What can we expect from the tarot?
Clairvoyance and tarotI am aware that few, very few people come to the tarot with the necessary spiritual and intellectual attitude, that is, making the interview a way to adopt, with time, attitudes toward life building roads, maintaining clear discernment of the absolute free will that is responsible with respect to its future.
Many are those who come to the Tarot as a last, desperate attempt to salvage the storm in their lives that are wrecked. Many also believe that the letters reflect an inexorable fate that no one, Tyre and Trojans, can escape.
And sketch some arguments about what to expect (and what not) of the Tarot is as important as learning to throw the cards correctly.
It is as old as humanity itself the discussion about whether free will exists, if every human being faces the future as to a blank page, or if all is inexorably written on it: the will to choose against determinism has many supporters as detractors.
And an exercise of reasoning confronts us with some paradoxes: while on one hand I can choose between, for example, follow these routes or stop typing and go to prepare a coffee (by the way, is a good idea, I'll be back) ...
... which would fuel the illusion that I own the destination, I could choose my life, for instance, when born, where to do, within which family. This is part of my story, which is just fate Running in a negative sense.
Tarot cards and free will
We can go further and ask how what we call? Free choice? is such as in the case of choosing between good and evil in my behavior. If I grew up in a context of family or social good examples where I have often seen in me or in other favorable consequences of honesty and straight drive, or else my childhood and adolescence were spent in a lumpen where bad habits , infidelity, lies were commonplace, with the concept of getting small, everyday benefits of each slip made with guile; can be so free then really my choice?.
Smiles rightly wrote, "many people do not transgress not by virtue but by the fear of being discovered?. I, long before even knowing that this gentleman was, once wrote:? Many people is good because it has the courage to be poor and risk the consequences.?
I, however, that the study of Esotericism, as in many other areas, sheds some light on this issue: there is both determinism and free will. There are things that we can choose, and others in which only qualify its effects. To describe graphically, my life is like a boat sailing on the River.
I can let myself be carried away by the current (perhaps quickly to their destination, perhaps against some rocks sticking out) or I can, by dint of rowing and perspiration, closer to shore to another anchor in the middle or rowing against the current. But this is the river of my life, and within it, and only him, I develop.
Horoscope and tarot are not the same
So, to paraphrase Schrödinger and his cat, I argue that the Tarot does not show the future, but where are the dominant trends consultant, which is the same as saying what needs to happen (pleasant or unpleasant) if he does nothing avoided.
The old example: a man, the night before flying from Washington to London, he dreams that his plane fell off shortly after and he dies. In the morning, scared, cancel your reservation. The plane takes off and lands. Everyone dies, except him, he stayed in his hotel.
Was there or was not determinism?. Depends on reading. There was not when we look at the fact that the dreamer did not die as his premonition seemed to indicate. Yes there was one? To others.
And it transforms into a formidable weapon Tarot to build our lives, not, as critics say (none of which, I believe, spent some time studying) a weak-minded entertainment anxious paternalistic guidance to help them overcome their anxiety about the unknown, no.
Because the Tarot as esoteric philosophy is, just interested if her husband gets the horns with the platinum blonde of the adjacent building, or if your boss smiles these days because secretly relishes the moment to announce that for now (and few years) their services are dispensable, or if your mother is the evil witch we all know.
These urgent needs of every day you are indifferent to a discipline to which all spiritual growth is significant. But as you will not have much mood to talk about spiritual things if you beat the rent and they are throwing into the street, or their children walk with a shoe that does not know how and why the soles paste to remain in place, The philosophy behind the Tarot is pragmatic: only by overcoming their obstacles everyday you have time? and willingness-to ask for the things of the spirit.
Karma tarot Throws
And if it's time (and given the conditions) do not, your problem, my friend, your karma will take due note. For a person to ignore the spiritual foundations of our everyday life, or choked by the anxieties of everyday life can not repair in these mechanisms, it is worthy of consideration and assistance.
But a person who, having had the opportunity, he despises (should perhaps have written for money?) Such matters, are entirely responsible for the consequences, and mourn the nearest church.
Therefore it is necessary to clarify the consultant that appear in the case of bad news, this is not necessarily what, or yes, has happened, but what has to happen if time is not necessary to prevent it.
And so, too, all interviews must deepen Tarot? Alternatives? or "situations hinge? put in the hands of the consultant to decide which road to take. For the Tarot is a light that warns us to stop before the next junction, because of the risk of an accident.
If we ignore the light and push the throttle just when a truck is approaching the crossing on our right and not see it, the responsibility for the consequences (guess what?) Is ours.
For the same reason, I believe that any bad news you see expressed in the symbols of the letters should be that the consultant then, if we do not itch, hand you remove the only chance we had to do something about it.
Finally, do not think the reason for an interview is to dazzle our Tarot consultant with our capabilities, the accuracy of our successes or how we are able to tell him what he already knew (a real waste of time and money I must say).
Much less, to avail ourselves of it to inspire a reverential attitude toward us in the consulting, advising what to do, when and how. We have developed to deepen our intuitive perceptions in a situation is not the same that we have extended our common sense to recommend what to do, especially when one discovers that a tip is what you would be in that circumstance, but it happens that one is not the consultant and is in its circumstances.
Yes, in all cases, expand their world view of the situation, enhance their assessment accessory information, help to distinguish the important from the urgent (because they are not looking) and, indirectly, to feed him the feeling that there are right ways being and doing things, even when everything seems to crumble around us.
How to read tarot help
If you discover how the Tarot helps you do this, do not you think that is perhaps more than they can promise the classified advertising mediums?.
A final comment has to do with the degree of expected hits. The Tarot is an art not a science, and less accurate. Depends on many (and uncertainties) factors: astrological, physical and mental health of? Feeling? with whom he comes to consultation, so we had dinner last night ...
The percentage of success must be high, but it is never total. Beware, then, those who promote themselves as infallible, nor be too cruel to his good tarotista ever missed a forecast, but that mistake will have cost you some pesos (or dollars, or whatever) in the query: meteorologists err again, and call them scientists.
And each year in each country, private or public funds are invested millions of dollars? Opinion polls? or? exit polls?, graphs and statistics that between forecast from an election result to the evolution macroreconómica ... with the same skill with which he then explain why their results were not fulfilled. And everybody's happy.
