Henry Lopez10 said:Tarot is honestly just a gimmick for people who cling to the idea that their lives are prewritten scripts waiting to be read in a deck of cards. What a joke... it has absolutely nothing to do with actual spirituality; it’s just a desperate grab for certainty fueled by pure superstition.
The cards don't predict anything; they just act as a mirror for the deepest cravings, desires, and delusions of whoever is shuffling them. That’s it. Since character is destiny, it’s incredibly easy to make those kinds of "predictions."
🙂

Oh, brilliant!
Look, if someone possesses a strong personality—real character—and they make a firm decision and actually stick to it, success isn't just likely; it's inevitable. In other words, their future is practically set. But if they have a weak character, if they're indecisive, or even if they *do* decide but lack the grit to follow through? They get zero results—which means, again, no defined future.

For example: If the first person sets out on the road to Rome, they’ll probably actually make it to Rome. For the second person, however, it’s just a long, aimless wander through the wilderness—a state of constant hesitation. Why? It all comes down to their character.

The more internal light a person carries, the clearer they become—either to themselves or through some sort of "living" spiritual guidance.
And the brighter that light shines, the more clarity they provide to those around them.
That radiance emanates from within, illuminating (and influencing) everything in their orbit.
They see the path more clearly and navigate it with much more ease. (Ultimately, the spirit and the intensity of one's inner light define their boundaries.)
(You are the light of the world! ...)

But, should they allow that inner light to dim, they fall into a double darkness—becoming, essentially, a "living" ghost.
(Whatever remains alive within you is yours, and it will stay that way forever!)

wearyowl29 said:Let's just say the world and I aren't exactly on speaking terms.

Whether it's secret or public—it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, a person makes their own choices and decides their own fate.
(And according to our faith, that's how we'll be judged.)

Matthew Ruiz8 said:I agree with sap, the OP. In a broad sense, this is all about spirituality because we’re all connected to space. But looking at this section, it feels like it's strictly focused on individual spirituality.

Predicting the future through things like tarot or beans is honestly ridiculous to me. The future doesn't actually exist. There are just different paths that can unfold, and sometimes they intersect with our own choices and free will, creating entirely new directions.

On the flip side, tarot or anything else could work if you view it as chance. It’s a way to use concentration and willpower to channel your energy into an object, which then points out what is likely to happen.

I hope that last part made sense. It might sound a bit complex, but I stand by it.

Best,

Road signs—assuming they’re actually correct, placed in the right spots, and convey information that anyone can actually make sense of—are incredibly useful for a traveler. They provide much-needed guidance along the way, specifically by warning you about what's coming up ahead.

But can someone who hasn't actually walked the path themselves really claim to know the route? Can they offer advice, set up signposts, or explain the journey to others? (Know thyself.)

Revealing the future through some special method to someone who isn't prepared is generally a bad idea. It does more harm than good. Besides, "the future" as such doesn't even exist; it is governed by the free human spirit (willpower).
Everyone's first task is to develop or awaken that spirit within themselves. (Only then will He lead them into all the truth!)

So, to put it "very simply":
The one who is on the right path (mastering their body, cleansing their soul, and awakening their spirit) has a future, while the one who isn't, simply does not.

Brilliant—I’m nominating you for Educator of the Year!

Thanks, but no thanks.
Keep that free spirit of yours alive, but don't let the world lull you into a stupor—you wouldn't want to fall asleep at the wheel, would you?

blueraven6 said:That makes sense, I suppose, but why do I feel like she hit on things over the phone that she couldn't have known? I didn't tell her anything besides my name and birthday.

Well, if she knows how to use the key and the open door you've provided—namely, your data and your increasingly generous goodwill—then nothing is too easy for her. The higher you climb, or the deeper you venture, the more clearly everything comes into view, doesn't it?

Guard your willpower! Be careful; don't just hand it out to anyone who asks.

Seek first the heavenly kingdom, and everything else will fall into place.

wearyowl29 said:I should have known things wouldn't be moving forward without a mention of hell...😲

Fire might be too much for an immature soul to handle—but for those who have truly come of age? It’s exactly what we need.

blueraven6 said:I'm curious about how tarot actually works, if it even does. A few years back, I called a reading service, gave them my name and birth date, and then told them to stop shuffling. This person started telling me things about myself. They "hit" on details they had absolutely no way of knowing. I hadn't said a word, and unlike some astrologers, they weren't fishing for info. They just knew.

