Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.) has quoted scripture to deny that climate change will destroy the earth.  Based on his quoting  scripture, came the statement that started this week’s discussion, “God won’t let us destroy the world or ourselves.”   In other words he feels that God will intervene.  Many people totally disagree with him – they feel we are the breaks.  A third set of people truly don’t care.  Are there any brakes that…

Blogger’s note: I chose this topic because May is Mental Illness Month. Most people are unaware of the people around them that identify with the term Mental Illness. Around 25% of the adult population of the United States either have been, or show symptoms of Mental Illness. Mental Illness is not about bad life choices – in many cases heredity, exposure to drugs or alcohol in utero, or living in a family where abuse is generational (physical damage to the head or…

In my opinion, the best Facebook joke of the week was: 

Yes, this is the blog about “Facebook Is Evil.”   The Reading Room for this show included Patti Phare-Camp, Jean Maurie Puhlman, Ivy…

Blogger’s note:  One of my favorite things, even as a small child, was the encyclopedia.  I looked up everything; then I read the other articles on the same page!  40 years later when I got the software necessary to connect my computer to the internet and saw the Yahoo web page and what I could look up, I sat and cried.  I had found the ultimate encyclopedia – what I could learn about was totally up to me.  Day after day, I got up at 4 AM and stayed up way past…

At no time in recorded history have people been more connected.  We have networks that send information at the speed of light into smartphones, tablets, and computers.  The most popular tools on these networks encourage you to tell the world who you are, where you are, and what you believe.  Granted, this is a voluntary activity; you may choose to participate in a small way, or not at all.  However, the younger you are, the more you participate – it’s expected…

The requests were overwhelming  for this particular show – can we ask the cards why the Boston Marathon was bombed.  Actually, this request was not over this lone act; with all the radical noise about gun control on the heel of the tragedy at Sandyhook Elementary, many people have been asking for some kind of an answer to the unsettling state of our society.  We seem to be bouncing from one disaster or crisis to another; and people are weary.  The blame game and the…

Our scientific research goes along at a blinding pace.  The reason most of us aren’t aware of it is because it’s more about the money than a positive benefit for mankind.  Some companies abandon promising research because there is more money studying a different field.  Some companies sell technologies to their governments where they are swept into a cloak of darkness for future weapons (this is where a lot of conspiracy theories come from).  But it seems that the…

Since we have had so many new members on both the Tarot Guild Facebook page as well as professional members, I wanted to take a few minutes and explain a very interesting experiment that the Guild is involved in.

In 2011, many readers who jointly read…

When I started the research for this show, I expected to find some very interesting cutting-edge theories about what allowed people to live well beyond 100.  I knew that anthropologist and gerontologists had visited villages where a large number of people had extended lives, and I had hoped for a something exotic to talk about – something to make us think.  However, all of the articles and blogs I discovered focused on…

Gimme that old time religion,

Gimme that old time religion!

Gimme that old time religion,

It’s good enough for me…

Many people alive today have the experience of being born into a family that practices an organized religion.  Many people grow up and are happy; many grow up and fear everything because of that…

First of all, the most unexpected aspect of this U-Predict show was the number of reversed cards pulled by the Reading Room.  Reversals can be read a number of ways; reversals can be interpreted as the opposite meaning of an upright card, reversals can be thoughts or events happening under the nose of the client without their awareness, or reversals can represent underdeveloped ideas or events that the client needs to investigate further. Because we are talking…

Pull the world, you should have it!  But if the card is reversed, it means your missing out - big!  Are you too sure that you're going to have everything?  Are you too humble to realize how good you are?  If you can figure it out you can sync up your life.…

I have never seen the cards come to attention with a definitive answer so quickly.  We live in a society filled with self-absorbed people.  Total self-absorption is a personality disorder, Narcissism, diagnosed in the DSM-IV-TR – the authoritative source for mental and personality disorders.  Most of the people we deal with would not qualify for this level diagnosis and treatment; however, some of the traits of this disorder are obvious in society, and…

Blogger’s note – It was pointed out to me that some Tarot Guild members may have thought that I was commenting on the Guild or the tarot community as a whole when I mentioned weight.  If there was such an interpretation, please forgive; it was not intended to be such.  The idea of all the U-Predict shows is to look at the world in general.  Because we are part of it, our customers are part of it; many of our questions are about Western Civilization or “Pop…

You may be proud of your nurturing abilities; in fact, people may flock to you because of them.  Just remember that true friendship should be a two way street.  If you are always taking care of someone, or constantly sitting through a performance of their one-person dramas, then it's not a friendship.  If you want your life to be more carefree, help the helpless find a wider circle of friends to become dependent on...…

Sometimes hope is the only thing we have.  It is very easy to be discouraged if you focus on what is being said in the media.  Let's face it, bad news sells.  Turn everything off, shut down your computer.  Sit quietly and think about the good things in your life.  Think about how those good things will continue.  It is synchronicity that it has all come together and how it will stay together.  There, don't you feel better!…

Some of my listeners/readers probably think I have explained way too often the purpose of the study of synchronicities in Project Tarot.  However, sometimes something so over-the-top and unexpected happens that one has to ponder the implications of what we are doing and how this all fits together, yet again. 

So we began last Tuesday’s show.  The contributing Reading Room consisted of: Ivy Lieberman, Anita Perez, Sherry Retell Amature, Ramona0214, Jean Maurie Puhlman, Dax…

We all are creative, yes we are.  We just need to discover where our talent is.  Some dance, some sing, some write, all can inspire.  What makes your heart sing?  What creative thing can you do with that song?…

No one wants things to end - even those things you want to end.  We don't want to hurt people.  We don't want to go to the bother of leaving situations that no longer serve us.  But when every fiber in your body begins to scream "I want out", please listen.…

Beautiful full moon tonight.  Dream on it - do rituals under it, but do remember that it changes.  Just be sure that you know the facts and the people involved before you jump in.…
