I raise my eyebrows at tarot constantly - even though I receive answers which leave me feeling in a balance creating my two worlds with Michael - I know that to go one way or the other is a committment and unfortunately I am ruled by Mercury - Mercury does,nt like committment of any kind - not the very important questions anyway. The reason why is because when prodded our mind goes in several ways - we consider all the splitting apart of fractured optionis just like the balls of Mercury divide if you try to press a lump of it.. All the pieces spring out and then they roll back again.
Well thats my way of explaining my decisions in my mind. I do think something then I pull it all apart considering every single option but often find I come full circle and should just go with my hunches.
I feel as I have done for some while that everything is for a reason. What has occurred to Michael is important to HIS life/privacy and not really for ours. I know fans are longing and paining and hurting but - perhaps if I have to agree with the Jackson family - FAMILY COMES FIRST FANS COME SECOND - this was,nt said for no reason now was it? But - thats a bit of a stomach blow is,nt it?
The way I see it is this. This is not anything to do with the fans - the reasons I mean - this is something personal for somebody who was suffering and has suffered a lot of body blows. Hey just take a look at that nasty old card up there would you like to feel like that? Not me!!
So here is someone punctured and wounded - well that card looks like he is completely finnished does,nt it? Anyone in that condition has no chance of survival have they?
But whats the truth? thats what everyone wants to know - I avoid it like a rabbit who just found a nice cosy hole with the nearest fox - well its quite comfortable in there rather than face this question!!
Take a look at that card again - dont be scared - this card is just like the death card - the death card is also a rebirth card which signifies a transformation of life - taking away whats bad in a persons life and bringing them back to zero to begin again. Its the same with the Tower card which was the first card I received for Michael - it doesnt signify death but it does strike like bolt lightening and its like - getouttatheway!! The whole building is coming apart - and what happens when a building falls? you are left only with the foundation it stood on -
A lot of people buy plots of land and they knock down the original house because it does,nt suit them - and what do they do? They - rebuild!! Its not the same house - but its the same ground - have you got that?
Now the 10 of swords is a bit like that - its like the ultimate OMG card when you see the human form there lying in a terrible way - but this card need not be as bad as it looks. Swords are 'mental/communication' cards - they can be a little bit illusory because this card shows us what we are to feel and expect regarding Michael. but sometimes it is over exacgerated.
There is no doubt in my mind that there are hundreds of problems on this card I see many regarding Michael and much upset and many things that have gone wrong for him - but I know this card as the darkness before the dawn and often it can turn out more positive then it is implying.
I keep seeing that book there and find that pretty fascinating in a strange way. There seems to have been some book that would create problems I wonder if it is Rabbi Smuleys book. Well that could be a guess because we know Michael has his own book coming out that somehow we were not aware of.
Lets leave the book to one side for the moment as its too much to contemplate and I already have had this card once and mentioned a book.
This card reminds me more of mental distress then physical - but there is a feeling of being 'backstabbed' by someone here that really was not expected. Thats not physical remember - thats mental - so it makes me wonder if this has been part of what has occurred.
I cant be 100 per cent accurate and I cant apologise for that either because tarot just gives me flashes of this and that and leaves me with the spaghetti heap and Im left to try to unravel . I can get some of it slightly wrong but we need to take note of this card.
This card can be victim mentality - it can represent demotion, loss of job or position - so it makes you wonder whether someone was holding something over Michael at the time we were told he had passed. When I say holding something over - maybe something compromising?
There is another strange side to this card whereby someone might do something to help someone else because they are in greater pain or lets say possible illhealth and one becomes a martyr? Again all I can do is place the feelings I have here and hope they touch base somewhere.
In this card its like everything goes wrong, it goes wrong to such a point it even has , dare I say it - a humourous side? so the person throws their hands up and says que sera sera because what else can you do in a situation like this.
There is someone here with back problems and I have also pointed that out before. Back problems osteoarthritis perhaps - certainly something that one did not expect. One could never do anything with a problem like that. For one thing how can you move about?
Strange too because this card is a 10 and 10s are what we call after completion - they are the next stage along. Its like a persons worst nightmare came along in the 9 of swords worrying about whether they have done enough could they have done more - and then bang in comes this 10 of swords that threatens to ruin absolutely everything - darn it as if anyone needs that!!