How is that possible? 😁 I don't really get the mechanism behind it.

You’re the one playing tarot; those images are nothing more than mirrors—there's no such thing as coincidence!
The logic is simple, really—the better you get at understanding your own internal wiring, the easier it becomes to decode everyone else. It’s all connected, isn't it?
The logic is pretty straightforward—the more you master your body, cleanse your soul, and awaken your spirit, the more clarity you gain. It’s simple, really: greater self-mastery equals greater insight. Or am I overthinking it?

If she didn't pull this off solo, then she definitely had some help from her crew.
You get exactly what you pay for when it comes to help—it’s a simple equation, really. If you want top-tier talent, don't expect to find them working for peanuts.

Only within the truth can one find the truth.

wearyowl29 said:Heavenly circus😂

I suppose you could look at it that way. Then again, everything depends entirely on the perspective of the observer, doesn't it?

There isn't exactly a circus up in the heavens.

But in other realms, there are people—performers, if you will—who spend their lives trapped in a circus of their own making.
And when we use the word "circus," we can pretty much mean whatever we want, right?
For these performers, those little spectacles are essentially just their own private versions of hell.

wearyowl29 said:But what about the caterpillar???

Egg – Caterpillar – Chrysalis – Butterfly … Man – God!

Natural — … — Heavenly!

The cycle of life.

wearyowl29 said:Honestly, this has absolutely nothing to do with the butterfly...😢

Of course it does—though I suppose that depends entirely on how you interpret things.

Kids love playing with butterflies; in a way, they are just like them.
Except, you know, they're missing the wings.

wearyowl29 said:So you aren't even dreaming about being a butterfly???

Wonderful—so you're familiar with the tarot card (spirituality), I see. Now, why don't you just try being the image itself?

The reason:

"Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for theirs is the heavenly kingdom."

Truly, He said, unless one receives the kingdom of God like a child, they will absolutely—under no circumstances—ever enter it.

Otherwise, if you don't, the road can be incredibly long, and the destination? Well, that’s distant and questionable at best.
It’s all too easy to lose your way and wander aimlessly for what feels like an eternity.

wearyowl29 said:So, the devil speaks through the throat... talk about a "deep throat" situation, huh?😂

The throat is merely the instrument used to carry the message; it isn't the music itself.

What I was at the beginning—well, that’s exactly what I remain at the end.
Is there anything quite as predictable as the musician who insists on clinging to that one "vintage" instrument? You know the type—the ones who act like their beat-up, decades-old gear is some kind of sacred relic, rather than just an old piece of equipment that’s seen better days.
But let’s be real—my music sounds nothing like it did when I first started.

I’ve finally brought everything back into alignment with the Universe—
Now, I’ve reached that point where I don't even dream about being awake anymore—it's all just one long, surreal fever dream.
Some people say they’re just "dreaming"... Well, I know I am.

One comes from the "heart," while the other comes from the "throat."

To put it more bluntly—one is divine, the other is hellish.

Here’s the breakdown: True joy celebrates someone else's progress and well-being. Laughter, however, usually targets someone else's flaws. Now, don't get me wrong—humor can be useful sometimes, but strictly in a masculine setting! (And I mean that purely as a way to point out a buddy's stupidity so he might actually learn from it and change. When it comes to women, you achieve that same goal through seriousness—never by laughing at them.)

Therefore, prayer and laughter don't really go hand-in-hand; prayer requires gravity—even penitence.
Because when we pray, we are petitioning—we are pleading.

Spirituality and humor? Sure, they work together.

But let's be clear: we are free spirits, capable of doing whatever we please.
The catch is, we own every single thing we do.

wearyowl29 said:Anyone who truly knows their Tarot understands that fortune-telling is just a commercial byproduct. The real meat of it is understanding where we currently stand regarding the things we care about. It gives us a snapshot of our situation, explains why things happened the way they did, and points out what needs our attention right now. Predicting stuff like "this will happen to you tomorrow" is totally unnecessary. There are so many moving parts in our reality that a smart person won't go looking for a fixed destiny in the cards.

