There's probably a fairly simple mathematical equation that could set
up the card places and a program that could be used on the internet to
make it all word, but so far what I have is a deck of cards and a fairly
simple shuffling process that sets up the cards the was that seems to make
sense for this meditation.
Shuffling the deck:
The object is to make it possible but less likely for the higher cards (the more central to agape love) to come up early in the game. That way it allows you/me/us to deal with more aspects but also lets us know that pure spirituality is a possibility, even from the start.
The way I do it is as follows:
First I take out the Joker, and place it by itself (1 card).
Then I place the Kings in a pile of their own (4 cards). All piles
to be facedown.
Next I take the Queens, Jacks, and Tens and place them in a pile (12
cards)
And leave the rest in a pile (36 cards).
Joker
Kings
Queens thru 10s
9s thru Aces
Round 1:
Shuffle the four kings, Queens thru 10s, and 9s thru aces (each pile separately).
Take the joker, two of the kings , four of the Queens thru 10s,
and four of the 9s thru Aces and put them in a pile. This is to be
the working pile.
Kings (2 left)
Working Pile
Queens thru 10s (8 cards left)
(11 cards)
9s thru Aces (32 cards left)
Shuffle the working pile and take the top five and place in a new pile
(the final pile)
FINAL PILE (5 cards so far)
Kings (2 left)
Working Pile
Queens thru 10s (8 cards left)
(6 cards)
9s thru Aces (32 cards left)
Second Round:
Add both the remaining kings, four of the Queens thru 10s, and eight
of the 9s thru Aces to the working pile. Shuffle.
(The working pile should have 20 cards at this point though it's not
at all critical). Take ten cards from the working pile and place
them on top of the Final Pile (making it 15 cards).
Third Round:
Add the rest of the Queens thru 10s, and half of the 9s thru Aces to
the working pile (30 cards). Shuffle.
Take half of this pile (about 15) and place them on top of the Final
Pile (about 30 cards so far).
Final Round
Add the rest of the cards to the working pile. Shuffle and add to the top of the Final pile (now all 53 cards).
From here on, for the meditation, we just take the cards one by one from the top of the Final pile.
