The Tarot of Eli, LLC-Minor Arcana: Dreams of Gaia Tarot- 3 of Earth & Thoth Tarot- 3 of Disks-Works

#tarotqabalahthothelitarotstrickingly.com

The Dreams of Gaia Tarot- 3 of Earth, depicts a Satyr planting acorns, and fertilizing them with its own blood, while a squirrel looks on. Here the card displays the great work of Nature. However, it also represents a time of preparation.  It is time to prepare your brain for the seeds of your need, desire and/or ideas. To do the necessary ground work, requires "good soil", not a "soil" full of rocks, thorns, and weeds.

1. In the brain, soil full of rocks, is a brain stressed about life and daily living; heavily burdened by perceived responsibilities by taking on more than you need to. 
2. Thorns would be the thoughts of defeat, of sorrow, of failure and weakness. 
3. Weeds, are just dogma, and indoctrination that has grown with us as we grew up. The sour seeds of the Patriarchy. 

Just as in planting a high producing crop, we must first till the soil and/or exorcise the weeds, rocks, and thorns from the soil. Then fertilize it with our heart felt love of being, the very blood of our Soul. For you are the Soul's most beloved, conceived out of its own declaration of Self. It is time to exorcise the "bedeviling" demons of thought that plague a slave and drain one's brain of life. You must will yourself to change, as the outcome of all the work necessary to "be Authentic", and/or a True Persona of your Soul, can only be equal to the investment you are willing to make in this very moment. It may be hard, be that as it may, for it is time to remove the rocks, pull the thorns and weeds out of the Self-Ground/ the I Am that you occupy as a Me. Then one must fertilize that ground with gratitude, thanking the Soul and/or Spirit for making them its in-form-action. For data understood, becomes information which is the Truth of this world. Truth is made manifest! Hence, you must find your Soul's truth and its faith in you. For Power, is the ability to do work and you are here to do the Work Inspired by your Soul, the I Am who is the true author of you. Hence, you have no "outside" authority. I Am the will, I Am the way, I Am the wealth, I own the day! Not even the worst environment can stop that Willful declaration! For Spirit is Will.

This 3 of Earth card also represents a time of sacrifice in the weeks and months ahead (giving of one's blood). Decisions may be offered that appear as limitations and restrictions. Here, even if one feels frustrated, annoyed and/or reluctant, one must focus on what the end result will bring. Therefore, the future may offer moments of adversity, and hardship that makes one want to throw their hands in the air and give up. Therefore, resolve may be challenged in weeks to come, just know that all that you hope to achieve is dependent upon your willingness to make a commitment now, and then honor that commitment to the end. This commitment will become known and respected by those around you. Such a commitment may even increase opportunities that come your way.

When the Dreams of Gaia -3 of Earth, is thrown in a divination, it implies:

• Time to make preparations.
• Risking future goals and ambitions. 
• Time of investment as sacrifice equals reward.
• A time of restriction or adversity.
• Increased opportunity.
• People notice commitment and dedication.
• Maintain intimacy and connections.

The 3 of Disks-Works represents endurance, strong physical determination, and tenacity. This is the ability to give the "works" to what you want. This is the card of nobility; that of trade, skilled labor, renown and glory.

The pyramid symbolizes focused power as commitment and priority. The blue light surrounding the pyramid states the capacity of clarity; clarity about what you will or will not give your energy, mind and body to. In other words, “the Works". The gray waves in the back ground represent confusion; However, this confusion has been broken through by the lighted pyramid of clear intention, clarity of priorities and commitments. The 3 red wheels represent the alignment of mind, heart and action.

The astrological sign of Mars in Capricorn adorns this card, as Mars is the planet of activity, energy, vitality and assertion. Capricorn represents, the assertion of Mind, Heart and Action with focused intention moving in the same direction of tangible and secure manifestation. To the Universal Self, "The Works" is Life Itself so when we align our Will (mind) and soul (heart) and action (body) towards priorities, commitments and/or what we wish to give "the works" to----we align with Universal Priorities which can enhance all that we are determined to do. All we have to do is focus undaunted commitment, and begin with what we have. The Universal Priority of I AM will accelerate us towards our goal.

