Welcome to the Clear Light Door - Tree of Life game

This game picks a random card to start which determines a starting point on the tree of life, representing the journey through life and/or our current spiritual lesson.
Each card in the minor arcana is associated with one of the sephira(blue spheres) on the tree of life while the major arcana cards represent pathways between them.
After the first card a random possible pathway from the current position on the tree is chosen and this determines which card or cards show up next. You get 7 steps or cards per game. Click the New Game button to start and the Next button at the top to play another card/take another step on the tree.
Each pathway through the sephira is equally valid although reaching malkuth represents having learned the current spiritual lesson.
Some lessons are easier than others and are learned immediately while others may need to come up again before they can be understood.
In Kabbalah the energy flows down from God to the individual and back again through a lightning or z shaped pattern.

This journey is at an end.

7 Of Cups

A man gazes into the clouds before him at 7 cups filled with amazing and magical things. This card can represent having a lot of options. But it also represents wishful thinking or illusory opportunities. It's like a trip to the car dealership. According to the salesman there are a multitude of great cars for you. It's not to say you can't buy a car from a dealership but the reality of the situation may be entirely different than the sales pitch. Be careful. The reversed meaning is about having no good option. Just the same mistake you've made or wrong path you've taken before.

This card is associated with the sephira of netzach and the world of formation.
Astrological/elemental association: Venus In Scorpio

Temperance

An angel holds two cups. Water, impossibly flows between them. One foot dips into the water and the other rests on the earth. The angel's head glows with enlightenment and there is a circle with a dot on the angel's forehead symbolizing harmony with the consciousness of the Divine One. A square bounds a triangle on the angel's chest. This is a symbol of law and the trinity. Above this is written in hidden Hebrew script YHVH or yud heh wud heh, Yahweh, the name of God. Water lillies grow on the edge of the water. A kingdom in the clouds can be seen far away. The angel's eyes are closed and there is a solemn peaceful tenor to the angel. This card speaks to the emotional calm and great peace one acquires through the spiritual path when reliance on the ego and its plans and creations moves to reliance on the Divine and that becomes the constant guide.
Temperence sits on the 25th path from hod to netzach
This card is associated with the Hebrew letter samekh.
Origin:
The symbol of samekh represents a staff.
Mystical reference: This path connects the sephira of foundation and beauty. This is a path about overcoming old habits and patterns.
Astrological/elemental association: Sagittarius

Knight Of Swords

This card depicts a knight charging on a white horse with sword held high over head. The warrior is in the heat of combat. This card represents a passionate pursuit of something. A struggle where everything is on the line. Let loose your war cry and go! Tiphareth suggests a lesson of equilibrium while the sword speaks to the mind. The knight may have trouble on his path without being able to bring peace to his mind. A reversed meaning for this card would be someone who can't get up the will to fight.

This card is associated with the sephira of tiphareth and the world of creation.
Astrological/elemental association: Double Air

Strength

This card pictures a beautiful maiden with a halo gently closing the jaws of a fierce lion. The woman has an infinity symbol floating above her head with a crown growing with flowers. Her garland sash is likewise made of green leaves and blossoming flowers. The land is verdant and green around her and the sky is clear. In terms of spiritual transformation, "The deeper meaning is that the Secret of all Spiritual Activities is the power of vibratory energy. This is symbolized by the roar of the lion, and control of this energy is symbolized by the hands of the woman who grasps its mouth." ~ Emmanual Rose This energy of the strength card manifests differently at different levels. The strength is the same but its use is different with different outcomes.
The strength card sits on the 19th path from binah to tiphareth as well as the path from geburah to chesod.
This card is associated with the Hebrew letter teth.
Origin:
Zohar: "its good is hidden within it."
Mystical reference: Initiation and kundalini
Astrological/elemental association: Leo

Lovers

A smiling benificent red and gold angel appears in the sky out of the sun and the clouds with his hands spread over a naked Adam and Eve. A green growing apple tree with a green snake is on the left and a burning tree is on the right of the card. These are reminiscent of the tree in the garden of Eden and the burning bush of Moses and also reflect the pillars of Boaz and Jachim. The pillars of creation and destruction. The snake was a symbol of Isis and the divine feminine religions of the time that had knowledge through gnosis with the body and the mysteries of nature and the divine feminine. Clouds are a symbol of water and air, emotions and thought. Note the beautiful scene but the turbulent clouds connecting the couple. A volcano of passion stands between them. There is a dual edge to the promise of passion and this great love. Creation cannot be without destruction. Thus, humility and faith and allegance to the discipline of divine guidance are required for the harmony of nature to be uninterrupted.
The lovers card sits on the 17th path from binah to tiphareth.
This card is associated with the Hebrew letter zain.
Origin:
In the Bible "zayin" means "weapon." It can also be understood as meaning power.
Mystical reference: Zain or zayin is represented as a double-edged sword. This can be seen as a tongue or a penis. If the creative energy of words or sex are used appropriately they open the way to Heaven but they can also lead to disaster.
Astrological/elemental association: Gemini

3 Of Cups

This is a card of emotional connection, friendship and celebration. Three young women share a toast. They are great friends and caringly celebrate together. Sisterhood, collaboration, friendship. Maybe its time to indulge in a frienship where money, romance and sex are not involved at all.

This card is associated with the sephira of binah and the world of the supernatural.
Astrological/elemental association: Mercury In Cancer

Chariot

A mythical chariot driver in a chariot drawn by a black and white sphinx is depectied on this card. The sphinx represent the harnessing of the conscious and subconscious. The charioteer holds a wand in his hand signifying his ability to control the sphinx through force of his will. He wears a laurelled crown topped with a star signifying he is guidaed by the Divine. His shoulder pads are made after the fashion of the crescent moon signifying his intuitive power and connection while the square on his chest is a symbol of law. He wears a belt inscribed with astrological symbols. The bracers on his arms resemble sea shells, another sign of his dominion over the element of water. The front of his chariot is emblazoned with the emblem of a winged sun, an ancient symbol of Egyptian royalty and divinty over a lingam and yoni symbol representing the union of male and female energies. A canopy of stars on a field of blue hangs over the chariot. If you think about the transition from 6 to 7 or the Lovers to the Chariot, a love relationship can be like rolling down a track pulled by two hard running steeds. There is a course to it and a dual point of reflection in the sense of the need to be able to manage the horses but also a hidden warning of the implecations of being the charioteer.
The chariot sits on the 18th path from binah to geburah.
This card is associated with the Hebrew letter cheth.
Origin:
The word chet means "sin" as well as "life". The significance of the Chet is affirmed in the expression chayeh chaim (Life of Life), meaning God. This refers to the highest of the three levels of loving God, where the Divine Presence is fully revealed.
Mystical reference: The letter cheth is the first letter of the Hebrew word for life. La Chaim is Hebrew for "to life." For the soul to be living, it has to be enlivened with consciousness, light. The power of creation, the world of Briah, is in Daath, which means knowledge: the knowledge of how to divide and combine, and through that mystery, to create life. When that division and combination is completed, light descends.
Astrological/elemental association: Cancer
