5 Facts You MUST Understand if You Are Ever Going to Lose Your Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs

What I was trying to suggest is that there’s something going on during these sessions with the Oracle that stands outside the person manipulating the media, and also ~stands outside the meaning-matrix that the oracle represents with its signs and symbols~. In other words, there’s a third presence there, outside the ego of the operator and outside the model which animates the oracle.

I had this suspicion when I was actively reading cards and charts for my daily bread, but its even more clear now that my writings have been delivering Tarot readings on the internet for a decade. Even if the cards are saying the very same thing to a hundred different people, not one of those people will get the same spread as any other. In other words, for the Oracle to say the same thing to me as they did to Kier in this spread (or any spread), it would have to use different cards!

Even with set and standard values, a defined number of movable units, a pre-determined pattern of use and all the other constraints of the Oracle’s paradigm in place, the Oracle is always rewriting itself for the new occasion. And where does this ‘rewriting’ take place? In our own unique body/mind bubble, at the moment of communion, between the time when the question is still in formation, and the time when the cards (dice, runes, etc.) show themselves. A mere blink of an eye, and yet an eternity…

Now if that isn’t magic, my friends, what is?

So interesting how many levels of this topic there are. First of all, there’s the oracular media themselves — astrological glyphs and the reality they point to, in the heavens, on the dice or on the cards. Then there’s the human activator of the oracle(s), in this case Kier. You bring your unique constellation of energies into the matrix already defined by the media, pushing the tool to move from “field” state to “particle” state in answer to your question. Then there is the augury which results — the actual ’speech’ of the Oracle, exemplified by the cards you turned up. Then finally there is your own reaction to the oracle’s utterance, which includes drawing a relationship to yet another level of information — your birthchart.

The fascinating part of all of this is the way the observing consciousness “bends” the incoming information without realizing it. As you say above “… the question has to do with… Astrology, which is my life’s work, and of course the Pisces sign is the most appropriate for a positive answer…”

Hmmmm, speaking as an oracle interpreter myself, it is your job to perceive ~whatever~ comes up in that position as “the most appropriate for this answer”, no matter what. Your mind would have made sense of anything that fell there, because you have that kind of flexible, muli-associational mind already, by virtue of being a interpreter of oracles. In other words, you are primed to see meaning there. You would not have failed to find meaning, no matter what cards came up!

But beyond that, let’s note the internal language that each of us has created to hold these “baskets of associations” connected with the media in hand — a vast assemblage of ancient and modern associations attributed to the words Pisces; North Node ; Tenth House. Taking the outsider’s view, and being an astrologer too, I might juggle my associations around a little differently, to surmise that Aquarius “should” have been “the most appropriate for this answer” (from my personal sense of what these signs symbolize, and because my North Node is in Aquarius).

Nevertheless, my sense of meaning in this case has no bearing on the experience as it was lived by Kier. The answer the Oracle gave was perfectly adjusted to meet YOU in your own sense of meaning, giving you exactly the impression necessary for you to have that “aha” at the moment of the reading. Nothing could have been more perfect FOR YOU than that the reference was to Pisces in that spread.

This puts us in touch with the reality that the moment of Kier’s reading, and the occupant(s) of the bubble of consciousness encompassing Kier’s reading, manifest a “reality” or “zone” unique to that time/space. It’s a self-compete, unassailable universe unbroken by considerations outside Kier and his astro-cards. One human, one set of symbols, one moment…. and a universe of possible directions for awakening, all unleashed in the presence of three little flash-cards. Such is the power of the moment in a mind cultivated for communication with the invisibles!

I do not intend to imply that I am more “objective” than Kier is! This slight “bias” we each have is part of our human energetic signature. We can’t get away from it any more than we can our shadow or our personal smell. Part of the work of a reader is to become increasingly aware of that bias, not to try to eliminate it, but to be able to read through it like we do the lenses of our glasses, using it to bring the issues before us to the specific focus that is our own unique POV.

Ultimately we are left with the question, how did the cards “know” to do that? For that matter, when I throw cards and then follow their formal sign/house/planet/degree correspondences onto my birthchart, how do the cards manage to pick out the most pressing transit of the day so unerringly? So often I think — there has to be consciousness directing these cards! Otherwise how can they so perfectly skewer me like that?!

Ultimately there is no objectivity. Only cultivated subjectivity. Our challenge is to become ever more increasingly subtle, and sensitive, and self-aware. Under our own microscope, so to speak. Once we learn the significance of our own reactions to our oracles, then we can begin to translate them for others as well.

I will give you my birth date & time & if you can shed any light perhaps to my personal transits or what is to be my direction. I know that sounds vauge but this time in my life feels like somehow both the dark night of the soul or it’s greatest awakening. I’m sure I am in the good company of many a kindred soul, as we are all one. I could use a search light to cut through the mists.
I would be honored for you to look at my web site view the art I am inspired to co-create.

I have always believed that if women truly knew and understood the impact they have, and the power they have as a mother, then maybe they would do a better job of parenting. I know that my own mother had a deep and powerful enfluence on me. It was from her that I learned how to put myself on the back burner so to speak, when it came to taking care of my children. My mother said that the childs first teacher is the mother, so you need to learn as muchas you can about everything. I learned about sacrifice, and the need to set an example that is positive and strong from my mother. My belief in prayer and the spiritual all came from the trachings and example of my mother. I never liked it when I displeased my mother.

With the power and enfluence a mother has, just think what can be accomplished, if women knew and understood, practiced and taught the Holistic approach to their children.
