From He who established the Tarot

[Shin'Ar]

When ye have freed thy soul from its bondage,
know that for ye the darkness is gone.
Ever through space ye may seek wisdom,
bound not be fetters forged in the flesh.

Mysteries there are in the Cosmos
that unveiled fill the world with their light.
Let he who would be free from the bonds of darkness
first divine the material from the immaterial,
the fire from the earth;
for know ye that as earth descends to earth,
so also fire ascends unto
fire and becomes one with fire.
He who knows the fire that is within
himself shall ascend unto the eternal fire
and dwell in it eternally.

Hark ye, O man, and know of thy bondage,
know how to free thyself from the toils.
Out of the darkness shall ye rise upward,
one with the Light and one with the stars.

There are many who dislike the calling of the Ancients to free from the bondage of darkness. But that is often the result of misunderstanding of the darkness to which the Ancients referred.

In my opinion, if we can learn one thing from this experience as human, it should be that opinion and interpretation do not establish truth. And misunderstanding does not alter the reality of truth.

Memory is information to be discerned, not individual experiences of creating parallel realities, as some imply. Memory may be unique to individual experience, but just because one remembers an apple being orange, does not mean that in reality and truth the apple was not really red. Perception designs memory, not reality. Divine Process designs reality.

So those misinterpretations of darkness, righteousness, morality, STS, STO, free choice, duality, etc., do not establish truth and reality
around those misconceptions. They are nothing more than misunderstanding.

When the Ancients attempt to reveal the cycle of darkness to us, they do not discern the degrees to which their revelations may or may not be distorted, they simply advise and teach based upon their understandings.

The baggage we attach to those messages are our individual problems.

So those who might take offense or be swayed from further study of such teachings, will miss out on the truth behind the information being offered.

Others will seek to understand the message and might come to learn great truths about their true reality and design. Truths that extend far beyond the limits of the human experience within the Grand Design of the infinite universe.

Ever through space ye may seek wisdom,
bound not be fetters forged in the flesh.

There is so much more awaiting than this experience of the flesh. the flesh is just one experience of many on a long and endless journey of the One.


Let he who would be free from the bonds of darkness
first divine the material from the immaterial,


To understand the temporary aspect of the flesh, one must come to understand the difference between the material and the immaterial. And as humans this has always been done through the acknowledgment of earth and sun, matter and Spirit.


Hark ye, O man, and know of thy bondage,
know how to free thyself from the toils.
Out of the darkness shall ye rise upward,
one with the Light and one with the stars.

No one is suggesting that the flesh is bad or evil. Or that there is not much to benefit from the experiences offered in the flesh. This is one part of a infinite process evolving. The flesh is of the earth, of matter, or darkness/reincarnation as human flesh. The earthly aspect of the Divine Process of the evolving One.

The spirit is of the Sun, the Light, the Infinite Spirit, the Sacred Fire that dances within the form of every creation. Nwyfre. It is the life and awareness of the One Consciousness. The Infinite Energy of the Infinite Source. The spark of creation, born from the Creator, in every form or creation.

Bondage is in not knowing this, and prolonging the human experience through ignorance of the Grander Process.


Let he who would be free from the bonds of darkness
first divine the material from the immaterial,

This is the Alchemy of the Ancients, and the message relayed here by Great Thoth.

Blend the two aspects of creation, spirit and matter, observe and experience what becomes, but learn from the experiment, and come to understand the Design and Process, so that you see more than than one ingredient of many possibilities.

To become the alchemist that never learns from his experiments, and continues over and over, again and again, to perform the same mixing with the same results, and never seeing the bigger picture, is to become one trapped in the bondage of ignorance and the cycle of darkness.

It has nothing to do with evil flesh or dark paths.

Darkness, and those referred to as dark Ones, does not translate into concepts of evil or righteousness. It simply refers to choices made which result in the absence and retardation of ascending and evolving into the Spirit/Light, as we are all designed to do.


Out of the darkness shall ye rise upward,
one with the Light and one with the stars.

This is my understanding of the teachings of Thoth, and not meant to be the preaching of any particular religion, or for the purpose of recruiting anyone into any following. These are my thoughts and speculations, as are yours when you read this yourself and discern what is said here.

What is stated here should not be taken as an attack on anyone's thoughts that might be in contradiction to the thought process revealed here. No attack is meant. Every mind is free to discern and I would not impose my thinking upon anyone's choice to think differently.

But I do take advantage of the opportunity to express my own, seeing as how this thread was bumped by someone else's thought process.
