This is a requested topic. The question is about the extent to which the higher self controls us.
Are we puppets on a string? Does the higher self try to guide us to happiness?
Let's see what the cards have to say...
In a nutshell, the reading shows that we are not puppets of the higher self, that we are more like shadows of the higher self. The great spirit that we call a higher self didn't necessarily create us, we are a side effect of it existing. It looks like we are a shadow of that being's suffering. This is an interesting concept to me.
Maybe we should work as hard to heal our higher selves as we do trying to receive healing from them.
The reading also suggests that when we are judged, it will be by our higher self rather than some other entity.
It looks like the best way to get the most out of our relationship with our higher selves, we should strive for new experiences and keep from holding on to so much that we can't move forward. Loops are bad for us and our great spirit.
Let me know if you have any insights into this.
Peace and long life, Hive.
