Deeper Understanding
(The meaning of HIEROPHANT)
- An interpreter of sacred mysteries or arcane knowledge.
- One who explains or makes a commentary ( A priest in ancient Greece; specifically : the chief priest of the Eleusinian mysteries), card#5 which seems to me, with all the understanding I have got from different tarot sites, has to do with the greater understanding of the self. See me, I love religion, right-now I can’t tell you if I am a Christian, Muslim, or other-wise, but what I can tell you is that I am a fanatic about holy doctrines of any kind. I have all kinds of books that I love to thumb threw to find myself in. So this card to me has great meaning that speaks to the well rounded soul of myself that I fight to find everyday. I King promise myself about three years ago that I would do some soul searching when it came to what I truely belived in. So today with no blasphemy in my heart, I can tell you that I only belive in God alone! My mind won’t let me tie myself down to any one faith, because what the masses belive today to be true I can prove false! I am the son of God just like anyone else, & if you don’t belive that you are a child of God then something is wrong with you!! I have gotten into many arguments about what is the right thing to belive in, well all I can say is, in this country we have a freedom of religion, to belive in whatever we want & nobody can take that away from us as a people . If you want to worship the Devil, you are free to do that, but just don’t start a sect, or the Feds come shut you down like Waco. Just wake-up everybody because you have got to belive in something, me I chose to belive in myself. Like this card as you can see it’s more on an Egyptian style of design, & to me "The Book of The Dead" was one of the most interesting books ever published. Most people think that it had to do with how the dead should be buried, but from my own understanding, it has to do with how to keep the soul alive, & what you should expect from the afterlife. Me I don’t know what to expect after I’m gone from here, but I can tell you that I don’t belive in people going to hell, the hell we live in is now, we live in hell everyday & that hell is intraped in our minds by the material things we value as a people. I belive that we all dwell in a heaven of eternal peace when we die, could it be any other way? Why would I subject myself or better yet, live mylife everyday afraid to die because the Devil is going to roast me in hell? What the hell kind of sense that make? From what I have learned from all the Freemasonry books I have read, is that Religion was given to man to surpress the people. You know how hard it’s going to be to deal with the masses when you as a people realize that you are God’s? You are the God’s that your sacred doctrines speak of & are trying to reach & teach throught a language that has surpassed time. Can the church Amen? Looker deeper then just the words you see on the page! Your sacred doctrine is veiled in words filled with mystery & love of the only true God that ever lived, SELF!!! Fear God alone means to me that I should beware of that eternal voice that can lead to destruction of the only body I will have. We at different times in our life, with no help from others are the best of friends to that eternal God we hold so dear to our hearts & also the worst enemy. It really took me along time to understand that!! I still fight with myself everyday about myself if that made any sense! I mean it’s a hard job staying on the right path, trying to live up to your own standards, forget what anyone else thinks.
