Today's inspiration comes through The Star archetype in the Tarot story. This popped into my consciousness this morning while I was replying to an email from a dear friend. She was looking intently at some of the people she had drawn into her life who, from my perspective, seemed to reflect the wounds in her sense of self. People who drew upon her exquisite energy to inflate themselves and gain recognition for themselves via her knowledge.
While the ego may see The Star as being recognized as a star in some creative endeavor this is really the journey of healing our sense of self.
This card, the 17th one in the Thoth Tarot deck, represents the process one must go through to heal a wounded sense of self, or a wounded self-esteem. The opportunity here is to recognize the self. To recognize the intimate individualized internal path one must follow to heal the heart. Often this involves grief work - and we do live in a grief challenged world!
It is a hero or heroine's journey to fully embrace one's grieving. To fully feel and express the loss experienced with a wounded sense of self by recognizing that as a personal reality. Once the recognition, or awareness, of that is made then the journey of healing that wound begins.
Once we fully recognize our wounds we become The Star in our own story. Then, we recognize that the story isn't all that important. However, the recognition of our intuitions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around the wounding and the healing is what is significant.
As this integrates into our Model of Living (which I'll write about in my next post) our star shines and we are then able to truly recognize others. That is The Star within you manifesting at your higher energetic frequencies.
How do you know your wounded sense of self is healed or healing? You begin to recognize the star-ness within others. It becomes more important to give recognition to others than to seek recognition for the self.
