You are, or soon will be, seeing with greater clarity and insight, a situation that has been obscured to you in the past. Oh human angel, your path is perfection in the divine sense – not in some artificial absence of struggle, but in the wrestling of darkness and light that ignites the fire within your holy heart. He is interested in loving you as a face of the Divine Beloved that he is surrendered into, in an eternal embrace of exquisite tenderness, passion and reverence. The flavor of mysticism in Rumi’s poetry comes through in the simmering stew of his Islamic roots, his experience as a refugee, his command of Arabic and Turkish, his love of playing chess and his reverence for the Old and the New Testament.Just remember, if you are ever in need of the Great Beloved, there is a place where sacred tryst is always available to you; in the temple of your heart with the window cracked open, so that doubt can fly out and love can breathe freely. If you wish to read the full poems and explore the beauty and wisdom of Rumis poetry in greater depth, Rassouli has published a book, Rumi Revealed which makes an excellent companion to this deck. I could feel the feminine softness and sensuality of my body and the potent, fierce masculine energy of my spirit combined. You are asked to trust in your perceptions that when they come for the heart – although what you perceive may be darkness – there will be no judgment in it. Whether your version5 of the Divine is God, Allah, the Goddess, the universe or any other aspect, it matters not.
