English Translation of Jodorowsky's Tarot Trump Explanations

I had always been drawn to the things that caught my attention, but did not understand. Tarot attracted me because it was very rare. I began to study the tarot card by card. I saw its structure: 22 major arcana, 56 minor arcana.
I saw the sticks, swords, wands, cups and gold. I identified them, etc.,but did not understand the Tarot. Then I began to shuffle the cards. I saw that they united each other and realized that the 78 cards could be arranged in a mandala, a single drawing. You see the Tarot in one fell swoop, and you realize that is a unit. And then you study it in parts. Once you analyze it, learn to see, because the Tarot has to be seen. No need to tell the future. The future is a scam. Tarot is a language that speaks to this. If you use it to see the future, you become a scammer. Simply, you're a charlatan. For me, the tarot was more serious. It was profound psychological research. Working with the Tarot, you see that there is a randomness, what is called syncronicity, everything is linked and there is no randomness and no odds. When you put your spirit into something, the phenomenon is produced. When you put yourself in something, when you go deep into a dimension that I call the dance of reality, the world dances around you and gives you what you're looking for.
One day a man came to see that world. He didn't know how old he was. He said: "I am a descendant of the family Camoin, which has printed the tarot for two centuries. I come to you to help me restore the tarot of Marseille." I had the wooden plates of the old tarot, I had collections of tarot. The materials arrived in my hands and we could restore the tarot. It was left exactly as it was in 1400. We could not go further because there was no more data. We restored the 11 colors, shapes, everything. Everything symbolizes something in the tarot. The tarot is a great encyclopedia of signs, a great visual language. All card games that you know decended from the Tarot, even common playing cards. It is a card game. There are not 78 cards in playing cards, they have 26 cards less. In the cabala 26 is the number of God. The English game of poker is Godless card game. In every place he went, he found a different tarot. There are as many as 1,500 different Tarot decks. I made a collection. But I knew I had a tarot that every other tarot came forth. "The only thing that counts is secret tarot, the tarot of Marseille," said Breton. "I do not understand it, but I respect it."

The Madman, the Fool: The total freedom without limits, without definition.
The magician is the beginning, choice, good choice.
The High Priestess: accumulation of experience.
The Empress: The original creator, without knowing where it goes.
The Emperor: material stability, total stability. Stable.
The Pope: A step beyond the stability, the beginning of spirituality.
The Lover: finally do what one likes, enter into a relationship with the world.
Chariot: Action in the world
Justice: given what you deserve.
The Hermit: go deep within oneself, in a crisis to raise the lamp, to find the inner light.
Wheel of Fortune: the end of a cycle, we need something to help us move to another dimension.
Force: Enter deep into the libido, animal forces, and realize them.
Twelve, the Hanged Man: go deep into your spiritual side, leaving a choice, one point separated from the world, stop the world and enter into yourself.
The Thirteenth: The arcanum with no name. It is not Death. The arcanum has no name, no name. It is the great, great, great revolution and transformation into something new.
The Fourteenth: healing. Heal, heal yourself.
The Fifteenth: the Devil. Go deep into your creativity with no fear of seeing. See all impulses arise.
The House of God, what was locked is now open. Out of bounds, out of mind. Out from emotional limits, out of all limits. Open.
Seventeen, Star. The Star is to find a place and once you find it, act in the world. Receive the cosmos and make Earth, purify water, purifying life.
The Eighteenth, Moon: the great archetype of receptivity, of the Mother Goddess. Poetry, madness, receptivity.
The Sun: the beginning of a new life, total love.
The Twenty, Judgment: The work finished, it has been discovered inside the animus and anima, your feminine side and your masculine side. Creation of a superior androgynous mind.
And the World, the complete realization. Your feminine side, your masculine side, your intellectual part, your sexual side, your emotional side and your earthly part. Let's the Fool go free, which is the total freedom ...
We went through all the arcana up to the World, to the total union.
Union, yoga, religion ... All that means union. A cellular organism is alive when it is connected with its environment. If a cellular organism is cut from its the environment, it dies. The human spirit is the same. If you do not join, if you do not you relate, you die. The Fool goes into the world to join with the world. When you join with the world, you lose your enemies.

Music and Life - Alan Watts

This is perfect, I was talking to black Chris at the bar one night and he sounded similar to Alan Watts in this speech, animation done by south park folks:

Dope Show

Watched this today...

