As consciousness flows through us from the universe, we sense it in ways unique to our own being and life experiences. Some people hear the information, like quiet whispers in their heads.  Others feel it in their bodies, especially in the gut. When I read someone who’s injured or sick, I usually feel their pain in the corresponding part of my own body. Some people sense energy through their olfactory sense, perhaps in the same way that hospice dogs and cats can sense when a person is preparing to leave this earth.   But most people’s strongest sixth sense is visual.  That is why intuitives so often use tea leaves, coffee grounds, palms, crystal balls, and tarot cards.

Getting Intuitive Information Visually

How do we do this?  It’s actually so easy that it’s hard to believe it’s called a mystery.  We simply look at an abstract image, such as tea leaves, clouds, or drips on a window pane and allow the abstractions to form images in our minds.  In other words, we use the abstract blob as a Rorshach Inkblot Test. If you are reading someone, then the blob will begin to look like something which is relevant to the person you are reading.  Those images come from your brain’s visual cortex interpreting thought waves as they flow through you like radio waves.

Why Choose Tarot Cards Over Tea Leaves, Crystal Balls, and Coffee Grounds?

Tarot adds the dimension of ancient wisdom.  With the other methods, you are simply doing the Rorschach Inkblot Test.   If you are in the process of reading someone, you’ll begin to form images relevant to whomever you are reading. But the power and depth of your perceptions are only as good as your own point of reference.  If you stare into a Tarot card, the archetypal images and symbols conjure stories that have evolved over thousands of years.
