The Golden Thread

So many financial advisors and brokers are facing great stress and difficulty as a direct result of we clients blaming the advisors for investments turned sour. But this is the time for us to remember the advisors themselves are human beings. Not crystal balls. We seek their advise because we are also not crystal balls. Sure, they have knowledge and access to info we don’t have. And their advise is valuable and well worth paying for. And that’s what we ask them for. Advise. We don’t ask them for a guarantee on returns. In fact, most advisors only advise on purchases, not the selling end of investment transactions – which is when the return on an investment actually occurs.

So ….? So when things go badly we have to remember our part in the investment process – We sought advise, we thought about it, and decided to take the advise. If things go wrong, it helps to remember that investment does go wrong sometimes – that’s why we do it so thoughtfully. A good investor – you and me, or a professional – has got to be prepared to loose out on some investments sometimes. Otherwise, you’re not investing – you’re expectating; expecting that all will go well simply because you expect it will.

Spiritually speaking, we are each responsible for the decisions we make, the actions we take and the responses we throw onto others. You wouldn’t make someone else accountable for your soul’s wellbeing, so don’t make someone else accountable for your financial wellbeing. Take control of your life and live fully in your own power. And remember your advisors invest more than just their money in the companies they suggest – be mindful towards them.

The ego gets such a bad rap! Most of us have heard a lot of negativity on ego  “Her ego is the size of a bus”;  “There is nothing more fragile than the male ego”  and “ego = Etching God Out”

What is ego? I like to think of it as “I-ness” or my identity, how I relate to me.

To me the ego is a hero. Firstly it is the ego that allows me to function in this world (earth) and it is the ego that realises there is something out there that is bigger than me. Once the ego has discovered its smallness it can then go in search of its greatness or wholeness.

If we consider a spiritual perspective we find that in order for the Light, Divine or God to understand itself, it must first divide then observe itself from different angles and view points before reassembling itself into a complete and healthy one-ness. This is the simple law of  “Solve et Coagula” the Alchemists use to understand life and its challenges.

So your ego is an essential ingredient for solving one of the greatest mysteries of life – Why are we here – why am I here?  As your ego goes in search of its spiritual one-ness it actually slowly, and sometimes painfully, surrenders to a greater or higher Being. In other words the ego dies unto itself in order to become a balanced and healthy aspect of Self, and to connect your soul-self to Spirit more deeply.

Many people have asked me what it is that I love about the Tarot.

Well after much thought I have come with some ideas.

Firstly, I view the Tarot as my “Newspaper of the Universe” perhaps not the universe per se but, the universe of the person I am reading for. It still fascinates me what can come out during a reading that is not taught in any Tarot book. Anything from a specific health issue to which stocks might perform well on the Stock Market.

Secondly, I have found it an amazing learning instrument – The Tarot encompasses so many divination tools within its frame work it would take a life time to learn them all.  My Tarot includes: The Kabbalah, Numerology, Astrology (signs plus aspects), Geomancy, Mythology, Philosophy, Wisdom and a hint of I-Ching all in the same deck. This makes it a hugely potent divination tool because if a question cannot be answered (simply) by the card itself it can be answered by one of the hidden foundations (or formulas) of that card. This is where the “The eyes to see” really becomes important.

Thirdly, the Tarot is portable and universal, even though I don’t speak many languages myself I can still potray the meaning of a reading with a good level of clarity through the pictures displayed on the card to just about anyone any where.  No matter what your culture, language or faith the Tarot communicates with you because it uses universal themes, ideas and philosophies.

The Tarot has become both my friend and mentor.

Of all the divination tools I have studied over the last 15 years the Tarot comes up Trumps

I close with those immortal words of Eliphas Levi:

“A prisoner devoid of books, had he a Tarot of which he knew how to make use, might in a few years possess a universal science and discourse on all possible subjects with an unequalled doctrine and inexhaustible eloquence.”
