The Science
of it all
I had a
reading with a young man recently and I started with my usual question – have
you had a tarot reading before and he said over a hundred. Well, that’s a lot
of readings! He said that one of the
reasons he went to so many psychics was that he was studying physics and was
interested in the science of psychic phenomena.
So I gave him my blood transfusion example:
My
prediction for psychic phenomena –
Let’s go
back in history for a minute. People always saw blood and had theories about
blood, but until much later than you would think (1900) they did not know about
blood groups. The rudimentary tools for blood transfusion were around in the
1700’s and the first human to human transfusion was recorded in 1818.
When doctors
first had the technology, they tried blood transfusions from strong animals to
sick humans. (and why
not, we eat and digest animals, there was no obvious reason why we wouldn’t be
able to take their blood directly) but of course most of the humans died, and
those transfusions were soon banned throughout Europe. Then they tried transfusions from strong
people to weak. Unsurprisingly, most
humans died, even after a transfusion, though more mysteriously for the doctors
at the time, some did not, and in fact got better… Because the doctors didn’t know about blood
groups, they couldn’t make sense of their results.
There are many, repeated studies, showing that meditation (focused thought) has a real, measurable impact on blood pressure, heart attacks, anxiety (which seems like cheating, because that’s a mental issue to begin with, but it has physical symptoms which meditation can allay) What we think about these automatic systems in our body, can affect those normally unconscious processes.
So my
prediction for the years 3010 – so grateful if someone could keep this alive in
the internet for that long for me to be vindicated – my prediction is that
there will be a strong and solid science for psychic phenomena, and they will
have a reasonable explanation as to why sometimes studies worked and sometimes
they didn’t.
Perhaps,
like blood types, there are psychic groups, and some groups enhance each other
and some negate each other and the types of people who become scientists fall
more into the group A mental abilities, and the types of people who work on
their psychic abilities are group B and Group A and Group B negate each other…
All of which
brings me back to Tarot. The theory of Tarot is that while shuffling the cards,
the person imbues their energy into them. That energy then affects which card
goes where, and then when you read the cards, you see what is going on in that
person’s energy.
Doesn’t
sound like it makes too much sense, does it? And yet, time and again, I see it.
I see people with money worries draw only money cards; people with relationship
issues draw cards exactly about their particular relationship. A woman came and
saw me and I said, your house card is in disarray and your lover’s card is
upside down. And she said, she had just moved, because her husband had an
affair and the divorce was just finalized. I promise you that I don’t say that
to every person who comes for a reading!
Each time the cards fall into a
different pattern, and that pattern reveals something true and real about what
is going on in that person’s life. I don’t have the science to explain it, but
then again, I don’t need it. I can see the reality in front of me
