The
reality is that we live in an ever-changing universe and this change
is not something that happens just ‘out there’ - it happens to
every one of us, constantly. Our bodies are in a situation of
constant change every single day of our lives, whether we fight it
with Botox, face lifts or age defying face cream!!!– this goes
against the universe and so we have to cut ourselves off from our
feeling receptors so that we remain ‘unchanged’ – so we go
against our basic instincts – leading to more negative energy and
depression and in turn letting our fear get the better of us – our
fear of change. This fear of stepping out of our comfort zone is very
real and leads us down many twists and turns in our mind as we try to
figure everything out. This in turn can uncover more fears and if we
are not careful, paranoia. This fear can overwhelm your desire to
change and keep you in the same old behaviour patterns or situations
– the fear will keep you from moving forwards and realizing your
goals, ambition or life purpose. The fear puts out the flame of
desire within you – however, our true essence is a vital force and
full of light – this light is what will fight against the fear and
overcome it.
If
we go with our instincts and follow the new path that this change is
opening up for us it is important to remain grounded and centred. We
have to keep checking in with our instincts to make sure that we are
still on the new path and still evolving. The feeling of empowerment
and light that flows through your body when proceeding to your
true-life intention is magnificent, and you can smile at the memory
of being unwilling to take the initial leap off the cliff in the
first place. Your bravery has been rewarded with a deep knowing that
you have been true to yourself and is in harmony with the universe.
So
here is the fool, one foot on the edge of the cliff. The other foot
hanging in mid-air. Turning his back on everything familiar, ready to
head off into the unknown with his few belongings to sustain him
along the way. We don’t actually need to take much with us on this
journey as the universe will provide for us and manifest what we need
along the way. This is part of the energy of the fool – trusting in
the universe, trusting in our higher self, living in the moment, and
believing in ourselves, following our hearts, no matter how crazy or
foolish our dreams may seem to be.
The
Fool card is all about beginnings, being spontaneous, accepting your
choices, and having faith. The Fool is about courage, optimism, the
belief in trusting your instincts and intuition and being in harmony
with the ever changing universe.
