I agree. What I find a little awkward though is that sometimes we get into conflicts over differing perspectives when in actuality we are all coming from an imaginary narrative....our own. There is something kind of strange in that for me, and I'm just wondering if anyone else felt it.
Hi Ruby, for me it's just everyone's different personal intuition. Because it's personal, sometimes people take it personally but we don't need to take it personally at all, because there is never an absolute right or absolute wrong. Nothing is black or white. What is right for me can be wrong for another person. That is the wonder of this forum, it's diversity. Do you think that because mostly the readings are for ourselves there is sometimes a personal wish to see a favoured outcome and when that doesn't happen our egos suffer? We want to see the sun card all the time! That is just not life. This forum with its different opinions and perspectives can really help move us out of our own egos and see the objective picture, i try to do that anyway. We are all learners. The idea is - it's a learning forum so we don't need to take anything personally at all.
I like UTC especially because the whole spread is hidden so we never see the whole story. It's good training i find, in letting the cards speak for themselves and it really highlights to me where my personal bias is. It's the diversity of viewpoints and perspectives that makes it so special. Without knowing background it's really easy to have an imaginary one sneak in without realising! Every post comes from a different POV from around the world - which is coloured by the posters culture, childhood, beliefs and values system and so on. We think we are being objective but we never can be because of our lives to date- we can't help it, in my opinion. I find that Practising without background is really useful for me - it helps me remove my readers bias (rose coloured spectacles!) so I can try and learn to be more intuitive (well, try anyway!
