Tarot Psychology. Are Creating and Manifestating the same?
24Apr
So, I am thinking that semantics are just that… Some antics
… but not here. Creation and manifestation are not the same thing.
I’ve Heard
I’ve heard…The Divine Feminine creates, the Divine Masculine manifests. This can be supported by the natural leadership of the Queens and the implementation orders of the Kings. But wait!
architecture = arche and techne.
~ Arche is the creating, the first spark of an idea. It is formless and can = inception.
~ Techne is the making, the putting together OF that idea. It is giving form to the formlessness and can = conception.
Creates = brings into being like an idea and it is formless as it is still in the mind… to create.
Manifests or makes = bringing formlessness into form, spiriting matter soulfully… to manifest.

Subtle Distinctions
There is a subtle distinction between “to create” and “to make,” though also a hefty one at their conceptual base. People often utilize “create” and “make” as synonyms, and though they are in the same family, they are not the same. They are complementary in the process… like supplementary angles = 180 degrees, and complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9zUbWPqVpc (embedding disabled by request). One is, say, 120 degrees and then the other is 60 degrees to make the supplementary sum of 180 with 120. They are not the same, though they contribute to the 180 or final product… they manifest or make the supplementary relationship in total. Like tossing up a tennis ball and serving an ace. Two things that taste great together. Like creating and making, they work together, though they are not the same.
Interesting with the Tarot that in regards to statement, “The Divine Feminine creates, the Divine Masculine manifests?,” there is a role reversal in regards to this with The Magician and The High Priestess… where The Magician is the first spark on the table in the Place of Creation bringing forth the formless and weightless idea to orbit in mind/psyche from The Place of Creation. Is the Mag then about inception? And, The High Priestess gives form to the formlessness of The Magician’s first spark. Can the High Priestess then be about conception?

Notice the eclipse WITHIN the sun, and the magically watching eye-wings as vision to take you new places… focus so intense that it dilates time to open

And then of course move to The Empress and Emperor, and She creates emanating from her Yoniverse while He makes by establishing place.
Inception to Conception
Inception to conception, if so from The Magician to The High Priestess… Then, of course on to The Empress where the Priestess’ form is carried to full term to be birthed and emanate from the Yoniverse… Then, from that here is a little Tarot Psychology individuation sketch outline…

How Would YOU Order…
How would you order your Tarot suits before continuing this sketch exercise?
Would you go suit by suit? If so, how do you order the suits? Earth Air Water Fire? Pentacles Swords Cups Wands.
Personally, I prefer to order them like a creation story: Earth Water Air Fire. Pentacles Cups Swords Wands, though ask me again tomorrow. Not flippant, simply perspective that continually evolves from experiences.
How does this allude to psychological development?… Does it need to assume individuation?
And, if you do the switcheroo with Strength and Justice, VIII XI card flip-flop, how would you revise the above?
What things do you create? What do you make from your creations?
Listening to the Mystereum cards speak, resonant like an epic movie.
Tarot in the Land of Mystereum. It’s all about discovering your Inner Inheritances.
