#2. Through me its unfailing wisdom takes form in thought and word.

The pastel art on this stunning Thoth card represents the Harmony of Change, a concept that might initially defy the survival instincts of the subconscious mind, which often equates security with maintaining control and stability. However, this notion is merely a trick of thought, as no day truly replicates another.

There exists a pervasive belief, perpetuated by those seeking dominance, that carbon in its crystalline form—most notably as diamonds—is among the most precious substances. Diamonds, despite their abundance and lack of life, hold sway over our perceptions, serving as a potent symbol of monopolistic word hypnosis controlled self-value. Ironically, they lack the essence of life and find utility only in industrial applications, such as cutting and sanding. Contrastingly, living organisms thrive on the adaptable nature of carbon atoms, which serve as the fundamental building blocks of life due to their malleability and capacity for change. Hence, Life itself is inherently dynamic, defying any attempt at complete stability—a truth underscored by the principles of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, which dictate the progression from order to disorder. Chaos, the driving force behind universal change, ensures that forms continually shift, preventing the onset of total entropy.

At its core, creation embodies the essence of communion and sexuality, wherein the carbon atom, known for its promiscuity in bonding with other atoms, earns the epithet of the universal "Harlot" or Scarlet Woman, a product born in the crucible of red suns.

On the Thoth Card, the Serpent in the form of a vertical figure eight, is the ancient sign of infinity (Ouroboros--the serpent that eats its own tail is another one) and shown on the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, above the head of the Magician as a horizonal figure 8 known as the lemniscate. 

Ouroboros, the serpent that eats its own tail, is a symbol that illustrates the knowledge that Life/Organic Matter, eats itself to stay alive. Order is also eaten by Chaos which causes a necessary reordering of energy which is a flowing transformation that in the world of atoms keeps some carbon atoms from forming into static diamonds by flowing back and forth from opposites!

The serpent figure is crowned, on the Thoth 2 of Disks, for that is the symbol of the 1st Sephiroth- Kether, on the Tree of Life and the shape of the Serpent is in the form of the lemniscate (Greek for "ribbon") and/or the infinity symbol that is usually shown above the Magus or Magician's head in traditional tarot. This is also the symbol for 0=2 which is also easily seen in the yin yang symbol on both circles.

We have wrapped ourselves in the gossamer fabric of molecular bio-protonic carbon organic materials. We are Photon evolution of the Energy Intelligence that many call spirit, but the word is blinding us to the truth of self. I Am the Vibrational Energy Awareness that created the life in forms for the purpose of sensation and therefore, I am not limited to sensual awareness! I Am the Dancing Light of Life itself. Just as the beauty of the diamond is the dancing light it reflects; the human carbon shadow is mine to animate in a parody of Self. As I assemble the "mind stuff" and/or atoms around me, making them into images that I think I AM.

Contrary to Archon controlled dogma, God is not a religion, for that is made by the Human fear-stain because it believes it must defend itself against God. Somehow the knowledge that God is Love, can't penetrate the human stain's fear of being itself. However, the Divine creative is religiously expressing itself as Life.

I AM Life!

I AM God's religion of Being, not seeking one!

To seek love is not to be love. I AM Love!

I AM Life Dancing with its most beloved across the Stars!

If you haven't guessed Life's most beloved is organic matter in the form of Being, then know it now.

The Lost Soul Tarot- 2 of Pentacles is more like the Rider-Waite-Smith 2 of Pentacles than the Thoth Card, although the yin yang symbol and/or the Lemniscate is not shown floating on the universal collective unconscious and/or the Ocean of Mother Binah. Here the Pentacles are floating in space, held together in a peaceful union by the invisible forces of Life that are reflected beneath the pentacles as a halo glow. This card implies that you are finding the balance between multiple priorities. Now you are preforming a juggling act of finding balance between the multiple necessities of life. Ups and downs are not stopping your flexible adaptability. You can balance family, finance, and life decisions, as you are the axle that the spinning wheel of life is attached to.  

In Western Hermetic magic, the Pentacle is a potent and versatile symbol imbued with deep esoteric significance. Here are the key characteristics:

1. Symbolism

• Five Elements: The Pentacle, a five-pointed star enclosed in a circle, symbolizes the five elements of earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. Each point of the star represents one of these elements.
• Protection: Traditionally, the Pentacle is a symbol of protection, often used in rituals to safeguard the practitioner from negative energies or malevolent entities.
• Balance and Harmony: The star within the circle represents the balance and harmony of the elements and the universe.

