When the events of the Nine of Swords reaches its final stage, we find the Ten of Swords. Guilt and shame is aggression turned inwards, and unconsciously drives us to send our aggression outwards. Our internal worlds and external worlds are mirrors of each other after all. If one should follow the path of fear, shame, and guilt, we find the inevitable conclusion: our greatest fears are now made manifest. The lesson of the suit of Swords is the power of our own minds to create our realities. Should we constantly expect pain, we will receive it. Should we expect love, respect and happiness, we will receive it too.
