U-Predict on Google

In 2012, one of the best reality shows on TV was a series of debates of Republican presidential candidates.  The series was known in social media as the “clown car”….. 

So here we are 2016; we have 17 candidates for president running on the Republican ticket alone.  And what a list it is – The Donald, Chris Christie, the brother of an unpopular president, Jeb Bush and so forth.  It is also more than a year from the election.  What can we learn from a debate this far out, or was this just another bout of reality TV.  Using the U-Predict theory of free reading by various readers to give us a large, overall view of the first debate, I ask for readers to pull one card.  I was given 10 cards by 10 readers.  We did have synchronicities – The Hierophant, Four of Cups and The Fool (what a set of synchronicities for this topic). 

The Synchronicities

The Four of Cups – this one card defines most of the campaigns we’re seeing for president.  YOU’RE NOT HAPPY.  I CAN FIX IT.  OK, how do you get happy?  Do we call people names and show them your dislike for what they believe or their lifestyle?  Do we quote religious books?  Do we blame other religions?  The purpose of the Four of Cards is to remind you that you have to own your own dissatisfaction.  Are any of these people going to be able to fix your personal problems? Karmically, would you be better off fixing them yourself?

The Fool – All the candidates are starting out on a big adventure.  They are stepping up big time:  are they stepping up or stepping in it – you decide.  The Fool represents that we are just starting out.  This is the earliest the presidential race has ever started.  What we are hearing now is basically done for entertainment – they call it getting attention/voters.  This concept was strengthened by the fact that one of the Fools was pulled in reverse.  Considering the questions that were ask at Trump, one has to wonder if someone was being called out as The Fool.  A reversed Fool also represents the outlandish statements that were made.  Again, they are looking for donations and followers – not setting policy. That doesn’t mean don’t listen; just realize that in our crazy world things will change between now and next November.   

The Hierophant – The Hierophant represents one thing – dogma.  It may be a dogma of religion (yes, we hear religious dogma from our politicians); it may be the dogma of a standing political party or subgroup (Tea Party or Right Wing Conservatives).  Are any of these people offering us anything but the same narrow solutions that we have heard for over 12 years?  The Hierophant stands for dogma and the Four of Cups stands for what you dislike.  So, is their dogma going to fix what you dislike?  Or do you dislike things because their dogma seems to have swept the country?

Now the single cards:

The Magician – All the candidates are magicians.  They all have the answers.  There are two types of magicians, those that have studied and have power and then there are the charlatans.  Charlatans are the tricksters.  They will tell you whatever you want to hear, they will give you sound bites that make you feel amazed.  But does it mean anything?   Do they really have power and wisdom or are they just hitting people’s buttons.  Is it too early in this process to determine who should be the candidate?  Realize that the man who currently holds the office was seen as The Magician by many.  When he had not fixed America’s problems in 90 days based on campaign promises, he quickly fell into dislike.

The Lovers – Are you really in love with one of these people right now? Do you love where they stand, do you feel they promise you prosperity?  Are you in love with the idea of living in the past with the social mores of the 50’s?  (No birth control, women had little to no value in the work place, etc.) Do you understand what that would mean to your lifestyle?

The other meaning of the Lovers is to make the right choice.  Do you want to live in the same divided, hate-fueled society that we live in?  Or do you want to work on electing people who cherish peace on earth?  Do you want to become politically literate so that you know who to elect to protect the earth?  Many people want nothing to do with politics.  They don’t vote; and the same people get elected  – madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

The Star – Yes, there is hope.  There is always hope. Generations will die, society will change.  But do we want to see a 10-year change into a more harmonious society or do we want to wade through 30 or 40 years of hate and discontent (and planetary destruction) before we begin to change.   Hope – we can believe in hope while corporations destroy the environment, or we can decide to act on the idea of hope.  The 60’s were about reaching out in love and peace.  We took to the streets, both in political marches and love-ins, and we did make a profound change in society.  We discovered we are star stuff, we are golden, and by being involved we could have a hand in recreating the garden.

The 10 of Swords – Perhaps not now, but after the third debate some candidates will face the 10 of Swords.  They won’t raise enough money to continue, their popularity will tank. (Fox’s referral to Donald Trump’s business failures and terrible treatment of women were unexpected attempts to expose the man for who he is). 

