I have a theory about religion, tarot, the subconscious [Spirituality & Religion]
I'll keep this as short as possible.
I think if there is a god, he/she/it (I'll refer to god as "it" from now on. I don't mean any offence) is your subconscious mind, when you do something good, it rewards you with endorphins etc. When you do bad, it judges you, it makes you feel guilt. Soldiers seeing the faces of the people they've killed etc.
How does this relate to religion and tarot?
Religious people find comfort in their faith fair enough, I'm not gonna get into that. They get life advice from the bible. You hear people say "I can open the bible at a random page and take something away from it. Something relating to their life.
In tarot. Actual tarot. Not Mumbo jumbo. People also take away life lessons. They turn cards randomly that have a meaning and take away a lesson from that.
What do I think is actually happening here?
I think people are giving "god" a chance to talk to them. By god, I mean their subconscious mind.
Your brain picks up a rediculous amount of information that your conscious mind can't handle. It just proscesses in the background.
How does this relate to religion and tarot?
Firstly religion. Devout people read the bible so much that they know it off by heart. They know every page like the back of their hand.
Seemingly randomly they flick through the pages, with a question about their life to god in their head. Subconsciously they know exactly what is on each page and exactly what that page feels like. That page has the answer to their question.
Same with tarot. The cards have meaning to the person, they are giving their subconscious mind a chance to guide them. By trusting this they are unlocking the full power of their brain. It's intuition.
Learn to trust it. Let it guide you. It knows what is best.
