Why Change Is So Hard - Tarot's Four Of Cups Clues Us In

 "We're scared to let go ofour agenda and listen for what wants to happen ...We feel safer projecting our imaginings of how things ought to be ..." - From the Chapter "Four Of Cups" in the 2021 book TAROT FOR CHANGE  by Jessica Dore.

The Tarot card for the Four of Cups is about resisting change. Its graphic is of a person parked under a tree, with his arms crossed tightly against his chest. A cup is being offered to him. He doesn't even give it a glance.

One interpretation of the Four of Cups is that what makes us block out what the universe is willing to give us is that, as Dore puts it,"we forgotten how to listen." What we can't hear is what is going on outside ourselves in the world. 

Instead we are preoccupied with the voices in our head. Often those are called the "committee of the mind." In addition, we spin fantasies about what we assume we want and how we are certain we will get it. Meanwhile, life passes us by.

Of course, the first step out of all that is to disconnect from fear. In itself that tames the committee of the mind. Without the angst there is no need to take refuge in fantasy. 

In 12-step programs the guidance for letting go of fear is to surrender to the universe - or to what we may not understand. Eastern religions recommed meditation and chanting. Christianity celebrates prayer. 

Soon enough we are receptive to the gifts the universe brings to us.

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?

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...
