10/ The R & L cards of the CENTRAL card of the deck
are:
LEFT = Incoming, receptive, lunar CHOICE POINTS
RIGHT = Active, solar CHOICE POINTS. This is true for all
central cards.
There are no set definitions for the meaning of specific
digits. Common examples are:
0. (Everything or absoluteness. All,
this is a false attribution, that raises serious issues) Best not to
characterize the 0 instead say it is innumerable, uncountable, and
ineffable. Hence important but usually overlooked. Possibly crucial.
Not seen, invisible, potential
1. (Individual. Aggressor). Yang.
Instead: Individual means undividable) Ultra single
entity as largest or smallest; identity: All without
assertion, truth beyond falsification, absolute, all; manifest,
present, thesis
2. (Balance. Union.
Receptive). Yin. Duplication: mirror image= false; duplicity,
shadow, reflections, presence in absence, true bound by
falsification, antithesis.
3. (Communication/interaction.
Neutrality.) Synthesis, truth as relative to true and false, the
composite first, birth, Formation, idea, word before utterance;
inner vision, preproduction.
4. Word as uttered:
Creation. Foundation, stability, manifestation, the receptive world.
To hear.
5. Action. Restlessness. The cauldron
world, life, generation, locomotion, to touch, to feel
6. Reaction/flux. Responsibility.
Regeneration; eye to see, to desire, sex, reproduction (3+3)
7. Thought/consciousness, creativity, scent, smell, idea into actuality.
8. Power/sacrifice. Transitory into
vision of transience and transcendence. Taste, eat, consume
9. Highest level of change. Awareness,
sum of all actions, production, fruits, end of series,
self-awareness
10. Rebirth. Return, perfection, selfless awareness
THE MASTER NUMBERS – variety of sources on-line
Main reference:
Master Numbers: Cycles of Divine Order by Faith Javane (Whitford
Press) “Never before have the master numbers - 11, 22, 33, through
99 - been examined in such depth and detail. Faith Javane, one of
the most respected numerologists in the country, reveals the
significance of these power indicators, both in our personal lives
and in a historical and cosmic sense. She looks at the progression
of the master numbers as the journey the soul takes as it seeks to
master the different levels of understanding. Javane also analyzes
the two single-digit numbers that, when added together, equal a
master number, for example 2+9=11. These numbers within numbers
"test" how well we have learned the lessons of the master numbers
and whether we are ready to move on to the next level.”
Number 55
Way shower, leader to the light, whole-brain thinking,
quantum spirituality, universal mediator, mental telepathy,
clairvoyance, ultimate freedom, ultimate oneness, integral
consciousness.
44. OPPORTUNITY. Way of the alchemist. You can create magic
all around yourself and others. Opportunities come your way from out
of the blue. You have a desire for knowledge and this can lead you
into the search for answers to the great mysteries of life. You
follow your own path, and are very much the individualist. You have
a high standard of mental control and when used for the benefit of
mankind, you can create changes in your environment, and perhaps the
world. Life at times places more demands on you, as people can
expect a lot from you. This may give you the feeling that you are
constantly performing for others, and this can lead you to feeling
that you are “not good enough”, which is far from the truth.
33. HEALING. The path of healing & one of finding
protection for others. You can be a true humanitarian, and enjoy
life most when you are helping others. Your giving nature at times,
may lead you down a path of caring too much. You feel others pain as Leep as your own and have a strong empathy for others. You enjoy
quiet times to yourself away from other people. Nature calls you
strongly at times where you may feel the need to put your hands in
the dirt to create the grounding that you require. When you are at
full strength others feel comfortable around you, and look to you
for healing.
KEYWORDS
Productivity, caring, healing, strength, energy, light, compassion,
truth, seeking, nature, animals, awareness, promotion, potential,
romance, soul.
22. FREEDOM. The path of expression and doing things in a
big way. You can accomplish a lot when you are at work with large
organizations and business groups. You can demonstrate a large
degree of self-control, even in the most difficult situations.
Travel or thought of travel may interest you greatly. Your
originality may at times come into play, when there are problems to
be solved, as you see life from “out of the box”. This works well
for all concerned. At times you may not know when to stop and this
can be your downfall. Yet you recover quickly, and are just as eager
to start from scratch, to search for the solution to any problem.
When you have the freedom to do the things you want, there is no
telling how far this will take you.