However, there is another meaning for the 10 of Swords.  We the people can say “enough.”  What do we need in our lives?  Better jobs, assurance that our healthcare, including birth control, will continue, as will the continuance of Social Security for when we reach an age or physical condition when we need to slow down?  Who stands for these things?  Not just on a national level, but locally as well.  We can be one of the people putting a sword in someone’s back – not literally, but in the back of their political career.  But we have to get involved and understand who is running for what to do it.

The final card was the Eight of Pentacles, the card of hard work.  This card can represent someone working so hard in the trenches that they can’t see the big picture.  Of any prognostications I could divine, that one probably nails it best.  All these people are working like crazy to make a small percentage of the electorate happy, but not looking at the big, broad picture.   What do we really do about the poor, the disabled (especially our veterans), and the underemployed?  Do we want to send another 100,000 American kids into another Middle-Eastern ground war where we lose thousands in death, and have many more thousands come home permanently disabled?  With our scientific minds, is it not time to toss fossil fuels and go with renewables?   Yes, there is a much bigger picture.  There were glimmers of hope in a few remarks made by the candidates last night, but were there enough? U-Predict…

Final note:  When we used the same method to predict the outcome of the Republican convention back in 2012, NOT ONE SINGLE MAJOR ARCANA CARD was drawn.  Of, course, even a novice reader would understand that this was an indication that the people involved were absolutely clueless about the truth of the situation.  THIS TIME IT WAS THE EXACT OPPOSITE.  Of the 10 cards 8 were Majors.  Now with that many Majors in a reading, the most common interpretation would be that a profound, probably karmic change was overtaking this field and this period of history.  I have to admit that I did not see a great deal of enlightenment on the stage last night, but things can happen.  We may truly be moving into the age we have all waited for.  However, as an old Hippie war protestor, I still think it will happen more smoothly if those of us who believe in love, hope and peace do our part to move the process forward.

After the release of the movie “The Matrix”, many people felt they had discovered the secret to life – it was run in another dimension by people with dubious intentions.  Angry people quit the “Why me God?” reference and instead interjected “Damn you people in control.”  So after a few references to The Matrix in the Reading Room, I decided that was a good question to investigate on U-Predict.

 The first thing that was fascinating was how old this idea is in philosophy.  It is NOT just an idea that took hold after the first movie’s release; for centuries, different philosophers and theologians claimed that control of the world was completely and totally out of our hands, and that we needed to determine who had control. It was an open question to the philosophers, or determined to be God by the theologians.  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis )   The outcome decision between the Reading Room and the Project TAROT card synchronicities is even more thought provoking.

The Reading Room included: IvyLieberman, Jean Hamilton-Fford, Patti Phare-Camp, Mary Nale, Deb Frueh, Jean Maurie Puhlman, Anita Perez, Marnie Heart, Maggie MoonTarot, ReeNee Cummins, and Dax Carlisle. 

The first question was “Is the Universe a giant computer?”  Mary Nale threw out a show stopper when she asked “Is this why I dreamed I was walking on a circuit board?” Dax added to the mystery by stating "My Kingdom is not of This World..." is a clue to the multiple realities. Then the cards began answering. Synchronicities were the High Priestess, The Emperor, and the Lovers.  Looking at this, the Reading Room said there was an overriding intelligence that was beyond our comprehension.  However, when it comes to this dimension, Ivy IvyLieberman stated “we are alone and create our own controller and are really happy that way.”   The Lovers was the interesting card – what choice needed to be made?  A few more cards uncovered the concept that many people don’t want to know how it really works.  Some people are happy with the idea that God makes all the decisions.  Others want to believe in a randomness that is beyond their control.  Only a few people ask these kinds of questions to the universe.

The second question was “Is reality a dream?”  This brought up the idea that is popular in Eastern religions; nothing we see or experience is real.  The follow-on question gave us a more fascinating answer “Is reality a simulation?”  The Reading Room came back with a mind-blowing answer; it is a simulation for those who choose not to learn or to realize self-responsibility.  ReeNee’s comment was that this would explain the clients a tarot reader sees over and over again with the same problem.  It may also give us the wisdom to stress the importance of self-responsibility in future readings.  Of course, the natural follow-on to that question is “People believe “You create your own reality” is that true?”  The answer was a strong yes from the Reading Room – both from personal experiences as well as what the cards had to say.  Even if there is an over-riding intelligence within the Universe, it wants to interact with us, wants us to understand what our thoughts and actions truly mean.

