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.