2. Usage in Rituals

• Altar Tool: The Pentacle is often placed on the altar, serving as a focal point during rituals and ceremonies.
• Concentration and Focus: Used to ground the practitioner and focus their intent, especially in spellwork and invocation.
• Consecration: The Pentacle is used to consecrate and purify ritual tools and objects, imbuing them with magical energy.

3. Material and Construction

• Material: Typically made from metals like brass or silver, or from wood, clay, or other natural materials. The choice of material can correspond to the practitioner's intent and the specific ritual.
• Designs and Inscriptions: Often inscribed with symbols, names of deities, astrological signs, or other esoteric markings to enhance its power and align it with specific energies.

4. Symbolic Associations

• Earth Element: In many traditions, the Pentacle is associated with the element of Earth, representing stability, grounding, and materiality.
• Feminine Principle: Often linked with the feminine aspect of divinity, symbolizing fertility, creation, and nurturing.

5. Historical and Cultural Context

• Ancient Roots: The Pentacle has roots in ancient traditions, including Pythagorean symbolism where it represented health and harmony.
• Medieval and Renaissance Magic: Widely used in medieval and Renaissance magical practices, it was considered a powerful talisman and a key component in the magical system of the Western Hermetic tradition.

6. Modern Practice

• Wicca and Neo-Paganism: The Pentacle is prominently used in Wicca and other neo-pagan traditions, often worn as a pendant for protection and as a symbol of faith.
• Continued Relevance: Remains a central symbol in modern Western Hermeticism, used in a variety of magical practices and spiritual paths.

The Pentacle’s multifaceted nature makes it a cornerstone of Western Hermetic magic, embodying a profound connection to the elemental forces and the spiritual realms.

The Thoth 2 of Disks card has been assigned the properties of Jupiter in Capricorn.

When Jupiter is in the house of Capricorn in a birth chart, it combines the expansive, optimistic energy of Jupiter with the practical, disciplined qualities of Capricorn. Here are some key characteristics:

1. Ambition with Optimism: Jupiter in Capricorn infuses the individual with a strong sense of ambition and determination. They are likely to set high goals for themselves and pursue them with unwavering optimism and faith in their abilities.

2. Practical Wisdom: While Jupiter is often associated with abstract thinking and philosophical pursuits, in Capricorn, it takes on a more grounded and practical approach to wisdom. Individuals with this placement may seek knowledge that has direct relevance to their career or social status.

3. Success through Hard Work: Capricorn is known for its focus on hard work, responsibility, and achievement. With Jupiter here, there is a potential for great success through diligent effort and perseverance. These individuals may be willing to put in the necessary work to reach their goals and aspirations.

4. Financial Growth: Jupiter in Capricorn can indicate opportunities for financial growth and stability. They may have a knack for managing resources effectively and making wise investments that yield long-term benefits.

5. Respect for Tradition: Capricorn is a sign that values tradition, structure, and authority. Individuals with Jupiter in Capricorn may have a deep respect for established institutions and may seek to work within existing systems to achieve their goals.

6. Long-Term Planning: Jupiter in Capricorn encourages strategic thinking and long-term planning. These individuals are likely to have a clear vision of their future goals and are willing to take gradual steps to achieve them, even if it means delaying gratification in the short term.

7. Leadership Abilities: Capricorn is associated with leadership and authority, and Jupiter here can amplify these qualities. Individuals with this placement may naturally assume positions of leadership or authority, inspiring others with their vision and determination.

Overall, Jupiter in Capricorn combines the expansive energy of Jupiter with the practicality of Capricorn, resulting in individuals who are ambitious, disciplined, and committed to achieving their goals through hard work and perseverance.

The Rider-Waite and the Lost Soul Tarot 2 of Pentacles both suggest the more mundane underlying pattern of alternation in all matter by showing us a juggler of 2 Pentacles surrounded by an infinity-lemniscate symbol or by 2 golden Pentacles hovering in balance. Here, is the symbol of the Infinite Feminine and the Infinite Masculine as One Energy, the O-Fool, is "turned upon itself": 0=2.

A further suggestion of this profound relationship of opposites is depicted in the background on the RWS 2 of Pentacles as two ships ride the waves of a high sea.