The next question is one of the hardest and most painful to ask “If it is interactive, how come bad things happen to people - is it bad thinking?” The cards and Readers gave a broader interpretation than just “bad things are caused by stinkin’ thinkin’ “.  The information that poured forth is that, yes, negativity and the stress it causes hurts people.    Mary Nale intuited that “the mind creates the drama.” And Deb Frueh reminded us that “people like drama - no two ways about it.”  In addition the cards also said that things happen when people are completely stuck.  They may have a very complacent life, but there is no growth, no challenge.  Then the Universe may take over and hand the person the challenges they need to grow or come to greater understanding.

The final question set was about defining what we are.  Are we just one’s and zero’s?  Are we just a string of data?  While discussing the string of data idea, Dax brought up "Morphic fields" and "Torsion Fields" – to scientific theories to explain who or what we are.  The cards and readers both agreed that we are much more than a data string or a string of information.  Anita Perez stated that we are “energy and consciousness but that information by itself is not conscious.” Becky Graywolf added “Yes, we are way more than ones and zeros. We are also information and experience for our souls.”

The overall Project TAROT moment cards further clarified and strengthened the messages the Reading Room contributed.  The most often read cards were the Chariot and the Lovers.  On first glance, this looks like a strange pairing and an impossible read.  But considering the subject, and the answers to the questions it interprets as we are all driving our own chariots on our own journeys the decisions we make (The Lovers can represent choice) determines if our journey is pleasant, bumpy or if we overturn the cart (our lives) completely.  The Universe is a feedback loop.  What we put out comes back until we can exist harmoniously with the world and Universe around us. 

We also had a Lenormand moment, when Jean Hamilton-Fford pulled cards multiple times.  When asked for an in-depth explanation, Jean offered “The Golden Bear [card pulled multiple times] refers to putting on the mask we need to wear for whatever part of our journey we are on.   We become one with the Sun and have the key, the strength and the playfulness to find joy and wealth and happiness.” 

Mary Nale gave a beautiful intuitive reading on the concepts that we discussed during this week’s show “When the moon shines its light on us, in the deep hours of night we travel to the place where we receive the knowledge we need to survive.  What we do with this knowledge is a matter of how advanced we are in our personal journey.”  Are you aware of the information to improve your “matrix”? U-Predict!

Blogger’s note:  Many of us who participate in U-Predict have been part of a broader metaphysical community.  While many people only think of 

the New Age of the 80’s, this community stretches back a couple of centuries in the United States.  In the 1950’s and beyond, there were many predictions made about changes that would happen to the planet itself that would cause mast destruction and death.  What is interesting is too look back with today’s science and see one thing:  the predictions broadly identified change, but may have come up short in describing the exact event.  This can be accounted for by looking at the scientific knowledge of the predictor, and the popular science theories of the time.  It was, however, amazing to see in a matter of about a month several serious scientific blogs and articles talked about the kinds of changes that had been predicted.  And fortunately they were explained in a more modern, less fear-provoking manner.  So we wanted to ask Tarot to give us further information on what the planet is going through.

The Reading Room included:  Jean Maurie Puhlman, Ivy Lieberman, Camille Kea, WalkWithSpirit (Readings by Cary) and ReeNee Cummins.

Metaphysical prediction:  the poles are shifting.  In actuality, this is happening.  According to an article in New Scientist:  “This drift is due to the changes in the distribution of Earth's mass as the crust slowly rebounds after the end of the last ice age...”  However, since 2005 the direction has changed.  Science now feels that again the earth is trying to adjust to the melting of the polar ice and glaciers due to climate change.  From Tarot, we got that this is cyclical; and that one event feeds off the other.  Jean Maurie’s Angel Card (3 Gabriel) warned “prosperity arising from wise planning. Time to take the next step. Optimistic plans that turn out as expected.” So now that we know about this, we need to become activists to make sure these changes are planned for at a global level.

The next set of questions was about the fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic field.  Many sources, including CBS News talked about the fact that it was weakening at a much faster rate than it had in the past.  Here is where Tarot began to use archetypes to explain things to us.  The Reading Room had drawn a high number of Pages and Wands, plus a large synchronicity on the Ace of Wands.  Tarot was explaining that there was a lot of raw energy (wands) and potential (Pages) under the crust of the Earth.  Because of the potentiality of this energy, from time to time there would be geologic activity. However, the Tarot did NOT see a huge, Earth destroying upheaval in the future.  The Reading Room pulled both the 10 of Cups AND the 10 of Swords in synchronicity.  This also indicated that the activity would not involve everyone everywhere.  Some people would suffer disaster; others would even reap benefits as they tapped geothermal to heat homes and business and used volcanic rich soil to grow crops. Of course, with a question like this, we did pull the High Priestess.  She is there to remind us that the Universe is in charge, and that sometimes things happen and a level and for a reason we may not be able to comprehend.  One thing that was fascinating to

comprehend is the fact that the pole shift may be caused more by climate change and not completely tied to the Earth’s magnetic field.  This was new information to most of us.

