Reading the Tarot Deck
The first time I had a Tarot card reading done, I was terrified. What would the cards say ?? Good or bad ?? Perhaps it was all just a hoax and a money-making scam ?? Perhaps there was nothing in it... Perhaps, there WAS ?? If the cards told me something, would those events now be fixed into my future ?? I had so many questions and fears, particularly since I had been brought up in the church. I thought that some form of evil would come and take me over, as punishment. It took me a long time to get up the courage to have a reading done.
I think the first reading I ever had was in around 1990-91. I had new flatmates, Heather and David during that year in Dunedin, NZ. Heather read the Tarot and she did a reading for me (thank you hun all these years later). My fears quickly dissipated. In fact, Heather loaned me a spare set of cards she owned and I spent many hours over the next 6 months poring over the symbols, the patterns and sequences. I discovered how different every reading could be... even if the same cards came to me for successive readings. The positions in which the cards fell would completely change the narrative.

I discovered that the Tarot is simply a mirror... A mirror of the heart. When I get up in the morning and look in the mirror, I look quite different an hour later after a shower and a cup of tea... Completely different in fact !! This is very much the same as the Tarot. The cards will simply reflect to you Who You Are in that moment.
I have made quite an exploration into the quantum field (zero point field) of physics since 2008. I'm no physicist, but I now understand how the "observation problem" so hugely affects our experiences. Our thoughts, desires, wishes, wants, fears, all directly affect "the field of possibility" that's available to us (super-positioning). We are cosmic energy bodies "trapped in a skin balloon like a butterfly trapped in a net". If WE decide to let the net dissolve...WOW !! The net only exists because something within us has told our own minds that limitation exists. When we tell our minds that there is NO limitation we find within ourselves the ability to Fly Free again, unbound-ed. We have believed Mind, but now we are realising that mind is our servant - Eckhart Tolle.
"The Watcher" or "observer" is the game-master... our higher 'second self'. It is this second self who directs the cards of the Tarot deck through the quantum field vibrations, long before we even come to the deck... In fact, in this very moment of you considering to have a reading done, the vibration from your Heart - your higher self, is already being sent out towards me. The Watcher (who is the external observer of Self, ie: we are "self-aware") wants to let you know Who You Are, what the lessons are that you can be learning from right now and what choices you may have available. In short:
Tarot is an education tool that lets us In to the multi-verse worlds that our resistant Mind in its "normalised state" won't allow us to see. It is this "Watcher" (ie: the same observer who sits within us in meditation), our "Higher Being" who guides and protects us every step of the way. All we need to do is stop and listen. Meditation is a gateway in. So is certain music, certain substances, sex, childbirth, dream, near-death experience... Tarot is a very "soft" gateway In, compared to some of these, and easily accessible. It speaks to us in clear images for our education and will always direct us back to the Heart, YOUR OWN Heart, who wants so desperately to speak in words you can really hear and receive. Blessings all. Blessed be.