KEYWORDS
Practical, wise, constructive, water, hardworking, world-beater,
courageous, daring, adventurous, fluctuation, stress, awareness,
protection, providing.
From David Atwood’s email: (used with permission) Terry is
hosting a meeting, tonight, for 26 people who are coming to hear a
marvelous channeler and intuitive discuss that energies in the room
and the greater environment around us.
I asked "What are the energies around tonight's meeting."
Here is my spread: (I do not understand the numerological format
that you are using enough to make it work for me, but the spread was
intense, nonetheless.)
David’s Layout from RWS Recording:
Chronos: 6 of Swords, 1 R= The Star, 2. L= Knight of Cups
Kariros: XVI The Tower,–3 R= 4 of Swords, 4 L=7 of Wands
Cosmos: King of Swords (master 33) -5 R =Page of Wands, 6 L= 4 of
Cups
“Looking at the placement of the cards, and the directions of the
figures, I was hit with the energy that was floating around me.
“Having the Courage of my convictions, knowing who I am and what my
intention is, I will enter into tonight's meeting which may shake up
my way of looking at my life and the direction in which I am
heading. The Tower is a powerful symbol of the inflow of Light into
my consciousness and I expect that tonight I will experience an
inflow that will clear out the cobwebs in my mind and present me
with a new way of looking at my life. The 4 of Swords is telling me
to take the time to absorb the message, to let it settle into my
being before taking any action.
“The 4 of Cups is telling me to deal with my emotions in a calm and
gentle manner so that I can use my mind in such a way that I will be
able to transcend any blockage that has been presented by my
conditioning, both cultural and familial. The Page of Wand is
telling me that what I hear tonight may propel me in a new, unknown,
but exciting direction.
“The Knight of Cups, to me, is all about Love. So, the Knight of
Cups is telling me to allow my subconscious to surface in such a way
that I can leave my old patterns behind and move (the 6 of Swords)
into a new focus. It is telling me to love myself enough that I can
trust that the energy of the Star can become manifest.
“I feel the reading was powerful, insightful and meaningful for me.”
Second half of call we discuss the obstacles and
opportunities Paul has in making the rent this month.
Pauls’ Layout from RWS Recording:
Chronos: 6 of Pentacles, 1.R= 2
Pentacles, 2 L= 9 Pentacles
Kariros: XV Devil, 3 R= 9 Swords, 4 L= 3 Wands
Cosmos: King of Swords, 5 R= 8 Wands, 6 L 2 Swords
Discussion ensued.
Kudos to call participants and in additions to named folks credit goes to MARY GREER'S insight of XVI Tower as House of G-d & home of the Court Cards's with The Chariot as their transportation or TRANCE-portation as Cynthia puts it to and from their Tower House.
Sir Gawain and the Knight of the Green Chapel by Norman Toby Simms (University Press of America) "It is all too usual to assume that Middle English literature is all Christian, either courtly or sacred or folkloric; but here is an argument for a small pocket of Jews--or rather crypto-Jews--who either stayed behind after the Expulsion of 1290 or came from elsewhere in Europe and who led a confused but relatively comfortable life. Yet they were troubled about their identities, and the poem usually known as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in particular ponders these questions of individual, group and historical identity. Drawing on both Ashekenaz and Sephardic sources, the book offers new readings for difficult problems, such as why the Green Chapel is neither a chapel nor Green, what Gawain's nick on the neck has to do with the Feast of the Circumcision on which it comes, or who the mysterious Bertilak de Hautdesert and his unnamed Lady really are. You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy this book: it is a delightful new way of reading the poem and the culture from which it arises."
A River Flows from Eden: The Language of Mystical Experience
in the Zohar by Melila
Hellner-Eshed
(Stanford University Press) Excerpt from book: "This book
seeks to understand the special mystical dimension of the Zohar.
Mysticism is a general term used for phenomena found in all the
world's religions (and indeed outside of them). It refers to the
human endeavor to develop ways of life and special practices in
order to make present in one's life the unmediated experience of the
holy or of God. In mystical documents from different religions, we
encounter the conscious effort to experience dimensions of reality
unattainable through the ordinary states of consciousness in
everyday life. These modes, and the experiences that accompany them,
are not usually the norm in the religious culture to which the
mystic belongs. Jews who live according to the norms of their
religion--like Moslems, Christians, or Hindus--are not obligated by
this more intensive form of religious life; the decision to adopt
this life has been the heritage of individuals alone. In the Jewish
tradition, this trend is known as the "secret way," the "way of
truth," and it is hidden under the shroud of mystery. Yet Jewish
literature has bequeathed us testimonies, from the Bible to our own
day, about special people who in their lives fulfilled the desire
for a special intimacy with the divine, and who left us accounts of
their experiences.
