Film "Poor Things" - Part of Shift from Rationalism to, Yes, Mysticism of Tarot Cards

 

Just when you thought no satire could come up to British comic John Oliver's takedown of McKinsey, here is movie Poor Things. 

HUMOR SO DARK, MIXED WITH SCI FI

Set in Victorian England it uses dark humor, sci fi and alternating black and white/color to depict the wild journey of a female from traditional values to being a freethinker/doer who gains power and wealth. Simultaneously she softens enough to be able to love and forgive. 

Essentially it is the story of a very pregnant well-dressed woman who takes a suicide leap into the water. Mad scientist Dr. Baxter retrieves the dead body, transplants the dead infant's brain into the woman's and electrifies what comes together to life. 

Originally Victoria Blessington wife of a cruel rich man, the creature is renamed Bella Baxter. As she develops from infancy, in an adult body, she pushes for knowledge of the world and herself. Via a lustful lawyer she escapes captivity with Dr. Baxter and his assistant (with whom she had become engaged). 

BELLA OUT INTO THE WORLD

That takes her everywhere, including working in a Paris brothel (proposing procedural changes), becoming deeply interested in theories about the human species (is cruelty hardwired) and experimenting with improving life as it is (giving away all her lawyer's money). 

The template of such a radical journey is open for application to any aspect of a current life, be it big as that of a CEO or smaller as with strivers for simply making a good living. Some speculate paradigm shifts are in the ether. 

ROARING TWENTIES, FLIGHT FROM RATIONALISM

Those could involve a circling back to The Roaring 20s from the doom-and-gloom since 9/11 and/or even the emergence of another Romantic Era (as in the 19th century) with a flight from rationalism. Regarding the latter, The New York Times salutes Tarot cards as tools for self-awareness and the New York Post reports that in sophisticated NYC psychics are replacing therapists.

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...
