The family tree is not merely vital statistics about your
ancestors. It is an embodied sense of self that we inherit from at
least four prior generations, constituting both a life-giving
treasure and a deadly trap. Each of us is both an heir of our
lineage and a necessary variation that brings the family into new
territory. Are you doomed to repeat the patterns of your parents
and grandparents? Or can you harness your familial and individual
talents to create your own destiny? In Metagenealogy, Alejandro
Jodorowsky and Marianne Costa show how every individual is the
product of two forces: the imitating force, directed by the family
group acting from the past, and the creative force, driven by the
Universal Consciousness from the future. Interweaving examples from
Jodorowsky's own life and his work with the tarot, psychoanalysis,
and psychomagic, the authors provide exercises, visualizations, and
meditations to discover your family's psychological heritage and
open yourself to the growth and creativity of Universal
Consciousness. They reveal how identifying the patterns, emotional
programming, and successes and failures of the four generations
that influence you--your siblings, parents, aunts, uncles,
grandparents, and great-grandparents--allows you to see beyond the
stable identity formed by family lineage. It frees you to overcome
your inherited subconscious patterns of behavior and illness, stop
the transmission of these patterns to future generations, and
reconnect with your true self and unique creative purpose in life.
By understanding your family tree and your place in it, you open
your ability to heal the ancient struggle between the repetitive
forces of the past and the creative forces of the future.
Filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky's insights into the Tarot as a
spiritual path
- Works with the original Marseille Tarot to reveal the roots of
Western wisdom
- Provides the key to the symbolic language of the Tarot's "nomadic
cathedral"
- Transforms a simple divination tool into a vehicle for
self-realization and healing
Alejandro Jodorowsky's profound study of the Tarot, which began in
the early 1950s, reveals it to be far more than a simple divination
device. The Tarot is first and foremost a powerful instrument of
self-knowledge and a representation of the structure of the soul.
"The Way of Tarot" shows that the entire deck is structured like a
temple, or a mandala, which is both an image of the world and a
representation of the divine. The authors use the sacred art of the
original Marseille Tarot--created during a time of religious
tolerance in the 11th century--to reconnect with the roots of the
Tarot's Western esoteric wisdom. They explain that the Tarot is a
"nomadic cathedral" whose parts--the 78 cards or "arcana"--should
always be viewed with an awareness of the whole structure. This
understanding is essential to fully grasp the Tarot's hermetic
symbolism.
The authors explore the secret associations behind the hierarchy of
the cards and the correspondences between the suits and energies
within human beings. Each description of the Major Arcana includes
key word summaries, symbolic meanings, traditional interpretations,
and a section where the card speaks for itself. Jodorowsky and
Costa then take the art of reading the Tarot to a depth never
before possible. Using their work with Tarology, a new
psychological approach that uses the symbolism and optical language
of the Tarot to create a mirror image of the personality, they
offer a powerful tool for self-realization, creativity, and
healing.
