CASE IN POINT #4:
Tarot Cards Vs. What Religion is Mistitarot
You would think that people by now would realize that this is just subjective and that one really has nothing to do with the other. On some levels. But yet I still have and receive this question:
DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE TAROT?
I believe that people are visual and I believe in what I DO. The cards are just there as a guidline for the gifts that were put in me. I believe in God and my interpretation of him.
If you are a Tarot Reader thenthat automatically means that you are an Athiest/Agnostic/Wiccan/SatanWorshiper?
Really? I’m all of those things…..wow……and here I thought I only used10%of my brain…..
NO! I AM NONE OF THOSE RELIGIONS. ALTHOUGH I RESPECT OTHERS WHO MAY BE.
So let’s just clarify where I put myself, if I must use a label……I am a Christian who is more Gnostic with a tendency towards Catholicism and a dash of Dianetics.
You would have had to have met my father for you to understand that lastsentence!
Of course there is re-incarnation in there and meditation…..and….and…and….
In other words I am greatly open minded and religion is like makeup…..there’s a whole bunch of products out there and companies that work….but I don’t just use 1 brand…..I use at least 20 that literally make-up the enhancements of my inner beauty and bring it forward. It’s also very personal…and if I were to have to use someone else’s make-up, I would feel empty, incomplete, and so not myself.
So lets see if I can clarify thisonce and for all…….
THIS IS JUST A PART OF WHAT I AM AND BELIEVE. I AM NOT HERE TO ENCOURAGE OR DISCOURAGE ANYONE ELSES BELIEFS OR RELIGIONS. I AM NOT HERE TO SAY THIS IS WHAT OTHER TAROT READERS SHOULD BELIEVE. I AM SPEAKING ONLY ABOUT ME AND AM NOT DOING THIS TO START AN ARGUMENT! THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON ME.....
Cuz it’s all about Mistitarot! Teehee
I am a person who believes in God. I believe that this is where I was originated, within him, created by his hand, and given life through his breath. He is my original Father.
I believe that Christ, lived, taught, and worked on this earth. That he was crucified so that others could see, and walks freely among us, without the cross….and is my Oldest brother who wants to talk. Laugh. Cry. Help.
So, then to put it simply…by these definitions, if I must be put in a beautiful box, then I am a Christian. Am I Christ like……asif!!!!…..but as I resemble my brother in this life, and my Daddy who walked a wonderful road…..I resemble my oldest brother, and highest father.
I am judged by those who stand still holding there warn out and wrinkled, marked up bible. I do not participate in a church, but believe fully in all churches. Good & Bad, as there are many. I do not go because the condemnation that is spoken to me, just by answering one simple question, is enough to make me worship my Father and speak to my Brother, without walls, and without a roof. Without the stagnate person who throws the bible in my face as a weapon and not a tool of love.
Instead of a structure, I have chosen to swim in the spirit and worship outside. In an ever moving, and changing atmosphere. A limitless sky, with bountiful creatures. Where the moon and sun determine only the lighting, but not an end to anything. Where the cleansing rain can wash me, and the sun will warm and dry me. The moon to soothe me, and the stars to show the way into infinite wisdom and point to where my Father resides. He is in the stars, in the sky. In the creatures that scurry and the trees that sway. Where I am, he is. What God has put in me, no one can take away.
I have done this now for 20 years. Battled the Religious and the so called Wiccans.(By so called I mean those who read half a chapter in 1973 on the subject and think they are now the worlds authority on it) I do not fit within their old box, so I find myself on my own road and taking the people that I have helped, Encouraged, enlightened and loved with me. The road I walk is not a dark one. My road is lit by the love I have for God and it shines. It is brightly colored and quirky. There are events I may partake in and others I wish not to, but all available for me on the side of my path.
I am accused of doing work of the devil, of being this and that, and not worshipping their one true God. When I explain that yes, I do work in a field that has been shrouded in mysticism and judgment, but the words I speak, and the path I show people is one that leads them to themselves and their God. (Whom ever he or she may be). However, my words, because they do not sound like the days of their teachers, are not heard. My words are new and require a broader sight.
I have told them that I am to be a fisher of men…that is what God said to us in the Bible. But I do not recall him telling us what bait to use. If my calling is to go out to the people and help them, to reach them,to teach them of peace, love, and spirit, then should it matter how I do it?
The bible says:
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are different kinds of service,but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
And yes it’s the same bible that you think of when you hear the wordbible.
In 1 Corinthians 14: it says:
1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. 2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed,no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit. 3But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort. 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.
Just to clarify, the definition of
Prophecy: knowledge of the future (usually said to be obtained from a divine source) a prediction uttered under divine inspiration
I do pray everyday and meditate....I also pray before I do anyones cards. So I believe I fully grasp what the word Prophecy means.
SO that is where I stand on that…..of course it is more complicated then that but this is the gist of it. I love all religions. I love people that talk about theirs provided they are not condemning or judging others.
The definition of religion is:
Religion · a strong belief in a supernatural power orpowers that control human destiny;
· an institution to express belief in a divinepower;
Notice it does not say one certain religion or denomination, it also doesn’t say what book you must use or you cannot or can use this or that.……it just says an institution to express belief in a divine power……wouldn’t it be awesome if we had a place where people who believe in a divine power, no matter what power it is they believe in, could just talk about it and enjoy each other? I would love to go to a church where I could sit next to an American Indian Shaman on one side of me and a Buddhist Monk on the other. That would be an awesome way to spend a Sunday.
