So many things can wound our spirits. We live in a troubled realm, the Babylon Matrix, and we incarnated into fragile, corporeal bodies. The world can wound our spirits with many forms of oppression — social, political, environmental, health problems, financial circumstances, and interpersonal issues. Overwhelming shocks can wound our spirit in ways from which it is hard to recover fully — the death of a child, war trauma, abandonment, rape, etc. Our spirits may be just as deeply wounded and fragmented from the amalgamation of a billion smaller causes, inner and outer — looping negative thoughts, addictions, surrender to lazy inertia, stagnant relationships, oppressive bureaucracies, and so on and so forth.

What does it take to revive a wounded spirit? If you feel called to intervene with another spirit, it will take everything you have, at least while you are doing the intervention, and often, that won't be enough. If you are doing a self-intervention, if this card means that your spirit is wounded, then one of the shortest paths to reviving it is to start doing what you came to human incarnation to do, what you will remember well on your deathbed. Get out of soured "internal considering" — focusing on everything from your POV, your likes and dislikes, your pain and deprivations, and so on. Instead, focus on and practice external considering (focusing on what others need). If in doubt, focus out. Don't wait until you feel like doing this. Meanwhile, "act as if," go through the motions, physically start doing the work, and take steps on the path of heart even if at first you don't feel them, especially if inner or outer forces test you with resistance. The best hope for your wounded spirit is to take responsibility for reviving it.
