Delusion Isn't "Crazy" - It Can Help You Hang on and Keep Going

In the 2018 survival film "Adrift" Tami is not only inspired to keep the disabled Hazana heading toward land. She even receives good advice such as spearing fish to have something to eat. 

The source of that is her lover Richard. However, it's all delusion. Richard had been swept overboard during the 1983 hurricane Raymond and is dead. But the lesson is clear: Delusion can be a gift from the universe to overcome what our normal resources might not be up to. At least not at that time.

When Tami connects the dots and realizes there is no Richard she is ready to accept it. In this true story she does eventually keep doing enough right things to steer Hazana to a traffic lane of the ocean and is rescued by a ship. She goes on to have a long life of sailing. 

It's downright unkind to pressure others to surrender a delusion. No one puts us mere mortals in charge of supposed truth. Actually, such nudging can be classified as "toxic." 



In my Tarot readings my mission is to guide the suffering along the pathways to seeking relief. Part of that may be grasping onto what are illusions. 

Typical is the professional whose employer has gone bankrupt and they are out of work. For a while they have to have confidence they will land a comparable job - quickly - and not much will change. That "platform" enables them to get from that point of shock to start putting together a realistic search for income - any kind. This is plenty of that as Knowledge Work is drying up. Generative AI will eliminate even more of that. Delusion can be a necessary bridge to the new normal in the white collar.

During that period of accepting what is there is no place for beating yourself up for "crazy thinking."

Without the capacity for illusion the beginnings of the human race would never have been able to leave the cave in the morning to hunt for supper with the assurance that they wouldn't become supper for what was out there. 

Currently the sophisticated field of practicing law at Kirkland & Ellis, Cravath and Paul, Weiss requires enormous bravado about the ability to not only win but do that in a big way. When I do Tarot readings for lawyers part of that is unleashing self-confidence. We are our thoughts. The bible on that is Harvard Business School professor Rosabeth Kanter's book "Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End."

In order to turn around troubled Disney CEO Bob Iger has to continue to believe in himself. However, there is a real possibility of a hostile takeover. No, Iger isn't "crazy" to keep up the struggle and be assured he will pull it off.

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...
