PSYCHOLOGY OF TAROT

Magic is the practical knowledge and control of visible and invisible nature (and man).

Energy is a measure of the movement of physical matter. Our entire world is created from energies. Any object, place, living being, man has energy. Energy can be physical, psychic, mental, spiritual. Not everyone can see it with their eyes (developed vision - clairvoyance), but everyone can feel it perfectly - human vital energy, emotions, feelings.

Nature is the entire material world, encompassing the energy of materials and various forms. Man is an integral part of nature and his main task is to get closer to nature, be a part of it and understand its language. The ancient sages believed in a simple truth - if you know yourself, you will know others and the world around you.

Source is the place where life-giving forces reside, a symbol of purity and fertility, inexhaustible spiritual energy.

God is the most perfect monad, in which lies the idea of ​​the harmony and purposefulness of the Universe. Man knows God only to the extent that God knows himself in man.

The mission or purpose of life is the transformation of the lower human nature into the highest spiritual nature. A person who fulfills this task is ready to reject the attachments of the mind, heart or body. Desires and habits, through the efforts of the will, purposefully lead to this one goal.

Archetype - energy taking on the same form. Since ancient times, man has conveyed his experiences, dreams and fantasies through various myths and legends. Their heroes are alive in the energy of the subconscious of society to this day.

This allows you to understand not only the universal laws of nature, but also to shape your personality, character, dreams and choices and responsibly create your life.
