By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com  I’ve been getting the number three like mad in the last 24 hours.  It seems to be tied into the “celebrate” message I received from opening a book.  In the Tarot, that message would be conveyed with the Three of Cups.  What I didn’t mention in that post is that I “heard” some words before I opened the book, “pain, resurrection, peace…”  And the book’s message seemed to align with those words.  I didn’t wanna think about anymore pain, so I omitted mentioning that part.  Just not a happy thought, that we’ve gotta move through the pain before we get to that wonderful peace.

Was feelin’ pretty blue today and wrote a lengthy rhyme about it on my “Write Off the Top of the Head” thread.  Was “drawing” some cards just now online and drew a version of the Three of Swords, a card I invariably dread seeing.  But this image really grabbed my heart.  Oh-ma-gawd, those eyes — those are the kinda eyes I was talking about in my “Divine Eyes” post.  Vulnerable eyes, so very vulnerable they are, we are, when we’re in pain. 

I’m so proud of myself, I did some crying today :) and this card, this awesome image, it helped me to cry some more.  And it wasn’t tears from my own pain, but that face, those eyes, so precious — it made me cry thinking of someone else hurting like that, so deeply…knowing how tired they are of it all, so frustrated by their own patterns, at a loss as to how to overcome them, how to heal them.  And so they keep repeating them, continuing that sad cycle of pain, such a prison…  I just wanna hug that heart so much.

I just can’t get over those eyes, I love that image.  Here’s a link to it.

And here are a couple of  interpretations for the three….
========================================
Three: The spiritual meaning of number Three deals with magic, intuition, fecundity, and advantage. The number Three invokes expression, versatility, and pure joy of creativity. Three is also a time identifier as it represents Past, Present and future. Consecutive Three’s in your life may symbolize the need to express yourself creatively, or consider your present directional path in relation to your past events and future goals. Three’s may also represent promising new ventures, assurance of cooperation from others you may require help from, and Threes typically symbolize reward and success in most undertakings.

=====================================

Three (3)

The third dimension - we do things in threes so they will manifest in our physical realm.It’s roots stem from the meaning of multiplicity. Creative power; growth. Three is a moving forward of energy, overcoming duality, expression, manifestation and synthesis. Three is the first number to which the meaning “all” was given. It is The Triad, being the number of the whole as it contains the beginning, a middle and an end.

The power of three is universal and is the tripartide nature of the world as heaven, earth, and waters. It is human as body, soul and spirit. Notice the distinction that soul and spirit are not the same. They are not. Three is birth, life, death. It is the beginning, middle and end. Three is a complete cycle unto itself. It is past, present, future.

The symbol of three is the triangle. Three interwoven circles or triangles can represent the indissoluble unity of the three persons of the trinity. Others symbols using three are: trident, fleur-de-lis, trefoil, trisula, thunderbolt, and trigrams.

The astral or emotional body stays connected to the physically body for three days after death. There is scientific evidence that the brain, even when all other systems are failing takes three days to register complete shutdown.

There are 3 phases to the moon. Lunar animals are often depcited as 3 legged.

Three is the heavenly number, representing soul, as four represents body. Together the two equal seven (3+4=7 ) and form the sacred hebdomad. The 3×4=12 representing the signs of the Zodiac and months of the year.

Pythagorean three means completion.

There are three wishes, genies have three wishes, three leprecons, three prince or princesses, three witches, three weird sisters among others.

==========================================
{Dove:  I started seeing the 3 everywhere (everywhere) last night, right after posting this comment on another’s blog…  I was responding to the quote indicated, from another on that thread.}
===========================
No, we definitely don’t need religion, and certainly not the fear-based interpretations of that old book, and the mega-controlling systems that sprouted from them…

“God said ‘where three or more are gathered in my name, that is where my church is’.”

Me, Myself and I (am) = 3

The Body/Heart, the Mind, the Spirit = 3
(”The Father, the Son, The Holy Ghost”)

The Earth, the Sun, the Sky/Air = 3

She, He, Love = 3

Paintbrush, Paint, Artist = 3

The 3 in the Tarot is the Empress, she’s about love and creativity (she adores Nature, animals, gardening, creating…she is the perfect “Mother”). She nurtures/loves things to life.

We are the Seed, the Garden, the Flower (3)

“Church,” “God,” “Love,” “Passion” “Joy” “Creative/Spiritual/Intuitive Energy” … “Everything,” is within us.

Peace,
Dove