Wait, the Kingdom of God—what does that even have to do with Tarot???

What is spirituality (or Tarot, for that matter) without a destination? Without a home—the heavenly kingdom, our inner Self, the Lord?
It’s just aimless wandering through an endless wasteland.

Isn't it much more elegant—and frankly, easier—when you actually recognize the stairs? You know, those specific steps that are guaranteed to lead you to your goal?
Absolutely. (Think of it this way: the Major Arcana are essentially visual snapshots from the Book of Revelation)

Doesn't a misunderstanding lead you down the wrong path?
Of course it does! (And for every misunderstanding out there, there's a corresponding wrong turn.)

Here’s a little something regarding the Ancient Egyptian school: It was one of their many traditions. They used obelisks and pyramids—and yes, even their names held specific meanings.

A student would approach them and state his serious intention with a question: “O-belo-iska” (O equals Me; belo equals white, pure, light, wisdom; iska equals I seek)! Roughly translated: "I am seeking wisdom!"

Then, at the entrance of the pyramid, he would make his plea: “Pira-mi-daj?” (Pira equals fire, light; mi equals me; daj equals give)! Which essentially means: "Please, grant me the Light!" Or better yet, "Enlighten me!"

And then—presto!—he’s tossed inside the absolute darkness of the pyramid, the doors slam shut, and he’s left to figure it out on his own.

Heh, heh, heh! And if—by some miracle—he actually makes it out, he’s certainly been enlightened from within. He's become spiritualized.

Because of the sheer influx of students coming from all over the world, they eventually built the Sphinx. They used it as a sort of gatekeeper—something akin to our modern-day Ivy League entrance exams. She would "swallow" anyone who failed to answer her riddle; they failed the test and were sent back to where they came from, secretly (and alive).

If she truly understood the internal—spiritually speaking—landscape of the heart or the brain, she’d finally grasp why Tarot imagery exists and what its actual purpose is.

A little context here:
The Tarot serves as a visual map of the entire spiritual journey and the various stages of evolution along that path.
Historically, these images functioned much like an enlightenment curriculum within the pyramids of the Ancient Egyptian school—or perhaps something akin to the training grounds for prophets among the Jews.

Clairvoyance is simply one trait of an enlightened individual, mainly because the future has been unveiled to them.

However, mere fortune-telling is a dangerous "game" played with human free will—which, frankly, ought to remain untouched. The level of danger depends entirely on the practitioner (specifically, their own spiritual maturity or lack thereof). If the person receiving the reading isn't mature enough to handle a "revealed" future, then not only is it harmful to them, it's actually pointless. Why? Because certain futures don't even exist yet; they are left entirely to human free will. And that is exactly what the practitioner is playing with—whether consciously or not.

Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all these other things will be added to you naturally!

Jeremy Alvarez5 said:Does anyone know if there are any actual visual representations out there? I mean, like graphic designs, musical scores, or even just examples in mainstream art where you can really spot these relationships acting as major or minor components within a composition?

I guess you could kind of look at it all as a sort of pressure, right? Like, maybe everything just boils down to some kind of internal or external tension building up over time. I don't know, it's just a thought.



So, I was falling down a bit of a rabbit hole online earlier—you know how it goes—and ended up reading all about blood pressure. It’s one of those things we all hear about constantly, like something you just check at the doctor's office during an annual physical, but when you actually dig into the mechanics of it, it’s kind of wild. Basically, it’s just the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. It sounds pretty straightforward, right? But there’s that whole distinction between systolic and diastolic pressure that always trips me up. The systolic is that top number—the peak pressure when your heart actually beats—and the diastolic is the lower one, which is the pressure while your heart is resting between beats. I guess you could think of it like water moving through a garden hose; if the pressure is too high, you might worry about the hose bursting, which is a pretty decent analogy for what happens to our vessels if things get out of whack. The scary part is that high blood pressure, or hypertension, is often called a "silent killer." That’s a heavy term, but I suppose it makes sense because you can feel totally fine even when your numbers are climbing. It’s easy to ignore until it starts causing real issues with your heart or your kidneys. There’s a ton of stuff you can do to keep things steady, though. Most doctors will tell you it's about the lifestyle grind: cutting back on the salt (which is hard, let's be real), staying active, and maybe managing stress. I’ve heard people talk about how much diet matters, too—like sticking to things similar to the DASH diet here in the States. Anyway, I don't mean to ramble on about medical stuff, but it's one of those things that feels important to wrap your head around. Just something to keep in the back of your mind, I guess. Stay healthy out there!

