Working with Chains of Events

The use of Medici Solitaire seems to me an excellent example of stalking, because it clearly demonstrates how Chains of Events are formed and how one should work with them. I have become convinced that there are many unfinished chains in my life that burden me energetically, and I have understood how to cleanse myself of them. This is a more complex method than simple, mundane fortune-telling.

Questions

Now that someone has understood something, I immediately have a series of questions:

1. Have you developed your own system of interpretation, on what principles, and what does it look like?
2. How many events resulted? 36, or more? How do you determine an event's belonging to your scale, and most importantly, what should the future event be?
3. How do you define an "unfinished" chain?

To be honest, I haven't developed a system of interpretation. The principle itself intrigued me. Indeed, each day, each event is a kind of card, carrying a significance-value and a suit-quality. They overlap, forming a chain of facts, some of which are unrelated and merely chronologically proximate, while others are interdependent. And this constitutes our personal history, from which we cannot escape.

We can bring each phenomenon to its logical conclusion and thus realize it, or "close it" in the language of cards.

In other words, you were pushed, and you got angry. How might events unfold further? One might strike back, another might swear, a third might insult so subtly that the offender only understands an hour later, a fourth might simply stare, and that would be enough. One could also move on without doing anything, carrying a negative affect within. Who acted correctly in this situation? In my opinion, the last option is incorrect, because any action requires a reaction, and the more refined this reaction, the better. In other words, one must "cover the card," not leave it lying-smoldering somewhere in the depths of one's consciousness.

There is, however, another option: simply ignoring the rudeness. But that is for the impeccable, those who have freed themselves from the chains of self-reflection. For now, we are forced to engage in this kind of stalking.

To illustrate, let me recount a story. This happened several years ago.

I had a long relationship, and then we parted ways. I was left with an indescribable medley of guilt, anger, a sense of loss, the feeling of betrayal, and many other intriguing emotions. At some point, I felt incredibly crushed; the sheer weight of my own unsuccessful personal history bore down on me. Following a friend's advice, I simply "closed the card." I did what I hadn't done back when everything was still good and when it needed to be done. I called her and proposed marriage. It didn't matter that time had passed, that she already had someone else, that she had her own plans, or ultimately, that I simply had no money for a wedding. I went all-in. I was terribly trembling, writhing, her voice tore at my brain (I must have pushed myself to such a state). She refused me. She spoke in a calm voice, devoid of former love and passion, yet no less dear to me for it. She said: "No." I began to persuade, I asked: "Is this your final decision?" She said: "Final."

By evening, I felt unspeakably lighter. It was as if a huge stone had fallen from my soul. I was ready to fly. I had closed that card. I still had many other unfulfilled cards, and I still continue to love her. But that card, I had closed.

That day, I understood what stalking truly is. That summer, I had my first Lucid Dream after a long break.

I don't have a system of interpretation; I simply lay out the cards, and if many have accumulated and remain unfinished, that's bad. I purely subjectively determine what each card signifies, and I decide where my weak points are, what I haven't worked through.

I believe it's better to take interpretations from already developed systems; in this case, Tarot would be a good choice. But everyone must understand for themselves what the Queen of Spades means to them, and what the Ace of Diamonds signifies.

APK (Alexei Petrovich Ksendzyuk - editor's note) is suspicious of fortune-telling. But I have observed that they work; signs exist. I don't know how to explain it. Indeed, how is a drawn Ten of Diamonds related to a party tonight? I don't know. The only way to console myself is that the world is incomprehensible and mysterious.

Another explanation is that the Tonal interprets signs based on the elements present within it. It's all about interpretation.

I have no fixed number of events, no scale, or anything else. Everything is fluid and subjective and changes each new time. And I use solitaire not to determine the future, but rather to halt everyday life, pondering the meanings of the cards, performing a life review. In other words, I work with the past. Just as Don Juan read poetry to stop internal dialogue.
