"Classic" post - Parallax


"Classic" post from May 2010 about psychics reading for themselves, psychics reading for other psychics, and how all psychic / tarot readings are a collaborative effort.


"Camera 1, Camera 2, Camera 1, Camera 2" ~ Wayne's World 2

Ever play with that trick of eyesight? Close one eye, and hold up a pencil so it lines up with an object in the distance. Then switch eyes and the pencil seems to jump to one side. Things don't line up the same way.

In astronomy, this is called parallax. In anatomy this phenomenon where the brain combines two slightly different views from two slightly different viewpoint gives us depth perception...it allows us to see distance. Two eyes lets us live in three dimensions. It helps us to not walk into objects and learn our environment the hard way.

A similar idea is true in Tarot and psychic work. Getting a reading isn't predicting the future...it is getting a second look, a separate viewpoint that lets us see with greater clarity and understanding. It helps us be a bit more perceptive, and not have to do every little thing the hard way.

Two third-eyes are better than one.

Even those of us who do readings will sometimes GET one to improve our understanding, fill in any blind spots.

I like to think of psychics consulting psychics, and doing formal tarot readings for ourselves is a bit like binocular vision...two views that can be fused together into a higher quality, more useful vision. It is a bit like the very large array of radio telescopes made famous in the movie "Contact"...each person, psychic or not, has their own individual "radar"...their intuition. When we communicate with another antenna, it gives a result that is like having a dish as large as the distance between them...put alot together and you have one giant telescope!

If one eye is closed, then depth perception doesn't work. If one telescope is down, the array doesn't work as well. We each bring our part to a reading. You bring your insight too. Working together, we double our view. Depending on a psychic, or a reading to "predict" the future, or what will happen is third-eye-blind. And I don't mean the music group. 

Work together, by combining your knowing and insight with the reading, taking responsibility for your actions and decisions...working with the psychic that way, you can see farther into the cosmos.

Wishing you eyes-open clarity
