From the Tarot of the Cat People, the Five of Swords; from the Sacred Geometry Oracle, Continuous Proportion:
It's one thing to win an argument, but it takes it to another level when the other side is cowed into submission by intimidation. It's not enough that he wears a horned helmet to advertise his bullheaded personality, this man also wears the skins of cats to remind the others who is in charge (and who holds the only opinion that counts). He might get the 'honor' of always being right, but I bet he sleeps with one eye open. Continuous Proportion means that you can't change one thing without affecting everything else. Do something on one side, and the other side will be transformed too. Remove a dam and the water previously held behind it will seek its own level. Though I don't concern myself with rebirth, reincarnation or any form of resurrection, I do put stock in karma (intentional acts, words or thoughts). Both today's cards suggest taking Patrul Rinpoche's words to heart:
Do not take lightly small misdeeds
Believing they can do no harm
Even a tiny spark of fire
Can set alight a mountain of hay.
Do not take lightly small good deeds
Believing they can hardly help
For drops of water one by one
In time can fill a giant pot.
you should be here shouting the message in my ear :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have or have the read the companion book?
I don't have it, neither have I read it. I think it is like a sci-fi novel, about the different tribes.
DeleteMore circles. These cards make me dizzy. I cannot relate.
ReplyDelete"Like a whirlpool it never ends..."
DeleteGreat post and quote. I'll never understand the drive to 'win' by domination. Grrr!
ReplyDeleteThat, unfortunately, defines the dictatorship we're now under.
DeleteWhen you throw a small pebble in a pond the ripples grow larger and larger
ReplyDeleteGreat analogy - those ripples tend to go all the way to the edges.
