December 21, 2012, Doomsday or Ascension Day, Whatever
Breaking my custom, today on my blog, I ask a question, "Tell us all about this doomsday or big day thing?" Our overall message is that since you don't really know about it, and since there's nothing you can do about it, just let it ... Views: 2539
Yes, the books are nonsense. I remember one that had ‘a melancholy youth’ for the Rider Waite Page of Swords, which clearly depicts a person in the grip of paranoia. (I did find one book that was mostly all right.)
What you need, especially if you use Tarot ‘not for entertainment only,’ is ... Views: 2677
Here’s how - without any instructions - you find your meanings of any deck of Tarot cards if it pictures scenes of social situations.

Simmering just below most people's awareness most of the time is an instinct for not making a mistake, not being wrong. It can be a quiet but steady unease that makes a person less comfortable in his own skin.
Having to choose one right thing, the most right thing, instead of a right thing ... Views: 2311
What Was in it for Him?
Everyone wondered how this sweet-natured good-looking man put up with Torina the Terrible. Torina owned this huge clubhouse on the golf course with its restaurant and bar, spa and the works. She reminded me of Catherine the Great – same dull and powerful look, same ... Views: 2306
Here is one of my very early clients. I learned something from her story, and pass it on to you.

This first paragraph is a succinct summary of the embroidery that follows:
Clearing your mind of other people's stuff frees you up to

Spiritual life is real life. It's who you really are - even who you are when you aren't living physically anymore. In a sense, what you are is your beliefs, your values. Seekers of actionable and factual information, however, are inundated by theory, propaganda and religious politics. It's so ... Views: 3028
Let's say your question is how to get out of an undesirable situation or how to make a desired situation happen. Asking the question is an act of faith in the universe, whether you address the question to Tarot or anywhere else.

A mystic, to me, is someone who has a direct relationship with God (He doesn't care what you call him, by the way!). That relationship is accomplished by simply willing it to be so ... not thinking that you willed it to be so. With that definition, calling yourself a mystic should not be ... Views: 3232
You sense it. It's a program running in the background that you are about as conscious of as you are of your refrigerator running or your own breathing. But when you least expect it, spiritual reality intrudes and grabs the spotlight like a car accident intrudes upon a normal afternoon, often ... Views: 6352
The structure of any species' brain predisposes it to certain kinds of thinking.

Much of the discomfort we experience that we call 'stress' is really turf related. Defending turf is a primary instinct for mammals and we are mammals for all our pretensions. In humans 'turf' expands to whatever it is we feel entitled to.

The single most accurate indicator of a young lawyer's success, I objectively observed in south Florida as an humble court reporter, was this attitude: that he freely and enthusiastically wished riches on everyone, success to everybody around him. This puzzled me at first, so I paid ... Views: 4309
"I'm not happy," she said. "I'm not prosperous. And all my friends are." She was in distress, was very upset. She presented no specific problem, just a very black mood. Hmmm.

Accepting whatever client happens when beginning a service business as an entrepreneur is normal.

Tarot is an exercise in creative thought. Quite apart from any messages or any use of messages it can produce, the act of simply figuring out language that arises from combinations of cards stretches one's mind: It is mental exercise like bridge or blackjack is.

Confidence is a Tangible Asset Worth its Price
