ELEVATING ARCHETYPES
Written by Timothy Brainard
In the Crystal Self experience, we learn about how to synthesize the values of number frequencies with tarot archetypes, totem animals, developmental stages (and much more) in order to establish an expanded sense of who we are (and get to be) right now. This larger view of self permits a wider receptivity to everything we value most in life. Amazingly, we can learn to use these figurative symbols in creative ways that yield pragmatic benefits each day. The tarot represents a powerful example of this effort. Traditional interpretations of the tarot tend toward fatalistic messaging - a factor I have never felt quite right about myself. In the Crystal Self, we learn to weed out unproductive energies like this, which is a major step in its own right; but it was not until I built the Tarot Table that the next important step revealed itself.
Using the Frequency Tables, we can disentangle ourselves from adverse interpretations + begin to draft constructive ones instead. By cross-referencing the Tarot Table with the Words Table, these important cards begin to speak. (Their words become empowered + uplifting; we expand.) Here are just a few examples from the past few days of pulling cards with Lara. Each of the examples turns traditional descriptions on their heads. And each of these examples served us well. Enjoy:
FIVE OF WANDS (Strife), 31: Ascend, Divine, Figure 8, Flow, Freedom, Genius, Honor, Impel, Secure, Seeing, Sing, Song, Unifying
TEN OF WANDS (Oppression), 36: Allow, Command, Courageous, Devote, Earth, Emerald, Empire, Ether, Giver, Gracious, Grounded, Heart, Husband, Impeccable, Laughing, Light, Musical, Vigor
THREE OF SWORDS (Sorrow), 57: Ancient Magic, Covenant, Divine Love, Empowered, Fearless, Luxurious, Spirit, Stability, Trinity, Uplifting, Visionary
NINE OF SWORDS (Cruelty), 63: Artistic, Cultivated, Exquisite, Intelligence, Light of My Life, Optimism, Pleasant, Simple Beauty, Tranquil
NOTE: Less than two months after this was written, The Liberated Tarot was revealed. With the Revelation came a thorough evolution of each tarot member we considered here.
