What is Enlightenment? Crumbling Away of Untruth

Kathleen’s Psychic Ezine

“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the façade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.”

Consider Adyashanti’s wise words and set your intentions to make this next month one of balance, right purpose and commitment. Aiming for best practices in all aspects of our lives is simple and painful. But it is spiritually necessary in order to reach that lofty place of enlightenment, nirvana and holy-ness.

Magical Secrets Coded in the Pictures in the Tarot

Studying the Tarot is like embarking upon a symbology/esoteric/psychology degree. The Tarot, a word that doesn’t exist in any language other than as this deck of cards, depicts our emergence as spirit into physical form. The challenges, pitfalls, consequences and rewards at each stage in this embodied manifestation are revealed at each successive card. All the cards are numbered, sequential and therefore, developmental. The Majors are our soul progressions and the numbered lower Arcana describe the costs and gifts experienced in our corporal, mundane existence.

When I taught how to read the Tarot, I was astonished by the changes I witnessed in the lives of the students as they studied the meanings of the cards and how to read them. Marriages and other significant relationships were split and forged; career paths were altered and launched. Students’ appearances even changed! It’s a transformational study much like any spiritually informed intellectual discipline you choose to embark.

Enlightenment or psychological growth (whatever lingo is your jam), impacts us in a myriad of ways. Self-love and acceptance relaxes our muscles including those in the face. All the joints in our bodies including our spine relax down and out. The resting expression on our face alters – we smile, laugh and cry more easily making us look younger. As the joints in our bodies relax, we walk and move differently. Sometimes our appearance can alter so profoundly, someone we haven’t seen for a while might not even recognize us.

Enlightenment Tasks According to the Tarot

Our embodied life is comprised of good and bad. For example, the Devil card, which is assumed to signal bad news, teaches us that sensuality without love becomes usury, addiction and entrapment. Cups, which are typically embraced as positive cards, reveal that ungrounded intuition and emotional instability can lead to paranoia and vain imaginings.

Our humanity must be in masculine and feminine balance. For example, the leadership qualities revealed in the Emperor must be balanced with the empathy and nurturance of the Empress.
We continually grow towards wholeness. Our process of learning and growing throughout embodiment leads to an acceptance of ourselves, our limitations and gifts. This is encapsulated in the World card and a study of the four essential elements represented in the four suits. For example, when one of the elements is over-represented in a reading, we are guided to re-balance by bringing more of its opposite into our lives.
We are an expression of spirit in matter. When our spirit enters matter, there will be irresistible temptations from both the unseen and seen worlds. The High Priestess represents insight, spiritual riches and knowledge. Following her call may lure us away from our bodies, however, and our day to day concerns for survival. Slavishly following the signals of the High Priestess may distract us from the needs of their bodies to eat and express sexual passion (eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa exemplifies this pathology). The Empress is the riches of the Goddess made manifest. She beckons us with promises of a generous harvest, physical pleasure, and the blessings of birthing. Too much Empress energy may lead to too much mothering and idealized materialism.
We will grapple with sacrifice and death, as revealed through the Hanged One and the Death cards. We must learn to relinquish our ego’s mythology of total control to discover the riches of self-actualization. True psychological health is reflected in our ability to sacrifice our egotistic needs to be recognized and admired at the alter of what supports the greater good and truth.
Balance is a key to emotional/spiritual maturity. Awareness of our spiritual power must lead to prudence, responsibility and beneficence or we will reap the ultimate backlash from the unseen world of sickness, despair and alienation.
Pride comes before the humbling lesson. The Major Arcana instructs this lesson several times along the Fool’s journey. The Devil reminds us to be mindful of the trappings of success and the danger of losing the freedom and joy truly only available from the spiritual plane. The Tower finally rips down all vestiges of egotism and Judgment promises us atonement (at-one-ment) for our lapses into egotism and be awarded a grace of rebirth.

How Anyone Can Use the Tarot

We are Spiritual Beings in a Physical Body

The World card, Number 21 is the final card in the Majors. Here we have ascended the state of grace, one-ness and completion. We are replete with joy and resolve. Our life purpose has been revealed and accepted. As embodied, spiritual beings we acknowledge that we are here to do sacred work. Not easy, road-of-least-resistance, type of work. But fulfilling, exhausting, purposeful work. Our trials, challenges and losses are finally regarded from a perspective of wisdom, acceptance and generosity. We humbly acknowledge that it is only in this NOW that we may experience fulfillment. All else is illusion, vain imaginings and tricks of the ego.
