Leisa
(From the Book)
A crippled beggar holds out a hand waiting for alms. The beggar is unaware that coins--wealth--lie scattered on the ground around him. The coins bear the symbols of the four elements. The coin in the sky is the quinta essentia, the spiritual element that holds the four elements together. The beggar has
overlooked the spirit. No matter how much wealth he gets, he will not accumulate anything because the quinta essentia is missing. The quinta essentia nurtures his self-respect and self-confidence; it allows him to be carefree, generous, and creative.
Tarot wisdom: Poverty, ill-health, or loss of self-esteem are present or possible in your life. The means to turn the situation around are within you. You must open up to the unbounded creative potential of the quinta essentia, the world soul, that is at the center of your being. The same intelligence that continually creates the universe has created you. By accepting the guidance of your higher self, you can draw on this power and allow it to transform your life. The acceptance of this higher power leads you into feelings of gratitude, generosity, and freedom from care that are the characteristics of a state of true prosperity. For even if you have an excess of wealth, but have not a generous carefree spirit, then you are still like this poor beggar.
