When I first made this card, I was completely baffled by its possible meaning.Ā I just loved all the light and the door… and yes, those young monks really intrigued me!Ā A perfect example of making a card intuitively because you love how all the images just seem to fit together for some strange reason.
It wasn’t until I worked with this Neter and let these monks tell me their story that it made sense to me.
Who are you?
We are the ones who are young and male. We are the ones who are dressed in the orange and saffron robes of monks. We are the ones who are Monks-in-Training. We are the ones who are moving through the heavy open doors.Ā The doors have just been opened to us and we are moving forward.Ā Someone on the inside opened the doors for us and now we are continuing to open them with our own hands and strength.Ā We are the ones who are eager to get to the inside where the light is.
What do you have to give me?
We give you eagerness, strength to push FARTHER open some doors that have already partially opened to you. We give you the ability to accept that you also are in Training for something else.
What do you want from me?
We want you to know that it is okay to not know everything about something. It is okay to be in-training for something important. We want you to apply Beginner’s Mind to whatever you are doing next.
Is there anything else you want to say to me today?
Yes. Pay attention to any Doors in your life that have opened to you.Ā Continue to open them with your own curiosity and eagerness.Ā Follow the light- only pursue the doors where the light beckons you from the other side. You will know. Trust that you will know.
