Uniting Intelligence

 

I will note here that the union shown is from the first connection to the body from the spirit itself, that is to say that it is like a tentacle that reaches from your spirit connecting

you to your body.

As you may have noticed the intelligence (aspect of the cards) isn't only dealing with a personal (self) aspect but a universal one too.

Something that, isn't only common to all people, but also to the general idea of the creation/ formation of things as we know them here on this planet.

Like if you weren't created with intelligence you wouldn't be reading this.

You may wonder what the uniting intelligence is. WHAT is united? How is intelligence united? United to what?

Here if you look at the (card) body image you'll see that the above (sphere) unites with the center.  That would be to say that the thoughts unite with the desire.

The logic unites to the will. It would be the question What should I do? or Why should I do it? What do I need and why do I need it?

Once the determination has been established (by you) then the drive sets in for an action on the physical level.

In dealing with the High Priestess card we deal with the union of fantasy (ideas) and reality (formation).

We deal with the many different separations/opposites that are present in all of our lives. The things that we see (perceive) in comparison to the things that actually are.

The most common thing to get in the way of this union is our conditioning (upbringing) over our lifetime from childhood to adulthood.

During this time we are constantly told and reminded of our inadequacies and inabilities. Of our lacking and faults. Not to mention our masculinity or of our femininity.

We tend to seek guidance from those we respect and in this way we impose great limitations on this union of this intelligence here in each of our lives.

Not to mention passing it on from generation to generation.

It (all paths) can be seen as a link. Once you understand something you've come to a form of union with that thing.  Seen as a part of a formative process.

Like the image shows from above to below the idea is linking a greater part of you to a lesser part of you. 

From a greater nature to a lesser nature within your being and body.

Like looking at a body all the parts work together and to say that one part is more important that another part is possible but still kind of stupid.

It doesn't seem that way if you don't have legs or have missing parts. But is it still working, and what are you doing here anyway?

The Uniting Intelligence can also be seen as cognition itself at a primal level just the essence of being and then taken a step further to realization itself and you could say

self-awareness but it's more basic than that.

You could call it the moment of cognition itself in essence and without the link between the spirit and body nothing else would need addressing
