Шрифт:
Nature: Well, so be it, my Lord. Take your crown.
.
"Fours", according to the Kabbalah, represent nature and all things natural, simple forms.
Recall that Disks are the Earth Element – everything related to Material or Financial matters.
That which you can actually touch and feel in reality, like Matter.
Or the Financial aspect of Being.
Thus, the Four of Disks is Matter in its "simple", natural form.
Or a simple form of Finance.
A boulder or a coin, for example.
.
Please, note:
A "simple" form is an indivisible form, which doesn't consist of numerous other forms.
A "complex" form is one that can be taken apart and put back together again, like a lego constructor set, without destroying its individual elements. A "complex" form is usually called a "formation".

Five of Disks
.
A bagel that you get as a freebie, tastes almost as good as a croissant.
.
"Fives", according to the Kabbalah, represent a door, a gate, a portal, a place of storage – a container, a source.
Thus, the Five of Disks is either a place of storage –a container – or a source of Matter or Finance.
For example, it may symbolize a place where Matter or Finances are stored, in one form or another. And from where they are periodically or continuously ejected or released.
