Self deception is the slayer of souls. There are many worlds organized by many concepts; explained by paradigms embodied by symbols. How one understands any world depends on the lens used to view that world. There is the external and internal world and the world in between. In every era contemplative individuals look at their world differently and formulate a perspective, memes that can lead to new world orders, group dynamics, cultural cohesion, religious dogma and conflict.
Conflict, wars, rumours of wars; be it internal or external arises from a falling away, apostasy, fragmentation of any concept established as norm. Whatever the platform, belief system or standpoint adopted is reflected internally and externally in ones demeanour. This Jungian dissociation of the anima / animus principles is part of the disintegration of one’s outlook of the world and all that world is comprised of. Mainstream resistance is often futile. The sheep are those in any era that do not look, contemplate but rely on others to think for them; are in a prison made of repetitive thoughts of others that the empath makes their own it is their nature and a gift when they realize it can lead to wholeness, when the shadow of anima / animus is integrated. Numbed in the silence of fear of one’s own inner fire, distracted by guilt, dulled in their awareness. Religiosity meme of sin imposed on the followers are mere lies that deceived the pure, innocence essence of the soul and it’s memory of self. When, who, what, where and how one thinks one is; or told to believe forms one’s system of judgment. Discretion itself lays silent in such circumstances waiting expression.
Unlearning the reality imposed upon ones self due to the perception of temptation and sin, confirmation biases is part of the Cassandra complex or syndrome. The closer one gets to the truth of any matter and even telling of one’s truth, secrets of the world one discovers there is push back, criticism that can lead to internal conflict, doubt and despair. The refusal to be controlled, parented by the scripted illusion is a powerful force that his story and her story has well documented. This power source that can expose and transform what lies within and beneath external environmental mood is systematically suppressed; by the those who fear loss, threatened to maintain what is established as their norm, modus operand um. Powerful symbols are hidden to keep one unaware, caged, veiled in fear, submissive, barefoot and pregnant, controlled by the bearer of the symbols and it’s hidden message. Symbols may be static or like a shifting perspective, a continuous shift, dynamic interplay of energies.
What one believes, one attracts or repels. The kybalion is a hermetic philosophy of ancient Egypt and Greece containing 7 Principles of Mental-ism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and effect, Gender. There is no shortcut to perfection, understanding these Principles can assist one negotiating the world within and external to self.
Many concepts of the world are symbolized in the Tarot. A system of divination, of which are many decks with many interpretations. They all convey a foundational system of discernment despite the interpreter. The world in traditional Tarot is seen as the universe or a coming home. It is the last card in the major arcana, representing completion of a cycle, sense of fulfillment, successful outcome, closure, resolution, the end of the fool’s journey and the seed of a new journey, a balance and healing within the self, unconscious / conscious integration. Reversed it signifies stagnation, slow down in the flow of events, unable to close a chapter, disappointment, lack of imagination, failure to carry projects right through to the end. The tarot world card shows a woman in centre surrounded by a mandorla, a radiant cloud that can represent limitations. A treadmill keeping the person fully occupied, an illusion of a reality, samsara to the Buddhist. It can keep one walled in if one fails to cast off these restrictions from time to time. It is a personal reset, part of the process of re birthing. The cosmos, the planet does this naturally and enforced by peoples actions / reactions to others, personal relationships and within the greater collective consciousness.
