When Enough is Too Much
One common misconception about tarot readers and mediums is the idea that we are some kind of fortune tellers. Anyone who has actually made use of the services of a professional medium or tarot reader will tell you that’s very far from the truth. Rather, we tap into the currents flowing around our clients, those in Spirit who walk with our clients, in order to better understand what is happening for them in order to provide guidance in how to navigate an often turbulent world.
It’ll come as a surprise, therefore, if I now turn around and offer a prediction. I predict that events are reaching breaking point. I predict that for too many people, “enough” has turned into “far too much”. People have been pushed by increasing uncertainty, loss of work, poverty, insecurity, so many things, for so long, that they have reached breaking point.
The view on which I disagree with many is how that breaking point will manifest itself. For some, it is a “Tower of God” moment, in which past certainties will be swept away. For others however, for many, I believe, it will manifest more as a fever breaking.
If you’ve ever experienced a true fever, you’ll know that your condition reaches a certain point, then, as for example, my husband described particularly bad fever, it’s “like a soap bubble bursting”. Suddenly, you know that the worst is over, that the change point has been reached. I hope, I believe, that for many, that point is being reached.
Old certainties, rabble rousers, those with overly-simplistic answers to complex questions are being left behind. That’s not difficult when finally, you wake up the fact that their blustering rhetoric, their “blame everyone else” politics, when implemented, if anything, have made things worse, not better. The genie is out of the bottle, and he can’t deliver on the three wishes. The curtain has been pulled back, and the Wizard of Oz is being shown to be a bumbling old fool with no answers to offer any longer.
Compassion has become a dirty word. “Woke” is now used to describe anyone who cares at all about anyone but themselves. But I sense that people are beginning to waken up the fact that many of the social ails about which they complain so bitterly are caused by exactly those who purport to provide answers to how they might be remedied.
It seems strange to discuss green shoots in November, as Nature prepares to take a deep breathe, prior to a renewed burst of energy in the Spring. But I see green shoots among people’s attitudes. People are finally hearing the call that “if you don’t like what your governments are doing, stop voting for them”. People are beginning to realise that repetition of the same half-baked, simplistic “solutions” to complex problems, over and over, in the the vain hope of them producing sane and radically different outcomes, is not going to work.
More and more, I hear subtle murmurs that “enough” is actually far more than enough. If we want out of the mess we’ve created, then we need to realise that we must to do this together, instead of constantly demonising “other”, whoever they might be, as the source of all our troubles.
Maybe, even in the start of winter, as the weather is threatening snow, I can hear the ice cracking. But this time, it’s the ice in people’s hearts, put there by those who seek to manipulate and control with lies and evasions. And when that ice has well and truly thawed, maybe we’ll see that it’s only by working with each other that we have a chance at true happiness.
So may it be.
