The Resurrection: Can Big Law Transcend Circumstances?

In Christianity, the Resurrection, not the birth of Jesus Christ, is the holiest day of the year. That's because of this: After his death on cross Jesus was transported alive, body and soul, into heaven. Obviously, he transcended a human limitation.

Over the centuries the inspirational message derived from this is that it is possible for all of us to also rise high above circumstances. 

As Easter approaches the same challenge of transcendence is thrust upon many large elite law firms encountering the impacts of the Trump administration. They include those making deals such as Paul Weiss and Skadden; those making deals but partially resisting like A&O Shearman; and those totally resisting, leveraging litigation, such as Perkins Coie.

What all face is the unknown. Both the ethos and the business of practicing law, as they have known it, have been disrupted. And there is no little yellow brick road back to what had been. No consultant, no public relations agency and no lobbying organization can hand out ruby red slippers to click for a flight to safety. 

In the tarot, that is symbolized by the Death card. 


Unlike the Resurrection story in Christianity the Death card in the tarot has nothing to do with earthly death. Its meaning is the end of something and the imperative to deal with that new reality coming into a career or life. Little is known. Maybe nothing is known. 

What's occurring to law firms is just the tip of the iceberg what is happening overall in American society. 

The tarot readings I do typically involve the unexpected overtaking the over-50. Their child is a failure-to-launch. The sector is downsizing. Early retirement came way too early. That startup everyone said there was a need for never got momentum. The spouse demanded a divorce. Health problems also are coming on way too early. 

Christianity and the tarot are platforms for trust in some kind of higher power or prime mover or mystical force field. That has your back. Among the few approaches to alcoholism which is effective - Alcoholics Anonymous - bets the ranch on a belief in an entity outside the human realm. All recommend: "Turn it over," then follow the intuitive guidance and do the next smart thing.

A concrete resource is the bible. That's a chronicle about how humans come through dictatorships, natural disasters, their own ego/myopia and more.

Another resource is a tarot reading. Here on Substack is the DIY guide I developed for you to conduct your own private journey to clarity and strength.

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. ...

Aging - Holding On To Sense Of A Self

Image
  The Wall Street Journal fingers retirement for the epidemic of a loss of self among the aging.  However, the process can kick in as soon as anyone senses they are no longer young. Gone is their youthful self. Denying aging, they don't invest in creating a new self - and continually bringing up to date that identity. By time there is a shift from a demanding career to part-time, freelance, entrepreneurial or no work there is no emotional, physical and spiritual platform to keep building on. In the Tarot there are myriad cards which salute moving on and breaking free from the past, even though there is so much uncertainty about the present and the future.  My favorite card for that is the Eight of Cups. It is commonly called The Walking Away card. I prefer to refer to it as The Walking Toward card.  Cups symbolize emotion. There is certainly lots of that in leaving the past behind. The mountains stand for the unknowns. The sitting position recommends not rushing the...

We Are All Paul Weiss - And Now We Are Different

Image
 Paul Weiss has been the tipping point.  The Executive Order by the current administration - the third issued - got to us. How vulnerable we all are to power. Forget the grade school lessons about what America is about. Forget how university deans caved during our counterculture protests.  Yes, and forget "rights"  as being sacred. Here's what we now know. The key driven in that EO was that a lawyer who had been a partner at Paul Weiss years ago - Mark Pomerantz - had landed on the US President's enemies list. Of course there were other things about Paul Weiss, such as its mission for diversity, which didn't sit well with MAGA ideology. But that stuff probably was small potatoes. Pomerantz was the trouble spot. How obvious it became: We are all Paul Weiss.  Conversations I have with tarot-card clients, what I read in the media and what's turning up on professional anonymous networks Reddit and Fishbowl scream one message: Everyone can be a target for politica...
