Stages of Truth

From the Nature Spirit Tarot, Judgment; from the Australian Wildflower Cards, 'Blue Gum Flower:'

          The multiple blooms of the trumpet flower and the nymph and adult phases of the damselflies reflect the stages humans go through as they develop and expand their understanding of truth. Our early stages generally define truth as it relates to what we want; middle stages see it as what corresponds to our beliefs and opinions. Yet those who come to a deeper awakening may see it as something far beyond either of those two views. Blue Gum (E.globulus) flowers are considered a good source of nectar and pollen for honey bees. With anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and decongestant properties, its leaves are the primary source of global eucalyptus oil production. Darcey assigns this flower the keyword 'healing.' Paired with the Judgment card, it implies a kinder view of those who lack a more inclusive view of truth. Everyone responds to the world around them based on the coping skills they've developed. Yet how we think about things can change, and no one awakens to a more holistic view without starting with small slices of it first.
