I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Competition

From the Mary-El Tarot, the Six of Disks; from the OH cards, Measurement:


They are consumed with envy. Surrounded by all they desire, they enjoy none of it. Instead, they are constantly at war with one another: competing, comparing and consumed with their perceived lower status. ―Kellie Schorr

White uses the angel Gabriel, bringer of good news and helpful information, in her vision of the Six of Disks. This card refers to harmony restored after a period of gain and loss. Hopefully by this time we have reconsidered our attachments to comfort and material things, realizing how easily they can disappear and later reappear in different form. Such an understanding keeps us from taking things for granted or placing an unfounded value on them. Measurement paired with the Six of Disks is like the Buddhist realm of the jealous gods. Those that dwell (psychologically) in this place have a good life, yet they think it's not as great as the gods that live next door. Such comparison completely wrecks our chances for contentment, gratitude and happiness.
