Tarot and flat earth society

You noticed that whenever you method a blind hill, it appears like the highest of the hill is the tip of the earth. But while you get to the highest of the hill, you uncover that the street continues into the horizon. This makes you're feeling really brave. You continue to walk, expecting to succeed in the top of the earth any day. But the highway ends on one other beach.

Now you're really curious. You build your self a pleasant huge boat, and you resolve to sail on the ocean until you either reach land or fall off the earth. A number of months later you return triumphantly and inform folks in regards to the land you discovered. You even present them specimens of the strange fruit and animals you discovered on this distant land.

You do notice that individuals are initially in awe of what you tell them, but then they start to avoid you. When you go to town, they cross the street so as not to bump into you. While you want to visit them, you hear them tell their kids to inform you they are not at home.

All this can be a bit complicated, however you know your details and nothing can change that. You could have found that the earth is round and never flat.

You then meet a new pal referred to as Maggelan. He listens fastidiously to your tales and takes you seriously. He even goes a step further. He sails away, vowing to maintain sailing in the identical course until he returns to the point of departure.

In the meantime you have got acquired some warnings from the church to stop spreading false dogma. You resolve to keep a low profile till Magellan returns - and also you wonder if you will ever see him again.

Then, three years later, when your neighbours are talking to you once more and the church is comfortable that you've stopped being a troublemaker, Magellan returns. He confirms your story that the earth is round.

Of course this makes you very comfortable, and also you want to shout your discovery out to the world. You do discover the church males huddling nearby, however you aren't so elated that you simply fully ignore them.

You hear some snippets of their conversation: " . . . maintain quiet . . . Ptolomy . . . that heretic Pythagoras . . must get worry again . . can not have this . . . "

In the dead of night, you handle to sneak into the church. Your mission is to seek out out more about the conversations you overheard. You realize that there are some books in the church, and you have learnt to read. You might be hoping to search out some of these books. However no such luck. You discover that there is a assembly of church officials.

They are discussing the latest developments in town. And they are packing the church books into crates. "We can't let the truth get to bizarre folks", the chief says emotionally. "We must conceal these books! We must make an example of those individuals! What is going to the world come to if everyone starts to make use of their common sense and think for themselves?"

Why am I telling you this story? As a result of in the past few days I have re-lived some twenty-first century versions of this scenario. Replace the flat earth with 2012 and the "finish of the world", or with tarot and the information of life.

How do you reply an intelligent one that says to you "I have heard about 2012 but I am too afraid to find out what it's about and please don't inform me"?
What do you say to a person who says "Tarot is sinful, and it's all about death and the devil"? How do you explain to the person that tarot is an encyclopedia of life, and one of the richest sources of details about our existence on this earth?

Once I encounter an perspective like that about tarot, I've even more respect and admiration for the people who managed to retain the information that was captured in tarot. If that same knowledge had been captured in books only, all these books would have been burnt by those that have been able of power. They might have executed every thing to make sure that the traditional information stays accessible to only a select few individuals that would have abused the sacred knowledge for their very own purposes.

By capturing the knowledge of tarot in richly illustrated playing cards stuffed with symbols and nuances, the geniuses who determined to do this ensured that the information remained available in plain sight.

After all there are nonetheless many members of the flat earth society who would fortunately play with the playing cards - or with the variation that's used for gambling - and they'd have no idea of the sacred data that they have entry to. After all there are additionally these members that deliberately choose to play the roulette of life by staying as distant from the tarot cards as possible. They're unable to give reasons for not wanting to know something about tarot, because they merely block their minds and find equally ignorant people who agree with their prejudices to justify their choices.