Tarot did give a warning about the weakening of the magnetic field and electronics.  We should be careful not to completely become dependent on an Internet-based way of life.  Important data like health and financial records should be stored on paper as well as online.  People would be wise to have some cash stashed in a safe emergency spot so that life could go on if there was an outage.  Tarot did not, however, visualize a complete collapse of our Internet infrastructure or other computer networks.  Other cards pulled in synchronicity were joyous.  We pulled the 3 of Cups.  We should enjoy life. We also pulled the Strength card.  We all could see the Strength card with two different meanings.  First, we are a strong species.  We have survived many disasters. But the reading wasn’t complete reassuring.   Ivy Lieberman read humanity that clings together, helps each other and stays calm will survive.   

WalksWithSpirit added “Will we destroy ourselves to go back to the back to the simple days, or have a real wake up?  We could also predict that we need to remember the strength of the Earth and the systems that sustain it – including those under the crust of the planet.  We need to be ready to help each other when disaster strikes.  The final card pulled in Synchronicity was the Moon.  The moon affects the tides; it may affect the magma at the center of the earth.  The Moon also talks about turning to gut instincts. We need to trust the animals around us to help predict disasters. They can feel what is about to happen.  Birds leave, cats hide, and dogs become listless.  We can learn; we just need to ask the earth spirit to help us.  Jean Maurie pulled the same Angel card twice that gave us this advice:  4 Raphael - seek out other possibilities, look for the magic in life.

On the second week of the show involving Earth changes, we looked at two other topics that were making news.  First, the earth was hit by a “rogue” planet which fractured off the moon.  Second, it was reported that there was a huge ocean in the Earth’s mantle.  No, it’s not liquid – it’s locked away in a mineral called ringwoodite (Discovery Science News).  When we first began discussing this on Facebook some people wondered if this somehow figured into the “hollow earth” theory that many of had heard discussions about or even read books on the topic.

The Reading Room included:  Jean Maurie Puhlman, Ivy Lieberman, Anita Perez, Joanne Mathew, Camille Kea, WalkWithSpirit (Readings by Cary) and ReeNee Cummins.

Of course, when one thinks of the Earth being approached by another planet, the works of Zecharia Sitchin come to mind.  He interpreted Sumerian and Akkadian clay tablets and introduced the idea that there had been a 12th planet in the solar system.  Many of Sitchin’s believes feel that the 12th planet had a large, elliptical orbit and drifts by Earth after incredible periods of time.  ReeNee talked to many people who claimed that the 12th planet was going to drift into the Earth in 2012, causing the predicted catastrophe (that never happened).  The cards did not give an affirmative on the 12th planet being the cause of the moon.  Both the Hubble and Kepler Space Telescopes have traced “rogue planets’ wandering throughout space.  So it is highly possible that another planet collided with the Earth; hence the cards agreed with scientific fact. 

The Reading Room and Tarot was much more interested in the huge oceans of water trapped within the Earth’s mantle.  We started with discussion of the hollow earth theory.  Both the Reading Room and Tarot dismissed the concept in its most fundamental understanding.  However, both the readers and the cards were open to the idea of endless caves that were located within the mantle of the planet.  Anita Perez stated “I think there are large caverns inside. I sense that they're there- but hollow?  I don't think that's exactly right.” Ivy Lieberman added “water, caverns, and elements we have not seen as yet,” which was general consensus.  Ivy added an interesting read “mother earth beginning to reveal secrets she was cautious to reveal before.  Can we understand?”

“Can we understand” was the real question of the day on U-Predict.  The cards indicated that this vast amount of water figured into a system of self-cleaning for the planet.  In fact, the cards talked about the bio-systems were self-regulating unless mankind did something to disrupt them.  We again this week had the King of Cups in synchronicity, and the Queen of Cups had high synchronicity this week as well.  The idea of nurturing was carried over.  Again the Reading Room interpreted that we were being told that we are nurtured by the planet, but not protected by forces that are set in motion to bring things into equilibrium.  The Queen of Swords was pulled in synchronicity.  So the introduces the warrior queen doing what she needs to do to protect her realm.  The 10 of Swords was also carried into this show in synchronicity.  It is an unpleasant reminder unless we decide to work with the bio-systems we can be swept into extinction. 

