15 AUGUST TAROT - MICHAEL

[EMPATHY]

Control

WHAT MESSAGE TO GIVE MICHAELS FANS?


Controlled persons are always nervous because deep down turmoil is still hidden. If you are uncontrolled, flowing, alive, then you are not nervous. There is no question of being nervous - whatsoever happens, happens. You have no expectations for the future, you are not performing. Then why should you be nervous?

To control that mind, one has to remain so cold and frozen that no life energy is allowed to move into your limbs, into your body. If energy is allowed to move, those repressions will surface. That's why people have learned how to be cold, how to touch others and yet not touch them, how to see people and yet not see them. People live with clichés - "Hallo. How are you?" Nobody means anything. These are just to avoid the real encounter of two persons. People don't look into each other's eyes, they don't hold hands, they don't try to feel each other's energy, they don't allow each other to pour - very afraid, somehow just managing, cold and dead, in a straitjacket.


There is a time and a place for control, but if we put it in charge of our lives we end up totally rigid. The figure is encased in the angles of pyramid shapes that surround him. Light glitters and glints off his shiny surfaces, but does not penetrate. It's as if he is almost mummified inside this structure he's built up around himself. His fists are clenched and his stare is blank, almost blind. The lower part of his body beneath the table is a knife point, a cutting edge that divides and separates. His world is ordered and perfect, but it is not alive - he cannot allow any spontaneity or vulnerability to enter it.

The image of the King of Clouds reminds us to take a deep breath, loosen our neckties and take it easy. If mistakes happen, it's okay. If things get a little out of hand, it's probably just what the doctor ordered. There is much, much more to life than being "on top of things."

The question I asked to receive this tarot above through meditation is what to tell Michaels fans.

The card must not be read into incorrectly - the overall message is about control. Control is not possible for some people - they lose self control. They lose their common sense in their idolatory of someone. In this card Michael shows you he is a human being - fanship is everything to him but he could not be one to one with everyone - when there are many fans it makes you feel entombed in your own life so that you cant live your life at all - nowhere to go without being mobbed or swamped.

Michael shows that his life was not like living sometimes, yet it seems there is a great appreciation for people in this reading.
He tells you that his world is ordered and perfect - this reflects his happiness towards his fans - but the card does talk about vulnerabilities and fanship can get out of control.

This card should not be read into for any other question. The meaning is just for the question I have asked. I can see how impossible life might have been for Michael and it is a way of showing others that it is important to recognise someones vulnerability but that it was not possible for him to be a person who could be accessible to everyone - he recognises peoples inner desires in this card - at the same time how it makes him feel when it is too much.

Perhaps it also tells people how difficult it is to live under that kind of extreme.

All readings from Zen will be quite cryptic but I will be writing normal Raider Waite tarot too. Hopefully there are those who can understand how Michael felt about fans. The vulnerability is very much on the surface. Celebrities cannot perform all the time - nor could he. Performing relates to public appearances - keeping up those appearances and how difficult it is to be what people wanted him to be.

Those who understand deeply will truly understand the Zen tarot for the question I posed.

YOU MIGHT LIKE TO SEE THIS.

* The number seven symbolizes God's perfection, His sovereignty and holiness. 1.) God created earth - seven days
2.) One seven-day week is a reminder of our creator
3.) God blessed the seventh day, making it holy (Exodus 20:8-11)

* The number 7 is important in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. It seems that numerology was so important that representing an event or series of events with the number 7 helped prove that the story was true. The number 7 was of special importance in the Zoroastrian religion, where there were 7 creations, 7 regions of the world, 7 Amesha Spenta (who became the 7 archangels of Judaism), and so on. This would have a great influence on the evolution of numerology in Judaism. However, the number 7 was already significant in Judaic numerology, indicating some earlier influence.

Some examples of 7 in the Old Testament: the first creation story in Genesis, written during or just after the Babylonian Exile, has seven days; Noah took every clean beast and every bird by sevens, and in seven days it rained; Jacob served seven years for Leah and seven years for Rachel; Egypt had seven years of plenty and seven years of famine.

The New Testament has the seven loaves and fishes; seven devils exorcised from Mary Magdalene; forgiveness seventy times seven. Also, Revelation has seven churches and many symbols are seven fold, usually because of the 7 angels (archangels). Luke's Gospel demonstrates that Jesus was predestined for greatness because great men occurred in multiples of seven generations starting from Adam, Enoch at 7, Abraham at 21, David at 35 and Jesus at 77, while Matthew demonstrates that Jesus was predestined for greatness because there were 14 generations from Josiah to Jesus, just as there had been 14 generations from David to Josiah and from Abraham to David (14 being 2 times 7). There were seven heavens and the apocryphal Ascension of Isaiah had the Son descend into the lower world and then re-ascend to the seventh heaven.

* In the universal language of mind, in which the spiritual works were written, seven means control. Where zeros follow a seven it refers to a degree of understanding related to the experience of control. On our way to becoming spiritually adept, we must first learn to control the physical body, and the emotions, and gain control of the conscious ego ( our own personal devil, or satan). For a more complete explanation of the meaning of numbers, you may refer to " the Universal Language of Mind, Matthew Interpreted". isbn# 0-944386-15-6 In revelation, the seven churches refers to the seven levels of mind and what must be accomplished in each in order to reach the Christ consciousness, in language of mind.
* In Genesis, God created the earth in 6 days and on the seventh day he rested. This was the first week. Also in Acts, there were seven deacons of the church.

The number 7 is usually equated with the idea of perfection.
