The True Origin of Tarot
What is It?
The Tree of Life is a system that is designed not only to understand God, but to perfect the soul and to travel through the plains of consciousness to connect and
experience God.
The Tree of Life is a roadmap to God. If you “travel” up the Tree using the paths from sphere to sphere, you will come to a greater understanding of yourself, the universe and of God. The ultimate aim is to become God Realized, i.e. Spiritually Enlightened.
How It Works
Each sphere on the Tree (1-10) are called sephiroth (sef-ur-roth)
(A sample of The Tree is below)
Malkuth (10)--the lower sephiroth, is the mundane, maya, material manifestation (Earth), where we live.
Kether (1) is the divine destination; like heaven. With spiritual practices and methods, we “climb” the tree and evolve to attain the spiritual realm—to be done with the material incarnations and live eternally in the divine dimension.
The lines between each sephiroth are the branches—the “paths”—that we use to climb the tree to attain God consciousness. They are unique and progressive.
Each sephiroth on the tree is like the fruit. We want to climb beyond the low-hanging fruit and attain the high fruit! Each sephiroth (fruit) and each path (branch) corresponds to a tarot card and suit:
Why This Insight is Critical
In the previous two blog posts on Astrology and Tarot, we explained how these modalities provide detailed conceptual and symbolic insights, but the Tree (along with the I-Ching in the next blog post) gives instructions and guidance!
I always found most intuitive forecasting (i.e. fortune telling) to be limited.
I don’t just wanna know what’s coming up! I wanna know if I should duck, step to the right, left or meet it head on! I want to know how to USE the forecast!
I don’t check the weather report for entertainment! (that’d be sad!) I check the weather forecast to know how to plan my day: outdoor picnic or indoor game night.
Your Tree of Life correspondences show you what sphere of action and mentality you and your circumstances are within.
By reviewing the sephiroths, the paths inbetween, and connecting them--we get
tremendously useful guidance as to the most successful options to act on.
What your Tree correspondences provide are perspectives and options. They don't tell you what you should or shouldn't do, but give insight into the results of specified actions so you can select the most favorable outcome.
How To Access These Insights
If you would like to understand the ins and outs of this practice yourself, you can access my Mastery Workbook on Kabbalah's Tree of Life here.
Or you can allow me to give the insights for you. A Within The Portal Blueprint gives a detailed map of your ENTIRE life by calculating your personal frequencies with numerology, then applying all the other spiritual modalities (Sacred Geometry, Astrology, Tarot, and I-Ching) for refined insight.
That brings us to our last spiritual modality to go over: I-Ching!
