Connect the Dots, Part V of Episode 2 in The Mad Hatters Musings Series

Playing Ball with the All of it All

Achieving conceptual Wholeness is also defined by our Page of Swords according to The Wheel 10, like the decimal system where 10=1= One whole relative to all/none (Fool O -- all of nothing or "x"/nothing, of all or "x") where upon the act of seeking wholeness assumes it is relatively unfinished and Not yet whole or all rolled into One. (geometrically, our points and lines on the 2-d plane look very much like the Kabalistic Tree of Life at this stage, which, in 3-d solid also forms the 3 sided "eye" pyramid and the 4 sided base pyramid found on the back of a dollar bill. Hmmm… connect all dots and a pentagram/pentagon "glues" the two pyramids together. Ok, we'll have to go down this road another time).

Thus to slide into "home base", or pass "go" and collect 200$ one must leave, lap, then return to home base (1,1). So if one requires that something must change or move to reach One we must continue to play ball: to spin, divide, re-organize, shift, consolidate, transition, resist, and multiply, for example, in order to achieve, breakthrough, or judge "x", or the desired wholeness, which can never be finished actually, but is perceived as a conceptual structure to be temporarily fulfilled at 21, the World/Fool. This 22 card cycle again brings to mind the High Priestess portal II, now twinned, balanced, (by Temperance, XIV) or even squared with itself, which again evolves, revolves, or resolves into Empress triangles which presumes and thus, predicts "sides" of conflict in The Emperor's box or kite, and so on.
(I am officially a Mad Hatter, I know).

So let's take a break here well beyond the threshold of insanity to consider any patterns that are beginning to emerge. Can we start to predict basic routes, forms, social dynamics, and degrees of relationships, connections, fears, hopes, or missing or needed elements simply by connecting the proverbial dots between the virtual points and lines which make up the geometry inherent in a particular Tarot card?
I think, with patience and practice we can learn to superimpose or integrate the points, lines, shapes, etc. of geometry onto things like goals and pathways, for example, or people and heart's desires etc. and a dynamic map of the common human experience begins to evolve, unfold, and perpetuate itself, enabling certain types of prediction to be made.

Connecting the dots also gives us the ability to synchronize, reflect, or manipulate the unfolding properties, patterns, entanglements, relationships, milestones, potential, etc. that make up not just the visible shape of things to come, but allows us to peek beyond what is immediately observable into that which is conspicuously absent such as hidden motivations, unconsidered or missing elements, challenges, secret attractions, or fears. Once you begin to perceive the map, you can even take the Fool's more direct Magician's route, thus effectively making a quantum leap towards your desired destination while reducing superfluous, unnecessary, or redundant steps, or breaking vicious cycles.

So embrace the power of The Magician if you will, or Not. Either way, purposefully co-creating, forming and participating in the reality you choose to observe and thus shape is as simple as starting with One, one, two, three…
