Learning of what are the Mysteries is the understanding of yourself. The art to these Mysteries reveal the physiology of the body both external and internal in metaphor. The form this art takes may not resemble a chair. In stone a figure of a horned deity may in fact resemble the parts of the brain stem involved in telling the physical heart the sequences necessary for breathing. The inner schools involving the way of the yogi may in fact meet inside one such temple of stone to point this art out for their students. Since the process of using art to to access different areas of your mind involves exposure this may have been a preconceived notion of the intellect. We must refute this story until we can find such a school. The mind is on a journey to return to the house of the Parents. A hidden assumption is that the structures of the mind are accessed by looking at images of the body. There exists other images in a temple we still can not identify. They are unrecognizable as landmarks to this home we strive to reach. Arcana or mystery has more than one part. A mature system of heavenly thinking involves the planetary mind denoted as Saturn. A model to show at least two parts of the mystery can be drawn as a planet surface with rings. The rings being of sold particles of increasingly course material. This is a metaphor for the material world. The tree of life diagrams with their circles called sephirot are described in the Tarot by the deck of cards called the Lesser or Minor Arcana. They have posed for a time a condition of cluelessness as to their purpose and function. In time these images have been added to the Major Arcana to provide fortune teller readings with mixed results. The real purpose must be revealed by the operator of the deck. After all the deck is called a mystery for a reason. Yet these Mysteries are not intended to be a puzzle. These are as the Mysteries of Eleusis, in Greek ( Ἐλευσίνια Μυστήρια ). The cult of Demeter is the continuation of the rituals performed in Egypt for the Goddess Isis. This deity is also referred to as the Goddess of Nature. The Mystery schools all have a common subject. This is the study of You. To understand yourself is to understand nature. A careful glance at the Major Arcana of a Tarot deck will reveal an interesting pattern. The brighter color cards appear with lower numbers 0,1,2,3,4. The darker color cards are numbered 13,14,15,16. The colors then eventually become muted and blue. They take on a twilight appearance before sunrise. Therefore the Major Arcana takes you on a journey of the sun rays as they penetrate the earth and eventually return to the sun. A completed cycle. Another way it is watching the sky from sunrise to midnight to sunset. Nature works with shades of light and dark. The cycle of day and night. Your mind works the same way. If you sleep you may miss that even in the dark your mind is working. It is most important that this cycle exist. This cycle is of the spirit leaving home, taking a journey into matter, and then leave matter so that the spirit is able to return home. Each time the spirit is changed by the experience. This observation is fundamental to Tarot studies. The Prodigal child story is encoded upon the Art-work of the images. At some point the application of the Tarot the two arcana must be united. The procedure for using the lesser or Minor Arcana is quite different than for the Major Arcana. If we examine the origin for our Saturn system the four knaves are arranged to form a cross. These knaves are described by three additional names. These include Page, Princess, and Prince. Such variation is partly explained when this key is used to represent the physical body in some applications. These keys serve, in general, to provide transfer from different worlds. They connect the kingdom of Malchut, or Malkuth in Hebrew to the origin of this kosmos. In the Saturn representation the Minor Arcana are arranged along with the court keys with the rings of the seventh planet. This circular arrangement will allow an easy way to learn how the Minor Arcana is related to the decans of the zodiac constellations. Getting the Tarot to speak is the most interesting aspect of this rather odd book. A book without a spine. We obtain answer to questions depending the environment. In the case of Tarot it is more about selecting the proper question than about the answer. This comes to finding the answer to what is the life of the ALL and how should we participate in this life? The scepter in the diagram is called Wand in the Tarot system. The King ranks as the highest member of the court cards. The reason four court cards exist for each of the four suits is to all the divine name express itself in different worlds. Our three plane system of Divine world, human world, and Material world is the requirement of the trinity. The ruler of the divine world is the king. This is the spirit. There is a king for each of the elements represented by the suits. Each element is associated with one Hebrew character. The king of each suit has dominion over their trinity of sephirot. These are labelled as 1,2, and 3. This is the logos mentioned in the New Testament. The domain of the human world is ruled by the queen court card. This represents the soul. The suit numbers 4,5,6 represent the Atman, Buddhi, and Manas respectively. Note the typo above Vav. This reads 1,2,3. This should read 4,5,6. Commands filtered by the queen provide a check-point. The knight deals with the material world. This is not all concrete but involves the dwellings of personality. The sephirot 7,8,9 are concerned with worldly affairs for they are closer to the fallen earth. Regardless of the Tarot system you employ the ruler of the tenth world is the knave (Page) or in some systems prince and Princess. This kingdom is where the spirit world emanations travel to and are eventually sent to the abyss. This is the region below the stomach. Here the spirit returns to its origin. In the minor arcana the spirit enters this world through the remaining Major arcana. The above diagram shows how movement along the cross and movement along the tree of life occurs. The positions labelled 1,2,3,4 on the cross are the same positions of King, Queen, Knight, and Knave (or Page). These positions are the channels for Spirit, Soul, Upper Ego, and Lower Ego to interact with the three worlds of divine, Mental, and Physical. In other words these are where Positive, Passive, and Neutral filter the divine name. The name contains the places where will, emotion, logic, and organization