BOO!!!

The appearance of this card may indicate something scary is happening, but there is probably no need to take it too seriously.


THERE IS NO YOU

The knowledge that the universe operates with no outside help and that you are an integral part of this phenomenon can have a liberating effect.


TEE HEE HA HA

Who is laughing?

The answer is revealed by the other cards in the spread.


MESSAGES MONDAY

On Monday a message will come, revealing what your next move should be in carrying out the master plan. Your situation will become clearer.


THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO

So why bother?

The ego can prevent the grace of the cosmos from directing your life.

You may meet obstacles that will prevent fulfillment of your wishes.

NO TRIPS WITHOUT A TRIPPER

Sorry, but if you don't do it, it won't happen. Most ego trips require some sort of ego.

Strictly speaking, the tripper is not separate from the trip.


AS ABOVE, SO BELOW

Dualism is an illusion. The events on earth reflect the events in heaven. Man and Woman contain the pattern of the universe.

"As above, so below" is quoted from the Emerald Tablet, which is the summary of the alchemical work as revealed to Hermes Trismegistes, an ancient sage of unknown origin.




THE ONE MIND IS ROOTLESS AND FOUNDATIONLESS

There are no absolute truths to cling to. No matter how certain of yourself you are, time brings change through experience.

As far as there being an "ultimate reality" behind appearances, even the concept of mind itself is incorrect in that it implies a reality or form beyond the nature of what is.

All form is ultimately arbitrary and can be pushed in any direction or manner we choose, provided we are aware enough to make a choice.

The source of divine inspiration is not the intellect. In fact, there is no source, but investigation brings us closer to true vision.


IT IS NOT WHAT YOU DO THAT COUNTS, IT IS WHERE YOUR HEAD IS AT

Negative feelings or emotions are useless in themselves. Negative attitudes can become positive if one realizes that it is not actions or deeds in themselves that have value, but rather the way one feels. This is not to say actions can be independent of feelings. Harmful actions breed negativity.

In general, a positive attitude brings more favorable results and as long as you can be objective, your circumstances will not make you anxious or depressed. You have the power to remove negative feelings and replace them with positive ones.



SOMEONE IS LAUGHING AT YOU

Certain people in the environment are unaware of the true significance of your activities.

Actually, I don't know what this card means, nor am I laughing.

Or perhaps you really are doing something absurd.

THE WAR HAS REACHED A CRITICAL POINT ... BETWEEN ATLANTIS AND MU

If the world can be thought of as a yin-yang symbol, then the West might be thought of as the yang portion, symbolized by Atlantis, and the East, yin, symbolized by Mu. The peaceful interaction of these forces results in a harmonious whole.

On all levels the universe as a whole is a perfect whatever it is. The interaction of passive and active principles might be felt as conflict at times and love at other times.



AND THERE I WAS ... SURROUNDED

Surrounded by the various and sometimes bizarre creatures of nature, I received a message. It said: "You and the earth are one".


THINK ABOUT IT FOR AWHILE

There is more happening than you realize. Contemplate the situation deeply.

There are many states that require no intellectual effort to maintain, such as breathing, eating, dealing with the pressure of gravity, etc. In other words, our conscious activities are not directed toward the maintenance of the physical body.

However, we may have occasional glimpses of higher levels of consciousness. There may be, in those higher realms, enduring joy, peace and realization. Rational and intellectual means may guide us to the beginning of our journey.

The goal is postulated as eternal bliss and the task is to channel the universe into our consciousness by means that will become clearer as the cosmos and this instruction booklet unfold. The dancer cannot wait for the philosopher or even the historical poet. And the creative principle cannot be named.

DEATH/REBIRTH

If you were dead, dreaming you were alive, and if the laws of your death dream were as consistent as those of life, then perhaps there would be no difference between life and death.

Death and rebirth have many meanings. The number of realms and spaces in both are beyond all reckoning. The Death/Rebirth card might refer to the phenomenon of radical alteration and transportation problems involved in changing realms.



DRINK GOLD

Of the various rainbow-colored energies that are playing in the cosmos, concentrate on the golden ones, for they have a positive effect. Perhaps you could manifest the philosophers' stone or attain spiritual enlightenment.

In many contexts, this card applies to money matters.

In any case, your productive activities can help many beings.

SOMEWHERE, THERE IS AN ENERGY LEAK

Check the pipe connection of the source northeast of Samarkand. If it's not there we can still come out in Oaxacn.

Actually, we have an infinite amount of energy from which to draw. In the same way, there are an infinite number of redwood trees. Though it may be true that "if you've seen one redwood tree you've seen them all," somewhere there is another redwood tree quite similar to the one destroyed. Unfortunately, it is in the seventeenth dimension of a universe zibbly times distant from ours. But if you know how to solve the transportation problem, there is no problem.

ETERNAL BLISS

Bliss is dynamic fulfillment throughout all change.

Although eternal bliss may not be the final goal, it is a good start.

THE VALLEY

This feminine earth card means rest from turbulence.

Or the valley could be the paradise of the harmonious realms -- the hidden valleys of Shambhala.


WAIT

You may feel that you are losing your patience. Things are still not working out. But we do not have to be confined in long cycles of time and in space as big as galaxies. A certain gestation period is required before the complete satisfaction of all your wildest desires.


THIS MAY NOT BE A PERFECT CIRCLE BUT IT IS A PERFECT ... WHATEVER IT IS

Comparison is not true perception. The nature of reality can be known through direct revelation.

MUSHROOM

Expansion.

An intricate, geometrical color realm lays way beyond the highest mountain, far to the southeast. It is a space of wonder and awe, where the gods and goddesses reveal their presence.

Generally, mushrooms are considered a mystical food, and so the appearance of this card in a reading could be a greeting from higher realms.

Often the mushroom refers to the goddess, the spirit of the forest, the little people, and other such creatures. The mushroom may also represent a phallic symbol and a source of power.

AWAIT FURTHER ORDERS

Although the message is torn, more data is coming, and it will clarify what your next move should be. However, you may have hooked into a superficial guidance system that is not really relevant to your basic being.


THE DREAM

The waking dream is not contained in the head of a dreamer, nor is it outside of reality, nor is it in any unknowable space.


DOES CONSCIOUSNESS RING A BELL?

No, she honks a horn.

In a reading this card indicates a specific factor in your situation that will provide great clarity when you become aware of it.

Also, the question is posed: "Does awareness, in itself, act?"


YOU ARE EXPERIENCING AN ILLEGITIMATE FEELING

This statement is an absurdity, for there are no illegal feelings. In a reading, this card may indicate that you are experiencing a negative emotion which will disappear when you realize negativity is not necessary. Focus attention on your feelings and experiences-get in touch with yourself.

AWAKE!

Perhaps you are not aware of the important aspects of your situation. When you gain another perspective, many matters will be seen clearly for the first time. Perhaps there is no limit to these revelations.

DON'T WORRY, YOU CAN DO NO WRONG

In the context of a reading, this card often means that you cannot fail in your present situation. Whatever you decide to do will benefit the project you have in mind.

The present confusion is part of a divine plan.

WHO AM I?

The question, "Who am I?" can be a very effective meditation tool. Contemplating the possible answers without clinging to any particular solution expands awareness to an unlimited degree.
