The Sun

Our intention, with this essay, is sharing.

Sharing what?

A few ideas on making your dreams a reality.

The Sun

Out of all the Tarot cards that comprise a deck, my favorite card may just be “The Sun.”

You can interpret “The Sun” in many ways.

Out of all the interpretations that “The Sun” supports, my favorite can be found below.

The experience of true joy, contentment, happiness, blessings, love, success, radiance, passion, and enthusiasm.

And, in turn, a period in your life in which you feel — and know — that the Sun is shining down on you.

You can replace the word “Sun” with “God” or, even, “the Universe.”

Out of all the moments in my life in which the Sun has shined down on me, my most favorite is the Summer of 2022.

I was given promotions, raises, and new clients with such effortless ease.

On top of that, all manner of books, new ideas, friendships — and so on and so forth — simply…popped into my life.

Every single day was a gift greater than any in my life.

Or, at least, it felt that way, within those moments.

A similar experience occured in January of 2023.

Other moments have existed along these same lines. But, in truth, it does feel like it’s been a while since the Sun has really shined on me, bringing me into one of those moments that exist outside of time.

Or, well, something like that.

Regardless of that digression, “The Sun” is an experience.

It is also a state of being that you can conjure.

You might even think of it as an archetype.

A very special archetype that you can invoke.

And, in invoking “The Sun,” your life/world will change.

Your life/world will change, just as you change.

Or, perhaps, “The Sun” is a world — a series of moments, perhaps; a timeline, if you will — that you can step into.

If you step into “The Sun,” then you are likely to experience the following:

  1. A wealth of unexpected gifts, blessings, and opportunities.
  2. Passion and enthusiasm coupled with the things that engender such states.
  3. More money and prosperity than you expect and/or are accustomed to.
  4. Adventures and quests that expand your mind and nurture your soul.
  5. A deep sense of faith, confidence, and happiness that permeates your entire being,

And so on and so forth.

The above is my experience.

Going Into “The Sun”

You have the power to command luck.

To command luck, blessings, gifts, opportunities; and so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

Just as you have the power to command “The Sun.”

Or, more specifically, to bring “The Sun” into your life.

As an experience. As an archetype. As an energy.

And so on and so forth.

You can command “The Sun” into your life by using many, many different rituals.

Out of all these different rituals, the two found below are some of the easiest and, yet, most powerful.

Ritual 01: Say “Thank You” To “The Sun”

Our first ritual involves taking out “The Sun” card.

Or, if you don’t have a Tarot deck, you can find “The Sun” card online.

Give yourself a minute to look at the card.

Right after you do so, take a few deep breaths.

And, then, say “Thank you.”

To what?

“The Sun.”

Just say “Thank you” over and over again, while staring at “The Sun.”

Do so until you feel a sense of relief.

Or, alternatively, a sense of joy, happiness, grace; and so on and so forth.

If you do this, then something will happen.

Something really, really good.

I am not sure why this works so well. But, I assume it’s because this ritual bypasses our habitual assumptions, thoughts, and anxieties, making it easier for the things we truly yearn for to arrive.

Ritual 02: Surrender To Your Inner Child

Our second ritual is very different from the first ritual.

Close your eyes and take several deep breaths.

Just breathe in and breathe out, until you feel a sense of peace.

Or, alternatively, a sense of relief.

Right after you do so, imagine the things that really excite you.

You can imagine anything.

But, do your best to imagine things that really, really excite you.

If you are excited by finding esoteric books and visiting museums, then imagine all of those things.

Give every single thing you imagine a tangible sense of reality.

Every scene should be colorful, vibrant, and fun.

Let yourself smile. And, if you can, laugh.

Do so until you feel, if only for a moment or so, that what you are imagining is real.

Or, at the very least, could become real.

If you do this once, good things will happen.

But, if you do this more than once, and really feel your wishes, then really, really good things will happen.

You will step into “The Sun.”

All That Exists Is This Moment

Our final section is concerned with an idea.

Every single thing exists within this moment.

You can always change course.

Just as you can always move into a different moment.

A different moment that will become this moment.

Or, well, something like that.

Sorry.

My point is that you can step into “The Sun” at any time.

Regardless of your fears, expectations, hopes, worries; and so on and so on and so forth.

If you do so, all of that can, and will, reshape itself.

And, in doing so, moments and experiences — along with all that such things contain and engender — that align with “The Sun” will present themselves to you.

Conclusion

Just to wrap this up, thank you for reading!

My hope is that the two rituals outlined above help you live a truly rich, abundant life.

No matter what, though, best wishes and, of course, have a great day!
