Reality, what even is that?

Welcome back to another edition of The Soul Letter 🤍

 

I am so grateful to have you in this cozy corner with me for our weekly reset. As we move through our day-to-day lives, it’s so easy to get caught up in the noise of the world around us and forget how much power we hold over our own perception.

 

Let’s grab a warm drink, slow down, and take a deep breath together.

🕊️ An Honest Note from the Thick of It: Reality Is a State of Mind

Are you choosing heaven or hell?

 

We create our own world, yes, but that creation is heavily influenced by our current environment, our relationships, and the physical reality we are living in right now. Trying to change that reality can often feel like trying to turn the Titanic on a dime: you’re heading straight for the iceberg, trying to alter course, while simultaneously trying to slow down after going at full speed. It feels completely impossible.

 

Even when we know exactly what would create our heaven, we become consumed by how long it will take, or whether we’ll have enough resources to get there. We end up talking ourselves right out of even attempting to build a better world for ourselves.

 

Here are three truths to hold onto when you feel stuck in that loop:

  1. Time is a human construct. We don't actually understand time in its true form because we live in a three-dimensional world, and time exists outside of our dimensional framework. 

  2. Resources are not finite. Resources are simply tools we use to shape our world. They are as replenishable as we empower them to be.

  3. Your mind is governed by the Observer, You. The Ego mind is constantly vying for your attention, and it knows fear is its most enticing tactic. The Higher Mind, however, holds all the answers to the reality you truly deserve. It will never fight for your attention; instead, it waits patiently for you to ask. You, as the observer, choose every day, every hour, and every minute which voice will act as your advisor.


You can have whatever you genuinely want. However, if a desire is born out of the influence of the Ego mind, you will outgrow it almost immediately once you receive it. You will quickly see that its foundation was built on an illusion born of fear. This becomes a repetitive cycle, until you choose to step back, ask better questions, and consult the right Mind.

 

🕯️ Which voice are you allowing to advise your decisions today: the quiet wisdom of your Higher Mind, or the loud panic of the Ego?

🌊 Deep Waters: On Confusion

Confusion is such a heavy, disorienting state, but it isn't our natural way of being. Yet so many of us have been conditioned to exist in a perpetual state of confusion; to the point where, if things ever feel calm and clear, we assume something must be wrong.

 

At its root, confusion usually happens when we are listening to fear, but our bodies and intuition are actively rejecting that way of thinking. It is not an indicator of a lack of intelligence or capability; it is simply a signal that it’s time to stop, refocus our thoughts, and step back into the position of the Observer.

 

When you take the emotion of confusion personally, and take on the exhausting responsibility of trying to "figure it all out" with an anxious mind, you will likely remain trapped in a false reality of despair or danger.

 

The next time confusion creeps in, try not to fight it or force a solution. Treat it as an indicator from your soul to stop analyzing, drop out of the noise in your head, and ask the small still voice for a way, an answer, or simply guidance. Clarity doesn't come from forcing an answer; it comes from listening to the part of your mind that holds the truth.

 

🕯️ Where in your life are you treating confusion as a problem to solve, rather than a signal to stop and step back into the Observer?

🔮 Weekly Card Reflection

This Week’s Cards: (Pictured below)

Four of Swords & Memories (Cherish Memories of Loved Ones)

 

If you’ve been holding onto tension, trying to force clarity, or feeling the weight of the past, this week’s cards arrive as a gentle invitation to lay down your armor.

 

The Four of Swords is traditionally known as the card of rest, but looking closely at the imagery, it’s about something much deeper: integration. Notice the heart lying beside the resting figure, its thread woven directly into the nest surrounding her. True rest isn't just physical sleep; it is the sacred space where our hearts integrate new truths, process quiet emotions, and weave us back into wholeness.

 

When paired with Memories, an extraordinary bridge appears. In the oracle card, a woman rests surrounded by greenery, dreaming of another world, and that memory bubble forms a wing on her back.

 

So often, the Ego uses memories to trap us in longing, regret, or the fear of loss. But when we allow ourselves to quiet the mind, memories cease to be heavy weights. Instead, they become wings. The love we carry from those who came before us, and the moments that shaped our hearts, become the very fuel that lifts us into peace.

 

Your Focus for the Week:

  • Redefine rest: Treat downtime not as "wasted time," but as an essential period of integration for your mind and soul.

  • Let love lift you: Notice when past memories feel heavy, and intentionally shift to honoring the love within them as a source of strength.

  • Allow the integration: Give yourself permission to step away from trying to figure everything out. Let your Higher Mind weave the answers while you rest.
