of Swords.

This scene feels like things are about to get athletic.

Are you waiting on a fight to come to you, or perhaps you’re training for something… with swords… blindfolded… in a symbolic pose… at night?

Nostalgic vampire slayer vibes much?

What are we feeling?

A little anxious; a little bound up by the rules we have set in place for ourselves; a little tested?

Well, yes indeed, you are being tested.

By the part of you that felt the feelings you just went thru when hearing confirmation of you being tested.

Okay self, what do you mean?

Self improvement is the Holy Grail. We are constantly training ourselves for something.

Being tested is a part of training, and training looks messy behind the scenes so it can appear fluid on the screens.

Getting better at something takes training.

Training takes effort, and testing validates effort.

We’re all constantly testing our own resolve and readiness.

As the Drag Queens say “Stay ready so you don’t got to get ready.”

What does readiness feel like for you?

Where is that perfect line of readiness that’s just past the anticipation and anxieties but not so far that it doesn’t matter?

You’ve gone too far if the waves of apathy are crashing onto the shores of disdain.

By the way, when’s the last time you fed your inner goth?

Your very own stylish stoic sufferer.

Behind the blindfold is there peace or a storm?

It’s okay to feel “I’m not ready yet,” but stop gas-lighting the universe by asking for a sign and then going “No. That sign wasn’t good enough I need a better sign… no, not that either, I need a better-better sign universe…”

Don’t let your eyes deceive you.

You were gifted with more than one sense.

Watch out for friendly fire and training accidents.

Anyone else feel like they are being expected to perform well before a juried intergalactic panel as we chase wholeness, happiness, and appointment to the station of Pan Galactic Ambassador?

This week in Psychic Sleep we’ll touch on themes of: emo-ninjas; readiness; and training by moonlight.
