"I Just Can't Go On" - It's Not Just You

 The heads were nodding throughout the Buddhist temple. The priest in that particular order of Buddhism had introduced the meme of "I just can't go on." 

And, for many of us the Ah-Ha moment was: That feeling of deep despair is universal. It's not just us caught up in a force field of assuming we had run out of emotional and spiritual options.

In the tarot that sense of being stuck in total misery is depicted in the bottom half of the Five of Pentacles card. 


The top half captures hope. 

The reality is that, even in these crazed times (and this isn't the first round of that for civilization), there are options. 

Among the major ones in Buddhism is that fundamental that things are always changing. The mental burden I walked in with the temple last evening will be modified as I do my cushion time. With that, my sense of where I am in the world. 

Another is the awareness of transition. There's that moment of clarity: I have been through a rough phase before. I got through it. This is just a more recent curve ball thrown at me. Meanwhile, the pain can be transformational. Yes, one of those use-it-or-lose-it.

A third, and it was hammered, was that I could reach out for support. The meditation room in the temple was filled with like-minded human beings. In addition, the priests are available for pastoral counseling.

In tarot-reading sessions we offer the same perspectives. That's why, as with Buddhism, the mystical process has endured for centuries, dating back at least to the middle ages.

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...

Don't Expect Compassion - The Sidley Biter and More

  Values are fragile entities. As a tarot reader I'm picking up on compassion falling off a cliff. With so much employment uncertainty, inflation and the disruptions of Generative AI, human beings are withdrawing into themselves. The mindsets are self-care, not caring much about others. Predictably the story of the law student doing a lucrative internship at Sidley law firm who probably has risked an entire career has become a joke. Well, it's been confirmed that they were a biter. Yes, the teeth kind. Not a hustler after opportunity. A rare bit of posting on Reddit by someone who works at Sidley requests empathy for a human being who will be caught up in the consequences of bad behavior.  That plea probably won't get very far. The same applies to other human beings on the wrong side of the economy.  In a 12-step club, for example, there's growing tension about the willingness to allow the homeless hang out. Their peculiar conduct has already reduced attendance at meet...
