Your Support System: Very Different from Your Professional Network

"Crushed."

That's how a tarot-reading client described how they felt after confiding slow business to someone on their network. 

No, that someone didn't rejoice at their misfortune. But they did soundly scold my client for not doing better. 

This represented the all-too-common mistake of relying on a professional network for what's needed emotionally/spiritually. 

Networks operate on the basis of the Favor Bank. Keep putting in big deposits and refrain from making large withdrawals and you'll probably maintain the ability to request business referrals, jump ahead of the line for a license and be granted a loan. If heading the network is a twisted creature like Jeffrey Epstein you might also gain access to sex, tax guidance and lux gifts. 

A support system is different. It's noncommercial. Those on it are, well, "your people." They are there for you in a totally human way. 

Even if they have to be firm in guiding you out of a pickle there will be understanding of what screwups our species is. The Bible, the plays of William Shakespeare, the observations of Sigmund Freud and the defense efforts of brilliant lawyers like Paul, Weiss' Brad Karp and Quinn Emanuel's Alex Spiro all confirm that mankind sees through a glass darkly. Yet we tend to be convinced that we've figured it all out. 

So, sure, invest in networking. Setting it up, nurturing it and expanding the scope. 

But, currently, especially in this time of economic, social and technological upheaval, you also have to invest in finding likeminded humans to be there for you. In a heartfelt, not transactional way. The term for that is your "tribe." 

Maybe Warren Buffett and Bill Gates were only network contacts. As CNBC reports, Buffett hasn't interacted with Bill since the latter's Epstein relationship was disclosed. That's not being a friend in the worst of times. And based on what we now know about how Bill treated Melinda French Gates, that association might have been only transactional, not deeply accountable for personal loyalty.

Last night a man in my support system called me about 10:30 PM. His sponsor in Alcoholics Anonymous had died. I stayed with him until after midnight, including a seven-card tarot reading. 


No, no fee billed. In support there's none of the calculations of the favor bank. Instead, there is authentic caring. One human being for another. Probably that comes closest to the mother-child bonding.

Path to success, your tribe and peace is inside job.

Let’s start the journey together with a Tarot reading.

One free question.

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...
