This has a name, it is the death of the little ego, to the Soul, the death of

the personality, which is then used as a tool, following only the intuition

from Soul and then Spirit, which is a later path. Many deaths upon the

wheels, all of us seeking in humility the divine guidance.

 

My k is still extremely high, so, it is very easy to make errors, several

times tonight i've had to re-read emails a few times and then wondered if

they made sense when they went out.

 

But I enjoy so much the listening to all of your thoughts, all of you, i do

not wish to leave anyone out, so, i will not list you, but it is like we look

at God from all different directions, I think it was Max (?) who said this

earlier, and each contributes from where they are to what they see, and so

then we get a more beautiful hologram of the face of the Divine.

 

If this didn't make sense and you then respond, I'll just say yes, *g* okay?

LOL

Where no one laughs, The Fool

 

"If anyone among you thinks that he is in this age, let him (or her)

become a fool that he (she) may become wise. For the wisdom of this

world is FOLLY with God." (I Corinthians iii, 18-19)

 

Now the arcanum "The Fool" has a double meaning. As a model and as a

warning at the same time. For on the one hand it teaches the freedom of

transcendental consciousness elevated above the things of this world,

and on the other hand it clearly presents a very impressive warning of

the peril that this elevation comprises - lack of concern, inadequacy,

irresponsibility and RIDICULE (for which i participate as an offer of

mine to Maha Mahatma Sri Gloria Swami, burning incense in adoration as i

type these words)... in a word MADNESS.

 

The arcanum "The Fool" has in fact these two meanings. It reaches

transcendental consciousness and it warns of its peril. It deals with

two modes of sacrificing the intellect (sacrificium intellectus). For

the intellect can be sacrificed in two different ways; it can be "placed

in the service" of transcendental consciousness or it can be simply

"abandoned".

 

To pass beyond the intellect is therefore to render it overactive,

whilst to bypass the intellect is to reduce it to complete passivity.

 

The arcanum "The Fool" of the tarot is therefore that of the Hermetist's

method of sacrificing the intellect to spirituality in such a way that

it grows and marriage the opposites (coniunctio oppositorum, i.e. the

conjunction of opposites) it is the alchemical work of the union of

human wisdom, which is FOLLY in the eyes of God, with the divine wisdom,

which is FOLLY in the eyes of man, in such a way that the result is not

a double folly but rather a single wisdom which understands both that

which is above and that which is bellow."

It will be a pleasure Maha Mahatma Sri Gloria Swami, to offer my service

so i may do readings or interpretations according to the forms of the

aliment on your plate before you eat them, or by the trace your

footprints leaves on the sand, or any drawings your hand should make.
