59. TRANSCENDENCE

SPIRITUAL REBIRTH. CULTIVATING STILLNESS.

My eyes are open. I am eternal spirit in human form. I am Grace embodied. I am a living prayer.

With transcendence comes a sense of compassion and clarity. This is the awakening of the heart, when we have moved through something so powerful - so intense - that we are fundamentally changed as a human being afterwards. This sense of enlightenment can unfold as a result of extreme loss as well as euphoric joy. Heartache. Suffering. Death. Birth. Newfound love. Cathartic release. Wish come true.

It is the entry point of awareness, when your understanding of what it means to be alive become crystal clear. When you have learned, and unearthed a greater lesson. It may feel as though your eyes are open for the first time in your life, when previously you were drifting with the current. It is almost like a near death experience, when we catch a glimpse of what lies beyond the veil.

In many spiritual traditions, the ultimate goal is to transcend the karmic wheel and become one with Source. However, it is a popular misconception to assume this means forgoing the human experience altogether. When we are in spirit form, there is no separation in consciousness. The point of incarnation is to cultivate our connection with the divine while being bound by the mortal coil.

There is a beautiful sense of wonder that comes with this message. You may be at a point of powerful awakening. If you have been sensing a deeper nudge within you, this card comes as confirmation of much greater forces at play. You are invited to cultivate inner stillness via meditation, and carry your serenity into the everyday life. True transcendence is embodied when we are able to navigate the vivid dance of life with grace. To observe with neutrality as the world swirls around us. To acknowledge - and act upon - the plight of the world without being drawn into the petty dramas of the human game.
