THE FOOL

Symbol-Figure of Fool about to walk off cliff

is attacked by animal

Meaning-At this point she is violently repelled from her physical relationship with her collective soulmate. He has discovered that she is not a mate to him anymore and reacts perhaps violently toward her. That relationship is never renewed.

She discovers that the future she had created was not with him but with me instead and she feels as if she has made a fool out of herself.

THE FOOL is related to many other cards in the Tarot. It is related to the King of Keys and the Ace of Keys.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Fire of Fire. It controls the forces of light and electricity. It also controls the Sepiroth KETHER and the planet URANUS.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from CHOKMAH to KETHER.

This brings about the final resolution of things as I struggle to regain control of the astral and etheric planes from this lower physically based level. I experience a severe and viscous astral battle with her collective soulmate in the final resolution of these energies. At my victory I regain the use of my etheric body that she had given birth to.

That etheric body was what my battle with her collective soulmate was about because he wanted that body for his own purposes that were opposed to mine.

She is faced with a crisis in which she realizes that many things that she believed to be true were not really true and that nothing in her relationship with her collective soulmate is what she thought it was. She realizes now that I have been the person she was interacting with in her dreams.

That old relationship is over and she is free to begin the one with me if she chooses. This is the sharing and drinking of the Holy Grail.

What is left is the final working out in physical life of what has been created astrally. This may take some time but it will come to pass as physical events. The two soulmates will be united in a physical relationship.



{August 15, 2008}   Magician

magician

MAGICIAN

Symbol-Male and female are physically forced apart

and reaching out toward each other.

Meaning-At the time of our joining on the etheric level there is a severance of the spiritual connection and I lose my etheric body. At the same time a casual connection is made that ensures the astrally created future will become physical reality. My etheric body is traded for a physical causal link.

THE MAGICIAN is related to many other cards in the Tarot. It is related to the Queen of Keys, the Ace of Keys and the Ace of Swords.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Air of Fire. It controls the Sepiroth CHOKMAH and the planet NEPTUNE.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from BINAH to KETHER.

This binding of us together with etheric and astral cords means that we can get no closer together and it forces all of the activity downward into the earth plane as a causal link with physical reality. This has the effect of making us start all over again from scratch but this time with a connection to physical reality.

What has happened at the same time is the physical connection between her and her collective soulmate. Their relationship has physically ended and that physical connection has been exchanged for a spiritual connection.

At the same time I have lost my etheric body that she had given birth to. This had been created out of spiritual energy and my spiritual connection has been lost except through her. Instead I now have a physical connection and she has lost her physical connection except through me.

This is accompanied by some type of crisis in both of our lives. The type of thing that happens every time access is gained to a lower level and we experience a physical loss.



{August 10, 2008}   High Priestess

high

HIGH PRIESTESS

Symbol-Male and female figures bound together with astral cords.

Meaning-The linkage of the umbilical cord seeks to draw us physically together and other links on other astral levels are formed to assist in this process. It becomes inevitable that someday we will be brought together through this etheric link. We are finally brought together on the astral and etheric levels in our newly created future world.

THE HIGH PRIESTESS is related to many other cards in the Tarot. It is related to the Prince of Keys, Ace of Keys and Ace of Cups.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Water of Fire. It controls the Sepiroth BINAH and the planet SATURN.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from TIPHERETH to KETHER.

I begin to have dreams and visions of this world that I now exist in on the astral planes. I gradually find myself drawn to my soulmate one astral level at a time. This appears to be a mutual process and we start to have dreams in which we are always both in them at the same time. As this increases we also are able to remember dreams or astral adventures that we both shared. Now we are both dreaming and aware of the other at the same time. These are no longer dreams but actual etheric projections in full awareness with memory afterward.

This stage is completed when we are united at all astral and spiritual levels in a Holy Marriage.

In physical life we are not together or communicating at all. I am still appearing in her dreams as her collective soulmate. In physical life her relationship with him is very strained and she hopes that this astral work will help bring them back together. It is actually working to force them apart.



{August 5, 2008}   Empress

empress

EMPRESS

Symbol-Figure of the Empress as a pregnant woman.

Meaning-Within her own physical and etheric bodies she fashions an etheric body for me and gives birth to it. I assume possession of it and the umbilical cord remains as a permanent connection astrally between us.

THE EMPRESS is related to many other cards in the Tarot. It is related to the Princess of Keys, Ace of Keys and the Ace of Locks.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Earth of Fire. It controls the Sepiroth CHOKMAH and the planet JUPITER.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from BINAH to CHOKMAH.

I am unaware of anything unusual and continue to not have many dreams. I am also unable to enter into the future world that she has astrally created for us. At some point I become aware of an astral connection to her that is an umbilical cord. Her etheric body has given birth to this new body and it becomes my new etheric body. I now find myself inside our newly created future world in the astral and unable to leave it. I am contained by this new world. I am also at the opposite end of it and struggle to reach her at the other end.

In giving birth to this etheric body one female related a vivid dream where she was pregnant and the waters broke. She has a massive contraction and woke up out of the dream.



