The Search for Direction
Have you ever noticed that from time to time we seem to lose our way? Or sometimes it feels like we’ve never even discovered our inner compass that lets us know if we’re headed in the “right” direction, where our deepest self really wants us to go. Often, it’s hard to know where to turn. Candles, crystals, prayer, meditation, and nature are all good ways to reconnect to that essence of energy and love we’ve come to identify as our “inner light.”
Tarot, though, offers a deeper layer of awareness for us. We resonate with the images that Spirit has placed before us in the spread and connections start to take place. Awareness of our deepest self is facilitated at that moment when we see the past, present, and future in a clearer light. When we get back on the road to our destiny, we feel whole again.
Let’s look at an example of how this works.
Reconnect with Your Inner Light Tarot
This is a four-card spread to connect with the inner light within you. The spread is laid out in a left to right square, with cards One and Two at the top two corners and cards Three and Four at the bottom two corners.
An Example Tarot Spread
A caller, Robert, experienced a recent breakup with a very significant lover. Simultaneously, the company he worked for went bankrupt, then he had a serious health event that knocked his energy sideways. This is the spread that Robert got to answer the question, “What the hell is going on, and what do I do now?”
Card One- What it Means to Me to Return to My Inner Self
The Magician
It meant mastery to Robert to know himself as confident, in control, and skillful. His expertise was impressive in his field of work. He had disciplined himself with fitness routines, diets, and study courses that daunted others.
Yet, he found himself now alone, sick, unhappy, and in financial peril. He held on to the Magician archetype as what he conceived to be his true self. And, in many important ways, it’s obvious that it was. His intelligence was an important part of his true inner light.
Card Two- Why Returning to Myself is Important to Me
The Emperor
Getting the Emperor in this position confirmed that Robert loved to be independent. He loved sovereignty in his own world. This frequently had a positive expression in his life and affairs. He was self-directing and original in his work. He was resourceful to the max in meeting his own needs. His busy parents taught him to think and fend for himself when he was young and it made him a self-sufficient achiever.
Past a certain point though, his self-reliance became maladaptive and counter-productive. He was at that point in this dilemma when he called for a reading. He was floundering dangerously at looking out for his own interests, and protecting his own well-being, by using independence alone.
Card Three- How Can I Find the Purpose My Inner Light Wants to Show Me?
Seven of Wands
Robert’s core belief that he must fight all battles alone was what this card indicated. His conviction that there was no alternative to this “truth” was the crux of Robert’s stalemate. In childhood, Robert had overly committed parents who had time for everyone and everything but him. He was left with the belief that it was shameful to reach out for help, advice, and attention.
His parents were involved in many truly important projects, and even as a child Robert saw that, and admired it. He felt that the best road for him was to model himself after their behavior in order to succeed. And, to a significant degree, it worked for him.
But… it wasn’t working for him now!
When he fully came to see this, he made a developmental leap. He came to see that “authority figures” and peers could be his loving, supportive friends who wanted to help him succeed. He came to see that by asking for help and advice, not only was the “job” of living his life easier but it helped him to form relationships with those who would nurture and mentor him.
Card Four- Why Does My Inner Light Want to Shine Anyway?
Judgment
Don’t make the mistake of interpreting this card in the scary, limited sense of the word! Understanding this card metaphysically is very important. Mythologically and archetypally, the Judgment process is what brings about spiritual transformation. It allows going to a higher level through sloughing off the old and reaching up for something better.
As Medium and Spiritual teacher, James Van Praagh, reminds us, “We are spiritual beings having a physical, earthly experience.” Realizing this can bring about a new start, and a “promotion” to higher levels of consciousness. Robert saw that being led by soul and Spirit causes things to flow into channels of higher good at all levels of being; body, mind, and spirit.
By reaching in, out, and up he rose to a closer version of his true self. The world reflected back to him his better, clearer consciousness with more success and happiness.
Will This Work for Me?
Yes. The ability to connect with our inner light is different for each of us. We each have our own set of tasks to complete and lessons to learn along the evolutionary pathway of Spirit. Tarot is uniquely tailored to speak to each of us exactly at our own place of consciousness because of its adaptable and universal symbol system. Why not enjoy, and make the most of it?
