Today's psychology of ‘me’ and ‘me’ again, is all about ‘me’, so how does one deal with
the constant natter of me?
E/A in Hebrew/kabbalah is
the letter Aleph 1, the Fool
card. The image of Aleph
can be simply seen as a line
with a single flame above and
below, like Christ amidst the
2 thieves, the line is a direct
connection to our soul;
This wing footed God, the messenger, is Mercury, whose symbol represents Moonlight upon
the waters of mind.
The light of mind, a fleeting realization (wings upon his heels) that appears and disappears,
the winged messenger, considered a God by the wise of times past. When the mind is still
this light can be truly seen, the more it is seen, the greater is the light - enlightenment.
The card of Mercury is the
Magician, the letter Byth 2.
In this card we see the magician
dealing with the elements that create
beliefs in the mind.
Byth is the path upon the
Tree of life from Kether, the light, to
Binah, the waters of creation, mind.
The idea of Mercury as a God is seen by some religious dogmas as evil, worshipping
many Gods instead of the one. This is a total misunderstanding of what this actually
means. Consider the idea of Mercury as a God; could it mean this principle is divine, an
aspect of God? Pay attention!
These insights, inner lights are very fleeting at first, hard to hold onto and can become
distorted by our beliefs and attachments, thus we can be easily tricked - the trickster is not
to be found in the light, it is found in our distorted perception. Psychology really does not
understand these processes for to understand this, one must be more than an ego and its
persona.
