The Veils

She holds the gates to the veils of awareness that shield our contingency from the awesome expanse, allowing its gradual disclosure in the erotic dance of true initiation.

This card signifies the deepest mysteries and intuitive gnosis - beyond and before all filters of perception. To go all the way down this path is to cease to exist.

The mystery is infinitely deep and yet it shines forth into the world and is known by its fruits - is seen shining through the veils.

Drink from the fountain of authenticity and connection - let the primordial waters suffuse you - Let them nourish you and hydrate you.

The Priestess' teaching guides the solar boats through and across the great Abyss - between the known and the unknown.

Without the constant flow - the ghostly cascade into and from outside the 'universe', the boundaries of unity collapse and incarcerate - fragmenting endlessly into an atomic mist.

The High Priestess restores the broken - embeds each atom like a glimmering jewel into the vast and smooth blanket that is forever.

The Philosophers distinguish between Being and Non Being. They are in delusion. Their awareness is veiled by their words, and they know it naught.

They would have us think that beings, Being, is insular - that self's boundaries are sharp. That we are islands of identity.

But!

Being is no island - no fortress against a non - being. It is but a spotlight on a flowing River. Being's

content forever flows into and out of that spotlight.

Tis' a trick of words - this Parmenidian sophistry of Being-not-being.

Tis' a trick of words, Identity.

There is over all such world pictures, the selfsame heaven arching:

Behold, in eternity beyond the veils there are rivers a-dance with myriad sparkling lights.

Let the waters of Sophia - the river of primordial wisdom flow, damless: from sea to source, from source to sea.

Oh, my Salmonlings - awaken and return.

Awaken and return.
