Since talking about darkness is a big taboo in spiritual peers here in Finland and there are no good articles to be found on the subject, I decided to share my own experiences on darkness and light with you. Maybe than the mist over the subject will be cleared and the taboo will be lifted…

Tarot card journeys on the Kabbalistic tree of life and confronting the devil

My first experience on the subject was when I made meditative journeys with the Tarot cards of the major arcana. I’ve read in some kabbalah book that it is possible to make meditative journeys on the tree of life using the tarot cards as your guide. So I decided to try it out myself.

   Kabbalistic tree of life with the Circle of Life Tarot cards

The tarot cards represent the spiritual journey each one of us can take during our lifetimes. Each one of us can take the journey from being a Fool to being the whole universe. When we meditate with the tarot cards, we can get acquainted with what will lay a head on our spiritual journey. According to the book I’ve read (I forgot its name), we should begin every journey on the kabbalistic tree of life, from the bottom of the tree, from the Malchut Sephira. And we most also finish each journey in that same sephira. Because the Malchut Sephira represents the physical plane, so it’s good to return to our physical bodies at the end of each meditation.

So I began doing meditative journeys on the kabbalistic tree of life, using the tarot cards.

The first journey I made was: Malchut -> Yesod -> Hod -> Malchut.

I choose the following cards for my meditative journey:

10 Wands -> XXI The World -> 9 Swords -> XIX The Sun -> 8 Cups -> XX Judgement -> 10 Pentacles.

Pentacles represent the physical realm, so I wanted to end the journey with a pentacle card. For the number cards you can choose cards from whichever suit you prefer. Each suit (Pentacles, Cups, Swords and Wands) will have a different feel to it. So, choose your cards intuitively depending on the journey you want to make.

The tarot cards I chose for my first meditative journey on the kabbalistic tree of life

During the journey, I picked the first card I have chosen, and imagined for a second that I am the hero of that card. I then moved on to the next card, and again imagined that I am the hero of that card too. And like that, I went through all the cards I have chosen until I ended back in Malchut again. With each card I got a vision or a sensation and it felt like I’m actually making a physical journey.

Meditation for inner religious peace

Archetypes, Inner and outer peace, Peace, Peace between religions, Religious peace, , ,

The idea behind this meditation is to get to know your own religious archetypes and then create peace between them. Thus enabling you to live in inner religious harmony. Once you are in inner peace, you will be able to project this inner peace all around, bringing peace to the world outside of you as well.

Go to your favorite meditation place, sit down and relax your body and your thoughts.

Allow your mind to quiet down and breathe all the day’s worries out of you. R e l a x.
Once you are in a relaxed state, go deeper into yourself: allow you heart to take you into it self, until you find yourself in the inner temple inside your heart. Ask the spirit of God to join you in your inner home. Surrender to God. Let him/her take care of you. R E L A X and E N J O Y yourself!

Send love to yourself and then receive it from yourself. Allow a bubble of love to be created around you. Feel this love and surrender to it. En joy. Inner joy.

Now you are ready to begin:
Call the inner religious self. (for example, if you are a Christian, then call the inner Christian. If you’re Muslim then call upon the inner Muslim, etc.) Let’s assume you are a Christian and you want to make peace with the rest of the religions around you.
Call upon your inner Christian and let your heart connect you to him/her.
Ask the inner Christian to join you inside your inner home, your inner temple.
Ask the inner Christian: How are you? What do you need to be happy and to live a joyful life?
Let the inner Christian meet the spirit of God inside your inner home. Ask and allow God to supply the inner Christian with all his/her needs. Thank God for his/her help.

Now call upon the other inner religious archetypes in you. Call upon the inner Muslim, the inner Jewish, The inner Buddhist and the inner Hindu. Invite them all into your inner home, your inner temple. Ask them all, one after the other: “What do you need to be happy? To live a fulfilling life?”
Let all the inner religious archetypes, enter your inner home and let them all meet the spirit of God in you.
Once they have all met God, ask them all to allow God to provide them with everything they need.

Now comes the hard part… 🙂

Allow the inner Christian to meet with the inner Muslim.
Ask the inner Christian: “What do you need from the inner Muslim so you that you two can live in peace and harmony?” Than ask the inner Muslim to provide those needs to the inner Christian.
Now change the roles: Ask the inner Muslim: “What do you need from the inner Christian, in order to live in peace with him?” Now ask the inner Christian to provide the inner Muslim with his needs as well. Now that they both have their needs fulfilled, ask them to make inner peace between themselves. Ask them to open their hearts to one another with love, understanding and respect. After all, we are all one… 😉 You can now let the inner Muslim and inner Christian become one.

Now repeat the process with the rest of the them until all the inner religious archetypes know each other and are in peace with one another… ..Until they are all one.

Great! Allah / Elohim / God / Vishnu is great!

Peace! Arje Sakari Silander

Unifying the inner archetypes of Leumria and Atlantis

Archetypes, Ascension, Atlantis, Kabbala, Lemuria, reincarnation, Spirit, Spiritual teaching

As you probably know, once there were two mighty cultures on this planet called Lemuria and Atlantis. Generally speaking, Lemuria was more feminine and Atlantis was more masculine. Both cultures were very advanced, and both thought they were more “right”, then the other one.
Right and wrong is, off course, a matter of point of view. If you are a Lemurian then your way seems to be the right way. If you are an Atlantian then your point of view is the right one of course… 🙂

Because both cultures deemed themselves to be right, they inevitably went into war, on who was more “right” then the other.
As we all know, both cultures were wrong and they both lost:
Atlantis won the war and destroyed Lemuria (I was there and seen the destruction). But once Lemuria sank, the balance of the Earth was lost and as a result Atlantis sank too (I watched that too from the deck of a ship).

So in a way both of the cultures lost the war, because they went into war in the first…

Although Atlantis sank, their methods and ways of thinking are the ones who control the Earth today. If you live in the western society you only need to look around you: this is Atlantis. The masculine Atlantian energy is the one controlling the planet at the moment.

When one energy controls the other – an imbalance occurs. Since all life naturally tends to return to equality, this is the process we are witnessing in the last few centuries:
The feminine energies are becoming stronger so as to balance the controlling masculine energies.
In a way, the Lemurian feminine way of thinking is raising too, so as to balance the Atlantian way of thinking.

Balancing yourself through the heart

As you all probably know, life is always fluctuating between two polarities, until a balance is achieved.

A graph showing how the cultures Atlantis and Lemuria are slowing balancing themselves out.

We also fluctuate between light and darkness, while trying to maintain a balance between the two.
This is what is happening on the Earth today: We are entering a period where the female energies will be more dominant for a while (see the red dot on the graph). In the far future, the energies of the Earth will again fluctuate to the masculine side; Then to the feminine side; then to the masculine, etc. Until a balance will be reached between the two energies.

Because of this shift in polarities between feminine and masculine energies, all the old buried wounds, of the war between Lemuria and Atlantis, are raising again.
This shift in polarities is also placing each one of us in an unbalanced state as well. In a way: the inner Lemurian is raising and the inner Atlantian is resisting this inner change.

How can we face this inner change and still remain balanced?
