Alchemy for investors, part 7

The planet Saturn is represented in the Tarot by key 21, The World. Interestingly enough, it is in a position of balance with respect to The Magician, when the Justice is used as the fulcrum.

Saturn is the second most important planet in a horoscope. You cannot escape his influence. You must face Saturn on the first path of return. There are no exceptions, and Saturn is the planet that enforces any 'no exceptions' policy found in the material universe.

By definition, when you exercise your powers of concentration, you invoke the administrative intellegence of Saturn by pushing out some sensations, and focusing on others. This happens to all of us, be they adepts, royalty, peasants, or fools. The advantage is to the adept, of course. He uses the process as discussed in our previous posts. And now you are on the path to becoming an adept because you are reading this right now.

The trump The World is not very frightening at all, actually. Contemplation of this card will give you instant mitigation of the negative manifestations of Saturn in your life. Likewise the metal lead ... I have a Byzantine amulet made of lead which is precious to me. There is alot of symbolism on the trump, and it will speak to your subconscious merely by your looking upon it.

This is a good way to test yourself. Time how long you can contemplate this trump. Who actually is in control of you? Does your mind have a mind of its own? If you can look upon this trump for a five minuite period, then you are well on your way to becoming an adept. If you cannot, if your emotions and imagination finds distractions and pushes you away from what is actually a colored picture, then you are not really in control of you, are you? You are a worm

To overcome your slavery to flawed reason, and corrupt emotions, or to improve yourself, I suggest this simple exercise. Simply reverse the position you sleep in. Place your head where your feet were, and your feet where your head was. Of course, you can still use a pillow and blankets and make yourself comfortable. Try this. Perhaps for five minuites before you return to your normal position, perhaps all night. Keep your journal handy, in case you have a dream or two.

Note your observations in your journal. And, at this time, review your journal, and note whatever impressions come to you as you perform your review. Do this now.
