Tarot's Three of Pentacles - Meme of Mark Granovetter's Strength of Weak Ties

 In the Three of Pentacles Tarot card three very different kinds come together for a project. They are a monk, sculptor, and an architect. The card signals achievement. So, the message is: Success comes through tapping into and leveraging what might not be a traditional fit among professionals.

That meme mirrors the findings of the research of sociologist Mark Granovetter. In the early 1970s Granovetter documented that the power in networking more often comes from those outside our own sphere of influence than from cultivating the usual suspects. That concept has gone down in history as the "Strength of weak ties."

For example, Peter the train conductor on the Connecticut Metro North commuter train probably knows a lot more about what goes on in hiring and firings in the advertising sector than most of those actually employed in it. On the train, he overhears conversations, catches what's being keyed in on laptops, observes who no longer is aboard/who has come aboard, and is actually confided in. If you're a "Mad Man" and are searching for a job it could pay to develop a friendship with Peter. He can not only loop you in with where the hiring is but detail you in on the nuances of the agency's culture.

That's a hypothetical. The classic real-life example has been Bill Clinton, whose signature is The Networking President. From boyhood he would "register" in his memory bank everyone he had met. They were a God's Plenty. Then he would retrive that name when he needed access. 

Unfortunately, COVID pushed people inside themselves. It will take a lot of nudging for them to exit the safe confines of the self and jaw-jaw with everybody in-person. They will have to also look up from screens to connect.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-...

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

J. Michael Cline's Pain

Image
"Fandango founder [J. Michael Cline] left heartbreaking suicide note before jumping from NYC luxury hotel: ‘I can’t explain the pain’" -  New York Post , July 18, 2024  Cline, a very successful serial entrepreneur, was not alone in being unable to articulate his pain. So many suffering human beings decide to have a Tarot reading because they are unable to tell even themselves 1) What hurts and 2) How overwhelming that pain is. Our society demands that its members always be in complete control. That's the face you have to present to the world. The Tarot reader and the client work together to bring the distress to the surface. The New York Times explained how the Tarot is a tool for awareness.  Sometimes the pain is rooted in the unreal, such as the ruminations of the clinically depressed. They experience themselves as failures, on every level.  It could be temporary. There are those setbacks such the loss of the job.  Or it could be long-term as with chronic hea...
