The Factor of Randomness and the Solitaire Technique

Original Source ↗

I would like to express my opinion regarding the scope of application for the solitaire method. As I understood from previous correspondence, this method is oriented towards "pushing through" Chains of Events in real life, including for resolving "karmic knots" and simply achieving desired outcomes from certain initial events. However, it seems to me that the aspect of the events' origin, if I may put it that way, is poorly considered here. It is quite obvious that "external events" are a response to human actions. On the other hand, the Chains of Events themselves do not begin with human actions, but with the very primary "external" event. IMHO, a person rarely performs truly independent actions (I can't even immediately give an example of such a situation) – human actions are a response to external influence. Simply put, Power challenges a person, and they have no other choice but to act impeccably or react imperfectly – this is how it sounds in the style of the Toltec tradition, to which I am generally very drawn :))

At the same time, it is always necessary to take into account that power is unpredictable – and this is an integral part of stalking. In other words, the factor of randomness, the "X factor," remains, influencing both the emergence of challenges and the Chains of Events. Since rearranging cards in different combinations and all sorts of other algorithms :) are actions within the realm of the mind, that is, the known, it would probably be quite foolish to assume that by simply supplementing the existing picture with the necessary card-actions in a certain rhythm, one can calmly await the fulfillment of desires: randomness never sleeps. Since the manifest Universe consists of the known, the unknown, and the unknowable, "rhythms of events," of course, exist due to the known, but they do not remain constant. The same can be said about DEIR methodologies: throwing a clot into the EI-field, as well as acting according to a developed "chain," is a step into the unknown – and in the action itself, it must be taken into account, as developing a "chain" only provides sobriety regarding necessary actions, but not an accounting for the unknown.

In essence, any action, as opposed to reacting, is a step into the unknown, because the ultimate goal of any challenge is to incorporate some particle of the unknown into the known – this is part of every person's purpose. However, the solitaire method can be excellently used in the realm of the known to achieve sobriety – that is, as a great tool for recapitulation. I think Tarot cards are well suited for this. In my family, almost all women are very good at Tarot reading, and from them, I learned that cards, of course, have a traditional interpretation, which is an integral part, but the main thing in dealing with them is associating one's own images (or considering the associations of the person for whom you are divining) with each card, which IMHO combines very well with your method of linking actions and events to cards. So we act approximately like this: shuffle the deck, lay out the first card. Take the first event that comes to mind according to association. Then either lay out another card and see what actions of that event it implies, or, say, if we remember what we did, associate it with another card and lay it out. This is how we analyze the Chain of Events.

By the way, suits can be associated with the four quarters and their corresponding properties, and numbers can be interpreted magically.
