A Society Shakes Itself Out of Feel-Good Trance: The Tarot Is about Coping



Multiple threats to our way of life, be it the prospect of civil war or the wipe-out of white-collar jobs, are shaking society out of the feel-good trance.

In Business Insider, Amanda Chicago Lewis discusses how that optimistic ethos overtook pockets of America. A prime driver had been the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand which had been extended beyond publishing (which went into decline) to pricey retreats and pet food. Now many are scratching their heads and deciding that isn't how reality operates. 

During the past eight months clients for Tarot readings come not to exit the session feeling extreme optimism. Instead they want the hope of understanding what the solutions can be. For instance, not one since losing their jobs or contract assignments has rejoiced with the platitude: The universe knew I didn't belong there and I am blessed with the need to put myself on a new path. Instead, they are seeking the awareness - a benefit of the Tarot which The New York Times documents - of what to do which doesn't worsen their situation as well as moves them forward in being able to earn a good living again. The old-fashioned term for that is "coping." 

In this way, the Tarot finally is being approached in much the same way that clients go to defense law firms such as Jones Day, Kirkland & Ellis or Paul, Weiss. What they are "buying" is concrete guidance on achieving the best outcomes in a particular situation. Not magic. 

If the Tarot reader or defense lawyer is gifted the result could be to position the client better than when entering the crisis. Usually that entails lots of change and acceptance of tradeoffs. 

Every so often a utopian movement emerges. Those searching can find the envisioned bliss seductive. Those movements such as the counterculture in the late 1960s and early 1970s come and they go. Most recently has been the supposed mysticism of opening oneself to what the universe is trying to bless you with. That's not the mission of the Tarot. Dating back to the 14th century. it seeks to reveal what is and guide coping options.

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...
