Nine of Swords · Troubled thoughts

Troubled thoughts through thought and language: Station 9, Yesod, in Yetzirah.

Understand the idea

An anxious or painful account may feel especially convincing in isolation. Name the thought as a thought and consider what support or grounded information would help. In Babylon’s numbered-card address, Nine identifies Station 9, Yesod, and Swords identifies Yetzirah, the lens of thought and language. The current daily action word is FEEL. The card image’s theme and the station’s action word provide two related teaching prompts; they are not interchangeable definitions.

MAKE IT PRACTICAL

An example to work with