This card represents the influence of Binah (Mother-Goddess) in the physical world. The 3 of Disks also represents, trade, skilled labor, physical persistence, tenacity, endurance and strong determination to get the job done. For the Alchemist and Qabalist, Works represents the combinations of Mercury, sulfur, and salt while also being the material letters Aleph (air), Mem (water) and Shin (fire); The Wholly Trinity. Illustrated on this Thoth card is the pyramid of crystallized forces rises out of the Great Sea of Binah.

Since this card represents the Divine Ability to create material manifestation from "thoughts", it reminds us that we must keep heart and soul involved in our creativity in order to manifest our ideals. To see our dreams as children to be born, and go about paying attention to detail and dedicate our heart and soul towards this goal. This is love of being, in order to nurture our dream into fruition. To those who love creating---expressing their soul into matter, diligence becomes the only time limit because they love the act of creating more than the goal attained. Such people are in -tune with the Great Work which is to be and/or I AM ME. It is not what you become that is important, it is being the authentic you that is important in order to keep a transforming energetic presence. Living the Now, is better than hoping to be living a future; A future which is liquid and only swirls to the currents of your present motion!

The Four 3's are associated with Binah who is the Great Mother and is called UNDERSTANDING. In Understanding, the idea/data becomes fertilized and a child can be born. The formulation of the Triangle, (Kether-Crown, and Chokma-Wisdom & Binah-Understanding) is a stability that cannot be made unstable. We know the Triangle that begins all birth as many combinations of 3. Maid-Mother-and Crone, each a special perspective on Womb-rite. Father-Son- and Holy Ghost, each an active part of the stable foundation of "the Spirit Fire" or rite of Phallus. Ocean-Rain-and River, each a process of Life or Ocean-Sun-and Earth. While The Mind is made up of the Universal Collective Unconscious; While we experience the mind in layers of , subconscious (body), unconscious (soul) and conscious (personality), we can go on and on but in all cases, when the 3 layers work as One, a fertilization is achieved and a child can be born.

The 3 of Wands is called Virtue, and/or The Lord of Virtue (Husbandry), for in this state of conscious energy, the idea of will and dominion has become interpreted in Character. Hence Character is the child born.

The Three of Cups is called Abundance and/or the Lord of Abundance where the idea of Love has come to fruition. Hence, the fruits of Love become the children born. The Threes are far enough down the Tree of Life to begin seeing definite differentiation between the suits, giving birth to the idea of division----so that "many can be made from the One who is Three".

The idea of division, of mutability, which is the "airy" quality of things, is made manifest in the 3 of Swords. Hence, the understanding o mutability and diversity are the child born. The 3 of Swords is named SORROW; Not the vulgar sorrow of individual discontent or disappointment but the Sorrow of the Dark Binah, and/or of the Dark Isis. In German this great sorrow is called Weltschmerz, the universal sorrow. It is the quality of Melancholy. I find it easier to understand the 3 of Swords by understanding the Great Mother's sorrow over her seeing the Bright Shimmering Beauty of Her Children and because of "freedom of choice", unable to intervene when watching her children become ugly in their own minds as they identify themselves as monsters. All of which happens when fear is the foundation of our ideas/identity rather than Love.

