Isis
Portal of Light
It is only this physical reality that
is bound by time and space.
You are a conscious
being on levels beyond
the physical world.
You are guided to work with your
healing powers beyond
the confines of time and space.
You will not become
ungrounded through such spiritual work.
You are not leaving
your earthly connection behind
– You are merely adding to it.
Tarot
Son of Feathers
My mother gave me a sharp sword to cut through fatal entanglements.
My father gave me a compass and told me all about the winds from the east, south, west, and north.
My sister gave me the courage to jump into the unknown.
My room is immaculate and painted snow white.
Meditating in the lotus position I move from Beta to Alpha rhythm.
Slowing down my pace I move through history.
I see the old warrior.
Bathing in the dragon’s blood, he thought himself invulnerable, but he died by the spear of his shadow while he was drinking from the spring.
Seeing, the hero was robbed of his importance.
Knowing, I saw the image behind the imaged.
Breathing, I experience things as they are.
For my true self – condensed into one point – everything is equally valid.
Slipping through the fine mesh of imagination it dances unencumbered through space.
Archetypes
The Shadow
Although every card in the archetypes deck has a shadow potential, this card asks us to delve into the qualities of The Shadow itself.
We often think that The Shadow can be purified, illuminated, and made right through effort and achievement.
However, it is typically the case that our lofty pursuit of ascension and perfection is the very source of shadow material itself.
By rejecting parts of ourselves and the world we begin to separate from the whole. Rather than getting to know the qualities and content of our shadow, we busy ourselves with avoiding its presence.
This is denial. When this card appears, it is time to take inventory of those things you’ve been denying.
When the mind responds with, “No, anything but that”, you are touching shadow. Find support for this deep inner work, and move toward The Shadow with patience and compassion.
When light it is revealing unconscious aspects of the Self and world.
When dark it is denying unconscious aspects of The Self and world.
I Ching
55 – The Way of Precision
This hexagram has the capacity to go beyond the maya by going through the maya – the shadow world of intellect, rooted in dualism.
Intellect is based upon number and associated with facts. Everything has become about the dialectic, about identification, opposites, reason and conflict; intellect and facts.
Ancient wisdom didn’t take the magic away from number as we do, making it rigid as fact and creating a world of false reality. Facts can be manipulated to give us the illusion of order, balance and harmony. Here we need to uproot false realities, the maya.
The only cellular certainty is love. But we’re split – we are no longer one, we have become two. We can only return to unity, to one, by moving forwards into three, trinity.
To step out of the maya is to see the depth of the illusion that surrounds us in everything, everywhere. Precision gives us the ability to see which patterns are in resonance with truth and which are false.
Unconditional love – love rooted in service of the whole, is the only love that can dismantle the maya. Only truth has influence, and when truth is expressed through our physicality it becomes impeccability.
It’s pure authentic presence. We’re no longer the mover but the moved. We’re no longer the choosers but the chosen. We’re no longer divided but whole.
