While the King of Cups reversed came to watch our coffee ritual today, both he and our latte have separate messages. But they do relate to one another.

How to Approach These Words

As I thought about the implications of this particular king reversed (grudges, hurt feelings, and the like) I was inspired by the resulting latte to give you some guidance on how to approach this blog…and every blog. Actually, what I’m about to say should be applied to how you interact with your life.

You see, I’m on this journey with you. The words I write are for me, just as much as they are for you. (Well, the “you” that you perceive as separate from me, but that’s a different subject.) Anyway, when you read the words I write, you should prepare your mind to read them as you speaking to yourself. If it helps you can try and take a third party approach by observing the mind which is speaking, rather than seeing yourself as the mind that is having the thought.

Do This, Don’t Do That

Start thinking of yourself as your thoughts – as a mind. Because the things I write are the clues you need to think deeper about who you are. My words are not telling you how you’re meant to get to your future. Only you know how to do that…with your thoughts. The whole point of Coffee Karma Daily – the Tarot, the lattes – is to help you remember who and what you are. The tarot and my words are to provide a relevant topic and help you think about it with perspective and purpose. Because you are your thoughts.

Remember – to change anything you have to first see it differently in your mind.

Today’s Tarot Thought Prompt

The King of Cups reversed is asking you to realize what a waste of time it is to hold onto grudges and hurt feelings. You will free up infinitely more space in your mind to think about living your goals when you stop giving your thought energy away to what hurt you. Doing this is actually what is manifesting the cycle you’re repeating.

Forgive and Forget

In this situation think about the saying, “forgive and forget.” But before you say, “What about it?”, know that I don’t mean this in the “have compassion for your enemy” way. Nope. No altruism here. I mean it literally.

Forgive

Forgiveness is just accepting a wrongdoing and no longer judging it. It doesn’t mean you have to welcome any part of it back into your life. Forgiveness simply doesn’t allow the infraction to hold any space in your mind.

Forget

Forgetting it is meant literally. F*cking forget it. Don’t give your thought space away like that. Think of your goals instead.

Note that I didn't say, "Think of your dreams". To your mind, the word "dreams" doesn't feel as real as the word "goals". Even though they're actually the same thing. So if it helps you, build your confidence by manifesting smaller goals so you can dream up bigger ones.

And don’t think of how you’ll get to your goals. You don’t need to do that. Just think about what you want to experience. Your subconscious will handle getting you there. That’s its job. And it’s been doing it perfectly all along. Just find the thoughts you enjoy and enjoy the subsequent physical experiences. Because life is a series of your thoughts physically manifesting.
