TAROT AND MTC. THE TAO OF THE TEMPERANCE.
This Arcane, the truth is that he has given me many headaches. I have even had to review the meaning of this letter from the view of other authors. And I was surprised to see that it is a YANG Nature card, whose element is Fire.
Temperance tells us about balance. Being centered, in harmony with the mind and body and, in the middle, the Sacred Spirit, Consciousness. That Higher Being who, in the letter, is represented by the Angel. By trusting us, by placing our trust in the Wisdom of our Heart (the place where our Shen / Consciousness sleeps) everything flows in our life in a calm and harmonious way.
Yin and Yang intermingle brilliantly, tempering mood and emotions. We become Unconditional Love, that which understands, accepts and integrates.
United Yin and Yang, like the water in the jars that the Angel empties to fill one and then the other. A blue jug (in the Tarot de Marseille) and a red jug; Mind and emotion Thought and feeling, flowing harmoniously in our Being, together creating Consciousness.
In Reiki, there is talk of the "Heart Centering"; It is from the Temperance that our heart can be centered to illuminate our Shen.
In Gassho Meditation and greeting, joined hands to temper emotion and thought, in soft and serene tranquility.
So is this letter, the second step to the total Realization. The second 7. The Arcane XIIII.
Reaching self-healing is the most beautiful gift we could receive. Be able to walk free of unnecessary loads and attachments.
But we all know that to heal you have to go through a valley of pain and tears; Tears we couldn't cry in the past.
When this letter lacks energy, it hides its tears in a corner of its soul, it keeps the heart in a little box and forgets to feel, because the feeling hurts. However, he forgets, that over time those tears will rot inside him and his body will swell, his heart will accelerate, his breathing will be cut. Pain, anger, sadness seek a way out and will find it anyway.
That's when we stand without going anywhere, just like our energy and, in the end, physical pain will take center stage in our lives.
But what happens when this card has plenty of energy. We can cry a lot, we can scream a lot, but there will never be comfort or cure. The heart forgot about a past that goes through our pores and, although we cry like mourners, our tears will never dry.
Nobody said life was easy, but it was worth living. To feel is to live, do not be afraid to be alive.
THE TAROT AND THE MTC. THE TAO OF THE DEVIL
When Beauty in the World is recognized
You learn what ugliness is;
When the Goodness in the World is recognized
You learn what Evil is.
Tao Te King.
We are in the world of polarity. From Yin and Yang. Of white and black. That is why the Tao of this Arcanum invites us not to criticize him, nor to judge him, because everything that is Bad one day was good. All that is a slave, one day it was free.
I had no intention of relating the Tao to the Devil, but as I read that phrase from the Tao Te King, I realized that I was going to make a big mistake.
A few days ago we talked about Cardinal or Morales Virtues, those that told us about prudence, temperance, etc. But the fact that they do not exist in a human being does not mean that there are no vices.
A baby knows neither of prudence (he does not care to cry at three in the morning), nor of temperance (When he wants something he wants it already), a baby is like a small animal that has no measure of things. His instincts do not allow it; Are we to judge him of having no virtues? The Arcanum of the Devil invites us to think and discern between a basic and fundamental instinct and a low and more developed instinct.
The Tao of the Devil leads us to respect the most basic instincts that help us survive and grow, so, one day, have the opportunity to look at the surroundings in a virtuous way.
How to talk about this letter so that you see it as a clear image.
A long, long time ago in a kingdom by the sea, my beloved Annabel Lee lived, this is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe and tells of the love a boy felt For a young girl there in 1800. Both young people lived happily without worrying about anything, they laughed, they dreamed they loved each other. But one day the terrible death with his icy hands took away the body of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
So far, a romantic story with a sad ending.
But no, because I'm here to talk about the spells that the Devil casts on mortals.
The young man's love for Annabel was so great that he decided to do something crazy, out of focus.
He decided to go to the crypt where his beloved was buried and stay by his side to continue loving her. Never mind that decomposition and destruction will devour the sweet girl's body
And his.
This is how the Devil acts.
Although this letter has a lot of energy or little, it turns virtue into vice, love into slavery and madness, opinions into limiting patterns that don't let us breathe.
Long, long time ago, in a kingdom by the sea ... The Devil released his energy to weaken ours and turn it into darkness. But do not forget, also next to the sea there is a lighthouse that gives us Light.
