Knight of cups

The Knight of Cups relates to a romantic state of being, based solely in our emotional field. Of all the states of being, this is the most fluid, colorful and captivating. It is made of and designed for beauty, but the danger is, because it is so captivating we can lose ourselves in it, sometimes a lifetime.

There are three magic fields in our makeup; our Heart self, (feeling); our Sex self, (action and reaction) and our God self, (thinking, understanding). Three in one is the holy trinity.

To get caught in any one single field is a mistake, and leads to self loss, which is the worst that can happen to us, the personal hell that drives us mad..

These fields are magic, because not only they create reality, but have complete power over us, and thus the universe.

When our gaze broadens to the point where we include the Universe, we can see that everything affects everything and we can't escape the consequence of any act, thought and feeling, because it has affected everything, creating an on-going reality.

In this way, although we are are free to feel, think and act however we choose; we are also not free, because everything has been changed and affected by us, and we're "bound to the consequence."

Thus 'hell' is the result of the mistaken notion of us being isolated, and is the result of the adolescent stage having got stuck. It is a terrible trap, and every war on earth is its direct result..

The Knight of Cups is emotional, thus full of liquid feeling. Water is characterised by motion, its nature everchanging. It is wise therefore to create the stability of committed intent, if ones life is not to run away until gone, leaving no trace.