The Zohar is not a theoretical book about the essence of Jewish
mysticism. Rather, the Zohar is a mystical composition, parts of
which were surely written in heightened states of consciousness, and
parts of which seek, to my mind, to awaken the reader to a change in
consciousness. The Zohar does not present us with a systematic
presentation of mystical consciousness and mystical language. No
invisible hand appears to guide the reader systematically through
the chambers of divine wisdom. Nor can a teacher direct the new
reader to a particular page of the zoharic text so as to learn "the
mystical teaching of the Zohar." The mystical aspect of the Zohar is
made manifest among a collection of literary forms and expressions.
It shines among them. In order to enter gently into the zoharic
world--un-paralleled in its richness and complexity--this book is
divided into four parts, each of which endeavors to answer one of
the following questions:
Who are the heroes of the Zohar? What do they do? Why do they do it?
What is the nature of their mystical experience?
Part I presents the world of the heroes of the Zohar--the great
teacher Rabbi Shim'on bar Yohai and the circle of students around
him. Together they are known as the Companions--in Aramaic, Hevraya.
These chapters explore the way in which the Zohar depicts them, and
also the way that they understand themselves as figures who together
constitute the ideal mystical society.
Part II describes the life of the Companions and explores their
distinctive lifestyle. Here we encounter the fact that in the Zohar
the mystical dimension transpires and is experienced in the context
of a group--not of a lone individual. We also analyze the
Companions' two main spiritual practices: walking together on their
way, with the special scriptural exegesis that accompanies such
travels; and also the creative Torah study undertaken from midnight
to dawn. Additionally, we explore the meaning of the appearance of
wondrous characters as a means of generating mystical experience,
and the collective journey of the entire mystical circle into
different dimensions of reality and consciousness.
These first two parts, taken together, familiarize us with the
heroes of the Zohar and with their unique life-style and practices.
Only then will it be possible to turn to the major questions that
this work seeks to explore.
Part III deals with the heart of the zoharic enterprise and with its
essential aims. Three main issues are discussed here:
1. The "secret" and its diverse meanings in the zoharic world. Here
we explore the structure of the zoharic homily that grants access to
the "secret" dimension, and the nature of creativity from within
this dimension.
2. Awakening and arousal. The greatest wish of the Zohar is to
awaken the sleeping consciousness of humanity, and to arouse it to a
more expansive and divine perception of reality. Such awakening in
the Zohar is presented in various terms: as erotic arousal, as a
longing to know the divine reality and to take part in (and to
influence) this reality, and as the founding logic of the
interrelationship between the human and divine worlds. Here we
describe the means employed by the Zohar, both implicit and
explicit, to call the reader to awaken.
3. The zoharic understanding and interpretation of one biblical
verse, "A river flows from Eden to water the Garden . . ." (Genesis
2:10). This verse, I suggest, is a zoharic code, encapsulating a
conception of the dynamic structure of divinity and consciousness.
The purpose of this code is to signify to the reader how to awaken
the special consciousness that the Zohar seeks to generate.
Part IV focuses on mystical experience itself and the language of
its expression in the Zohar. Here I offer a detailed exposition of
the language of mystical experience, the emotional and physical
phenomena accompanying such experiences, as well as powerful
testimonies of these extraordinary events. I discuss the main forms,
metaphors, and symbols employed by the Zohar to describe mystical
experience, the sources of this descriptive language, and their
place and function within this experience. This analysis focuses on
the expression of the experience as well as a discussion of its
essence, out of the assumption that language and experience
influence each other in a dynamic way.'
This part builds to a climax: a model of the three main states of
consciousness that underwrite zoharic mysticism and language, and
that constitute the building blocks for the Zohar's experiential
world.
I conclude the book with two chapters on related themes. One chapter
explores the (im)possibility of expressing in language a personal
encounter with aspects of divinity. The last chapter engages the
zoharic dialectics around the question of writing, and on the
constraints when moving from an oral world of mysteries into
writing.'
