Get Ready to Evolve - Derek John Thomas - The Intentional Life with Tarot

This week’s spread spoke very directly to me and what I am focusing on learning and practicing these days. I hope it speaks to you too. Many of us talk about doing shadow work, healing the inner child, self-care, and finding our worthiness. We hope to evolve, to become a new, healthier version of ourselves through the work we do. Otherwise, why would we do all of this work? However, I’m not sure we have all understood that our evolution calls us to make conscious and deliberate change in our lives. The new us is going to need to react to people and circumstances in our lives in new ways. If those new ways are merely the flip side of the same problems we’ve had, then we haven’t actually evolved. If we go from quiet victim to vociferous victim, someone who proclaims their victimhood to manipulate people into doing what they want, then we are still victims. Our evolution demands a radical change in how we will be in the world, and that might be scary. What will people say if we are suddenly someone else? What about all of the stuff we have accumulated to support our old personalities? Can we let go of the things that we have been using to distract ourselves from our essentially self-inflicted pain? What if our parents or friends don’t approve?

This week’s spread dives into all of this. I hope you find it meaningful.
