Main Theme: To develop sacrificial love

Positive Personality Aspects: A spiritual pioneer and also a pioneer in the concrete, material world. Is very aligned to the truth. Possesses a lot of wisdom but does not show off with it. Is willing to sacrifice themself for a higher cause. Often works without asking for money. (This is meant in the best sense ~ gives without expecting anything in return.) Is objective and can, once having embarked on a task, see exactly how it will end up. An idealist who manifests ideas in a practical way. Equality for women is a matter of concern for this person. Has no problems at all with sexuality. Understands the material side of life very well.

Blocks: Harbours a lot of frustration, resentment, and anger from the past. Has possibly been very affected by a material loss. On the one hand, suffers as far as worldly matters are concerned; on the other hand, is very focused on the material world and sensuality. Has had a lot of conflicting experiences in life and cannot cope with them. Demands a personal revelation (from the universe) but that may not happen because this person is too tense.

Spiritual Level: Facilitates the process of initiation and transformation of the self. Creates a clear channel for energy. Leaders experience humility when using this substance. The feeling of being disconnected from existence is reduced.

The Tarot Card: 10 Swords shows the giving up, but also the dawn of a new day, the beginning of hope.

Mental Level: Brings about clarity of thought. Helps to stop identifying with everything, as well as to let go of resentment.

Emotional Level: Frees the individual from the feeling that they are not being heard. Resolves anger and frustration and helps to transform these emotions in a positive way. Useful in overcoming childhood traumas, as well as the sense of being a martyr.

Physical Level: Helps with sexual problems of all kinds and with lack of energy. Acts as a detoxicant.

Affirmation: I have the energy to follow my ideals.

Distinctive Qualities: Part of the Master Set. Helps to awaken the kundalini power. Supports the process of coping with possible sexual abuse. The Tarot card, "Ten of Swords," as well as this substance, relate to the test that shows whether or not someone is able to take on spiritual responsibility.
