A "new Russian" is planning to go on holiday to Cyprus.

His personal secretary arrives first and goes for a walk on the beach

with the owner of the 5-star hotel.

– And what's this?

– What do you mean? The seashore. Pebbles.

– Pebbles – no, that won't do, the boss does not like the stuff. Get rid of the pebbles, and pour

white sand everywhere.

– But that would cost a fortune!

– We're paying! Everything's gotta be just right!

The next day, the beach is covered with sand.

– And what's this?

– It's the sea!

– What sea? It's a filthy puddle! In short, clean up the sea, change the color,

the tide should roll in every 30 seconds by 55 centimeters.

– But this is underwater engineering work, very expensive stuff, as I'm sure you realize!

– We're paying! Everything's gotta be just right!

– And what's this? What's all that noise and racket?

– It's the seagulls?! They always live around here.

– No seagulls. Get rid of them all! On second thought, leave two – they can walk along the beach together, but no flying, under any circumstances.

– But that would wreak havoc on the environment, and it would also entail training of seagulls!

– We're paying! Everything's gotta be just right!

After some time, all the work is completed.

Finally, the boss himself arrives. Checks into the penthouse suite.

Walks to the sea along the clean white sand, admires the two seagulls,

as they stroll lovingly together by the seashore. Sits down on a lounge chair, takes a deep breath

of fresh sea air, and says:

– My God! Such beauty and splendour! These are pleasures that even money can't buy.

Aces, according to the Kabbalah, are a primal source of Power, a manifestation of the Absolute, an overwhelming power or force, a force majeure.

An object, a process when Matter or Finance "overwhelmingly" enter the world.

Accordingly, the Ace of Disks is the "overwhelming" force of Matter or Finance.

In the Material world, it may symbolize, for example, a bulldozer or a Fed printing press133.

.

Please, note:

The concept of an "overwhelming" force or power depends on the "caliber" of the subject or observer.

For an ant, an "overwhelming" force may be a baby finger. For a mountain the size of Fujiyama, not every nuclear explosion is an "Ace".

.

Fig. 1.14.2 Ace of Disks – the overwhelming force of Matter. Rain, a downpour, snow, hail, a tsunami, the ocean.135

.

Fig. 1.14.4 Ace of Disks – the overwhelming power of Matter. Wind, a hurricane, a typhoon, a tornado, the Earth's atmosphere.137

Fig. 1.14.5 Ace of Disks – the overwhelming force of Matter. The Earth's magnetic field, which protects the planet from cosmic radiation.138

.

Fig. 1.14.6 Ace of Disks – the overwhelming power of Matter (for a human being). A rhinoceros, an elephant, a bison, a whale – any big and strong animal, bird or fish.139

.

Fig. 1.14.5 Ace of Disks – the overwhelming power of Finance. A money printing press, the source of a formative world currency.140

.

Fig. 1.14.8 Ace of Disks – the overwhelming power of Matter and Finance. A large, economically profitable deposit of stock-exchange assets – oil, gas, lithium, and other mineral resources.141

.

Please, note:

In our Solar System, the main142 source for the manifestation of the Absolute is, in essence, a star named the "Sun".

All other manifestations of Matter are, one way or another, only a consequence of its activity.

.

The defining feature of the Ace of Disks is its subjectively "overwhelming" power in Material or Financial matters.