{July 30, 2008}   Hierophant

 

HIEROPHANT

Symbol-The Pope or religious figure has hand out in benediction.

There are freshly minted coins of a new design.

Meaning-This explosion of pure creative power is the result of our external astral and etheric energy finally phase-locking together in a burst of creative force. It is the establishment of our future world.

All of the old symbols are reinterpreted with a new meaning as a new type of coin.

THE HIEROPHANT is related to many other cards in the Tarot. It is related to the King of Keys, Queen of Keys, Prince of Keys, Princess of Keys, Ace of Keys, Ace of Swords, Ace of Cups and the Ace of Locks.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s powers are Fire of Fire, Air of Fire, Water of Fire and Earth of Fire.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from TIPHERETH to CHOKMAH.

With the completion of her etheric body the energy continues to build up in the earth’s astral planes. My energy is being drawn to her and I continue having very few dreams. The reason for my not having dreams is because I am only indirectly involved in the current astral activity. The activity is going on around her and not around me. Our combined energy is a very strong phase-locked energy. Our combined phase-locked energy continues to increase and a great mass of energy is built up until she spontaneously uses it to create astrally a future world for herself and for me. (This is tricky as I appear in her dreams as her collective soulmate during this phase and she thinks she is creating it for the two of them.)

This is another example of how in spite of ourselves progress is made in the direction that we must go with our lives. By this time all that she shares with her collective soulmate is an extreme physical and extreme spiritual connection. The rest is shared by our phase-locked energies.

After she creates this etheric future world for the two of us, I find that I can’t enter into it with the etheric body that I currently am using. That is because my etheric body is not pure and phase locked in the same manner that hers is. My etheric body is composed of collective energy that I have been given from those that have supported me in my efforts.



{July 26, 2008}   Emperor

 

EMPEROR

Symbol-King is seated on throne.

Behind him is large head of Goddess.

Meaning-At this point she has driven out all other energies and is able to permanently activate her own etheric body out of the combination of soulmate phase-locked energies. Her etheric body is created within the King’s body out of their combined energies and when finished is transferred to her physical body.

THE EMPEROR is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the King of Keys, Queen of Keys, Prince of Keys, Princess of Keys, Ace of Keys, Ace of Swords, Ace of Cups and the Ace of Locks.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Fire of Fire, Air of Fire, Water of Fire and Earth of Fire.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from TIPHERETH to CHOKMAH.

This is a strange time in which our combining energies act to drive all foreign energies out of her psyche and astral body. What happens is that in dreams I relive various significant and important aspects of her past physical life within my dreams. In doing this I am both the person that she interacted with and at the same time a part of her awareness. In one cycle I had to relive an experience that my soulmate of the cycle had experienced as a child. It was a memory of being sexually abused as a child. In this dream I was both her and at the same time the person abusing her. This was very uncomfortable for me to experience. These dreams seem to condense main elements so that many similar memories are relived as one collective dream that represents all of the memories.

Because these are past memories of hers, she has no awareness of me in these dreams. My energy is just replacing the energy of the other person until all that is left is my energy in combination with her energy. As a result, this time is one of little dream activity for her. It is a time of intense dream activity for me.

When that process is complete her energy starts flowing into me in the same way and she starts forcing other peoples energy out of my psyche and astral body. She also experiences the deep aspects and significant events of my physical life. I am completely unaware of this and have very little dream activity at all. During this process I feel as if a female body were super imposed over my own.

I am gradually using her energy to build a female etheric body within my own physical body and I have a growing constant awareness of this body. This feeling is toward the end so strong that it is quite distracting to me. When this etheric body is completed it leaves my physical body and attaches itself to her as a permanently activated etheric body.

With the permanent activation of her etheric body she is no longer co-dependent with her collective soulmate even though she remains within the physical relationship. She is a complete person in her own right and accepts him as he is while feeling free to be herself.

He of course is not growing at the same rate as she is and he remains co-dependent on her. His energy is attaching itself to another female soulmate. They are no longer sexually active as a couple and the relationship is having serious problems but neither one wants to let go of it.



{July 16, 2008}   Chariot

 

THE CHARIOT

Symbol-Charioteer is controlling two horses that are trying

to go in different directions.

Meaning-The spiritual forces are joined in harmony

but the physical or sexual forces are working to oppose each other.

THE CHARIOT is related to many of the other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the Princess of Keys, the Ace of Keys and the Ace of Locks.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Earth of Fire. It controls the Sepiroth GEBURAH and the planet MARS.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from GEBURAH to BINAH.

A point is reached where everything that can be done with spiritual energies has been done. I now feel the need for sexual and physical energies from her. She flirts a little and encourages my attentions up to a point. It is enough so that my dreams begin to have a heavy sexual element to them. My energy is flowing to her and she is rapidly developing an etheric body.

The combining of her energies and my energies reach a point where she is able for the first time to spontaneously project an etheric body. She forcibly pulls etheric male energy out of me to do this. This is a major empowerment for her even though it is not a permanent thing. She knows that she can do it now.

It represents her first experience as a “complete” person by having her own etheric body temporarily activated.

