May 21st, 2013 - Tuesday - Interference - 

Interference….  Gemini split card.

This is a very blunt reading on this card today.  On a card with this much energy you want to remember something important: This is the card of the DAY.  Just for today…

This card is telling you that your thoughts are lying to you.  That’s pretty strong language.  Right now, ask yourself what your Mother’s maiden name is?  Got it?  Your mind just told you what it was, retrieved from your memory banks.

What if that wasn't right?

You might be saying, but it is. I know it. I remember it.  It sounds familiar.

But that’s what your mind is telling you… it’s SAYING this is the name, and it’s familiar.  What if it’s totally LYING?

What the Interference card reversed is telling us in no uncertain terms is to question everything.  Especially, question the conclusions you have made based on your thoughts.  Yes, the example of your Mother’s maiden name is extreme… but we've all met people who are absolutely certainly about information they have, and we know… they are wrong.  They don’t think they are wrong… but they are.

Today… that is YOU.   Your mind is against you.  It sounds funny, but it is way more common than you think.  Go to any AA meeting and you’ll hear people talk about how they have a demon inside them that wants them dead.  But the truth is, we ALL have these demons.  We all have multiple personalities.

Peter J. Carol in his book: The Apophenion: A chaos Magick Paradigm explains how we ALL have multiple personalities. 

Have you ever wanted a piece of chocolate?  And one part of your brain says yes, the other says no?  Bing!  Multiple personality.  You’re no different than the Greek Gods!

“Your mind has lied to you, made things up, and exaggerated the weaknesses you hold.”

From Suzanne Wagners Integral Tarot.

Why is it doing this?  Because the brain tries to fill in the gaps and make sense of things.  By doing this it lies a lot of the time.  Straight to your face.  Gemini Interference!

To me, the idea that my brain is lying to me is not a big deal. I study the brain, I study people, I see it all the time.  I attack my own ego and know it’s trying to keep me prisoner.  This is a real phenomenon that I see… But most people do not even contemplate the idea that their brain and ego is the enemy.  It makes them uncomfortable and they won’t even entertain the idea. 

Interference! 

I have a book recommendation for you: You Are Not So Smart by David McRaney.

This book is big.  It will shift your paradigms in HUGE ways.  It’s not a small thing. It’s a very challenging book.

I feel like today’s post has been HUGE. Lot’s of information, and I’m thinking… probably way too much information.  But let me offer one more thing before I recap and simplify this huge topic.

It’s possible… even probable… that the lies are being told to you from someone else.  Yes, we just spent the previous portion of our A Day in the Life of Tarot Aleister Crowley and Lady Freida Harris Thoth blog talking about lying to yourself.  And I know that is the information the angels and universe want conveyed.  But for some of you, they also want you to realize there could be some ‘external’ lying going on.  Other people could be putting you down and creating even more drama.  If this is happening… then here is the message: The universe is trying to show you very clearly that the path with these people is OFF.  Just watch. If drama comes up, if attack comes up, you will know…

Okay, time to sum up the Gemini Interference card:  Go get You Are Not So Smart by David McRaney.  That’s where you start.  Read it slowly, take your time, dive in, and enjoy finding out you are not so smart. 

And remember what our good friend Socrates said: “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”  Ah… sweet magical words!  I love them.
