Eight of Spades

Eight of Spades combines Eight themes of power, disciplined force, mastery, and momentum with Spades themes of consciousness, work, belief, action, and transformation.

Effortlessly attuned to and aware of the higher truth that enfolds other truths within it

Decisive and clear; able to make bold, confident decisions easily

Sucking all the oxygen out of the room with a self-serving agenda

Unconsciously bursting through social situations like an interrupting tornado

Seeking out confrontation and even relishing the opportunity for confrontation

Stuck inside an intertwining loop of cynical and pessimistic assumptions

Consciously choosing to harmonize one's life with grace and finesse

An outstanding work ethic and easily working one's way to success

Overworking oneself to the point of not even taking enough time to breathe

Believing that only through more and harder work will one succeed

Abusing one's power and even deliberately, sadistically bullying others into submission

Hidden fears can become paranoia, which clouds one's clarity and blocks forward progress

Consciously choosing to labor with love and to infuse love into one's labor

Making oneself into a martyr whose only job in life is to care for loved ones

Taking it upon oneself to try to try to pull the strings that control the happiness of others

Mentally fixated on a "woe-is-me" story, thinking "no-one cares about me"

Irrational fears of abandonment block healthy relationship dynamics

Acting as a leader within one's relationship to initiate and authorize growth

Sabotaging one's mental wellbeing with constant hypothetical "what-if "scenarios

Terrible work/life balance; stuck in work-mode all the time

Making oneself physically ill with worry and stress

Bringing conscious awareness to every aspect of one's life brings a lightness of being
