Tarot, Clairvoyance, and How to Know God

Last week I had the chance to watch the DVD How to Know God which is based on the book of the same name by Deepak Chopra. A breezy but insightful introduction to quantum physics, Chopra discussed  the mirage of time and movement as well as more mystical topics like miracles, synchronicity, and clairvoyance.

When discussing clairvoyance, Chopra enters what looks to be a fortuneteller's parlor (of course!), and she begins laying out Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot cards. (In case you're curious, they were The Empress, Hanged Man, Hermit, Death, Strength, Sun and Lovers.)

Chopra had this to say about clairvoyance:

"The clairvoyant is attuned to a reality not yet manifested. What is it that allows the internal firing of neurons to match external events that have not yet come to pass? There are no definite occurrences in time. What exists are infinite choices within every event and we determine which select few are going to manifest. In the clairvoyant's vision, the future has two locations--here and later."

While watching this segment, I had the thought that Tarot reading is accessing sychronicity proactively (as opposed to waiting for it to "happen" to you). What do YOU think? And, for fun, how would you read the group of cards the clairvoyant dealt on the table?

Another one of his books talks about being in the flow of energy and time, and how it's all connected. I think it's something like a river, knowing the river, you can predict where the water in front of you will be when it gets downstream. Someone could throw a pebble in, or move a rock, or a fish could swim through it, altering its path. Even in a flood or a drought you may do reasonably well at predicting where the water will flow, though it may look a little different and more extreme.

Deepak Chokra said synchronicity is nothing more than being in tune with the net of energy and its flow, and that it will happen more often if you're moving along with it than if you fight against it. I reserve judgment - but it's an interesting thought :)

Yes, it IS an interesting thought!

I wonder--now, this may seem "out there"--if there is, indeed, parallel Universes. And that we tap into those Universes using divination and can, sometimes, "jump" realities--bringing things into being by intention (including "miraculous" healings).

What if the Akashic Records are really just all potentials--that are happening simultaneously in all realities. Reminds me of the Multiverse card in The Quest Tarot by Joseph Ernest Martin...

Gotta love quantum physics... ^_^
