Three meanings of tarot cards

Tarot cards have a three-layer structure, the first layer is a big card. Small cards are on the second floor. The court card is on the third floor. Generally speaking, these three layers also compress the relevant knowledge. It is knowledge of consciousness transformation, knowledge of element circulation and knowledge of personality construction.

These three layers of knowledge are interrelated, transformed and communicated with each other, thus forming a whole. Therefore, when solving cards, we can often observe the cycle of these three levels from the overall point of view through the card face.

Big name ~ knowledge of consciousness transformation

The field of consciousness transformation can be traced back to the basic laws of the universe.

As the Tao Te Ching said, everything is negative and holds yang, and it is harmonious. What does this mean? Everything has negative stage, positive stage and neutral stage. Yin and Yang mix to form neutrality. Yin and Yang complement each other and oppose each other. There is no yin without yang, and there is no yang without yin.

The transformation of yin and yang naturally needs to be neutralized. From yin to middle to yang, or from yang to middle to yin.

Therefore, there are three stages in big brands, negative, neutral and positive.

The words of an alchemist are blackening, whitening and reddening.

In the words of Zen, it is ignorance, awareness and wisdom.

In Taoist terms, it is essence, qi and spirit.

In the big card, 22 cards are used to illustrate the process from ignorance to consciousness and then to wisdom.

The three stages can be divided into seven small stages. The formation of ignorance, the development of awareness, and the refinement of wisdom.

Then get sublimation and liberation. This cycle is endless.

This shows that,

Ignorance is a female power,

Consciousness is a neutral force,

Wisdom is a positive force.

It can also be seen that,

Ignorance is the cause of wisdom,

Wisdom is the fruit of ignorance,

However, the consciousness of neutrality is a cultivated hand.

So worry is bodhi.

In this way, through the seven keys of awareness, we can unlock the seven layers of ignorance and then harvest the seven pearls of wisdom.
