Sun Enters Leo Tarot Strength and Bicameral Theory

Tarot Strength Bicameral Theory As an example of a bicameral archetype for this card, Achilles is opportune because of his reactionary fixed  automatic responses to phenomena.  We should note however that his character expresses wrath and anger but not hate. Is strength taking the fruit, or refusing the fruit? When presented with a phenomena outside of himself, Achilles responds to voices from within himself. He is, to all intense and purposes, a puppet  animated and manipulated by the strings of hallucinating voices of ancestors and Gods. These automatic responses are recurrent throughout the Iliad. However, when we examine the Odyssey, with […]

Sphinx. Cryptic Mythological Being From Ancient Times

Cryptic Sphinx, Relevant in the Perpetual Present The cryptic mythological Sphinx epitomizes awareness of a possible  event. She is symptomatic of hazard, implying an appearance of a new situation or enterprise. As the enigmatic unknown She is the as yet to be revealed future. We are not initially cognizant of consequences resulting from our engagement in her speculative opportunity, not realizing the answer to her riddle will be through our life journey.  Our voyage of opportunity is revealed through oracular revelation, which through life experience, leads to interpretation of her initial cryptic emergence. Mystery is energy and when the sphinx […]

Tarot Lovers Relative To Bicameral Mind Theory

Bicameral Mind Theory and tarot Major Arcana Card Lovers Tarot Lovers and the cards’ relationship to Bicameral Mind Theory, by  Julian Jaynes My rendition of The Lovers tarot card defines in its imagery the clash of modern consciousness rising within humankind, thus preempting the automatic responses of previous generations. Before 1000 BC, bicameral mind theory was of the opinion that humans responded robotically to the impulses of nature. Heard as ancestral voices, these impulses over time developed into the voices of gods. The serpent featured in the card is raw nature. It is the source of hallucinated ancestral voices that […]

Hanged Man Tarot Card, Hunting Ground Of The Paradoxical Bat

Hanged Man Tarot Card The Major Arcana tarot card, The Hanged Man, represents a world where consciousness is given up to sleep and our nocturnal eidolon, in the image of a bat, is released to hunt through our dreams. Here is where the waking mind sacrifices its sense of self-identity to the paradoxical bat so it will be free to roam. This path corresponds to the element of water related to the powerful Plutonian depths of our subconscious minds, where contact is established with other dimensional entities. Because our traditional concepts of language are not understood by the beings we encounter […]
