Thank you.
Plant Medicine – Truth
The key word here is Truth. Have you been fed misinformation, a distortion of the truth, or a complete fallacy that bears no resemblance to the truth? At work, in your personal life, from a friend or partner in business or a relationship?
Shamans use plants to induce an Altered State of Consciousness. In this state, they journey to learn and understand the truth and return that to their client, you, to help you understand what is happening around you and allow you to decide on how to proceed.
The decision will be whether you want your world and the people and things in it to remain the same or change. Allowing things to remain the same will mean continuing in a sort of dream state, where reality differs from what you understand and believe.
If you decide to accept Plant Medicine – the truth, things will never be the same and that is exciting but also requires courage.
Closing Door – Completion
This card brings a message that reinforces Plant Medicine – Truth.
A cycle has ended, a stage in your life has completed. As Plant Medicine spoke about misinformation and your courage to take an alternative path, Closing Door tells you an end has come. Now is the time to move on.
For you to move on, you need to recognise that a job, a place, a relationship, a friendship have nothing for you now. A friendship or relationship you hoped would grow and expand has not. The time is now to stop knocking on doors that will not open. The reason for these hopes not materialising is that they are not right for you.
Your life purpose, and the things that fuel it and benefit you, are elsewhere. You need to recognise that false hopes and dreams drain your energy and create an emotional cage you must break out of. You are asked to take a different direction and break the cage you have created for yourself.
The door that is closing has given you many lessons. Be thankful for what you have learned. Now, move on.
What next?
