Dean and Jack have another very high energy reading, the intersection of third eye and crown to set the stage. A profession of wanting to see more, to understand more, to gain insight into that which is beyond us. Curiosity influences the way we see the world. Dean’s deck then reminded us to find ourselves within ourselves, as the deep source of waves, the water from which all emotions flow. With ourselves conscious of our being within the context of the great ether, we have a truth to speak to the universe but one that collaborates with others, forming a wave of understanding within an ocean of connection. Which is beautifully summed up in the idea of the first ripple, the very first movement that connects and resonates within all of us. Finally the reading comes to a close with the understanding of how the heart and third eye work together to find collaboration with others, to connect us to the greater idea, the greater truth.

Dean and Jack are immediately greeted by the idea of balance between self and the universe, an intersection of the crown and the root that speaks to cathedrals reaching high above us, still grounded and yet aspiring to be with the ether above. And then the idea of stillness and celebration. A pause on the journey that is a place to reflect, to dance and sing, to be whole and focused purely on right now. All this while the sky above us sings to the heavens, prayers that rise up like smoke and fill the sky with dancing colors. But in all this above and below, there is a call to balance, to actively sink down so that we can rise up. From that balance the truth can be found as our eyes open to the light around us and the dawning of the morning, there is pure joy in seeing things as they truly are.

Dean and Jack struggle to find meaning in this reading. We love learning, especially from the wisdom of others. But that wisdom is not always easy to ingest, to understand and to bring into action. Sometimes it’s hard to open our eyes to the truth of what we’re experiencing. Truth itself is hard, not always what we want it to be, and not always able to be grasped. Like the majesty of two stars orbiting each other, sometimes truth is so big it can’t be known, only experienced. But we have the strength within to encounter these things, to interact with them. To let them wash over us and be part of us. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is stand up and say “I don’t know.” But we do have the heart to show others what we have learned. To be the source of learning, the unseen pathways through the world that others can follow. Ultimately, what’s true and what’s known are not always the same thing, but trying to interact with them is the journey we must all take.
