Mind Body & Soul Ezine Car Deck Review: Great Eastern Oracle - Empowering Guidance of the Mystics from Ancient to Modern Times by Rassouli. Published by Blue Angel Publishing. Boxed set of 44 cards with accompanying Guidebook. £18.99
Rassouli lives in Southern California. He lives a vigil of love through the surrendered heart, exhibiting his artwork, and writing inspirational books and creating card decks. He is the oracle creator and artist. This Oracle is based on the unknown with ideas from the great sages. The card images reflect the mystery contained within. There are differences between Eastern and Western philosophy, with self realisation from the East and self-creation from the West. This oracle is the Eastern, and we await the publication of the deck of the Western sages.
Sample: Transcending the Ego - lift the veil from the real you. No numbers on these cards. ‘The ultimate aim of the ego is not to say something, but to be something.’ Iqbal. Expression: Look deeper into everything around you. What is it that continually renews the fullness of life? Pay attention to hidden messages. Notice what radiates the glory of divine expression, like trees and flowers. The ego cannot experience love and joy. Reflection: Transcend the ego and restore the flow of love in all your relationships. This Oracle helps to remove blocks, such as your need to control and the need for approval. To embrace true happiness, you are directed to free yourself from attachments that materialise in relationships through judgements, jealousy, hurt, fear, and loneliness. You will achieve happiness when you are distant from your ego and move beyond this to mindfulness. To achieve a joyous life, transcend the selfish ego and open your heart so that love can enter. When your heart is open, you will look for things to love and be joyful. As you begin to see everything through the eyes of love, you will notice even little things, like a flower sprouting or a friendly smile from a stranger. Feel the love soothing your soul and let it grow, let it shine from your eyes, and feel the joy. This gift is your heritage and destiny. When you become aware of what love and appreciation fee like, you will allow that feeling to grow in you continuously. Mantra: My life is no longer ego based and I realign my words, thoughts, and actions with love and compassion for the world around me.
How do we convert a negative into a positive? How do we respond to life’s challenges in creative, loving and contented, productive ways? How to be the best version of yourself? Do you recognise hidden blocks to your spiritual progress?
Hold the cards to your heart. Take a deep breath and clear your mind. Shuffle. Choose. What does the image mean to you or remind you of? Red the text and meditate. Each card has an image, a title and subtitle. In the book, there is a quotation, an Expression like a visualisation, a Reflection on the sage and the oracle, and a Mantra to recite that is like an affirmation. Recommended on account of the wonderful art!
