Awakened Awareness

Beyond the veil, clearing distortion and illusion, awareness of what’s running us subconsciously, communing without god force, energetic sovereignty, growth outside your comfort zone, the collective awakening.

Physical reality is the tip of the iceberg. The tapestry we see at surface level is just a fraction of what is going on beyond. Awakened awareness can take place when we start to look between the lines at recurring themes, aspects and symbols that gain our intuitive attention. These are keys to a hidden, overarching plan and a greater weaving. This oracle speaks to the deeper nature behind all we can know with our eyes and minds. Also known as the matrix or the veil, once discovered, it is so easy to get lost in it.

We are conditioned to be disoriented in our physical reality so that anything outside of it becomes unfathomable. Thus, we seek a framework that parallels the nature of the laws of this limiting place. And yet, there is a lot more going on, and our awakening awareness would like us to stretch our consciousness to grasp it. This awareness activates our intuitive system, helps us navigate what is true and supports us in becoming more sovereign and empowered.

We can become more ensnared in the matrix when we are lost in what is running us internally. Running away and/or distracting ourselves may offer short-term relief or band-aid our subtle but deep suffering. Society is coated with a layer of conformity. The idea of “that’s just the way things are done” roadblocks questions when things may be out of alignment. But as we step free and awaken, we gain a more holistic approach to consciousness and come to know ourselves more deeply. We can then take things into our own hands and make changes in the world, thus regaining energy, choice and abundance that is rightfully ours. As we wriggle into the revelations of freedom, we can’t help but awaken those around us.

A single glimpse of the limitless eternal and your life will never be the same again. When we  directly experience the transient yet profound moment of existence, we can allow the constructs we have spent our lives believing to drop away. Our knowledge of the eternal doesn’t leave us, although we may forget it. As we return to our humanness, we may use reasoning to write it off. Or, we may create whole religions around it, in an effort to grasp and recreate it.

When we look into the eyes of God, our consciousness raises, so we can fathom the unfathomable. This expansive experience can never be boxed into words or intellect, but artists, poets and musicians may be able to share, in a small way, the essence that helps us remember ourselves back into our true state. The portals into this experience are vast in number and form. For me, awakened awareness has come through deep meditation, ecstatic dance and journeying with my dharma. In essence, connecting with this element is about raising our vibration, getting out of our heads and allowing our spirit to lead the way.

When we walk behind the veil, we discover our true path. Our reason for being here is revealed in symbolic jigsaw-puzzle pieces and synchronicities. The mysteries unweave, and the paradoxes speak to a different part of us. Our affirmations are potent, our prayers are heard and the medicine of life lessons, however strong and uncomfortable, is full of powerful growth.

This is one of the elemental cards because without moment-to-moment awakened awareness, magic, healing and affirmation cannot be deep or real way enough to actualize. This not just imagining God, but seeing, knowing and communing with the divine spark inside each of us.

Divinatory Meaning

This card is a reminder to wake up! There are many levels and stages of awakening. There is no on/off switch. Keep learning and putting yourself into situations where you can grow. Sometimes we do go back to sleep, so stay aligned with your inner guidance and find ways to remember to wake up.

Do what you love to keep your vibe high. This is not about instant pleasure, but the joy that is substantial and sustainable. Eat healthily, keep your body active, and have life goals but with enough space to hear the answers to your prayers.

When our energy systems become blocked or need a cleanse, we can become drowsy to our vital nature. Energy clearing can help you re-center. Shadow work may also be needed if certain things are running your mind in a disempowering and distorting way.

Find your unique way to connect to the Divine inside you – not as an external seeking but as a receptive allowing. Be inspired to see the question at hand with a different perspective. Look between the lines for a deeper interpretation.
