Reality Check for wcrow
Spirituality predominates now for you. This ten-card spread consists of three levels and three columns, with a tenth, overview, card beneath them. On the top, spiritual level, all 3 cards are in the suit of Serpents (Wands or Rods), which denotes spiritual matters, and on each of the other two levels there are two cards in that suit. Seven cards out of ten being of one suit is statistically unlikely, very rare and may be unique in my experience. Even only six of a suit is rare. I don’t recall ever having seen seven before, and as I turned them over it took my breath away before I’d turned the fifth one.
That said, the overview card is not in that dominant suit, and with all those cards of a single suit, the exceptions stand out. Emotional factors are the fly in the ointment, the only thing preventing your full serene realization of spiritual perfection and Oneness. Feelings of loneliness, frustration, yearning, and resentment bind you to the past and make you fear for the future. The trick for transcending that is to let go, relax the worrying inner dialogue between thoughts and feelings, and be in the Now.
In one sense, your spirit is transcendent now and this crisis of spirit is already resolved. If not for your continual doubting and questioning, hanging onto beliefs handed to you from the past, and dreams of a desired future, you would have it all now. You know, and yet you doubt. You trust, and yet you fear.
Experiencing all that with passion and immediacy, all at once, can feel so intense that pleasure and pain become indistinguishable from each other. It is a wild ride, and the brain chemistry involved, the adrenaline and endorphins, are addictive. The soaring spirit is housed in a meat machine. You’re human, so that’s okay. It is not just okay, it is inevitable. Fighting it gives it power: what we resist persists.
Language makes it hard to express true reality here. You are working things out. Things are already worked out, working themselves out, will work out. What you desire is yours, will be yours, has always been yours for the asking, but why bother? Love IS. Love is a verb. We do it. We don’t find it or fall into it. Emotional “heart” and intellectual mind are the interface between body and spirit. What is, IS. Love it, love yourself, love others, but there really are no others. We are all ONE.
“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

That is powerful. I don’t really have a way to express what this reading means to me. Thank you for this service, it clears up a lot for me right now.