Sometimes it just means that plans have to change perhaps, or one has to let go of things because what can you do about it? This card can represent 10 as I said before - swords are months and that could take us up to next August or indeed they can represent the August months -
The 10 of swords gives us East/Spring -June 11 to June 20 Michael was said to have passed away on June 25 - the Sun is in Gemini on this card - again the duality is present with leaves a large hummmm to anyone - the Sun is the tarot card of the family. This card shows us 'unprofitable words'
I think there is a book somewhere I dont know what book but I keep wondering somehow if this book was going to 'ruin' a few things. Im truly not sure I dont know where abouts its supposed to be in the time factor. I will need to pass on this for the moment. It does have a significance though and I know I have seen this before much earlier in the tarot.
This card gives us some kind of MARPLOT -
mar·plot (märplt)
n.
An officious meddler whose interference compromises the success of an undertaking.
so you see it looks like there was major interference going on but who what or how would be very complicated to explain with so many pieces of mercury to break open everywhere.
The other significance of this card and other feelings are what I have written before and so we know there is a pattern to the events leading up to Michaels disappearance.
However, the card is not as depressing as originally seemed. It can just be a time to recuperate after an operation, which could have involved the back or neck. This person may also be needing some bed rest from exhaustion or is possibly temporarily depressed due to a current situation. Time does heal all wounds. There are stars twinkling in the dark night sky in the background, giving hope and inspiration that dawn will eventually, and always does, arrive. Daylight is only hours away, if only we do not lose sight of that timely event. The person does recover, does carry on and move into the light of day with renewed vigour and enthusiasm. It just sometimes takes a little time and possibly some tender loving care.
The month of October may be particularly significant in relation to some event connected to the picture on this card. All is not lost though, as the month comes and goes just like every other month and by November all is generally well again and life is back on track.
Is this the truth of the situation? I dont know - Tarot tells me what it tells me and all we can do is just see - I have had this card before when someone really did pass away - the only difference being that I pulled one card for that but this card is the outcome of a full spread.
Perhaps we need to count to 10 and breathe. Accept what is there for the moment and see if there are any further developments that tell us differently. I am always prepared to be wrong in what I say. No amount of experience can make anyone right all the time.
This card seems to tell us that the end has not arrived but at the same time - it s a bit like a disney cartoon - curtain comes down and its bugs bunny saying thats it folks the drama is over - finnished. Finito.
All the hateful words, the backstabbing the critiscism everything - is going to come to an end with this card. Period.
What is interesting in this card is if you look closely at the man's hand in the foreground he appears to be giving the sign of the benediction or blessing, and this does seem to link him to Christ and more so the forgiveness that Christ would have bestowed on those who have hurt him - this seems to suggest here that the road to healing is being able to forgive, whether that forgiveness is of oneself or of someone else. - So here we arrive again back at thought patterns and how perhaps in order to heal, one needs to give up one negative way of thinking and replace it with a more positive outlook.
Forgiveness has played a large part in the cards and you will see this in Joes Tarot also and also that Michael would not have a word said against his family. He was prepared to forgive anyone. But he was looking for Justice and that is in other cards not this one but perhaps this one is part of that goal.?
It is important to understand with this card that when something ends, something new is waiting to begin. So we reduce 10 to 1+0=1 and we arrive again at the potential of the Ace (new beginnings) and the Major Arcana Card The Magician, who says to you "You have the power to create - you just have to recognise the power within."
So although this 10 Swords does look like a sorrowful card, what it really is, is a card of opportunity - the opportunity to move on and fulfill one's life instead of stagnating in a position that does nothing for you except pin you down
Just one last thought here to edit in. Jermaine told us that when Michael released his CD of all his No one songs the very same day they released some nasty tabloid stuff about children molestation.
Some people might even suggest that if your going to release a film, a new record and a world record of selling out over the entire planet - the best thing is not to be around for anyone to dish more dirt? Well that sounds terrible but he always deserved more than the treatment he was given. Lets wait and see what bearing this card has on the truth ?
Basically? It is,nt 'finnished' but in some respects its over. Its been acknowledged has,nt it?
