the manara erotic tarot- 2 of earth- ( terra )
The Erotic Tarot -2 of Earth, shows a very forward woman, groping a startled mundane male. She is very playful as she is wearing his bowler hat and smiling. Seems she wishes him to know how she feels about his well indoctrinated English coolness, as he sits next to her trying to ignore her. Since this is a card of the earth, it is about fertility and fecund being. Hence the grope.
Milo Manara has given to this card the meanings of:
- Excitement.
- Playfulness.
- Enjoyment.
- A harmless joke.
Since Jupiter is in Capricorn, there is a need there is a need to develop the self ambitiously and coldly.
The Upper Supernal Triangle of the Qabalistic Tree of Life can be compared to the Garden of Eden from here, the male and female polarities of energy balance against each other, evolving into increasing density as they develop towards the lowest Sephira, Malkuth, on the Tree of Life.
In Qabalistic Gematria, the number 2 symbolizes the union and balance of opposites that underlies all material existence. Because this equilibrium of opposites begins in Chokmah, it is called the Sephiroth of” Perfect Harmony”.
While Kether is that which the “Root” of impetus is: Chokmah is the impetus for all manifestation. The Harmonic Union of opposites supplies that action.
Binah is Saturn/Time, and Chokmah is the sphere of the Zodiac/Space.
Kether is Androgynous, and Chokmah is the idea of Maleness (Electric/will to force) and Binah is the idea of Femaleness (Magnetic/will to form), and the mating of the 2 "wills the Electromagnetic Spectrum" into living form.
Once again, our sensual ideas of sexuality do not apply to this Higher Scale of Communion. Here Maleness is the vital outpouring of electrical energy that is organized as will to force, limited, or formalized by the magnetic qualities of Female will to form. Thus, Yod is male, and Heh is female, and the resulting offspring is Vau of the Divine Name that marries the daughter who is the last Heh. Thus, the name of God, Yod Heh Vau Heh, is represented as that attribute to the 6 lower Sephiroth in which Tiphareth (Beauty) is central.
As you may note, there are many interchangeable symbols in the Qabalah that may make it seem more complicated than it is. The essential key is that the Vital Outpouring Energy, which in intercourse with an organizing force, produces something else. For example, red combined with blue creates purple by the motion of the mixer (Kether). Opposites joined in balanced harmony, produce something greater than the parents. This is not possible if the same is united with exactly the same, you would only get exactly the same.
The Tree of Life originated in the opposition of Chokmah and Binah. However, this is not static, any more than male- female union on earth is static, there is a constant back and forth motion of growth and movement. When a change occurs in one Sephiroth, there is a natural balancing response in its opposite. There is a continual exchange that could be compared to breathing, as the inhale exhale action that powers Life.
On the Tree of Life, the Uppermost Sephira is Kether, Eheieh, which sets the pattern for all below it. Like an electrical switch that is off, Kether is all potential, while Chokmah is the electrical switch in the on position. Thus, Chokmah is function while Kether is potential. Kether is a "non-Being" while Chokmah is a BEING. Chokmah is the State of Self, where we dream ourselves into being, from a Divine State of Meditation. The dreamed is unaware of the dreamer as we dream ourselves "inside out" (we are infinite inward and limited outward; a type of Mobius loop), an ultimate fact of our Earthly existence. Therefore, you are the Master and the Masterpiece, the Transmitter and the Transmitted and once again, you can see that your only savior from dysfunction, is your inner self.
From One "I" (the all-Seeing Eye) all identity becomes, so, we as different separate vibrational frequencies do not exist other than as one energy. However, we declare existence by stating "I AM". Then we set about defining that invisible principle of existence as a "Me". Thus, manifestation is a simple three-word definition called, "I AM Me" of which you, as the spiral vibration of energy (spirit), hold total freedom to define. Since I AM Not, is impossible, as I am declaring existence, whatever you define as not being you, simply states, that it is you. For example, one plus naught = 1, Naught-zero- has no influence in potential. So “I am happy" creates happiness, while "I am not sad" creates only sadness. Time to rethink your power over the dream!