And then there’s those feelings, I guess... the emotions or whatever states of mind that just sort of tag along with him.

Just grab a neuro programmer software package. You can find more details there and test things out immediately—plus, it offers a decent amount of freedom. For anything else, you'll have to go hunting on the internet.

Remember, you're a free spirit, so you can experiment with just about anything; the possibilities are endless (unless you count laws, time, and resources as limitations!). But first, experience it personally so you actually have something to compare it to.

Absolutely, shifts in consciousness affect blood pressure. Likewise, if something surfaces from within while "listening," it can cause your pressure to spike or drop. Of course, that’s tied directly to the subject's emotional state.

Understanding this really depends on your background—your prior knowledge in the necessary fields, or better yet, whatever area happens to interest you. If the foundation is solid, the house of understanding will be much sturdier.

And if you're the believing type, you can always call upon the gentleman's help.

Good luck hunting for info, "little one"!

Kyle Lee7 said:Speaking from my own experience as a client, I can say I’ve been really happy with the results. Every session leaves me feeling great, and I’ve noticed tangible shifts in my life, specifically in my career and how I interact with people. A big part of that for me is the level of trust I have in my practitioner; they are a fully certified therapist, and I’ve known them for quite a while through their other professional work.
The actual process starts with the client doing some groundwork—answering a specific series of questions designed to pinpoint the core of the issue. After that, the therapist takes over to handle what’s called mental program deactivation.
Since I’ve also been seeing a doctor for traditional psychotherapy on a regular basis for a few years now, I can definitely spot the similarities in that initial phase. However, there is a major difference in pacing. In standard psychotherapy, you’re encouraged to express yourself at your own speed. With Theta, it’s more like fast-forwarding; the therapist asks very direct questions and digs straight into the material you bring to the table. You often end up uncovering more in a single hour of Theta than you might in several months of traditional therapy.

I tend to go for Theta sessions occasionally when I feel the need or want to tackle something very specific. On the other hand, I view my traditional psychotherapy as a way to do deep, thorough soul-searching and fundamental self-improvement.

Honestly, it’s pretty funny reading comments where someone says, "This is just selling smoke," only to have someone else reply, "I agree, though it's my first time hearing about it." It’s actually quite cute.😛

Thanks for sharing your experience and broadening our horizons.

I find it funny too. And I'm glad you think it's "precious," because I have quite a sweet tooth myself.
Sweetness is usually tied to love, isn't it? That's why every living thing craves sugar. Unfortunately, low-quality sugar—and far too much of it—does more harm than good.

Maybe you actually like this "branded smoke and mirrors" approach, or perhaps it’s just useful to you right now—which is perfectly fine by me. We kids love playing with all sorts of toys; some mean the world to one person, they're worth something to another, and a third person won't even give them a second glance. It goes without saying: wherever a person's love lies, there their heart is. They chase after that, and that's what they enjoy.

If you decide to make this a regular habit, try to "memorize" those waves—learn how to tap into them whenever you need them in your daily life. That way, you can shift into that state at will.

Then there’s the matter of how we project an image onto someone—what most people call being "in love."
When that fades, it feels like waking up from a dream.
(Usually leaving us startled and disappointed because reality just doesn't match that rose-colored fantasy we built up.)
Real love? It lasts. If it’s pure and selfless, it’s eternal.
The more you truly get to know someone, the more your love for them can grow. Or, if we’re using fire as our metaphor, it can truly catch flame.
I’m offering you an opportunity (for yourself and everyone else here)—some information that might help you—if you're interested—get to know the Lord more deeply. It could make your prayers, petitions, or even your thanks much more impactful.

To start, I recommend Jesus's childhood as described by Jakob Lorber.
Start with the little one; it’s a much easier way to begin!

