The study of the Tarot in an esoteric sense will lead you through one of the doorways to the mysteries of life. The Tarot has been with us since the dawn of time in one form or another as it is a pictorial representation of the journey back to the Godhead. . And as you work your way through each impression of the card, you will experience the energies associated with the archetype that the card represents.
Truth depends on the insight of each individual, and each one will have their own truth and it will be relative to the degree of their spiritual maturity.
Everyone who uses the Tarot Trumps for Pathworking meditations will have a different experience because we are all at different levels of development and it can take quite some time before the cards will reveal their secrets to you. This is why it is important to note and record everything that happens during a meditation. To gain the deepest possible benefit from meditation, take the Tarot card you are going to work with and keep it near you. Look at it often and think about its symbolism. This will allow your subconscious mind to accept the different levels of meaning and help you unlock the potential of the card.
Because each one is at a different level of development, the experiences of each participant will be different, and the energies will affect each one differently. The Trumps will adapt to your personal requirements and needed lessons and experiences will be revealed if the directions are carefully followed.
The meditations can either be experienced in a lying position or sitting in a comfortable armchair. Do not attempt the meditation if you are feeling tired as you may fall asleep. Always start the meditation with a short period of relaxation and follow with some energetic breathing; ie breathing in through the nose and sighing the breath out through the mouth. After 5 – 10 breaths, breathe normally throughout the remainder of the meditation.

This is because from our perspective, we are at the material level, Malkuth, and we are making the journey back to Source, Kether. The Path of Return is a mirror image of the Path of Projection into incarnation. As long as our consciousness is anchored onto the earth plane while we are in incarnation, it is with the earth that the serious work begins.

The aim of all initiation is the integration of man’s personality into a soul personality and the elevation of his consciousness beyond the ordinary mundane thinking into the abstract.
