Not Even a Prediction

Gonna be a weirdo for the next week or so.

I have decided that I am going to take a hard look at Tarot/Qabala this year coming up and I am going to spend time here for the next couple of weeks just talking about what I am learning as I go.  

I am considering joining up with an organization which specializes in this kind of thing, but I am a little leery of that right now as most of them swear you to double-ultra secret pinky swear that you won’t blab what you learn there.  I’ll keep you up to date on that front as I go.  

So tomorrow, when I wake up, I will go and shuffle my deck and draw the five cards.  I will lay them out and take a picture on the big template (see previous post) and lay out the plan for the way I propose to interpret what the cards tell me.

Now, I am telling you that I am suspicious of the idea that a “skilled” operator can look at the cards and with a gestalten flicker, tell you what is going on.  Just doubt that it works that way. 

Instead, my approach will be to work through the process a day at a time, examining the interrelationships.  Since I am old and not in a hurry, this will take as long as it takes and I’ll keep you up to date.

The question that I will think about and “meditate” on is simple.

“What should be my focus for the year ahead (2023)?”

...that curious martial arts club, huh?!

Anyway, I'm very curious about this project because I have been wondering for ages if that "gestalt-flicker" recognition of a layout comes from those famous 1000h+ being immersed in the imagery. Reminds me of a guy my SO has met in early adulthood, who could very early tell what kind of things they were breeding in the petri-dishes stemming from patient-samples

Anyways, curious but if there is nothing you can tell, there's nothing you can tell.

I don't know. It is definitely a different way of thinking.

Maybe there is something to it, but right now I am well short of the requisite 1000 hours and my memory of things is no one is really all that smart and intuition isn't always right.
