The cards of the Tarot are the language of the Superior Worlds of Light.<\/strong> The cards of the Tarot are the Occult Wisdom of the Sidereal Gods. Many times the Sidereal Gods answer us by showing us a Tarot card; then we should intuitively comprehend the answer we have been given. <\/p>\nThere are two kinds of Kabbalists: Intellectual and Intuitive. The Intellectual Kabbalists are Black Magicians; the Intuitive Kabbalists are White Magicians. The Intuitive Kabbalists understand everything with the Heart. The Intellectual Kabbalists want to resolve everything with the Animal Mind. The Intuitive Kabbalists are only guided by the Voice of Silence, the Intimus (the Being). By merely looking at a card of the Tarot, the Intuitive Kabbalists comprehend what destiny reserves for them. The White Magician prays to the Gods, throws their cards on the table with eyes closed, and (beseeching their God) picks up a card, observes it, and makes the forecast with their intuition. <\/p>\n
The 78 plates of the Tarot are like 78 ineffable Hieroglyphs shining in this pyramid of five angles called man 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10; the entire progress of the student is based on these numbers. <\/p>\n
The book of the Tarot is divided into 22 Major Arcana, and 56 Minor Arcana. All the 56 plates of the Minor Arcana are based on the 4 Aces and on the 10 numbers of our decimal system.<\/strong> <\/p>\nIn the 22 Major Arcana, for example, a 4 of Clubs is none other than Arcanum \u201c4\u201d (the Emperor) and the symbol of the Ace of Clubs repeated 4 times; the same thing happens with the rest of the 56 plates of the Minor Arcana. Intuitively interpret these cards combining the Natural Element with the Major Arcana and the problem is resolved. <\/p>\n
For example: a 6 of Pentacles would be interpreted by combining Arcanum 6 (Indecision or the Lovers) with the Element Air (or \u201cSoul\u201d), symbolized by the Pentacles; this would say: \u201cA Love Affair\u201d, and so on successively.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The battles of the internal worlds are really gigantic. The Argonaut is heroically launched amongst the boisterous waves of the sea. The storm roars on the stormy sea of existence.

The Earth trembles, a smoky cloud rises. This is the unexpected. The scorpion exhales fire. The explosion makes the world tremble… Burning flames surround you, and the sweet and affable whistle of the Lost Word is heard.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn this labor you must not have preferences… You must not make dangerous tests, either. You must not mix opposite currents.\u201d<\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n34<\/center><\/td>\nThe Twenty-eighth Chamber<\/center><\/td>\n28 \u201cUncertainty\u201d<\/center><\/td>\n\u201cThey throw dirty water on you, yet you do not complain. They throw mud on you, yet you do not complain. They insult you, yet you do not complain. The human multitudes abhor you! Oh, Buddha! They want to burn you with the fire of their wrath, yet this is how they hurt themselves. Their own fire devours them. You know this. Cosmic justice is the supreme mercy and the supreme mercilessness of the law.\u201d<\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n35<\/center><\/td>\nThe Twenty-ninth Chamber<\/center><\/td>\n29 \u201cDomesticity\u201d<\/center><\/td>\n| \u201cThe walls of your Temple are already built. Now you must build your Sacred Tower… this is how your EGO-MANAS is being Christified in the World of Willpower.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe EGO-MANAS is a mediator between the earthly human and the Innermost. When the EGO-MANAS learns how to do the Will of the Father on Earth as in Heaven, then it comprehends the Will of the Father, it becomes identified with the Father and Christifies itself. The Innermost is symbolized by Fire and by the Sun; our divine consciousness is symbolized by the moon and the waters of the Sea. The EGO-MANAS is a child of the two, and is represented by air… The EGO-MANAS is the Human Willpower that must be Christified in order to attain fusion with the Innermost.\u201d<\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n36<\/center><\/td>\nThe Thirtieth Chamber<\/center><\/td>\n30 \u201cExchange\u201d<\/center><\/td>\n| \u201cA modest job serving is better than robbery or fraud…it has gigantic merits in human evolution… it is in tune with the hierarchy\u2026 Sit and eat at the table of those who serve… Eat with humility… beggars surrounds you… Share your bread with them… Do not despise the humble. An exchange of love is better than an exchange of usurious merchants.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWithin the Chalice shines the head crowned with thorns.
