Don Marcello Talking about the Tarot and their strengths and weaknesses came to my mind that I talked about many topics esoteric but vital than ever: the cosmic forces. The speech that I'm facing is complex, ranging in various fields and may also affect those who are not esoteric, but most importantly it is essential to the understanding and use of magic.
Magic is a tool that allows one to connect with the divine component of the cosmos. The man is a continually refers microcosm to macrocosm, both materially and spiritually. Materially affected because of his physical contact with the environment around him, spiritually, because its psychological dimension is made of the same substance that has become the soul of the world. The soul of the world, the famous Viriditas mentioned by St. Hildegard, is composed of the cosmic forces. In humans, these energies are represented by the archetypes of the unconscious. This is why Jung Jungian tradition and have devoted long study of the Hermetic doctrines in order to understand the human unconscious.
cosmic forces are present in every religious tradition and mystique, and while represented in different ways, are similar. An example of Cosmic Powers Christian cabalistic and hermetic is shown by its Major Arcana of the Tarot. To the Celts, they are represented by the runes, but all religious symbols are vehicles of cosmic forces. The astrological signs, associated with virtue, are among those symbols. Just as the natural elements of the western esoteric philosophy, associated with the various planets. In ancient pagan religions cosmic forces are personified by the gods in the Hindu religion and even today they are only the main manifestation of the divine essence (which is why Hinduism recently put into the category of monotheistic religions).
Every religion gives a representation of cosmic forces. In Christianity there are the personifications of the virtues and the harmonic scale of medieval mysticism, where each of the 22 steps is a force to be exercised in order to reach God For every force is an entity angelic choice between the Thrones, Virtues and Dominions. In the Kabbalah sephiroth are the cosmic forces and also are part of a particular angel. Hermetic philosophy in the cosmic forces are the key to achieving the total knowledge and are represented by entities majestic and terrible, very similar to some of the demons and the Egyptian mystery religions. Theosophy part in these ideas and develops a theory that unites all the others. It is from this theory one can understand the true meaning of cosmic forces.
Theosophy incorporates the model universe of the esoteric philosophy or a world whose matter is animated. Beyond the matter, there is the spirit. The spirit is energy and this energy manifests itself in an almost infinite variety of forms. The man plasma this energy by giving them the forms "concrete" in the astral plane, where the energy is more subtle. The astral plane is, although there are various interpretations, a sort of level of thought. A plan where there is a universal memory, the collective unconscious of the universe. It is counts as a pit, where the energy forms of the spirit. The cosmic forces are therefore energy emanating from the divine spirit, the soul of matter known as ether or akasha. They are entities? Ah, here is the crux of the matter! Here is one of the reasons why we talk about Tarot that absorb negative energies, as I said Don Marcello.
cosmic forces are not entities. The energies are cosmic forces with which to draw the entity. They are therefore equipped with a sort of will or intelligence but only develop fully when not formed. In its pure state only related but potentially neutral entity reference. We project our essence, animations. We coocreatori together with the divine spirit. For better and for worse. As harmony in chaos.
The difference between entities and cosmic forces is confirmed by all esoteric, even by those who practice black magic. The famous Satanist Efram the Cat has very clearly explained in an interview that the candle, stone, mantra, stir the cosmic forces, energies. Black magic is that because it uses the Force to summon cosmic entity chaotic, going against nature and against the spirit divine. Therefore not be the cosmic forces to be negative! Chaos is created by man, is a waste of energy and its perversion. It comes from a specific act of will, not found in nature.
I already said that the man Cosmic forces correspond to the archetypes. The archetypes, however, have a double-sided, which combines in itself the potential of cosmic forces. The archetypes can lead the mind to inner peace so that the imbalance. The man, in fact, be implemented that is in power. It has its own essence, what we call nature, but it needs to act out constantly evolving. And this characteristic has led him make mistakes and create negative mental barriers. The archetypes are related to cosmic synchronicity Forces and reference entity, but can result in negative form to the events of divine energy and lead to chaos when the mind is not attentive enough. In this case obvious that negative feelings are awakened at the microcosmic and macrocosmic level to negative entities. The larvae are called demons, the basic principle is the same. It will be recalled that Jung said: "I do not believe in God I know." He meant that, thanks to matching archetypes-macrocosm, he felt the presence of external energy defined as man and divine entities. This is also true in reverse. It is no coincidence that several deities have demon-value is positive or negative, are as heavenly as chthonic powers. Cosmic forces are shaped by man.
At the end of this talk is to wonder what is permissible and what does not when it comes into contact with cosmic forces. Follow the example of Western Christian mystics, who also used tarot cards for meditation, brings certainly on track. Plasma moves and practice the virtues of positive energy. One must also remember not to overdo it, not to exceed the limits imposed by the spirit. Taking the example of the Tarot, one may use it to meditate and help others to understand themselves, but expect to read the future and even to influence it can only bring evil. But you must always keep in mind that man is imperfect and negative archetypes within. Aleister Crowley was based on them to elevate the human spirit. Wiser instead use them as incentive to improve. The defects are nothing but upside merits and excesses of soul. They are the shells of the dark and the astral plane. We must accept them and convert them back to virtue, as we can. That's why the negativity in any magical practice are always lurking. All you need is willpower and exclude them. Wicca teaches that no negativity can enter the charmed circle if the man wants and is not strong enough. Similarly, Christianity says that evil comes from the heart of man.