Terry Garcia3 said:... Aha! So, what you're saying is I should start with my prayers—you know, the classic Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father—then dive into the meditation technique, and finally wrap it all up by giving thanks to the Lord if I’ve understood everything correctly!?!🙂🙄

You’ve grasped the point, sure—but let’s keep one thing in mind here: you aren't dealing with some common fool. You are dealing with an all-knowing Gentleman, and this kind of mindless babbling is far from appropriate. In fact, it's downright insulting to Him—and I say that in the plainest terms possible!

I experience it through my heart—through a profound sense of love for him as a truly genuine and perfect man.
Side note: Is it actually possible to love someone you don't truly know?
If you’re absolutely hell-bent on praying—and I’m not saying you should—I’d suggest sticking strictly to the prayer He actually taught us: the Lord's Prayer. Why overcomplicate things?

I was going to suggest something a bit more straightforward—just ask Him to watch over you while you listen, and maintain an absolute, unwavering certainty that He actually is. If you can master that level of conviction in other areas of your life, you’ll eventually start sensing His presence and reality quite clearly. Just take it one step at a time. Because, let's face it, when you're listening, those unresolved human impulses tend to bubble up to the surface—but now? Now, thanks to your prayers and petitions delivered right into the lap of your almighty Father (among others!), you're covered. Ha!

(Week two.)

"Yeah! Our experiences are exactly what lead us straight to enlightenment!"
Jesus, that gentleman.

bluemason3 said:Nah, let's be real—it's just another way to tax the gullible under the guise of "healing."😳😁

It’s funny—but actually quite true—to hear about this healing technique. I have to admit, it's my first time even coming across it.

Terry Garcia3 said:Wow, thanks for the heads up! 🙂 You can actually find those delta and alpha meditations over on the indigo world site 🙂—the music is seriously soothing. 🙂
But wait, what do you mean when you say "I DON'T RECOMMEND IT WITHOUT A GENTLEMAN???"

To put it simply—and I’ll keep this brief—everything tastes just a little bit better when you have a gentleman's blessing to go with it!
Dear Lord, please guide my hand and my thoughts as I write this— I’ve been sitting here thinking about how we approach these things, and honestly, isn't it funny how we often wait until everything is falling apart before we even bother to look up? We spend so much time rushing through life—chasing the next big thing, checking off boxes like we're running a marathon with no finish line—that we forget to actually pause. To just... be. It makes you wonder, doesn't it? Are we really living, or are we just reacting to the chaos around us? There’s a certain rhythm to existence that we tend to ignore once the noise gets too loud. But maybe that's the point—to find that stillness even when the world feels like it's spinning out of control. Anyway, I just wanted to share that thought. It's been weighing on me lately. Thank you, Lord, for the strength to find clarity amidst the noise.
You could just as easily toss that "recipe" into just about any other situation—it’s not exactly limited to one specific scenario, is it?

If we’re talking about brainwave frequencies, then you can actually layer them for better results:

Use Alpha and Theta for reprogramming (healing purposes), while bringing in Delta for rapid physical recovery and cellular regeneration.

To pull this off, you'll need: A neuro programmer (either a dedicated device or a computer running similar software), some decent headphones, and—optionally—glasses (though a high-quality monitor can sometimes do the job).
Just find a comfortable spot, pop on your gear, hit play, and let yourself "surf" those waves...

Beta waves (12 Hz – 38 Hz) represent a fully awake, alert mental state—basically where most people spend their lives. It's the realm of concentration.
(Including SMR (12 Hz – 15 Hz), Beta 1 (15 Hz – 20 Hz), and Beta 2 (20 Hz – 38 Hz)).

Alpha waves (8 Hz – 12 Hz) offer a deeply relaxed state of wakefulness without the constant processing of external information. Think imagination and visualization.

Theta waves (3 Hz – 8 Hz) correspond to light sleep and extreme relaxation. Theta is famously known as a hyper-suggestible state—perfect for mental reprogramming using previously recorded suggestions. (Essentially, deep meditation.)
(Specifically Theta 1 (3 Hz – 5 Hz) and Theta 2 (5 Hz – 8 Hz)).

Delta waves (0.2 Hz – 3 Hz) are all about depth—dreamless sleep and the body's natural ability to heal itself. ("Deep Meditation.")

But honestly? I wouldn't recommend doing any of this without a gentleman's guidance!