The 3 of Disks ( Traditional Pentacles) exhibits the crystallization of forces, which is the idea of Earth, which began as the Kether shouted Eheieh, which means "I Will Be". Look around you and at you, for there is an obvious manifestation of Work having been done. This is also often called the Great Work and/or Life creating the Alive. This may make more sense to you if you remember that the “other-side of the Mirror", is the Dark Place where Life is the Upper and/or Supernal Triangle of the Tree of Life, and the Alive are the Child made manifest from this Union of Conscious Energy (Forces), that combine to make the Crystallization of Light the Reflective side of the Mirror! This conceptualization of a two-sided mirror that is the Mind, goes far in explaining why "Mirror Magic' is so often used to insure manifestation of idea into a "living expression". Or you can say "from the warm, wet Darkness of the nurturing womb, Light is born." The Soul is the mirror your Identity is reflected upon. To the Soul, you are its self-awareness made manifest as the I AM and the Me. Yet, the Patriarchy has become your "self reflection" by the trickery of words that manipulate the ideas of whom you are, "hook line and sinker". Propaganda, dogma, and indoctrination, all forms of trickery, have blinded you to your Real Self-Reflection. The I Am of the soul manifested as a "me", and/or individual expression of Self.

A lot has been said, but not many understand that the body is merely a Reflection, of your Mental Side; the invisible you who is the majority of you. (You are physically 99.6% invisible), It is in the Dark-Invisible , warmth, of your "infinite light" (Spirit) that all Life comes from. The body is Alive, but in itself is not Life, Life is Spirit which is from the Greek word Spiro, meaning "Breath". As stated, the body is a Reflection of Life and/or the Will to Be. "I Will Be" is the Hebrew word Eheieh which sounds like the exhalation of breath. Therefore, think well from your deep dark places, of Mind and Heart, to be Alive and Well!

It pays to remember this axiom, “Do unto another as you would have done to you."...for that is in itself a Triangle of three---Idea, Cause and effect. It is unbreakable in its stability. So it pays to know what your ideas create. If you identify "others" instead of "Another’s" (everyone I see is another way to be Me.) you will keep lessening yourself until your life force can no longer sustain the body health and balance. To think less of others, is to lessen yourself. Your thoughts, ideas, and opinions only effect the Cause of Yourself. Your Reflection, enacts your Deep thoughts, into "aliveness". Your body is the only one who feels your thoughts and then must enact them. Therefor, we are not responsible for how "others" react to us, for that is their motion in life. We are, however, the response of reaction to our own thought! Others are just another way to be Divine Children; Children who have the Goddess given Freedom of Choice; gifted Divine Children, who have a right to their identities, be they ill or well thought out.

Love, is intelligence as it is both wise and understanding---not the act of a simpleton but of a Powerful Spirit Being. To Love Being----is to be love.

The Magus knows, that to be able to "think" means you are not the effect called Thought, but the Cause of it. So my thoughts aren't "my precious", they are the cause that effects the Alive and hopefully ordered enough to work effectively but that can only be proven by experiencing them! I then have the Knowledge to make, and remake thought to improve the function of my body, rather than think that I am the thought I think, and must defend those thoughts to the death. An action which then elevates idea above the Alive. This is silly as eliminating the Alive or at least enslaving the Alive to thought when being Alive and its expansion and liberation from past thought’s self- imposed limits, is the very reason for the evolutionary Union of Spirit/Light and Matter/Crystallized light. Crystallized light, is just like melted sand, it becomes a "looking glass".

Self-Reflection, requires bodies! To make thought Sensual, is necessary to create a screening process; a living form of experience! We are a creative Spirit who can devote our though controlled “time/space" to "expanding and liberating" the Self from the survival thinking of the animal domain. This in turn expands and liberates self-awareness! By the feelings of Love or Fear generated by the Communion of idea with a sensual- living laboratory, ideas become experimental processes that either free the body from the past or bind it to the past. Idea alone is not enough to properly operate the Alive! Life depends on the Threesome of the Divine Wedding, which is the triangle made of Idea, the Union of Wisdom and Understanding, to create the Beautiful Bright Child called Knowledge!

When you understand the 3's, you begin to understand your Godhood.