The Gnostic world view is varied. There are many perspectives of the Cathar or Bon hommes, Sethian, Valentinians, Zostrianos, Mani, early gnostic Christian concepts that became foundation for many western religious organizations. Zoroastrian, Emmanuel Swedenborg, Emanation theory, Daskalos teachings, metaphysical concepts, Alchemy, Kabbalah, Sufi, Ancient Sumerian concepts, Biblical, Determinism and clockwork universe concepts. Metaphysical world covers the concept of Dimensions. Philosophic concepts. Spiritual, psychological concepts under the umbrella term of pneumatic. Psychic umbrella covers the mental world. Hylic umbrella covers the material world, consumerism, commercialism. Scientific concepts. All these concepts have an esoteric and exoteric perspective. Yet within all are microcosms, differing fractions or groups of thought, subdivisions or world view they perpetuate. Classic example of the Hermetic order of the golden dawn organized in ~1902. Their history is well documented as is the fascinating history of the Tarot itself. Pamela Colman Smith was the artist who drew the now famous Rider Waite Smith deck of cards. Their organization was at odds with each other. They had at least two groups focusing on different aspects, the devil within Alaister Crowley as he is so characterized these days also drew his set of Tarot cards. It is said people are always riding the devils back. The devil is called Yaldaboath in religious parlance; that is god that others of a different perspective vocalize. I mention this as Pamela Colman Smith is part of my personal family tree. She and Waite did not see eye to eye and Crowley had his own agenda. The witch craft act was abolished in England on 26 June 1951 and the world of Hermetic order of the golden dawn went under dissolution. Much that has been written about her is erroneous and contrived including her birth, death and in between.
During this era the earth was in the midst of a great shift. There have been many before and there will be more again. It was the age of Tartaria the light, frequency was different than this present age is experiencing. A shift from 432HZ the love frequency to 440HZ mechanized, industrial frequency. The oxygen and other essential elemental s changed. Giants and people, species changed in appearance, attitude, DNA changed. Some have biases to these changes but for success and happiness stop think, contemplate what the universe has given you and what is is asking you to do, what part to play in this constantly changing world.
Panspermia is a principle of consciousness. Earth is seen as a vehicle for conscious life. A real world phenomena described in differing terms by different groups. The earth has an electro magnetic field, unified field theory, neuroscience, akashic records, etheric plain, space, Metaphysical tablet of destiny. Each person has their own electro magnetic field that creates interference patterns in the earth field.
In the appropriate frae of mind anyone can access the information within this transformational realm. This is a gift that can be developed. Empaths hat have integrated their shadows, overcome fear of self, mastered their emotions can excel in this area of divination, channelling, clairvoyance, it has many names. The ability to feel an other’s feelings, that is specific frequency resonance sense the interference patterns, remembering a memory, noticing, are aware of these cell memories in the past, present and future of self, and others collective unconscious and sub conscious. This ability like all forces can be used for good or evil, for self or others. When one has the gift self determination is a valuable key to unlocking how it functions within ones self and how to use it or wield that sword.
The Tarot deck usually contains Major arcana, minor arcana. Arcana means hidden. The minor arcana has four suits corresponding to the four elements. A vignette of the Book Of Life as named by the Bon hommes. Attainment of the world of the Tarot is a discipline encountered by all seekers, the consolamentum is the World card with world of light, world of dark representing upright / reversed readings. The elements framing the world card. The elements that make up a human being.
Water represents emotions, love, family, protection.
Air the suit of swords. Intellect, authority, judgment, courage.
Fire is action, movement, the suit of wands / staffs. Enterprise, creativity, practicality.
Earth, pentacles, matter, finance, trade, business ventures.
There are many philosophies, interpretations of the world itself, systematized, religiosity, secret societies, myths, legends, group dynamics, parental view points. These memeplexes form the basis of their dogma, the way” to be in the world “and added to this in some belief systems ‘not of the world”. The world card or Duniya (Arabic parlance) signifies a return to one’s true nature, higher self is another term for this. It is a re birthing process, outer circumstances have led you to a sacred place within oneself. Not all goals, journeys are externally quantifiable. 1. The heart brain coherence that resonates at 0.1Hz triggers self healing. As one shifts awareness from the “mind” to the heart. This is not the brain. Touch the heart center physically creates awareness there. Or use a rose quartz crystal.
2. Slow breathing ~5seconds inhale, 5 seconds exhale. Feel safe as breathing continues. 3. Feel the “mood/ feeling” that creates 0.1Hz the coherence as you experience emotional regulation. Words like and of appreciation, gratitude, care compassion can help build this coherence frequency and feeling in the heart, as you breathe. It may not be instantaneous be gentle on the self give your self at least 72hours in blocks of time / space you can manage. In the words of Kahlil Gibran” Work is Love made visible”
