The Tree of Life and its corresponding Four Worlds.
(Image is from Pinterest.)
Above is an image of The Tree of Life/עץ החיים in Qabalah. I will be making a lot of references to it in this post. The Tree of Life/עץ החיים is composed of three pillars where the left one represents yin, the one on the right represents yang, and the middle pillar represents the reconciliation of opposing forces. The Tree of Life/עץ החיים is composed of four different planes of reality that I will be referencing later on in this post. Each of these worlds corresponds to the the traditional suites in the Tarot deck: Fire, Water, Air and Earth.
Question
What key words and symbols can i use as stepping stones of support in walking my life process journey of transformation as my utmost potential?
Get in telepathic contact with your future self. Neutralize any remaining ennui or imbalanced cynical assumptions from previous experiences concerning the conquest of goals that are in line with your higher Will.
All cards are of the suite of Cups; the suite that corresponds to Briah /בריה, The World of Creation, which corresponds to the Neshamah/נשמה, the soul, on The Tree of Life/עץ החיים in Qabalah.
The 4 of Cups and the 5 of Cups are both flanking the endearing image of the Page of Cups; which is the heart of the answer to this question. The 4 and 5 of Cups here point to issues that might be getting in the way of reaching your maximum potential; that of ennui (4 of Cups) and cynicism based on previous attempts or patterns (5 of Cups). In which I raise the question for contemplation: How does one create new things when trapped in old patterns? Take new actions to create better patterns that will take you to where you want to go. Strategize.
Briah/בריה, The World of Creation is the evolutionary stage Consciousness reaches when it starts to define specific form and function after having passed through the highest world in The Tree of Life/עץ החיים, The World of Emanations, אצילות/Atziluth (think of it as The World of Causes in relation to Effects.) With all of the cards coming up as Cups, it appears to be an indication highlighting to you to design your goals on paper, and tweak them as you go along... approach your goals like an architect would; builders make plans on paper.
The Page of Cups is a court card that personifies 'air of water.' Its meaning in mainstream Tarot is that of an adorable, sweet and pleasant child engaging in sweetness. That personifies what we might be like when our minds (the intellect, air/swords) have properly merged with our soul (Neshamah, water/cups). Here we have two different species representing Awareness of vastly different orders of magnitude; the Page here being the entity capable of exerting more influence on The Matrix than the little fish he is being cute with as he carries around 'a lower octave' matrix that he is holding the fish in! This card is saying here, you are like the little fish, gazing upon that which you want to become, while that which you have became; is gazing back at you, actually helping you.
Get in contact with your future self to help you reach your goals.
The rune Tewaz.
(Found on Pinterest.)
I cast one Rune to reinforce the Tarot results & analysis. We got Tiwaz, a potent Rune that represents Law and Order. Tiwaz is also associated with the Norse god Tyr, a god of war that presides over matters of Justice. If the idea of associating a war god with this Rune as an advice piece is too menacing for pacifist sensibilities, think of it as the 'violent' act of a current of water passing over rough rocks that eventually smooth and refined over time through aeons of sculpting towards reaching a less 'rough' form.
It is no coincidence that the symbol for this energy is a pointed arrow; a common symbol used to indicate momentum (mass times acceleration following a trajectory). This Rune is following the plan of the person who set it in motion, fighting off chaotic forces that divert it from reaching its goal, that (should be) in line with Cosmic Will.
It is also no coincidence that the last card of the Major Arcana, The World is shown as a Woman (representing the final attainment of the soul's journey in this current cycle of manifest existence) barely covered by fabric that is in the shape of the Hebrew letter kaph; which symbolizes will power, and fortitude to get through resistance.
The order that is emerging from the chaos of all these symbols that have been cast is the suggestion to neutralize possible aspects of yourself that are getting in the way of you attaining your maximum potential; ennui, holding on to regret or disappointments from previous attempts to reach your goals.
So write a new story line for yourself to change your patterns, design a plan on how to attain your maximum potential (which is inherently your future self assuming your soul continues to evolve instead of de-evolve!), and develop the fortitude to do it, with awareness of Cosmic Law and walking the razor's edge of keeping balance.
Keywords: Design, Build, Future-Self, Teiwaz.
Even though this reading was specifically tailored for you; a lot of the ideas discussed here is universally applicable.
I hope this helps.
Some people work with sigils to help them reach their goals. If you feel inspired to go this route, I highly recommend working with @in2itiveart. She is AMAZING at this line of work. Here is her steemitgigs post describing what she does.
Absolutely flawless breakdown that resonated well with my being. Thank you for sharing The Great Work with Steem.
A) Like the way you mixed runes and tarot B) The AASR teaches the tree in a similar way (see the B&J) 🎩
Thanks!
The Hebrew Tree of Life and The Tree of Life in the Northern Mysteries are extremely similar.
The "Hebrew" tree is actually a relatively new invention. Dates from around the time of Isaac Luria as far as I can tell.
Thank You @zero-infinity
This was profoundly deep for me and quite accurate in matters of internal accounting.

Wow that’s quite a post- resteemed
Thanks! It was intense to write.
I have always been curious about this symbol with the Serpent (nachash) intertwined in the Tree (of Knowledge?) . Does it go all the way back to the time of adam and eve in the Garden ? Why does Jesus say be wise as serpents, and also compare himself to the Serpent in John 3:14 ?
1.) Yes.
2.) Check this out... the Gematria number for Serpent (nachash.. nun, cheth, shin) and Messiah (mem, shin, yod, cheth) is the same value of 358. Now contemplate, what does the Serpent have to do with the Messiah? The process of trying to figure it out is almost as important as figuring the answer out itself.
The Hebrew word for Serpent “Nacash” comes from a much older Sanskrit word... “Nagas” .... and the Nagas was the eternal Serpent God of rebirth and resurrection in the most ancient Hindu Traditions. This is where the symbol of Yeshua the eternal god of rebirth and resurrection comes from. And is Moses Serpent in the desert that saves the Israelites from death.
