Death

[Nau7ik]

A last comment: I’ve been told from my teachers that this Key, Death, has an important practical secret of occultism hidden within its design. I cannot speak on this because I haven’t learned it yet. I believe it has to do with transformation of the body. Actual minute, physical changes in the structure of body, the chemistry of the blood, the functioning of the organs. Paul Foster Case quoted Boehme in one of these lessons.

Death is an interesting topic when it comes to the micro level. For instance, all our living cells that constituted our bodies 10 years ago have long died, and this process is required for the continued growth and evolution of our bodies. But at the same time, the raw materials get recycled and reconstituted over and over again, and yet the energetic fields that we produce from that biology evolve and are maintained uninterrupted. Now take all that and correspond it to the macro level, and it's exactly the same.

So perhaps the true power lies in understanding how we can use these elements of death to not only perpetuate life, but continually seed ones evolution from it.

Amazing! You’re absolutely right, what you say is an important part of the Death card. You speak in a very eloquent way.

Transformations in consciousness will be made “concrete” so to speak with the imprinting of consciousness on the body. The olds cells are renewed in the ordinary course of bodily repair in sleep and replaced with new cells. “As Above, So Below.”

One of the means of overcoming death is understanding what death truly is. Words are failing me right now. You said it beautifully. I can’t add much to that lol

I did not understand the significance of “body” in Tarot for the longest time. It wasn’t until I started studying the Builders that I began to make progress in understanding.
