Angel Paths for August 6 - Ten of Disks

The Ten of
Disks
The Lord of Wealth talks not only about material
wealth and its appropriate use, but about the
inner wealth and resources that we all have.
This is a card that teaches us that the harvest
we gather in our lives is the end result of all
that we have put into living - and more
importantly, how we have used the riches at our
disposal.
We make our own realities with every thought,
every deed, every wish. And when we direct our
energies positively we shall arrive - as a
perfectly natural consequence - at the 10 of
Disks. Of course, if we direct our energies
negatively we'll find ourselves with the 10 of
Wands, or the 10 of Swords - neither of which
are happy cards!
There is a warning connected to this card
though. When we have created sufficient wealth
to make ourselves comfortable and contented, if
we have a surplus, then we must make that
surplus work. We cannot expect energy to flow
freely in our lives if we hoard it, and try to
hang on to it. This is as pointless as trying to
save up the breeze so that it will blow on a
stuffy day! There are some things in life you
cannot clutch tight in the hand without crushing
their value out of them.
If this card comes up in an everyday reading, it
re-assures that financial and material matters
are proceeding well, and that there is no cause
for concern.
If it comes up in a more spiritually based
reading, then we need to be applying the
underlying principles to our lives - so in this
case, we need to be letting our inner wealth
show, in order to manifest that into our lives.
Working with the Ten of Disks
The Lord of Wealth is a card which talks about
the manifestation of the fruits of our labours,
in whatever area they have been directed. When
we have aimed all our energies in a single
stream of force toward one end, there comes a
point, inevitably, where we shall attain our
objective. And that is what the 10 of Disks
indicates.
Often, commentaries on this card warn that once
sufficient wealth has been attained, you should
make sure you distribute excess fairly and
generously. This is because energy which remains
unused eventually corrupts and dissipates.
But there's another aspect to the right use of
energy which is not so often addressed. This is
to do with the way the Will works. There's a
common misunderstanding about the use of Will
among us - we tend to think that applying Will
is something that we only do consciously. This
is incorrect. The human Will works all the time.
It runs around happily creating whatever seems
most pressing in your mind.
This has a rather unfortunate side effect. For
many people, the most pressing emotions and
responses in their minds are connected to fear,
pain, unhappiness or deprivation. Once seized by
feelings such as these, it can be very difficult
indeed to keep your mind off them, and engage in
positive thoughts, affirmations and actions.
You know the feeling.something comes along and
hurts you. Then you suffer. You keep circling
the issue in your mind. You build up a nice
collection of fears. You make a lot of (often
wildly illogical) painful associations. And you
do not find a relevant affirmation and repeat it
with extraordinary fervour until you have your
feelings back under control. You do not go and
do something nice for yourself. You do not
deliberately force your thoughts and feelings
onto a more positive track.
All the time that cycle is taking place, your
Will is wildly scampering after all those
negative feelings and channelling your energy
out into life, attempting to create the things
it thinks you want!
DOH!!!! Dissipation of power causing chaos!!
The Lord of Wealth teaches us the invaluable
lesson...by bringing our thoughts and emotions
to a conscious level, and by making positive
choices about how we direct those energies, we
create our world. So we need to decide what we
what, and then think about that...not linger on
the things that we don't want. And we need to
trust our own energy to fly out into the
Universe and come back to us completed.
Then we are endlessly wealthy.
Affirmation: I am endlessly wealthy.
