A reflection inspired
by my previous entry: allowing the Ace to ignite the power to overcome and succeed.
Do not feel embarrassed or apologetic of
your natural talents and abilities. From within the house of the Hierophant,
our father, you learned to accept the lesson of singing and moving to the tune
of the sun. There is the thirst for personal truth and the thirst for recognition.
The first is satiated through the personal journey of experiences, where the
second is satisfied through the ill manipulation of the first. Avoid altering
someone’s truth and experience in order to make it fit yours, as this only
denies you the opportunity to engage the power in attainment of your personal
truth, resorting to manipulation and deceit, of both others and yourself. Step
over the boundary as you release the cross of burden to meet the sun of clarity.
The sun of clarity is not the sun of
popularity and as such, you may discover paths crossing and intersecting where
once, they did not. Releasing the cross marks a new beginning. Before returning
to meet the new world, our father, the Hierophant asks: are you willing to
grasp the Ace before you? Is it the Ace of the power of original thought, or
the Ace of divine love and creativity? Is yours the Ace of the power of
execution, or the Ace with the power to bring into fruition? Whichever one it
is, happily grasp it- you have earned it.
Dreams
and visions can be fueled by imagination. It takes an imagination to be “creative.”
Creativity lends itself to projects such as creative writing and painting,
abilities necessary for an artist. Though I appreciate art, art does not bring
about personal truths, yet personal truths can be very well expressed via “art.”
What is formulated from mere imagination and the creative process is generally
referred to as fiction. Fiction is largely created with an ending in mind and
is generally entertaining. There is no end to seeking your personal truths and
the journey is anything but “entertaining.” The journey is cruel, lonesome and
at times, the target of misconceptions. However, the experiences gained from
such a journey serve to break down the barriers which otherwise constrict the
mind, heart and soul from attaining sight of its collective outer limits. I am
not a follower of Crowley, nor do I care to be, however, that does not limit me
in gaining an appreciation to insights such as: “Love is the law, Love under
Will.” What are the limits within the idea of “love” that prohibit you from
connecting with the ideas of others today?
