Quote: Yagai spoke about spirituality and economics. “A man’s spirituality, which is only his dignity as a man, rests on his own efforts. Dignity and worth are not automatically conferred by aristocratic birth; we have only to look at history to see that. Dignity and worth are not automatically conferred by inherited wealth. A great heir may be a thief, a wastrel, cruel, an exploiter, a person who leaves the world much poorer than he found it. Nor are dignity and worth automatically conferred by existence itself. A mass murderer exists, but is of negative worth to his society and possesses no dignity in his lust to kill.” “No, the only dignity, the only spirituality, rests on what a man can achieve with his own efforts. To rob a man of the chance to achieve, and to trade what he achieves with others, is to rob him of his spiritual dignity as a man. This is why communism has failed in our time. All coercion – all force to take from a man his own efforts to achieve – causes spiritual damage and weakens a society. Conscription, theft, fraud, violence, welfare, lack of legislative representation – all rob a man of his chance to choose, to achieve on his own, to trade the results of his achievement with others. Coercion is a cheat. It produces nothing new. Only freedom – the freedom to achieve, the freedom to trade freely the results of achievement – creates the environment proper to the dignity and spirituality of man.” “Beggars in Spain” by Nancy Kress --------------------------------------------------- Quesses so far: Magician (closest guess) High Priestess Emperor Hierophant Chariot The Sun 6 of wands 10 of wands 3 of pentacles 7 of pentacles 8 of pentacles King of Pentacles --------------------------------------------------- Clues 1. the use of personal power (abilities/talent) to create a product that others find worthwhile 2. wielding influence 3. inventing something new

3 of Pentacles.

Well, as "The Master" of the Osho Zen would be a litle unfair... How about the King of Pentacles?

clue #3: inventing something new

telcontar	19 Sep 2004
The King of Wands? :confused:

kryztyna	19 Sep 2004
Ace of Rods/ Wands

maria42airam	19 Sep 2004
Ace of Wands is the one I was going for! From JB's www.learntarot.com: Quote: Under its influence, you can become a conduit for inspiration and invention. Forget tired, worn-out solutions. You have the chance to be original. Trust your own creative potential, and there will be no end to what you can achieve. Congratulations kryztyna! Your turn!