To reiterate, the Thoth Deck 3 of Disks-Work, represents the Great Work, the establishment of the material Universe and the determination of its basic form. The 3's are the number of the Great Mother Binah, the 3 of Disks is the Influence of the Great Mother, The Creatrix, The Form Maker, in/on the Sphere of Earth. Here, Binah is illustrated as background on the Thoth card, as the Great Sea of Binah in the Night. The fact that Unlimited Light is dark, is shown by the mottled gray, indigo and green pattern of the active sea whose waves are consciousness. For light to be visible, it has to have measure, such as 180 miles per second and/or Time.

Also, Mars in Capricorn is the celestial ruler of this card. Placing Mars in his most exalted state. Here, when linked to Capricorn, the Martian energy is constructive and he is an exceptional builder and engineer.

The view of this card is that of a pyramid as seen from above its apex. The 3 wheeled base, represents the three Mother Letters of the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph (Air), Shin (Fire), and Mem (Water) or the alchemical system of Mercury, Sulfur, and Salt. If you are of the Hindu persuasion, the three wheels represent the 3 Rajas, Sattva and Tamas (Gunas). Or as the 3 images of the Hindu Goddess Durga.

To a Qabalist, the Great Work is to make the "As above, so below", which is a process of "Above all things, know thyself", all of which is achieved by remembering the Spiritual journey "down" the Mind's Tree of Life by consciously traveling "back up" and thus opening our personalities to the Great Personality that began this process of Macrocosm to Microcosm. To "Remember thyself", is to know your divinity, not just believing in it.

Part of the Great Work is to establish a "Knowing Evolutionary" state of “expanding and liberating", the animal brain from, survival thinking limits that keep it from Wisdom. Survival thinking is based on Fear, and Fear is the foundation of all Evil. To a Qabalist, Wisdom is the ability to "create-see error-and correct it", for we know that Wisdom is 50% error, and 50% correction; to the animal brain to make error is feared as a survival blunder thus keeping it from progressing. The wise know that we must make mistakes when creating in a "cause and effect" universe, as entropy is part of all material creation. Entropy, is always seeking to "proceed from order to disorder (2^nd law of Thermodynamics), and the Universal solution to that chaos, is to keep up motion by constant change. In other words, "to expand and liberate" creation from previous boundaries. If you know yourself at all, you will know that the Hu-Man Being and/or the God-Mind in Manifestation, is the Solution to conscious limitations. We have the "Mind of Goddess/God", often called Imagination; Imagination is what I call "the Womb with a view”. Thus we can see beyond our senses, we can plot and give birth to futures. We are visionary in our sight and see beyond the entropy of the moment. To know thyself, is to know that the moment doesn't contain you and that it is just a moment, whereas you, are a Master of Time /Space and have the power to change moments, just by perspective alone. Hence by observation you change the future.

When the Three of Disks is thrown, the querent is or will be experiencing:

• Paid employment, in the next three weeks or 3 months.
• Successful business transactions from working and constructive force.
• Building up, erecting, and realization and increase of material things.
• Cleverness, in business that entertains a certain selfishness as they are keen in the matter of gain.
• A time of inventing, engineering and creating where all things material is moving together within 3 weeks or 3 months.
• Communal work, where working together brings about success.
• If the Three of Disks is surrounded by Trump (Major Arcana), the querent is on the Spiritual journey of the Great Work, and is accomplishing the Task of Remembering the "As above", thus manifesting it "so below". 
• When thrown this card declares that in the next 3 weeks or 3 months is the best time to get clear on your priorities, commitments and to determine what you are willing to give "the works" to. It is also the best time to reassess or clarify your relationships with Capricorn people (December 21- January 21). This is a time where clarity seems to come out of no-where allowing you to see clearly priorities and commitments that you wish to tenaciously stick to making them solid and stable in your life.

As in all cards, the definition is modified by dignity. If ill dignified by the accompanying cards, the 3 of Disks,

• Represents narrow and prejudiced thought and sometimes the seeking of the impossible.
• Senseless fervor.
• Without direction.
