In part 1 I went through the tarot as an external tool, to be used to gain insight into things "external" to self. There is nothing wrong with this use, for me it's not using the tool to it's full potential to instill change in the self. I tell you this from my heart, if there is something in your life it is there to teach you about you.
This for me is where the tarot shines, the simplicity of it's design allows it to be applied real time as you go through your day. At first glance this may seem like an external use, looks are often misleading. Once you are able to identify the roles your playing in the dramas you find around you on a daily basis. You will be able to take an emotional, and mental step back, and decide if these roles are desired in your experience. Or perhaps you have learned the lessons of this particular morality tale, and are ready to change it. For me this ties into idea of who you think you are? I laugh at people who grab their birth chart, and proudly proclaim this is who I am. At best that was the energetic imprinting of the planets at the moment of your birth, it has relevance just like the visible phases of the moon. I'm sure we get a slight boost of suns rays under a full moon, but I guarantee the tides are holding out their motion for Gravity. My point is we are dynamic beings, We evolve and grow and change. When we figure ourselves out we even start to have a say in who we become. For me using the tarot as a framework of stories I can see in my life, my mind, my heart, that is the true gift of the tarot.
As the tarot is a story board version of the Tree of Life, the Tree of life is a subset of the Flower of Life.
This is the full expression of the sacred pattern, from which all form, shape, and substance can be plucked. Every major religion has versions of this symbol. If your proficient at seeing stereograms use the same vision on that image. More often then not the Flower of Life image people are accustomed to seeing this.
This does contain all the same information, what changes is the scale. People would like one system to apply to everything, and that is the case. You just have to be open enough for that system to be larger then you can comprehend at one time. That is the nature of being multidimensional, being able to see the same "thing" from varying perspectives while still holding on to yours.
To tie back to the Kabbalah, here is one way the Tree is shown in the flower.
How many D do you wish to be, the choice has always been ours.
How many points are on any given line?
as many or as few as you want.
That being said people will need to come to grips with there are different number base systems for different purposes. Take modern western music system, it's base 7, I know there are 8 notes, the eighth is always the beginning and the end. More on the base number systems and how/where they apply in the next episode.
As always, this just my take on years of study, meditation and consciousness alteration with intent.
If you don't like my view don't share it, just leave me to it.
