July 2015 Newsletter

What many new to the Tarot are surprised to learn is that it is comprised of a series of images which are designed specifically to depict and describe our Soul’s journey to realization, knowledge and wisdom. It is both descriptive and prescriptive. Most of us after a few decades of experience suspect that our soul is brought by spirit to embodiment here on the earth plane for a reason. Surely this earthly experience isn’t just an abysmally bad cosmic joke? For some the suffering just seems to never let up.

There must be something that embodiment reveals that our soul is unable to grasp any other way? In physical form we experience contrariness, selfishness, limitation, and suffering. We experience desire, will and decision. In spiritual terms this gets translated into force, discrimination, and magnetism. If we didn’t have an opportunity to experience the consequences of our soul-force we wouldn’t perceive the light of right purpose and co-operation. I’m sure that before we arrived here we all had just the very best of intentions to be good, to make a positive difference, to spread the word of divine love. Once we arrive of course the veil of illusion drops and we forget all those lofty celestial intentions. That first demand of hunger, pain and terror grip us and we’re off to the races figuring out how to be satiated, happy and safe.
