November 7th, 2013 - Thursday - Lust - The realms of passion envelop the entire earth; life is like riding a seven headed beast and maintaining some semblance of control, knowing when to let it go and take charge, and knowing when to guide it as best you can. Let's be honest, you can't tame the beast... but you can work with it and guide it toward opening and loving and service and artful nasty beautiful darkness. How do you do that? I get the same answer over and over again. Stillness followed by movement followed by stillness followed by movement...
From yesterday's tower, with ego stripped away, and the old fallen away, and surrender the resulting magic... what comes next? Passion again. Lust again. It's still a sexual world, from clouds to flowers to animals to humans. Everything is sexual and even with your ego shredded, even virtuous, even open to all that is the flow of fearlessly right action... if you are still alive, passion remains. This card is calling us to remember that and not think of retreating to the cave or the mountain or the monastery. We are passionate. Get out there and love... guiding the beast, nudging the beast, but never trying to control it or tame it or squash it. No squashing the beast!
