For context we return to the intersection of akasha and akasha, how what is right is influenced by what we deeply know. The idea that perfection is the enemy of good, but that we need to strive for the good even when the universe can’t tell us something hard and true. It’s all relative and there isn’t a deep set of laws that we can follow that will be true in all cases and for all people. So we are the Primal, a first mover, the one who creates the elements that make up the world. The power to live a moral life is ours and we must pursue it. It comes from within us, not from without. Then comes the storm that gives us pause. Lightning strikes and provides clear relief to something that had been merely a concept in our minds, now made real and practical. There is a moment of destruction or collapse that we face as we must live out our moral ideas in reality and then deal with the consequences of those actions. We live the book of our lives, our internal world a rich tapestry of thought and ideas, yet everyone else experiences the movie of our actions without that rich context. So we come to the question that eats at everyone with the privilege of debating morality, what do we do when we have excess. What is the right thing to do with what we have but do not need. Is there more goodness in giving, regardless of why or the consequences. Lastly, we are reminded to rest. Even in the face of the struggle to be moral, to know truth, we have to pause and allow our pursuit to settle so that new pathways, new reactions can take hold.
What is Show Me Your Deck?
A podcast with Dean Sage and Jack Kirven where they explore the intersection of oracle decks and chakras, using their original decks to create new insights. Dean's deck is a modern translation of the Tarot that removes gender-norms to reveal the deeper, non-gendered meaning of the cards. Jack's four decks play with the traditional chakra system, examining the way they intersect, rather than using them in isolation. The show allows inspiration to arise from the intersection of all decks using both intuition and chance. Dean pulls his cards as the Tarot reader does, while Jack relies on dice to see which cards his decks will offer up. The result is a reading and a reminder that uses the language of chakras and the diversity of the Tarot.
