Don’t Let Negative Thoughts Destroy You: King of Swords Reversed

Whatever you do, don't let your thoughts pummel you into the pits of hell. Yes, that is a profound statement, I know. But the King of Swords appears in the reversed position.

And when this card presents itself in this manner, it's game's over.

The master manipulator arises. He pries into the mind of the weak and seeks to remove all that's good. Those who can't withstand his treachery fall prey. Thus, refuse his words, turn off the outside world.

If not, then what I see isn't others bringing destruction into your life. It's none other than you. You're driving yourself into madness. You manifest his reality, not yours, from the whispers you hear. They're pushed into your subconscious, programming your next move.

Remember, what you believe becomes the world around you. So my advice: stop listening to others! Don't let their fear control you.

When you hear words of negativity swirl about, shut them down. Stop the fall. Scream from the rooftops, "Not today, Satan, I'm not having it."

Then, once you commit, once you silence the noise, life vibrates at a higher level. Those butterflies on the King's throne appear for your transformation. Use your power. Ignore the demons within. For all they are, destruction to everything you love. Because words create thoughts, and thoughts manifest into reality.

A man may rise to high success in the world, and even to lofty altitudes in the spiritual realm, and again descend into weakness and wretchedness by allowing arrogant, selfish, and corrupt thoughts to take possession of him.

— James Allen (Book: As a Man Thinketh)

So, then, turn to the light, seek the divine spark, and let darkness fade away. In the end, you control your destiny. It starts with every thought you believe to be true. Protect your mind. Don't let others influence you, force you into a state of anxiety.

Instead, let caution be your guide. Consume only what your intuition allows. Not the fears driven by others.
