Chapter 20. PM tutorials take-home message
Tutorial 1
The PM, a variety of Tarot Patience, is based on and adheres to the standard principles of Tarot and Hermeticism. The principles are as follows:
1. The Third Mirror principle, “As above, so below; as below, so above.” The stalker plays the part of both the median and dual mirror, reflecting the world both inward and outward.
2. The symbolism principle, “As in the large, so in the little; as in the little, so in the large.” The PM differs from traditional Tarot Patience in that the PM goes “from the little to the large” while for Tarot Patience the reverse is true.
3. The cause & effect law, the PM being the cause under the first two laws. Castaneda calls it the Eagle’s law.
4. The law of balance, or conservation of energy. Its static view in four-dimensional space is nothing less than a PM spread. It is the layout algorithm of the PM that makes it valid in real life.
5. The mirror law, something that the stalker becomes in playing the part of each card. Consistent with principle 1, the stalker plays the part of the median mirror.
The interpretation of specific cards is subject to the principles of Tarot and Kabbalah and is similar to them.At the same time, the meanings of cards, in each case, depend on the goal pursued by the spread.For instance, the Ace of Clubs can be aimed at, say, childbirth or a global revolution.
That’s why you can’t make a table to show correspondences between the cards and entities.There are, however, tables that show correspondences between the cards and their meanings.
The meaning of a card as a hermetic symbol can have countless specific correspondences in real life. Just as the electric diagram of the radio can correspond to millions of actual radios.