"The Meru Project has discovered an extraordinary and unexpected geometric metaphor in the letter-sequence of the Hebrew text of Genesis that underlies and is held in common by the spiritual traditions of the ancient world. This metaphor models embryonic growth and self-organization. It applies to all whole systems, including those as seemingly diverse as meditational practices and the mathematics fundamental to physics and cosmology...Meru Project findings demonstrate that the relationship between physical theory and consciousness, expressed in explicit geometric metaphor, was understood and developed several thousand years ago."

I was lead to this through my research of Shefa Tal (according to Stan Tenen, the guy speaking in the video Shefa: Flow (sort of the sense of Tao, or wave model from what I understand) and Tal: Units of information (Particle model)
Google translates it:
Shefa: Abundance, plethora
Tal: Mound, heap

So a "heaped abundance" or as Tenen seems to percieve more 4th dimensionally, the abundance is in the flow and the "notes" that make the flow is the Tal.

Hiya

I still haven't found my camera, so no neat pictures.
Charlie got his 2M rig yesterday, it has been pretty fun so far.
I have also been turning an antenna around and around for my grandpa again, testing front to back, here's some old footage:


I laugh at the end with the pit-patter of the footsteps.

I also made a mouth bow a few days ago, my sister let me use her camera:

Show video and playa bike update

I borrowed my dad's dremel tool and got the PVC elbow's inside diameter to fit the bike's handle bars (which will be epoxied) I will drill a little hole in the elbow and run the wire out to the solar panel in the middle of the handlebars which will be secured with zip ties and probably duct tape :-P

The show last night went very well, met Chris of yatagarasu, very cool fellow really enjoyed his highly energetic performance! Talked to the coitus and got to look at some of his instruments, I really liked his strobe + squarewave oscillator instrument that had a photocell resistor on it, it was build into a flashlight casing, very nice! Melted cassettes broke my eardrum (not really) but that's not a bad thing, manzareeeta~ cool UV patterns all over.

Well here's the video my sister took of my performance:



I also got a large chunk of PCB board from the shack today, going to be soldering up the VU meter on that for spoke mounting :)

Defcon 16 Video and a few pics

Hi,
I think I am going to concentrate on constructing better sentences, I've noticed my blog has gone downhill in quality of writing!

Here we have a video of some Defcon 16 happenings:


I was really impressed with this guy, pic taken as we were leaving Vegas on Sunday.Too funny... "Build the perfect dirty bomb", only at Defcon.
Censored license plate, probably could find another photo w/plate #

LED Chaser/Follower: Video

Hot Bike Ride

Today I took a long, hot (112º F) bike ride to Michael's to get some sticker letters to label my lsdj-mc2, which is on e-bay right now.

I painted my LSDJ cart grey yesterday, but after I took the casing off the SRAM was cleared, thank goodness I had a backup, but ever since it's been pretty finicky, working then it will glitch up. I'm afraid to compose on it because I dont know if it will save or not. I wrote a really tight melody last night but lost it :(

Got another gret DMG in the mail today, also bought a couple broken ones (black and green), maybe I can fix them.

I bought a weller soldering iron on ebay today, the price was $.99 + 15 bucks shipping lol, yeahhh rigght :-P... must be hand delivered or something, pony express, but they usually go for $35 retail online, so I can't complain.

I've also been practicing throat/overtone singing. I might post a video on youtube, I'll link it tomorrow if I decide.

Speaking of youtube, I was watching this:


I really like the last thing and the vibrating dead bird. I thought it was so great when she said "If they were alive... I know that can't happen but..." haha! Great stuff.

Another day

I made and uploaded 3 videos to youtube today. 2 about LSDJ-MC2, demonstrating the sync and keyboard mode. The other was about a card I received today from Michael in California... I know 2 Michael's in Cali, both are Asian but this one is younger, that video was a little over 9 minutes long.

LSDJ-MC2 Vids!:


And Full Midi mode:


The V-LOG about the card:


I think that's it for this post.

What I did YESTERDAY

I rode my bike to the post office, I am really hating the compression on my youtube videos. They com out of the camera as AVI, I edit them, save as AVI, convert to FLV in SUPER and it turns out like this:






I think editing then rendering to a WMV then uploading had better results than my current method...
----
Now this morning I made a cool song: Happysad It's just a start, I had an idea, played it on the keyboard and transfered it to LSDJ, then ran the gameboy through the filter on my keyboard. It'll get even better, trust me!
