From the Tabula Mundi Tarot, the Ace of Cups; from the Universe Cards, Binary System:
Meleen describes the Ace of Cups as receptiveness that leads to form (the manifestation of a relationship). Often what is poured out runs off an overturned cup not willing to be filled. For these folks, past experience has made them believe no one is to be trusted and allowed into the heart. Unknowingly, they have painted with too wide a brush in an effort to protect themselves. Trust is hard to cultivate where there is fear, but consistency of action may create a more open mind - that there is also a chance for joy and devotion. Binary System is a pair of stars linked by mutual gravity, a relationship of sorts. There is a give and take in mutual, healthy relationships, an interdependence rather than an imbalance of dependency or control. Such is a gift not to be missed.
To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is... what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us. ― Timothy Keller
We all seek The Grail, and then don't know what to do with it once found.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll learn.
DeleteI learned through study, anger is mostly fear. I still have the hair trigger, but now mostly I can stop and say what the hell fear am I reflecting back on myself.
ReplyDeleteMy self inventory has shown the same - fear often masquerading as anger.
