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."

Natural Orientation

From the Tarot of the Absurd, the Ace of Coins; from the Post-psychedelic Cyberpunk, the 'Klein Bottle:'
          The Ace of Coins is a reminder of all the physical resources we have, beginning with the body we live in. Money is secondary to what we do with our primary assets. Where there are resources, there are projects and a sense of purpose. Yet these things must be used mindfully; not all of them are renewable or easily replaced. It's a good thing this fellow seems to be wisely considering how to use those in his possession before he begins.
          The Klein Bottle is similar to the Möbius strip in that they are both non-orientable. Basically, this means that if we travel on the surface, our natural orientation such as left and right or up and down get flipped around until they no longer have meaning. When that fellow quits meditating and decides to start using his resources, he might have a linear plan, but life rarely moves in a direct line. If he wants to continue, he will have to learn to adjust and adapt.
