.... and there has now been people's discussion / back and forth based on that.Tarot as a Counseling Language: Core Meanings of the Cards - (where) he provides 'correspondences' between the cards and the Yi (hexagrams, trigrams, etc.) - not exactly from a 'Yi' perspective or dimension, and perhaps a bit esoteric for some people, but that's each person's choice I expect.
First, your concern about the 'risk of creating confusion rather than clarity' is duly noted..... I would have to disagree. Hatchers Tarot is far from simple and there is a distinct lack of coherence about it. If they arent accurate then while they might be nice" poems" for you, I might try and read them in that sense, but if they are are not relevant "corespndences then that might bea risk of creating confusion rather than clarity.
It is after all one or the other. Either something actually illuminates or it doesnt.
Well good. I can certainly appreaciate that too.Hi Freedda .... Sorry that you are taking hat I am saying in the wrong way. I was trying to be nice and express that it is nice that one finds pleasure in something.
My point - or at least part of it - is that what I may glean or be inspired by might easily go beyond 'translation.' For example, I don't necessarily know if what Bradford Hatcher is right or wrong, I was only saying that I sometimes find meaning and inspiration in it. As I said, that goes beyond right or wrong for me. And I gather that from what you said above, that if I find some meaning or pleasure in it, you have no issue with that.I think it is a difference in what we are compreheinding with terminology. Herein lies some of the problems with translation,
Yes, and I'd only add that you don't have to be an artist to 'get it'. And it doesn't have to be aWhay I meant by "illumination" is the light of insight. So taking the example of Rothkos's work. I agree that it can be an almost unpleasnat experince for some but for others it may be a pleasure, an inspiration but the illumination would be say a painter that looks at it, analyses the colours and the brush work and suddenly just "gets " why it works. That is more as to what I meant by illuimination. The insight into the world beyond our senses and not the experience attached to our senses.
And as I said, if you have an issue or questioning of his work, that is a different issue than my gaining meaning or inspiration from it.As for Bradfords work, I gave up a long time ago of trying to raise things with authors, .....
I really appreciate that you're willing to share this very personal and perhaps very difficult information about yourself. I often have disagreements with people at work, and a close friend of mine has said to me, 'well, you just see things differently than they do.' Which is to say, it's a two way street all this communication stuff!A large part of that understanding and experience is from knowing how different parts of the brain work and why they work. I lost a rather large chunk of my brain but becuse i had studied Neurology I was aware what was happening and was able to monitor the brains functioning. You may not be surprised to find that I am in argument with my Neuroosychologist about how the brain works.
Well, welcome to the monkey house! I'd suspect that we're all in the same boat here. But for me, here's the thing: just as you don't know know what we access in a reading, perhaps all the tools we use - the Yi, tarot, meditation, drugs, the trigrams, 5E, the dao, yin/yang .... are all just different ways that we're all trying to understand ourselves and the universe, and that we all might be finding inspiration or meaning in different ways. That's about all I can make if it really.How that all connects and what we access when we cast a reading, whether that is our subconscious alone and that is the limit of what we can know or if there is some sort of connectivity to the rest of the universe or some sort of coolective uncinsciousness and how that all ties together I ahve no idea.
