Why not try using the Tarot cards and other esoteric symbol systems to help you to focus your intuition, and to make it work for you?
If our conscious mind makes up 10% of our mental abilities, our subconscious makes up the other 90%. Our subconscious is also the gate to the collective unconscious. The Buddha says that we live in a mental world, and the physicist is saying the same thing.
So if our total mind contains such wonders, how do you get in touch with the whole thing? How can you communicate with the other 90% of you which is normally closed off to you?
You use the Tarot, or a similar symbol system, through which to focus your intuition. This is not complex or difficult. Forget anything you may have heard about developing ‘psychic’ powers. You’re not developing any supernatural ability at all. You’re simply bringing your true knowledge into awareness.
Think of yourself of two people. There’s you, and your subconscious mind, whom we’ll call Fred. In the movie Drop Dead Fred, the Fred who caused such havoc was an aspect of the heroine’s subconscious mind.
You have your own “Fred”. Your Fred knows and understands much more than you do, but he has no way of communicating with you, other than through emotions, memories and symbols.
For example, let’s say you get to work this morning, and a memory pops into your mind. The memory involves a trick you played on an old girlfriend, twenty years ago. Being slightly more mature now than you were when you were seventeen, the memory makes you squirm.
Beyond the embarrassment, wrapped around the memory is a feeling of vague discomfort, a tightening in your stomach muscles. You couldn’t call this mix of emotions real anxiety, but it’s close. At ten o’clock you’re due to sign a contract with a new supplier. You don’t connect the memory of the old girlfriend and the trick you played on her with the signing. Six months later, when it turns out that the plastic conduit the supplier sold you was shoddy, costing your company big bucks, you still don’t make the connection.
Tarot helps you to focus your intuition, and to make connections.
