  Sensitive Feeling

  72. Eight of Swords A woman blindfolded and with arms shackled goes her way through a country full of water holes. The sky is gray. The situation is difficult. The woman can feel the right path only with her feet. She can only go forward slowly. Around the woman stuck eight swords in the ground. The number eight points to the path of love (karma yoga). In the background we see a white castle on a hill. The white castle is the goal of enlightenment. Who is innerly purified lives in God (the cosmos) as in a castle. Nothing outwardly can destroy his inner peace and happiness. The woman wants to get enlightenment through the path of all-embracing love. She wants to destroy her ego by doing good to all. The way of embracing love is hard to go. There are many traps lurking along the way. If a person works too little for the goal of a happy world, this dissolves not his ego. He does not get into a cosmic consciousness and developes no inner happiness. If a man works too hard for his fellow people and cares too little for himself, he loses his enlightenment energy. A Karma-Yogi must therefore live in the right balance of external work, sufficient rest, and spiritual practice. Ideally, he should work out from the rest (God) for a happy world.

  Oracle = The situation is difficult. The path is hard to see. Look carefully at your situation, your fellow man and your personal options. Success through a sensitive feeling for the right way. Go forward step by step. Thus you will reach your goals. "The right way in the moment is... Now I do best ..." Success.

  Mourning

  73. Nine of Swords. Nine swords lie horizontally on a black wall. Great sacrifice of the ego. A woman in a white nightgown sits weeping on her bed. She holds her hands over her face. Great mourning. On the bed frame we see a picture of standing man who kills a seated man with a spear. The seated man symbolizes the sad woman. Something has killed the ego of the woman. She has to let go her false wishes. Mourning is helpfull for that. On the legs of the woman lies a beautiful blanket with red roses. If the woman takes her hands from her face, she can see the beauty in her life. The way to overcome her grief is love (red roses) and spiritual practice (blue drawings).

  Oracle = After the crisis. Overcome your grief. Let your sorrows go. Think about your positive goals. Get up, be active and succeed in your life. What is your way of a successful life? What are your goals? "My goals are... My way to win is... " Success. Optimism. Go forward to happiness. Enjoy the day. Do something you like.

  Twilight of the Gods

  74. Ten of Swords. On the ground lies a dead man. He is covered by a blood-red cloth. Ten swords stuck in his back. The sky is black. Ten is the number of God. The man gave up his ego. He has let go of his worldly desires. He has accepted the suffering in his life. He has sacrificed himself in his spiritual path. He expects only happiness from himself, from his spiritual exercises, from a life in God (inner happiness). The outer world is dead to him. He recognized his wordly desires as an illusion, as a false dream. Some life in him is still there. His white left arm shows at us. His hand formes a mudra (energy awakening through spiritual exercises). Under the yellow horizon we see the big river and the land of light. We have to stand up, to cross the river and to awaken our inner happiness. We can be happy amidst all the chaos of life. We only need to let our attachment to the world go and to live in enough rest, enough spiritual practicing and in the all-embracing love (doing good to all, working for a happy world). Then our body will be filled with enlightened energy, and we feel strength, love, peace and happiness in us.

  Oracle = The path over the great river into the land of light runs through the death of the ego. Let your false wishes go. Take the things how they are. Stand up and go into the land of light. Make your spiritual exercises (yoga, meditation, reading, walking, doing good). Forward with strength. Success.

  Self-Confidence

  75. Page of Swords. On a hill stands a young man and swings his sword. He goes his way with self-confidence. The blue sky shows some clouds. He has to fight a little bit. But the problems are small and the page can do it well. The sword refers us to the path of sacrifice. The young man must cut his worldly attachments. He has to concentrate on his spiritual goals, and focus himself on his spiritual path. Above the head of the young swordsman are flying ten black birds. Ten is the number of God. Black is the color of ego sacrificing. To come into a life in the light, the young man has to go through the darkness. The boots of the young man are red (power), the pants are green (hope), the vest is brown (serenity), the collar is white (wisdom) and the sleeves are yellow (happiness). The young man will succeed on his way into the light.

  Oracle = Look at you as a winner and you will conquer. What are your goals? What is your path? Think: "My goal is... My way of victory is..." Trust in your own power. If you trust yourself and go consistently your path of truth, the victory is with you. There are some minor difficulties and problems. Go forward with confidence and firmness. Success.

  Save the World

  76. Knight of Swords. Chaos in the world. Stormy clouds. Black trees. The land is parched and needs water. A knight (spiritual hero) in an iron armor (power) with a red cape (love) comes on a white horse and saves the world. He swings his sword. He fights with all his power for a better world. If the world were a village of 100 inhabitants, then one man is super rich. He owns a third of the country and 30% of the village's assets. 20 people have 80% of the total wealth of the village. They have much more than they need. 40 people have enough money. 40 people (40%) are the poor. Half of them are malnourished or starving directly. In their environment, there is no adequate disease prevention, severe addiction problems (drugs, alcohol) and an escalating crime.

