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.

6 Of Cups

In this card, a young boy closes his eyes and inhales the scent of a large flower. He simultaneously holds the flower out to a younger girl, perhaps a little sister who eagerly awaits her turn. This card represents happy childhood memories or innocence and childlike play. Could you be providing this? Are you missing this? Would it do you good to connect with some of those memories?

This card is associated with the sephira of tiphareth and the world of creation.
Astrological/elemental association: Sun In Scorpio

Justice

This card depicts a king on a throne with a sword in one hand and a set of scales in the other. He wears a crown with a square symbolizing the law. On his chest is a circle symbolizing harmony bounded by a square. A curtain stands between two pillars behind him and the throne he sits on does not have a visble back to the chair. The curtain is a symbol of a veil over reality and he is its guardian. The figure wears a green mantle over a red robe and a white foot is visible from beneath the robe. White is a symbol of purity and red a symbol of passion while green is a symbol of nature and regeneration. These colors reflect the geometric shapes in the card. This is a card of balance and a perspective on managing the sword that is the mind. Law is a form of restraint. In terms of the ultimate, God cannot know lack or limitation and thus, restraint can only exist in the world of creation, in the world of illusion. In this case, the restraint of ego and the bounding of it by law is a way of moving towards humility and the removal of ego.
Justice sits on the 22nd path from geburah to tiphareth.
This card is associated with the Hebrew letter lamed.
Origin:
The symbol of lamed represents an ox goad.
Mystical reference: The path of lamed connects the sephira of geburah (strength) and tiphereth (beauty) suggesting the need to balance impariality with the ability to act/make judgements of mind. By virtue of being strong and disciplined the beauty of the soul is evoked.
Astrological/elemental association: Libra

5 Of Cups

The five of cups is a card of dissapointment or failures. It shows a man in a long black cloak standing by a riverside. 3 cups are overturned near him and he appears to be crying over them or distraught at the loss of whatever holy grails were within. Still, two cups remain standing. All is not lost. Forgiveness and appreciation are the keys for moving on in this situation.

This card is associated with the sephira of geburah and the world of creation.
Astrological/elemental association: Mars In Scorpio

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

Queen Of Swords

The queen sits on a throne adorned with cherubs and butterflies. She holds a roasry in one hand and a sword that points straight up in the other. She has a friendly countenance. This card represents a positive intellectual environment. This could represent a teacher or learning opportunity or school. Perhaps the card is suggesting an education more suited to your strengths and talents would be in order. Perhaps there is a need for more education or a patron to help provide knowledge.

This card is associated with the sephira of binah and the world of the supernatural.
Astrological/elemental association: Water Air

Magician

The card is framed with red roses and white lillies of the valley and they represent a feminine receptivity and passion for creation. The man is wearing a white robe with a red outer robe that reflects the meanings of the flowers and a white band around his head. The magician holds a candle that burns at both ends aloft in his right hand while his left hand points down at the ground. An infinity symbol floats above his head and his belt is a snake. These are all symbols of infinity and harmony with nature's cycles of restoration and rebirth. A table stands before him with mystic runes of the elements inscribed upon the outward edges and the four symbols of the tarot lay upon it. In moving from 0 to 1, we see the symbolic meaning of the card. The Fool blindly moves forward into a creation that is ultimately doomed but he does not know and there is no shame in it. It is the lila or play of the gods. Hazrat Inayat Khan wrote, "We find in the Bible the words "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, and we also find that the word is light, and that when that light dawned the whole creation manifested. These are not only religious verses; to the mystic or seer the deepest revelation is contained in them."
The magician connects kether and binah, or is the path between them, on the tree of life.
This card is associated with the Hebrew letter beth.
Origin:
The word "Beth" in Hebrew means "House." "Bethlehem" means "House of Bread, (the birthplace of Jesus, the "Bread of Life").
Mystical reference: The second Hebrew letter, Beth, is like the mouth from which Aleph or air emerges from. It represents a tent or a house. References to the House of God could be references to vibration giving form to the life giving energy of the breath.
Astrological/elemental association: Mercury
