Day/Card 17 of 39 … Awakening …
“The Universe will shake you to wake you.” Something happens in your life that causes you to question your existence. Why am I here? What’s my purpose? Who am I? Why did that happen? WTF?!?
It’s happened to me several times in my life: A divorce, a demotion at work, a child getting sick are a few of my examples. At the time of the incident, you can’t see why it’s happening to you. You’re upset, or angry and all you can really see is that it has turned your world upside down. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve blamed and gotten angry God, only to quietly and humbly ask for forgiveness when I realize how it was a blessing in disguise and all part of the master plan for my life.
God/The Universe works like that. Here you are going about your merry way in life even though you know you’re not happy. You keep trying, pretending to be okay. But the Universe knows! God knows! And they will remove something from your path, or throw a monkey wrench in your best laid plans to wake you the fuck up because you’ve been sleepwalking through your life!
The “Awakening” card is a call for you to see and understand that you are NOT separate from God or the Universe. The illusion that you’re separate begins to dissolve. It’s truly a wake up call that can be felt in your entire being. Things do happen in your life for a reason. Most times it’s asking you to wake up and to begin shifting your perspective. And if you’re unwilling, it does something drastic so you will! It’s time to wake up, My Friends!
