The Threefold Journey of Enlightenment Through The Fool

The Fool can easily be mistaken for the enlightened master.

The Fool can do what the powerful cannot.

Because it has no ego.

When there is no ego than the channel for spirit free flows.

Just like Froddo in Lord of The Rings.

Eckhart Tolle says even if we become 90% free of ego we can achieve the currently unachievable...

As a young child we have no ego, we don't make judgments on ourselves, on another, on our life.

We don't hold grudges from the past, we don't worry about tomorrow, the thought hasn't even occurred to us!

We are in the first stage of The Fool's Journey.

As we grow we develop the ego, we begin to care about how others see us, we start making judgments and changing our behaviour accordingly. Causing inner restriction, attachment, untruth and disconnection.

Instead of being free with our imagination, ego takes over our imagination and turns it into a fear mongering machine. 

At adolescence, the ego kicks in and we come out of the heart into the head, start making judgments on others, our lives, and ourselves.

We begin to feel the fear, causing the polarity of attachment and separation. We are becoming conscious, but unconsciously. 

This is the second stage of The Fool.

The task is to develop the third stage of The Fool.  We flow through the first is the child stage, when the child is open and unconditionally loving, and isn't conscious of it, but we tend to get stuck at the second stage, and it can take a lifetime’s work to feel free in ourselves, with no fear, no restriction, no attachment, heart-centred enough to match this quote -

“And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with love like that.
It lights up the sky.”

― Rumi

Everyone on the Earth is on their own Fool's Journey, yes, all of us.

But Tarot readers have an opportunity and a responsibility to be forerunners of consciousness on the journey of The Fool.

Tarot readers are guides for others through their own Fool's Journey. Which means to be at their best they must consciously work with the energy of The Fool, embrace the journey, wholeheartedly, and constantly check in with how they are doing.

How good is a Tarot reader if they care about looking like a fool? How can spirit work through them if they are so in fear about what others will think? How can they help anyone get to a place of freedom and love within, if they themselves are restricted, constricted, or in fear?

Perhaps you don't see the practice of Tarot as helping someone to get to a place of love and freedom within?

Perhaps you do, but Tarot has been associated with prediction for such a long time, I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t.

People don't say I am going to go to a Tarot session to find inner love and freedom! 

No! They say - 

I'm going to a reader to find out if I am going to get that job/man etc... 

     If they want to find inner love and freedom, they will go to a counsellor!

People come for a reading because they want the opposite of inner love and freedom! They want to identify with the mind, make judgments, get predictions, gain control of the uncontrollable and basically attach. Having a prediction causes an attachment. Either a desire for the prediction to come true, or a fear that it will or won't.

Either way it brings in the small egoic self of fear and control.

They don't realise this causes the opposite of freedom and self love of course - because they are in the second stage of The Fool.

But if we are in the third stage of The Fool then our Tarot practice changes, and we can begin to help people out of the need for control. Gently fostering more trust, love and freedom.

Incredible alignment happens.

People start fostering trust in themselves and the universe that all is as it should be. Restrictions fall away as they become comfortable with the truth, not moving to try and hide or fix it. And from that the biggest blessings happen…

They find themselves…

And the ripple effect is created, touching all those they come in contact with, helping humanity to move in the third stage of The Fool.  

So how do you know if you are at the third stage? 

You feel it.

In your life, your walk is free, your talk is free.

I'm not saying that you are conscious enlightened beings. But you will know when you are out of alignment. You will understand through your feelings that you have become restricted, attached, in fear or in control, and you will be able to look at what it is that is holding you to ransom and un-attach yourself.

In this way The Fool mirrors the process of The Hanged Man - that deep inner reflection for ultimate freedom - the archetype of the enlightened master.

So The Fool is the most powerful archetype there is, not because it's the only Major Arcana that found it's way into our playing cards, taking the place of the wild card, being able to go anywhere, do anything and be anything. 

Not only because it is the only archetype that is free enough to take the mickey out of royalty. 

But because it is truly free inside....

This is why it can be so free on the outside. 

And through holding that The Fool can journey through life, causing ripples of freedom for others.

Here’s a spread for seeing where you are at with your Fool

1)  Head consciousness - Example: The Hermit

2)  Heart consciousness- Example: The Two of Wands

3)  Ability to walk consciously- Example: The Ten of Swords

4) Your unconscious will - - Example: The King of Wands

5)  Your karma- Example: The Sun

6)  Your instinct - Example: Justice

7)  Your ability to let go - Example: The Fool

Tarot – Talking Light, Busting Fear…

My name is Tiffany Crosara – which means “Epiphany from The Christian Faith” and I am a Tarot Reader! I am sure some christian’s will be turning in their grave at the supposed irony of my name. I say supposed – because really it’s not ironic at all.

