Tarot can actually help you to see the spiritual in the mundane. And it can help you apply spiritual principles in everyday life.
I think it's just human nature, and can SO relate. But I've done it to the Nth degree: for 25 years I've put it aside, tarot and spirituality in general, and I don't feel like I ever really learned the best parts, ever really studied or read enough to get deep enough to actually experience them.For the last while I have to admit I have been busy enough to not sit down and pursue our shared discipline.
I don't know if it makes me a fair weather tarot reader or its just part and parcel of human nature.
...
Would anyone like to share their opinions / experiences please.
Thanks,
Jim
That probably has something to do with it for some. I'm sure it makes it easier to believe we don't need any spirituality, and surely makes it easier to ignore it when there are so many Facebook notifications to look at, emails to answer, and cat videos to watch. For others, and I lump myself into this category, it's probably just being too wrapped up in mundane life, too busy with what's presenting itself at the moment as so important, and letting that hide what's *really* important, what's deeper down inside you. For me, and maybe for others, what's deeper down is painful to look at too closely, so the desire to put off looking at it 'til later is strong. I think that helped me avoid tarot - didn't want it to point out these things I was trying to ignore, didn't want it to make me face them.Often we ignore the spiritual - which I believe the tarot is part of - until we have something that scares us or makes us pause and think and maybe pay attention to the spiritual for a while.
Maybe it has to do with us living is a technological age where we tend to have such great confidence in the power of man and therefore our selves . . .
Thanks and no oops required LOL!!That's just human Jim.