The word Yoga translates into the English word-communion and as the Divine God and Goddess dance they hold the inhale and exhale of Life in communion as the two pentacles. It is said that man danced before he spoke. He certainly danced before he painted and sculpted reliefs on his walls. All cultures of the world have given dance a ritual status before any formal ritual or liturgy was codified in texts or recreated through relief or paint.

Yoga (the word means communion), like dance, is much more than a mere physical exercise. It is a holistic way of relating to the body that involves an increasing awareness on all levels: the physical, the mental, and the spiritual. Yoga unites the functions of each of these aspects of our self-trinity. This is true for dance also. Certainly, any successful dance performance is characterized by a balanced harmony between the body, mind, and spirit. What is suggested here is that dance, like yoga, is a conscious attempt at integrating all the tiers of our existence. It does not negate but on the contrary affirms the sensual nature of our objective physical being and treats it as fundamental to any attempt at spiritual awareness as our subjective intangible soul.

The pairing of our anima (Parvati) and animus (Shiva) in the Universal dance (Vibration) gives our unconscious the ability to realize self as intimacy on the physical plane---making the unconscious more likely to join with the awake consciousness and thereby dispelling the Archon sponsored false ego of the survival mind which is lodged in the brain and is the human fear-stain on our Celestial Intelligence. This rhythmic assistance of Celestial intelligence known as Wisdom and Understanding, joined in rhythmic union with the subconsciousness aids us in each of our projects, and the life cycle we set for ourselves which illuminates a path towards healing the mental illness of separation and/or divisionism thinking. We are stimulated mentally towards circumspection, prudence, and judgement- allowing impulses to settle. Impulsiveness, haste, and superficiality are weak foundations for the ephemeral work of as above so below. Hence, they are a mental stain to remove by introspective scrubbing of I AM!

As a Spiritual Being of Energy conscious, I find this constant dance of change especially useful in developing intelligence and intimate self-awareness (Create--see entropy and correct it) for entropy here is seen as error, correcting error is the developmental process of wisdom, as well as the foundation of evolutionary being, i.e., adaptability!

Most of us know the Yin Yang symbol of Taoist origin, and on the Thoth Card, it is shown in both loops of the serpent figure eight with the symbols for fire and water at the top one, spinning to the left and the symbols for air and earth, spinning to the right are shown on the bottom yin yang symbol. The yellow color is the Masculine Force (electric), and the darker colors are the Feminine Form which is the invisible magnetic force. In the Qabalah, the union of Force (male) and Form (female) is seen as the foundation of all being. The Serpent is the representation of serpentine energy, known as frequency and/or microwaves which are produced by the Dance of Creator-Shiva and Creatrix- Shakti.

Astrologically, the Thoth card is Jupiter in Capricorn. The benevolent Planet Jupiter is not well placed in Capricorn meaning that Jupiter's good influence can only be exerted as an organizer; hence you are trying to achieve balance. The Feminine Creative or the Ocean of Magnetic Force (Binah) and Masculine currents of electric force (Chokmah) are being organized into living forms on/in the Material of Malkuth---which is the 10th Sephiroth on the Tree of Life.

Kabbalists/Qabalists know Kether to be the 1st Sephira, source of all 10 and many have thought that this is the first manifestation of conscious energy. Yet Kether is the crown on the Tree of Life, whose sacred stone is a diamond, is the "limitless light" and has no end or beginning, which allows no viewing, let alone any real understanding. Kether is the "Dark Sun" but to us shown as a white sephirot sphere, for it is the infinite unseen balance of all weights of colored light and is the least understood concept of the Tree of Life sigil. Thus, the First idea of manifestation falls to the 2's which represent Chokma (Wisdom) who, although being the first "male expression", is also a Hebrew feminine noun that translates into the Greek Goddess Sophia-Wisdom. Elements may be essences in Kether, but only upon reaching the Deuces are they in appearance as ideas.

The 2's not only represent Chokmah-the 2nd Sephiroth on the Qabalistic Tree of Life, but also the Elements uncontaminated by influence; hence they appear in their original harmonious condition.

