“Every illusion you create, no matter how small, tips the life-force-scale off balance. To shy away from reality, turns you captive in your life story.“
The 7 of Challenges is to pave the way for reality as opposed to seeking out an ideal. Everything is as it is and there to serve you in its own unique way. To tuck it away and live an illusion is like living on an earth with a constant solar eclipse.
The 'Nan Yar - Who Am I' card game for personal development includes four colors - or groups - of fourteen cards each. We know these colors from normal card games and the Tarot game as well. The colors represent the Challenges, Insights, Gifts and Tools that everyone has in his or her life. Besides the colors, the game has 21 Trump Cards, or Archetypes, that each have their own Challenge, Insight, Gift or Tool.
The Challenges reflect the incentives every human being encounters on its path that force that person to come into action and create its own life, true to its core. It is the development of the I-consciousness, the nucleus of who you really are, that is at play here, as opposed to the masks people tend to wear in certain situations. Challenges are void of any pretence or make belief. They are so to speak: the real thing, that travels with its rightful owner no matter where that owner goes. It’s the thing one cant hide from or escape. In the game of Tarot, Challenges coincide with Swords.
Element: Fire
Characteristic: Re-birth, Eternity.
Every number has a unique energy, and therefore a unique meaning and role in the interpretation of the card, in combination with the color or the archetype.
The 7 is the number which rounds the basics of what you need. From here, you can add extra’s with the 8, 9 and 10. Seven is the number that completes the conditions for doing something. From here, we add soul and spiritual elements to the physical whole.