Since dimensions are descriptions of spatial terms, our life dream has specific dimensions as that is our best frame of reference. The Tree of Life is how the Qabalah describes these dimensional frames of reference as being a downward flowing evolution of Chokmah through various levels of Self Dream called Sephiroth. To make this simple, we are first dreaming our own existence, and that we are all, collectively (Collective Unconscious), are what is known as God-Mind, which is the definition of the word Hu-Man. This process of evolutionary dreaming towards a more condensed and sensual dream self, is called the "fall", but it really is a "downsizing" and/or "condensing", that causes us to "lessen" our self-concepts to become more sensual and interactive, all of which is necessary for evolutionary self-awareness. Therefore, we lose sight of our own Divinity and must "reclaim" all the data we left behind on our "downward" journey into sensual dreaming... You may say that in manifestation, Malkuth, we are a lucid dream.
The goal here is to get the inner dreamer and the dream to cooperate with each other and thus the dreamer then begins to get control over its life happenstances, this is a truly extraordinary experience and is the making of a Magi. Here the Union of Dreamer and Dream has no veils between them, and we can have anything at all, but we no longer experience the "need" of the disconnected. We Love, without need, we created without fear of result. We want nothing at all because we become, I AM rather than I Don't Have. We learn what does matter and what does not while we go about the Great Work of "As above, so below".
THE 2’s:
The Four 2's symbolize the Power created by the union of the King and Queen that initiates force. Those forces are the Prince and Princess that are not yet brought into action. The Twos thus imply the initiation and fecundation of a thing,
From the Golden Dawn Texts:
The four Deuces symbolize the Powers of the King and Queen; first uniting and initiating the Force, but before the Prince and Princess are thoroughly brought into action. Therefore, do they generally imply the initiation and fecundation of a thing.
Thoth- 2 of disks-change
The Thoth -2 of Disks, card represents the Harmony of Change. Now this may seem irrational to the survival mind, who thinks that security is constant control of situations; stability is more important than change to the animal. But that is again the illusion of thought. We are told to think that carbon in a crystalline stasis is the most valuable or one of the most valuable forms to be. We know this valuable state of carbon as a diamond. Funny thing about diamonds...They don't live!
As evolutionary forms of life, diamonds fail to live and carbon atoms are the foundation of all living things on earth because they are the most adaptable of atoms that will mate with most other atoms and that was why the carbon atom was known in the ancient past as the "Scarlet Woman" and/or Divine Whore! What is most valuable to Life (Spirit) is living carbon atoms made of bio-protons that are malleable enough to change by the mechanism of the union of opposites; a mechanism that requires communication! To make the motion of life changeless is impossible---for in the state of control, life will always be the exception to the rule of stability. This is easily seen by understanding entropy and/or the second law of thermodynamics which states "... All things proceed from order to disorder." Chaos is the universal mechanism of change!
The Serpent twisted in the form of a figure eight, is the ancient sign of infinity (Ouroboros--the serpent that eats its own tail) because of the knowledge that Life eats itself to stay alive. Order is eaten by Chaos which causes a reordering of energy which is a flowing transformation that in the world of atoms, keeps some carbon atoms from forming into diamonds! Also, one is always one, unless it can develop "other", and then mate with other, allowing the differences to develop diversity. Since there is only one energy that cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed. The One "I" twisted upon itself and now is I and Other.
As a Spiritual Being of Energy consciousness, I find this constant change especially useful in developing intelligence (Create-see entropy and correct it) as well as the foundation of evolutionary being, i.e., adaptability! Most of us know the Yin Yang symbol of Taoist origin, and it is shown in both loops of the figure eight. The yellow color is the masculine Force (electric), and the darker colors are the feminine form which is magnetic force. In the Qabalah the union of Force and Form is the foundation of all being.
Now astrologically, this card is Jupiter in Capricorn. The benevolent Planet Jupiter is not well placed in Capricorn meaning that Jupiter's good influence can only be exerted as an organizer. The Feminine Creative or the Ocean of Magnetic Force (Binah) and Masculine currents of electric force (Chokmah) are being organized into living forms on/in the Material of Malkuth---which is the tenth Sephiroth on the Tree of Life. Qabalists know Kether to be the 1st Sephira, and many have thought that this is the first manifestation of conscious energy. Yet Kether is the "limitless light", and has no end or beginning, which allows no viewing. Kether is the "Dark Sun" as it can't be seen and is the least understood concept of the Tree of Life sigil. Therefore, the First idea of manifestation falls to the 2's, which represent Chokmah (Wisdom) which is a Hebrew feminine noun for the Greek Goddess Sophia. Elements may be essences in Kether, but only upon reaching the Deuces are they in appearance as ideas.
