For this week’s blog, I heard it’s time for an Inner Light check-in! I pulled a card from my numerology oracle deck and I picked the 19 – Pride card. My initial reaction was like oh boy, how am I going to talk about something that often has a negative connotation to it. But keep reading to hear the fascinating deeper message from my Council of Light!
Pride Can Be An Ego Thing
Last week’s blog talked about the difference between the ego and the true self. The ego can be a tricky and sneaky one. The easiest way to recognize if your thoughts are formed by the ego versus your True Self, is if they are created from fear, judgment, anger, etc. Pride is another emotion that is fueled by the ego.
The problem is, pride can get in the way of creation. If we break down the number 19 according to numerology, you get 1 + 9 = 10 = 1. 1 is all about new beginnings. Fresh perspectives. New ideas and inspiration. But your ideas for new projects or adventures can be hindered and delayed by things such as pride.
Sometimes when you start a new project, you may have to try a few different routes until you reach your goal. Sometimes the first path you go down ends up leading to a dead end and you have to start all over again. Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and say, ok that didn’t work, let’s try a new way.
This card is inviting you to connect with your Inner Light, your True Self, your Soul when starting a new project or embarking on a new journey. Your Inner Light will keep guide you on the right path and help you make aligned decisions. And when you do make a wrong turn, your True Self will lift you up and help you see the higher purpose and bright side of the situation.
Open Your Mind to New Perspectives
This month’s “Soul in One” Digest talks about the importance of seeing things from a different perspective. Things like pride can also cloud our vision from seeing situations in a different or more positive light. This is especially important when you are starting a new creative, business, or personal growth adventure. Being able to look at a challenge in a different light can help give you ah-has about which step or direction you need to take next. Sometimes mistakes end up being what you need to change your thought process and open your eyes.
I remember in art class I was working on a big painting. I made a mistake and at first, I was so frustrated. I beat myself up because I thought I ruined it! I thought, now I’m going to have to start all over! I was about half-way done with it. But, as I calmed down, I started seeing how I could move the painting in a completely new direction. This “mistake” ended up being the best thing that happened to my painting! It looked even better! Had it not been for this mistake, I never would have viewed it from a different perspective and fulfilled my true vision for the painting.
My True Self showed me the light in this “mistake.” My ego could have very easily taken over and caused me to feel like a failure. But my True Self didn’t let my pride, frustration, or hopelessness (feelings generated by the ego) get in the way of creation!
Set the Ego Aside and Ditch the Pride!
Let this card be a reminder to let go of control and just let it flow! Expounding upon the last episode’s message, tap into your inner child to remember what it’s like to experience true joy, bliss, and imagination!
Let your inner child guide your new beginnings, whatever they may be right now. Set your ego aside to allow the magic to manifest! When you tap into your inner child, you’re tapping into your Inner Light, and when you connect to your light, you don’t feel the need to control. You act on inspiration and bliss only.
Take a Bliss Vacation!
If you’re feeling stuck in a project or new endeavor, then take a bliss vacation! Give yourself a week off from the daily to-do list and only create out of inspiration, not have-to. This will open up the energy and allow the creativity to just flow! Your day will be easier and more full of joy. Check in with your True Self and notice how blissed-out you are after just one week!
Enjoy!
