From the Da Vinci Enigma Tarot, the Page of Water (Cups); from the
Insectorum Divinorum, Swarm:
The subject of this sketch was nicknamed Salai (little devil); he was hired by Da Vinci as a model but had a penchant for stealing. Yet he eventually became a devoted and trusted assistant to Leonardo. The
dimmi for this card asks, "What needs your support?" The Page of Cups, with his sensitive and tender heart, is always on board for compassion and kindness. Yet the Swarm card cautions to beware of 'collective wisdom' as it is often not wise at all but simple herd mentality. Perhaps the person who needs support is the lone 'crackpot' who questions jumping off the cliff into the sea.
The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are. ~David Icke
The basket of deplorables; they got a president elected. Herd mentality indeed.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the other basket was so divided they couldn't elect an opponent that could win. So I guess there is a middle ground needed somewhere...
Deleteit is so easy to get caught in mob mentality. Everyone thinks/says it, it must be so. In the early years I bought a number of stupid decks based on the mob...
ReplyDeleteI still get tempted by pretty decks; I'm learning to find images online and see how I would read them. Usually I don't much info from them.
