9 of Swords: Staying Motivated Through Pain
The 9 of Swords piece of you may be coaxing you towards your Personal Enlightenment. For some people, a certain degree of pain is simply a part of who they are and the overall makeup of who they are meant to be. This pain is meant to motivate them and influence their action part of their karmic skeleton on which their earthly essence is placed. For these people, the journey to their Personal Enlightenment is motivated greatly by the pain.
The pain then, is the fuel for their chariot that moves them onward. Without the pain, they would stay stuck and stagnant, never trying to overcome it and move beyond it. In their minds, they may think that eradicating the pain is the ultimate goal, but it is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to understand and accept the pain, for their pain has something to teach them.
Accept and understand the necessity of the pain. Explore the necessity of the pain. The attainment of Enlightenment is not in the eradication of pain but in the understanding and acceptance of it. Come to terms with the pain. Realize that it is there for a reason. It is fuel in your Chariot. Your Chariot is taking you down the path to your Personal Enlightenment. Without the pain of the 9 of Swords, how far would you get?
