I pulled a card at the near end of the work day.
I got... POWER. I've gotten that before. Asher got Princess of Wands, and Riley go The Hermit.
So what does the Power card mean to me?
As I have grown in my own power lately, by NOT reacting more and more, (thus creating Light) and ALSO by opening to every feeling, taking in all emotions and things in life, and feeling them, not trying to reject them... both of these I think have helped me grow in silent power. Part of the card suggests that this 'power' inside will lead to greater influence 'outside' with others. Once you know yourself, then others have immediate respect for you. This card is a call to power for me and an opportunity to take charge and make a difference.
But there are warnings, when ever you DO gain power inside... and here they are:
Am I abusing my power?
Am i stuck in my Ego?
Do i need to be right?
Am I manifesting my power with integrity?
Do i really know myself or am I just fooling myself?
Am I refusing to explain myself to others?
I think power is a dangerous thing. Once you get a little power, it can make you act like an ass. That is another reason why it's a GOOD idea to have some power. You might need to go through act like an ass stage so that you can LEARN to handle power and be good and open no matter what. Go fearlessly in your power.
It's like the difference between someone who says they will beat you in a game of chess because they are just trying to put you off your game, to intimidate you, or those who honestly think they are going to win and keep that to themselves. True confidence.
On another note entirely I wanted to discuss the concept of love. But I will have to think about it more. :)
