@Lys: What I dont get is why you would worry that your question is stupid. We are all here venturing this strange psychic world attempting to make sense of things we dont understand. Regarding your question, I think its possible you move together or based on the layout of the cards it may be a marker. Maybe shortly before or shortly after a relocation things progress with a poi.
@summertimesnow: The grilling now continues, lol.
1. I notice in my readings with Yona, sometimes she will say that the cards tell her she has to ‘read this exactly as it comes up.’ Other times she will say that she ‘has to read this bit carefully.’ What does this mean? Is there a guide telling her to read this as it comes up and lie/ sugarcoat abt that when that comes up?
2. How the heck do these Tarot cards work? How the heck does shuffling a deck of cards predict someone’s future and in Yona’s case sometimes 7 yrs down the line?
Are angels/demons/guides controlling the deck? Im interested in ur thoughts here.
3. You have mentioned that you have some gifts as a seer. With that in mind, Im interested in your thoughts as to whether you believe our life journeys have already been written, that all our experiences, all our triumphs and mistakes, and all the ppl we are to meet are all already known ( I believe Edgar Cayce referred to this as the akashic records). What are your thoughts here.
By the way, I find your responses very enlightening and helpful, whoever the heck u r 🤗
I just love participating on this forum; so vibrant and engaging.
First off, before I get to Professor's questions, I loved Fidget friend's story. I would bet my two horses and a chicken (if I had any) on the '6 weeks' prediction of Yona covering the first predictive layer. In those scenarios she ends up being accurate with the time frame but she is a human being and once it's beyond that layer she has no way of knowing how far out the prediction is. she guesses '18 months' '6 months' etc but it can be '4 years' , '2.5 years' etc.
Now on to the questions:
1. Ahhh I get this quite a lot. Now, Hierophant is the card she gets to alert her to the fact that she needs to read it carefully and it's a bit complex. But I am not sure if this is tantamount to her other phrasing of 'they're telling me to read it exactly as it comes up'. I think it is-it just means for her to not put her own judgment into it and read the cards literally as if translating. It may also mean do not assume you know this suit is x person yadi yada.
2. Oy! where do we begin. this is a burning question that I mean to throw Yona's way some day. She has her guides for tarot and it's like channeled messages from Spirit. whether she believes in Spirit as in part of the Holy Trinity or Spirit in spiritualism as a holistic entity or universal consciousness or your own Higher self, I don't know. or these are all elements of the same thing (no intention to offend Christians here). Yona herself is not religious I don't think-she believes in old traditions. In other cultures, such as Islam, Tarot is to be avoided as is all divination because entities that covet and hate human life trick readers into revealing elements of the truth. So I sometimes wonder if the messages that are inaccurate or have you hoping for naught are intercepted by these entities. That is, the entities would deliberately throw in minor predictions that are quickly fulfilled but know your hopes and give predictions aligned with your hopes just to toy with you. But this is originating from the belief that humans are the superior beings and these entities wanted to be human, were denied by God, and so are stuck in their own realms. Some are good, ,some are bad and it's only the bad ones that toy with humans. Secular beliefs in the tarot as taught to me by my family suggest that they merely reflect your existing energy and how they can predict the future is that there's no future=all we have is now, there's no time. I am not sure how this sits with the idea of predetermination but in a way it does, if we argue that all that is to be, already is. But Yona has said to me 'the cards are neutral, they cannot lie or mislead. But I can mess up and I do on a regular basis''. so to her the cards are never wrong, they never lie but her interpretations can be off.
3.Akashic records-another new agey term that people have seized upon. I saw a reader selling akashic readings, so to me it sounded scammy. I had read up on the records growing up. I used to have dreams of astral travel-still do but I can't parse them apart from regular dreams and once chanced upon a records hall where I tried to look at my own file and did look but waking up remembered nothing concrete.
but I'm with Yona on this one. I also used to attend a meditation group where the guru seemed to think that yes it's 90% predetermined but some elements could be altered-only the minor bits.
Oh as to who I am: just a lonely scholar stuck in a small college town, whose only love life has been chatting to an annual average of 1,000 random strangers on the app carousels and 55 (I built a mini dataset) app one-off meetups, euphemistically referred to as "online dates" .
