Cosmic Tribe Tarot
XX - EMERGENCE
Upward, outward, float, fly free. Already awake or in dusty dreams the universe for eons schemes toward this very moment. Arise, child, arise, assume your inheritance. A trumpet sounds. Come, the time is ripe for your Emergence.
A butterfly figure emerges from a trance into a spiritual plane between heaven and earth. At the bottom, the pre-emerged trancer sleeps. His sleep could be our everyday mundane reality, which is the soil of Emergence. Without our bodies, without our societies, consciousness could not happen, and without our awareness of here and now there can be no Emergence into a new realm of existence. Every level depends on the level before it. No level can be transcended without complete acceptance of the lessons of that level. All experience is useful preparation for this event.
Around the trancer reality stretches and flowers bloom. Echoes of this expansion reverberate as he sends up a white flower of openness from his heart. The heartflower fragrance envelops and protects the newly emerging self as he unfolds his brilliant blue wings. Off to the side, a stone reveals the eye of the cosmos observing the flowers learning to bloom. The eye also witnesses the baby taking its first steps and the butterfly figure learning to expand mundane reality into multidimensional consciousness.
His blue wings, invisible in the former state, test the fertile winds of a new reality represented by arching clouds in the background. He rides the green-leaf carpet of nature's magic. As the winged figure opens to a new paradigm, the purple orbs of cosmic possibility gradually materialize around him. He stretches his new body up and connects with the purple orb pioneering a new level of awareness.