1. For instance: the 2 of Wands is called Dominion and/ or Lord of Dominion because the word Lord implies Husbandry in its original Feudal Anglo Saxon meaning of "Keeper of her property"; the 2 of Wands is the Fire Element in its purest form and is the "movement within all motion".
2. The 2 of cups, often called The Lord of Love and is the Purest Form of Water (fluid-like energy flow), i.e. consciousness.
3. The 2 of Swords has been called the Lord of Peace or Peace. We know that swords represent "mind" but since there is no conflict to solve at this stage of manifestation, there is only Peace.

It requires a moment of thought to understand the Ace (seed) of any suit, for it is a State of "I "without the "Am" paradox of imaging self, within one-self. This can be a real brain teaser simply because it is the Negative form of a Positive idea.... It’s as if it is the negative electrons attracting positive electrons (protons) to make a form manifest from a dream in the " stardust" of time/space. All is Mind and like I said, a moment of thinking is necessary here, as the general proposition states that the sum of the one energy is zero, so that the Positive manifestation "isn't" real, it is reality as a dream of I AM, while the Real is infinite zero.

In Gematria, the mystical system of assigning numerical value to letters and words, the number 2 holds significant symbolic meanings. Here are the key characteristics of the number 2 in Gematria:

1. Duality and Polarity

• Balance: The number 2 represents balance and duality. It signifies the equilibrium between opposing forces, such as light and dark, good and evil, masculine and feminine.
• Complementarity: It embodies the idea that dualities are not in conflict but complement each other, forming a harmonious whole.

2. Relationships and Partnerships

• Connection: The number 2 symbolizes relationships, partnerships, and cooperation. It is associated with the concept of two entities coming together to form a partnership, be it in friendship, love, or business.
• Harmony: Emphasizes the importance of harmony and mutual respect in relationships.

3. Reflection and Mirroring

• Self-Reflection: The number 2 often implies self-reflection, as it can be seen as one looking into a mirror. This aspect highlights the importance of understanding oneself through the reflection of others.
• Understanding: It encourages empathy and understanding, seeing things from another's perspective.

4. Sensitivity and Intuition

• Emotional Sensitivity: The number 2 is linked with heightened sensitivity and intuition. It represents a deep emotional awareness and the ability to sense and respond to the needs of others.
• Psychic Abilities: Often associated with psychic and intuitive abilities, emphasizing the importance of trusting one's inner voice.

5. Symbolism in the Hebrew Alphabet

• Letter Bet (ב): In Hebrew Gematria, the number 2 corresponds to the letter Bet. Bet is the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet and signifies a house or dwelling, representing containment and protection.
• Biblical Context: Bet is the first letter of the Torah, beginning the word "Bereshit" (Genesis), symbolizing the beginning of creation and the duality of existence.

6. Spiritual and Esoteric Meanings

• Unity in Duality: On a spiritual level, the number 2 symbolizes the unity found in duality, the oneness that emerges from the interaction of two complementary forces.
• Path of Wisdom: Encourages the pursuit of wisdom through balance and cooperation, understanding that true knowledge often arises from the interplay of differing perspectives.

7. Numerological Associations

• Life Path: In numerology, individuals with a life path number 2 are seen as peacemakers and mediators. They are thought to be diplomatic, gentle, and patient, with a natural inclination towards partnership and collaboration.
• Challenges: The number 2 also indicates challenges related to indecisiveness and dependency, emphasizing the need for individuals to find balance and assertiveness.

The number 2 in Gematria encapsulates the essence of duality and balance, underscoring the interconnectedness of all things and the importance of harmonious relationships. Its rich symbolic meanings offer deep insights into both personal and universal aspects of existence.

Thus, the phrase, "The other side of the Mirror" is the Real side. Or we can say that the image in the reflected side of the mirror is subject to the self-conceptual presentation of I AM radiated as form from the invisible side of the mirror. It is, therefore, proper to say that I AM is real, for it describes "existence" and what the I AM thinks it is (as a Me), is all assumption/self-reflection which is also called "illusion" and/or the theory of what I AM. You as Spirit-Mind-Body represent an experiment in Self-Awareness, present the theories of self as thought and prove them as life expanding or not by experience. Remembering that all experiments are failures until they aren't keeps one experimenting with Self-awareness as a manifestation of I AM.

