The Tarot is NOT a complete representation of metaphysics across the levels;
it is missing a heap of cards.
There are a whole bunch of archetypes that are NOT in the Tarot, and if they
are missing, we are left at a loss as to what to do with ourselves conceptually,
because although we are and do these things, there are no labels for them, no
role models, if you will, and one then tries to squeeze oneself into the next
closest thing, only with archetypes, there IS NO next closest thing and then
you're buggered.
Always a stranger in a strange land, if you know what I mean.
Apart from the missing cards in the Tarot (and that is a metaphor for missing
archetypes in general!), there are many which are mis-represented and where the
metaphor doesn't match the actual existing reality beneath it.
The first time I really came across a missing archetype from the Tarot in
force was with the central character of In Serein.
He is an *executioner*. Not a soldier, not a king; not a general but
something else altogether.
There is no THE EXECUTIONER card in the Tarot, but there IS the EXISTENCE of
that archetype - everywhere, at that.
Whether it's Mad Max, Man on Fire, Chronicles of Riddick, everything that
Clint Eastwood has ever played, and if you want a real kicker, look at Darth
Vader.
That's The Executioner.
One of the (many) missing Tarot Cards.
But the one we are concerning ourselves with here is The Story Teller.
Like at first glance you might think that the Executioner could be stuffed
into the Judgement card or Death or such, one might think the Story Teller is
the Hermit, but clearly, that is completely off.
A Story Teller is the opposite to the idea of a Hermit in essence; they
interact with all sorts of others, and it is in the INTERACTION that they get to
be and do what they do.
And as the Executioner, it is an immensely powerful archetype.
By taking out the word, the concept, the physical Tarot card from the deck,
you cannot "delete" an archetype; but you can make it completely invisible to
every day folk. You break the bridge between conscious awareness and actual
existence.
It becomes a secret.
And all the very real power of the archetype goes underground with that
secret, because only those who know of it in consciousness can think to call on
it, to use it, to make use of it.
The Story Teller is more than just a shaman; more than just a prophet.
The Story Teller IS the living bridge between the conscious world and the
wider realms of Creations existence.
They are not meant to be secret, or cloaked, or hooded; they are meant to be
right out in the open and the first priority for anyone at all to connect to
that, reach that, understand that and integrate that, because without it, you're
literally nothing more than a muppet.
The Story Teller *is* that ability, device, bridge that frees a human being
from the teachings of any other *man* and instead, connects them DIRECTLY to the
all-there-is, to the Akashic Records, to an entire gigantic and intergalactic
NETWORK of other beings who commune there across time and space.
The Story Teller precedes all religion, all art, all music, all endeavour,
all THOUGHT.
It is the most essential archetype of them all, and to restore this archetype
TO CONSCIOUSNESS would in essence, "end war and world hunger".
That's a very heavy duty thing to be saying, but I AM saying it because I
know it's true.
We do NOT need more soldiers, scientists, teachers, preachers and healers.
What we need is STORY TELLERS who can get their information DIRECTLY from the
Universe, and NOT from the madness of men.
And the most wondrous thing of all?
Story Tellers are *infectious*.
You only need a one around and others "get it", too.
It's a structural/energetic thing that the essential ENERGY of any active
story teller, or any person who has their "story teller circuitry" on line will
give the sleeping beauty kiss to others - their circuitry awakes in turn and
they then have access to all that lies within that archetype, that very REAL
existence which has been a secret for way too long.
Don't worry about your "shadow" or your "child within"; go and seek your
STORY TELLER and awaken them, use them.
They can really TELL YOU directly what you need to do, and how it's done.
"Enlightenment is the awakening of the Story Teller."