The Tarot includes Christianity as well as Egyptian and Greek Mythology, Astrology, Numerology and Kabbalastic teachings in the symbology, and that’s the truth of the matter really! And that’s what I love about the Tarot – the pictures speak for themselves. On the occassions where a client says “i’m not sure I agree, can we do it again?” I say “yeah sure” – and once again the same cards come up and the look on their face is priceless. So much in the psychic field can’t be seen in the material world – but that doesn’t apply to Tarot.

So where does the fear come from? The fear is originally belongs to the church. The church’s fear was that people would find their own power through the Tarot and they managed to demonize the Tarot through it’s symbology of Death, The Devil and The Tower. But death only means release of the old and beginning of the new. And let’s take a look at The Devil, whose other name Lucifier means light bringer:

When The Devil comes up it doesn’t mean you are evil – just acting in an unconscious manner, but with that we are brought the opportunity to awaken, once we awaken we find ourselves in The Tower – which is the next card in the natural order of The Tarot. Most people fear The Tower so much that they subconsciously keep themselves stuck in the ignorance of The Devil. The quote I use in my book for The Tower is -

It is a great mystery that though the human heart longs for Truth,
in which alone it finds liberation and delight, the first reaction of
human beings to Truth is one of hostility and fear!
— Anthony De Mello

This is The Tower all over…. The Tower gives you a strike of enlightenment through your crown, a lightening bolt of truth waking you up and creating that of which you have secretly longed for. Maybe you moaned about being stuck in a dead end job and suddenly you are made redundant, or a relationship – that suddenly ends. Really its the beginning of the life you wanted. IF you can align yourself to it.

The next card in the natural order is The Star… Which everyone loves – overlooking that you actually need to have completely faced all your stuff, conquered your fears and decided to completely go for it in order to catch it sounds easy right?! Lol!

You have to make sure the restrictions of The Devil have been completely annihlated by The Tower so you can be that free to catch your Star. Mostly people just end up feeling completely overwhelmed by the lack of structure in their lives and just end up running back through The Tower to chain themselves to The Devil again – like just taking any job that comes along rather than following your wildest dreams, or getting back in a relationship because of the fear of going alone for example.

So hopefully from that little analogy you can start to see that there are no such things as good and bad cards. They all serve a purpose – of helping you on your way.

They are all little post it notes of the energy around for you to tap into for your empowerment – if you can remove the fear that has been so engrained. The fear of prediction is a big one, so lets look at that now.

The Tarot is a mirror. Humans are predictable beings. We follow our own little conditioned patterns. The Tarot reflects this back to us. That reflection can be used two ways:

1) The first way is to predict – which can be controversial and disempowering.

2) The second way is to reflect someone’s pattern back to them, as said earlier – the Tarot is little post it notes of proof. The same cards come up time and time again and people have to face the fact that their cards are laid out on the table right in front of their face. A good reader will help them see that this is just a mirror – and ask them if they feel they would like to change anything in the mirror and then work with the Tarot to help them gain information on different avenues so they can go home with an armful of x-rays about possible alternate ways of living, for them to feel clear and empowered in their choices.

There really is nothing to fear about the Tarot – apart from the person reading it. You want to make sure that person sees everything in life as working towards the highest good and is well trained in helping people to face what they need to, and also help them see the gift in the situation.

You will know when you have received a good reading as you will probably not have been told anything you don’t already know deep down, but you will feel so much clearer in yourself- as if someone just washed you clean of all the fear and confusion, and all you are left with is a feeling of confirmation an increased confidence in your own intuition. Now how empowering is that?

Tiffany Crosara's Relationship To The World Spread

Cor dear me! Does anyone else feel like they are on a seasaw?! One day I'm feeling completely ecstatic the next I'm feeling floored! So I thought God how can today be The World?!       

But then I remembered the Astrotarotchannel said not giving a f*** was good for ascension and I can see I am ready to know the truth and I am totally done with any bulls***!!

So I adapted The World spread especially for relationships..

Top left is Friends and community - with mine you can see there is things here with communication being needed to clear projection ( Which is what I started at 3am this morn after deciding to send an email after a sleepless few hours).

Top right is relationships with intimate partners... (Looking really good for new level of growth based on the solid foundation we have built).

Bottom right is relationship with children or parents - there is a lot in mine about self worth and hard work on independence but emotions being self destructive.

Bottom left us relationships with clients - Cor! Lots of movement and business there- must take it one step at a time as not to get overwhelmed!

The middle is the current soul lesson - seems like its about being straight up, honest and kind. Awareness fell out so I put it there - this is The Chariot so The Chariot came out twice - which is my soul card.

This has been interesting. It's reflected what I already know... But I feel ready to look at each relationship in depth now to see the absolute truth and clear and let go of any past things that have been building up - so yes I guess that is The World for you! 

What does yours show? Anything you already know? Good to get confirmation?
