New Post On Solarsight

There is a new post on this blog's sister site, Solarsight Tarot Readings. It is about using the Tarot for dream interpretations, something I have not covered here, on this site.

A Dream Interpreted

Sometimes a dream actually has an interpretation that has a bearing on the life of the dreamer, and sometimes a dream is just one's subconscious having a field day. Here is a dream I had many years ago, when I first moved away from my childhood home. It was a warning about the lifestyle I had begun to foster.

In the dream, I was renting a basement apartment before graduating from college. I came home very late one night, and sat down to work on some homework before going to sleep. What seemed odd was that I entered the house through the front door upstairs, rather then the basement door. After I sat down, my father, who, in real life, had died a few years earlier, came downstairs to the basement from the attic of the house. We chatted, and before he left, he said, "I want to ask you something." He proceeded to the basement door, which was not the door I had used while entering the house, opened it and closed it, and then locked the deadbolt lock on it, and said, "How come you never lock this door?" Then I woke up, feeling a bit shaken.

I knew that dream was more than simply the action of my subconscious, but did not understand the entire symbolism at first. The man who taught me how to read Tarot thought the dream was interesting, and explained it this way: the house was the reality of life, in a Judeo-Christian sort of way. The basement and main floor, and the sidewalk leading up to the house, represented the realm of the living, hence my entrance through the door on the main floor, not the basement door. The attic represented "heaven", or the afterlife, from where my father had come, since he was deceased. The world outside of the basement door was a bit comparable to "hell", if you will. Since I belonged in the house, as part of the world's current living beings, I entered through the front door. When my father opened the basement door and closed it, he locked it. In the dream, I apparently had fostered an habit of leaving it unlocked. What he was saying to me when he asked me why I never locked that door was "why are you allowing the influences of hell into your life?"

Explained thus, the dream made perfect sense to me. I had, indeed, allowed some influences into my life that did not belong there. The advice in the dream may have been one of the best pieces of advice my father has ever given to me, with the exception, of course, of the dream in which he asked me why I wouldn't just admit that I was in love with my best friend! That's another story, though. And my best friend is now my husband......Dad was right, once again.
 

The Twofold Nature Of Psychic Guidance

I had trouble deciding whether to title this post "The Twofold Nature Of Psychic Guidance", or "Why I Have Not Published A Reading For Lisa Irwin". Don't get me wrong, I DID do a reading for Lisa Irwin. And I shared my observations with whom I feel are the correct people. To date, the crime has not been solved, and poor little Lisa is still lost.

Giving the reading is only one part of the process. The other part is interpretation and listening. Going on and on with reading after reading, while no one is looking at the clues provided, is taxing and nonproductive. And, information that can get a case solved usually does not change by the minute, and it is almost an insult to continue with more readings while the first one has been ignored. This is something I see from time to time with people who want readings about bad relationships.........the problems that made the relationship unworkable have not changed, yet the person, or persons, want to find some sort of "psychic loophole", and delay dealing with their problems. Also, there are a couple of websites that encourage amateur psychics to persist with observation after observation, until each contributor is so far away from reality that further communication is worthless. The advice of a psychic or a reading only has to be uttered once. More times, possibly, if something changes, but not again and again.

This listening of which I speak...........it would seem that it is harder than it sounds. Just mundane clues, such as clues offered by Jaycee Dugrad's stepfather, Carl Probyn, who saw the kidnapping of his stepdaughter but was ignored by the police and later accused, get ignored and make the word of any enlightened psychic ineffective. Had anyone come along and told the police the truth, that a sex offender with a criminal history had taken Jaycee, the police probably would not have listened, any better than they listened to Carl Probyn, an eye witness. Sad. Also, there is Michele Dorr, whose father was accused of making her disappear in 1986, in Maryland. They did not have enough evidence to charge him, but the real killer killed again, at least a couple more times, before he was caught in the early 1990's. No one wanted to consider any other possibilty than the dad. I lived in Maryland at the time, and someone actually had me do a reading for that. The answer was that the dad was innocent, and no one wanted to listen.

Right now, I think the police can actually solve Lisa Irwin's kidnapping if they look at the community, and the neighboring cities. If they look hard at every connection Lisa's family has, and question everyone, giving no respect to whatever the community respects, but just looking at possible connections to the family and oppotunity to take this child, I think they determine who took Lisa. I also think they know that, and are afraid, for some reason, to do that. I think it's easier for them to just close the case, rather than stand up to a dangerous criminal or question someone who is politically well connected within the Kansas City area. So they blamed Lisa's parents. This isn't to say that Lisa's parents have not somehow erred; it just looks to me as if the police did not really do a thorough investigation. If the police do not want to look at all the obvious, mundane clues, there is no way a psychic or a reading can help.

In time, if Baby Lisa is not found, I will publish readings about her. After she has grown or changed, obvious clues that are useful now will no longer be useful. It will be necessary to use intuition and think outside of the box, so to speak, in order to gain insight. But I would really like to see this baby found before the situation reaches that point.
