Superabundance: The Only Limit Is You

What if the universe had no limits to the blessings it could bestow upon you?

One of my favourite reimagined Tarot cards is the Ten of Vessels (normally Cups) in the Wild Wood Tarot. Its picture is a watery cascade flowing over green, mossy rocks, creating dozens of separate water flows. At the bottom of this opulent waterfall are ten bowls and the water fills them to overflowing.

Just as this metaphorical water fills each bowl to the brim, life can also offer us more than we even believe we deserve.

When I first heard the word ‘superabundance’ the image on this card immediately sprang to mind, because superabundance is opulence, profusion, overflowing excess, surplus, receiving over and above and moving even beyond abundance. Abundance itself means more than enough, but superabundance is more than ‘more than enough’.

This favourite Tarot card of mine has deep layers of profound truth about this hidden in plain view, especially when we superimpose further Kabbalistic wisdom over it.

The official meaning of the Ten of Vessels card, according to the Wild Wood guidebook, is the generous fulfilment of desires from a source that is pure and cleansing. It signifies a sense of homecoming, finding true and lasting happiness, safety and beauty and basking in the healing rays of affection and warmth.

It is about bathing in a fountain of opportunity where the only limit, as for the vessels at the bottom of the falls, is your personal capacity to receive.

This aligns very much with the Kabbalistic worldview, where blessings flow down the Tree of Life from the Sephirot or emanation called Binah. Binah is one of the three upper spiritual dimensions. It is the divine sphere of understanding, where infinite possibilities begin to take shape, giving form to the flow of blessings that manifest into reality.

It is the source of all blessings, where everything begins gathering some sort of form, whether it is a new substance, a new deal, a new project, your monthly pay cheque, a new relationship, everything… And Binah, just like the dimensions above it, has no limitations in what it can bestow.

The concept of superabundance in Tarot and the Kabbalah both offer a similar lesson: That limits exist only within us.

So, what if the abundance flowing to you were really flowing from ‘Source’, a source that is pure and cleansing and truly infinite? What if there was more than enough for you and everybody else and if Source was an endless force of blessings and beneficence?

The first important truth that follows is that superabundance is not something to be ashamed of. It could never corrupt you and you wouldn’t be taking it from anybody else when you received it. Your receiving would not be an ‘embarrassment of riches’.

It would not be anything but a personal choice, a celebration of your growth and your willingness to expand. Being gifted more healing, purity, cleansing and more potential made real can never be inappropriate or bad when you look at the world this way.

The second truth is that the only real limitation is your receiving capacity and that this is a limit you yourself impose on it. Some of the ways we do this are obvious, some less so.

Which of these limitations are you imposing on your blessings?

• The amount of yearning we act upon for our desires is one limitation. It is not only about visualisation and embodiment but taking inspired action. It demands that you move a little so that the Universe can move a lot. Take action: Act on your desires with confidence, even if you are unsure of the outcome.
• The beliefs and expectations we have about whether we will achieve them also limit our receiving. What thoughts and emotions are running through your mind daily? Are you aware of them and can you change your energetic state from a primal state (filled with fear, reactivity and fight or flight tendencies) to a powerful one (filled with coherence, trust and gratitude) more often intentionally?
• Even speaking about our level of blessing to others locks them into a specific level of limitation. That lower frequency energy of ‘look at me and how well I am doing’ is imposing a limit.
• We also limit our receiving by trying to control how we receive the blessings because there are infinite ways for it to happen. Don’t try to define the path or the route, just imagine the end result, in broad strokes and then walk your path in grace.
• If our vessels are filled with all sorts of disappointments, grievances and past trauma cluttering all the internal space, our capacity to receive this blessed water of life dwindles. Take action by doing the healing work, releasing, forgiving and cleansing your emotions, energy and being.

So here are some takeaways and practices:

• Do a spiritual practice every day where you seek and open yourself up to the superabundant flow of the waterfall of money, ideas, creativity, love, joy, spiritual connection and other blessings.
• Gratitude is a key component of this. Write a letter to the Universe, do some gratitude journalling or just say thank you more often, even for the small things.
• Spend more time in nature with her coherent, abundant energy. It is very entraining and beneficial to your entire energy system.
• Understand that the circuitry of life requires giving and receiving. As you focus on receiving your blessing, feel the joy of sharing it too. In fact, when you visualise your dream coming true, visualise it happening for everyone else also wanting to manifest the same thing.

Increase your vessel’s capacity to receive, to hold, to anchor. Step into the waterfall with joy, and have fun expanding your consciousness, your receiving vessel and your spiritual capacity.

The only limit is you.

Keywords:

• Generous fulfilment of desires from a source that is pure and cleansing;
• Reward for patience and love given selflessly;
• True emotional stability and freedom.

Meaning:

With deep and profound calm of true and lasting happiness flowing through your life, a sense of homecoming, safety and beauty shines from an individual that lights others’ lives and is infectious to everyone. Healing rays of affection and warmth radiate from your inner core. For those in love, the joy is in the sharing of tender and intimate support and understanding. Giving love and seeing that love reflected in the eyes of the one you care for is the most powerful and healing magic known to mankind. For those who thrive on happiness derived from the fulfilment of ambitions and life goals, happiness is fuelled by a sense of affirmation of self-worth and ideals. Being effective and productive in the practical world brings a sense of stability which can be shared and used as a vehicle to motivate and inspire others. No greater act of humanity can be achieved than by showing the way and opening a person’s heart to the possibility of happiness. However much we love, however much we achieve, we empower ourselves to be emotionally alive by accepting that the circuit of life requires giving, as well as receiving. As we revel in the bliss of the journey, we remember with gratitude the patience, wisdom and synchronicity that brought that blessing into our lives.