can manifest on the three worlds. These are all necessary before an action can occur. The positions of 4,7,10 are involved in transferring among different worlds. Position 10 transfers back to position 1 by first going to 0. This is the origin. In Tarot represented by the Fool key. In the tree of life this is the light source of the tree called the An soph. This is not shown in the diagram, but is located above positions 1,2, and 3. Notice how each world is defined by three sephiroth on the tree. The sephiroth 1,2,3 is the world of Active emanations. This is written in the lesser arcana as Ace, 2, 3. The sephiroth 4,5,6 is the world of Passive emanations. They correspond to the lesser arcana of the matching 4,5,6 keys. The sephiroth 7,8,9 are involved in the neutral, or equilibrium emanations. They in turn match up with the arcana 7,8,and 9. The sephiroth and arcana keys, 4,7,and 10 are used in transferring to the next plane. This is in addition to their specific mental states. The lesser arcana ensure that the divine is manifested by providing four suits. The wands (scepters) for will and initiation. The cups for inspiration from the divine. The swords for intellect. These are very useful at cutting away at falsehoods. The coins, shields, or pentacles are organization and control of chakras on the earth. These lesser arcana differ from the major arcana in that they provide objective conscious states. The major arcana provide subjective conscious states. The Minor Arcana, or lesser Arcana is composed of 55 keys. They map out our solar world. This is realization therefore it is the trinity manifested. The suits are four. They are partitioned into groups of two. Each pair is called a Duad. One duad will be spiritual, the other will be called material. The wand is represented as a full triangle. The cup is an open triangle. The wand is masculine, the cup is feminine. This is the spiritual pair. The material duad is the sword and is represented by a lobed triangle. This is masculine. The pentacle is feminine and is represented by a diamond. The suits include four picture keys. These are also grouped into duads. Pairs of each. The first duad involves king and queen. The second duad is knight and the knave which on the cards is written page. The divine name is expressed on three planes. Therefore a cross representing the four hebrew letters must be expressed on all three worlds. This is the reason why the base 10 number system repeats itself after 10. The 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 numbers are the key to learning how to unite the Major and Minor arcana. By combining 1 with 0 ten is produced. The numbers 4, 7, and 10 are involved in transfer to different worlds. The court card of the king is the location for the Hebrew letter of yod. In the number sequence of 1 through 10 the numbers assigned to the yod position are 1,4, and 7. The court card of the Queen is the location for the first Hei. This position is quite specific and cannot be substituted with another image. The numbers assigned to this Hei are 2,5,8. The court card of the knight is assigned the Hebrew letter of Vav. This hieroglyph is similar in shape to the human nervous system of spine and brain stem. The Vav position is 3,6,9. The final Hebrew letter in the divine name provides the strength to return to the origin. The court card for this is the knave or Page. The numerical value is 10. As a consequence of having three worlds and four parts to this divine name the explanation as to why the 12 signs of the zodiac are required is possible. The 12 constellations can be grouped together into 3 members each of 4 elements. Enlarged region of the origin shows the Fool card surrounded by the four Pages of the Waite Tarot deck. For clarity they are omitted on the Saturn diagram. These cards are referred to a Knaves in the diagram. These cards require that they are grouped by gender. Notice How in the cross arrangement the male keys are facing each other from opposite poles. The Page of Wands opposes the Page of Swords. Both are Masculine in gender. The Page of cups opposes the Page of Pentacles. Both are Feminine in gender. This cross of four is inscribed into a circle. The circle is inscribed into a triangle. This is a representation of the philosopher's stone. The arcanium 10 or (X) is the wheel of Ezekiel. Its function allows to raise man at the expense of lowering atom. A living atom descends upon the sphere enduring the various arcanium. The atom must fall through the material world that is outlined in the minor arcana. First the atom must descend through the spiritual decade. This decade is composed of the Wand and Cup. The diagram shows the Wands as Sceptres. The direction of travel is through increasing numbers. This is going down the Tree of Life. The numbers are 1,4,7,and 10. This is from the Crown or Ace of Wands to finally the 10 of Wands. This represents the material world called Kingdom. An inverse journey is taken from Cups to Swords. This involves traveling from the kingdom 10 to the crown 1. Finally the atom reenters arcanium 10. At this point the atom must move to a new arcanium. This is the Hermit 9. This key is a veiled lamp. A new set of Minor Arcana are required to be journeyed. He again must pass the wands and cups, 2,5,8 through the Queens. By moving through the material world of the cups the atom must then remount through the second duad series of sword and pentacle. Here the atom passes through arcanium 12 The hanging man. The atom moves through 3,6,9 of wands and cups. Then cross the 10 of swords and 10 of pentacles. Here by remounting through the world of the swords and pentacles the atom can reenter the intelligent world. The atom after experiencing the material can leave the zodiac and pass through arcanium 13 to enter the spiritual world and achieve redemption A representation of the king sector. Not shown would include tree of life diagrams for king of cups, 1,4,7 and king of swords 1,4,7 and lastly the king of pentacles 1,4,7. A representation of the queen sector. Those not shown would be tree of life diagrams for queen of wands, 2,5,8 and queen of swords 2,5,8 queen of pentacles 2,5,8. A representation of the knight sector. Those not shown would be tree of life diagrams for knight of wands, 3,6,9, knight of cups, 3,6,9, and knight of pentacles, 3,6,9. This Mandela is still the scroll form of the human body. How does this differ from the Major arcana? The Mandela above provides information of body systems. These are represented by the planet and zodiac keys.
