The Raw Economics of Human Mergers: Before the Middle Ages, There Was No Such Thing as Romantic Love

 "He's a nice guy." or "She's such a good human being."


That's how the typical tarot reading starts out if the person in pain is struggling with the decision to end the romantic relationship. 

At least that's what's typical in America. That's not what is standard in a number of other countries in which I conduct tarot sessions. 

See, in America too many can "afford" to rule out most of the pragmatic issues when it comes to matters of the heart. Those can extend to what is accepted as loyalties supposedly due in friendship and even in the office. 

In less affluent economies pragmatism dominates. It has to. That takes the actual form of being aspirational, as in "Where will this take me?" At the very least, that means survival. But it can be linked to hopes of getting beyond just getting by. 

Usually in America the unease about a relationship sets in when A) Adversity hits or B) Success begins to happen. Then, there is the Ah-Ha moment of:

"I can't keep doing this."

"This is not enough." 

"This is not helping me."

"This is holding me back." 

Shaken loose are all the features of what's aspirational. They range from questions about what kind of relationship is needed to rage about being tethered to the wrong fit for way too long.

Before the code of Romantic Love began during the Middle Ages, such ties were economic. For example, based on the demands of a division of labor, human beings set out to find what to them would be the best fit for the life tasks that had to be performed to not only survive but maybe even having a shot at moving ahead in a society. Once there was a meeting a minds (not necessarily of hearts) between the two parties there could be the courting, then the marriage - or merger.

In current times we refer to that as "team work." Or, if the joining together is performed in the upper tiers of a society such as on Manhattan's Upper East Side, the merger is classified as a "power couple." 

The same pattern occurs in networking. That is a process operated according to the rules of horsetrading.  And, of course, it's totally aspirational. The members of a network aim to get ahead - and stay ahead.

You aren't allowed in, at least not for long, unless you have something of value to trade. Maybe that is access, skills, wealth, ability to provide jobs, the likability to get votes or even the reputation for blocking projects. Being a nice guy or a wonderful human being? That doesn't cut it. The master networkers of our times - former US President Bill Clinton, Paul Weiss chair Brad Karp, JP Morgan Chase ceo Jamie Dimon - have plenty to trade. You bet, they are "courted."

So, what can help you out if you are confused about matters of the heart? As The New York Times reports, the tarot is a tool for self-awareness. During the session, what can emerge is what you, at that moment in your life, are really "looking for." And the blessing is that you should be able to experience that realization without shame. Incidentally, there are no wrong or right feelings. 

What those disappointed in romance, friendship and professional networking may be encountering is the surging internal pressure to surrender to the raw economics of human bonding. From cave man times to, yes, now it's about sizing up potential/opportunity and then going after that. 


Ideally along that journey you should be able to thrive emotionally and spiritually. Pragmatism and inner peace are not mutally exclusive.

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...
