Single Draw When Cards Repeat

On occasion I do single card draws and continue my inquiries following each interpretation for clarity.troubled-heart

This recent draw is evident that something I experienced a while back (repeating msgs) still happens but can be clarified if the intent of the querent is determined to hear what’s being given.

In the past 20 years, I’ve been involved in self-help group-help meetings and programs for various personal issues. From dealing with parental anguish of alcoholism to my own substance abuse. Just so we’re clear I’ve been clean & sober or whatever you wanna call it for over 20 yrs. But life issues and family dynamics continue to be ongoing lessons in this entities current soul journey.  So, I still go. Not as often but I have my commitments I tend to.

During this time I’ve come across many in the industry of self-help self-growth who have achieved closure to their family dynamics. While 99% of these (closure) occurances happened to those whom their antagonist had passed away, mine is still alive and for now very active in my living circumstance.

It’s easier to deal with your troubled, toxic relationships when the time of exposure is on your terms, limited in occurrence, and you’re given appropriate time to build your required boundaries. Most women and some men I know, know what this is like, to NOT be able to control when and where these in-your-face events will happen. After all family IS family.

Before I got into Tarot I was gifted by my last wife with a set of Rune oracle casting stones. This after I showed some interest in oracles as I was casting draws in I-Ching. The runes became a cherished path for my intuitive growth allowing me to be in touch with my subconscious.

Of course we want to engage questions that pertain to the future, divination.fortuneteller

I’m not sure I have this touch. I am confident in my seeing as to what is and what has been. But as for seeing into the future? It may be that I fully understand that, within this dimension or [paradigm] there are multiple forks based on mans Free-Will to choose, based on his or her experience. Leaving the future open to the possibilities of what-will-be’s can-be’s or to-be’s… but it’s never written in stone.

As one very interesting character told me, as he questioned my senses as to what he was wearing, the color of his skin and other tests of my seeing (of which I’ll just add) my abilities aren’t parlor tricks to be used on a whim. For me they don’t work that way. If I’m in state, it’s more because I’m allowed to see, rather than the ability to see on command. Don’t know why, maybe my initiation has not come to fruition, maybe this is how its given to me. But after the questioning test, he told me the best I can do was guess at what I’m getting.

To my answers, he didn’t flat out deny them, but almost burst with my accuracy, had it not been for his station as a disciplined master warrior cast, I think things would have gotten a bit giddy.

But I’m being tangent minded, so let me digress. While casting for I-Ching or the Runes, I was constantly drawing the same stones or anagrams over and over again. With the same similar messages… Prayer, Meditation, Patience… These were like a tattoo drilled into my subconscious and seemed to over rule almost all questions I had concerning various matters. In other words, it didn’t matter the question I posed, those base responses would constantly show in my casts….

In other words the constant repeated messages, they frickin drove me crazy! Why?
Because, at the time I didn’t want to hear them… I was afraid of meditation, I was afraid of prayer and I certainly didn’t want to be patient.

This happened before I became aware of my grandfather’s activities as a local Shaman. He wouldn’t call his station, or trade of community spiritual healer Shamanistic. But culturally, that’s exactly what it is and he ( his spirit ) has approved my labeling as such. Which means my long night of the soul may well be a reoccurring theme in my life.

So when this repeated message comes to you in your cards, or readings. Don’t seek a different meaning, but for clarity from & for the meaning. It will come. And you will know, follow up draws and readings are ready for you to receive, when they are thematic in nature and congruent to your request for clarity. For instance…

 KnightofSwords The Question: What do I do about my current effortsKnight of Swords – Reversed
Reversed: Opposition.Opposition, yeah, I’ve been feeling that already, so???
 TheLovers The Question was what do I do then?The Lovers – Reversed
Reversed: Divisiveness, differences.Huh? As to what? Surrendering to a higher power?
Making choices… ? What choices.. (I knew I just wanted clarification…)
 TheLovers Differences in what?The Lovers – Reversed
no joke, it showed up again and reversed. Ughhh…A choice must be made, right okay… in regards to my efforts, what the heck does this have to do with .. I’m not sure I like where this is going… Spiritual self knowledge?
 TheHierophant Okay please explain:

The Hierophant: – Dignified
Upright: Traditions, conventional wisdom.Oh Here We Go! What was I saying earlier? These cards, when they talk they scream “LISTEN I’m Tellin You What You Asked To Know!”
 TheHangingMan No seriously what does that mean? :Notice my obstinance?
The Hanged Man – ReversedReversed: It’s over and done with. You can’t
go back to the way things were. It’s time for a
change of consciousness.Pshawww Man!??! A long time ago I was given a choiceChange Or Die… I later went the high route. Once again I am given this same choice for a different set of circumstances
 TheStar I feel like I’m doomed, so, now what?
The Star – ReversedReversed: To restore hope, get in alignment
with your higher spiritual purpose.What did I mention earlier about, Prayer, Patience and Meditation?Pay attention to the follow up, its pretty interesting…

After this last draw, I decided to have hope. I hadn’t yet fully accepted to fully commit to my prayers, patience and meditations thinking that was ging to make all the difference in the world. Until…

I get a call at 12 midnite from a multi-millionaire self help practitioner who was offering free consultations in exchange for a testimonial.

This wasn’t exactly out of the complete blue. I had responded to an invite earlier in the week, but because of family interruptions, I missed a positive response to get together…

Now two days later I thought I had missed the boat. And was left to figure this out on my own until the phone rang and we were back on.

He walked me through myself, talked me through what I had been experiencing, and what I’ve been telling myself. Explaining to me what I was currently thinking,  behaving & believing which was obviously not working.

And basically I have a choice.
Change or stay stuck.

I can still hear the echoes of my old thoughts now as I write this, but they are at bay. I’ve made a commitment years ago and made incredible changes in my life. It’s now time to re-commit & re-apply or stay where I am. I don’t want to stay where I am.

Change is not for people who need it, Change is for people who WANT it and are willing to make the effort. Fortunately for me, I’ve witnessed and experienced the change I’ve become in the past. I just needed my switch flipped.

Being in a similar field, I won’t say I made his job easy. But I can say I love him for being him. It’s what I’d do for another given the chance.

PS: I’ve been in life transformation for over 20 years. So I know there is no magic overnight turnarounds…Well, that was, until now. I talked with Brian after hearing about his invitation to help anyone get unstuck. It’s change or stay the same, and I’m certainly not into staying the same. What Bryan delivered was a stupendous refresher course in what helped me change the first time around, this time with a more energetic & practical paradigm I needed to hear. Brian took his time and broke through my barriers like a kid taking apart a cherished Lego set that they just created. I’m confident Brian will work magic with any situation you have issues with. He did it for me, and I’m hyper skeptical of everyone. Give him a go, I promise, you’ll be glad you did.
