Quote:How does tarot and intuition work together?
Almost everything that we think springs from our unconscious mind and takes form as consciousness. But this process appears to happen automatically we have almost no control over which thoughts come to mind unless we concentrate very hard to take control of our thoughts. When thoughts arrive in our conscious mind in this manner it is often referred to as intuition.
In meditation after concentrating for a time we forget what we are doing then our mind goes back to its regular rhythms, this being of course the great difficulty in meditating in general. Conditions in the environment around us and the progressed aspects to our birth chart provide the energy to spark certain thoughts from our unconscious to our conscious. This intuitive process is how we know what to think about.
Upon closer examination of one’s thoughts it becomes apparent that there are multitudes of thoughts taking place in our unconscious mind. Each thought is at its own varying level of consciousness depending upon it’s, “thought power,” or energy. Intuition is the faculty of reception, selection, and transmission of thoughts from the unconscious to the conscious self. Without our conscious effort intuition will select the thoughts that have gained the most energy and those are sent to the conscious mind to be pondered and used to build more complex thought structures consciously.
When we shuffle the tarot cards asking a question and we are trying to hijack this process and force intuition to attend to our concerns and send us a reply. Once the shuffling process becomes a habitual mechanical repetition that is controlled by the subconscious, the position of all the cards in a deck are under the jurisdiction of the unconscious mind.
Intuition is what is driving these connections between the thought of the question, the answer, and the sorting of the deck to bring the proper cards to the top of the deck. Every time we deal a spread, we are forging an intuitive channel from our unconscious to our conscious by thinking the question and having the answer being delivered through the muscular systems.
here is another chunk of that same book, this passage elucidates that process we were speaking of but in the manner of how the mind chooses the proper tarot cards for divination.
the matrix of the mind forms the question as usual, but in divination it is requesting information from the Potentiator of the body or the Potentiator of the soul. The actual shuffling of the cards properly requires at the barest minimum that Matrix of the body through Experience of the body are activated (this shuffles the card into the proper order). The message sent back to the catalyst of the mind to becomes a part of a new thought. This second part of the process we have taken control of for the message is in the tarot cards, it takes place during the reading rather than just popping into the mind like a typical intuitional thought.
