RE: Another point of view

 

Hello Antoine:

 

What an interesting perspective on the Star. I've never thought of this

card

as a 'female' card though I have seen the card depicted as the Goddess

Inanna. To me this card has always represented the light that we

discover

within ourselves after the falling of the Tower....nothing is left

externally so one at that points finds the light of life within the

self.

However, I can easily see the connection to the mother/creative

principal of

life. On a numerological level 17 equals 8 which is considered the

'pranic

body' and of course, prana is behind all manifestation and mothers are

also

behind every physical creation/manifestation. It is always comforting

to

see how all systems eventually teach the same truths.

Hello Linda,

 

Yes, it is comforting to see how each system that creates itself in its

uniqueness comes to express the truth, as if the truth was always

expressing itself to itself. I find a marvellous light to the star after

the falling of the tower. There is another one, when one goes the other

way around when one goes up Jacob's latter back to home base. The star

shines of the light after the moon has passed. Like I once said to Dan

on this list, there is also an other way, among so many, to see the

star, where the star is all, a huge mandala, pointing to this eternal

Bindu. And when one goes from a state to an other state, the star to the

moon or the star to the falling tower or, why not?, the star to Ain, or

any "other" _secret_ state, the "Bindu" will always be there as

"comfort" in this multidimensional mandala, circle without a centre, or

a centre without a circumference, something that is nothing. This absurd

world in which the star shines so beautifully, like a flower to the sun.

Ever looked at the black sky full of stars, seeing in them so many small

white flowers pooping to your inner eye that is looking? It's not the

Truth, but such a beautiful experience that is no more a lie than saying

that this planet turns around the sun

 

Another point of view,

 

With love and amazement,

 

Antoine
