Semiretirement: Grafting Back on Pieces of You Lost During the Career

For those blessed with the ability to let the career go, semiretirement can be a time of emotional and spiritual abundance. If you play it smart in the labor market it can also provide a sense of financial security - at least as long as you continue to bring in income from work. That's the semiretirement dynamic: ensuring the continual inflow of revenue from laboring at something, anything. 


That is symbolized in the tarot by the Seven of Cups. The card represents the new access to almost limitless choice. The world has opened to you in unexpected ways.

The abundance can happen because you are empowered to transform back into the human being who might have lost so much control during what a career can do to you.

In some Native American tribes there is this belief: Trauma or even simple adversity takes away a piece of you. If you are willing to surrender to an awareness of that loss the part can be grafted back on. Again you are whole + there is the gift of having learned important lessons about the nature of work.

During the past three years of semiretirement I have been blessed to undergo those rituals of restoration. 

Among the missing pieces had been from the brief contract work experience with law firm Paul Weiss. During that interlude I was still, at least in my head, The Professional Woman. Yes, obsessed with The Career. 

From the get-go Spirit signaled it wasn't a fit. By time I exited from that force field already sawed into my soul had been a hole. 


Among my current choices is being able to ignore money as marker. I can seek doing labor which I treasure and which doesn't render me into a kind of human with "moth holes" throughout my being. In the tarot that ability to enjoy work is represented by the Seven of Pentacles. 

The mystical tarot messages optimism about returning to the person you once were before attaching to a career so one-dimensionally. 

The first step is taking ownership of the suffering. 

Next is getting it that you deserve abundance. To do that you have to learn to love yourself totally. Capitalism seems wired to steer you toward messages that you don't measure up as you are.

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...