Of the Major Arcana cards, ALL WERE REPEATED IN SYNCHRONICITY FROM THE PREVIOUS SHOW.  Tarot last week took over the show with a strong message about the importance of working with the Earth and not exploiting it. This message continued this week.  We got the High Priestess; again stating that things would happen that we would not understand.  We have to have faith in the wisdom of the Earth and the Universe when such things happen.  We also got the Lovers again; we talked about making choices that are good for the here and now and not thinking about long term consequences.  We also got Strength; reminding us we are a resilient species.  However, we have to remember that the planet itself exhibits tremendous power; power that we must learn to revere. 

The only other card that was in Synchronicity that was new was the 4 of Pentacles.  We were surprised at its appearance.  It is the card that says that money or material wealth may save the situation.  The Reading Room interpreted that again someone may step up with financial or material resources thinking the can fix any damage done.  The Tarot dismisses that idea, as did the reading room.

The Angel cards that Jean Maurie pulled were amazing.  We got:  Page of Gabriel - energetic, brave, and optimistic. You are ready for any challenge and Queen of Ariel - nurture yourself and those you love.  The ability to make anything more beautiful.  Practical and wise advice.  But most amazing of all was: 9 of Gabriel - environment activism.  Be prepared for any possibility

Did Tarot and the Angels give us good advice?   U-Predict…

Blogger’s Note:  We haven’t read on Bigfoot because most of the readers who participate are believers.  I was concerned that the strong belief in a topic may influence the results.  However, this reading came from two new, different angles in the hunt for the elusive creature – first, researchers have noted that many of the pictures taken by witnesses are blurry.  This could add a level of paranormal to the sightings that no one had anticipated.  Many times paranormal investigators are plagued by blurry photos when the equipment they used to create the photo was carefully checked out and set up before the photo session began.  The other new angle – equally intriguing - was that UFO activity either preceded the sighting or followed it.  Some witnesses even claimed to have seen the beasts swept up by the UFO!  Now, were these two angles actually new information, or are they being introduced to keep the public’s interest up in an old topic.  We asked Tarot.

Readers for this session included:  Mary Nale, TarotDactyl (Mary Brown), Jean Maurie Puhlman, Ivy Lieberman, Camille Kea, and ReeNee Cummins.

There was one strong message from Tarot – leave Bigfoot alone.  Tarot was very dubious about humanity’s interest in the creature.  The cards described the creatures as loving to their own kind; living happily in tribes far away from mankind (synchronicities from the 3 of Cups and 10 of Cups, both cards of joyous, carefree living).   TarotDactyl drew an animal oracle card and got “power, loyalty, leadership, family,” which was confirmation of how we saw the tribes.  We drew the King and Queen of Hearts in synchronicity as well as the King and Queen of Wands in the same synchronicity.  This again speaks of a loving family environment; however we would see it as primitive (King and Queen of Wands are very pragmatic, solid foundation – but back to basics). 

The Major Arcana we pulled carried on the same theme.  We got Strength, indicating that the Sasquatch has a strong desire to survive.  We got Death, which matches with the cards/interpretations we got about their numbers dwindling.  We got the Hanged-Man.  There are two meanings here; in fact this card is a bridge between our past action and a new future.  First, we are pushing the Bigfoot back further into the wilderness as we develop more and more land.  Second, the Hanged Man talks about seeing things in a new way.  We also got the Judgment card in synchronicity.  This is a wake up moment.  We can gather information about sightings.  We can track were these sightings are.  But we don’t need to form “hunting parties” to go out and track them down.  One of the hottest discussions in the Bigfoot investigation community is “should we just shoot one, and end the question once and for all?”  The next question will be is one enough?  Or even worse, how much for a Bigfoot carcass that can be stuffed and sold?

Jean Maurie did angel card work for this reading.  We were told we needed to make choices of the heart.  The King of Gabriel, told us to “keep your eyes on the big picture.”  The King of Michael told us “that wisdom and objectivity are important now”!

So the Tarot indicated that they are a real, sentient being that shares the planet with us.  There was nothing pointing to the paranormal about the photos, just people being extremely excited or scared when taking the photos.  The UFO connection leads the Reading Room to conclude that their abduction experience is the same as ours.  In, fact, aliens may be trying to figure out what the link between the two species is.

So, the Tarot was specific about us leaving Bigfoot alone.  Do you agree?   U-Predict…
