The nature of reality and why some predictions happen and some don’t

The nature of reality

We create our own reality, sometimes consciously but mostly unconsciously. Our reality is the result of the combination of our beliefs, our intentions and wants, our thoughts, our feelings and our actions

For example: If we believe that we have to work hard to earn money, that’s exactly the reality we’ll create, one in which we work hard to earn money - whatever ‘hard work’ means to you. If for some reason you’re doing some work that you enjoy and don’t find ‘hard’ (because you enjoy it), then you will probably not make much money doing it with that belief. Most of the people believe that ‘money comes from hard work’, they’ve been told so over and over again by parents, teachers elderly people and those who represent authority. That is why there are so many people who are stuck in jobs they hate, the fact they hate their jobs makes it ‘hard work’, thus it’s ok for them to make money from it.
If they try to make money doing something they love they may feel guilty, think they’re undeserving because they’re doing something they enjoy (so they actually should be paying for it) and create little if any money and even loss.

The moment we change a belief we change our feelings and the way we think about an aspect of our reality, we then start changing our reality and our future. Our present is the outcome of our past, our future is dependant on our intentions, what we want, decisions, thought patterns and feelings and finally actions occurring in the present. Which is why the ‘Here and now’ are so important. The moment our perception of the world changes even slightly, when something ‘clicks’ and we understand a pattern and are able to change it, when we decide to act or not act in a way different to our usual course of action we change our world. It’s a little bit along the lines of ‘if you always do what you’ve always done, you will always have what you’ve always had’ - so if you want to change something in your life you have a choice of:
1. Feeling and thinking in a different way about it (changing your beliefs)
2. Doing something different to what you’ve been doing so far about it
or
3. Changing a completely different thing in your life that is seemingly unrelated -
I’ll explain:
Our reality is a whole (just like we are), the moment we change one aspect of it, the rest of it will change as well. Like the butterfly effect. Some changes will be small and some big. Usually the aspect of your reality that you actively worked on changing will see the most obvious changes, then there will be changes in areas of life that you had inteniton to change or wanted to change, the rest will be more like little subtle adjustments to fit in with everything else.

Sometimes we’re in such a deep muddy swamp we can’t seem to be able to get out of, we can’t change the way we feel or think about it and we can’t change what we’re doing about it - i.e. we repeat the same patterns over and over again. No matter how hard we try we keep feeling the same, doing the same and having the same.
Option 3 is a way to start change indirectly. Changing something completely unrelated and usually very external (as within so without = as without so within) , like your hair, car, wardrobe, redecorate your room or anything else that you want to change - but careful, you have to want that particular change in itself, there’s no point in changing the colour of your hair hoping it will effect your abundance, you’ll end up with a different hair clour that you probably didn’t want and no change in anything else. You have to want the change you’re making for itself. This will give a jump start to other things changing in your life including what it was you wanted to change but couldn’t. But this is only a jump start to get you out of the ‘muddy swamp’ it’s up to you whether or not you’ll slide back in that swamp or act on options one and two above instead.

..and now predictions

A Tarot reading can show what’s in your past and what’s in your present with a great deal of accuracy, these have already been written and exist in your energy now. The cards can also show your potential even if you’ve not realised it (your potential) yet. Sometimes cards will show the ‘unrealised potential’ as a reality and will show an outcome according to what potential is there.

However, the future is subject to decisions and actions that you take or do not take and it is subject to what you believe in.
No one but you has the power to change your life, someone may affect your life because you allow them to but the power to allow them or not is still within you.

I’m sometimes asked what about when a reading shows something you’ve never thought about before, Isn’t it like planting a seed in your mind affecting your actions and decisions. If that seed does not appeal to you it will not catch on, and if you try to do something about it it will feel wrong and you will not pursue it (I hope). If it does appeal to you and you do something about it, it may just change your life for ever. But again it will be you who decides because you create your reality from your intentions, beliefs, thoughts, feelings and actions.

My advice is this, treat your Tarot reading as guidelines and an opportunity for insight. Not as a fatalistic fortune telling session. This is not a ‘cop out’. I believe a reading can and will show you the possible outcome of current conditions but it will also tell you what those conditions are and the moment you go out the door you could decide to change your intention and focus, you could take action as a result from an insight you had in your reading which could send whatever that outcome was out the window replacing it with a new outcome you created. All it takes is a slight change of perception and you re-write your reality.

The Tarot give guidance to help us on our journey, direct us towards realising our full potential. They may show what is going to happen or what needs to be done in order for something to happen. Ultimately the cards will show you what you need to know at that moment to take you to the next stage.
The rest is up to you.