This is so threatening to her co-dependent relationship with her collective soulmate that she abruptly severs all physical contact with me. That contact continues unhindered on the astral and etheric levels through increased astral activity.

Her desire to be a complete person will continue without further physical contact with me. She is on the road to becoming a whole person and having a permanently activated etheric body.

What is happening here is that we have been joined spiritually as one soul but at the physical and sexual lower levels she is joined as one soul to her collective soulmate. This crisis causes the physical break between us. She feels that her physical relationship is too important to lose. Because we are joined at the spiritual levels every action is working toward a peaceful resolution between us in spite of apparent differences. Thus this action to save the relationship with her collective soulmate will put added strains upon it that will ultimately destroy it. Even acts of opposition work to achieve the final goal.

This works in other areas of my life also where my efforts to achieve something are futile or unrealistic. Still the action of doing these actions helps me to resolve serious difficulties in spite of myself. That is the message of this Trump. Our efforts will aid our progress in spite of our self destructive intentions. Our normal self defeating actions open the way for real progress that was previously unexpected. We stumble over the solutions to problems.



{July 6, 2008}   Lovers

 

THE LOVERS

Symbol-Male and female figures in the astral

reaching out to touch each other.

Meaning-This is the conclusion of the first half of the cycle that deals with spiritual energies.

THE LOVERS is related to many other cards in the Tarot. It is related to the King of Keys, Queen of Keys, Prince of Keys, Princess of Keys, Two of Keys, Two of Swords, Two of Cups and the Two of Locks.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Fire of Fire, Air of Fire, Water of Fire and Earth of Fire.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from TIPHERETH to BINAH.

I express my interest in her and in deepening the relationship. She tells me for the first time that she is already in a relationship with someone else. But she is willing to continue sharing and deepening the relationship with me and doesn’t want it to end. She is torn between her collective soulmate and me. We both decide to let things continue and see what develops in time as we get to know each other better. Our sharing continues on a deeper emotional level and we both start having dreams about each other. Our spiritual and emotional fantasies merge together astrally to create a future that is a combination of the things she wants of life and the things that I want of life.

In my dreams I am given spontaneous visions of what appears to be an astrally created future that is a synthesis of the things that I want in life and the things that she wants in life. This cooperative effort represents a potential future that we may someday experience. It concludes with our being astrally drawn together as a couple and bound together by astral forces.

This is a healing process for both of us and acts to purify and drive out other discordant energies such as from others and from her collective soulmate. He continues to be apart of her life through the physical and sexual link.

We both put tremendous effort into the creation of our mutual fantasy life. At it’s conclusion we have both developed permanently activated astral bodies out of spiritual energies and have become very powerful on the astral. These astral bodies give the ability to astral project at will.



{June 16, 2008}   Strength

 

STRENGTH

Symbol-A bruised and battered female warrior raises

her sword in victory. With her is a saber tooth tiger.

Meaning-She is willing to consider deepening the relationship and getting more personal but she remains trapped in her physical co-dependent relationship. Our deepening personal communications offer personal healing and the development of personal power. She feels more like a complete person and less like half a person. She wants to be a complete person.

STRENGTH is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the King of Keys, Queen of Keys, Prince of Keys, Princess of Keys, Two of Keys, Two of Swords, Two of Cups and the Two of Locks.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Fire of Fire, Air of Fire, Water of Fire and Earth of Fire.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from GEBURAH to CHESED.

I have positively identified her as the soulmate that has been showing up in my dreams since long before I even knew her. I express my interest in her and she encourages me to share more deeply and more personally with her.

She is genuinely interested in what type of person that I really am, even though she is already in a physical relationship. She wants to know more about me. I have become an important part of her life in a spiritual and Platonic way and she feels safe and secure around me. I am a protective influence.



{June 6, 2008}   The Hermit

THE HERMIT

Symbol-The figure of a hermit with a staff.

He radiates an incredible amount of energy.

Meaning-The soulmate attempts to change the Platonic relationship into a more physical and personal one and introduces for the first time a sexual element or physical element into the Platonic relationship. This entrance of the earth energy into a Spiritual relationship causes great turmoil and upheaval. The soulmate feels an empty void in his life.

THE HERMIT is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to The Princess of Keys, Two of Keys and the Two of Locks.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Fire of Earth. It has control over the Sepiroth TIPHERETH and the SUN.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from TIPHERETH to CHESED.

The major events that had been taking my time and energy are now over and a deep void enters into my life. I wonder what will fill my life now that these exciting things are over. On the social level I am not doing well either. There is a growing opposition within the collective to my efforts that is under organization. I still have the support of my friends but am also drawing criticism from some others. I feel kind of lost and abandoned by the emptiness that now fills my life.

Feeling a deep and empty void in my life I attempt to change the Platonic relationship with my soulmate into a more personal and emotional one. This introduces for the first time a sexual or physical or earth element into what was a Platonic relationship and causes her to feel great turmoil and upheaval as it threatens her current physical relationship with her collective soulmate. A relationship that I don’t even know about. This is an uncomfortable period for her also as she deals with these conflicting issues.
