    THE CREATION OF THE WORLD

The Magician: Mercury

   One morning as Nathan was waking up, he remembered playing with toys on the floor of his room when he was a child. He had felt like he was creating a world of his own, and he remembered wondering then what kind of world he would create for himself when he grew up.
   As the memory faded, Nathan became aware that he had fallen back to sleep because he was suddenly standing before The Magician, who spoke, "Each one of us continues the first primal act of creation every moment. In the way that we each react to external circumstances, we create our own personal world that remains a facet of Universal Consciousness."

The Garden

   The Magician continued: "You can create a garden of beauty and splendor in your imagination if you first clear your mind of negativity."

Feast

   "You can share a feast with friends and family, maintaining love and continuity with one another through the years, no matter how difficult times have become."

Homeless on the Street

   The Magician continued, "If you don't have much money, you can share your friendship and the abundance of your imagination with the poor through your stories and jokes."

At the Mall

   "You can wander through a flashy market place as people work hard to sell the stuff of the tribe, and you can wonder if this is the best that a wealthy society can create for its people. You might even imagine products that you could sell to others."

In a Cathedral

   The Magician continued: "You can visit a church or cathedral and know that many people have worked collectively to maintain a spiritual tradition in the community within those walls."

Amusement Park

   "You can wander through a fairy-tale amusement park or create a place in your imagination full of magical creatures and monsters. Like a magician, by bringing energy down the spiritual, mental, and emotional planes, you have the opportunity to imagine and manifest a world that works for the highest possible good of everyone."

Casting a Spell

   "You must remember that some people want to turn the forms created in your imagination into ice even though you are working for the highest possible good, but some of your intentions will work out."

Ghost

   The Magician continued, "You must also remember that at times you will be haunted by the past."

Making Music

   "No matter how hard times have become, you can always make music with others even if you don't feel that music is your thing. Musicians tend to help each other and just keep playing through all the mistakes."

Toxic Waste

   "You will find that some people have polluted the world, but we are all in this together and can work to clean up the mistakes of others."

A Path through Flowers

   "You can turn a place contaminated by toxic waste into a path of flowers for everyone to enjoy."

Pirates

   "There will always be pirates who wish to plunder the world for their own gain, but while they fight you can strive for the ideals of beauty, harmony, and abundance for all."

Battle

   "There might always be powerful people with selfish motives who plunder resources and enslave people for their own personal gain. Despite the horrors they create, you are always part of creating the world even if only in your imagination."

Nuclear Missile

   "Some people keep finding ways to destroy the world, but remember that you are one of the people who keeps creating the world," the Magician stated.

With the Sun at his Crown

   "Even in the worst of times, you can know the light of your divine core and continue being involved in the creation of the world."