The 2 of Disks in most Tarot, is representative of Change, and/or Lord of Harmonious Change which is what Union produces. Union produces harmonious change simply because energy seeks its own level and when two come together as one, they balance each other, and this works for two states of energy consciousness as well as the human Torus/Aura. Also, Earth is the Throne of Spirit, as the Princesses are related to Earth and since the well-known axiom of Gnosis is "As above so below", we see that once having gotten to the bottom one comes out again at the top. This is a type of Mobius loop (Torus), or lemniscus (Greek for-ribbon) which is the serpentine horizonal figure-eight magus symbol for infinity; "O who is 2", clamping down on its own tail forming an unbroken line, and in each male and female is the infinity of 0=2. Describing the illusion of separation as the line is unbroken and is really One who is both itself and other.

The 2's may be considered the A-sexual "fetuses" of the Seed-Aces but this concept doesn't seem to make understanding these "Higher States" of the invisible conscious energy attraction any easier. All the 2's suggest that when the Negative sees itself as a Positive, and then unites with that Positive, we get a "Self- Image" of individual male and female forces. This may help you with the Mythological concepts of the Goddess who in Virgin birth, has a son (male is considered Positive Electron/Proton and female is considered Negative/ Electron) and then mates with that son to produce the Universe. If you get all tangled up with your profaned- indoctrinated-emotional "flesh-o-phobe" concepts of sexuality-----you'll never understand the Energy Conscious concepts of the 2s.

However, I love to tease the brain, so here is another concept of the 2's, "From herself, she created him, and then mated with him so she could become her." I just love that one! This is not an attempt to obfuscate, but an example of language's inability to explain the Hermaphrodite (Hermes and Aphrodite) that is the Soul. None of us are limited to a gender and/or "a sex", all of us are both genders. This is easily shown, as the self-reflected human brain, which manifests both the feminine side and masculine side of intelligent energy. Hence, the illusion of manifestation creates a gender of 2 that continually seeks to become 1.

But all confusion aside, each of us is a 0 --- a soul, that equals 2 .and as stated; your body's brain, which is a copy of your Psyche, has a feminine and masculine side. Truth be told, we can't truthfully be identified by the naming of a sex of a species as all of us are Hermaphrodite Souls, The I AM psyche, who create the life/breath in a body so that it can represent our presence in the realm of matter; matter assumes it is male or female in body, i.e. ,Malkuth, a realm we as the evolution of Pure Light are not from but wish to manifest a self-concept in for the sole (soul) purpose of fulfilling the divine Will to Be

To repeat myself; Kether is given the God Name of Eheieh in Hebrew, meaning "I Will Be", you are the fulfillment of that will to be. Therefore, you are the Divine Creative's Self-Image who now can experience data/information as in-form-action and thereby, develop self-knowledge by becoming intimate with information; "I AM Being" is the wish fulfillment of the One. You are not the "false ego", the human fear- stain who tells you that you are a slave to the environment and outside authority. Rather, you are the Life that influences the environment and has no outside authority...you are the inner author of your outer life-motion.

You are a Life Force that makes lifetimes!

When the 2 of Disks/2 of Pentacles card is thrown for an individual during a reading, it means:

• Change.
• A transformation in the physical world is upon them in two weeks or two months’ time. 
• This is Cause and Effect and/ or the Law of Attraction, where what we think of the most is formed in the atoms around us as a living observation and/or lifestyle.
• In Physics, it is known that observation changes the observed and most of us know that by observing a thought through the powerful emotions (energy-in-motion) of love or fear will charge that thought into manifested action from benevolent, on one hand, or malevolent on the other. 
• Perspective is everything to a Conscious Energy---which we all know as Spirit. Life is but a perspective of Self-Awareness!
• The ability to juggle or balance more than one project at a time and or two or more situations at one time.
• When the mental aspects attributed to Female (unconscious) and the Male (consciousness), in all of us is balanced, we know Life as Playful Creativity and enjoy the challenges of entropy. Whereas if they are at odds, life becomes a serious struggle where chaos eventually wins.
• That it is better to allow chaos and then reorder it in a new way to be, knowing full well that you can and always have done so as Spirit. Know Thyself! You are originally Spirit; a powerful Observer known as Will-to-Be! From Non- being, you have always created being! This is your inheritance, from Chokma and Binah. "To be the I AM" which is never stasis and always re-observing itself! This state of self-revaluation is the Universal Constant-Transformation. 
• All opposites are only illusions or different outgrowths of the same current of energy.

If ill defined by the surrounding cards in the layout, it implies.

• Instability. 
• Disharmony and/or discord.
• A time for solitude.