The 2's represent the Elements uncontaminated by influence, hence they appear in their original harmonious condition. For instance:
- The 2 of Wands is called Dominion and/ or Lord of Dominion because the word Lord implies Husbandry in its original Feudal meaning of "keeper of her property"...you'll need to think hard about this. The 2 of Wands represents the Fire Element in its purest form and is the "movement within all motion".
- The 2 of cups, often called The Lord of Love and is the Purest Form of Water (fluid-like energy flow), i.e. self-consciousness.
- The 2 of Swords has been called the Lord of Peace or Peace. We know that swords represent "mind" but since there is no conflict to make peaceful at this stage of manifestation, it requires a lot of thought to understand the Ace of Disks card. It is a State of I without the Am paradox of imagining self, within oneself. This can be a real brain teaser simply because it is the Negative form of a Positive idea.... It's as if it is the negative electrons attracting positive electrons to make a form manifest, which they do. Like I said, a lot of thinking is necessary here, as the general proposition states that the sum of the one energy is zero, so that the Positive manifestation "isn't" real, it is reality while the Real is infinite zero. Hence, the phrase, "The other side of the Mirror" is the Real side. Or we can say that the image in the reflected side of the mirror is subject to the self-conception presentation from the invisible side of the mirror.
The 2 of Disks is representative of Change, and/or Lord of Harmonious Change which is what Union produces. Union produces harmonious change simply because energy seeks its own level and when 2 come together as 1, they balance each other, and this works for 2 states of energy consciousness as well. Also, Earth is the Throne of Spirit, as the Princesses are related to Earth and since the well-known axiom of Gnosis is "As above so below", we see that once having gotten to the bottom one comes out again at the top. This is a type of Mobius loop, or lemniscate (Greek for-ribbon) which is the serpentine figure-eight Magus symbol for infinity; "One who is Two", clamping down on its own tail. The 2's may be considered the A-sexual "fetuses" of the Seed-Aces but this concept doesn't seem to make understanding these "Higher States" of conscious energy any easier. All the 2's suggest that when the negative sees itself as a positive, and then unites with that positive, we get a "Self-Image". When Data-Chokmah unites with Understanding, Binah, we get form. This may help you with the Mythological concepts of the Goddess who in Virgin birth, has a son (male is considered Positive Electron and female is considered Negative Electron) and then mates with that son to produce the Universe. If you get this all tangled up with your indoctrinated-emotional concepts of sexuality-----you'll never understand the Energy Conscious concepts of the 2's. However, I love to tease the brain, so here is another concept of the 2's, "From herself, she created him, and then mated with him so she could become her." I just love that one! Know Thyself! You are originally Spirit; a powerful Observer known as Will-to-Be! From non-being, you have always created being! This is your inheritance, from Chokmah and Binah. "To be" which is never stasis and always re-observing itself! This state of self-revaluation is transformation/change. The 2 of Disks card represent the Kingdom of Earth.
When this card is thrown for an individual during a reading, it means:
- A transformation in the physical world is upon them in 2 weeks or 2 months’ time.
- This is Cause and Effect and/ or the Law of Attraction, where what we think of the most is formed in the atoms around us as a living observation and/or lifestyle.
- In Physics, it is known that observation changes the observed and most of us know that by observing a thought through the powerful emotions (energy-in-motion) of love or fear will charge that thought into manifested action from benevolent on one hand or malevolent on the other. Perspective is everything to a Conscious Energy---which we all know as Spirit. Life is but a perspective of Self-Awareness!
- The ability to juggle or balance more than one project at a time and or two or more situations at one time.
- When the mental aspects attributed to Female (unconscious) and the Male (consciousness), in all of us is balanced, we know Life as Playful Creativity and enjoy the challenges of entropy. Whereas if they are at odds, life becomes a serious struggle where chaos eventually wins.
- Being notified by your soul that to survival thinking, it is better to allow chaos and then reorder it in a new way to be, knowing full well that you can and always have done so as Spirit.
If ill defined:
- Instability.
