Knight of Swords

With so much happening, with it all moving so fast, its hard to remember what you thought before. Messages are arriving. Epiphanies. Offers. Decisions are being made. This week we are feeling the Knight of Swords. He is in motion. Delivering the news. Speaking his mind. And maybe hurting some feelings. 

This week, we are not afraid of the truth anymore. We have gotten clear on our passion, done the inner work, and now our brain is going through a major adjustment, because the Knight of Swords energy means we are not always eloquent in our delivery. We are just saying it. 

One of the byproducts of reducing our fear of the truth, is that we are all walking around speaking things we wouldn’t have said before, would have held back, for harmony’s sake or because we put our own thoughts and feelings behind those of another. 

So now WE are saying it, and THEY are saying it to us, and it could feel a bit sharp. 

The bluntness of the truth can cut just little bit. Not in a debilitating way, but delivers enough of a sting that we really have to take a look at the beliefs and thoughts that we held that made it hard for this special brand of truth to surface long ago. 

The truth is we care deeply for one another. Most of the time, we are actually worried more about hurting others than telling the truth. We fear that if our truth hurts the other, then maybe we will risk damaging the connection we have and hold so dear. So we white lie to ourselves. AND THEM (if we are honest). 

We make our truths less important than our attachments and we shrink from our lack of authenticity, which blows up into resentments and rages if left unnoticed for too long, in some ways hurting those we protected in the first place. (Ourselves included) 

THAT PATTERN HAS COMPLETELY ENDED (Thank goodness) but now we are left with this overzealous knight who, at some times, lacks tact and elegant communication in his effort to be authentically transparent, FINALLY. 

So look lovingly and patiently and compassionately at yourself and those around you. Listen to the intention more than the words. Ask for clarity before jumping to your painful conclusions. 

We are all seeking deeper authenticity AND deeper connection with each other. Try not to cut back if another’s words cut you. It takes a lot of courage to share the truth of us with another. It’s very vulnerable to not sugar coat and white lie ourselves in communication. 

Over the next three weeks we are moving toward our mastery in this department. But we are still green. Be gentle. 

So much love to you, Authentic Communicators.
