Virgina Giuffre, Activist to the End?

In her brief life - dying at age 41 - Virginia Giuffre opened the door for other alleged victims of sexual abuse to stand up for themselves. 

In her death, a suicide, she might also have been unique in her activism. That is, if we speculate about some kinds of inner torment that might be too hard for some to bear. What we know is that even before Giuffre had been an alleged Epstein sexual victim she had been one at the hands of a family friend. She wound up on the street. 

The 2015 film "Forever" features that meme of unbearable trauma and loss. One father loses his small daughter to a wave at the beach. Another man endured sexual abuse by his father and then there was the trauma of his brother murdering both the father and the mother who allowed it. 

They find refuge in a commune operated by a former psychiatrist and his wife. There they would search for temporary harmony and purpose. Then would be a collective suicide. 

There is no glorification about that as a solution to emotional pain. Two members, who are romantically involved, leave. However, what's put out there is that suicide can be solution to sustained inner torment. Belgium is among the nations legally allowing assistance for that. 

As a tarot reader, I encounter such deep suffering. A refuge which does provide the ability to live with the pain is some form of spirituality. That could be participating in an evangelical church or simply developing a habit of meditation. Essentially the torment is "turned over" to a higher power, spirit, the universe or what's called "god." 

The proof such turning it over is effective is this: Started during The Great Depression, 12-step program Alcoholics Anonymous is among the few approaches to putting into remission the fatal disease of alcoholism which has been successful. It is based on turning over one's life to a higher power. In the process, it may be preventing suicides.

Full Disclosure: In my family there seems to be a suicide gene.

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?

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...
