The Creator Aspect of God

Card messages in the Illuminated position. + Creation (Creative, Expressive, Fresh, Imaginative, Inventive, Innovative, Original, Spontaneous, Stylish) Creation happens: in birth, design, manufacture and connections. Every idea has the germ of newness, this is Art. Apply yourself to inventing your life. You are the creator but true artistry will take talent and persistence. Recreate, refine and hone your skills and you will become the maestro. Then watch how people seek you out. Uncage the artist within and do some original creation. Otherwise you are a spectator of someone else’s design. Quotations Illustrating the Overleaf in this pole What do you bring to the table to make the who thing work?“We have art that we may not perish from truth.” Nietzsche “Art is Nature speeded up and God slowed down.” Chazal “Adhere to your own act, and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant, and broken the monotony of a decorous age.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Card messages in the Shadow position. - Self Delusion (Artificial, Dreamy, Emotional, Flaky, Moody, Picky, Self-Delusional, Self-Destructive, Skeptical) Artifice is a veneer. It is meant to convince the observer that substance is present when actually it is a false front. Sometimes the creator can deceive themselves, as well. The authentic self is hidden or deluded in masquerade. Is it time to unmask? Perhaps someone is deceiving themselves and wants you to believe it with them? Self Deception might be useful for training your persona, but it is terrible if you can no longer see the original you. Quotations Illustrating the Overleaf in this pole “In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson “A genius is to achieve complete possession of ones own experience, body, rhythm and memories.” Pavase

Artisan Role Overleaf Energy in The Michael Teaching

In its most exaggerated form the Artisan is the creator, tinker, discoverer, and questioner, the conceptualizer, and the one who differentiate to discover nuances. Even to his/her flaw, the work might become a source of noble essence-sacrifice when viewed as a great undertaking or lead to despair, collapse and even suicide with the unrealized dream. It is the nature of the Artisan to dream, to bring illustration explored throughout this text and their meaning defined. This person has the uncanny ability to exist in chaos and extract order from it. Think, The Wacky Professor with an office so cluttered as to overwhelm others but to know where all items are. Additionally, the Artisan, when in full function, is perhaps the only role that can actually “multitask” because of their 5 conceptual inputs. These folks often work on my than one project and may have trouble finishing one before moving onto another.

Cultural Archetype- Exalted Arcana

I am, therefore I create! The notion of the Artist is embedded in everyone, to some degree. From adaptation, to solving puzzles, to dressing dolls, to assembling models, to drawing by hand or electronically, or discovering a process and developing it; all fall within the driving essential characteristics of this Archetype. Fascinated with “what makes things tick” (including people), the drive of the Artisan archetype is that of intellectual understanding of the workings of creation, and acting as a creator! Masks, costumes, adornments, idiosyncrasies personal ticks or styles, are the substantive influence of this aspect of a person.
