...where do you feel your lacking?... what is the voice that is cautious saying...?... the one that is in woe-is-me?... what are your holding tight for?... what would happen if you let go and trusted...?...
...the more you believe that there is scarcity the more you operate from a place of scarcity... and the continuum of life will tell you - ALLAH is Infinite...
...the # 5 has a level of sanctity in my experience on this path...
...i understand 5 to be a number of completion... in a phase... in a cycle... as is represented through the 5 daily anchors of salat (Connection)... in islam... and echoed again in the 5 tenets to live by in islam... prayer, fasting, giving part of your income back to the community, pilgrimage to re-enact the biological structure of life - the atom - in the nucleus of mecca... and bearing witness to the Truth that there is no one but One (ALLAH = 1ness)...
...in traditional ancient south-asian medicine (ayurveda)... there are 5 elements...
...5 as a cycle in the mundane - pentacles - signifies your completion through your day... having completed your responsibilities in the day to day... what are these for you?... for me it is morning rituals - making my bed, dental hygeine, a drink for agni, salat... and then asana... then making and eating breakfast... then dental hygeine... then rest and digest... then shower and dress... then fragrance... then go about my duties...
...5 of pentacles is an investment... once you've gotten it... you have the caliber necessary for the next step... what's next for you?...
...in the image of tarot... there is a young man on a crutch... appearing to be panhandling... asking the woman with the shawl for change, as she rushes by him... in the process he seems to overlook the fact there is a window of pentacles/wealth right behind him... the stained glass window of the church... divinity... there is divinity here... ALLAH is Infinite... the perception of this man of himself is he is broke, poor... and he seeks from others who are scraping by... when the wealth has been there all the time... all he needed to do was surrender to it... lean back into the space... just as yoga and meditation and pranayama and travel and writing and music and cooking and community have all been there... you just need to walk into these spaces...