  The external wealth has doubled in the West in the last fifty years. At the same time the number of depression has increased tenfold. The unregulated capitalism leads to large external wealth for a few people and hunger and unhappiness for ever more people. Capitalist globalization will bring a few super-rich, a little wealth for a small middle class and a massive impoverishment of a large underclass. It creates huge slums, crime and a lot of substance abuse problems. If we do the capitalist globalization with no wisdom, we will destroy the environment, poverty will become uncontrollably large and the unhappiness will grow. There will be many senseless wars. We need a globalization of love, wisdom and peace. The world community should be centered in the principles of universal love, world peace, happiness for all, enough work for all, enough food for all and adequate health care for all. A world savior works within his means for a happy world. Humanity is one family. In a good family, all family members contribute to the success of the entire family. May we understand this, accept our social responsibility and act powerful.

  Oracle = Forward. Look at the misery of the world. Don´t look away. There are always people who need help (the poor, elderly, sick, lonely). There is always something that we just can do. Anyone can send light to his fellow man every day. Anyone can participate in a charity. Anyone can donate some money. Anyone can live as a world savior. We can spread the knowledge from the path of wisdom and love on the internet. We can strengsten our fellow people with positiv thinking. We can organize social activities. The internet offers great opportunities to work for a better world. A Bodisattva (Knight of Swords) concentrates on the suffering of the world, awakes his compassion and grows by this to enlightenment. He gets an unity consciousness by working for the poor and suffering people of the world. Work for a world of love, peace and happiness. What can you do? "My way to help is ..." Sacrifice your ego. Overcome your dullness. Forward as a hurrican. The power is with you. Success.

  Queen of Love

  77. Queen of Swords. The Queen of Love sits in a white dress (cleansing exercises) with a golden crown (mistress of wisdom) on a stone throne (self-discipline) in the midst of gray clouds (outer misfortune). She lives in a world of suffering, but her head is clear. Spiritually she lives in a dimension above her outer suffering. The Queen holds a sword like a szepter in her right hand (power) and blesses with her left hand all people
with love and wisdom. The sky is blue and a black bird flies over her head (ego sacrificing). The tarot card shows the Queen not frontally but sideways. She takes her fellow man more important then herself. She lives in the center of life as a Bodhisattva (Queen of Love) and thus can rise herself above her own suffering.

  Oracle = The bad news is: "You live in a field of suffering." What is the suffering in your life? The good news is: "You can still be happy and just because." You can transform your field of suffering into a field of spiritual growth (Buddha field). Your suffering can be your great helper on the way to inner happiness. Without the suffering in your life you'd probably never practice consistently spiritually. The secret of a happy life is that happiness is not primarily an external but an internal matter. If happiness is mainly an internal matter, then we can grow even in outer misfortune to inner happiness. We only have to do enough spiritual exercises (yoga, meditation, walking, reading, mental work). We only have to resolve our internal tensions. Then at some point happiness and enlightenment appears in us. We only need to organize our life so that we grow spiritually. We must develop enough self-discipline. We must live on an effective daily spiritual exercise plan. And we should live in the center of our life as a karma yogi (Bodhisattva, person of all-embracing love). We must take our fellow man more important than ourselves, so that our ego dissolves and we get a unity consciousness. Transform yourself into a Goddess of Happiness. Do your spiritual exercises. Move a hand and send all people light: "I send light to... May all people be happy. May the world be happy." Happiness on the way of spiritual exercises and all-embracing love (doing good to others). Forward. Success.

  The Master of Life

  78. King of Swords. In the land of suffering (black trees, grey clouds) sits the King of Swords on a stone throne (self-discipline) in a blue clothing (inner peace). He has a red cape over his shoulders (love), a crown on his head (wisdom) and a sword in his right hand (ego sacrificing). He has to take things as they are. His left hand lies on his knees. On the middle finger we see the Philosopher´s Stone. The King of Swords is a Master of Life. He owns the knowledge to transform unhappiness into happiness. His secret is the combination of love, wisdom and spiritual exercises. He lives by a consistent spiritual day plan (going, reading, meditating, resting). He practices constistently mental work (overcoming negative thoughts and feelings). On the backwall of his throne is a drawing of the paradise with Adam and Eve, two crescent moons (a symbol for God) and many butterflies. His vision is a happy world full of love, peace and wisdom. His vision is to live in paradise, to transform his world into a paradise.

  Oracle = Forward on the threefold way of wisdom, love and spiritual exercises. Succeed through consistent mental work (self-reflection, positive thinking), doing good (working for a happy world) and enough daily exercises (yoga, walking, meditation, oracle reading). Give yourself enough rest and enough pleasure. Go with a clever strategy through your day. Transform yourself from unhappiness to happiness. You master your life in a difficult situation. Forward. Success.
